Wunschkonzert (Request Concert) is a 1940 German drama propaganda film by Eduard von Borsody. After The Great Love, it was the most popular film of wartime Germany, reaching the second highest gross.
==Background== The popular music show '' (Request Concert for the Wehrmacht) was broadcast on the German radio network every Sunday afternoon at 3.00 from the Great Broadcasting Room of the Haus des Rundfunks on Masurenallee in Berlin. Its popularity was based in part on its claims to broadcast music requested by men in the armed forces, thus uniting the armed forces and the homefront in Volksgemeinschaft''. Reich Minister Goebbels insisted that all German performers contribute to it, and concluded that a film based on it would be even more successful.
