The Readers Digest "Remembering Yesterdays Hits" Songbook says:
“Lilli Marlene“ was one of the important songs of World War II. It, of course, shares that distinction with such novelty tunes as “Rosie the Riveter“ and such lovely nostalgic favourites as “The White Cliffs of Dover“. The difference is that “Lilli“ was a favourite with both German and allied troops. The song’s international flavour was accentuated when Marlene Dietrich adopted it as her own. Most people probably look back upon even the most calamitous of times as “the good all days“, and no doubt some ex-soldier boy, now gray the temples and somewhat long of tooth, will smile with a faraway look in his eye as he plucks out this tune, thinking of the girl “underneath the lantern by the barrack gate“
