Some might be interested in this Berlin Noir set in 1929.
Learned of it on Running Iron Report

I am halfway through, or so.
One scene sent chills through my spine-not because the guys in this scene are policeman who are mostly future Nazis, but because the song they sang to honor their World War One dead comrades was mentioned in Bernard Fall's book on Dien Bien Phu (Hell in a Very Small Place) as being sung by the German members of the French Foreign Legion.
He said it was a song that German soldiers had sung since the Middle Ages to honor their dead and the passage stuck with me.
I miss Dunadan right now, as I remember discussing Bernard Fall with him.
I am really going to have to read: The Centurions and The Praetorians.
