Nazi Germany fielded some swing music bands despite Hitler's objections to "decadent Western" music.Because of its roots in African-American music, the racist Nazi regime had declared it to be "inhuman music" and banned it in all of occupied Europe.It became difficult to staff a big band because many musicians were overseas fighting in the war.Swing declined because of this.(https://youtu.be/xS5oCLXrQLs) -
