Did it really say Peace in Vietnam? Of course that was 1955 after the war ended and the three countries were independent. But during the war it surely would have been Peace in Indochina!
I went to a performance by an East German theatre company many, many years ago. They did Brecht, I can't remember what exactly, but I definitely remember the lead singer whose name was Hans Eisler. He seemed, to my then very youthful eyes, to be oldish, though I suppose he could have been the son of the Eisler you mentioned. Anyway, he was the most brilliant exponent of the Brecht/Weill songs I've ever heard - and that includes Lotte Lenya (though of course I did not see her live). We had a young woman in my home town who was a renowned singer of Brecht, but he made her sound like Vera Lynn!
