The Comedian Harmonists was a famous, all-male German close harmony group (5 singers plus pianist) that performed between 1927 and 1934. They were one of the most successful 20th century musical groups in Europe before WW-II and worked by the highest professional standards.
Some members were jewish, so the group got into trouble in early nazi Germany. Some of the members flew to America, all of them survived WW-II.
