Summary

[edit]
Description
English: An illustrated postcard of the lyrics to the Horst Wessel Lied, the official marching song of the Nazi party. Horst Wessel was a storm trooper who was killed as a young man by an unknown assailant in 1930. During his period in the SA he wrote the lyrics to a marching song that incorporated many slogans of the Nazi party. It was later set to the tune of an old fisherman's song. After Wessel's death, Joseph Goebbels turned him into a hero and martyr of the Nazi party and his poem into an official song of the movement.
