This observation applies above all to Das Lied der Deutschen ("The song of the Germans"), written in 1841. It became the national canticle of the Weimar Democracy in 1922, simply during the Nazi era, just the commencement stanza was used, followed by the SA song "Horst-Wessel-Lied".^[one]

Sturmabteilung (SA) songs [edit]

Many pre-1933 SA songs were based on older German folk melodies, but there were also instances in which SA combat songs copied the melodies of rival Reddish Front Fighters songs, which were in turn based on Russian marches. An example of this is the fascist song "Brüder in Zechen und Gruben" ("Brothers in mines and pits"), which copied the melody of the communist "Brüder, zur Sonne, zur Freiheit" (Brothers, to the sun, to freedom"), whose melody, in plough, belonged to the march "Smelo, tovarishchi, v nogu" ("Смело, товарищи, в ногу"; "Comrades, allow's bravely march") written in 1895/6 by Leonid Radin in Moscow's Taganka prison.

The vocal was written by Horst Wessel, a party activist and SA leader, who was killed by a member of the Communist Party of Germany. After his death, he was proclaimed by the NSDAP a "martyr" and his vocal gained widespread popularity among the party followers.^[3]

Public performances of the song are currently forbidden in Federal republic of germany (StGB §86a) and Austria (Verbotsgesetz 1947), a ban that includes both the lyrics and the melody, which are but permitted for educational purposes.

"Kampflied der Nationalsozialisten" [edit]

"Kampflied der Nationalsozialisten" ("Boxing Song of the National Socialists"), too known by its opening line "Wir Sind Das Heer Vom Hakenkreuz" ("We Are The Army Of The Swastika") was an early Nazi hymn. Its lyrics were written by Kleo Pleyer, while the melody was essentially based on that of the traditional High german folk song Stimmt an mit hellem hohen klang, which was composed in 1811 past Albert Methfessel. Subsequently, the verses of Das Berliner Jungarbeiterlied (with the opening line Herbei zum Kampf, ihr Knechte der Maschinen) were added to the song. Das Berliner Jungarbeiterlied was prepare to the melody of the Air March (the official march of the Soviet Air Force), which was composed in 1921 by Yuliy Abramovich Khayt. During the Nazi era, the song was performed by Carl Woitschach'due south orchestra in its full version, incorporating both melodies, as "Kampflied der Nationalsozialisten/Herbei zum Kampf".

"Die Hitlerleute" (Kameraden Laßt Erschallen) [edit]

"Kameraden Laßt Erschallen" ("Comrades Let it Resound") was a Sturmabteilung organisation of the Kaiserjägerlied written by Karl Mühlberger in 1924.

"Auf, Hitlerleute, schließt die Reihen" (Hitlernationale) [edit]

The Nazis were not reticent in employing songs and melodies previously associated wholly with socialists and communists in their quest to broaden their appeal to the working grade, and the Internationale was a prime target. Past 1930, a Nazi version of this working-grade standard was in apportionment, entitled the Hitlernationale:^[4]

The lyrics were as follows:

Auf, Hitlerleute, schließt die Reihen, Zum Rassenkampf sind wir bereit. Mit unserem Blut wollen wir das Banner weihen, Zum Zeichen einer neuen Zeit. Auf rotem Grund im weiβen Felde, Weht unser schwarzes Hakenkreuz. Schon jubeln Siegesignale, Schon bricht der Morgen hell herein. Der nationale Sozialismus Wird Deutschlands Zukunft sein.

Arise Hitler men, close ranks, We are ready for the racial struggle. With our blood we consecrate the banner, The symbol of a new era. On its scarlet and white background, Shines our blackness swastika bright. Victory sounds are heard all over, As the morning lite breaks through; National Socialism Is the future of Germany.

Appropriating working-class songs such every bit the Internationale for their own political ends had a direct effect on the streets, every bit the Nazi composer Hans Bajer noted when giving this business relationship of a march by the SA into working-class district of north Berlin 1 Sun afternoon in 1930:

When the tempest troopers broke into song, singing the 'Hitlernationale', residents threw open up their windows, misled momentarily by the familiar tune. Realizing quickly that Nazis were trying to appropriate the tune of their revolutionary canticle, the socialist residents countered by singing the refrain from the original text 'Völker hört die Signale! Auf zum letzten Gefecht' ('Comrades, listen to the Indicate! Onward, to the last battle!'), while others pelted the tempest troopers with bits of debris. Police promptly moved in to prevent serious trouble.^[four]

Bajer'south business relationship proves once again that song played a primal function in the battle for control of the streets. Unfortunately, no recorded version of the song survives today, only the lyrics.^[five]

"Hitlerleute" ("The Hitler's people") [edit]

That song had the aforementioned tune of Italian "Giovinezza"^[6]
