Alone in Berlin (Penguin Modern Classics)

∗ Horst Wessel was a minor Nazi activist murdered in 1930 in a dispute over back rent or politics – it was never determined. Nevertheless the Nazis made him a martyr, and a song he wrote – ‘Die Fahne hoch’ or ‘Raise high the flag’ – was renamed the Horst Wessel Song and made into the official song of the Nazi Party.
