On this day in 1930, young leader of the Berlin SA Horst Wessel became a martyr of the National Socialist struggle to liberate Berlin from communism.
“Die Fahne Hoch,” or “Raise the Flag” is a song written by Horst Wessel as a fighting song for the SA. After his martyrdom, it was adopted as the official anthem of the NSDAP and later as the national anthem of the Third Reich itself, as the Horst-Wessel-Lied.
The three biographies under the same name in our collection are not so much dry factual recitations as they are passionate eulogies for a young man who laid down his life for his country, driven by idealism and a fanatical love for his people, and serve as an inspiring example of personal courage and devotion as well as a record of history that must be preserved.
Rest in Peace.
