Coincidently I listed to Wagner just two nights ago.
Wagner: The Ring Without Words
Das Rheingold, WWV 86a - 1. Greenish Twilight
Wagner, Richard (1813-1883) German (Died 6 years before Hitler was born)
No urge to move on Poland.

The SS was very fond of Mozart
Not going to give him up either.

The Abwehr; Robert Schumann
SS, SA and Gestapo were fond of German folk music.

Joseph Stalin killed everybody one by one except his favorite composer
Dmitri Shostakovich.
For me he's right under G. Mahler but closing.

Genghis Khan was fond of Mongolian Cha Cha music.
I'm listening to some for breakfast tomorrow morning.
With kippers.
