OK, another Strauss quote (from memory): "That big, pumped-up frog Prussia, also known as Grossdeutschland (Greater Germany), has finally been flattened."
All artists and writers who were anything but strongly and unequivocally opposed to the Nazi regime have been tainted. Perhaps rightly so. But what about that much bigger group who supported Stalin and Mao? Sartre et al?
Yes exactly Jew, let rational and not brainwashed mass humans judge my words, you see your establishment and the Jewish Hollywood have done much to indoctrinate the masses about who was the "devil" and who wasnt, so indeed we need rationality not masses in order to judge who was the protector of civilized humanity and who was the expresser of subhumanity during ww2
One should strive to be proud of one's own people and culture.
Thus, it is important that one's people and culture are worthy of pride, and one should struggle to make them so.
Strauss was unfortunate to be working in Germany at those times when he had to see his own people and culture being corrupted by horrific unreasonable violence driven by feelings of grandeur, losing the moral battle completely.
Under such conditions, any great artist should make a choice.
But one can not ignore the historical context which, in his case, is a very miserable one.
Strauss was not a nationalist or a racist at all, but he submitted to the Nazis. The well written play "Collaboration" by Ronald Harwood deals with that issue exactly.
@ashouv First of all; the symbol upon the Bradenburg Gate is not the Parteiadler; it is the Quadriga (as you've stated), which is a Roman/Greek sculpture representing the chariot of the Gods along with Victory and Fame.
The Nazi Party symbol was the Swastika, originally a symbol of good luck. Also used as a Buddhist symbol to represent eternity.
@SceptrumBritannia Hitler might have been a racist, but he didn't hide the fact. FDR, who was a racist, did in fact hide the fact. The Yanks are such hypocrites.
What historical context? The Olympic Games? What's wrong with them? And if Strauss had been a nationalist. What would have been bad about that? Who are you to tell people whether they are allowed to love their country or not?
@HerrWagnerfreund Loving you're country is important. One should strive to be proud of country.

@ashouv Juden , certainly the conscious Europeans dont give a damn about the opinions of a Jew concerning the third Reich . The unfortunate event was that Germany was destroyed by the forces of eternal darkness.
@Napoleontas If so, conscious Europeans should not giva a damn about the opinions of the Jews Heine, Mahler, Lessing, Mendlson, and of course Freud or Einstein who wrote in the beautiful correspondace "why war" about the unfortunate nature of the German nationalistic violance.
@ashouv Freud and Einstein, Freud was a paranoiac who only defiled whatever he touched and Einstein was a zionist plagiarist and an immitator of other peoples work. Like Poincares, Lorentzs ,De prettos, etc, only because he was a JEW and a zionist is so famous and advertised. As for the others , those were also immitators of European music and according to the Greatest of them Richard wagner ,defilers and uncreative. This Jew also wrote why the jews were "superior"
@ashouv and jew you have also forgotten to mention the "great' nobelist Jews who after their supposed distraction showed their nobel Laureates statistics being skyrocketed to a 200 or 300% increase.
Freud was a pioneer in forming the way we see the Human mind in modern times.
Poincare, Lorentz, De pretto and Einstein all drew from the same scientific well, and tackled the same issues. Einstein was much more thorough in formulating the theory of relativity, than others of his generation.
Jews were a part of the European culture. They did not imitate European culture, they took part in creating it.
This if funny: Jews are blamed of being Plutocrats and Bolsheviks at the same time. Apparently Jews are to blame for every problem that Europe had and has.
The only difference between Anti-Semitism and other kinds of racism is that other hated nations are hated for being inferior, while Jews are feared to be superior.
Rest your mind, we are not superior. There is nothing to be afraid of.
@ashouv No you are not blamed for superiority, you are blamed for parasitic infiltration, cancerous character, backstabbing practices and behind the scenes collaboration in between your own kind.
And if racial awarness and the pointing out of Jewish parasitism is in your vocabulary called "racism" then who ever is not a racist is either a Jewish puppet or a complete idiot.
@Napoleontas "The most terrible period of human history is at an end, the twelve year reign of bestiality, ignorance and anti-culture under the greatest criminals, during which Germany's 2000 years of cultural evolution met its doom. - Richard Strauß, 1945
@gspaulsson And that quote having been dated at 1945 after the fall of the reich is just a proof that Strauss was far better composer than a person, as a person he was obviously a weak and pitiful man who reversed his sayings when the circumstances favored it, exactly as Abert Speer did.
According to what I read, when the Nazis ascended to power they used the Brandenburg gate and the Quadriga as their party symbol. So even though it is not originally a nationalistic symbol, the Brandenburg gate's Quadriga with it's specific design, is now obviously stained by the Nazi history.
@ashouv Hardly, the Hymn refers to nations going foward to fight hard. Fostering the competative spirit which defines the Olympics. There is no reference whatsoever to the Nazi Party of the Third Reich. After all. the Olympics are meant to be above politics.
An inspiring work of art. I wish this was the official Olympic theme for all time.

@ashouv So what you've read is wrong. Also, contrary to popular belief; Hitler did not snub Jesse Owens, after the 1936 Olympics he said this:
"Hitler didn't snub me—it was FDR who snubbed me. The president didn't even send me a telegram."
