    Yes. But this politician sang the Deutschlandlied, not the Horst-Wessel-Lied.

      Not too sure where this info comes from?

        I unfortunately saw the video on a shady French site when I searched for his name (here; you can click, but it’s not very interesting and you’ll have visited an alt-right website).

          Ok I now see what you mean. Thanks for the link, unfortunately for some reason the video doesn’t play for me so I can’t hear it. Still in the article you linked they say he sung the nazi-era Deutschlandlied version, which includes the 2 first verses. The current version has only the third one.

            Yeah I thought that the first stanza, while not official, was still often sung by normal people and not just by Nazis. Looks like I was wrong 😅
