Horst Wessel. A song about a dead pimp set to a fine German naval tune.
A secret policeman of Stalins time commented that, when they picked up their victims off the street, none called out to passers by for help. "We had nothing to show that we had authority" he said. "If the passing public had sided with the suspects we would have had to go away. But they never did. They turned their eyes aside and walked on glad that it was not them and the victims followed us like sheep".
By the time "Stalins time" came to pass the communist regime had taken control of the levers of power
There's been quite a number of songs that have been used for newer renditions...
The 19th century American song: "My Country 'Tis of Thee" comes to mind
At May, 20th, 75 years ago, German Nazis brought to the newly built Auschwitz concentration camp a group of 728 Polish political prisoners from the prison in Tarnów. This date is considered to be the day when the camp began to operate.
It is estimated that around 75,000 Polish political prisoners were murdered in Auschwitz by the Germans. On the whole, during WW2, the Germans murdered around six million Polish citizens, half of which were Jewish and the other half were Catholic.
Today we are witnessing the rewriting of history, as the victims, namely the Polish people, are being blamed for the Nazi crimes which were perpetrated by the German people during WW2.
US president Barack Obama called the German built concentration camps on Polish soil "Polish death camps", while the head of the FBI Blamed Poles and other nationalities for the crimes of the Nazis.
In Europe the French President, François Hollande, called the German people "victims of the Nazis", and very recently the German parliament thanked the allies for "liberating" Germany from the Nazis.
Here's a reminder of just who exactly the Nazis were.

The problem in the west is in not understanding that democracy is an alien concept in Islam. If your religious leader speaks and knows the word of God why would he not be your political leader.
The plan for post-Saddam Iraq was to install a democratic government that afforded the Iraqi people the ability to have a decent life without fear of ending up in a mass grave at the whim of their leader.
What the coalition planners did not count on, was the insurgents (most foreign) who jumped on the bandwagon at the request of local leaders who were nothing more than two-bit warlords hiding under the auspices of religion.
The war itself was not illegal, it was deliberated on and approved by, the UN and covered under several resolutions AND prior to the war, Saddam was given countless opportunities to comply with UN requests that would have alleviated this war from the onset.
The Iraqi war was not an act of "leibensraum" or an act of "protecting Russian speaking minorities". The goal was to go in, clean house and leave.
Is there a different version of this concept occurring in Russia?
Several of my buddies (Army and Marines) said they were encountering a good number of Syrians, Jordinians and even some Chechens along with some ex-Iraqi army mixed in with locals
