Norbert Schultze on composing music for the Third Reich
Norbert Schultze (1911-2002 ), the composer of the 1938 song "Lili Marleen", talks about how he composed a marching song for the Third Reich, under the supervision of Goebbels, in 1941, to mark the German invasion of the Soviet Union.
Later on in this monologue, filmed in 1993, (he was 82 ), Schultze goes on to recall how, at the end of the war, he composed a marching song titled "To Hell again,M.P." for the commander of the American military police in Berlin.
Schultze, despite being a Party member during the war years, was a composer first and foremost, and vehemently denied that he had ever been a 'Nazi'.
Albert Speer, Hitler's architect, made a similar claim after the war, but unlike Schultze, he was in a much better position to know what was going on ' behind the scenes '.
He claimed he knew nothing about the Holocaust, and it's unclear whether he did or didn't, even though he was aware of deportations and the use of slave labour in concentration camps to construct munitions and other weapons of war.
He was sentenced to 20 years in Spandau prison for aiding Hitler's war effort ( the Russians wanted a harsher sentence ).
The court costs for Schultze's "denazification" by a West German court amounted to 3000 marks, but he never paid the money because he had never considered himself to be a 'Nazi' in the first place !
Officially, he had been classified as a "follower ", even if he wasn't a 'full-blown' Nazi, and therefore had to be " denazified ".
"Mein lied " (pronounced mine leed ) means "My song ".
