Horst Wessel was a Nazi street fighter of no great distinction. He died in a brawl with some other thugs his landlady had hired.
Because his death played into Party propaganda, he was posthumously raised to secular sainthood. The ballad of his death became a favorite Nazi marching song.
The brown shirt loser was overdue on his rent payment and the landlord asked some locals to help him/her out. Well, the locals were communist party members and they really took it out on him.

Unless I’m misremembering something, he was shot in the face when he opened his apartment door.
late recall: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horst_Wessel Yeah, shot at his door.
He brawled with the shotgun shell, and lost.

If the Germans get wind of this, those plagiarism charges will most certainly nail them to the cross.

Communist… landlord enforcers? 🙃
That’s one way to serve an eviction…
While you’re drawing parallels, remind everyone how to stop Nazis.
Remind us 🙏 (tell me for the first time)
I figured this whole thing had legs, like the Wessel story. Appears our attention span is too short to give a shit about a murdered fascist.
