The Horst Wessel Lied ("Horst Wessel Song"), also known as Die Fahne Hoch ("The flag on high", from its opening line), was the anthem of the Nazi Party of Germany, chosen to glorify Horst Wessel as a Nazi martyr. Today it is still banned in Germany under Strafgesetzbuch §86 and §86a.

[edit] Lyrics in German
Die Fahne hoch die Reihen fest geschlossen
S.A. marschiert mit ruhig festem Schritt
Kam'raden die Rotfront und Reaktion erschossen
marschier'n im Geist in unsern Reihen mit
Die Straße frei den braunen Batallionen
Die Straße frei dem Sturmabteilungsmann
Es schau'n auf's Hakenkreuz voll Hoffnung schon Millionen
Der Tag für Freiheit und für Brot bricht an
Zum letzen Mal wird nun Appell geblasen
Zum Kampfe steh'n wir alle schon bereit
Bald flattern Hitler-Fahnen über allen Straßen
Die Knechtschaft dauert nur mehr kurze Zeit
Die Fahne hoch Die Reihen fest geschlossen
S.A. marschiert mit ruhig festem Schritt
Kam'raden die Rotfront und Reaktion erschossen
marschier'n im Geist in unsern Reihen mit
[edit] Lyrics in English
The flag held high, the ranks stand tight together,
S.A. marches on with silent forward pace.
Comrades shot by Red Front and Reaction
still march with us, their spirits in our ranks.
The street free for the brown battalions,
The street free for the Storm-Trooper.
Up at the swastika millions already look, full of hope;
The day breaks for freedom and for bread.
For the last time the call will now be blown;
For the struggle we all stand ready.
Soon will fly Hitler-flags over every street;
Slavery will last only a short time longer.
The flag held high, the ranks stand tight together,
S.A. marches on with silent forward pace.
Comrades shot by Red Front and Reaction
still march with us, their spirits in our ranks.
