Whats the link to wagner's music/lifestyle & nazism?

Question

please answer in point form, dont send a link.

i have always wondered this.

also are there links to american political ideology and wagner for that matter.

Answer 1

The link to Nazism isn't in his operas and music, He was a prolific writer of commentary, and some of these were highly antisemitic.

Hitler was fan of Wagner's music, and used Wagner's antisemitic remarks, not mentioning or suppressing  what couldn't or didn't want to use.

Americans have mastered n**i's ability to take comments out of context and use comments they like as sound bites, discarding the rest they wish to ignore.

Answer 2

-Both Hitler and Wagner were racists.

-Wagner's works reflected his racism and antisemitism.

-Hitler's writings reflected his racism and antisemitism.

-Hitler saw Wagner as a kindred spirit.

-To Hitler Wagner works embodied the spirit of a Greater Germany.
