Who is baron Nofenblattern?

Question

Answer 1

Gottlieb, 24th Baron of Nofenblattern, was a noted zither player who, sadly, vanished after being arrested by the Gestapo in 1938 following the publication of a tune he had written especially for the zither. This tune, "Our Fuehrer's in the Pink", was mistakenly taken as a homosexual jibe.
