Wessel’s family background was quite a cut above Trayvons. His father was a well known music professor and Horst showed promise as a budding musician and composer himself. That is until he hooked up with the SA. His tune “Die Fahen Hoch’’(’’The Flag is High’’) was a set of lyrics he penned and used the melody from an old North German folk tune. After his death it became the second national German anthem. Goebbbels referred to Wessel as ‘A Socialist Christ’’.
