“Wagner was around during the nazi era?”

No. Big Duh to me.

A rumored anti-Semite, but surely not a Nazi.

Thank you.

Wagner was around during the Nazi era?

LOL. Wilhelm Richard Wagner (22 May 1813 – 13 February 1883) was a German composer, theater director, polemicist, and conductor who is chiefly known for his operas (or, as some of his mature works were later known, "music dramas").

Adolf Hitler (German: 20 April 1889 – 30 April 1945). Hitler was born after Wagner died. The Nazis did use his music as part of their spectacles, but that is the only connection.

Wagner was around during the nazi era?

The composer's English born daughter in law, Winifred Wagner, appeared with Hitler and hosted him at the Bayreuth music festivals. The Wagner family appears to have been close to the Fuhrer.
