Many sources reference, based on Hanfstaengl's statements, his composition of various Nazi marching songs based on Harvard's football music, and his claim that Seig Heil!, Seig Heil!, Seig Heil! was based on Harvard's Fight, Fight, Fight song. Funny rememberences of Hitler marching around Putzi's apartment in time to Harvard football chants played by Putzi. And yes, Putzi's wife claims to have stopped Hitler from suicide following the Beer Hall putsch. He sought refuge in their home.
Hitler’s piano player. Discussed quite a lot in “In the Garden of the Beasts” by Eric Larson. Putzi hung out with FDR’s first ambassador to Germany, and there were many confessions and admissions he made, especially to Amb. Dobbs and his daughter. An appalling joke of a person with art business in New York. It was to Putzi’s home that Hitler came after the first BeerHall Putsch failed and the police were chasing him— he almost killed himself there by pistol, except for Putzi’s American wife calming him down.
“Seig Heil” was created by Putzi— few know this.
Here is Putzi story in a 56 Minute youtub documentary:
