Oh yes. I do too.
There’s the useful stuff,
The Gushing sentimental stuff,
The Haughty stuff,
And the Potty-Mouth stuff.
And of course, on any Wagner thread, someone ALWAYS mentions THE WAR.

Mentioning the war is actually rather apt. Wagner was one of Hitler's cultural godfathers, even though the composer died six years before Hitler was born.
If you want to see how Wagner affected the movement, look at newsreels of the funerals of Nazi militia members killed in street fighting during the Weimar years. Then compare the footage to "Entrance of the Gods into Valhalla" from "Das Rheingold." The influence of Wagner is unmistakable.
