      The “Horst-Wessel-Lied”, also known by its opening words “Die Fahne hoch”, was the anthem of the Nazi Party from 1930 to 1945. From 1933 to 1945, the Nazis made it the de-facto co-national anthem of Nazi Germany, along with the first stanza of the “Deutschlandlied”. The “Horst-Wessel-Lied” has been banned in Germany and Austria since the end of World War II.
