In my new novel the flames of a great funeral pyre rise to engulf the body of the SS Officer as the sounds of Richard Wagner's Ride of the Valkyries pours from the loudspeakers.
It is indeed true that Richard Wagner and Wagnerian Opera were favorites of Adolph Hitler and many Nazis. As I dig back into the roots of Nazism, I'm going to explore the place that music and particularly Wagner's music played in the rise of the Nazis to power.
