Awake Goy Napoleon Bonaparte and Adolf Hitler had much in common. The first was of Tuscan (Italian) bloodline, yet he liberated, unified and led the French nation. The latter was of Austrian birth but freed, united and championed the German people. Napoleon put an end to French revolutionary abuses. Adolf Hitler brought an end to alien corruption and cruel deprivations following the ruinous victors’ terms inflicted upon Germany after World War One.
Both leaders were of humble origin, revolutionary zeal, courage beyond question, and rags to wreath military prowess. Multitudes adored them whilst the privileged classes, with their vested interests, trembled before these great Europeans. After their defeat in battle by the overwhelming might of the coalition ranged against them, Napoleon and Hitler were vilified and demonized.
Eroica and Siegfried’s Death and Funeral March
It is true to say that, when Ludwig van Beethoven was asked if he might be inspired to write a requiem for Bonaparte, he gruffly replied: “I have already composed the proper music for that catastrophe.”
Europe’s supreme composer was referring to the Second Movement of his Eroica (Heroic Symphony) 3rd Symphony. The honour was briefly removed when, upon hearing that Napoleon was to crown himself emperor, the extraordinary composer and pianist furiously scratched the name Bonaparte from the title of this orchestral work. However, Beethoven recanted. Three-months later he informed his publisher that the composition’s real title was and remained Bonaparte.
Napoleon Bonaparte was greatly admired by Adolf Hitler. Upon the surrender of Paris, the German visionary forbade the triumphant playing of the Paris Entry March. During his visit to The City of Light Adolf Hitler first paid homage at the Napoleonic Tomb. The two great leaders did however part company when it came to personal glorification. It is inconceivable that the Fuhrer would crown himself emperor.
Was Hitler Siegfried?
Hitler, throughout his life, was inspired by the orchestrations of Richard Wagner. Those familiar with both the German composer’s operatic sagas and the Fuhrer’s life are fascinated by the parallels drawn from the stories of these heroes of Germanic folk lore. Were these early manifestations translated through Wagner to be re-born through Adolf Hitler?
The Ring of the Nibelungen tells of the struggle between the Forces of Light led by Wotan, Brunhilde, Siegfried and Sigmunde against the bacillus of evil and darkness. These dark forces are the Nibelungen, swarthy misshapen hook-nosed dwarves who work disguised, dwell out of sight and steal the Rheingold (Germany’s wealth).
A Quirk of History
There is another quirk of Hitler history. Das Lied der Nibelungen is said to have been composed in the Kurnberg Castle set on the Danube Plain. The fortress’s imposing edifice is situated just a short country walk from the rural home of Hitler during his boyhood. It is not far distant from the grave of the German Chancellor’s parents. As a boy, the future Fuhrer with schoolbooks and pencils, walked in the shadows of the ramparts Kurnberg Castle.
Had Richard Wagner been asked if he was inspired to compose a funeral march for Adolf Hitler, who can doubt he would have immediately replied: “I have already done so: Siegfried’s Death and Funeral March.”
Tears of Inspiration
It is doubtful if there could be a more fitting funeral tribute for the German revolutionary and statesman. Intriguingly, we now know that the Wagnerian opera, Rienzi, The Last of the Tribunes, brought a youthful Adolf Hitler to tears of inspiration.
Little wonder that this wonderful and inspirational opera is airbrushed out of modern operatic events. Composed fifty years before the Fuhrer was born it maps out the Fuhrer’s life and mortal death in ways that can only be described as being of supernatural mystery. This opera is a most fitting operatic tribute to Adolf Hitler and for the funeral march of Adolf Hitler, the requiem Siegfried’s Death and Funeral March.
