Marvin: I may be wrong, (and I usually am) but I believe you may be thinking of the German National Anthem, "Deutschland Ueber Alles". After the war, they deleted and banned one verse, (the very Nazi one) and retained the rest. I think the Horst Wessel Lied is still banned in Germany. It was when I was there in April/May of this year. Ralf At 11:47 PM 6/12/01 -0400, you wrote: > > The tune was the German national anthem, Wessel wrote one line that became > banned.
