Song Card- Horst Wessel in nice condition

[johnschou]

I have just got hold of this Song Card- Horst Wessel in nice condition, just to share. But If anyone has more info please write. The card has no year etc, so I don't know when it could have been issued ?

Original Nazi propaganda card (Liederkarte) from the second World War II, with the text of "Horst-Wessel-Lied" (Die Fahne Hoch). The song is written by martyr SA-Sturm Fuhrer Horst Wessel, and was the official anthem of the Nazi Party. The card has moisture stains front and rear
Many Germans began to name their boys after the Nazi hero Horst Wessel - in 1930 it was the third most popular name. Wessel had been killed by the communists in 1930, and the Nazi top worshiped him afterwards as a martyr. For instance, Wessel song "Die Fahne Hoch" became the Nazi Party's official anthem.

The one on MAR seems a bit on the expensive side!....

Yes too expensive by my opinion, I paid about 10 Euro for my card. :-)
