Or is Charlie Kirk the new Horst Wessell?
Horst Wessel (born September 9, 1907, Bielefeld, Germanydied February 23, 1930, Berlin) was a martyr of the German Nazi movement, celebrated in the song "Horst Wessel Lied," which was adopted as an anthem by Nazi Germany.
A perennial student and low-life bohemian, Wessel joined the Nazi Party in 1926 and became a member of the SA (Storm Troopers). In 1930 political enemies, possibly Communists, killed him in a brawl in his room in the Berlin slums. Nazi propagandists, led by Joseph Goebbels, elevated him to martyrdom.
