| Yah, das Jazz was dangerous to the Reich's racial supremacy policies. Wah-wah's and plungers were not the usual ornaments that herr Wagner used so they are bad. Adolph seemed to prefer German only music (what a surprise) as it fit his vision of ceremony and flair for the dramatics.
The old newsreels would have been a whole lot different if they showed the famous Nuremberg gathering with Armstrong's West End Blues being played....might have loosened up that goose-step. As it turned out the use of the heavy music should have been a warning to the rest of the world as to how Adolph thought and his mechanisms to influence.
Any more historical insights from the materials you found?
