Funeral procession for Horst Wessel in the Juedenstasse, Berlin, 1930, (1938). Wessel (1907-1930) joined the Nazi party and the Sturmabteilung (SA) in 1926. He was shot by Albrecht Hoehler, a communist, on 14th January 1930, and died 6 weeks later. Posthumously he became a hero of the Nazi movement, remembered for the Horst Wessel Song, a fighting song he wrote in 1929, and commemorated with a monument erected by the Nazis at Berlin's Nikolaikirche after they came to power in 1933. Some 30,000 people lined the streets of Berlin to watch his funeral procession. From Geschichte der SA (History of the SA) by Wilhelm Rehm, published by Franz Eher Nachf, 1938.
