  • Hitler used to like russian music...

    a collection of his music from his bunker in Berlin was revealed by daughter of the soldier who's robbed it, after her father's death.
    It features Wagner, Beethoven, Brahms,
    but also Liszta - a hungarian. Perhaps most suprisings are Czajkowski, Borodin, Rachmaninow and Musorgski.
    One of the albums was Czajkowski played by Bronislaw Huberman, a polish violinist of jewish origin

    Germany yet haven't demanded return of these pieces of music.

    The Liszt guy was simply counted as German when the Nazis were in power (actually he is of Austrian descent, but born in the Hungarian part of Austria-Hungary). Part of his "Les Préludes" was seen as *the* "Nazi" music, used mainly to introduce the "Sondermeldungen" ("special report" or so) on radio that reported military victories.

    Of course he had nothing to do with it, given that he died during the 19th century....
