Don't forget before the nazis, Wagner already had the dubious distinction of winding up as the musical score for Birth of a Nation, lol. For somebody who was purportedly no more racist than the next guy, it's pretty funny how many times his stuff coincidentally wound up being used as racist propaganda. He died too early compared to his work being co-opted to have had any say in it, I don't actually believe he had anything to do with it. Just kind of funny, even dead, the guy can't catch a break.
