      It originally was a poem from around the 1500s, but was fully adopted into a song by a future Nazi. However both leftists and rightists adopted it, due to its revolutionary lyrics, either labor or nation-people type.
      At the end of the day I'd say that the song is first and foremost, a German one, regardless of who used it. It's very reflective of the country's history of war and trying to make a mark for itself.

    Funnily, the song, being composed in 1920 (and even though I know it relates to the old medieval times and not 1920 itself), the grandchildren mentioned would be in a divided capitalist-communist Germany, to "put up a better fight". Kind of a funny prediction, to some extent.

      Schutzstaffel wasn't the combat branch of the party it was the Waffen SS and it was under the OKW during war time. Nationale Volksarmee didn't commit genocide as it had no chance to fortunately. Though the Stasi could be blamed for genocide and anti-jewish progroms just like the Soviet Union@@MotzKotz3

      The rainbow stands for the alliance between God and humanity, while the text reads "the Word of the Lord endures forever, which is the sign of the eternal covenant of God".
      That's pretty easy to pick up if you actually listen to the song instead of focusing on your fantasies of saving the world from the gays
