Apple has removed the anthem of the Nazi Party from the German iTunes online music store.
The company on Jan. 26 removed the German marching song “Horst Wessel Lied,” the unofficial Nazi anthem, which was banned in Germany after World War II. A German newspaper in Hanover originally reported it was on sale online.
Amazon reportedly also removed the song from its songs available for download, according to the German online magazine Chip.
It is not the first time that Nazi songs have been available from the German iTunes, according to reports. — jta
