ChuckM 1 Posted October 6, 2007 Share Posted October 6, 2007 Did JW compose the Nazi March in The Last Crusade, or is an actual German March? And if it is an actual German March, what's its name and who composed it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indy4 152 Posted October 6, 2007 Share Posted October 6, 2007 It sounds too sinister and evil for the Germans to write it about themselves.EDIT: wait, are you talking about the part when Indy gets his book signed by Hitler, because that would make more sense.

Mr. Breathmask 480 Posted October 6, 2007 Share Posted October 6, 2007 If you're referring to the music played at the book burning, no, John Williams did not compose it. I believe it is a piece called Der Koniggrätzer (sp?). It's an old German piece. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wycket 36 Posted October 7, 2007 Share Posted October 7, 2007 Anyone who has seen Triumph of the Will will know that that piece predates Williams (at least his professional career). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Datameister 1,394 Posted October 7, 2007 Share Posted October 7, 2007 How can such a fun piece have been written for something so evil? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red 73 Posted October 7, 2007 Share Posted October 7, 2007 Because it was written by the evil, who didn't know (or accept) that they were. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indiana_Fett 0 Posted October 7, 2007 Share Posted October 7, 2007 How can such a fun piece have been written for something so evil? The composer of the piece was long dead before the Nazi party even came to existence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
