Original Note:
Erika is a German pre-WWII song. Its popularity precedes WWII, and its date of composition is thought to be in the 1930s. In contrast to Nazi songs like Horst Wessel Lied, Erika is about love, flowers, and home. Unlike Horst Wessel Lied, Erika is not illegal in Germany. https://www.german-way.com/two-songs-two-flowers-edelweiss-and-erika/ https://nypost.com/2023/09/28/video-shows-oktoberfest-revelers-giving-nazi-salute-in-germany/#:~:text=Offenders%20could%20be%20sentenced%20to,multiple%20military%20songs%20and%20marches. https://www.reuters.com/article/idUSTRE70P7EL/
