Page says 1927, but song was first published in 1929. The writer of the lyrics died in 1930. I believe that this means the work is still in copyright Beyond My Ken (talk) 20:26, 5 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I believe this songbook isn't copyrighted after all, but any anonymous book publishers may be apply after 70 years after it's publication. --ZmeytheDragon16 (talk) 21:40, 5 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
It doesn't matter if the specific songbook it came from is copyrighted or not, the song was published in 1929 and the words for it were copyrighted at the time of publication. (The music is traditional.) Beyond My Ken (talk) 21:58, 5 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
The English (en:Horst-Wessel-Lied#Lyrics) and German (de:Horst-Wessel-Lied#Text des Liedes) Wikipedia articles have no qualms in showing the lyrics. -- Michael Bednarek (talk) 05:51, 6 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Probably it was published from the 1930s, but also from the Anonymous printer. --ZmeytheDragon16 (talk) 05:34, 8 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Deleted: Exact publication date is unclear, but it's after 1925. If the author died in 1930, which seems likely, it became free in Germany in 2000, after the 1996 URAA date. Copyright will expire in the US 95 years from publication. --AntiCompositeNumber (talk) 03:50, 13 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
