German composer Carl Orff's "O Fortuna" has become a staple of western popular culture. It's been used in Excalibur, Detroit Rock City, and The Doors. The New England Patriots and Milwaukee Brewers have incorporated it into their games. Orff himself was a Nazi favorite. However, he also had ties to the resistance movement. The true level of Orff's complicity with or opposition to Nazi Germany is a matter of great debate.
