After a long time, I remembered to play this big hit from 1933, which is almost forgotten today. The song was made by hitmakers Becce & Knorr, originally for the film "Der Rebell", which was released in December 1932. Naturally, the song title - "Our time has finally come" - very much suited the Nazis, who came to power a month later.
A "Brillant" (Tono) recording by Paul Dorn and Richard Forst's Dance Band.
Cheers,

Der Rebell: Uns're Zeit ist endlich gekommen
Re:
Some of the record labels (note: all known recordings of the song were made in 1933)
Possibly the rarest release of the song: a performance by Johannes Fuhsel's SA band on a "Naziton" picture disc.

This one is actually Hakenkreuz-Platte 2038 with a "Brillant-Special" label covering the original swastika label and with a "Record" half-label covering the upper part of the "Brillant-Special" label (so: two and a half labels on one side of the record!).Possibly the rarest release of the song: a performance by Johannes Fuhsel's SA band on a "Naziton" picture disc.

Re:
The patriotic, freedom-fighting lyrics also nicely matched the usual Nazi slogans

Reminder: one of the very next films that the composer Becce composed music for was "Hans Westmar" (Horst Wessel).
