Hitler considered himself the main character of the Wagner opera Rienzi, which was based on the life of Cola di Rienzo called Rienzi.

Names such as“Nacht und Nebel” "Night and Fog" from Wagner's opera Rheingold were also used by Himmler as code names for the deportations of Jews to concentration camps, and the deportations were given the nickname NN standing for “Nacht und Nebel”.
