Answer
Strauss served as the president of the Reichsmusikkammer, an organization established by the Nazi regime to control and regulate the music industry in Germany. He used his position to promote German nationalism and antisemitism, ensuring that only "approved" music and musicians were allowed to perform. This contributed to the suppression of many talented artists and the marginalization of Jewish musicians during the Nazi era.
