I think you seriously over-estimate the level of tolerance of Nazi Germany. The Nazis persecuted Degenerate Music just like they persecuted Degenerate Art.

I'm not saying that Nazi Germany didn't ban music, they absolutely did ban entire genres of music as well as many composers. But they didn't ban music based on its basic qualities like tempo.
