Is the fan-fare that's playing in 'Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade' when Indy bumps into Hitler an actual Nazi anthem? Or was it made up for the movie?

Neither.

It's John Williams' arrangement of the Königgrätzer Marsch, a march which, while it was indeed favored by the Nazis, actually dates back to 1866.
