Perfect example of a rotten, lying, inaccurate anti-Hitler book by a very prestigious author

“I think that he [Adolf Hitler] is primarily a dreamer, a visionary. His mind, nurtured by the other-worldness of the Alpine scenery round his mountain retreat of Berchtesgaden, runs to visions; and I have heard his intimates say that, even in cabinet meetings when vital questions of policy are being discussed, he is dreaming ” thinking of the light that never was on sea or land, the consecration and the poet’s dream. ¦He is so transparently honest when he is weaving visions of his own creation that nobody can doubt him. He is ready, like a medieval saint, to go through fire and water for his beliefs ¦ He sees himself as a crusader; he thinks the whole time of saving mankind. That is why he reaches such a stage of mystical exaltation when he talks about saving the world from Bolshevism. It is the old Siegfried complex once again. Just as the young German knight of old went out into the dim, dark forests to kill dragons, so he goes out to exterminate Bolshevism.” “ Sir Stephen Henry Roberts, Australian author and academic

The quote above is found on pages 7 and 8.

The book actually mocks Hitler as a weirdo at the start, likely because otherwise the author would never have gotten a publisher, or he would have gotten into hot water, and contains endless inaccurate details.

On page 7 he claims that Pasewalk Hospital is in Bavaria, but it is actually near Berlin — quite the error, comparable to saying Boston is down in Texas, or Edinburgh (Scotland) in Cornwall!

I added a dot to show where Bavaria is.

John de NugentInteresting quote: “he is transparently honest. He believes what he is saying, and throws every ounce of nervous energy into all that he says or does, even when he is answering the most casual question (this stands out as my keenest impression when I spoke to him in the Deutscher Hof). Nobody can doubt his utter sincerity. He cannot help himself ; he cannot restrain himself. He is completely absorbed in the statement or policy of the moment. That explains why he carries the crowds with him ” because he believes so utterly, so appallingly, in what he is saying.”

John de Nugent Unbelievable lie on page 21: ” Even in his agitating days he would never open a book. His personal room at the Brown House had no books, and none of the pictures taken at his chalet show any. It is doubtful if he has ever made a serious study of historical or philosophical works.”

My God! Adolf Hitler read books constantly!  He had two libraries — containing sixteen thousand books!

August Kubizek [Hitler’s teenage friend in Linz and Vienna, Austria) once wrote:

“I just can’t imagine Adolf without books. He had them piled up around him at home. He always had a book with him wherever he went.” Kubizek, Hitler’s only real friend in his teenage years, recalled after the war that Hitler had been registered with three libraries in Linz, where he attended school, and had passed endless days in the baroque splendor of the Hofbibliothek, the former court library of the Hapsburgs, during his time in Vienna. “Bücher waren seine Welt,” Kubizek wrote. “Books were his world.”

Though Kubizek’s reminiscences, first published in the 1950s, are in many ways suspect, his depiction of the future Führer as a bibliophile has been amply corroborated.

One of Hitler’s first cousins, Johann Schmidt, recounted for a Nazi Party history of the Führer that when Hitler spent summers with relatives in the tiny Waldviertel hamlet of Spital, he invariably arrived with “lots of books in which he was constantly busy reading and working.” Hans Frank, Hitler’s personal lawyer and the “governor” of Nazi-occupied Poland, recalled before his 1946 execution at Nuremberg that Hitler carried a copy of Schopenhauer’s The World as Will and Representation with him throughout World War I.

During his incarceration after the failed 1923 Munich putsch, Hitler was regularly supplied with reading materials by friends and associates. He once referred to his time in Landsberg Prison as his “university paid for by the state.”

During a bout of prison blues in December of 1924 he received a package from Winifred Wagner, the daughter-in-law of the composer Richard Wagner and one of the few people who addressed Hitler with the familiar du. It contained a book of Goethe’s poetry from the Wagner family library. The 358-page volume, now at the Library of Congress, contains meditative classics such as “Across All Peaks” and “Evening Song,” accompanied by handsome full-page pen-and-ink drawings. The inside cover bears a handwritten inscription:

“Adolf Hitler, this picture book taken from the book garden of Eva Chamberlain, for your enjoyment in serious lonely hours!
Bayreuth, Christmas 1924.”

Books seem to have been the gift of choice for Hitler on virtually every occasion.

The biggest and most ludicrous flaw in  books like Stephens’ (or in the stupid movie “Downfall”) is they show Hitler as an overtly weird, screaming little nut. How on earth could such an obnoxious twit ever be elected chancellor of a major country, and gain the respect of the hard-nosed, and relatively very intelligent German people?

….What we really need is THIS “mystery” book

 

There was a wonderful book ” A [or” My “] Year in Germany ” by a British trade unionist who came out in England around 1936. This book needs to be reissued and also come out in German and other leading languages! It showed how German workers under national socialism were honored, happy and prosperous!

This book is so dangerous that it has been totally delisted, flushed down the Memory Hole. It is potentially as advantageous for NS as when Lloyd George and the ex-King visited Germany, or the Berlin Olympics. It proves German workers under Hitler were 1) very happy and 2) not obsessed with Jews at all, just wanting peace and some prosperity.

This British labor leader was honestly surprised at the overwhelmingly positive situation in the “new Germany”, where, to his surprise, the workers were not at all “oppressed and exploited.” I am sure the British copyright has expired, the book is fantastic, but I can find it nowhere — nowhere at all!!

I read it over the course of four afternoons in the Reading Room of the Boston Public Library.


My former employer, publisher Willis Carto, unfortunately showed no interest in it.

Now that I am away from Boston, I cannot locate this book online anywhere, nor even the author’s name. Since he was a leftist and an Englishman, and was very skeptical at first toward AH, this book has the highest credibility.

It is, so to speak, the book counterpart to Lloyd George’s visit to Hitler in Berchtesgaden.

He lived in the Third Reich for a whole year, and talked daily with the workers, visited their factories, talked to SA men, etc.

As these photos suggest, the workers loved the man.

  1. Ja die Menschen waren glücklich. Und wieso?

    Weil Leute wie Michel Friedman, Cohn-Bandit, Edathy und Volker Beck damals nicht frei herumliefen. Die hätten dort von morgens bis abends im Lager Steine geklopft anstatt Kinder zu schänden.

    Deswegen hassen sie IHN.

    ER hatte recht.
