Found an old Nazi book

Was walking along a street outside some apartments, and there was a bag of free stuff outside, including this:



I happen to have a German degree, just because my dad had studied German and I found his college German books interesting as a kid. So I can read German, and the old script. I recognized "Das Buch der NSDAP" as about Nazis, since NSDAP stands for Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei.

Published in 1934, shortly after Hitler gained power, it seems to be a history of the Nazi party from the Nazi point of view.



Having recently finished "The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich" by Shirer, pub 1960, this is timely for me. Now I can read their side of the story in the original German. I doubt I'll find anything really astonishing, but you never know.

I think it would be unhealthy to be too interested in the Nazis, but given how literally everyone who is not an extreme leftist is called a Nazi these days, I'd like to understand the real Nazi psychology better.

And it's kind of fun finding a book which is probably worth 100 Euros. Not in the best condition, but not terrible.

Doubt if you'll find much that isn't propaganda. Hitler went to great lengths to establish the legend of his ubermensch heritage (as opposed to illegitimate Rothschild). His feint at 'arresting Rothschilds' ("they were held in great comfort for two weeks then released") and the destruction of records in his town of origin were part of it. I think he even cleared the town and had the German military use it as target practice for bombs.

Yeah, don't be this guy:

I think the phrase "Don't kill the messenger" is lost upon the Jews, or at least the Holocaust for profit Zionists.

Ironic, since the National Socialists were leftists.

Hitler was very successful, he pulled Germany out of slavery and conquered most Europe (would have taken whole thing if he didn’t attack Russia).

It’s not bad to learn about what he did. I’m pretty sure much of today’s propaganda is based on theirs.

Is there any doubt? Propaganda is ascendant.

I haven't read Mein Kampf. Might be interesting though.

College roommate’s friend’s take on Hitler still makes me chuckle - He had some good ideas, just went a little too far.
