The speaker had held “a very beautiful, clear and temperamental lecture on” a talk “about capitalism, grazed in the process, the Jewish question,” reads an internal report of the Reichswehr in Munich from 26. August 1919. The observer had to listen to the second recorded speech of a man that was supposed to mobilize soon because of his speaking talents to the masses.

No word on Bolshevism

He gave this alleged Jewish danger but also an anti-capitalist direction, when he spoke of the “dance around the Golden calf” and the “Power” and the Majesty of the money”. About communism, Bolshevism and the Soviet Union, Hitler lost at the time – two years after the Bolshevik October revolution – not a word.

Recently, the historian Thomas Weber has published a new source to the backgrounds of Hitler’s anti-Semitism, which dates back to the years 1912 or 1913, and thus from a yet earlier time than the earliest regarded source, the Simms cited. Can this new source, Comments from the daughter of Hitler’s former Munich-based owners, not quoted, because his book was already in print, as a weaver, she has published, is not so bad, because it supports his arguments with regard to the first time of Hitler’s political activity. Even then, Hitler brought together “the Jews” with the goings-on at the Vienna stock exchange.

  • even before the first world war: Hitler’s hatred of Jews is older than assumed

, nor the Bolsheviks, his main enemies

Simms were Jews at the beginning, the quoted speech is a clear indication that Hitler saw from the outset, the Jews and the Bolsheviks as the main enemy. The history Professor of the University of Cambridge, believes, at the heart of Hitler’s Thinking had been from the beginning and continuously up to its end of another danger: the great Power of England, and especially in the United States.

Since Hitler, as a simple soldier in the First world war, against the Americans and English fought, and since he had met the seemingly infinite economic power of the United States, he had become their enemy. With far-reaching consequences: “in fact, he was Semitic, for the large part because of his animosity to the anglo-American powers to the anti -,” says Simms. Hitler himself had made in a speech from the beginning of January 1920 clear when he said: “We fight the Jews, because he prevented the struggle against capitalism”.

Bolshevism was Hitler an Instrument of capitalism

even More, “Judaism” was, for Hitler is synonymous with capitalism. Bolshevism was Hitler, Simms, merely an Instrument of capitalism. For him, the same circuit have: a democracy is equal to considered synonymous with capitalism, and this is, again, synonymous with the reign of the Jews. So he called for example the stock market in New York’s wall street, the “center of the world Jewry.”

Bolshevism should weaken economies, therefore, on behalf of the Jewish, anglo-American capitalism, the people, to you storm, ready to shoot for the Takeover by the capitalist System.

“National” and “social” were, from Hitler’s point of view, identical concepts

Hitler saw themselves as a socialist who wanted to nationalize German industry, he championed the national variant of socialism, not international communism, which he refused sharply. “National” and “social” were, in his view, identical concepts, so Simms. It is therefore no wonder that the German Industrialists rejected it strictly.

the Ruhr industrialist Paul Reusch remarked that they had no reason whatsoever “to support our own gravediggers”. That changed only when Hitler pushed for the socialist forces in his party stronger back, because he realized how harmful their influence was, when it came to the Collection of donations.

Hitler’s attitude towards “Anglo-America”, i.e. the British Empire and the United States, consisted of a mixture of admiration and rejection. He admired the British as the actually “better” because racially “purer” Germanic tribes and the United States because of their impressive economic performance. The basis for their economy, of all things, German placed have power, however, – namely, the German emigration in the 19th century. A century ago, the social injustices at home in the USA as the Land of undreamt-of possibilities had fled.

admiration and rejection

Bitter Hitler complained during the war that these lost German sons returned in their original homeland – as enemies. And he believed that Nazi Germany would, however, fought with German weapons.

He championed the idea to move with an advertising program, the descendants of German immigrants returning to the homeland of their ancestors, because he hoped to uplift the race and a strengthening of the economy. However, such approaches are suggested as well fail like the Attempts of SS chief Heinrich Himmler, in the captured set of German camps firmly to convince burly soldiers from the United States to switch sides. The men were better in captivity than to fight for the Nazis.

Simms is able to track such lines of Thought and Utterances of Hitler, in fact, until the end of the “leader”. And his theories have, what of Hitler, relates to the beginning of time, actually some of it for themselves. The further he progresses in time in his book, which actually is not a biography in the classic sense, the holey and soft they are.

This is because Simms is shown in any way flexible. He don’t want to go the way of his theories pretend to Hitler’s end in the führer’s bunker in April 1945, without looking to the left and to the right. So he can’t admit that there was in Hitler’s Thinking shifts, the change in the ranking of identified hazards.

again and again, Simms emphasizes the alleged priority of Hitler’s hatred of England and the US

This is a shame, because he but, finally, even more so in this inflexible reasoning, the more the time of the third Reich and the Second world war is progressing. Again and again he stresses the alleged priority of Hitler’s hatred of England and the United States, Yes, at least for England, is also an expression of disappointed love was, compared to the hatred of Jews and Bolshevism.

Hitler’s demand for “Lebensraum” for the Germans in the Soviet Union and the attack on the Red army of 22. June 1941 had been justified in his fear of the Power of Anglo-America. Hitler and the third Reich had also been no response to the Russian Revolution, but a response to the domination of Anglo-America and of global capitalism. At the end of Simms but not to the Thesis: “The Holocaust was not a distorted copy of Stalin’s Great Terror, but a pre-emptive strike against Roosevelt’s America”.
