Adolph Hitler - (1889-1945)

Hitler was the founder and leader of National Socialism (Nazism), and German dictator, b.Braunau in Upper Austria.

he son of Alois Hitler (!"#$%!&'#), an Austrian customs official, Adolf Hitler dropped outof hih school, and after his mothers death in !&'$ mo*ed to +ienna. He twice failed theadmission eamination for the academ- of arts. His *icious anti%Semitism (perhapsinfluenced b- that of arl /ueer ) and political haranues dro*e man- ac0uaintancesawa-. 1n !&!# he settled in 2unich, and on the outbrea3 of 4orld 4ar 1 he 5oined the

Ba*arian arm-. 6urin the war he was assed and wounded7 a corporal, he recei*ed the1ron 8ross for bra*er-. he war hardened his etreme nationalism, and he blamed theGerman defeat on betra-al b- 9ews and 2arists. Upon his return to 2unich he 5oined ahandful of other nationalistic *eterans in the German 4or3ers part-.

1n !&:' the German 4or3ers part- was renamed the National Socialist German 4or3ers,or Nazi, part-7 in !&:! it was reoranized with Hitler as chairman. He made it aparamilitar- oranization and won the support of such prominent nationalists as ;ield2arshal /udendorff .

o Germans burdened b- reparations pa-ments to the *ictors of 4orld 4ar 1, andthreatened b- h-perinflation, political chaos, and a possible 8ommunist ta3eo*er, Hitler,

frenzied -et manetic, offered scapeoats and solutions. o the economicall- depressed hepromised to despoil =9ew financiers,> to wor3ers he promised securit-. He ained thefinancial support of ban3ers and industrialists with his *irulent anti%8ommunism andpromises to control trade unionism.

Hitler had a 3een and sinister insiht into mass ps-cholo-, and he was a master of intriueand maneu*er. After ac0uirin German citizenship throuh the state of Brunswic3, he ran inthe presidential elections of !:, losin to the popular war hero aul *on Hindenbur butstrenthenin his position b- falsel- promisin to support 8hancellor ;ranz *on apen ,who lifted the ban on the storm troops (9une, !:).

4hen the Nazis were elected the larest part- in the ?eichsta (9ul-, !:), Hindenburoffered Hitler a subordinate position in the cabinet. Hitler held out for the chief post and forsweepin powers. he chancellorship went instead to urt *on Schleicher , who resinedon 9an. :", !#. Amid collapsin parliamentar- o*ernment and pitched battles betweenNazis and 8ommunists, Hindenbur, on the urin of *on apen, called Hitler to bechancellor of a coalition cabinet, refusin him etraordinar- powers. Supported b- AlfredHuenber , Hitler too3 office on 9an. #'.

German-s new ruler was a master of 2achia*ellian politics. Hitler feared plots, and firml-belie*ed in his mission to achie*e the supremac- of the so%called Ar-an race, which hetermed the =master race.> Ha*in leall- come to power, he used brutalit- and sub*ersion to

carr- out a =creepin coup> to transform the state into his dictatorship. He blamed the8ommunists for a fire in the ?eichsta on ;eb. :$, and b- fannin anti%8ommunist h-steriathe Nazis and Nationalists won a bare ma5orit- of ?eichsta seats in the elections of 2ar. C.After the 8ommunists had been barred, and amid a displa- of storm trooper strenth, the?eichsta *oted to i*e Hitler dictatorial powers.

;rom the first da-s of Hitlers =hird ?eich> (for its histor-, see German- 7 NationalSocialism 7 4orld 4ar 11 ) political opponents such as *on Schleicher and Greor Strasser(who had resined from the Nazis) were murdered or incarcerated, and some Nazis, amonthem Drnst ?oehm , were themsel*es pured. 9ews, Socialists, 8ommunists, and otherswere hounded, arrested, or assassinated. Go*ernment, law, and education became

appendaes of National Socialism. After Hindenburs death in !E the chancellorship andpresidenc- were united in the person of the ;FFr @leader. Heil Hitler became theobliator- form of reetin, and a cult of ;FFr worship was propaated.

1n !", amid carefull- nurtured scandal, Hitler dismissed top arm- commanders anddi*ided their power between himself and faithful subordinates such as 4ilhelm eitel . AsHitler prepared for war he replaced professional diplomats with Nazis such as 9oachim *on?ibbentrop . 2an- former doubters had been con*erted b- Hitlers bold diplomatic coups,beinnin with German rearmament.

Hitlers nonaression pact (Au., !&) with Stalin allowed him to in*ade oland (Sept.!), beinnin 4orld 4ar 11, while Stalin anneed /at*ia, /ithuania, and Dstonia to theUSS? and attac3ed eastern oland7 but Hitler honored the pact onl- until he found itcon*enient to attac3 the USS?

As the tideof war turned aainst Hitler, his mass etermination of the 9ews, o*erseen b- AdolfDichmann , was accelerated, and he a*e increasin power to Heinrich Himmler and thedread secret police , the Gestapo and SS ( Schutzstaffel ).

B- 9ul-, !&EE, the German militar- situation was desperate, and a roup of hih militar-and ci*il officials (includin ;ield 2arshal Drwin *on 4itzleben and arl Goerdeler)attempted an assassination.

4e routinel- mo*e collections to ma3e better use of eistin space and to accommodatenew ac0uisitions, he said. A enteel man in his mid%fifties with a flawlessl- manicuredwhite beard, 4aer is a master of discretion. 4hen 1 as3ed about the Hitler collections newlocation, he replied, ;or securit- reasons we dont re*eal where collections are located inthe *ault. He is e0uall- circumspect about scholars who ha*e pre*iousl- studied the

collection, simpl- notin that the boo3s are re0uested onl- a few times each -ear, andenerall- b- people loo3in for specific *olumes rather than for an opportunit- to stud- thecollection as a whole.

Scholarl- nelect of the Hitler /ibrar- deri*es in ood part from an earl- misperceptionthat its historical or bioraphical importance was limited. Spotchec3s re*ealed little in thewa- of marinal notes, autoraphs, or other similar features of interest, an internal /ibrar-of 8onress re*iew determined in 9anuar- of !&C:. 1ndeed, it seems that most of the boo3sha*e ne*er been perused b- their owner. Gerhard 4einber, a leadin authorit- on theNazi era and one of the first scholars to eplore the collection, confirms this initialassessment. 1 was a newl- minted h.6., and this was m- first 5ob be-ond raduate

school, 4einber told me not lon ao. 1 was compilin information for the Guide to8aptured German 4ar 6ocuments.

he boo3s had onl- recentl- been uncrated, and 1 was intriued b- what 1 would findthere. o 4einbers disappointment, the Hitler /ibrar- appeared to consist mostl- ofpresentation copies from authors or publishers. here were few clues that man- of theseboo3s had been part of his personal librar-, and e*en less e*idence that he had read an- ofthem, 4einber sa-s.

1n :''' hilipp Gassert and 6aniel 2attern reached a similar conclusion. Beinnin in!&&C Gassert, an assistant professor of histor- at the Uni*ersit- of Heidelber, and 2attern,

the senior editor at the German Historical 1nstitute, in 4ashinton, 6.8., s-stematicall-re*iewed e*er- *olume in the collection. 1n the sprin of :''!

he Hitler /ibrar- pro*ides the first comprehensi*e road map throuh the collection, but attimes it leads readers astra-.

2ost sinificant is o*erloo3ed marinalia. 1n one reference 2attern and Gassert notecorrectl- that the Hitler /ibrar- contains two identical copies of aul de /aardes German

Dssa-s, but the- dont mention marinalia, despite the fact that in one *olume fift-%eihtpaes ha*e penciled intrusions the first on pae !J, the last on pae #$'. Gi*en that/aarde belons to a circle of nineteenth%centur- German nationalist writers who arebelie*ed to ha*e had a formati*e influence on Hitlers anti%Semitism, the mar3ed passaesare certainl- worth notin.

Sometimes writin alon the side of a pae is reconizabl- in Hitlers 5aed cursi*e hand.;or the most part, thouh, the marinalia are restricted to simple mar3ins whose commonauthorship is suested b- an intense *ertical line in the marin and double or tripleunderlinin in the tet, alwa-s in pencil7 1 found such mar3ins repeatedl- both in the/ibrar- of 8onress collection and in a cache of eiht- Hitler boo3s at Brown Uni*ersit-.

Hitlers handwritten speeches, preser*ed in the ;ederal German Archi*es, show an identicalpattern of mar3ins. 1n one anti%Semitic rant Hitler drew three lines under the wordslassen3ampf (class strule), 4eltherrschaft (world domination), and 6er 9ude als6i3tator (the 9ew as dictator)7 one can almost hear his fe*ered tones.

Hitlers habit of hihlihtin 3e- concepts and passaes is consonant with his theor- on theart of readin. 1n 8hapter wo of 2ein ampf he obser*ed,

A man who possesses the art of correct readin will, in stud-in an- boo3, maazine, orpamphlet, instincti*el- and immediatel- percei*e e*er-thin which in his opinion is worth

1n these marinalia one sees a man (who famousl- seemed ne*er to listen to an-one, forwhom con*ersation was little more than a torrent of monoloues) readin passaes,reflectin on them, and respondin with penciled dashes, dots, 0uestion mar3s, eclamationpoints, and underscorinsKintellectual footprints across the pae.

He didnt belie*e in an-thin but himself, 4einber told me last summer.2ost historians tend to aree.

Some non%historians, howe*er, ha*e different *iews. 1n the !&J's ;riedrich Heer, a

prominent and contro*ersial +iennese theoloian, identified Hitler as a misuidedAustrian 8atholic, a man whose faith was disastrousl- misplaced but ne*erthelesssincere. 1n a dense, $C'%pae treatise Heer saw Hitler the Austrian 8atholic at e*er- turnLthe nine%-ear%old choirbo- catchin his first limpse of a swasti3a in the coat of arms at the/ambach 2onaster-7 the beer%hall orator whose speeches resound with biblical allusions7the ;FFr of the ?eich who re%created the splendor of the 8atholic mass at the annualNurember rall-.

6r. Stein spent much of the war as a British secret aent, but before that time he was a

scholar who emplo-ed white maical means to clair*o-antl- in*estiate historical e*ents. 1twas his boo3 on the rail m-thos published in Stuttart in !&:" and titled The Ninth*entur$: ,orld Histor$ in the Light of the Hol$ railthat attracted ?a*enscroft to him.

The S#ear of Destin$focuses first on Hitlers lost -ears in +ienna from !&'& to !&!#.6urin that time, ?a*enscroft writes, 6r. Stein was pursuin his occult researches as astudent at the Uni*ersit- of +ienna and ettin to 3now Hitler, then a dropout li*in in aflophouse.

+ienna was durin Hitlers -ears there a *orte of modern thin3in. ;reud was in practice atBerasse7 /udwi 4ittenstein was in residence ponderin a*ant arde philosoph- and

his old blac3 maician, whose occult lode ?a*enscroft sa-s substituted the swasti3a forthe cross in per*ersion and the practice of medie*al thaumatur-, loo3ed li3e a wizard inflopp- cap and lon white beard. His lin3 to Hitler was alleedl- throuh an occultboo3seller, Drnst retzche, in whose shop the future ;uhrer found a second home.

1n the shop 6r. Stein found a cop- of 4olfram *on DschenbachsPar-ival, the medie*al

rail romance that 6r. Stein was himself researchin for his wor3 on the ninth centur-. 1nthe boo3s marins were handwritten annotations7 loo3in them o*er 6r.Stein wasfascinated and repelledL

hen he lanced at HitlerL

4alter Stein found he was not the onl- one mo*ed b- the siht of this historic spearhead.Adolf Hitler stood beside him, li3e a man in a trance, a man o*er whom some dreadfulmaic spell had been cast... he *er- space around him seemed enli*ened with some subtle

irradiation, a 3ind of hostl- ectoplasmic liht. His whole ph-sionom- and stanceappeared transformed as if some miht Spirit now inhabited his *er- soul, creatin withinand around him a 3ind of e*il transfiuration of its own nature and power.

/atter Hitler too3 6r. Stein up the 6anube to *isit his m-stic teacher, a rustic woodcutterand herbalist named Hans /odz who retained in his peasants blood the last traces of theata*istic clair*o-ance of the ancient Germanic tribes and who resembled a mischie*ous-et male*olent dwarf from the paes of Grimms ;air- ales or an illustration from a boo3on ancient Germanic fol3lore.!J he men too3 a swim in the ri*er at which 6r. Steinnoticed that Hitler had onl- one testicle.

1t was /odz, 6r.Stein learned, who had prepared for Hitler a pe-ote concoction thatafforded him ps-chedelic insiht into his past li*es. he pe-ote itself had come fromretzche, who had li*ed for a time in the German colon- in 2eico. Hitler had hoped thathis former eistences, *iewed in his dru trance, would include an earl- incarnation as apowerful eutonic ruler, but it was not to be.

Accordin to ?a*enscroft, Dc3art, li3e Hitler, first achie*ed transcendence throuhps-chedelic drus. ?esearch on pe-ote b- the German pharmacoloist /udwi /ewin had

been published in !""J, leadin to widespread popular eperimentation. /ater a heroinaddict, in earlier da-s Dc3art used pe-ote in the practice on neo% paan maic in Berlin. Hecame to belie*e that he, too was the reincarnation of ninth centur- character. 1n his case itwas Bernard of Barcelona, a notorious betra-er of 8hristianit- to the Arabs and a blac3maician who used thaumatur- to hold off 8arolinian armies in Spain.

?a*enscroft writes that Hitler had been prepared for satanic initiation b- his eperiences in

+ienna with pe-ote and with the spear and b- his mustard assin in !&!", which left himblind and in a state of enforced trance for se*eral da-s.

1t was from his studies of the power a*ailable to practitioners of such per*ersities thatDc3art de*ised the rituals he used when he opened the centers of Adolf Hitler to i*e him a

Not unnaturall- the 0uestion rises whether an- of The S#ear of Destin$is true. 1ts certainl-a reat stor-, one which ?a*enscroft elaborates with a lenth- in*estiation of Hitlers selife, in which he ma3es a case for associatin the reports of the ;uehrers missin testis tothe per*ersities resultin from /andulfs castration.

he problem lies with ?a*enscrofts primar- source, 6r. 4alter 9ohannes Stein. And theproblem with 6r.Stein is reall- two problemsL one his method of historical researchL andtwo, the fact that he is dead and unable to spea3 for himself.

Gi*en his method, of course, this second problem should not be insurmountable. Had we

the techni0ue, 6r. Stein could presumabl- *erif- each of ?a*enscrofts assertion for us frombe-ond the ra*e. ;or 6r.

4hats more ?a*enscroft re*eals in his introduction, 6r.Stein tauht the same techni0ues tohim.

1t is, howe*er, undeniabl- difficult, if not unprecedented, to footnote clair*o-ance. 4e ha*eto ta3e on faith that the The S#ear of Destin$is what 6r.Stein told ?a*enscroft. his is not

1n histor-, no fiure was more feared than the blac3 maician /andulph 11 of 8apua. He,too, was obsessed with the power of the Spear of 6estin-.

Hitler identified the similarities between 4aners character and the maician. He saw theirstrules as parallel to his own 0uest for the hol- icon.

o Hitler, the blood purit- of the Grail nihts and the maniacal 0uest of linsor and/andulph for the spear was the blueprint for world con0uest b- Nazi power.

Hitler belie*ed he would one da- fulfill a historic destin-. How he would do this was notclear until he was :!.

4hile in the Hapsbur reasure House in +ienna, Austria, Hitler heard the words which hesaid were to chane his whole life.

A museum tour uide stopped in front of a displa- of an ancient spear and told of a leendthat whoe*er possessed it would hold the destin- of the world.
