Summary

Hitler's magnum opus is as unread as it is infamous. While billions of words have been spilled on the subject of Hitler and his intentions, few have ever bothered to read the words of the man himself. The shrill consistency of the winners who wrote history is evidence of hegemonic conditioning. That consistency is only matched by the consistency of Hitler himself. Over the following two decades, his actions remained true to the words written circa 192426. To understand whether Hitler was a demon, a hero, or something else altogether, it is necessary to compare his actions to the words written in this book.

Foreword

On November 9, 1923, at 12:30 in the afternoon, in front of the Feldherrnhalle as well as in the courtyard of the former War Ministry the following men fell, with loyal faith in the resurrection of their people:

Alfarth, Felix, businessman, b. July 5, 1901 Bauriedl, Andreas, hatter, b. May 4, 1879 Casella, Theodor, bank clerk, a. August 8, 1900 Ehrlich, Wilhelm, bank clerk, b. August 19, 1894 Faust, Martin, bank clerk, b. January 27, 1901 Hechenberger, Anton, locksmith, b. September 28, 1902 Korner, Oskar, businessman, b. January 4, 1875 Kuhn, Karl, headwaiter, b. July 26, 1897 LaForce, Karl, student of engineering, b. October 28, 1904 Neubauer, Kurt, valet, b. March 27, 1899 Pape, Claus Von, businessman, b. August 1, 1904 Pfordten, Theodor Son Der, county court councillor, b. May 14, 1873 Rickmers, Johann, retired cavalry captain, b. May 7, 1881 ScheubnerRichter, Max Erwin Von, doctor of engineering, b. January 9, 1884 Stransky, Lorenz, Ritter Von, engineer, b. March 14, 1889 Wolf, Wilhelm, businessman, a. October 19, 1898

Socalled national authorities denied these dead heroes a common grave.

Therefore I dedicate to them, for common memory, the first volume of this work. As its blood witnesses, may they shine forever, a glowing example to the followers of our movement.
