Afterword

FORWARD

I began my sentence in the Fortress of Landsberg on the Lech, April 1, 1924 resulting from my sentence handed down from the Munich People's Court.

For the first time in my years of uninterrupted Party work, I was finally able to begin a job that many had asked me to complete and one which I myself felt was useful for the Movement. I decided to write two volumes which would not only explain the aims of our Movement, but also would reveal the birth of the Movement. I believe my story will be more beneficial than a simple historical description.

This work will allow me to describe my own growth in the Movement and assist in crushing the falsehoods about me created by the Jewish press.

My writing is not for strangers, but for those heart-strong supporters of the Movement, and those whose minds need enlightenment.

I know that men are more rarely won over by the written word than they are by the spoken word and that every great movement in this world owes its growth to great speakers, not to great writers.

Still, writing is necessary to create a unified doctrine we can distribute. I must lay down its principles for all time. These two volumes, then, are meant to serve as stones which I hereby add to the foundation of the Movement.

Adolf Hitler The author Landsberg on the Lech Prison Fortress

On November 9, 1923 at 12:30 P. M., the following men who believed in the resurrection of their people, fell in front of the Field Marshall's Hall in Munich (Hitler dedicated the first volume to these men. They were the Nazi Party members who were shot and killed during the failed putsch [putsch means coup d'etat or government overthrow] of 1923 which resulted in Hitler's prison sentence):

Alfarth, Felix, Salesman, born July 5, 1901 Bauriedl, Andreas, Hatmaker, born May 4, 1879 Casella, Theodor, Bank Official, born August 8, 1900 Ehrlich, Wilhelm, Bank Official, born August 19, 1894 Faust, Martin, Bank Official, born January 27, 1901 Hechenberger, Ant., Locksmith, born September 28, 1902 Korner, Oskar, Salesman, born January 4, 1875 Kuhn, Karl, Headwaiter, born July 26, 1897 Laforce, Karl, Engineering Student, born October 28, 1904 Neubauer, Kurt, Servant, born March 27, 1899 Pape, Claus von, Salesman, born August 16, 1904 Pfordten, Theodor von der, Councilor of the Supreme Court(Munich), born May 14,

1873 Rickmers, Joh., Cavalry Master a.D.(Retired), born May 7, 1881 Scheubner-Richter, Max Erwin von, Doctor Engineering, born January 9, 1884 Stransky, Lorenz Ritter von, Engineer, born March 14, 1899 Wolf, Wilhelm, Salesman, born October 19, 1898

The so-called national, constitutional authorities refused these dead heroes a proper burial ceremony.

Therefore, I dedicate to their common memory the first volume of this work, for their martyrdom shall shine forever on our Movement.

Landsberg on the Lech, Prison Fortress, October 16, 1924.

Adolf Hitler
