Nazism
"National Socialism derives from each of the two camps the pure idea that characterizes it, national resolution from bourgeois tradition; vital, creative socialism from the teaching of Marxism."
National Socialism, most commonly known as
Nazism and also known as
Hitlerism, is a
totalitarian,
Ethnoultranationalist,
third positionist and
imperialist ideology which originated in
Germany in the 20th century. Nazism is largely associated with
Adolf Hitler and the Nazi Party, which ruled Germany from 1933 to 1945.
Nazism believes that the state and, as an extension of it, society, should be based on the ideal of the
Volksgemeinschaft (translated as 'folk, racial, or people's community'), which is a national community of sorts based on a shared ancestry, blood, or culture among a group of people, and that the state should serve the interests of the Volksgemeinschaft whereever possible. To protect the Volksgemeinschaft and to ensure its stability and effective governance, Nazism calls for a strong, often totalitarian state with a singular
leader considered as embodying the state and the Volksgemeinschaft.
Nazism opposes Communism and class-struggle, instead believing that through the Volksgemeinschaft the interests of the
bourgeoisie and
workers can be harmonized, a form of
corporatism, with some elements of
national syndicalism as well. Outside of this, Nazism has very few economic principles that are independent from the ideal of the Volksgemeinschaft. While it does not refute private property and wishes in many circumstances to keep industry as private as possible, Nazism also believes that ultimately the property of all citizens belongs to the Volksgemeinschaft and that, subsequently, if the interests of the Volksgemeinschaft call for the seizure or nationalization of property, Nazism will do that.
Nazism believes fervently in racial purity and a racial hierarchy, though that is prone often to pragmatic and often contradictory changes. Groups which the Nazis consider as subhumans often included Jews,
Slavs,
Romani,
Africans, the disabled, and others. Nazism believes that Jews are behind the supposed degeneration and destruction of the nation and behind ideologies that he opposes such as
"Judeo-Bolshevism",
liberalism,
"Judeo-Capitalism"
globalism and
democracy. It was because of this belief in the racial inferiority of groups like the Jews and Slavs that Nazism, in control of Germany, started World War II and killed anywhere from 11 to 17 million people (including deaths from the genocide of Jews in the Holocaust).
After the end of Nazi rule in Germany, Nazism was reduced to a fringe movement which now manifests itself as Neo-Nazism, a loosely connected movement with various beliefs, but which commonly manifests as a belief in
White supremacy and hatred towards Jews, blacks, and other groups considered to be inferior.
History
Foundations
Nazism has its roots in various traditions of the German far-right and debatably even parts of the centre and left. Its largest influence comes from the traditions of Volkism and German Socialism, which emerged in the 19th century.
The "German Socialists", who co-existed with the Marxists and other socialists in the 19th century, were a group of (initially) reactionary philosophers, who distinguished themselves from many other movements by claiming to represent not a single class, but human nature and Man himself. These German socialists were against bourgeois competition and freedom of the press against bourgeois liberty and equality. They proclaimed the German nation to be the model nation and highlighted the German merchant: the petit bourgeoisie, as the 'model man'. During the rise of the bourgeois class to economic dominance and power throughout the 19th century, this movement shifted away from the reactionary elements of the old aristocracy and firmly moved itself as a movement of the bourgeoisie and petit bourgeoisie.
From there, the German Socialist movement increasingly began to merge with the Volkist movement, an ethno-nationalist movement that began as a reaction of the failure of the Prussian state to unify all the German-speaking peoples under a singular German Reich. The Volkists were romanticists; esoterics who idolized the history of the Holy Roman Empire and mystified the German people's past. The idea of the German Socialists, which was to represent Man regardless of class, merged with the Volkist cause to unite the German people and to do away with social categories. Paul de Lagarde and Julius Langbehn emerged as key philosophers of the Volkist movement, both of whom would go on to heavily influence Nazism.
Langbehn strongly opposed rationality, materialism, liberalism, and cosmopolitanism as manifestations of degeneracy, for which he blamed the Enlightenment and urbanization. He thus proposed that Germany and its people should move away from the "Slavic, French, Jewish-dominated Prussia" and towards a more Germanic character, a "highly intense inwardness". Likewise, de Lagarde was an aggressive antisemite and anti-Slavist, who advocated against Christianity and for a German colonial empire not overseas but in Europe; particularly in eastern Europe. Lagarde envisioned a German-dominated Europe that "reaches from the Ems to the mouth of the Danube, from the Neman to Trieste, from Metz to about the Bug". This idea of "Drang nach Osten" would heavily influence Nazi ideals of Lebensraum. Lagarde would also influence Nazism through his promotion of a proto-Führer principle, where an emperor endowed with 'the attributes of Luther and
Frederick Barbarossa' would be both an enlightened legislator and "Führer of the people".
By the late 19th century, the German socialist movement and the Volkist movements had heavily merged into one another. This movement would go on to become heavily influential in the politics of the Austrian and German Empires in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Volkism would reach its apex during World War I, with what it considered the emergence of the German Volksgemeinschaft; the people's (racial) community, the unity of the German people regardless of class or status behind the German war effort, where all classes would work together and live harmoniously to work for the nation. The idea of the Volksgemeinschaft would strongly influence Nazi ideology, and debatably be the core of its ideology.
Origins
The outbreak of World War I and the instability that resulted from it and the following years led to a complicated and charged political environment which led to the rise of Volkist and other nationalist groups, many of whom primarily emerged in opposition to the Social Democrats (SPD) and Communists.
In September 1917 during the later stages of the War the German Fatherland Party (DVLP) was formed as a reaction to the Reichstag Peace Resolution, which attempted to reconcile the traditional German "right" with the new militant nationalist right: among the most influential groups were the antisemites, pan-Germans and Volkists, all of whom would go on later to found various political parties to succeed the DVLP when it dissolved following the German revolution in 1918. Among the members of these groups was Anton Drexler, a railway worker from Munich. Drexler had joined the DVLP when it was new in 1917, and supported the party through the creation of various groups, culminating with the founding of the German Workers' Party (DAP) together with his colleagues Karl Harrer, Dietrich Eckart, and Gottfried Feder. From the beginning, the DAP had little support outside of the small circle Drexler had created for himself during the war: meetings and speeches given often triggered little, if any, enthusiasm and were often drowned out by the background noise in the restaurants their meetings were held in.
This would be changed decisively with Adolf Hitler's introduction to and membership in the DAP. At the time, Hitler had been working as an agent of the Propaganda Department of the Reichswehr, and acted as an informant for the government in meetings of the various political parties founded in Munich at the time: one of these parties of course was the DAP. Hitler became prominent in the party after he passionately spoke out against the proposed secession of Bavaria from Germany, and after recognizing his oratory skills, Drexler invited Hitler to join the DAP.
Hitler's insistence that the DAP shift itself towards a 'party of the masses' rather than a small, almost 'secret society', combined with his oratory skills, led to the rapid growth not only of his popularity but of the DAP as well. In his first ever official public speech for the party, he drew a crowd of 111: impressed by his results, he was made the party's head of propaganda. Through his influence and popularity, he was able to largely sideline Drexler and other members of the party: as he was responsible for the organization of party events and the party's public relation work, he was able to influence party policy greatly. His position led him to become de-facto one of the leaders of the party, and his influence only continued to grow into 1920.
Consolidation & Rise To Power
The early years of the Nazi Party were marked by internal conflict and the rise of Adolf Hitler from de-facto leader, to leader, to undisputed hegemon of the entire party apparatus. The Munich branch of the party demanded that the Nazis merge with their rivals, the German Socialist Party. In response, Hitler threatened to leave the party, unless this demand was withdrawn and he would replace Drexler as Chairman. Hitler consequentially consolidated power throughout the rest of the 1920s until he became the rigid head of a heavily centralized top-down movement where his word was above any constitution or written word in the party.
Wishing to emulate the success of the Italian Fascists in their March on Rome, Hitler led the Nazi Party on a march on Munich in an attempt to overthrow the Bavarian government and, consequentially, inspire the Reichswehr to mutiny against the German government. They did not. Consequentially Hitler was thrown in jail, though his sentence was short. The Nazi Party was for a brief moment banned, and the brief fragmentation this caused the movement resulted in the left-wing of the movement to rise to prominence. After Hitler's release from prison and the re-legalization of the Nazi Party, Hitler moved his attention towards reconsolidating all power in the party around himself over attempting to increase the party's electorability; consequentially in the first election after Hitler's release, the party received a little over 900,000 votes, in comparison with their nearly 2 million votes in the previous election in May.
After Hitler consolidated power around himself, he moved his attention towards utilizing the political empire that the likes of the Strasser brothers had established for him. This came to a head after the Great Depression and the subsequent financial crisis in Germany, which the Nazis gleefully took advantage of to sway middle-class businessmen and other people affected by the crisis to their party. Such was the electoral success that the Nazi Party went from a fringe party of 12 members in the Reichstag to the second largest party in the Reichstag. Political successes would continue into 1932 (though the Nazis did lose a portion of their support base in the November 1932 elections), with the Nazis becoming the largest party in the Reichstag. Hitler's popularity resulted in him running for German President against Paul von Hindenburg; while he did lose the elections, he won over 13 million votes and won in various constituencies.
At the same time, the Nazi party and Communist party grew in popularity and in power, at the expense of the parties of the center. By late 1932, the two parties had become so dominant that it was simply not possible to form a majority government without their support. With the failure of the Schleicher chancellorship, Hindenburg appointed Hitler as Chancellor in 1933.
Hitler seized the opportunity presented by the Reichstag Fire to point fingers at his political opponents, such as the Communist Party. Through alliance with various nationalist and conservative movements in the Reichstag, the Nazis rallied for the banning of the Communist Party a day after the March 1933 elections. Later that month, Hitler; or more accurately the cabinet of the Chancellor, the power to make and enforce laws without the permission or involvement of either the Reichstag or the President. As the cabinet in question was already composed mostly, if not entirely out of his followers who adhered to the Fuhrerprinzip; or leader principle, the act de-facto gave nearly, but not all, power in Germany to Hitler. The Enabling act was passed and supported by all political parties in the Reichstag. The only parties that voted against the act was the Social Democratic Party and the Communist Party.
Hitler would attain hegemonic control over the states of Germany through mandating the dissolution of the parliaments of all German states, with the exception of Prussia which they already controlled. The new provisions resulted in the Nazis and their coalition partners receiving a working majority in all state parliaments. This was followed by further centralization of power with the appointment of a Reichsstathalter, who held near-complete control over state government, by the President, on the advice of the Chancellor. As these would near exclusively be coalition partners of the NSDAP, or NSDAP members, Hitler retained near absolute control over the state governments of Germany. In June 1933, Hitler banned his largest opposition group: the SPD. By July, the various other political parties represented in the Reichstag, including even the NSDAP's coalition partners, all dissolved themselves out of fear of the consequences if they did not. The Nazis on 14 July banned all other political parties save for the Nazi Party.
Hitler's next move was in unifying the Nazi Party with the state, establishing the Nazi Party as a public corporation of the German government and an official organ of the government. All government agencies fell under control of the Nazi Party. The states of Germany would later de-facto be dissolved, with their governing bodies superseded by the Gaue and their Gauleiters. In 1934, with the death of Hindenburg, Hitler combined the offices of President and Chancellor, proclaiming himself the "Führer and Chancellor of the German Reich".
Dictatorship and Interwar
Hitler was threatened by the left-wing of the Nazi movement, mostly in the Sturmabteilung led by Ernst Rohm, who supported the SA becoming a "people's army" that would merge with the Reichswehr to bypass the restrictions made on Germany's army. This was firmly opposed by the German bourgeoisie and the Reichswehr, which Hitler relied on for support. Consequentially Hitler took the opportunity to purge his opponents from both the party and outside it, killing them or sending them into exile. This ended any chance of any real organized political opposition to Hitler.
Hitler's economic policy was marked both by rapid privatizations of former state-owned companies and enterprises and a gradual shifting of the economy towards armament and a preparation for war, as Hitler saw it inevitable with his beliefs of "Lebensraum", or living space, that Germany would go to war with the rest of Europe. Hitler's Nazi Germany, through extreme misinformation and propaganda, propped up the image of a prosperous, stable, and strong Germany in contrast to the various other countries of Europe who were still reeling from the effects of the great depression. In reality, Hitler's budget came from borrowed time and money; quite literally. The Nazi's affinity for deficit spending (most of that going to the military) was such that on several occasions the German treasury was on the verge of bankruptcy, only saved either by taking out more loans from front companies or by looting the treasuries of the states Germany conquered. Germany was able to fundamentally ignore all debt obligations it had with its international and economic isolation from the world, a policy actively pursued by Hitler but which had drastic effects on Germany's abilities in war. In 1935, Hitler, in violation of the Versailles treaty, began conscription for the Reichswehr (soon reconstituted as the Wehrmacht) and re-established an air force for the military. Empowered by the lack of a strong response to Germany's repeated violations of the Versailles treaty, Hitler demilitarized the Rhineland and set his eyes on territorial expansion. In Austria, his home country, Hitler organized a political coup in 1938 that promptly resulted in the occupation of the country and its annexation. A referendum was held confirming the annexation. While its results are most certainly to be called into question and were most certainly falsified, it is concluded that most Austrians heavily supported unification with Germany. Under the guise of "self-determination", which Hitler proclaimed had been explicitly denied for the German people, Hitler justified his annexation of Austria and later the German-speaking Sudetenland, a region of Czechoslovakia. Hitler lost any and all trust, as well as potential for negotiation and cooperation with the powers of the west, with his de-facto annexation of Czechia and his partition of Czechoslovakia between the newly founded puppet state of Slovakia and Germany's new ally in Hungary.
Relationship to Italian Fascism
Nazism's relationship to
Italian fascism is often questioned and sometimes outright disputed. The actual core influence of Mussolini's fascism on Nazism is minimal, aside from aesthetics. Many of Nazism's core principles - including the Führerprinzip, Volksgemeinschaft and class collaborationism - find their roots in the Völkisch movement, rather than Italian fascism.
Historically, however, the actions of the Italian fascists did have a profound influence on Hitler and the Nazi Party. When Benito Mussolini's National Fascist Party came to power as a result of the March on Rome, Hitler and the Nazi Party began planning a coup similar to it less than a month later. Many of the Italian fascist aesthetics, including the Roman salute and the black-shirted uniforms, would be copied by the Nazis. The planned "coup", which would go on to be known as the "Beer Hall Putsch", would fail, persuading Hitler to pursue a mostly "legal" path to power.
Although quite similar, Nazism and Italian fascism originally had core philosophical differences that put them at odds with one another. While both were racialist and racist in nature, Nazism emphasized race and ethnicity (proclaiming this through the ideal of the Volksgemeinschaft), while Italian fascism simply emphasized the nation, which could include other races and ethnicities. To the Nazis, the state and race were one, whereas the Italian fascists believed that the nation serves the state, and that the state should not serve any specific ethnic groups.
The ideological differences would cause initial aggression and distrust between Hitler and Mussolini when Hitler rose to power in Germany. For example, there was a sizable German minority living in South Tyrol, a region in Italy, along with many other regions that Italy was also eyeing. Because of this, Italy supported the Austrofascist government of
Engelbert Dollfuss to contain Nazi aggression. In response, the Nazis would assassinate Dollfuss, causing great strain and tension between Germany and Italy. Italy would make several attempts throughout the early 1930s to create a political alliance with the western nations of Europe to oppose Nazi Germany, though all of these failed.
After the Italian Invasion of Ethiopia, Italy became internationally isolated and embargoed. As a result, Italy shifted its geopolitical attention away from Britain and France and instead towards Germany. Nazism and Fascism, thus, allied, and tensions between the two were eventually smoothed out. Italy would emerge as a key ally of the Nazis in World War II.
World War 2 & Aftermath
Hitler's ideal for Germany was a continent-spanning empire stretching from Metz in the west to Astrakhan in the east; consequentially, this would bring Hitler and Germany in conflict with Poland. Hitler demanded in 1939 that Poland cede the "Polish corridor", with the exception of Gdynia, to Germany, whilst Germany would annex Danzig. In return Germany would promise to protect Polish access to the sea and to their only port. Poland rejected the offer, never being allowed to see the provisions of it, and consequentially, with the help of several staged incidents made by the Nazi government, Germany declared war on Poland and invaded. To prevent any conflicts with the Soviets, the Nazis made an agreement with the Soviets in the form of a non-aggression pact that defined "spheres of influence", most notably of the Soviets in the Baltics and in much of Eastern Europe. The "Allies", or France and Britain, declared war on Germany soon-after. Stalin and the Soviet Union provided Hitler and Germany with much-needed resources for their war machine. These resources would be used in the invasions of Scandinavia and in the Low Countries, which resulted in France's capitulation. Hitler's invasions, as well as alliances with countries such as Italy, Hungary, Romania and Bulgaria, effectively meant that nearly the entire European continent fell under German influence, with very little exception. Germany's military successes began to slow down as their reserves of resources began to dry out and they became increasingly reliant on the Soviet Union, which Germany was almost completely reliant on for the resources of their conquests. As Germany was largely incapable of properly extracting the resources of their newly conquered territories due to a reasonable lack of enthusiasm of slaves for extracting resources, and because they utterly destroyed all infrastructure that would go into extracting these resources, the ability for Germany to independently make its own resources necessary for war was increasingly beginning to be threatened. To prevent the Soviets taking advantage of this weakness, Hitler, motivated by the Soviets' supposed weakness in the face of Finland, Germany invaded the Soviet Union to marked success, reaching so far as to encircle Leningrad and for his troops to be able to see the Kremlin in the distance. Germany was not prepared for a long war, and since they were drying up the resources the Soviets had provided to them, Germany's successes quickly turned against them. Around this time Hitler and the Nazis began the "final solution" of genociding the entire Jewish population in Europe, or at least where they could reach. This resulted in the near annihilation of the Jewish population of Europe by 1945, as well as the extinction of several languages, dialects, and other cultures targeted by the Nazis. By July 1944, with the allies establishing a strong foothold in Southern Italy and the allies launching a million-strong invasion of the beaches of Normandy, France, Nazi Germany and its allies found themselves cornered on every front. The situation became so desperate that army officers and elements of the Wehrmacht attempted to overthrow Hitler and sue for peace with the allies with unrealistic demands. The coup was exposed and went nowhere, but it proved that Hitler's once near-unanimous support was slipping and that the god-like conception of himself that he had promoted was slipping away. The army itself was refusing to give the Nazi salute and control and power of the army was slipping away from Hitler. By 1945, any chance of a "Final Victory" as espoused by the Nazis were fiction. Millions of Germans, with the advance of the Soviet Army closer to German territory, fled westward out of fears of reprisals excacerbated by German propaganda. Hitler lost the confidence of both his people and even his most loyal supporters, with his wartime measures fundamentally turning from an attempt to delay the inevitable, to turning Germany into a massive meat grinder that would take out as many "Judeo-Capitalists" and "Judeo-Bolshevists" as possible. By his last birthday, the allies and Soviets had almost entirely encircled Germany and were directly threatening Berlin, where Hitler was hiding. Encouraged by the execution and treatment of Mussolini by the Italian people, Hitler was convinced that he could not suffer the same humiliating fate, and consequentially shot himself on 30 April 1945. With him, the German government and war effort fundamentally fell apart; as his successor, Goebbels, also shot himself the day after, and his successors accepted peace with the allies. The effects on not just Germany, but much of Europe, was catastrophic. Germany faced casualties from 6.9 million to 7.4 million, with an aditional 7.3 million wounded, out of a pre-war population of 69.3 million. After the occupation of Germany, the allies went on an extensive de-nazification program to cleanse Germany of the extensive nazification the country had went through throughout the 12 years of Nazi dictatorship. The revelation of the vast crimes against humanity, as well as the genocide the Nazis supported and conducted, discredited Nazism immediately; any chances it had for sympathy were crushed by these revelations.
Neo-Nazism

After the dismantling and banning of Nazi groups across Europe, the movement became a fringe minority which manifested itself as "Neo-Nazism". Neo-Nazi groups have had historical and recent successes throughout Europe, however they remain firmly in the fringe. They seek to revive and resurrect Nazism after World War II to be adapted however they see for modern purposes. Neo-Nazism seeks to use its ideology to promote hatred and
white supremacy, attacks on
racial,
ethnic,
religious,
gender and sexual minorities
, and in some cases attempt to establish a fascist state.
International journalist Yoichiro Kawai has divided neo-nazis into two groups: those that support Nazi Germany and worship Adolf Hitler in the narrow sense, and those that engage in extremist activities, including armed struggle, with a focus on "claims that are still applicable to modern society", such as xenophobia and ethnic purity. He claims that neo-nazis in the broad sense are gaining influence, primarily among young people.
Beliefs
Racial views 
The racial views of Nazism are less a hierarchy and more of an ever-changing fluid mess of a one-story house. It's important to stress that Nazism used the term "race" (Rasse) sparingly, and instead preferred to use the term volk which effectively was used in replacement of the term "race"- but which did not exactly correlate to our modern understanding of race. Nazism, indeed, did believe in the existence of different races: but it did not believe in superficial terms like the "white race" or "yellow race". Rather, its concept of race was based upon that of ancestry: blood, ethnicity.
The "Aryan Race"
The Nazis, with a majority of Europe at the time, believed (correctly) that most of the peoples of Europe- that is the Indo-European speaking peoples of Europe, belonged to a grouping of peoples we would now know as Indo-European, at the time of course referred to as "Aryan".
Their belief was that the Aryan race (Arier Rasse)- or "Indo-Germanics", had originated out of what is now Northern Europe, conquering the pre-European peoples there before going on to spread into Anatolia, Iran, India, Central Asia, all the way into modern day Xinjiang. They thought that as the Aryan race had conquered farther from their homeland of Northern Europe, the more non-Aryans they intermingled with and thus the less "pure" their blood was. The Nordic race, a sub-race of the Aryan race, was considered by the Nazis to be the most racially pure Aryans; that is the race which carried on their appearance, culture and genetics most closely.
The Nazis did not group the Aryan peoples based on "how Aryan" they were, however. While it did acknowledge that the Nordic peoples were the most racially pure form of Aryan, it did not believe that they were inherently "better" or superior to the rest of the Aryans for that. The "Nazi racial hierarchy"- that is of the chart where Nords and Germanic peoples are at the top, Latins in the middle and etc. farther down is not a chart of superiority, but rather a chart highlighting how racially pure they are.
The racial hierarchy
If we are to ever understand Nazism's racial views, at least in the concept of why it compares everything to "Aryans", let us first examine the word "Aryan".
"Aryan" (from Proto-Indo-Iranian *Áryas) has several reconstructed origins. It seems most likely however that the root of the word comes from the Indo-European "h₂er-", which literally means "to fit", but which is translated in this context usually as "fitting, proper"- that is 'noble'. Hence, the word "Aryan" can be understood as meaning 'noble one'.
Now, we must examine the word "Herrenvolk". Normally, this is translated as "master race; master people". In the context of which the Nazis categorized the Aryan race as the "Herrenvolk" however, we find that the common translation of "Herr" as 'master' does not fit in this situation.
While Herr indeed can be translated as master, it is almost always used in the concept of 'gentleman'- a title of respect equivalent again to 'noble'.
Hence, when Nazism speaks of the "Aryan race" being the "herrenvolk", they were not saying that they were the 'master race', but rather a "gentlemanly race". In other words, calling the 'noble race' noble. The floor is floor.
In contrast, we find that the common translation of "Untermensch" as literally meaning "subhuman" also makes little sense if we understand what it is contrasting to.
The term "Untermensch" was previously used to refer not to racially inferior or genetically inferior people but rather to a morally or culturally inferior person. A gambler as an example would be considered morally inferior and thus "untermenschen".
In Nietzschean philosophy, the term "Untermensch" is in contrast to "Übermensch". Nietzsche's description of the "Übermensch" was that of a person who had transcended the 'otherworldliness' of Christian values- that is values given by God, and instead that of which manifested the 'grounded, human ideal'. In other words- they were supposed to be a gentlemanly (noble) people. Such is confirmed with the 'last man'- the antithesis of the "Übermensch". The last man is described as tired of life, takes no risks, and seeks only comfort and security. If the Übermensch is the antithesis of this, then we can find that "Übermensch" hence means somebody who is appreciative or even loves the world and life, is willing to take risks, and rejects passive comfort and routine (security).
Henceforth, we find in a sense that the term "Übermenschen" is a cognate with the term "Herrenvolk"- both mean 'gentlemanly people'- 'noble people'. In contrast we therefore find that the term 'untermenschen' refers to a culturally or morally inferior person.
This description is further backed up by Dr. Walter Gross, the head of the Office of Racial Policy of the NSDAP. In a letter sent to Dr. Gross in response to another by Iraqi prime minister Rashid Ali Al-Gaylani, Dr. Gross had this to say.
"The Germans do not fight the Jews because they are Semitic or because they come from the East, but for their character, egoism and their hostility to society."
Nazi racial hierarchy, therefore, was based on the concept of gentlemanliness- of nobleness. It was not rooted in the belief of some races being inherently 'superior' physically or genetically (though the Nazis despised racial mixing), but rather in the concept of moral supremacy. The Jews were lambasted by the Nazis as being 'untermenschen' because of their supposed synonymity with the 'Untermenschen'. They were thought to be greedy, lazy, egoistic and self-serving and desired only passive comfort and security. Likewise, this is why there were 'noble Jews'- treated the same as 'Aryans'. Nazism ranked races therefore on their character: at least their perceived character. This hence is why Nazi racial hierarchies appear to be so self-contradicting: because nothing about the racial hierarchy was set in stone: it was always ever-changing with new perceptions of the supposed characteristics of races.
Völkisch equality
Völkisch equality is a concept within Nazism and a legal practice within Nazi Germany and its controlled territories during World War II, which ascribed racial equality of opportunity, equality before the law, and full legal rights to people of German blood or related blood, but deliberately excluded people outside this definition, who were regarded as inferior. Nazism rejected the concept of the universal equality of human beings. Only those who qualified as Aryans were allowed full legal rights, including equality before the law. This type of equality was not an equality of people as holders of human rights but an equality of people as members of a master race, and thus individuals' interests were subordinate to the collective interest of the Volksgemeinschaft. The Nazis were opposed to the conventional universal conception of equality. The Nazis advocated a welfare state for German citizens (able-bodied Germans of Aryan racial descent) as a means to eliminate social barriers between the German people. The Nazis provided equal access to education for talented children of workers and peasants. Hitler claimed that equality of opportunity for all racially sound German males was the meaning of the "socialism" of National Socialism.
Divide within Nazi circles 
Often (Serious) Nazi circles have a strong disdain for Neo-Nazis and are shown to often break the mainstream view of Aryanism. Nazism (In a serious sense) is seen as organic. In these circles (Mostly) they view Nazism as being able to be applied to any Aryan nation. Example: France can possibly support Esoteric Nazism since the connection with Blood and Soil regarding the Franks and among other forms. Other subjects within these circles are Slavs
and Asians
. There are more modern divergences and serious debates in underground discord and telegram channels.
Genocide
It is widely known that Nazism prefers to solve its problems by gassing and burning them. Human beings are no exception. Anyone considered an “Untermensch” (subhuman in German) will be thrown into a concentration/death camp by Nazism if he sees them. One way to tell if someone you know is considered an Untermensch is if Nazism puts three sets of parenthesis "((()))" around his/her name or pronouns. Nazism also uses the triple parenthesis to refer to entire groups he doesn’t like, mainly Jews. In practice, Nazism see genocide as a last resort, hence the term "Final Solution", and prefer to "humanely" deport Untermensch or use them as slave labor.
Social Darwinism 
The argument that Nazi ideology was strongly influenced by Social Darwinist ideas is often found in historical and social science literature. For example, the philosopher and historian Hannah Arendt analyzed the historical development from a politically indifferent scientific Darwinism via social Darwinist ethics to racist ideology. Nazism views Darwinian evolution as justification for the belief in the supposed superiority of the Aryan race. Nazi Germany's justification for its aggression was regularly promoted in Nazi propaganda films depicting scenes such as beetles fighting in a lab setting to demonstrate the principles of "survival of the fittest" as depicted in Alles Leben ist Kampf (English translation: All Life is Struggle).
To Nazism, people with inherited disorders are considered to be “useless eaters” and were killed/sent to camps on sight as they were regarded as "life unworthy of life" (German: Lebensunwertes Leben). Mental disabilities fare mildly better than physical disabilities depending on the severity of the disorder, but it usually ends up the same way even in minor cases.
During Nazi Germany's early years, an infamous practice was promising treatment and care for cripples in state-owned hospitals, then either coercing or convincing their families to give up their disabled family member(s), only for the Nazis to euthanize them in their "hospitals".
Nationalism and Dictatorship

Nazism is very, well, nationalist; the Fatherland comes first. Always. In Nazism, the individual is nothing but a servant to the nation-state. Current leaders of Nazism, notably Adolf Hitler, are referred to as the “Führer” ("Leader" in German). As a leadership-based system, the Führer has nearly unlimited power over their subordinates, although they do tend to have ruling councils and bureaucracy based on WWII-era observations. Using this extreme nationalism, citizens under Nazism will often fight to the death to protect their land and leader. Acording to Götz Haydar Aly Nazis promoted the ideal of a social order in which all Germans of “pure aryan blood” were freed from traditional class barriers and had an opportunity to reach any level of success by serving the fatherland. Nazis could thus have viewed themselves as a form of continuation of Bismarck's paternalist legacy, viewed by them as only the beginning for all “real” Germans to obtain high quality of life. In some regards a majority of German families could maintain good standards of living even under bombardment of the Allies thanks to the spoils of war. Every country occupied by German army had to contribute in the interests of German people, and in 5 years Nazis took from various nations of Europe goods worth 2 trillion of dollars. Each time, Nazis first nationalized Jewish property only to privatize it away to German people or other deemed worthy. As estimated by Aly, robbery of resources in occupied states allowed most of German people to have more comfort than civil population in Great Britain.
Religion 
Nazism's religious beliefs are not entirely set in stone; there were many a Christian and even
Muslim with the
Pagan mixed in there, but it is undeniable that Nazism was a deeply religious movement which opposed all forms of atheism and antitheism. Most of the leading figures of Nazism, particularly
Hitler and
Goebbels, frequently made references to "the Lord", "providence", and "God" in their writings and speeches. Hitler himself stated that one of the reasons why he was opposed to
Bolshevism was because he believed it preached "godlessness".
Nazism as a religion
It can be argued that Nazism considers itself to be a religion, such as in the case of Goebbels writing on October 16, 1928 when he proclaimed that "National Socialism is a religion".
What does Christianity mean today? National Socialism is a religion. All we lack is a religious genius capable of uprooting outmoded religious practices and putting new ones in their place. We lack traditions and ritual. One day soon National Socialism will be the religion of all Germans. My Party is my church, and I believe I serve the Lord best if I do his will, and liberate my oppressed people from the fetters of slavery. That is my gospel.
As for the actual religious beliefs of the so-called "National Socialist religion", the consensus seems to be that it is a panentheistic religion, where the universe and God are understood to be one and the same. This connection between God and nature and the belief that God is nature (as in, directly) is among the many reasons why Nazism supported deep ecology and other such environmentalist movements.
Nazism can also be characterized as an autotheistic religion due to the fact that Nazism reveres the Fuhrer, believing in him as an ideal, and attributing divine qualities to him. This contributed to the active cultivation of the cult of Hitler's personality in the Third Reich.
Nazism was never exactly hostile to Christianity, but its belief that the Volksgemeinschaft and state take priority over religious authority often rendered Nazism to take hostile action towards certain Christian groups, such as that of the Catholics. An attempt was made to create a sort of positive Christianity that would have combined the teachings of Jesus Christ with Nazism, though this mostly went nowhere.
Maternalism 
A core element of society under Nazism is the basic family structure, with mothers producing and fathers providing, under the basis of the 3Ks: kinder (Children), küche (Kitchen), kirche (Church). Due to the declining birth rates during the
Weimar Republic era, Hitler took measures to increase birth rates and succeeded with the increase from 1.6 average children per woman in 1933 to 2.6 average children per woman in 1940, by offering favourable loans and grants to newlyweds and encouraged them to give birth to offspring by providing them with additional incentives, and ban on abortion and birth contraptions. Although this issue isn’t as important to him as is
Religion or
Race.
One of the lesser-known facets of feminist movements can be observed within the context of Germany, particularly during the rise of National Socialism. Despite prevailing viewpoints among some fellow National Socialists that feminism was incompatible, Jewish, or unfavorable, it is important to note that the Nazi movement garnered substantial support from women. In the presidential election of March 1932, approximately 26.5% of German women cast their votes for Hitler. Furthermore, in the September 1931 elections, Nazi candidates received approximately 3 million votes from women, representing nearly half of the total 6.5 million votes garnered by the Nazi party.
The Frauenwerk, a government-sponsored women's activity organization, saw participation from over 4 million women. Additionally, 5 million women belonged to the women's division of the German Labor Front. The Nazi regime encouraged the establishment of such organizations with the aim of mobilizing women across various spheres of the Reich, promoting the rejuvenation of femininity. Notably, within the realm of Nazi feminism, Sophie Rogge-Börner, a teacher and writer, emerged as one of the prominent figures. Rogge-Börner, along with other members of the NSDAP's feminist block, based their feminism on the idealization of a semi-mythical Nordic Golden Age characterized by sexual equality. They believed that a true national community, founded upon harmony and class comradeship, would be unattainable as long as the state continued to discriminate against women based on their gender.
Although Sophie Rogge-Börner never officially joined the NSDAP, she had been associated with various German völkisch groups, including the National Socialist Freedom Movement. Despite her non-membership, she remained a fervent supporter of National Socialism, actively participating in the völkisch literary movement. Like many German nationalists, she greeted the new Hitler government in 1933 with great enthusiasm. Upon Hitler's rise to power, Sophie compiled a memorandum, which was subsequently published as the lead article in the newly-established National Socialist journal, The German Female Fighter. Later, her work, along with multiple similar articles on Nazi feminism, was compiled into the 1933 book titled German Women Address to Adolf Hitler. This publication received a brief written acknowledgement from Prussian Reich Commissioner Göring.
While the book was eventually banned by the government in 1937, it did lead to minor reforms. These reforms primarily focused on women's organizations, maternal support, affordable housing, and other pro-family and pro-mother policies, bearing similarities to those implemented under Italian Fascism and the BUF.
Quoting from the memorandum:
“In all other areas of civic life the necessity of bringing in the foremost influence of women applies just as much. This claim to a greater area of responsibility cannot be dismissed as feminism. The Volk have an inalienable right to leadership by the best Germans of both sexes. The Volk comprises the entirety of the people; if it is to prosper it can therefore only be led through the whole of the people. The best men and the best women have to share in the leadership of the nation. Men and women must participate in every leadership office.” — Sophie Rogge-Börner, German Women Address to Adolf Hitler
Sophie Rogge-Börner held the belief that the pursuit of gender equality was intricately tied to anti-Semitism and the notion of Nordic beauty. According to her perspective, the Germanic peoples possessed a historical foundation in which women enjoyed complete equality and the opportunity to fully manifest their potential. The Nazi feminists, including Rogge-Börner, advocated for the idea that women could be priestesses, leaders, and even warriors. They drew upon sources such as the Edda, Icelandic sagas, Hervarar saga, Gesta Danorum, and the writings of Tacitus to support their claims regarding this Nordic concept of feminism.
These Nazi feminists utilized National Socialist principles, which held that Germanness represented the highest ideal, to argue that Germany should model itself after the Nordic era. This formed the basis of Volkish Feminism. It is important to note, however, that while many of Rogge-Börner's ideas regarding complete gender equality were not implemented by Hitler's regime, she remained loyal to National Socialism throughout World War II. Even after the war, Sophie continued to express support for Hitler and National Socialism until her death.
Interestingly, the National Socialists even had a mural depicting various feminists, including Hedwig Heyl, Auguste Schmidt, and Helene Lange, with a caption that acknowledged their contributions.
“We respect all genuine achievements made in earlier times, because they correspond to the spirit of National Socialism.” — Adolf Hitler, The Path of Women mural
A National Socialists mural showing various feminists
In 1926, Emma Hadlich, a feminist, ignited a debate with an article in the National Observer, the official newspaper of the NSDAP. In her piece, Hadlich criticized Elsbeth Zander, the head of the women's organization affiliated with the NSDAP. This led to a series of charges and countercharges published in the newspaper from January to April 1926. Many of the issues raised during this debate resurfaced in 1933 with the publication of German Women Address to Adolf Hitler. Even after the National Socialists assumed power, Nazi feminists continued to express their views. They believed that while women were different from men, they possessed full capabilities, intelligence, and the ability to contribute to the German people in ways beyond motherhood. According to their vision of a truly German society, women would work and fight alongside men, collectively striving for the well-being of the community. Nazi feminists drew upon anthropological theories that postulated matriarchy as the earliest form of social organization. Moreover, they argued that in ancient Germanic society, men and women held equal importance. The debate between Nazi feminists and their opponents primarily revolved around the historical nature of Germanic society rather than the desired conditions for the future. While the arguments put forth by Nazi feminists aligned with National Socialist principles, one woman, Irmgard Reichenau, surpassed these boundaries and adopted lines of reasoning reminiscent of radical modern liberal feminism. In her essay on Gifted Women, which she sent to Hitler in March 1932, Reichenau argued that women must have access to influential positions not only for the benefit of the state but also for their personal fulfillment. She defended career women against accusations of causing unemployment and opting to remain single, as well as the notion that they lacked desire for children. Reichenau accused men of seeking comfort in marriage while avoiding strong, intelligent women. She asserted that talented women with careers would make better mothers than those solely focused on motherhood. To support her argument, she cited examples of accomplished women such as Maria Theresa, who had sixteen children, and Clara Schumann, who had eight. Reichenau warned that unused talents often manifested in other ways, such as hysteria, neurosis, and domestic tyranny. Beyond the ideological dispute itself, what is particularly intriguing about this debate is the absence of doctrinal rigidity. Alfred Rosenberg acknowledged that Hadlich's original article and Zander's response revealed the range of ideas held by these feminist Nazis. He suggested that it would be best to openly discuss these differences. Other writers noted that the conflict demonstrated the vitality of the movement. Ultimately, Rosenberg left the issue to the party leadership, emphasizing that all differences of opinion should yield to the central struggle against Capitalism, Marxism, and Jewry. In 1933, when these issues were raised again, Irmgard opened her book with two quotations from Hitler—one calling on anyone who perceived danger to the people to openly combat evil, and the other stating that "He who loves Germany may criticize us." Rosenberg clarified in the National Observer that his comments on Hadlich's article were not intended to imply that women were inferior to men, but rather to highlight the differences in their psyches and biology. Despite Rosenberg's efforts to conclude the debate in the newspaper, Nazi feminists continued to criticize him for his views. Irmgard even went so far as to accuse him of being a Jew for promoting sexism. Consequently, many feminists involved with the National Socialist movement faced censorship by the German state. For more information on Nazi feminists, one can refer to the book Mobilizing Woman For War by Leila J. Rupp. As depicted in the book, women held numerous positions within the Third Reich. They served in women's administrations, contributed to women's education, worked as professors and scholars, and served in the police and fire services, transportation, camps, offices, auxiliary military roles, and medicine as nurses, doctors, and military administrators. Women were also involved in politics and aviation. Several women received commendations such as the Iron Cross and the Golden Party Badge. The German Luftwaffe even had one of the first female pilots. A video on Hanna Reitsch In 1944, a significant number of women took on combat flights to release male pilots for active duty, while hundreds of women became gliding instructors. Among them was Hanna Reitsch, a renowned test pilot who had received numerous honors. In 1945, she participated in combat as she carried out the last flight into and out of Berlin.
After the war in her last interview she said this:
“And what have we now in Germany? A country of bankers and car-makers. Even our great army has gone soft. Soldiers wear beards and question orders. I am not ashamed to say I believed in National Socialism. I still wear the Iron Cross with diamonds Hitler gave me. But today in all of Germany you can't find a single person who voted Adolf Hitler into power. Many Germans feel guilty about the war. But they don't explain the real guilt we share – that we lost.” — Hanna Reitsch, interview with Ron Laytner
Additionally, delving into the role of Eleanor Bauer provides further insight into this topic. Bauer played a pivotal role as one of the key founders of the NSDAP, assisting Hitler from its inception. She initially served as a nurse during World War I and later provided support to the Freikorps Oberland troops during their conflicts against the Bavarian Soviet Republic and in the Baltic campaign of 1919. Bauer's arrest on March 11, 1920, for disturbing the peace after delivering an anti-Semitic speech at a women's rally in Munich ultimately resulted in her acquittal, solidifying her status as a hero within the Nazi movement. Notably, she sustained injuries during the Beer Hall Putsch and was the only woman to actively participate in this event. In recognition of her involvement, Bauer was honored with the Blood Order, one of the highest decorations awarded by the party and bestowed upon only 16 German women. Remaining a close confidante of Hitler, Bauer held a prominent position within his inner circle. Heinrich Himmler even appointed her as the welfare sister for the Waffen-SS, elevating her to the rank equivalent of an SS Oberführer, or a Waffen SS General. In 1934, Bauer established the National Socialist Order of Sisters, an organization dedicated to nursing, and assumed the position of honorary chairwoman in 1937. Her contributions were further acknowledged with the award of the golden party badge. Under the Nazi regime, she was promoted as the embodiment of the ideal Nazi woman, with Der Spiegel referring to her as "the nurse of the Nazi nation." Bauer received several medals, including the Silesian Eagle Order, the Silver Medal for Bravery, and the Baltikum Cross. Importantly, even after the war, Bauer never renounced National Socialism and remained steadfast in her convictions, displaying unwavering self-confidence.
Deutsche Physik and Nuclear Program
Deutsche Physik, or Aryan Physics, was a nationalist movement in the German physics community in the early 1930s which had the support of many eminent physicists in Germany. The term was taken from the title of a four-volume physics textbook by Nobel laureate Philipp Lenard in the 1930s. Deutsche Physik was opposed to the work of Albert Einstein and other modern theoretically based physics, which was disparagingly labeled "Jewish physics" (German: Jüdische Physik). When the Nazis entered the political scene, Lenard quickly attempted to ally himself with them, joining the party at an early stage. With another Nobel laureate in Physics, Johannes Stark, Lenard began a core campaign to label Einstein's relativity as Jewish physics. Nuclear fission was discovered in December 1938 by chemists Otto Hahn and Fritz Strassmann and physicists Lise Meitner and Otto Robert Frisch, two of whom were Jewish. Lenard and Stark benefited considerably from this Nazi support. Under the rallying cry that physics should be more "German" and "Aryan", Lenard and Stark embarked on a Nazi-endorsed plan to replace physicists at German universities with "Aryan physicists". By 1935, though, this campaign was superseded by the Nuremberg Laws of 1935. There were no longer any Jewish physics professors in Germany, since under the Nuremberg Laws, Jews were not allowed to work in universities. Stark in particular also tried to install himself as the national authority on "German" physics under the principle of Gleichschaltung (literally, "coordination") applied to other professional disciplines. Under this Nazi-era paradigm, academic disciplines and professional fields followed a strictly linear hierarchy created along ideological lines. Politicization of German academia under the Nazi régime of 1933–1945 had driven many physicists, engineers, and mathematicians out of Germany as early as 1933. Those of Jewish heritage who did not leave were quickly purged, further thinning the ranks of researchers. The politicization of the universities, along with German armed forces demands for more manpower (many scientists and technical personnel were conscripted, despite possessing technical and engineering skills), substantially reduced the number of able German physicists. The figureheads of "Aryan physics" met with moderate success, but the support from the Nazi Party was not as great as Lenard and Stark would have preferred. They began to fall from influence after a long period of harassment of quantum physicist Werner Heisenberg, which included getting him labeled a "White Jew" in Das Schwarze Korps. Heisenberg was an extremely eminent physicist, and the Nazis realized that they were better off with him rather than without, however "Jewish" his theory might be in the eyes of Stark and Lenard. In a historic moment, Heisenberg's mother rang Heinrich Himmler's mother and asked her whether she would please tell the SS to give "Werner" a break. After beginning a full character evaluation, which Heisenberg both instigated and passed, Himmler forbade further attack on the physicist. Heisenberg would later employ his "Jewish physics" in the German project to develop nuclear fission for the purposes of nuclear weapons or nuclear energy use. Himmler promised Heisenberg that after Germany won the war, the SS would finance a physics institute to be directed by Heisenberg. Lenard began to play less and less of a role, and soon Stark ran into even more difficulty, as other scientists and industrialists known for being exceptionally "Aryan" came to the defense of relativity and quantum mechanics. Nazi Germany undertook several research programs relating to nuclear technology, including nuclear weapons and nuclear reactors, before and during World War II. These were variously called Uranverein (Uranium Club) or Uranprojekt (Uranium Project). The first effort started in April 1939, just months after the discovery of nuclear fission in Berlin in December 1938, but ended only a few months later, shortly ahead of the September 1939 German invasion of Poland, for which many notable German physicists were drafted into the Wehrmacht. A second effort under the administrative purview of the Wehrmacht's Heereswaffenamt began on September 1, 1939, the day of the invasion of Poland. The program eventually expanded into three main efforts: Uranmaschine (nuclear reactor) development, uranium and heavy water production, and uranium isotope separation. Eventually, the German military determined that nuclear fission would not contribute significantly to the war, and in January 1942 the Heereswaffenamt turned the program over to the Reich Research Council (Reichsforschungsrat) while continuing to fund the activity. The program was split up among nine major institutes where the directors dominated research and set their own objectives. Subsequently, the number of scientists working on applied nuclear fission began to diminish as many researchers applied their talents to more pressing wartime demands. The most influential people in the Uranverein included Kurt Diebner, Abraham Esau, Walther Gerlach, and Erich Schumann. Schumann was one of the most powerful and influential physicists in Germany. Diebner, throughout the life of the nuclear weapon project, had more control over nuclear-fission research than did Walther Bothe, Klaus Clusius, Otto Hahn, Paul Harteck, or Werner Heisenberg. Esau was appointed as Reichsmarschall Hermann Göring's plenipotentiary for nuclear-physics research in December 1942, and was succeeded by Walther Gerlach after he resigned in December 1943. Developments took place in several phases, but in the words of historian Mark Walker, it ultimately became "frozen at the laboratory level" with the "modest goal" to "build a nuclear reactor which could sustain a nuclear fission chain reaction for a significant amount of time and to achieve the complete separation of at least tiny amounts of the uranium isotopes". The scholarly consensus is that it failed to achieve these goals, and that despite fears at the time, the Germans had never been close to producing nuclear weapons.
Homophobia
Homosexuality is considered degenerate in the eyes of Nazism. When they are present, gays and
lesbians are considered to be untermensch and will be sent to prison or directly to concentration camps. Under these conditions, it is still unknown how
Homofascism came to be. Ernst Julius Günther Röhm, one of the few homosexual Nazis who were eventually purged, was a fervent advocate of this ideology. After WW2, the National Socialist League (NSL) was founded as a neo-Nazi organization of gay men in the United States that existed from 1974 until 1984.
Animal Welfare & Environmental Policies
Nazism had elements supportive of animal rights. The Nazi government took several measures aiming to protect the animals. In 1933, the Nazis enacted a stringent animal-protection law that affected what was allowed for medical research (the law was only loosely enforced, and in spite of a ban on vivisection, the Ministry of the Interior readily handed out permits for experiments on animals). The Reich Forestry Office under Göring enforced regulations that required foresters to plant a variety of trees to ensure suitable habitat for wildlife, and the regime enacted the Reich Nature Protection Act in 1935 to protect the natural landscape, though some report it was done in a process of "Germanization" of forests in conquered territory, where they would be emptied to then be stocked with purely "Teutonic" species, including eagles, elk, and wolves. Nature worship wasn't introduced by Nazis in Germany as it goes back to the origins of modern romanticism, of which its influence has since then been transverse to german culture and its political spectrum, including Social Democrats and Marxists. However, Nazi ideology laid the blame for alienation, rootlessness and environmental destruction on rationalism, cosmopolitanism, and urban civilization - all of which they connected to jewry - instead of locating its source in social and economic structures. The “green” aspect of Nazism, such as its attitude towards forest preservation, stayed entirely within a conservative and/or reactionary conception of environmental policy. Furthermore, what is often stressed in Nazism as part of its environmental discourse: its exaltation of the virtues of rurality against cosmopolitan urban life; was actually from the Völkisch movement, and was surfing on an already present sentiment among youth culture which rejected civic engagement outright and embraced a communal, back-to-the-land lifestyle instead, both pertaining more to agrarian tendencies. By the late 1930s, what could be linked to environmentalism in Nazi rhetoric eventually moved out from their concerns as they prepared Germany for global conflagration, and disappeared after the war started. Thus, if perfunctory efforts were made to curb air pollution, little enforcement of existing legislation was undertaken once the war began.

Nazi Economics 

National Socialist economics originate from the wittings of the German economist and historian Werner Sombart.
National Socialist economics can be best described as Neo-Feudalism mixed with
National Syndicalism, the latter being the case via the
German Labor Front (DAF), which was the only legal trade union in the Third Reich as well as the largest. The Nazis believed in
Aryan entrepreneurship and a
talent-based class system. According to historian Henry Ashby Turner in his book German Big Business & The Rise of Hitler, Adolf Hitler viewed Germany's national bourgeoisie as a biological necessity, believing that those who rose to the top demonstrated traits essential to German greatness. For Hitler, the business elite played a crucial role in the revitalization of Germany. Turner asserts, "Hitler was an anti-socialist out of conviction, not out of opportunism." However, the Nazis also believed that economic hierarchies must fully serve the Reich. Workers enabling Third Reich plans deserved protection and decent living, unless they posed a threat to regime interests. Hitler did not regard himself as being either on the left or on the right, but wanted to overcome both extremes – not in the ‘middle’, however, but with a new extreme in which both left and right were abolished. Yet, in Diarmund Jeffreys’ book Hell’s Cartel: IG Farben and the Making of Hitler's War Machine, with the replacement of independent trade unions by the Nazi Factory Cell Organization and the German Labor Front, management within German businesses such IG Farben were forced to work out their responses to the issue these organizations began raising over pay and conditions. For example, if they were to accede to local party requests that workers be allowed paid time off to attend rallies or paramilitary training sessions, they would relinquish a slice of managerial control. If not, they would risk alienating Nazi activists among their employees who might have powerful supporters from the Nazi government. More often than not, managerial control lost out.
The Nazis regarded the business elites as a modern-day nobility, believing they had a noblesse oblige—a responsibility to contribute to the well-being of broader society. In fact, the Nazis framed class relations in a reciprocal manner similar to the
feudalist mode of production. According to Richard J. Evans, this was reflected in their labor laws; by their logic,
workers provide
employers the means to accumulate profits (which can be utilized in service of the Reich), and thus employers must give workers enough to lead a life of virtue and decency (with the Reich itself filling in any gaps).[45] Treating employers as lords and the workers as serfs was reflected in the Führerprinzip, which was pushed in all aspects of life. C-Suite positions in German companies were renamed after the Third Reich's government structure. The Vorstandsvorsitzender (Chairman of the Board, or Chief Executive Officer), for instance, would be renamed Führer. Which means those at the top of Nazi companies effectively held total dominance over their workers, accountable only to Hitler himself and subsequently the
German Labour Front (DAF). But even in such cases, as noted by Christoph Buchheim and Jonas Scherner, the Nazi elite respected the "right to contract" even during the war. In the steel industry, Nazis offered tax incentives for meeting quotas, granting autonomy for profitability, even tolerating occasional quota misses. In spring 1939, IG Farben rejected a request to increase rayon production; this angered the regime, but the company suffered no material consequences.[46] Nazi privatization, however, forcefully integrated perceived patriotic elements among capitalists into the NSDAP, while enriching the Party. For sale of Weimar assets favored high-ranking Party members and organizations. Hitler
was sceptical about nationalising all means of production because, as a
Social Darwinist, he feared that this
would override natural selection in the economic
sphere. From the mid-1930s, however, he became
increasingly convinced that a planned economy was far
superior to a market economy and, with time, came to
increasingly admire the Soviet system. [47]
With respect to the
German Labour Front ("DAF"), left-wing critics argue it was a tool for oppressing workers to the benefit of capitalists while right-wing critics say it unfairly benefitted workers at the expense of businesses. The truth, however, is in the middle. For even the DAF reflected the neo-feudal and corporatist attitudes of the regime. On the one hand, the Third Reich created the largest trade union in the world. According to Richard Tedor, the DAF generally improved working conditions and even used the Gestapo to punish anti-social managers. Workers were given locker rooms, subsidized single-family housing (which would later influence American housing policy), budget holidays (vis a vis Strength Through Joy), and other benefits which ensured workers would be loyal to the regime.[48] While it is true the DAF did suppress wages in order to get business going, living expenses sharply decreased overall, making wage increases redundant. On the flipside, the DAF used "labor booklets" which would often bind a worker to their job. Employers—whom, again, were declared Führer over their enterprises—could control workers by withholding necessary booklets, crucial for finding work, risking starvation for disobedient employees.[49] Contrary to popular belief, the Nazis did have
welfare programs. However, it was limited to workers in the DAF, registered members of the Nazi Party, and those who could be served by the semi-private National Socialist People's Welfare organization (which was effectively a subsidized charity organization). By 1932, the DAF merged with the Chamber of Economics and had the ability to engage in economic planning. Businesses with monopoly rights were also given sway over price setting boards. The Nazis also used the DAF to start state-owned enterprises like Volkswagen that handed out cars for cheap, reflecting Fichte's closed commercial state.
In general, the Nazi economy blended aspects of
Authoritarian Capitalism with
National Syndicalism, which they believed was a
Third Position opposed to the class warfare of
Marxism and
Capitalism. Nazi economics, above all else, was deeply "pragmatic". Their concern was to make the Third Reich capable of creating living space for Aryans, countering what they called "Anglo-Saxon hegemony", and to ultimately unite all Aryans under the swastika ("All are one"). To keep German business management in line with the desires of the state, the
DAF appointed chairmen to each large-scale enterprise within several plants, with the addition to the formation of an Unternehmensberait or Enterprise Council. [50] According to Christian Schneider, a chief executive of IG Farben, stated before the Nuremberg Military Tribunals, an advisory body representing the employees, in accordance to the law regulating national labor, in enterprises with various plants, was to be created to advise the entrepreneur on social welfare questions. In the case of the one stationed within IG Farben, for example, it consisted of ten confidential Council members from the larger plants. The leaders of these local plants, as Schneider states, were expected to provide state social welfare policy, which included “state social insurance, local salary and wage rate questions, the general working conditions as set forth in the local plant regulations, and above all the hiring and employment of workers. The local plant leader was responsible of that and was familiar with the regulation and was, according to national labor regulation law, to have principal responsibility for local conditions.
Although Nazi flirtations with
Corporatocracy seems at odds with socialism at first, it should be noted that utilizing corporations towards "social ends" was a popular idea among utopian socialists at the time, including Johann Gottlieb Fichte (a major influence on Nazism) and King C. Gillette (who wanted the means of production to be owned by a corporate monopoly in which all citizens are a shareholder of). Nazism can be seen as a form of utopian socialism as outlined by Saint-Simon. The German pattern of socialism (Zwangswirtschaft) is characterized by the fact that it maintains, although only nominally, some institutions of capitalism. Labor is, of course, no longer a “commodity”; the labor market has been solemnly abolished; the government fixes wage rates and assigns every worker the place where he must work. Private ownership has been nominally untouched. In fact, however, the former entrepreneurs have been reduced to the status of shop managers (Betriebsführer). The government tells them what and how to produce, at what prices and from whom to buy, at what prices and to whom to sell. Business may remonstrate against inexpedient injunctions, but the final decision rests with the authorities. Market exchange and entrepreneurship are thus only a sham. The government, not the consumers’ demands, directs production; the government, not the market, fixes every individual’s income and expenditure. This is socialism with the outward appearance of capitalism—all-round planning and total control of all economic activities by the government. Some of the labels of capitalistic market economy are retained, but they signify something entirely different from what they mean in a genuine market economy. [51]
The Nazis sought to dismantle what they deemed to be an unnatural hierarchy of the middle class and nobility who had allegedly jealously kept their wealth and titles while failing to justify their hierarchical position through their actions in World War I. Even nationalists among them were deemed by the Nazis to have not upheld an appropriate share of contribution to the war effort. Thus, the Nazis claimed that only the primordial brutality and willpower of the lower orders could save Germany and thus justified equality of opportunity as a means to create new capable leaders for German society, and to build a new, "natural" hierarchy based on merit.
Rudolf Jung, a pioneer of the National Socialism movement and author of the book National Socialism: Its Foundations, Development, and Goals (1922), argued that Germany was bring subverted by capitalism via foreign influences, eroding the medieval peasant life that he idealized. He claimed that there existed a Teutonic golden age where German society was defined an inherent racial purity via the German spirit, epitomized by the communal and culturally rich lives of tribal peasants and artisans deeply connected to their land. However, as Jung argued, the introduction of Roman law, imbued with a “Jewish spirit” as well as an abstract and “oriental” origin, brought about a decline in the idyllic social order. Following this, as Rudolf Jung argued, the discovery of America brought about the rise of capitalism, which he blamed for the transition from a needs- and barter-based economy to a monetary-economy, resulting in the landed nobility, with the exception of the great landowners, became impoverished. Thus, he believed that the rule of money and self-interest emerged in Germany as the cities became rich through trade. Because of this, Roman law had alienated the law from the German populace. He saw capitalism as exacerbating this disconnection, with industrialization displacing peasants and diminishing artisans' creative capacities, thereby fostering division and strife within society. He identified various modern elements — usury, the banking system, foreign capital, liberal democracy, and Marxism — as accomplices in this degradation, facilitating exploitation and division in pursuit of wealth and power. Jung's narrative thus frames the decay of German society through the lens of these two disruptive forces, setting a foundational critique that would resonate within National Socialist ideology. [52]

British Nazism/Leeseism
British Nazism/Leeseism is based on the thoughts of British political figure Arnold Leese.
He was born at Lytham St Annes, Lancashire, England,
United Kingdom on November 16th 1878 while his father named Spencer Leese was a manufacturer that became an artist while his nephew named Sir Joseph Francis Leese was a judge that became a politician for the
"Liberal Party" but then become a first-class cricketer and his second cousin named Sir Oliver Leese was a
Lieutenant-General of the "British Army" since 1914.
Arnold Leese was educated at Giggleswick School near Settle while his childhood was characterised by loneliness because he is the only child in the family but then in 1894, his father named Spencer Leese died so the family are in financial difficulties so Leese force to leave boarding school and then years later he attended the
Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons thanks to the financial help of his
grandfather.
In 1903, Arnold Leese graduated at the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons so he worked as an equine clinician in London but then in 1907, he accepted a post at the Civil Veterinary Department in the
British Raj aka India in which he became an expert on camels while working alongside with the
North-West Frontier but then in 1909, he published
several articles on this animal along with its maladies so he was first appeared in the "Journal of Tropical Veterinary Science" while in 1910, a camel parasite called Thelazia leesei was named after him by Louis-Joseph Alcide Railliet and then in 1913, he was transferred to
Italian Somaliland to work for the East Africa Government's veterinary department where he was posted at the outbreak of World War One (1914-1918).
During World War One, Arnold Leese was commissioned in the Royal Army Veterinary Corps but then served as a camel purchase officer to the remount commission with the Somaliland Camel Corps while in
France on the Western Front he was a veterinary officer for the Advanced Horse Transport Depot and during the war he was married to May Winifred King who is the daughter of a former
landlord but then after the war Leese returned to the United Kingdom to be settled in Stamford as a practising vet until retirement in June 1928.
In the early 1920s, Arnold Leese became interested in
Italian Fascism while developed a fascination for
Benito Mussolini but then in April 1923, he wrote a short pamphlet called "Fascism for Old England" that praised Mussolini while highlighting the significance of
Fascism for Britain and then Leese joined the
"British Fascists" lead by Rotha Lintorn-Orman shortly after it's creation while in March 1924, he established his own branch which soon gained 80 members but then Leese despised however the group's policies for allowing former
Socialists or
Jews in the party, contending that it was "honeycombed" with
Communist infiltrators.
Arnold Leese further explains that the "British Fascists" did not understand Fascism at all while he revolted against
Democracy for a return to
Statesmanship but also as an animal lover, he claimed that the style of animal slaughter was practised in Judaism that influenced his
Anti-Semitism and then he joined an international think tank that was based in
Switzerland called the "Centre International d'Études sur le Fascisme/International Centre for the Study of Fascism" (CINEF) whose aim was the promotion of Fascism while he served as its British correspondent.
Arnold Lesse has become close to one of his neighbours such as the economist
Arthur Kitson who is a member of
"The Britons" lead by Henry Hamilton Beamish as an
Anti-Jewish pioneer while Kitson persuaded Leese that control of money was the key to power while also the money was ultimately controlled by the Jewish people and then Kitson supplied him with a copy of the Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion book in which Leese explains the little book was true while he simply could not put it down until he had finished reading it but then the two men became friends until Kitson died at 1937.
Arnold Lesse was elected councillor to the Stamford Town Council along with
Harry Simpson becoming the first elected Fascist councillors in the United Kingdom but the "British Fascists" had generally chosen not to intervene in the despised democratic system while his own contempt for Democracy seems to have been paradoxically reinforced by the election so he says why he got voted by many people and the reason for this because he had cured their pigs or pets without the slightest idea about what the ideology stood as.
In 1925, Arnold Lesse along with Harry Simpson joined a splinter group called the "National Fascisti" lead by Henry Rippon-Seymour because Lesse was generally unsatisfied with the policies of the "British Fascists" dismissing the group as
Conservatism with knobs on but then In 1927, he published a piece of literature called "A Treatise on the One-Humped Camel in Health and in Disease" which remain a standard work in the British Raj later
India for 50 years and in May 1927, he founded a splinter group called the "Fascist League" from the remnants of the "National Fascisti" but then in October 1927, he stepped down as a councillor after having served a single term along with retiring from his job as a Veterinarian since June 1928.
In 1929, Arnold Lesse founded a political party called the "Imperial Fascist League" (IFL) while it was initially modelled more along the lines of Italian Fascism but under the influence of Henry Hamilton Beamish who served as vice-president began to focus on Anti-Semitism but then a
blackshirted paramilitary arm called the "Fascist Legions" was created while it was lead by Leslie H. Sherrard & then Erskine Tulloch and the political party initially advocated policies such as
Corporatism, monetary reform and the removal of citizenship from Jewish people while it has 150 to 500 members.
The "Imperial Fascist League" (IFL) including the extensive publishing interests were funded out of Arnold Leese's own pocket but then in April 27th 1932, Leese addressed the
"New Party" meeting lead by
Oswald Mosley on the theme of "The Blindness of British Politics under the Jew Money-Power" that was been chaired and then Oswald Mosley along with Robert Forgan approached to Leese for suggesting that the "Imperial Fascist League" should be merge into the "British Union of Fascists" but the offer was declined but then Leese soon attacked Mosley for his failure to deal with the "Jewish question" even dub the (BUF) into the "British Jewnion of Fascists" or
"Kosher Fascists" because of certain differences between the two political parties such the "Imperial Fascist League" that held a
biological view of Anti-Semitism as a belief that Jewish people were inherently inferior as a race but in contrast to the "British Union of Fascists" whose eventual adoption of Anti-Semitism was framed in ideas about Jewish people that supposed undue influence at the top echelons of society.
The "Imperial Fascist League" (IFL) soon shifted away from Italian Fascism after Arnold Leese visited to
Nazi Germany to met with
Julius Streicher but then its new programme wanted a
'Racial Fascist Corporate State' stressed in the supremacy of the Aryan race as the creator of civilisation with culture along with remodelled newspaper called "The Fascist" with the lines of "Der Stürmer" newspaper and the political party enjoyed a higher profile than its membership might suggest but in a large part due to the funding that it received from Nazi Germany paid through the English correspondent for the "Völkischer Beobachter" newspaper by Dr. Hans Wilhelm Thost.
In 1933, the "British Union of Fascists" (BUF) lead by Oswald Mosley decided to act against the renegade "Imperial Fascist League" (IFL) with a paramilitary unit called Stewards attacking a number of meetings but then the campaign culminated in an incident in Great Portland Street in London with 50 Stewards disguised as Communists invaded the stage to attack Arnold Leese before they caused considerable damage to the hall in an attempt to force a large repair bill onto him even the (BUF) passed fabricated evidence of an (IFL) plot to attack its headquarters to the home office and then in July 1935, Lesse along with printer Walter Whitehead published a newspaper issue of "The Fascist" entitled "Jewish Ritual Murder" which later appeared as a pamphlet by proposing the mass genocide of Jewish people by the use of gas chambers that earned him a prison sentence in 1936.
Arnold Lesse along with Walter Whitehead was charged along with six counts related to two articles published that lead to a fine for causing a public mischief but then Leese was jailed for six months for being convicted of this but after his release, he edited a pamphlet entitled "My Irrelevant Defence" as lengthy work in defence of his earlier claim that Jewish passover celebrations has included the sacrifice of
Christian children but also he used the materials distributed by the "Welt-Dienst" news service headed by Ulrich Fleischhauer while he wrote for it and then the "Imperial Fascist League" denounced Benito Mussolini as a Pro-Semite while claiming that the Second Italo-Ethiopian War (1935-1937) had been organised by Jews.
The "Imperial Fascist League" (IFL) was linked to the "Nordic League" lead by Captain Archibald Maule Ramsay through Commander E. H. Cole who is a staunch advocate of the book called The Protocols of the Elders of Zion served as chancellor of the group as well as being a leading member of the (IFL) but then in 1939, the influence of the "Imperial Fascist League" (IFL) was diminished but the rivalry had cooled to the point that the "British Union of Fascists" bookshop in Canterbury was prepared to stock (IFL) pamphlets and then when World War Two (1939-1945) has started Arnold Lesse declared loyalty to
King George VI while renaming the group into the "Angles Circle" but that stance was rejected by some Pro-German members such as Tony Gittens, Harold Lockwood & Bertie Mills.
In 1940, Arnold Leese was one of the last men of the Fascist movement to be interned in the United Kingdom during World War Two under the Defence Regulation 18B but he claimed that his primary loyalty was to Britain but had been somewhat critical of
Adolf Hitler while in June 1940, he reacted with bitter anger when an internment order was issued for him and before November 9th 1940, he set up a series of hideouts from which he published several pamphlets that were critical of the war while he was evaded capture until the end even he is enraged by what he saw as a slur on his
Patriotism.
Arnold Leese violently resisted arrest but then smashed up his holding cell as he saw the war as a "Jew's War" but also he strongly repudiated the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact while castigated Nazi Germany for the invasion of
Norway and then Leese labelled his political creed "Racial Fascism" because he disliked the term "National Socialism" which was used by the Nazi Germany during the war although he along with other members of the "Imperial Fascist League" supported Nazi Anti-Semitism.
In 1944, Arnold Leese was released from detention due to his health following a major operation but then after World War Two, he offered to testify at
William Joyce's trial along with preparing to give evidence on the Jewish issue at Nuremberg in defence of the German National Socialists while described the Nuremberg Trials as a Jewish &
Masonic affair like a procedure in the United Kingdom the Defence Regulation 18B as an act of revenge and then Leese set up his own "Jewish Information Bureau" for a reason.
Arnold Leese, began publishing his own journal called the "Gothic Ripples" which was largely concerned with attacking the Jewish people while he believed that there were 2.5 Million Jews in the United Kingdom but in reality there was only 410,000 Jews but also the journal contained a strongly
Anti-Black bent with a regular column entitled "REDACTED Notes" appearing and then in 1947, Leese returned to prison with a one year sentence long with seven other former members of the "Imperial Fascist League" for helping escaped German Waffen SS prisoners of war.
In 1948, Arnold Lesse formed the "National Workers Movement" while in December 1950 he stood trial for criminal libel on
Harold Scott who is commissioner of the Metropolitan Police but was acquitted but then in 1951, Lesse essentially retired from politics because of the rival leaders of the movement such as Tony Gittens & Anthony Baron and then he published his autobiography called the Out of Step: Events in the Two Lives of an Anti-Jewish Camel Doctor.
Arnold Lesse acted as mentor to
Colin Jordan & John Tyndall and then he died at London, England on January 18th 1956.
Darréism
Darréism is based on the thoughts of German Argentine political figure Ricardo Walther Óscar Darré.
He was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina on July 14th 1895 as
son of a
Huguenot Christian
merchant who is head of the
"Engelbert Hardt Hardt & Co" trading house named Richard Oskar Darré in which due to his job made his family moved to this certain
location since 1888 including his
wife named Emilia Berta Eleonore who had a
Swedish father named Theodor Erik Lagergren along with a mother named Josefina Margarete Thole while the siblings were Ilse Margarethe Irene who is married to Manfred von Knobelsdorff, Erna Carmen Mercedes who is married to Albert and even Erich Albert Adolf who lived in Villa General Belgrano, Calamuchita, Córdoba as a managing publishing director of "Reichsnahrstand Verlags GmbH" or the
"Blut Und Boden Verlag GmbH" being promoted into the
"Schutzstaffel" (SS) lead by
Heinrich Himmler but then it has been noticed that the father was as a partner of the
German
international import/export wholesaler of the company owned by Engelbert Hardt and the father was a hard
drinker
womanizer.
Richard Walther Darré's parents marriage was not a
happy one even at least he spent his prosperous
childhood in Belgrano being
educated in a German
private school after being
baptized since
birth until in 1909, the family were forced to return to Germany as a result of worsening
international relations before World War One (1914-1918) while he gained fluency in four languages such as
Spanish, German,
English &
French but then years ago in 1905, he went to Otto Kühne School located in Heidelberg, Urban, Karlsruhe,
Baden-Württemberg, Germany before attended King's College School located in Wimbledon, London, England,
United Kingdom since 1911 and in 1912, the rest of family lived in a high school located in Gummersbach, Oberbergischer Kreis, Cologne,
North Rhine-Westphalia.
In October 1914, Richard Walther Darré's family moved to a
colonial school located in Witzenhausen, Werra-Meißner-Kreis, Kassel at the south of Göttingen,
Lower Saxony which awakened his interest in
farming before being reported as a
solider of the
"Imperial German Army" lead by Erich von Falkenhayn being slightly wounded a number of times at the Western Front having fared better than most of his contemporaries while in November 11th 1918, he became a experienced
lieutenant briefly joined the
"Volunteer Division of Horse Guards" lead by Waldemar Pabst during the German Revolution (1918-1919) in
Berlin,
Prussia but then in 1920, he finished his studies as a colonial economist in Witzenhausen and in 1922, he married Alma Staadt who is a schoolfriend of his
sister Ilse in Goslar after moving into the University of Halle to continue his studies undertaking an agricultural degree specialising in
animal husbandry.
In March 5th 1923, Richard Walther Darré's first marriage have given birth to a daughter named Annelise Darré while in 1925, he continued his studies in agriculture with a focus on cattle breeding along with
inheritance issues in Gießen before doing more study in Halle,
Saxony-Anhalt completing it in with the diploma from but then worked for the
"East Prussian Stud Book For Warm Blood Trakehner Pedigree" located in Insterburg that is now Chernyakhovsk,
Kaliningrad,
Russia and in 1929, he completed his PhD studies that made him spend some time working in East Prussia or
Finland.
Richard Walther Darré wanted to return to Argentina for a life of farming in which it did not happened due to the family's weakening financial position during the years of
inflation made this impossible so he obtained unpaid work as a farm assistant in
Pomerania as his observation of the treatment of returning German
soldiers there influenced his later writings while he joined the
"Artaman League" lead by August Georg Kenstler began to develop the idea of the link between the
future of the
Nordic
race with the
soil as the tendency which became known as "Blood And Soil" where blood represents racial ancestry with the soil expresses the concepts of land territory even the essence of the theory involved the
mutual long-term relationship between a
people and the land that they occupy or
cultivate but then in 1926, he made his first political article known as
"Internal Colonisation" that argued against Germany attempting to regain its lost colonies in
Africa as most of his writing at that time however concentrated on
technical aspects of animal breeding and in 1928, he wrote his first
book known as "Peasantry as the life-source of the Nordic Race" asserted that German farms had previously been bestowed on one son as the
strongest ensuring the best were farmers in which partible inheritance had destroyed that.
Richard Walther Darré demanded the restoration of the
ancient
tradition with the serious efforts to restore the purity of Nordic blood through
eugenics while Anna Bramwell interprets his writing as an early example of
Green Conservationist thinking as Darré advocated more
natural methods of land
management before placing emphasis on the
conservation of forests with demanding more open space or air in the raising of farm animals but then certain scholars have challenged that view for example an unknown person sees Bramwell's books as devoid of credible evidence containing "gross errors and another acknowledges Bramwell's biography as undoubtedly the best single source on Darré in either German or English even at the same time saying that he "Consistently downplays the virulently
Fascist elements in his thinking as portraying him instead as a misguided agrarian
radical".
Richard Walther Darré have Heinrich Himmler who is a member of the "Artaman League" lead by August Georg Kenstler agreed with his ideas while Darré's work glorified peasant virtues as found in the remnants of the Nordics who lived in the country that disparaged
city living but then in his two major works defined the German peasantry as a homogeneous racial group of Nordic antecedents who formed the cultural and racial core of the German nation and promoted the
idea that since the Nordic
birth rate was lower than that of other races as the Nordic race was under a long term threat of
extinction.
In 1927, Richard Walther Darré with a mandate from the
"Reich Ministry of Food and Agriculture" (RMEL) lead by Martin Schiele as an expert for animal breeding in Finland as his writings was influenced by
Hans F. K. Günther while in 1928, he was on behalf of the "East Prussian Chamber of Agriculture" in Riga,
Latvia active but then he glorified two types of classes with the two volumes such as "The Peasantry As A Source Of Life For The Nordic Breed" and the
bourgeoisie in "Neo-Needle Blood And soil" (1930) but then he regarded this as the racial center of the German people with the postulated the restoration of agriculture from a racial
spiritual point of view as a prerequisite for restoring the racial qualities of the German people that have decayed as a result of
Industrialization and he was still concerned with showing alleged differences of the Germanic with the
Slavic races in their permanence or their peasant character as he hoped with the second book known as the "The Peasantry As A Source Of Life For The Nordic Breed" to prove that the inner structure of the old German society had a functional character in mythical times even as a consequence called for the re-punishment of Germany with the creation or selection of a new
nobility with the best racial characteristics.
Richard Walther Darré wanted to exterminating the sick or impure while a year later in 1927, he divorced his wife but then in July 1930, he met with
Adolf Hitler with along Paul Schultze-Naumburg after the mediation received an offer to a department dedicated to the
rural world of the
"National Socialist German Workers Party" (NSDAP) that lead him to became Hitler's advisor on agricultural affairs being head of the "Reich Office for Agricultural Policy" in the Reichsleiter and in 1931, he married to Charlotte Freiin Von Vietinghoff-Scheel who is the daughter of
Freiherr von Vietinghoff-Scheel who is an
emigre to Germany who lost his lands in the Baltics to the
Russian Empire that later lost his farm in Germany through the
Great Depression (1929-1939).
In May 1930, Heinrich Himmler has been promoting Richard Walther Darré since they become friends as they both shared ideas for raising a pure German breed thus linked the concept of the
Germanic as an arable settler as they both wanted to use a new pure-bred peasantry that would become a new German nobility while in September 14th 1931, Darré who had the apparatus of specialist advisers that came from Munich, Upper Bavaria,
Bavaria should take suggestions from below to forward them at the headquarters in order to develop a special political ideological program for the rural population even
historian Gustavo Corni points out that the successes of the "National Socialist German Workers Party" (NSDAP) lead by Adolf Hitler during the 1930 German
federal election achieved above all in the country but cannot be attributed to Darré's
activity since its agricultural policy apparatus was still under construction so instead it was a protest election and in December 31st 1931, he headed the newly founded "Main Breed And Settlement Office" (RuSHA) within the "Schutzstaffel" (SS).
The "Main Breed And Settlement Office" (RuSHA) lead by Richard Walther Darré was responsible for racial examinations along with marriage permits for members of the "Schutzstaffel" (SS) lead by Richard Walther Darré while in January 1935, it was later referred to as the "Race And Settlement Office" as it was run as the SS main office but then in connection with the formation of the "Reich Commissioner For The Consolidation Of German Nationhood" (RKFDV) with the elaboration of the "General Plan East" (GPO) took on the tasks of racial selection of the
populations of the occupied
territories with the selection of candidates for the planned settlement of dismissed SS members in the east and members of the (RuSHA) are listed in names such as Günther Pancke, Otto Hofmann, Richard Hildebrandt, George Ebrecht, Götz Berens von Rautenfeld, Fritz Schwalm, Bruno Kurt Schultz, Hermann Reischle, Erich Karl, Walter Dongus, Otto Heider, Wilhelm Osiander, Arthur Gütt, Bernd von Kanne, Andreas Söchting, Heinrich Thole, Fritz Kalkhofen, Wilhelm Freiherr von Holzschuher, Werner Willikens,
Herbert Backe, Curt von Gottberg and even Ernst Tesseraux until in September 12th 1938, Darré left the office replacing with Pancke.
When the "National Socialist German Workers Party" (NSDAP) lead by Adolf Hitler have its rural populations were extremely limited with a few exceptions as Richard Walther Darré was a consultant on
agricultural issues in the Reichsleitung while the (NSDAP) at that time have their own agricultural policy to concretize the concept even in that propaganda including calculus were originally from August Georg Kenstler summarized idea that the party must organizationally grasp the agricultural sector but then Darré was able to implement effectively within a year not at least due to the infiltration of the Reichslandbund (RLB) lead by Wilhelm Meinberg and a year ago in 1929, Darré Kenstler & Hans Severus Ziegler went into Weimar, Thuringia to set up an agricultural policy center from there one over the whole
rich expanding the rural people's movement to organize.
Richard Walther Darré with its political concept in which essentially conquers the entire agricultural milieus on the basis of a massive influence on the formation of wills in the country while in August 1st 1930, he formed the
"Agricultural Policy Department" (APA) at the "NS Reich Organization Management II" in Munich but then in August 15th 1930, from a memorandum written by him with the title "Draft Plan: Expansion Of An Agricultural Policy Network Across The Reichsgebiet" shows that he wanted an organization that consistently propagated the programmatic guidelines of the party down to the most remote corner of the
empire and he suggested that everyone political leader the "National Socialist German Workers Party" (NSDAP) lead by Adolf Hitler should receive a agricultural consultant from the Gau to the town.
In August 21st 1930, Richard Walther Darré convinced
Konstantin Hierl who is the later leader of the "Reich Labour Service" (RAD) about his plan of specialist advisors having a task by letting their superiors in the political organization to support in the political daily struggle to share their experiences on site with the "Munich Department of Agriculture" to report so that the incoming
material sighted that can be made accessible to all agricultural advisors in the Reich as a matter of agricultural policy experience in the domestic struggle while in October 1st 1930, Darré's ideas were implemented with his request to everyone to appoint an agricultural specialist advisor whereby the same if possible for the districts should apply but then Darrés was rejected in the memorandum in each Gau a full-time employed agricultural consultant and instead the selection to be made by the Gauleitern should be made by farmers who appear to be reliable who work as specialist advisors voluntary were willing to exercise.
Richard Walther Darré along with Konstantin Hierl selection was based on precise guidelines only those specialist advisors who enjoyed the trust of their professional colleagues along with the local political leadership of the "National Socialist German Workers Party" (NSDAP) lead by Adolf Hitler could become while other conditions were that the agricultural consultant was close, mentally active and even eveb agile so the latter in particular because he Darré was both a fellow party to the party questions by telling how party comrades should be able to represent agricultural issues depending on the ability as the areas of activity should be defined in stages in order to be able to react quickly to press attacks while the agricultural specialist advisor should also have a certain agility in the area of writing but then Richard Arauner who has a friend of Darré was managed to the extent that the
"Agricultural Gaufachberater" (LGF) were classified in a fixed hierarchical system of the respective responsibilities in the agricultural policy area and it was headed by the "Agricultural Reichsleitfachberater" (LRF) in which agricultural district specialist advisors were subordinate to the Gaufach advisors even all of whom were given command such as the "Agricultural Local Group Specialist" (LOF), the "Section Specialist Advisor" (AFB) and even numerous agricultural shop stewards.
In September 1931, the "Agricultural Gaufachberater" (LGF) were used to deal with structural differences in the population in terms of mentality,
religious affiliation or any other things of the German people in the larger areas while in the network of responsibilities of Richard Arauner made the agricultural district specialist advisors had the task of coordinating the cooperation between the (LGF) advisors depending on the position of a specialist advisor in this system that Darré was always subordinate to the respective political leader in analogous to the political organization of the "National Socialist German Workers Party" (NSDAP) lead by Adolf Hitler as this meant that he was subordinate to the (LGF) ideally should be in close consultation with him but then in addition the (LGF) received its instructions from the Darré in which was allowed to correspond directly to the (APA) in Munich regardless of the (LGF) and in order to ensure a clear flow of orders have the agricultural district specialist advisors, (LKF), (LOF) & (LVL) had no instructions from the local party offices but only from the (LGF).
In December 18th 1931, Werner Willikens after the Chamber of Agriculture elections being a deputy of Richard Walther Darréwas elected to the
presidium of the "Agricultural League" so that from then on the "National Socialist German Workers Party" (NSDAP) lead by Adolf Hitler was a direct one influence could exercise on the covenant as their strategy was primarily aimed at attracting people to their interests who were highly regarded by the peasant population while in turn should make themselves socially acceptable therefore selectable as it were to serve as the opener of the peasant milieu but then in August 24th 1932, Darrés's literature "Guidelines For The Campaign In The Country" shows that he deliberately did not rely on monotonous phrases or repulsive abuse of the political opponent even on unofficial unobtrusive talks from neighbor to neighbor until farmer to farmer since the farmer wants to discuss or speak about the problem that concerns him in peace so therefore he focused on the small work by advertising from mouth to mouth and around mid-1932, the network of agricultural advisors was already so large that with 10,000 employees as the squads of other political parties were neither quantitative nor qualitative even remote ones became objects of political agitation hamlet being not left out.
In 1932, Richard Walther Darré have 34 district consultants worked under grains around 1100 (LVL) along with 40 agricultural speakers as there was a department of agriculture in Nazi controlled Gau Saxony in which nine auxiliary speakers with seven
clerks were employed even one of the auxiliary speakers was responsible for the
journalistic "Daily Struggle" by providing the provincial press with agitator contributions before if necessary used counterattacks while the clerks were among others for the agricultural
cooperative system for Chamber questions made the Landbund responsible and then Hellmut Körner wrote "The entire apparatus is strong centralized and I can say that there is nothing in Saxony in terms of agricultural policy that I would not immediately become aware of. So the opponent becomes perfect monitored. On the other hand, it is of course also possible for me to provide the entire agriculture of Saxony with a specific message within 24 hours and to shoot appropriate arrows. The good connections that I have created give me a look at all agricultural organizations in Saxony and even up to the Minister of Economy
Alfred Hugenberg who was leader of the "Reich Ministry of Food and Agriculture" (RMEL)".
Richard Walther Darré founded the monthly magazine "German Agricultural Policy" to propagated his ideas about peasant nobility while he is given the rank of SS-Gruppenführer but then in March 13th 1932, he was in the 1932 German presidential election engaged in a campaign of
Anti-Semitic harassment against Theodor Duesterberg who is the candidate of the
"German National People's Party" (DNVP) lead by Alfred Hugenberg as Duesterberg emerged during the campaign being the grandson of a
Jewish convert to
Lutheranism even he was so wounded by Darré's attacks that he challenged him to a
duel as a challenge that Darré declined under the grounds that it was beneath him to fight a
man with Jewish blood and Duesterberg then took up his dispute with Darré before the court of honor of the former officers of the
"1st Hanoverian Field Artillery Regiment of Scharnhorst" on which Darré belonged before the
court ruled in Darré's favor.
In July 31st 1932, Richard Walther Darré was first elected to the Reichstag to serve as a deputy until the fall of the regime even he was not part of the first coalition government headed by Adolf Hitler while he accused
Christianity with its teaching of the
equality of men before God of having deprived the
Teutonic nobility of its
moral foundations with the removal innate sense of superiority over the nomadic
tribes but then in June 30th 1933, Darré becomes leader of the "Reich Ministry of Food and Agriculture" (RMEL) after replacing Alfred Hugenberg in which Darré concurrently was made Prussian Minister of Agriculture because he was subsequently named to the
"Prussian State Council" by
Hermann Göring and in May 1933, Darré was made Reich farmers leader aka Reichsbauernführer.
In December 1932, Richard Walther Darré who established the "Reich Office for Agricultural Policy" which was put under the direction of his own work have the agricultural policy apparatus was integrated into the department known as "Personnel & Organization" in which the office consisted of the departments such as
Agricultural Economics, Press & Advertising, Farm Training, Farm Culture and even Settlement while he settled with Erwin Metzner, Hermann Reischle and many other employees around Berlin about but then a year ago there was a special meaning came since 1931 when Herbert Backe's ideas shaped the ideas developed for the (aA) especially with regard to a basic concept for the renovation of agriculture, strong and it have been methodically implemented step by step over time and then with regard to what is sought within the framework of the Nazi agricultural policy known as
autarky that Backe followed a
pragmatic course.
Richard Walther Darré had placed emphasis on the development of a corps spirit within the framework of a strictly
hierarchical order of followers in which made it difficult to integrate his officials into the structure of the "National Socialist German Workers Party" (NSDAP) lead by Adolf Hitler while it overlaps in competence, discrepancies and even internal parties resulting from this area of tension conflicts led so far that the (aA) as a special organization in the party structure as a subsidiary government was suspected while the conflicts as a result of the
Strasser crisis which at the beginning of 1933 led to the "Office for Agricultural Policy" being freed from dependence on the "Reich Organization Department" even Hitler being placed directly under it but then the intra-party conflict was exacerbated in the aftermath by the fact that the agricultural Gau along with district specialist advisors held the office of the
state or having the district farmers leader in a personnel
union exercised and in January 1933, an order has been issued according to which the personal union was granted a power to participate in personnel policy so in this way the conflicts between the members of the agricultural policy apparatus with the "Agricultural Gaufachberater" (LGF) and the personal union were transferred to the office due to its status as public law made the
corporation reinforced.
In June 2nd 1933, Adolf Hitler made Richard Walther Darré into Reichsleiter of the "National Socialist German Workers Party" (NSDAP) become a founding member of the "Academy for German Law" lead by Hans Frank since October 1933 while in November 1933, he is honorary president of the "German Agricultural Society" (DLG) lead by Hubertus Paetow but then Darré went on to set up an agrarian political apparatus to recruit farmers into the party operating along three main directives to exploit unrest in the countryside as a weapon against urban governments to win over the farmers as staunch Nazi supporters to gain a constituency of people to be used as settlers displacing the Slavs in future land grabs in
Eastern Europe and historian Klaus Hildebrand described Darré together with Heinrich Himmler &
Alfred Rosenberg as one of the leaders of the agrarian fraction within the (NSDAP) who championed
Anti-Industrial Anti-Urban "Blood And Soil" ideology expansion into Eastern Europe to gain
Lebensraum with an alliance with Great Britain to defeat the
Soviet Union even with staunch opposition to restoring the pre-1914 German colonial empire.
The "Reichsnahrstand" (RNST) lead by Richard Walther Darré have disputes between his own group, the "German Labour Front" (DAF) lead by Robert Ley and even the "Gauleitern" during World War Two (1939-1945) have eroded organizational self-government over the year while the organization have a headquarters located in Goslar in polycratic organized National Socialist system of rule a policy as semi-state institution before the
war but then the "Reich Ministry of Food and Agriculture" (RMEL) along with the "Reich Office for Agricultural Policy" stood all persons on the same level who were involved in the production or sale of agricultural products even organizationally as this was achieved by dividing the (RNST) into country, district and even local farmers as each from one in which the farm guide were checked and institutional were agricultural from standardization
Cooperatives,
Market associations and even associations affected.
In September 13th 1933, the "Reichsnahrstand" (RNST) lead by Richard Walther Darré had its deputy leader Herbert Backe with the act on the provisional development of the
imperial nutritional status such as section 2 of the law states for example the "Reich Ministry of Food and Agriculture" (RMEL) can authorize the (RNST) or some of its groups, production & sales as well as
regulate the prices and price ranges of agricultural products if this is in line with the interests of overall economy and the common good appears required while in September 26th 1933, Darré was authorized to set fixed prices for cereals but then December 8th 1933 was followed by the basic "First Ordinance on the Provisional Structure of the Imperial Nutrition" which was differentiated in 1934 Market organization in all areas of agriculture connected and the National Socialists were now faced with the task of winning the peasants in the Southern German or
Catholic areas in order to give their rule a stable basis or their "Blood And Soil" program to realize.
The "Reichsnahrstand" (RNST) lead by Richard Walther Darré managed to get all the well-known farmers associations to unite the influential the
"Association of Christian Farmers" into the Reichsführer community with the law on the provisional development of the imperial nutritional status, all persons and even companies active in agriculture,
fishing & horticulture were brought into line in which the "Chamber of Agricultureforcibly" united while the Reich territory was divided into 26 state peasantry with he district or the hierarchical underneath were the local peasantry with their respective local farmers leaders as these measures should also stop the rural
exodus but then between 1933 to 1939, jobs in agriculture decreased by 440,000 to 1.4 million people with another goal was to control production, sales & prices in the agricultural sector and to a certain extent have the regime succeeded in increasing Germany's self-sufficiency share from 68 percent in 1928 to 83 percent in 1938 even there was also an increase in production before higher prices of agricultural products in Germany compared to
world market prices.
In January 1935, Richard Walther Darré have the disputes between the "Reich Ministry of Food and Agriculture" (RMEL) & the Gauleitungen to
Rudolf Hess setting up a order on the relationship between the imperial nutritional status and the "National Socialist German Workers Party" (NSDAP) lead by Adolf Hitler while on the one hand have Hess prohibited all party divisions from interfering with the factual To carry out tasks of the imperial nutritional status with which he focused on ensuring the food base of the German people even on the other hand stated "During the personal influence of the party's sovereigns on the "Reich Office for Agricultural Policy" as an institution of the party is directly guaranteed should also in future new appointments from local, district and
regional farmers leaders of the imperial nutritional status only take place in consultation with the responsible Gauleiter." but however this decision did not lead to an end to the competence rules and the "Reichsnahrstand" (RNST) have 15 magazines published such as the "German Commercial Horticulture", the "German Forester", the "German Viticulture", the "German Agricultural Cooperative Newspaper", the "German Fishing Industry", the "Forage Production & Fermentation Feed Preparation", the "Country People In The Saddle", the "Notices For Agriculture", the "NS Land Mail", the "Law of the Reich Soreign", the "Announcement Sheet of the Reichsnahrstand", the "Weekly Newspaper of the State Peasantry of Saxony", the "Magazine for Fruit, Wine & Horticulture", the "Service News of the Reichsnahrstand" and even the "German Landwife" edited by Anne-Marie Koeppen.
The "Reichsnahrstand" (RNST) lead by Richard Walther Darré have five Agricultural textbook series published by Karl Marquis since 1935 such as "The Floor" by Otto Tornau, "The Plants" by Alfred Heyl, "Doctrine" by Artur Schürmann, "Peasantry" by Johann von Leers and even "Livestock Farming & Feeding" by Peter Carstens & Alexander Werner while Darré's "Blood And Soil" policy held that German land was bound perhaps
mystically to German blood as the peasants were the Nazi cultural heroes who held charge of German racial stock along with German history as when a memorial of a
medieval peasant uprising was the occasion for a speech by Darré praising them as a force purifier of German history but then the ideology of Agrarianism was asserted as the only way to truly understand the natural order and Darré pointed out that urban culture was decried as a weakness being labelled asphalt culture that partially coded as resulting from Jewish influence being depicted as a weakness that only the Adolf Hitler will could eliminate.
Richard Walther Darré's doctrine contributed to the Nazi ideal of a
woman as a sturdy
peasant who worked the land at the same time bore strong
children contributing to praise for athletic women
tanned by outdoor work as that country women gave birth to more children than city ones was also a factor in the support while
Carl Schmitt argued that a people would develop laws appropriate to its racial drams because authenticity required loyalty to the
Volk over abstract universals but then a monthly publication known as "Neues Volk" edited by Walter Gross displayed Anti-Semitic demographic charts to deplore the alleged destruction of
Aryan families farmland along with claiming that the Jews were eradicating
traditional German peasantry posters for schools depicted the flight of people from the countryside to the city and the "German National Catechism" a propaganda widely used in schools, spun tales of how farmers supposedly lost ancestral lands and had to move to the city with all its demoralizing effects.
Richard Walther Darré's agrarian fraction took the view that
Wilhelmine Imperialism had taken Germany in the wrong direction by colonizing lands that were unsuitable for mass colonization by German settlers that had unwisely antagonized Britain while stated the lesson that the Nazi Agrarians drew from the German Empire was that Germany must focus its ambitions to the continent of
Europe in order to win an alliance with Britain with land suitable for German Colonization but then he campaigned for big landowners to part with some of their land to create new farms before promoted the controversial Hereditary Farm Law aka Reichserbhofgesetz in which forcibly converted most of the country's small farms from 7.5 to 125 hectares or 19 to 309 acres into hereditary estates that were to be passed from father to son under the ancient laws of entailment even the law protected small farmers from foreclosure with the ordeal of repossession as it also tied them or their descendants to their hereditary farm forever not allowing it to be
alienated nor mortgaged.
Richard Walther Darré was at a certain agricultural school located in Burg Neuhaus, Upper Austria,
Austria after the German invasion of Austria aka Anschluss since March 13th 1938 in which he with the
"National Socialist League of the Reich for Physical Exercise" (NSRL) lead by Hans von Tschammer und Osten while appointed the photographers such as Anna Koppitz along with sports photographer Hanns Spudich to produce pictures of the hand-picked young peasant farmers exercising for Rudolf Bode's "Neuhaus Gymnastik" magazine but then it has been noticed that Darré strongly influenced Himmler in his goal to create a German racial aristocracy based on selective breeding even the extreme Nazi policies of eugenics would lead to the
annihilation of millions of non-Germans during the Eastern Front in World War Two (1939-1945) and although Darré was considered one of the few Nazi ministers who knew his field well was generally on bad terms with Economy Minister
Hjalmar Schacht particularly as Germany suffered poor harvests in the mid-1930s.
The "Reich Office for Agricultural Policy" lead by Richard Walther Darré produced the short propaganda film "Blut Und Boden" in which was displayed at Nazi party meetings as well as in public cinemas throughout Germany with other films similar likewise stressed the commonality of Germanness through the countryside while Darré was a friend of the
"Hitler Youth" (HJ) lead by Baldur von Schirach who supported his political writings that guided agricultural policies but then it has been noticed that Darré wanted to replace the
slaves because he wanted to replace the Baltics as well and in August 30th 1938, his second wife give birth to Elin Darré as she lived in Stockholm with two
female relatives of the Lagergren family after World War two (1939-1945).
In January 1st 1935, the "Reich Forestry Office" lead by Walter von Keudell with help from Hermann Göring in which the organization was created as the supreme Reich authority for forestry, hunting, timber industry, nature conservation and the preservation of natural monuments was merged with the "Reich Ministry of Food and Agriculture" (RMEL) lead by Richard Walther Darré mixed with the "Prussian State Forestry Office" while in May 10th 1935, Heinrich Himmler named Darré chief of his own organization but then it has been noticed that Darré would belong to the
Paganist faction within the National Socialist movement and unlike Himmler or Alfred Rosenberg because it has been known that Darré has not become a figure of interest in the speculation about
National Socialist Occultism.
In 1937, the "Reich Ministry of Food and Agriculture" (RMEL) lead by Richard Walther Darré have Friedrich Alpers as a new member of the organization while from 1934 to 1935, Darré's own little group known as the "Agricultural Vocational & Technical School System" was transferred to the "Reich Ministry of Science, Education and Culture" lead by Bernhard Rust with the veterinary medicine was transferred to the "Reich Ministry of the Interior" lead by Wilhelm Frick but then in September 22nd 1938, the decree of the Reich minister have all research institutes in the fisheries sector were consolidated in the "Reich Institute for Fisheries".
In September 1938, Heinrich Himmler came into conflict with Richard Walther Darré due to plans of promoting rural settlements in the empire against the Slavic East before in May 23th 1942, Darré was later placed on an extended leave of absence as Reich Minister ostensibly on health grounds as his duties were assumed by Herbert Backe who becomes the leader of the "Reich Ministry of Food and Agriculture" (RMEL) since April 6th 1944 while in 1939, he contacted Anna Koppitz who lived in Vienna being engaged the as a widow of the renowned art photographer Rudolf Koppitz with whom she had worked intensively until his
death to take pictures of his beloved project in which was to photograph the pupils of the "Reich School of the Reich Food for Physical Exercise" located in Wolfsburg declared objective of the institute was to create racial models by selecting gymnasts from farmer families where Darré saw the future of the German people even Koppitz’s photographs were to play a central role in the dissemination of this model but then it has been noticed it was not a farm school because instead the courses lasted several weeks the opportunity to get in exercise with floor exercises, ball exercises, athletics and even folk dances to continue training as the participating students who were selected through strict selection were considered elite the Nordic breed and in December 9th 1940, he give a speech in "Life Magazine" stated "By blitzkrieg before autumn we shall be the absolute masters of two continents as a new aristocracy of German masters will be created with slaves assigned to it as these slaves to be their
property and to consist of landless non-German nationals as we actually have in mind a modern form of medieval slavery which we must and will introduce because we urgently need it in order to fulfil our great tasks. These slaves will by no means be denied the blessings of illiteracy higher education will in future be reserved only for the German population of Europe".
In April 14th 1945, Richard Walther Darré who spent the last years of World War Two (1939-1945) in a hunting lodge in the Schorfheide, Barnim, Brandenburg was arrested by the
American authorities that interned him at the Flak-Kaserne Ludwigsburg barracks located in Ludwigsburg, Stuttgart in which they tried him at the Nuremberg Trials (1945-1946) as one of 21 defendants in the Ministries Trial (1947–1949) leading to Darré being sentenced to seven years at Landsberg Prison located in Landsberg am Lech, Oberbayern for confiscating the property of
Polish farmers and Jewish farmers even ordering German Jews to refuse basic
food thereby extradite civilians to hunger but in April 14th 1949, Darré was in Wilhelmstrasse process for crimes against
humanity,
looting and even membership in one
criminal organization sentenced to seven years in prison and in 1950, he was released spending his final years in Bad Harzburg, Goslar.
List of crimes that Richard Walther Darré committed during the Ministries Trial (1947–1949):

In September 5th 1953, Richard Walther Darré died in a Munich hospital of liver cancer in Upper Bavaria at which he is buried at an old cemetery located in Hildesheimer Straße, Goslar while Hartwig von Rheden took 1,000 mourners of Goslar at the funeral with Mayor Alexander Grundner-Culemann along with Chief City Director Helmut Schneider attended the funeral service even the location paid the funeral expenses even Pastor Lindemann had interrupted his stay at a
spa in southern Germany in which had just begun in order to give the deceased his final blessing as he had wished. "It is very difficult, the minister said to recognize the love of God in a moment of pain." but then it have been noticed that Darré was a member of the senate from the "Kaiser Wilhelm Society" (KWG) since 1937 and back to the funeral in which numerous farmers from around Germany had gathered to express their bond with Darré who is now finally resting in
peace forever.
National Socialism Association/Taiwanese Nazism
The National Socialism Association (NSA) was created by Hsu Na-chi and Chao Lahn, citing dissatisfaction towards the political factions in Taiwan as one of the factors of founding the NSA. The association stresses on the "restoration of Confucianism" and "fostering greater nationalism in Taiwan", while denying claims of antisemitism and racism despite Confucianism and Nazism are contradictory and incompatible, specifically in terms on stances towards meritocracy.
Any ideology I don't like

Ideology I don't like is literally
Hitler
Personality
Nazism is typically portrayed as easily annoyed and quickly prone to violence. He is incredibly anti-semitic and will also often kill anyone who calls him a "leftist", as well as any other ideology he does not identify with. He speaks with a thick, stereotypical German (or in several cases, Austrian) accent.
Stylistic Notes
Nazism can be depicted as a talented and compelling villain, antagonist of the year, 80 years running apart from being a stereotypical yandere. However, he could also be depicted just as easily as a raving, incoherent, opportunistic maniac. His weapon of choice is the stylish Luger Pistole Parabellum or occasionally a flammenwerfer.
How to Draw
[!] Note: Some countries and social media platforms (especially Facebook) banned Nazi imageries such as this flag, therefore for the censored version, replace the swastika with the Iron Cross/+/f letter (Refer Polandball guidelines on drawing swastika)/Poorly-drawn swastika (refer Hale Hortler meme) symbol.
The flag is based on the flag of Nazi Germany, used between 1933 to 1945 or the party flag of the NSDAP.
- Draw a ball.
- Fill the ball in with red.
- Add a white circle in the middle.
- Draw a black Hakenkreuz, also known as a Swastika, inside the white circle.
- Draw the eyes.
- OPTIONAL: Draw Hitler's peak cap/Stahlhelm/Wehrmacht military cap and you're done.

Thought Chinese are Eastern Juden.Staats-Shinto - I zaid eine kouple of zings in your favor: "Why didn't we have the religion of the Japanese, who regard sacrifice for the Fatherland as the highest good?" + "It is very curious that devout Christians like the British and the Americans should, despite their constant and fervent prayers, receive such a series of hidings from the pagan Japanese! It rather looks as if the real God takes no notice of the prayers offered day and night by the British and the Americans, but reserves His mercies for the heroes of Japan. It is not surprising that this should be so, for the religion of the Japanese is above all a cult of heroism, and its heroes are those who do not hesitate to sacrifice their lives for the glory and safety of their country. The Christians, on the other hand, prefer to honour the Saints, that is to say, a man who succeeds in standing on one leg for years at a time, or one who prefers to lie on a bed of thorns rather than to respond to the smiles of inviting maidens. There is something very unhealthy about Christianity."

Notes
- ↑ “Then I realized in the depth of my being that the German bourgeoisie was at the end of its mission and not called upon for any further task.” —
Adolf Hitler, Mein Kampf
- ↑ “In proportion as economic life grew to be the dominant mistress of the state, money became the god whom all had to serve and to whom each man had to bow down. More and more, the gods of heaven were put into the corner as obsolete and outmoded, and in their stead incense was burned to the idol Mammon. . . .” —
Adolf Hitler, Mein Kampf, Vol I, Chapter X
- ↑ Hitler took many inspirations from Darwin's theory of evolution and appropriated it in shaping his racial Darwinist view of human history, though he wasn't familiar with Darwin until after 1923. And yet, while Hitler believed that evolutionary theory justified his destructive and oppressive vision, this does not undermine the theory's basis; what people do with an idea has no bearing on the scientific validity of that idea. Using Hitler's supposed belief in evolution as an argument against evolutionary science is an example of the logical fallacy of an argument from adverse consequences, suggesting that we should not accept the theory of evolution because it could lead to the kind of racist views perpetuated by Hitler. It is also an example of the post hoc ergo propter hoc fallacy, implying that because Darwin's theory came into being before Hitler's racism, the former necessarily caused the latter. Even if there were connections between the theory of evolution, social Darwinism and the Holocaust, this does not imply that evolution is a dangerous theory, only that Hitler perverted the theory to justify his beliefs and actions.
- ↑ Throughout World War II, Hitler often compared himself to Frederick II the Great, and he kept a copy of Anton Graff's portrait of Frederick with him to the end in the Führerbunker in Berlin.
- ↑ Although he both privately and publicly hated capitalism in his understanding, Hitler held admiration towards Henry Ford and his antisemitism. "I wish I could send some of my shock troops to Chicago and other big American cities to help in the elections. We look on Heinrich Ford as the leader of the growing fascist movement in America. We admire particularly his anti-Jewish policy which is the Bavarian fascist platform."
- ↑ According to leftists and some historians.
- ↑ TIKhistory believes that Hitler held Gnostic views, though it is rather debatable.
- ↑ Hitler believed in the idea of a strongman, Übermensch, etc.
- ↑ "Of course, the latter made no secret of his attitude toward the Jewish people, and when necessary he even took the whip to drive from the temple of the Lord this adversary of all humanity, who then as always saw in religion nothing but an instrument for his business existence. In return, Christ was nailed to the cross, while our present-day party Christians debase themselves to begging for Jewish votes at elections and later try to arrange political swindles with atheistic Jewish parties - and this against their own nation." -
Adolf Hitler, Mein Kampf
- ↑ Hitler would refer to himself as a "True Socialist" and claimed that he was taking the word back from the Marxists. It is worth noting, however, that both Hitler himself and the National Socialist ideology as a whole regarded the word "socialism" as a synonym for the word "nationalism".
- ↑ Ernst Thälmann and the Communist Party of Germany targeted Social Democrat politicians instead because they thought Nazis coming to power would accelerate the collapse of capitalism, which at the time seemed preferable to the slow and reformist nature of moderate Marxists in the SDP

- ↑ At least on a domestic level, most of the Nazi party, including Hitler himself, rejected capitalism for being a “Jewish conspiracy” in the same level as communism, especially ideologically. Instead, they believed in class collaboration via the Volksgemeinschaft. Ironically, when it came to foreign policy, the Nazis weren’t above working with businessmen sympathetic to their cause if it helped them achieve their political goals. A well-known example would be Henry Ford.
- ↑ I had to warn followers repeatedly against these German folklore-ish wandering scholars who never accomplished anything positive or practical, except to cultivate their own overflowing self-conceit. A new movement must guard itself against an influx of people whose only recommendation is their own declaration... It's typical of such people that they rant about ancient Teutonic heroes of the dim and distant ages, stone axes, battle spears, and shields; whereas in reality they themselves are the biggest cowards imaginable. Those very same people who brandish Teutonic tin swords and wear tanned bearskins, with ox horns mounted over their bearded faces... scatter when the first communist cudgel appears. Posterity will have little occasion to write a new epic about their heroic existence...And yet these comedians are extremely proud of themselves. Notwithstanding their proven incompetence, they pretend to know everything better than other people-so much so that they become a real plague to all sincere and honest patriots, to whom not only the heroism of the past is worthy of honor, but who also feel bound to leave examples of their own work for the inspiration of posterity. — Adolf Hitler, Mein Kampf
- ↑ While his ideas concerning race were influential, it should be noted that Spengler was against the racist biology of Nazism and its policies based on the distinction between the "Aryan" and Jewish races. He considered antisemitism to be a simplistic solution to the problems of the time. Spengler's books were banned during the Third Reich. His metaphysical vision of race can be presented as independent from National Socialism.
- ↑ While Hitler despised the Freikorps' lack of centralization, their ideas helped shape Nazi thought, and many former Freikorps members joined the Nazis, despite others opposing them.
- ↑ Especially the Herero genocide, which inspired the concentration camps.
