Early Nazis and the Mystical Connection P1.

 As early as  March 1921 Hitler asserted: struggle against Bolshevism in Russia means the eradication (Ausrottung) of the Jews! 

Since he considered Jews the archenemies of Aryans, often describing them as disease-causing bacillus, they were the special targets of his wrath. His irrational fixation on Jews and their alleged conspiracy to dominate the world conjured up the most bizarre associations. Not only were Jewish communists masterminding the Bolshevik takeover of Europe, but Jewish capitalists were the driving force behind Churchill and Roosevelt. 

As we have seen so far in this end June 2003 article series on SESN, the "Final Solution" developed as a postwar mixture of voelkisch-redemptive German and radical White Russian conspiratorial-apocalyptic thought, combining notions of Germanic racial and spiritual superiority. 

Earlier studies about Hitler already argued that Hitler had a consistent world-view: 

A) strengthening the Aryan race through eugenics measures; and B) winning the struggle against the non-Aryan races, necessitating a strong military. (1) 

White Russian ideologues in Aufbau and some of their voelkisch colleagues like Dietrich  Eckart also exhibited a tendency to cast the crusade against threatened "Jewish Bolshevik" chaos in religiously-inspired apocalyptic and mystical terms. 

Vinberg, regarded the National Socialists as upholders of true Christianity. And cast his support of Grand Duke Kirril Romanov in openly religious terms. He wrote in the Bulletin of the Russian Monarchical Union in Bavaria that he edited: "we are still in Satanic darkness. surrounded by anti-Christian forces,"  exhorting White Russians to further the "great cause of Russia's salvation." (2) 

Like the mystical inclined author Sergei Nilus, who had played a crucial role in popularizing The Protocols of the Elders of Zion, Vinberg viewed Jews as a satanic force. He had the "Zionist wise men" declare in his Der Kreuzweg Russlands (Russia s Via Dolorosa) that "you should finally recognize that our way is that of evil, the way of ruthless Satanism." In another passage, he asserted of "the Jews" that "the entire world is now in the clutches of these Antichrists." 

While Scheubner- Richter's colleague Rosenberg demonstrated an increasing hostility towards the Christian Churches as institutions, he nonetheless exhibited a more positive view of certain self-sacrificing elements of Christianity. He ended his “Spur des Juden im Wandel der Zeiten (The Trail of the Jew, through the Ages) by calling for the dawning of the "day of Christian-Germanic thinking." He also demanded: -the Christian spirit and the filthy Jewish spirit must be separated; the Bible is to be split up with a sharp cut as Christ and Anti –Christ. (3) 

In the 1919 article in which Eckart first dealt with The Protocols of the Elders of Zion, Eckart cited Revelation 20: 2. 3, where Satan is chained for a thousand years. after which he is released for a "little season." Eckart argued that this "little season" had come, noting that Jewry must have remained in the ghettos for approximately 1,000 years, but now "the Jewish spirit is loose.” (4)

As Eckart had made clear in an earlier article in Auf gut deutsch.  "if the Jew were to overgrow/infiltrate (ueberwucherte) us pernanently, we would never be in the position to fulfill our purpose, which consists in the redemption of the world. but would rather descend into insanity." (5) 

Hitler internalized Eckart's teachings of the ultimately pernicious nature of Jewish world-affirmation, viewing conditions in the Soviet Union as the primary example of the alleged Jewish "blind will to destruction. (6) 

According to Eckart's  1924 pamphlet, Der Bolschewismus von Moses bis Lenin: Zwiegespraech zwischen Adolf Hitler und mir, the very title of which demonstrates how Eckart cast "Bolshevism" as a meta-historical emanation of the Jewish nature, Hitler referred to Eckarl's idea of the insanely destructive Jewish essence as most chillingly manifested in the Soviet Union, asserting: 

it is surely so, as you once wrote: one can only understand the Jew when one knows where he feels the urge to go to in the end. Beyond world domination to the destruction of the world. He thinks that he has to bring all of humanity down in order, as he talks himself into believing, to be able to give it paradise on earth .... While he pretends to bring humanity up, he torments it into despair, madness, and downfall (Untergang). If he is not stopped. he will destroy it. ...even though he dimly suspects that he will destroy himself with it thereby. He cannot escape, he must do it....To have to destroy something for all one is worth. yet at the same time to suspect that this irredeemably leads to one's own ruin, that is the thing. If you like, the tragedy of Lucifer. (7)

1) See: Hitler: 1889-1936,  by Ian Kershaw, 1999.

Kershaw  reminds us that Hitler was being acted upon just as much or more than he was acting. Defeat and revolutionary turbulence in Germany (especially Munich) between November 1918 and May 1919 were decisive in preparing the ground for Hitler. To offset leftist influence in German politics and society, the German army set up propaganda units to indoctrinate the troops. Hitler became a star performer in one of these units and thus found his niche as a political speaker. Kershaw probably minimizes Hitler's role in the planning and direction of the Holocaust too much. Also many  assisted Hitler, in carrying out his atrocities.
