THE THIRD REICH – the history of National Socialism

#8 Chamberlain; Part 2: Severe mental problems and the desire to become German


Listen Later

Second part of the biography of the spiritual father of the National Socialist movement. 

That's how the propaganda minister of the Third Reich Joseph Goebbels called him.

We see him step by step becoming german, first through his tutor Otto Kuntze, then he studied in Switzerland met german intellectuals, then his first trips to Germany and finally moving to Dresden, where he was finally treated for serious mental problems by Emil Kraepelin.

Here he established his first contact with the ethno-national and racist Wagner circle.

Apparently he wasn't a racist at the time he was still somebody who wants to be a philosopher and a scientist at the same time - the infection with the virus of racism was still ongoing and - like Adolf Hitler himself - it took place in the following years in Vienna.
