Tried reading a history of Germany? Not really clear on what happened before 1870?

Then read Rise of the Reich by SS Main Office, published for the first time in English by Antelope Hill Publishing (AHP)
https://antelopehillpublishing.com/product/the-rise-of-the-reich/

A eagle-eye's view of German history from the misty days of Arminius to Hitler-years of struggle and glory, Rise of the Reich shows you German history in the correct... OBJECTIVELY TRUE... perspective. From the great folk-migrations of the 400s to Charlemagne, the glimmering power of the Hohenstaufen kings and the taming of Eastern Europe... to the terminally boring pope-emperor conflict and agonies of the wars of religion... to the rebirth of a sovereign, independent Germany liberated from the race-hating status-greed of the Habsburgs... this book has got it all!

Join Gregory Conte and Taylor Young as we cut to the point: what is the political importance of German history for Whites all over the world today, especially non-Germans?

And while most internet-people would demand BIG MONEY to review a book, I LOVE the people too much to accept such DIRTY deals. What you have here is my true, no-holds-barred opinion of the book--from effusive praise to pedantic criticism.

That said, feel free to send me a tip for my work. You can do so through my publisher Invisible Empire Publishing:

From the drippy forests of Thuringia to the lake-riddled swampland of Lithuania...

The lolling hills of Silesia to the harsh, alpine peaks of Transylvania...

Central Europe was invaded, peopled and organized from the West. Between 1150 and 1400 German farmers, merchants, warriors and holymen flooded across the Elbe and down the Danube in the first great European age of exploration. There they encountered Slavs, Hungarians, and Balts... peoples sometimes thirsty for Western tech and trade, sometimes eager to defend their ways of life and national honor.

This great folk-movement, the Ostsiedlung (Settling of the East), is almost unknown in the English-speaking world. The standard textbooks might make passing mention of "German immigrants", but nowhere in English will you find a comprehensive and fair treatment of this immense and history-shaping venture.

Nowhere, that is, except on Prussian Socialism... join Greg Conte in this lecture as he uncovers the Ostsiedlung. From the Teutonic Knights and the Siebenbürgen Saxons to the last doomed days of Kurland and Bohemia 1945... was it a peaceful movement dedicated to agricultural progress, the spread of Christianity and the organizing of sophisticated government? Or merciless exploitation and subjugation?

Progress or tyranny, life or death, German or Slav?

Lead from the front...
Take the initiative...
Can't lead if you can't follow...

You've heard all those lines before... but did you know they aren't just slogans, but the basis of all organizations?

Including--no, especially--the Waffen SS. The greatest military-political organization of all time.

Spreading the Truth is hard... especially against the Jewish Campaign of Lies. How do you break through?

Some people reject propagandistic methods as innately wrong,
Others accept the Jews' assumptions and try to beat them one by one

But when your enemy attacks you with fists, you have to fight back with fists
It's the same way with words... the only difference is, while they come at us with lies, we reply with the truth.

Hitler understood this, and broke down the method of Jewish propaganda into an Aryan artform. His propaganda can be understood by the following six principles:

1: National Socialism preaches mainly to the downtrodden and the discontented
2: Build popular energy against the one enemy responsible for the people's misery
3: Bluntness not mockery
4: Do not renounce primitiveness of expression
5: Repetition
6: Moral framing of logical arguments

Join Gregory Conte and William for this discussion of the theory and history of National Socialist propaganda and how to apply it today.

Until Leftists confront Jewish Power, they are only perpetuating oppression and murder around the world.

Everyone has to accept Hitlerian fundamentals. To build a resistance to the West's tyrannical regime, you have to:

1) focus all efforts on getting people to understand the nature of Jewish Power and the moral necessity of resisting it (the one enemy principle)

2) root the movement in the broad masses, not in the "right wing" or the bourgeoisie or elite cliques.

The fall of Western Rome is a story usually told looking northward. Roman and Greek historians tell us a tale of decay and destruction brought about by wild-eyed northern savages.

But what did it look like from the other side? How did the Germanic peoples view the fall of Rome, arrival of Christianity, and the rise of early European kingdoms?

In this lecture, Gregory Conte reconstructs the "barbarian" migrations (die Völkerwanderungen) from the northern point of view, through Germanic legends and romanized Germanic historians. What do we know about early Germanic language, culture, religion, law and government? How did the Germans advance from the petty tribes of Arminius' day (c. 9 AD) to the vast kingdoms in the era of Theodoric the Goth (c. 500)? And perhaps most importantly, how did the mingling of the Germanic and Latin-speaking peoples form the basis of European culture?

From Samurais to Kamikazes, banzai-charges to ritualized suicide and months-long anime shows, the Japanese are known for one thing: Being really, really intense about everything.

So of course, when the Western Great Powers began encroaching in East Asia, the Japanese were spurred into a feverish drive to catch up everywhere... in technology, in science, in organization and above all, in war.

After whooping the Russians, the Chinese, the British, and throwing the Americans out of the Philippines, their furious expansion was stopped and rolled back only by America's massive material power. The Japanese got their once-in-a-millennium chance to prove themselves the most hard-core people in all of history. Did they succeed?

Between AD 270 and the late 500s, the Roman Empire declined and fell to Germanic invaders, while a new, Byzantine Empire arose in the East.

At least, that's what it looks like. But states and peoples are different things. Sometimes a founding people dies, but its state lives on. That is what happened in Rome in the 3rd century. The original Roman people lost power to a new, hungry race of frontier-fighters: the so-called Illyrian Soldier-Emperors.

Contrary to the common opinion, the Illyrian-Danubian emperors weren't the outcome of increasing "diversity" or "tolerance" of the Roman State. They were a new, as-yet-unnamed people, who--abandoned by the central government--took matters into their own hands.

From Aurelian "the Restorer of the World" to Diocletian, Constantine the Great, Theodosius I and Justinian, these "Illyrians" built a state-within-a-state, kept the Roman Empire alive for two centuries, and carved out a new empire from its ruins. They restructured army, shook up the administration, and oversaw the most radical religious reform in European history. Theirs is the real history of the "late Roman" and "early Byzantine" empires.

Only amidst the chaos of the Persian and Islamic invasions of the early 600s did the 300-year-old Illyrian regime succumb... when they were finally overthrown by a new breed of Cappadocian and Armenian officers.

Join Gregory Conte for this myth-destroying lecture, as we examine the real meaning of Rome's last centuries; and the beginning of the 1000-year "Byzantine" state.

"Kill them all, for God knows his own"... the infamous words of Bishop Arnaud-Amaury as an crusader army butchered the entire town of Béziers. Muslims and Jews? No. Christians.

The Albigensian Crusade was the first intra-European holy war. Waged against the Cathar neo-gnostic faith, the crusade left a trail of death and horror across southern France between 1209 and 1229.

It destroyed not only the Cathars, and the budding civilization of Occitania, the first flowing of secular culture in Western Europe since the fall of Rome.

A land of knight-poets and world-denying mystics, Occitania was the home of "courtly love", the wild idea that women can have a purpose other than mere breeding.

Were the Cathars and their sympathizers the good guys? Or were they dangerous heretics, dedicated to the physical annihilation of mankind?

Join Gregory Conte for this blood- and love-soaked lecture as we celebrate Valentine's Day in... Occitania: La Terra d'Amor.
