We're trying to shed light on the undoubtedly most important figure of National Socialism.

It's not hard to guess that it's about Adolf Hitler we are talking about.

My approach will be as follows: first, I'll look at who told us something about Hitler and what their theses were.

It sounds dry, but I'm trying to find a compromise between science and entertainment, which is my motto in general, while at the same time trying to present the topic as objectively as possible.

Few people have been written about and speculated about as much as he has.

Biographies are popular because everyone can relate to them its about life the most interesting thing on earth.

In this episode, I'm trying to answer the question:

What do we know about Hitler? From whom and from where?

The most important biographers of Adolf Hitler will also be mentioned later on.

Here we will discuss Houston Stewart Chamberlain's work "The Foundations of the Nineteenth Century, 1899". A raging stream that brings together demonic hatred from all directions.

The confusion of thoughts seems to lead to the idea of ​​destruction a sort of "delenda" a la Carthage or Jerusalem, to eliminate and exterminate or breed out the Semitic element or even worse, today's, as he calls it, the degenerate modern Jew.

The work "The Foundations of the Nineteenth Century, 1899" is the main work of Houston Stewart Chamberlain, whom we have already presented in detail.

We come to the final part of our three-part series on the life of the pioneer and spiritual father of National Socialism as described by Goebbels and Rosenberg, both perhaps the most important figures when the question comes up what National Socialism actually is.

In the first two parts, we discussed his disordered childhood, without parents, without a permanent residence, but financially secure. 

It confirms that even rich people can be unhappy and have an unhappy childhood.

We saw him step by step coming closer to the German culture, which he chose as a kind of new home as a kind of new personal identity.

In the third part, we come to the climax as in a classic drama or crime story, these are the productive years spent mostly in Vienna, where Chamberlain became radicalized, followed by a long phase of agony and dying after the First World War.

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.

Hitler considered himself the main character of the Wagner opera Rienzi, which was based on the life of Cola di Rienzo called Rienzi.

Names such as“Nacht und Nebel”  "Night and Fog" from Wagner's opera Rheingold were also used by Himmler as code names for the deportations of Jews to concentration camps, and the deportations were given the nickname NN standing for “Nacht und Nebel”.

Today we will focus specifically on the so-called Bayreuth circle and the Wagner family around the composer Richard Wagner. It is a study of the soil from which the seeds of National Socialism, as Hitler himself called this movement in its early stages, could have grown.

The Bayreuth Circle or Wagner Circle may have played a more important role in the ethnic nationalist movement than one might think.

We are talking also about Darwinism and Gobinism and its influence on Nazism.

We talk about whether Hitler can be compared to Napoleon?

What do they have in common, what are their differences?

What about Hitler´s obsession with Napoleon's Defeat?
