Truth and facts about the third Reich – A Particularly Sharp and Satirical Publication Detailing the Whole Truth About Nazi Germany and Hitler’s Third Reich. Published by Hans Damit. Chicago, 1936, as the Nazi Party Gained Momentum and German Antisemitism Escalated Dramatically Across Germany.
The booklet is written in the form of sharp (bordering on humorous) “definitions” about Adolf Hitler, his associates, racial theories, and more. For example, Adolf Hitler is described: “Hitler… is not an original man but he is clever and logical. He often misjudges situations… A large-scale public speaker, he uses his slogans powerfully… He can express in violent anger what he pondered calmly, and claims he is capable of attending 14 mass meetings in one evening… Hitler has no idea what he is promising and cannot be considered a reliable business partner. He will break promises whenever it suits him and see himself as an honest man…”. About Goebbels, it is written: “Goebbels is a man of high solemn tones, experienced in life, and travels without displaying a member’s badge…”. “Gregor Strasser… physically strong and bold, waits for the time when he can take Hitler’s place…”. “Konrad Heiden undertook the thankless task of writing a history of National Socialism, although his ideas were somewhat confused on the subject…”. “William Dingfelder is a fervent opponent of providing Jews with flour for baking matzos…”. “Rudolf Hess – among real men, he is called ‘Mrs. Hitler, ‘ behind every picture of Hitler stands the shadow of long legs, this is Rudolf Hess. Once an anonymous SA man, now the representative of the demigod, always with a loaded gun in his pocket…”. The booklet also contains mocking “definitions” of other Nazi Party members.
In the chapter on racial theory, it is written: “According to the views of racially inclined National Socialist politicians, it is known that German citizens come from different backgrounds and therefore differ in character. Mr. Günther, the current leading racial theorist of Nazism… To build his theory, Günther used the stupidity of ancient race experts and to enhance the color added a bit of his own. By his position, he managed with the cruel assistance of a Nazi minister to be appointed a professor at a university…. The overwhelming majority of members of mathematical and natural sciences could not be convinced that Dr. Günther had a scientific education… Not a few of the ‘inferior’ round skulls in East and West Asia were honored and glorified for their talents: among these inferiors are the philosophers Schopenhauer, Kant, Leibniz, and Schelling, the composers Beethoven, Schumann, and Schubert, the poets Schiller, Goethe…. One paragraph in Günther’s book is enough to show the shallowness and stupidity of this ‘scientific theory’…”. The author goes on to list the names of senior SS officers murdered by Hitler and his men, the dates and places of their killings in various concentration camps, and more. The author argues that Germany must be isolated as quickly as possible to bring about the end of the Third Reich before it is too late.
