Mein Kampf Was a Judeophobic Manifesto

Some historians believe that Mein Kampf was written not by one author, but by three: Adolf Hitler, Rudolf Hess and an enigmatic and mysterious priest Father Bernhard Stempfle.

I am not sure about that but this “National-Socialist Bible” surely looks like it was written by more than one person: there are parts that make a lot of sense; there are ones that make some sense – and there are parts that make no sense at all.

The latter refers to everything written about the Jews in that book. One of the main theses in the book is the concept of “the Jewish peril”, by which the author means global Jewish conspiracy to take over the whole world – Protocols-style (Adolf Hitler was a firm believer of the authenticity of “Protocols of the Elders of Zion” – and so were Rudolf Hess and Bernhard Stempfle).

More specifically, the author believed that there were two fundamental, existential evils in this world: communism (very true) and Judaism (not true at all). The author blamed Germany’s chief woes on Social Democrats, as well as Marxists, though he believed that Marxists, Social Democrats, and the Weimar parliament were all working for “Jewish interests”. None of these statements was true, of course.   

Although the actual decision to begin serial mass murder of Jews was approved by Adolf Hitler sometime in early April of 1941, several passages in Mein Kampf (written in 1924-25) are undeniably of a genocidal nature. The author stated that international poisoners of German souls (meaning the Jews, of course) must be exterminated – physically, it appears. He also suggested that

“if at the beginning of the war and during the war twelve or fifteen thousand of Hebrew corrupters of the nation had been subjected to poison gas, such as had to be endured in the field by hundreds of thousands of our very best German workers… then the sacrifice of millions at the front would not have been in vain“

Twenty years later, serial mass murder of Jews will be done mostly by poison gas.

Hitler stated that the destruction of the weak and sick is far more humane than their protection. Apart from this allusion to humane treatment, Hitler saw a purpose in destroying “the weak” in order to provide the proper space and purity for the “strong”.

Which obviously formed the ideological basis for Aktion T4 – the involuntary euthanasia program (another serial mass murder committed by Nazis). Mein Kampf was intended to be the key tool for indoctrination of German population and Nazi activists; hence, it van rightfully be viewed as a key step on the Road to Holocaust – and a heavy slab in the “slab stack” in “Holocaust Avalanche”.
