A Very British Coup - Abdication Of Edward Viii

"Hitler was launched on his political career by a wealthy and powerful secret society ... (He) got some of his biggest contributions by first discovering the corrupt dealings between certain big industrialists and prominent ... politicians and then blackmailing the industrialists with threats of exposure ... One of the most important discoveries of this study is the importance of foreign financing in bringing Hitler to power ... most of it came from prominent foreign citizens ... Henry Ford, Mussolini, Grand Duchess Victoria of Russia, Sir Henri Deterding ... Those who financed Hitler, both Germans and the foreigners, are just as responsible for his coming to power as the active Nazis who spread anti-Semitic propaganda or fought in the streets. Yet because of their influence and the power of money, few of them were prosecuted at Nuremberg." The above comes from the preface of this book. This is Mr. Pool's first book on this subject and it deals only with the period from 1919 to 1933. His second book, "Hitler and His Secret Partners" covers the period from 1933 to 1945. After reading both of these books, I felt that these books should be required reading for every World War II veteran - possibly all veterans. And now I would expand that recommendation to all who have ever fought in any war and to those who may be forced to do so in the future. Reading such books will help to get through a lot of the "who harr" and hoopla of what most everybody "thinks" war is all about. "Where's the Money and Follow the Money" are always good questions - and invariably eye-opening. The introduction gives a brief biography of Hitler's childhood. His authoritarian father died when he was fourteen and his much beloved mother a few years later when he was a teenager. He had been a high school dropout and pursued a career as an artist in Vienna. He joins the ranks of the homeless after his mother's death and returns home to enlist in the German Army with the outbreak of World War I. He resents the Communists, the Jews and the Labor movement - considering them all to be unpatriotic and anti-German and Jew inspired and controlled. He serves bravely and honorably during World War I - receiving several prestigious medals and awards. After the loss of the War he resents greatly the Socialist Democratic and Communist takeover of the government. He joins and actively supports the Nationalist-Patriot cause against all Jews, Social Democrats, Labor Unions, and other agents of what he considers Moscow inspired Russian Communism. Mr. Pool closes his introduction as follows: "If it had not been for the Communist uprisings in Germany, Hitler would probably never have found a receptive audience for the anti-Semitic garbage he had learned in Vienna. Moreover he would not have found so many industrialists, aristocrats, and officers willing to contribute to his cause." I interpret this as saying: Communism precipitated an anti-Communist movement which then became the financial support and backing for Hitler and his Nazism. Hitler while still a full-time paid member of the German army is instructed by his superiors to join the German Workers Party which was started by Anton Drexler, a thirty-five year old railway locksmith. Karl Harrer, a journalist and Thule member is encouraged to lend his support to Drexler to tie in the secret Thule Society to a common laborer and proletarian group, says Pool. This Thule Society connection Hitler neglected to mention in his Mein Kampf, injects Pool.
