Alfred Rosenberg: The Munich Beer Hall Putsch

Superior Essays
Alfred Rosenberg once stated “Germany will regard the Jewish question as solved only after the last Jew has left the greater German living space… Europe will have its Jewish questions solved only after the very last Jew has left the continent”.

The Munich Beer Hall Putsch is a failed takeover of the government in Bavaria, a state in southern Germany. Hitler had led the Nazi Party, a fledgling political group that promoted German pride and anti-Semitism and was unhappy with the terms of the Treaty of Versailles to try this takeover. This failed takeover resulted in Adolf Hitler 's arrest. Hitler turned the reins of the Nazi Party over to Rosenberg, whom Hitler believed would prove feckless as a leader and thus no ultimate threat to his own authority. Because of this Rosenberg struggled to prevent Nazi Party movements from disintegrating. For a short while there was nothing to fear-for the Nazi Party would be banned and dismissed as a laughingstock until Hitler took control again upon his release. Rosenberg returned to journalism shortly after Hilters release. Beginning his chief work, Rosenberg got The Myth of the Twentieth Century (Der Mythus des 20. Jahrhunderts), published in 1930. Even though it isn 't officially translated into another language nor is it endorsed by Hitler as the authoritative expression of Nazi ideology, the book sold approximately one million copies by the late war years. This book also boosted Rosenberg 's standing as Party ideologue. Alfred Rosenberg 's völkish(racist) arguments and his emphasis on Lebensraum(the territory that a state or nation believes is needed for its natural development) corresponded with Nazi ideology. Even though he believed in the Nazi philosophy he promoted the Nordic Theory. The Nordic Theory states that he, also, posed that all fruits of Western culture has evolved slowly from Germanic tribes. However the Roman “priestly caste” which had arisen with Christianity had combined with Freemasons, Jesuits, and “international Jewry” to erode the culture and with it German spiritual values proves that that isn 't the case. Rosenberg is said to have Anti-christian rhetoric, even

    Ian Kershaw’s article “Hitler and the Germans” analyzes the approach used to assert Hitler’s position in German politics. The main theme of this article is the creation of the “Hitler myth” and its spread throughout German society. This critique will discuss Kershaw’s argument and how effective it was. Kershaw argues that Hitler’s personality was not the key to his success and neither was his own personal Weltanschauung. He believes that it would be more accurate to study the popular image of Hitler, what the average German would have experienced.…

    The Führer, on the other hand, had a more nebulous relationship with Nietzsche’s writings. While Hitler appropriated Nietzsche’s ideas into his ideology, he never actually read his works personally. There were, however, stories and rumors spread throughout Germany regarding the two. Viennese actress Rosa Albach-Petty, for example, reportedly heard a story from a friend of a young workman named Adolf Hitler who asked to borrow Thus Spoke Zarathustra and another book by Nietzsche, saying, “‘almost solemnly,’” “‘I promise you ma’am, that I will cherish the books like life itself.’”…

    Defying Hitler is written about the rise of National Socialism within the German people during the interwar phase of Germany. Sebastian Haffner’s writes about how Nazism filled a certain empty space within the war-torn German people. Mass culture started to wash over the German people; this would start to create a society that would be built upon abstract numbers and hollow celebrations. To Haffner, the German people lived an outward existence that was deprived of any meaningful balance in a private life. The empty private lives are precisely what helped Hitler’s nationalist and Nazi propaganda to be effective in the persuasion of the German people.…
