ABSTRACT

This is the earliest recorded expression of Hitler’s views on any subject. While it may appear significant that this letter is preoccupied with the Jewish question, it should be borne in mind that it was written expressly in response to a request by Adolf Gemlich, his military superior, who wished to know the place of the Jewish question within the German army’s anti-revolutionary propaganda (Hitler was at that time employed as a secret agent of the Press and Propaganda Office of the political department of the Wehrmacht).
