ABSTRACT
Haushofer was Hitler's intellectual godfather. It was Haushofer, rather than Hess, who wrote Mein Kampf ... Geopolitics was not merely academic theory. It was a driving, dynamic plan for the conquest of the heartland of Eurasia and for domination of the world by the conquest of that heartland ... Really, Hitler was largely only a symbol and a rabble-rousing mouthpiece. The intellectual content of which he was the symbol was the doctrine of Haushofer.
