ABSTRACT

The Gennan homeland and its people were seen as a receptive environment for the fulfilment of such a biological view of history, notably with its long-standing pockets of anti-semitism and its latent pan-Gennan sentiments. As the Gennan nation stood in the 1920s, it was beholden to liberalist and economic principles. The Nazi Party, with its substitution of leadership for liberal democrary and its realisation of the fundamental racial course of history, would arrest this pattern and set Gennany on a path towards European and later world domination.
