      ABSTRACT

      If there is one theme that emerges clearly from this study, it is that National Socialism was a national revolutionary movement determined to rid Germany of Jewish Christianity-in fact, of everything that reminded the Occident of the Oriental Jewish Geist. But of course Hauer’s, Günther’s and Grimm’s primary motives were to usher in a holy new society that respected and groomed its race-specific biological and cultural heritage. To bring this about, to reverse the Spenglerian decline, they needed a racespecific religion. It was a form of paganism called German Faith. For Grimm, who was more comfortable with finding religion in poetics, his friend Moeller van den Bruck’s notion of the Third Reich became the religious hope of salvation from the grinding needs of Germans during the Versailles era.
