ABSTRACT
In Mein Kampf Adolf Hitler dealt with many subjects of the greatest importance, not only to Germans but to all peoples. He made sweeping pronouncements on nearly all human affairs. Even more harmful than the false conception of specific facts is the false conception of relationships. In a modern society many diverse groups, differing in interest, in situation, in experience, in faith, live together. The Social Democratic party in the Reichstag had a progressive, not a revolutionary, policy, and in the light of later history it seems clear that Germany would have been saved from its later disasters had this party been allowed to continue its direction of the state. Hitler’s views on the methods of propaganda are very instructive. They have to be considered in the light of his conception of the masses. At the end of the war Hitler, discharged from the hospital, continued his connection with the army, though now in a nominally civilian capacity.
