[Intervention into German politics by the German armed forces]
On November 9, 1918, when it was close to the end of World War I, the revolution happened in Germany. The emperor of Wilhelm Second took refuge in Netherlands, and Kaiser was abolished and shifted to a republican form of government. Later, this revolution was come out as the plot by German military leaders. German military leaders were afraid that the defeat responsibility of World War I expected to them. German military leaders ended the war signing the peace treaty before being completely defeated. The flow of these German armed forces continued to be until Hitler assassination attempted of July 20, 1944. The indirect participation to the politics by the German armed forces after World War I led to the birth of Hitler Administration later. It is hard to see German politics after World War I through the indirect intervention by the German armed forces.
As for the assassination of Hitler, Stauffenberg of the ringleader was arrested, and he was executed later. As a cooperator of the case, General Rommel was forced to be committed suicide about 2 months later of Hitler's assassination attempt. General Rommel chose the self-determination in exchange for the security of his family. The funeral of General Rommel was held a grand service officially by the German government.
[German political system]
German administrative power was divided into President and Prime Minister. In the present day, President is completely just symbol. But in Germany after World War I President had real power. President shared his power with Prime Minister. They structured doubleness of the power of the government. If it says well, it is democratic enforcement under Weimar Constitution. In the assembly, Making important decisions were difficult. In the President emergency law that President Hindenburg used what accelerated it (Constitution Article 48), it was interfered with the assembly administration. When it is necessity of public order or public stability in case of a crisis that German nation cannot carry out constitutional duty, President will get the support of the armed forces, along with the President emergency law of Weimar Constitution Article 48. That is things to be able to stop physical freedom, house inviolability, secrecy of communication, freedom of speech and the freedom of the meeting association; a rule called the protection of the private property. They caused of unstable politics being the power share between President and Prime Minister in the Germany. In the Germany after World War I, the right to vote was given all nations under Weimar Constitution. There were 2 influence groups who got the support of the working class. One was Communist Party, and the other was Nazis party. Communist Party tried an armed uprising, but the German armed forces brought it under control by armed forces. On the other hand, in Nazis party, participants of the Munich riot was arrested, but Nazis party switched their policy to the acquisition of the legal government, and there was not the oppression from the German armed forces afterwards. Nazis finally got the support of President Hindenburg who was influence to armed forces. Then, Hitler took office as Prime Minister.
In Germany today, President is symbol, and real power is to Prime Minister. This symbolic presidential system is adopted in the other countries. Symbolic President holds diplomatic ceremonies as well. By this system, Prime Minister can devote himself/herself to politics. Today relationship with foreign countries were increased dramatically comparing with 100 years ago. People who travel foreign countries by air make much easier. With it, diplomatic ceremonies increase, too. Symbolic President handles many of diplomatic etiquettes as well.
[To grasp of the power]
Hitler dissolved the assembly as soon as Hitler took office as Prime Minister. Hitler knew that he could use the police power when he would take the position of Prime Minister. During the election, Hitler used the police power enough and he oppressed Communist Party. At this time, German Diet was destroyed by the fire and Hitler accused of Communist members for it. 81 Candidates of Communist Party who had been elected in the election finally became invalid. Hitler raided Rohm and killed him after taking the position of Prime Minister. This incident made the extend support of the armed forces. The regular army of armed forces was around 100,000 in those days. In contrast, the troops of Nazis SA leaded by Rohm were beyond 2,000,000 persons. Rohm aimed to be independent the troops of Nazis SA from the central control. The choice with Hitler’s cool-headed let to support Hitler from the German armed forces.
Nazis party switched their policy to taking the government by legal means after Munich riot. According to this policy, Hitler got his power through a Diet election. Hitler finally held power. This legal way matches German nation temperament. For example, the Germans people wait to come green light at street signal even it is a small way.
[The theory of evolution of Darwin]
Here, let’s have a look about the thought of Hitler. Hitler was the believer of the theory of evolution of Darwin of the latest biology theory in those days. Hitler applied the theory of evolution of Darwin to human being, particularly in races. At first, Hitler put his weight in races. Whether good or bad, Hitler thought about the superiority and inferiority to per race unit. During the first match of World War II between German armed forces and the Soviet Union force, the Soviet Union forces surrendered to Germany forces in large quantities that escaped from the oppression of Stalin. Hitler regarded the Russians as an incompetent race from this incident. Based on this thought, Hitler killed Russian captives in large quantities. On the other hand, the British troops, during World War II, fought against German armed forces bravely from the first stage. Thus, Hitler considered British to be the race that is excellence. The Japanese won Russo-Japanese War and he thought the Japanese with an able race. When Japanese armed forces declared the war against U.S.A. by Pearl Harbor attack, Hitler agreed with this just three days later, and Hitler declared the war against U.S.A., too. The declaration war against U.S.A. by Hitler was abnormally early. The decision of Hitler should be attracted by the theory of evolution of Darwin, and the Japanese were thought with an excellent race when Hitler declared war against U.S.A. However, Hitler came to call the Japanese monkey when Japanese armed forces began to be defeated by the U.S. forces. Hitler used the word of this monkey for the French also. What Hitler called monkey included a meaning of the delayed race of evolution. Or more worse, Hitler called Jews as lice.
Hitler stayed at the school of Christianity theologian for a while until he quitted. The theory of evolution of Darwin is opposed to Christianity theology. Christianity says equal by nature, and, in the Christianity theology, a human being is not different. Hitler seemed to never mind this point. In the same time, a person who studied Christianity theology in a theological school as same as Hitler. That was Josef Stalin. In addition, Josef Stalin had nothing to do with Christianity relations, and Josef Stalin killed many Russians.
[Mein Kampf]
I have pick up the summary of "Mein Kampf" which are few books written by Hitler. Hitler seldom wrote books in his life. Hitler said himself in this book that the publication of book is not important for politicians. That point is interesting, isn’t it?
I. The world view through races
1. Race should be pure. Jews marry women off to influential pagans and disturb racial pure.
2. Speech is all for politicians, the publication of book is not important.
3. Hatred against Jews. In the German general's appearance, as for Jewish work in German military, there were a little work in the front lines, and were the most works in supply division.
4. In the Germany, it risked to death in those days meeting and demonstrating, because Communists interfered those. And there was not enough the protection of police for meeting and demonstrating.
5. Hitler valued the Japanese that won for Russo-Japanese War.
6. Because labor union carried out the strike in munitions factories in the last year of World War I, Hitler felt indignant at the labor union. As for many soldiers committed in danger in front lines, the workers did the obstruction them for taking the strike.
7. Hitler thought that the German assembly could not pass important decisions, and Hitler thought that the German assembly was obstructive.
8. Hitler disappointed in Habsburg royal families of Austria.
9. Hitler wanted the unification between Germany and Austria.
10. Hitler thought that food supply could not catch up with German population growth. Therefore, a birth control taken in French would be necessary in the Germany, Hitler wrote.
II. The Movement of National Socialism
1. This second part includes hatred about Jews more than the first one.
2. Hitler thought that Karl Marx was a Jew. And, we have to hate communists.
3. Studying foreign language is not useful for almost students. For example, if 200,000 students study French, only 2,000 of them will use their abilities actually.
4. Military is a part of educational facility. People can finish their education through military work.
5. French sent their troops into Ruhrgebiet of Germany for prompting the pay of reparations. This caused of international reactions against this French movement.
6. Hitler fought for protecting South Tirolo as a Germany solider during World War I.
7. Hitler was not colonialism. He said that Europeans should stay in Europe. He did not show any regrets about that Germany had lost their foreign colonies after World War I.
