Hitler: Nazis Kouwenhoven
built 254 days ago
Hitler was a committed anti-smoker. The Fuehrer couldn’t stand cigarettes, couldn’t stand smoke, and couldn’t stand smokers. According to Alain Jaubert, author of a 1986 history of photographic deception entitled Making People Disappear, Hitler ordered cigarettes airbrushed out of photos that appeared in Third Reich publications, much the way the U.S. Postal Service has been airbrushing cigarettes out of the mouths of such figures as bluesman Robert Johnson, composer Bernard Herrmann, author Thornton Wilder, and painter Jackson Pollack. Domestic Nazi propaganda noted that while fascist leaders Hitler, Mussolini, and Franco were all non-smokers, their enemies Roosevelt and Churchill did smoke (as did Stalin). Smoking was banned by Nazis in many public places, and Hitler even found the time to intervene in support of German shopkeepers who adopted a pioneering policy of refusing service to smokers.

It's popular among Christian apologists to claim that Hitler, the Nazis, and the Holocaust are all consequences of atheism, secularism, and liberalism. Such arguments fly in the face of reality: Adolf Hitler regularly proclaimed his faith in God, Nazi ideology was committed to supporting Christianity (on its terms, of course), and Nazi anti-Semitism was firmly grounded in Christian anti-Semitism.

Hitler did not yet hold the nation in thrall. Hitler's initial election into office and his use of constitutionally enshrined mechanisms to shore up power have led to the myth that his country elected him dictator and that a majority supported his ascent. He was made Chancellor in a legal appointment by the President, who was elected. But neither Hitler himself nor the party he headed garnered a majority vote. At the last free elections, the Nazis polled 33% of the vote, winning 196 seats out of 584. Even in the elections of March 1933, which took place after terror and violence had suffused the state, the Nazis received only 44% of the vote.

Hitler's beer hall oratory, attacking Jews, social democrats, liberals, reactionary monarchists, capitalists and communists, began attracting adherents. Early followers included Rudolf Hess, the former air force pilot Hermann Göring, and the army captain Ernst Röhm, who became head of the Nazis' paramilitary organization, the SA (Sturmabteilung, or "Storm Division"), which protected meetings and attacked political opponents. Hitler ... assimilated independent groups, such as the Nuremberg-based Deutsche Werkgemeinschaft, led by Julius Streicher, who became Gauleiter of Franconia. Hitler also attracted the attention of local business interests, was accepted into influential circles of Munich society, and became associated with wartime General Erich Ludendorff during this time.

Hitler soon discovered that he had two remarkable talents — for public oratory and for inspiring personal loyalty. His street-corner oratory, attacking the Jews, the socialists and liberals, the capitalists and Communists, began to attract adherents. Early followers included Rudolf Hess, Hermann G�ring, and Ernst R�hm, head of the Nazis' paramilitary organisation, the SA. Another admirer was the wartime General Erich Ludendorff. Hitler decided to use Ludendorff as a front in an attempt to seize power in Munich, the capital of Bavaria, later known as the "Hitler Putsch" or "March to Berlin" of November 8 1923, when the Nazis marched from a beer hall to the Bavarian War Ministry, intending to overthrow Bavaria's right-wing separatist government and then march on Berlin. The army quickly dispersed them and Hitler was arrested. To protect his position as leader, Hitler appointed Alfred Rosenberg temporary leader.

Since the defeat of Germany in World War II, Hitler, the Nazi Party and the results of Nazism have been regarded in most of the world as synonymous with evil. Historical and cultural portrayals of Hitler in the west are, by virtually universal consensus, condemnatory.
