Very interesting informaiton about his homosexuality.

"Keine Staatsleitung freilich wird erwarten dürfen, daß ein Volk Heroismus besitzt, das sie nicht selbst zum Heroismus erziehen."
Heroism often enough lies in acting contrary to the state, however. And who made the state sole guardian of the people's moral education anyway?

Also, the last pages pertained to his conception of democracy.

"Die Menschen, die so gerne von Sozialismus reden, begreifen alle nicht, daß die höchste sozialistische Organisation überhaupt das deutsche Volksheer gewesen ist."

His take on Spartan eugenics alone shows he didn't take Christian love for one's neighbor very seriously.

He claims that no people has a territory that will always belong to it. That's probably not what was sold to the footsoldiers fighting for "their" country.

He's not romanticizing war in the same way as Mussolini. He says that war kills the finest and most virtuous, and that it's on peace to replace them.

The influence Darwinianism had on Hitler is clearly visible, although of course with finalistic and collectivistic elements added.

"""You can't get the clap, Mason. You're immune." We stopped in front of a store window featuring cheap tools, wire, small electric motors, and light fixtures. This was the place.
"What do you mean, 'immune'?"
"It's one of the advantages of being an officer. We get 'nonspecific urethritis.' Enlisted men get the clap.""
Same in WW1, officers never got "shell shock". War truly never changes.

Falter agrees with Hänisch and von Kuehnelt-Leddihn (mostly). He also noted there was a huge transfer from SPD and KPD voters to the Nazis. Same with the Catholic Center Party, interestingly.

Courtney Brown modified this theory somewhat. The trend, according to him, was reversed in urban areas.

Hänisch came to the same conclusion as Erik von Kuehnelt-Leddihn: Predominantly Catholic electorates did not vote for Hitler.
