On April 6, 1919, in Bavaria, left wing socialists and anarchists
proclaimed the Bavarian Soviet Republic.
The brains of the revolution were a group of writers
who had little idea of administration.
Life in munich grew chaotic. The counter-revolutionary forces,
the whites, composed of various groups of decommissioned soldiers
known as "Frei Corps",
equipped and financed
by the mysterious Thule Society,
defeated the Bavarian Soviet within a matter of weeks
Many other decommissioned soldiers waited out the turbulence
in barracks,
pfc Adolph Hitler among them.
After the Bavarian Republic had been defeated by the Whites,
in May, Hitler&#
39;s superiors put him to work in the post revolution
investigating commission.
His indictments injected ruthless ef
ficiency into the kangaroo courts
as he fingered hundreds of noncommissioned officers
and enlisted men
who had sympathized with the communist and anarchists.
He was subsequently sent to attend special anti-communist
training courses and seminars at the University
which were financed
by the Reichswehr administration
and by private donors from the Thule Society.
This led to an assignment in the intelligence division
of the postwar German army, to infiltrate groups that could
organize the working classes while the communists were weak.
On a September evening, 1919,
Hitler turne
d up in the Sternecker Beer Hall where members
and friends of the budding German Workers Party had gathered.
He quietly listened to the presentation by engineer Gottfried Feder,
<span style='col
or:blue'> a Thule Society member,</span>
who talked about J*wish control over lending capital.
When one of the other group members called for Bavaria
to break away from
the rest of Germany,
Hitler sprang into action.
The astonished audience stood by
while his highly aggressive remarks
and compelling oratory swept through the room.
After Hitler had finished his harangue, party chairman and founder,
Anton Drexler, immediately asked him
to a meeting of the party's steering committee held a few days later.
He was asked to join the committee
as its seventh member,
responsible for advertising and propaganda.
Back in 1912, several German occultists
with radical anti-semitic inclinations de
cided
to form a "magic" lodge, which they named the
Order of Teutons.
the main founders were Theodor Fritsch,
a publisher of an anti-semitic journ
al;
Philipp Stauff, pupil of the racist Guido Von List,
and Hermann Pohl, the order's chancellor.
(Pohl would drop out three years later to found
his own bizarre lodge, the Walvater Teutonic Order
of the Holy Grail.)
The Order of Teutons was organized
along the lines
of the Free Masons or the Rosicrucians,
having differing degrees of initiation,
only persons who could fully document that they were
of pure "aryan" ancestry were allowed to join.
In 1915, Pohl was joined by Rudolf Blauer,
who held a Turkish passport and practiced sufi meditation.
He also dabbled in astrology and was an admirer
of Lanz Von Liebenfels and Guido Von List,
both pathologically anti-semitic.
Blauer went by the name of Rudolf Freiherr Von Se
boottendorf.
He was very wealthy, although the origin of his fortune is unknown.
He became the Grand Master of the Bavarian Order
and he founded the Thule
Society,
with Pohl's approval, in 1918.
After the Bavarian communist revolution of 1918,
the Thule Society became a center of the
counterrevolutionary subculture.
An espionage network and arms caches were organized.
The Thule Club rooms
became a nest of resistance
to the revolution and the Munich Soviet Republic.
Journalist Karl Harrer was given the job of founding
a political "worker circle".
He realized that the workers would reject any program
that was presented to them by a member of the
conservative "privileged" class.
Harrer knew that the mechanic Anton Drexler,
who was working for the railroads,
w
as a well-known anti-semite, chauvinist and proletarian.
With drexler as nominal chairman,
Harrer founded the German Workers Party in January 1919
The German Workers Party was only o
ne of many associations
founded and controlled by the Thule Society.
The Thule was the "mother"
to the German Socialist Party,
led by Julius Streicher,
and the right-wing radical Oberland Free Corps.
It published the Munich observer, which later became
the National Observer.
Hitler became the most prominent personality in the party.
He caused Harrer to drop out, and he pushed Drexler,
the nominal chairman, to the sidelines.
He filled key positions with his own friends
from the Thule Society and the Army.
During the summer of 1920, upon his suggestion,
the party was renamed the
National Socialist German Worker Party (NASDAP).<b
r>
The new name was intended to equally
attract nationalists and proletarians.
To go along with the new name his mass movement
also required a flag with a powerful symbol.
<b
r>Among many designs under consideration,
Hitler picked the one suggested by Thule member Dr. Krohn:
a red cloth with a white circle in the middle
containing a black swastika.
Hitler wanted to turn the German Workers Party
into a mass-conscious fighting party,
but Harrer and Drexler were hesitant,
due in part to their woeful financial situation.
The Thule Society was not yet supplying
very much money and no one seemed to know
how to build up a mass party.
Hitler arranged two pu
blic meetings in obscure beer halls,
and he drafted leaflets and posters,
but there was no real breakthrough.
All of this changed dramatically at the end of the 1919
when Hitler met Dietrich Eckart. <
br>
Most biographers have underestimated the influence
that Eckart exerted on Hitler.
He was the wealthy publisher and editor-in-chief
of an anti-semitic journal which he call
ed In Plain German.
Eckart was also a committed occultist
and a master of magic.
As an initiate, Eckart belonged to the inner circle
of the Thule Society as well as other esoteric orders.
Briefly, the creed of the Thule Society
inner circle is as follows:
Thule was a legendary island in the far north, similar to Atlantis,
supposedly the center of a lost, high-level civilization.
But not all secrets of that civilization had been completely wiped out.
Those that remained were being guarded by ancient,
highly intelligent beings
(similar to the "Ma
sters" of Theosophy or the White Brotherhood).
The truly initiated could establish contact with these beings
by means of magic
-mystical rituals.
The "Masters" or "Ancients" allegedly would be able
to endow the initiated with supernatural strength and energy.
With the help of these energi
es the goal of the initiated
was to create a race of Supermen of "Aryan" stock
who would exterminate all "inferior" races.
There can be no doubt that Eckart -
who had been alerted to Hitler by other Thulists -
trained Hitler in techniques of self confidence,
self projection, persuasive oratory,
body language and discursive sophistry.
With these tools, in a short period of time
he was able to move the obscure workers party
from the club and beer hall atmosphere to a mass movement.
The emotion charged lay speaker became an expert orator,
capable of mesmerizing a vast audience.
One should not underestimate occultism's influence on Hitler.
His subsequent re
jection of Free Masons and esoteric
movements,
of Theosophy, of Anthrosophy,
does not necessarily mean otherwise.
Occult circles have long been known
as covers for espionage
and i
nfluence peddling.
Hitler's spy apparatus under Canaris and Heydrich
were well aware of these conduits,
particularly from the direction of Britain
which had within its MI5 intelligence agency
a department known as the Occult Bureau.
That these potential sources of trouble were purged
from Nazi life should not be taken to mean
that Hitler and the Nazi secret societies
were not influenced by mystical and occult writers
such as Madame Blavatsky, Houston Stewart Chamberlain,
Guido Von List, Lanz Von Liebenfels, Rudolf Steiner,
George Gurdjieff, Karl Haushofer and Theodor Fritsch.
Although Hitler later denounced and ridiculed many of them,
he did dedicate his book Mein Kampf to his teacher
Dietrich Eckart.
<span style='c
olor:blue'>A freque
nt visitor to Landsberg Prison where Hitler
was writing Mein Kampf with the help of Rudolf Hess,</span>
was General Karl Haushofer, a university professor
and director of the Munich Institute of Geopolitics.
Haushofer, Hitler, and Hess had long conversations together.
Hess also kept records of these conversations.
Hitler's demands for German "Living Space"
in the east at the expense of the Slavic nations
were based on the geopolitical theories of the learned professor.
Haushofer was also inclined toward the esoteric.
as military attache in Japan, he had studied Zen-Buddhism.
He had also gone through initiations at the hands
of Tibetan Lamas.
He became Hitler's second "esoteric mentor",
replacing Dietrich Eckart.
In Berlin, Haushofer had founded the Luminous Lodge or the Vril Society.
The lodge's objective
was to explore the origins
of the Aryan race and to perform exercises in concentration
to awaken the forces of "Vril".
Haush
ofer was a student of the Russian mag
ician
and metaphysician Gregor Ivanovich Gurdyev (George Gurdjieff).
Both Gurdjeiff and Haushofer maintained that they had contacts
with secret Tibetan Lodges that possessed the secret of the
"Superman".
The lodge included Hitler, Alfred Rosenberg, Himmler, Goring,
and Hitler's subsequent personal physician Dr. Morell.
It is also known that Aleister Crowley and Gurdjieff
sought contact with Hitler.
Hitler's unusual powers of suggestion become more understandable
if one keeps in mind that he had access
to the "secret" psychological techniques of the esoteric lodges.
Haushofer taught him the techniques of Gurdjieff which,
in turn, were based on the teachings of the Sufis
and the Tibetan Lamas-
<b
r>and familiarized him with the Zen teaching of the
Japanese Society of the Green Dragon.
