National Socialism

Sept. 9, 2013

Carolyn covers several topics with the common thread of the overwhelming presence of Jews in our lives and societies. For instance:

• Kenneth Waltzer’s Michigan State University-sponsored exhibition extolling Michigan's Jews and how their well-being was threateed by “Nazism” in Europe and World War II;
• Compare treatment of Hitler bodyguard Rochas Misch after the war with that of Hitler assassin Ewald-Heinrich von Kleist-Schmenzin who went on to become a major globalist and American stooge;
• Nephew of the Jew who captured Rudolf Höss discovers his daughter Brigitte living undetected in Northern Virginia and gets interview;
• The White Rose Society was made up of a few U. of Munich medical students who came from families that were anti-Hitler, strongly religious and Jew-friendly;
• They distributed leaflets during 1942-43 calling for military defeat in order to accomplish the overthrow of the National-Socialist regime, and have been glorified as martyrs in post-war Germany, similar to the "Valkyrie" July 20 conspirators;
• Ringleader and half-Russian Alexander Schmorell has even been made a New Martyr by the “Russian Orthodox Church Outside Russia.”

Retailing in the Midwest had long been in the hands of the Jews, while they comprised 8/10 of 1% of the Michigan population.

On Sept. 26, 1939, Leopold's group of soon-to-be-graduates pose with their educator Ltn. Geissler who, like others, had been drafted for military service. Younger educators arrived to take their place. Leopold is 2nd from the left in the second row.

These letters from July to November 1939 are the last ones written from the NPEA (Napola) school in Köslin,  Pomerania (Northeast Germany). The young men's schooling ended a bit early; if their grades and demeanor warranted, they were granted what Americans would call the High School diploma and were inducted into the Luftwaffe as officer volunteers in training (cadets). They still had to complete the A, B and C flight training in order to earn their basic pilot's license.

July 1939:  Yesterday, we had theoretical lessons followed by a test. I passed my theoretical A-exam. Because we will probably go back to Köslin tomorrow [from flight training in Rossiten -cy], we have our goodbye evening today with the other flight students and flight instructors. We will probably receive our A-certificate and badges.

I'll answer dad's question now. Gilbert and I were in Köslin for the military physical. We were checked for aviator suitability before, but everyone has to go through the aptitude test and is then assigned to an armed service branch (Air Service, Flak, Weather Company, Aviation Spotter, Av. Intelligence, Av. Sciences, Av. Engineer, etc.) In the end, everyone arrives at the branch of the Luftwaffe for which he best qualifies.

Motorsports school in Dramburg, July 15-31, 1939.

All of the 120 young men of the Aviator group of a hundred were divided into subgroups. Some stayed in Köslin (including Gilbert), others went to Hornberg in Swabia, others to Dramburg (Motorsports-School), others to Neumühlenkamp in Pomerania, and we went to Rositten [home of the "Deutsche Forschungsanstalt für Segelflug (DFS) -, the German Research Society for Gliding. We are 23 young men. I'm one of them and the only Southern-German. Most already had passed the A-exam and continued right away with the B.

 Letter of May 6-May 18, 1939: I will now answer your questions: My birth certificate is in the middle drawer of my desk, in the back. You have hopefully by now received the disclaimer and sent it back.

I was not asked any questions at the exam in Potsdam; it was like regular school and whoever participated regularly was rewarded. The emphasis was on swimming, diving, platform diving, broad jump, 100m sprint, 3km walk, shot put, gymnastics, horse jumping and floor exercises. I was totally numb afterward, and whoever could not handle it was dismissed.

For other assignments, I had to write a letter to my English friend re. Bohemia and Moravia; for math and physics we had to calculate the speed of flight and fall and also describe the car and diesel engine. Plus a written test in Latin, [and] a dictation in English.

I was asked to list some Austrian poets in German. I said Rosegger, Klöpfer, Springenschmied, Itzinger - the educator didn't know them; whereupon I was like, what? You don't know these men of whom some were in possession of the German literature prize? After that, I finished my exams.

This rediscovered bell marks the date in April, 1938 when Hitler, as the "unifier and Führer of all Germans freed the Ostmark from the yoke of suppression of foreign elements and brought it home into the Great German Reich."

The actively hateful and vengeful "Jewish community" in Vienna, Austria is at it again. And they have the Associated Press as their ally.

Not content to have removed the modest stone monument from the burial place of Alois and Clara Hitler, parents of native son and future Reich leader Adolf, a year ago, and forced the sale of the plot to new owners - they are now stirring up a stink about a bell that was designed and installed in honor of Hitler by the residents of the village Wolfpassing (approximately 20 miles west from Vienna) in 1939. The bell is part of the history of the village, and of the nation, too.
