The 2 men decided that the time had come to seize power by force. Hitler and his stormtroopers interrupted a meeting of leading bavarian politicians. Is that hitler burst into the meeting. Shots from a revolver were fired at the ceiling. There was a somewhat farcical aspect to it all. Hitler arrived fired his pistol and gave a Speech School Charlie Chaplins portrayal of him didnt exist yet get your but you can imagine that Something Like that. Threatened everyone who didnt want to follow him. The attempted to what became known as the beer hall put failed the demonstration led by hitler in the streets encountered a police cordon. 16 nazis were killed and the subsequent exchange of fire hitler brought himself to safety but was later arrested. When hitler arrived in landsberg prison 60 kilometers from munich he was in a state of utter desperation. As a brick on the settled we know that hitler weighed 73 kilograms when he arrived and a few days later he fell into a depression and began a hunger strike. In the top you love him m. G. Coherently considered suicide after the failed putsch it was a pitiful failure. In addition to failing to gain the support he hoped for in bavaria hitler become a laughing stock in all the newspapers. From cell number 7 of landsberg prison hitler could have faded into obscurity instead he found a new purpose. Hitler knew he faced a possible Death Penalty for treason for the 1st time in his life he decided to write some 60 pages intended as a defense in his upcoming trial. In state of the ups and therefore this is where he came up with the idea for a larger work about his experiences. And his enemies when he wanted to settle the score with his political opponents. 3 months later the trial began amid considerable media interest. And this photograph shows hitler and his 9 coconspirators. The rest pled not guilty to high treason rather than deny the charges hitler admitting to wanting to overthrow the government. He used the trial as a stage. As a platform communed. On hitler had charisma and that captured many people around him. Thats what was so disastrous and his ability to exert so much influence over people. In the top people hung on his every word everything he dreamt up every fantasy thing and people just believed it as your thought does not interest this kid of. General attitude and off was acquitted the remaining defendants were given light sentences. Ready ready for hitler the trial was a victory he had risked the Death Penalty instead he was sentenced to just 5 years in prison of which he would serve only 9 months. As an inmate headlands bag hitler lived in relative luxury he had access to newspapers and drank tea from porcelain cups his room boasted a beautiful view of the countryside he wore his own clothes and was able to hold court with fellow inmates. He found new friends and deepen ties with coconspirators michael hess who would become a central figure in the 3rd rise. In the song think is go into the common room whenever they like during the day and have discussions. Of some of it it was on a memo saying it was more like a social club or. Delete topic. In this rather upscale person hitler was treated like a celebrity. His trial had made him famous. He received no end of visitors and gifts cake fly. Hours and fan mail like this letter which opened with a line dear fervor. The bavarian social and political elite flocked to speak with him his visitors log was full to bursting some 330 visitors with every conversation registered down to the last minute. A range of high profile visitors went to lance bass including general lute doff. Wagner star in law giving fled sent letters and parcels. Many benefactors urged him to continue writing. Stein of the best piano maker dynasty is said to have given him a new remington portable typewriter. She was a frequent visitor its believed she would have been the one who provided what was such an expensive machine at the time the typewriter in those days was quite a sensation. Hitler had time on his hands his Political Party had to be rebuilt and he had court costs and legal fees to pay a book seemed like a good idea. Persistent myth was born during this period that hitler orator would not have written anything himself instead he dictated his thoughts to a meal more peace and hold office. But recent research has concluded that hitler typed at least the 1st volume of his manifesto himself in prison. For wrote the 1st volume in lines back by himself of his couldnt type very well and only started learning how to type in prison and none of the others helped him either he talked about it alone on his typewriter the idea that. Hitler dictated his book in landsberg is a myth its simply untrue. Hitler recast his own history with himself in the starring role. Hes believed to have read dozens of books in prison and his manifesto was steeped in theories of racial hierarchy such as those set out by french writer artur to go be no he also drew heavily on the ideas put forth inflates lances textbook human heredity and human hygiene. Now discredited pseudo scientific theories of this type were widely accepted at the time. Journalists disseminated these ideas as a matter of course. They served as a source of inspiration. He collected all these theories and brought them into our a pulse of soup in order to munch just something more you know he was able to give these books and these racist ideas a repulsive nightmarish coherence. As the months passed hitler continued to hone his world view of a superior area and race essentially the germans who were cast in a constant struggle for racial purity. Their greatest enemy were the jews supposedly racial parasite. The jew is and remains the typical parasite a sponger who like a noxious bacillus keeps spreading as soon as a favorable medium invites him and the effect of his existence is also like that of spongers wherever he appears the host dies out after a shorter or longer period. The word used in the jews appears over and over again in mind come. 373 times on average every other page. Hitler was obsessed with the jews and believed that they were responsible for all ills that had befallen germany including its defeat in the 1st world war. In this. Tries to convince the germans that the jews are behind International Conspiracy to destroy germany the minute he speak to surface is the cause of all their problems but he traverses the entire range of anti sematic discourse and brings it to its culmination. Late 1924 hitler left landsberg prison with a manuscript running into the hundreds of pages. He had little difficulty finding a publisher for his anti semitic tract hitler was famous and Publishing Houses eager to cash in. Over his 1st books about him had been published and he was being talked about in the newspapers perhaps he wasnt quite a media star. But he was definitely very well known outside of area too and even to an extent outside germany sometimes look at you but thought Something Else because. The possibility of publishing his 1st book his autobiography was very attractive. With such a wealth of options hitler chose the publisher who offered him the best deal. Was a friend and his former Company Sergeant during the 1st world war. Headed a small Publishing House and shared hitlers extremist ideology. But before the book was published there was the question of finding the right title. Riginal title was 4 and a half years of struggle against laws stupidity and cowardice. In the title was very descriptive but not very catchy. Alleged the publisher insisted on a shorter title in court and. The title was supposed to be short pithy and captivating. Its not known who ultimately determine the title. But the decision was made to call it my income my struggle. The publisher advertised the book in the far right press. In december 925 what i had described the 2nd edition as the perfect christmas gift. Much to the surprise of many sales failed to take off. Several 1000 copies found buyers among convinced nazis but the wider public chilled little interest. And the book received some scathing reviews. Once with daily for example we further to hitler as a political agitation who no longer understands the world and his ideas were the result of a desperate adherence to an error in reasoning. The truth is that my income is largely unreadable. Do this contemporary is regarded as a hodgepodge of ideas. Of an uncontrolled volcanic eruption is that if the public had been expecting sensational revelations about the porch. On scene they hoped that hitler would reveal insider secrets previously unknown details. Of seeing the they had very High Expectations and hope the book would be political dynamite that was not what mine com was about. Hitler persevered in 1928 he wrote a 2nd book that became known as hitlers secret book. The sequel was also a bureau linley aggressive work but it remained unprinted during hitlers lifetime the publisher turned it down citing the poor sales of my income. Mine come might also have faded into obscurity. But history was about to take a fateful turn. In 929 a severe economic depression hit the United States by 930 its impact was in full force in an already economically weakened many by 932 germany had an official Unemployment Rate of almost 30 percent. In the 1930 elections traditional parties saw fallen support Hitlers Nazi Party went from just under 3 percent to 18 percent of the vote. Sales of mine kampf suddenly soared. It sold 54000 copies in 1930 alone. People wanted to know what hitler was thinking. What he wanted he had now become part of the german political system. The book also helped boost hitlers image in his quest for power. Saswata into stablished hitlers credibility now he was no longer regarded simply as a political agitator an orator but a writer too for not in that mattered in germany germany was still a country that respected its doctors and professors. I may well. In 933 hitler surprise the world with his sudden rise to power. He was appointed german chancellor despite having garnered only 37 percent of the vote. It threw me when he would need to unite germany behind him to achieve the greatness and the conquests he had fantasized about in my own conference. With use of goebbels at his side he drew on one of the ideas he talked about in his book propaganda. All effective propaganda must be limited to a very few points and must reiterate these slogans until every member of the public understands what you want him to understand by your slogan. What is the tools for influencing the masses was mind con it soon became required reading for government employees. In 936 the state began giving a copy to newlyweds as a wedding gift. By then hitler had won over much of german industry thanks to his re Armaments Program porters increased up to enfold Companies Like steel make a club gave every employee a copy of the book. It was given as a gift on birthdays and anniversaries. Or as a bonus for good performance analysts. To boost sales the publisher offered every imaginable format braille editions for the blind. Luck seditions with marble covers and gilt edging. And a limited edition for high ranking nazi dignitaries. And the ultimate in propaganda a large version in the format of a family bible. And this is a hassle for simplicity of the nazis it was a symbol of domination the bible of naziism and it on more than one the book itself was it symbolic functions and so on that never once said yes i know mine come from is the furious book. The regime ensured that the book would become a bestseller and it made hitler a rich man. He received the equivalent of around 10000000. 00 euros in royalties those proceeds enabled him to buy the balco fila in the bavarian alps. And he indulged his penchant for luxurious mercedes limousines. Just. By 994. 00 a total of 12 and a half 1000000 copies have been printed in germany the book form and hitler in the round one writes mark per copy which meant the book earned him at least 12000000 marks must mean the 1st in the on ice model and reasonable for d. And. Mine kampf was widely distributed but what is more difficult to gauge is was it also widely read with 700 pages and labored style the book presumably put on for many readers. In 1940 karlheinz skinner was drafted into the German Military as a medic his father had been given a copy of my income from his employer. But he wasnt fond of the gift. My father put the book on a shelf are not where it stayed until 945. He once took a look at it and said it was a declaration of war and simple. And hed never read such rubbish. Like many germans at the time karlheinz clinton and his father underestimated hitler. But my then hitler we didnt think hitler was ok in the head. When we didnt take him seriously and and we figured that whatever hed written would have to be poppycock. And we just didnt think he was all there given we made jokes about him. But perhaps we should have taken him more seriously. Then the. Other families did take the book more seriously. Grew up on the outskirts of berlin the spree river. He still remembers the 1st time he heard of mine count. In 1938 lutes was just 6 years old his father otto was an architect one evening he invited his friends over to talk about hitler spoke. I was sat under the table instead of going to bed because i was curious about what was going on when i grew up hearing my father say you have to read the book theyll. Read what it says. And of course they werent talking about the bible or another book. What about mine comfort of musicians of my income. Doesnt know if his fathers friends follow his advice but he does know that his father was one of the few germans who understood what calamities the book foretold. He was of the opinion that my income explained everything that the nazis were planning to do. When i was a child back then all hitler ever talked about was peace peace peace and in reality he was determined to go to war in 4 words of them that i love cost. Hitler wanted his preparations for war to remain a secret. He realized that his books might reveal his true intentions especially the passages that spoke of his plans for conquest. We must hold unflinchingly to our aim in Foreign Policy namely to secure for the german people the land and soil to which they are entitled on this earth. His desire for more land was at the time directed at one country in particular. France is and remains by far the most inexorable enemy. My income predicts or in any case legitimizes the idea of military revenge against france. That there were a lot of pages full of aggression aimed at france which he saw as a symbol of race mixing it was a nation of negroes thats the word hitler used. And a ration of juice or. If the french were to take these threats seriously they might prevent german we armament so hitler took preemptive action. In november 933 he received a visit from a french journalist in berlin. Fernandez hope for closer relations between france and germany. He spoke german and had undoubtedly read the relevant passages in mind count. Hitler offered him a scoop the 1st excl
