The most comprehensive account of the Nazi rise to power I have ever read. I found an original print at a church fete in Grahamstown, South Africa in 2014. Published in 1935, it is a narrative describing how Hitler is the puppet of Gelsenkirchen Bergwerks AG. The holding company that starts out in the ashes of ww1 to rebuild Germany. After having lost the richest steel and coal mines to the French, the Germans rebuild the war machine. The book starts with a map describing the Nazi ambition to conquer Europe, stating that they plan to invade France through either Switzerland or Holland, using mainly aircraft; avoiding the Maginot line completely. This plan was in place more than half a decade before the events took place. And to read in the original print how the author hopes to plan a resistance to the Nazis, is spine-chilling. Especially as we now know how that plan was brutally destroyed. For anyone trying to understand how ww2 occurred, this is the first point of reference. It is full of detail as to how Germany was financed and how, as the economy started disintegrating, their path was meticulously planned to begin the invasion to recapture the coal and steel mines, and then all of Europe.
