An Analysis of Hitler's Mein Kampf

"Sheer lies can work just as well if the preconceptions between the leader and his supporters are well-founded. (…) As soon as these lies become part of the collective identity of the group, they give rise to their own obligations, and failure to fulfill these obligations is considered weakness or betrayal. History is full of radical movements." It is full of examples of leaders becoming captives of their own words, and the increasing intra-group pressures against the increasing conflict of lies with truth become binding, so that they adopt and own with great seriousness statements that were initially just rhetoric playing with fire and which, under different circumstances, could burst as a verbal radicalism. It leaves no choice but to get out."

A study that explains how Hitler's Mein Kampf was effective with its mentality, manner, mood, "tone of voice" rather than its content... An analysis of the fanatic worldview with the display of "will" and "determination" that left its mark on fascism... What is this fanaticism? A sharp observation about how it can thrive in conditions of social upheaval, by appealing to the frustrations it appeals to, and how it can spread, especially in "semi-intellectual" environments... This little book was appreciated for its success in its concise and deep analysis of Hitler, Mein Kampf and the world of the national socialist mentality.

"In his clever and impressive essay, literary scholar Albrecht Koschorke analyzes the dictator's speaking technique and makes it understandable how his propaganda attracted people." Wolfgang Schneider / Radio Germany
