Aloisia V
One of the thousands of victims of the Nazi regime's programme to kill mentally ill people was a relative of Adolf Hitler, two historians said yesterday.
The woman, identified only as Aloisia V, was 49 when she was gassed to death on December 6 1940 in Hartheim castle near the northern Austrian city of Linz, Timothy Ryback said.
Mr Ryback, an American who now lives in Salzburg and heads the Obersalzberg Institute in Berchtesgaden, Germany, said the details surrounding the woman's death surfaced last week, after Obersalzberg archivist Florian Beierl gained access to her medical file at a Vienna medical institution where she had been treated.

30 January 1939
Hitler's 'prophecy' speech to the Reichstag
'In the course of my life I have very often been a prophet, and have usually been ridiculed for it.
During the time of my struggle for power, it was in the first instance the Jewish race that received my prophecies with laughter - when I said that I would one day take over the leadership of the State, and with it that of the whole nation, and that I would then, among many other things, settle the Jewish problem.
I think that for some time now they have been laughing on the other side of their face (laughter).
Today I will once more be a prophet.
If the international Jewish financiers, inside and outside Europe, succeed in plunging the nations once more into a world war, then the result will not be the Bolshevisation of the earth, and thus the victory of Jewry, but the annihilation of the Jewish race in Europe!'
On the sixth anniversary of his rise to power, the Führer provided a horrifying resolution to the 'Jewish problem'.
In this clip he made a prophecy that a world war would result in the annihilation of all European Jews.
The audio has been reproduced by courtesy of Stiftung Deutsches Rundfunkarchiv in Frankfurt, Germany.

June 1938
Adolf Hitler ordered Munich's main synagogue to be demolished in June 1938
The synagogue was one of the first in Germany to be torn down during Hitler's rule, authorities say.
It had been a center of Jewish life and a major Munich landmark.
The massive building was designed by prominent German architect Albert Schmidt and opened in 1887.
It had more than 1,500 seats and served as the city's main synagogue, Purin says.
And it had been in use for barely a half-century when Hitler ordered its demolition in June 1938 — months before Kristallnacht (or the November Pogrom) wrought the destruction of hundreds of synagogues across the country.
Purin says two main reasons explain why this particular synagogue was one of just a small handful razed so early.
For one, the Nazi party, which was founded and headquartered in Munich, simply didn't want such a huge synagogue there.
"The synagogue was very close to a main art gallery with a restaurant where Hitler liked to have dinner when he was in Munich," Purin says.
"And ... he had to look out at the synagogue, [which] he disliked."
Hitler deemed the structure an eyesore and personally ordered its removal, the Jewish Telegraphic Agency reported at the time.
It also served as a "test" for Kristallnacht, to see how the German public would react to the destruction of a synagogue, according to Purin.
There was no reaction, he said.
The Nazi movement was also targeting Catholic and Protestant churches, he added, and Hitler had ordered the demolition of a Protestant church around the same time, which prompted considerable backlash.
"And so they saw it's quite difficult to start demolishing churches, but no problem with demolishing synagogues," he said.

Hitler’s ‘Mein Kampf’

1945, en Allemagne. Devant les caméras de la propagande de guerre, des soldats américains fondent les plaques qui servaient à imprimer Mein Kampf.
Vingt ans plus tôt, le chef nazi Adolf Hitler mettait en circulation son texte d’une violence rare, dans lequel il dévoilait son programme.
Mein Kampf contient-il un poison qu’on ne saurait conjurer ?
La question a ressurgi lorsque les droits du livre sont tombés dans le domaine public, le 1er janvier 2016, après avoir cessé d'être détenus par le seul État régional allemand de Bavière, qui les avait reçus des forces d'occupation américaines au lendemain de la Seconde guerre mondiale.
Ce 2 juin, une maison d’édition française, Fayard, mettra en circulation un imposant volume de 1 000 pages, à la mise en page réduite au strict minimum.
Une version de "Mein Kampf" assortie d’un important appareil critique et dont le titre, “Historiciser le mal”, laisse bien comprendre qu’il s’agit plus d’un travail universitaire que d’une simple réédition.

Germany
the Dolchstosslegende, or stab-in-the-back myth.
amid the implosions of Imperial Germany, powerful conservatives who led the country into war refused to accept that they had lost.
Their denial gave birth to arguably the most potent and disastrous political lie of the 20th century — the Dolchstosslegende, or stab-in-the-back myth.
Its core claim was that Imperial Germany never lost World War I.
Defeat, its proponents said, was declared but not warranted.
It was a conspiracy, a con, a capitulation — a grave betrayal that forever stained the nation.
That the claim was palpably false didn’t matter.
Among a sizable number of Germans, it stirred resentment, humiliation and anger.
And the one figure who knew best how to exploit their frustration was Adolf Hitler.
In 1918, Germany was staring at defeat.
The entry of the United States into the war the year before, and a sequence of successful counterattacks by British and French forces, left German forces demoralized.
Navy sailors went on strike.
They had no appetite to be butchered in the hopeless yet supposedly holy mission of Kaiser Wilhelm II and the loyal aristocrats who made up
the Supreme Army Command. joined the strikes and demands for a republic grew.
On Nov. 9, 1918, Wilhelm abdicated, and two days later the army leaders signed the armistice.
It was too much to bear for many: Military officers, monarchists and right-wingers spread the myth that if it had not been for political sabotage by Social Democrats and Jews back home, the army would never have had to give in.
The deceit found willing supporters.
“Im Felde unbesiegt” — “undefeated on the battlefield” — was the slogan with which returning soldiers were greeted.
Newspapers and postcards depicted German soldiers being stabbed in the back by either evil figures carrying the red flag of socialism or grossly caricatured Jews.
By the time of the Treaty of Versailles the following year, the myth was already well established.
The harsh conditions imposed by the Allies, including painful reparation payments, burnished the sense of betrayal.
It was especially incomprehensible that Germany, in just a couple of years, had gone from one of the world’s most respected nations
to its biggest loser. about the Dolchstosslegende is this:
It did not grow weaker after 1918 but stronger.
In the face of humiliation and unable or unwilling to cope with the truth, many Germans embarked on a disastrous self-delusion:
The nation had been betrayed, but its honor and greatness could never be lost.
And those without a sense of national duty and righteousness — the left and even the elected government of the new republic — could never be legitimate custodians of the country.
In this way, the myth was not just the sharp wedge that drove the Weimar Republic apart.
It was also at the heart of Nazi propaganda, and instrumental in justifying violence against opponents.
The key to Hitler’s success was that, by 1933, a considerable part of the German electorate had put the ideas embodied in the myth — honor, greatness, national pride — above democracy.
The Germans were so worn down by the lost war, unemployment and international humiliation that they fell prey to the promises of a “Führer” who cracked down hard on anyone perceived as “traitors,” leftists and Jews above all.
The stab-in-the-back myth was central to it all.
When Hitler became chancellor on Jan. 30, 1933, the Nazi newspaper Völkischer Beobachter wrote that “irrepressible pride goes through the millions” who fought so long to “undo the shame of 9 November 1918.”
Germany’s first democracy fell.
Without a basic consensus built on a shared reality, society split into groups of ardent, uncompromising partisans.
And in an atmosphere of mistrust and paranoia, the notion that dissenters were threats to the nation steadily took hold.

Adolf Hitler, la photo trop parfaite
LE MONDE 14.04.2014 à 09h34 Par André Loez
Il s’agit sans doute de la plus célèbre photographie du début de
la guerre. Une foule dense se presse sur l’Odeonsplatz, à Munich, le 2 août
1914, pour célébrer l’entrée en guerre de l’Allemagne contre la Russie, déclarée
la veille. Dans un cercle à la droite de l’image, un agrandissement permet de
bien distinguer l’une de ces figures enthousiastes : on reconnaît la moustache
et la mèche caractéristiques d’Adolf Hitler, sujet autrichien de 25 ans, qui va
bientôt s’engager au 16e régiment d’infanterie de réserve bavarois pour ce qu’il
décrira ensuite comme l’expérience la plus exaltante de son existence. Le cliché
semble ainsi fixer la rencontre parfaite d’un destin individuel, celui du futur
Führer, et d’un sentiment collectif, celui de l’unité nationale exaltée, au tout
début du conflit.
