The second volume is full of glory and splendor in the capital, and the spirit is full of vitality in the foggy city. Chapter 280 The Jews (Part 2)
Subtitle of this chapter: Let me change the little mustache's worldview!
"Oh, yes, the Jews..."
Seeing that the other party wanted to speak, our Master Yuan raised his index finger and shook it, saying, "Mr. Hitler, please don't tell me what you just said. Now that you have heard the information I just gave you about you, you should know that I know your attitude towards the Jews..."
"But that's none of our business. How you want to fool the Germans is your own business..." "He" shrugged his shoulders and said seriously, "Honestly, if you really believe what you're saying, we should seriously consider our cooperation."
"Now……"
“ Clatter…”
"He" pushed away the pots and pans on the table, leaned forward, and clasped his fingers together, making the signature pose of Commander Gendō Ikari.
"Listen to me..."
Hitler's religious beliefs were complex and complex.
Given his upbringing, it was difficult for him not to become a Catholic, and in fact, he did want to become a priest when he was young.
When he visited the solemn and splendid church of the Benedictine monastery mentioned above, he was immediately "intoxicated". The abbot of the monastery became his idol, and he also hoped to enter the church himself.
"I have had the privilege of reveling in the splendor of the solemn and splendid church festivals. As the village priest once seemed to my father, so too does the abbot seem to me the highest and most desirable ideal."
By the way, there is an arch bridge on the way from the monastery to his house, with the monastery's shield emblem engraved on it - the most prominent one is a swastika.
Later, Adolf said to others, "When he was a child, his most ardent wish was to be a pastor. He often borrowed the kitchen maid's apron, draped it over his shoulders as a sacred garment, and then he would lie on a chair and preach for a long time and enthusiastically."
Of course, the child's enthusiasm faded quickly, and after Hitler left home, he never attended a Catholic mass.
However, as a shrewd politician, he adopted a "tolerant" attitude towards Christianity.
The 20th point of the Nazi Party's "Twenty-Five Points" is: "We strongly demand that the state grant freedom of all religious beliefs, as long as they do not endanger ourselves or conflict with the cultural customs and moral sentiments of the Germanic people. Our party thus represents a positive Christian position and does not identify itself with any particular faith."
So, like the "Hanged Man", "Temperance" has a very good relationship with the Vatican.
In 1929, Mussolini signed a treaty with the Vatican, allowing the Vatican to establish itself as a "state within a state."
In fact, the Vatican’s independence to this day is also due to the efforts of this great dictator.
Consider the cheesy mutual flattery between the Church and Fascist leader Benito Mussolini. Pope Pius XI praised Mussolini as "the man God has given us." Meanwhile, Italian Fascists declared Mussolini and the Pope "the two greatest men of modern Italy."
With the help of the "Hanged Man", "Temperance" and the Vatican reached a religious agreement. The church agreed not to allow priests and religious figures to participate in politics; Hitler agreed to give complete freedom to churches and Sunday schools throughout Germany.
The Vatican even expressed gratitude for being recognized as a full partner and prayed for God to bless the Third Reich.
A more practical action was that Pope Pius XI ordered all German bishops to pledge loyalty to the National Socialist government.
The new oath concluded with the profound words: "While fulfilling my ministry and remaining silent for the welfare of the German Empire, I will do my utmost to avoid actions that endanger the Reich."
"Silence"... what a great word! It allowed Catholic churches across Europe to turn a blind eye to the Nazi atrocities.
Pope Pius XII, who succeeded Pope Pius XI, strongly supported Hitler's military action against Russia .
The reason was simple: the Soviet Union was not only the largest atheist, communist state at the time, but Eastern Europe was also the heartland of the Eastern Orthodox Church. Destroying the Soviet Union and occupying Russia was a feat comparable to the Crusades.
The Vatican’s troubles did not end there. In 1932, when the puppet state of Manchukuo was established, the first country it recognized was naturally Japan, and the second “country” it recognized was the Vatican.
In addition to Christianity, Hitler readily cooperated with Islam to deal with the British, Russians, and Jews. The 13th SS Mountain Division, the first non-German division of the SS, was a "what-the-hell" division, with a crescent-shaped scimitar as its emblem.
I wonder if he still remembered at that time what he said in "Mein Kampf" that Arabs, who are a Semitic people like the Jews, are also an inferior race that should be wiped out.
Fans of Germany in a certain big country in the East really don’t need to fantasize anymore.
In the eyes of the Führer, the status of the Serbs was similar to that of the Negroes. "It is an incomprehensible ideological error that a Negro or a Chinese will become a German just because he learns German and is willing to speak German in the future."
He had a high opinion of the Japanese, "The Russo-Japanese War made me more mature. I decided my position at that time because of nationalism, and I immediately stood on the side of the Japanese. I realized that the failure of the Russians was also the failure of Austro-Slavism."
He even thinks that "Shinto is a pretty good religion."
In the history of The Man in the High Castle, Manchuria, Taiwan, Hainan, and all the southeastern coastal areas were incorporated into the direct territories of the Empire of Japan, while the inland areas were part of the "Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere".
Honestly, this is worse than Serbia under the rule of Lin Beitui. Even if that is a large India with "100 million people and 1 billion animals", the Serbian people are not slaves of a conquered country, and can even be proud of being the largest "democratic country".
It is obvious that Hitler did not have any strong religious beliefs.
It is also evident that he had a strong mystical streak.
This is the disadvantage of "Liu Xiang originally did not read". During his wandering in Vienna, he read too many mystical pamphlets that promoted anti-Semitism and Aryan racism.
For a young man who has not received orthodox education , these poisonous weeds will inevitably have some adverse effects on him.
In 1918, Hitler came to Munich, met Adam Gravitt, and developed an indissoluble bond with the Thule Society founded by him.
This secret organization was originally named the German Knights of the Holy Grail of Volvath. Ostensibly dedicated to the study of the "legend of the Holy Grail," it actually inherited the legacy of British scholar House Chamberlain. Chamberlain was a fervent anti-Semite. He believed that the Aryan race was the most superior and that its pure bloodline must be preserved for the world's future.
After the failure of the Nazi Beer Hall Putsch, the Thule Society continued to exist openly as a social force supporting the Nazi Party.
Later, the Nazi Party was in chaos, with all sorts of things like the Ancient Ruins Research Society, the Aryan Breeding Program, Atlantis, the World Axis, the SS Witch Task Force, and the Witch Library., are inseparable from the Thule Society.
"Luckily" on this timeline, we have our "Lord Fool" and his SCP Foundation, as well as his increasingly perfect alternate history...
Then who else but “him” can accomplish this great feat of refreshing “His Highness the Moderate”’s worldview?
