The Nazis

Hitler Gets a Bad Review (Atlantic Monthly, 1933)

With Hitler’s rise to power in 1933, the German-speaking Alice Hamilton (1869 – 1970; sister to the classics scholar, Edith) was assigned the task of reviewing Mein Kampf
(1925) for The Atlantic Monthly. She didn’t like it.

He loves rough, red-blooded words – ‘relentless’, ‘steely’, ‘iron-hearted’, ‘brutal’; his favorite phrase is ‘ruthless brutality’. His confidence in himself is unbounded.
The royalties generated by the sales of Mein Kampf made Adolf Hitler a very rich man. To read about this wealth and Hitler’s financial adviser, click here.

Although Hitler didn’t mention it his book, German-Americans drove him crazy.

Argentina: Silent Nazi Ally (Collier’s Magazine, 1944)

Just back from South America, COLLIER;S correspondent reports on the totalitarian government in Argentina, it’s link to Hitlerism, and what to do to guard our future security.

The Argentine government has harbored spies and saboteurs. Colonel Frederic Wolf, the Himmler of the German Embassy and the latest director of the real Nazi spy ring, remained in Buenos Aires until quite recently. Our military forces have plenty of evidence that Allied ships have been sunk, and American lives have been destroyed as a result of information broadcast from Argentina to U-boat commanders.

‘Healthy Eroticism” in the Third Reich (Coronet Magazine, 1942)

The fruits of the Third Reich Population Policy are shocking indeed. Fifteen and 16-year-old girls are having babies with the blessings of their Hitler Youth leaders. Unwed mothers with illegitimate children have the right to evict married but childless couples from apartment houses…laws are passed entitling unmarried mothers to call themselves ‘Mrs.’ instead of ‘Miss’, and providing state subsides for illegitimate children and crushing taxes for childless adults.

A Child of the Bund… (Collier’s Magazine, 1941)

Similar to the one other piece of W.W. II historic fiction posted on this site, this short story is remarkably brief and to the point. Published weeks before America committed itself to the war, this little ditty was penned by Pat Frank (born Harry Hart Frank: 1908 – 1964) who wished to convey the inherit dangers of allowing the Nazi-sympathizing German American Bund to operate unchecked in the land of the free and home of the brave.

A tight little story succinctly told: print it out and read it.


The other short story is called Nesei Homecoming.

Adolf Hitler and Women (Click Magazine, 1939)

This article about Adolf Hitler and women appeared on the newsstands two months prior the start of the Second World War, when the world learned how evil a man the lunatic truly was. The journalist wanted to confirm that there was no truth to the 1939 rumor that Hitler was dead and quickly began musing about other rumors:

More feasible is the theory that the sexless madman of Naziland is still alive and has merely discovered that he gets a vicarious thrill out of having women around him and likes to watch acrobatic dance routines.

Photographed in this article is Frau Scholtz-Klink, who had been dubbed the perfect Nazi woman by the Reichfuehrer, in addition to three curvy American burlesque dancers who performed before Hitler.

A Woman’s Place Within the Third Reich (Collier’s Magazine, 1933)

One of the kindest things you could possibly say about the Nazis is that they were sexists – and if you wanted to back your thesis up with anecdotes, facts and figures, you would read the attached article from 1933:

To say that woman’s place is in the home is understatement, so far as Adolf Hitler is concerned. Certainly she’s not to be allowed in the library. Intellectual life, as well as all business and legal affairs, is a purely masculine enterprise in the Third Reich. And the women, most of them, in hysterical devotion to their leader, obey. Mr. Quentin Reynolds, in a series of brilliant pictures, presents the women of modern Germany; triumphant and desperate.

Life in Hitlerland (Ken Magazine, 1938)

It’s a prison or a concentration camp if they catch you tuned in on a forbidden radio program in Hitlerland. And they will take your driver’s license away if even once you are overheard making a careless or joking remark that could be interpreted as ‘out of sympathy with the spirit of the new state’. So even in the apparently private little world bounded by the turning wheels of your own closed car, you must think long and hard like a badgered witness under cross-examination, before you dare open your mouth…

Only Über-Blondes Need Apply…(Ken Magazine, 1938)

This article covers a weird Nazi scheme to create the future rulers of the Reich. It is such a bizarre plan and it seemed to us that if it weren’t true, we would have had to rely on Robert Ludlum to dream it up for us:

The idea took root in the fertile brain of Minister of Propaganda, Dr. Joseph Goebbels, also known as the ‘Limping Devil’…’Heroes are both born and trained’, is the Nazi slogan. The future leaders are taken under the government’s wings at the age of ten.’

-and over a period of about twelve years they would have been dragged around from one Harry Potter-style-castle to another being schooled in Nazi dogma and all other assorted Nordic pagan weirdness and then, after having jumped through a number of additional Teutonic hoops, they would be posted in top government positions.
A fascinating look into the queer thinking of the Nazi hierarchy.
