      Hitler's love of Antiquity

      Hitler cherished Antiquity since his youth. His favourite character seemed to have been Pericles, who he strongly identified with, although he had a marked preference for Rome over Greece. 

      He was an Antiquity buff. He read during his youth most of the Roman and Greek classics according to J. Greiner, his friend (1910-1913), and E. Hanfstaengl. According to the later, Hitler was still in the 1920s as a political leader a Bücherfresser

      This knowledge Hitler had of the ancient world allowed him to draw teachings for the present. His mental reference points wholly came from Antiquity. That is why, for example, he said the Weimar politicians were new Ephialtes and the police new Herostratus.

      Another example was his banning in 1941 of the so-called Deutsche/Fraktur/Gothische writing styles. Bormann wrote a report on the subject, which said Hitler considered these styles undeutsch and "Jewish" because the Aryan spirit always chooses a clear way for expressing itself.

      In 1941, Hitler forbid to bomb Athens so no treasures of the past were destroyed and deplored he had to fight against the Greeks.

      Hitler's own Pantheon was mostly made of characters coming from the Antiquity. He included in it Charlemagne and the great characters of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries (Bismarck, Napoleon, etc.) but totally disregarded the Hohenstaufens and the other powerful kings such as Louis XIV of France. 

      Needless to say that he abhored Christianity as the destroyer of the ancient world, altough he did not talk much about it in his speeches.

        The book is valuable but not devoid of flaws. For example, the overgraduated scholar – and so the Mister I Know Everything – who wrote it sometimes uses “Hitler’s Table Talk” in order to make Hitler looks like a fool. “Hitler’s Table Talk” is a notorious forgery created by François Genoud, a convert to Islam who funded Islamic terrorism, and therefore reduced himself to a mere pawn in the globalists’s agenda. The numerous books published “after” the WWII and supposed to be transcripts of Hitler’s talks are all deceitful. A part of them makes of Hitler, no joke, a zealous Christian and the other tends to show him as an antichristian who had sympathies for Islam. “After” is enclosed in quotation marks because, for obvious reasons, WWII is still not finished, but will soon be as the destruction of what could remain of Aryan in Europe in 1945 has reduced Europe to a cadaver on whom an exponentially growing number of maggots are feeding themselves, until it is completely devoured.


        You forgot to add Prometheus in Hitler’s “pantheon”. He saw him, and thus was the official position in the Third Reich, as the paragon of Aryanity, which is an extremely serious mistake. It is even difficult to understand how it is possible to make such a mistake, except of being duped of what Aryanity is. This Semitic deity, in revolt against a superior and transcendent authority, is thus a fundamentally negative figure who is the Founding Mother of what would be called humanism during the alleged “Renaissance”. The revolt against any superior and transcendent authority induces a revolt against race too because race is originally a spiritual formative force, and so the baseline for any spiritual life; also, race is in an Aryan the only inalterable character, at least from a biological standpoint. A revolt against the “gods” involves a revolt against one own race as a spiritual formative force and so the denial that race is also characterized in an individual by spiritual and mental attributes. From there, race will only be seen as a set of physical/biological characteristic and, for the most raceless and stupid, only as a “skin color”. Then, it is easy to make one accept miscegenation as something normal and even positive, as it is today in Europe, which will be reduced in 50 years to a Negro-Asian and Judeo-Islamic continent, what should rejoice the aforementioned scholar. The whole alleged “Western” civilization and so-called “modern” World is a promethean abomination, worshipping its totems: Liberty, Equality, Fraternity, Technology, Miscegenation, etc.


        The trained monkey the author is states that national-socialists, by opposing a purely bookish conception of education, and by putting in place one which was primarily based on action, disregarded an old Western tradition which began with Plato and Aristotle, that of contemplation, of “knowledge for knowledge”, which was perpetuated up to the Third Reich.  What is implicit in this assertion is that national-socialists would have “betrayed” the traditional “Western” conception of education. No need to say that this is nonsense since the traditional education of the White European peoples was originally one based on action and that this alleged traditional “Western” contemplative education comes from the “East”, from the Asian peoples, and has gradually infected the White European peoples.


        As to the rhetoric of trained monkey of the author when it comes to oppose to the national-socialist historiography, it is preferable to avoid comments, especially when references are made to individuals such as Hannah Arendt or Theodor Adorno.

          It cannot be stressed enough that most of the rumours and fake legends of Hitler are to be retraced to the so-called Langer report, which also appeared as a paperback book in large quantities and in various languages.

            As for “Hitler’s Table Talk”, you leave undiscussed if it's completely or partly forged. The publishing history of the Table Talks is also more complex since there are various versions of the Table Talks on the market with different persons having been involved aside from Genoud.
