Through chapter 7, he tells the story of life being a soldier in World War I, he explains the that enemy propaganda in 1915 and how it turned the army what the enemy wanted it to be. He felt as if the war was only going to continue forever, people at home were therefore awaiting peace, but militarism and the Kaiser, they were not waging war on Germany rather than against solely guilty party the kaiser. He believes that the propaganda issue would be held better if he were to be charge of the situation.
Just talks about the different types of propaganda. • Hitler called Germany the “Fatherland”
A lot of raising confidence of the enemy, In 1916 October 7th Hitler was injured and was on his way home. During The transfer back to Germany, he heard a soldier talking about how he was glorifying himself after getting wounded, which hitler detested the idea “with all the means of their contemptible eloquence to make the conceptions of the decent soldiers ridiculous and hold up then spineless coward as an example.” Hitler though it was cowardice of a man, he though the real heroes were the ones that died fighting in the war.
Then he talks of the Jews calls them “indispensable” he accused the Jews of gaining control or power due to the war “While the Jew robbed the whole nation and pressed it beneath his domination”
Chapter 8
At the end of November 1918, he returned to Munich, he did not the soldiers council so he knew he needed to leave, especially with the friend and comrade of his, Schmidt Ernst which he died in 1919 after being in charge of the Revolution. He realizes that although he has many ideas for the “future” and politics, he is just a soldier out of thousands. Knows that he is in nowhere he needs to be to make a difference. He starts to go to a course which makes him feel like he is stepping in the right direction toward his goal. He meets these men hoping to share his point of views. They were convinced that Germany could no longer be saved from the impending collapse by the parties of the November crime, the Center and social democracy.
Hitler became obsessed with the idea of the economy and how “the international stock exchange capital was not only the greatest agitator for the war but but the especially now that the fight is over, it spares no effort to turn peace into hell.” He started to study again, he was given an offer to speak to many and so he did. Hitler gave many lectures, and led “hundreds, indeed thousands of comrades back to their people and fatherland.” He nationalized the troops. This was the first moment he know that there could be a movement with his idea and like-minded comrades.
