These links are crucial to understanding the early years of the Nazi Party and the formation of Hitler's ideology. The first chapter will examine the cultural climate of Munich which set the tone for the rise of the Nazi Party. The second chapter will examine the lives of Karl Haushofer, Rudolf Heß, and Rudolf Freiherr von Sebottendorff, head of the Thule Society. This examination will show that the influences on their lives made them susceptible to the messages emanating from the right. Chapter three will tell the tale of the Battle of Munich, which is the crucial moment in Munich society following the end of the First World War. Chapter four will examine the links between Haushofer, Heß, Sebottendorff and Hitler to fill in the gaps in the historical record. 530 Electronic version(s) |bavailable internally at USHMM. 533 Photocopy. |bAnn Arbor, Mich. : |cUMI Dissertation Services, |d2004. |e22 cm. 590 Dissertations and Theses 591 Record updated by Marcive processing 21 June 2024 600 10 Hitler, Adolf, |d1889-1945 |xFriends and associates. 600 10 Haushofer, Karl, |d1869-1946. 600 10 Hess, Rudolf, |d1894-1987. 610 20 Thule-Gesellschaft. 610 20 Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiter-Partei. 856 41 |uhttp://proquest.umi.com/pqdweb?did=766544951&sid=8&Fmt=6&clientId=54617&RQT=309&VName=PQD |zElectronic version from ProQuest 956 41 |u http://dc.ushmm.org/library/bib97693/MQ76154.pdf |z Hosted by USHMM. 994 X0 |bLHM 852 0 |bstacks |hDD247.H5 |iM35 2002 852 |bwww 852 |bebook
