    That he is nevertheless one of the most controversial figures among the

    EXPANSIVE TABLE TALK REDUCTIO AD HITLERUM - PART 2

    REDUCTIO AD HITLERUM AS IDEA #75 - 13 DECEMBER 1941: "TIME TO SOLVE THE RELIGIOUS PROBLEM—CONDEMNATION OF THE ORGANISED FALSEHOOD—THE SS AND RELIGION—ST. PAUL AND PRE-BOLSHEVISM—PARADISE: ACCORDING TO CHRISTIANS AND ACCORDING TO MAHOMMEDANS—NEGRO TABUS AND THE EUCHARIST —THE JAPANESE AND RELIGION—MUSSOLINI MAKES A MISTAKE.

    The war will be over one day. I shall then consider that my life's final
    task will be to solve the religious problem. Only then will the life of
    the German native be guaranteed once and for all.

    I don't interfere in matters of belief. Therefore I can't allow
    churchmen to interfere with temporal affairs. The organised lie must be smashed. The State must remain the absolute master.

    When I was younger, I thought it was necessary to set about matters with dynamite. I've since realised that there's room for a little subtlety.
    The rotten branch falls of itself. The final state must be: in St.
    Peter's Chair, a senile officiant; facing him, a few sinister old women,
    as gaga and as poor in spirit as anyone could wish. The young and
    healthy are on our side. Against a Church that identifies itself with
    the State, as in England, I have nothing to say. But, even so, it's impossible eternally to hold humanity in bondage with lies. After all,
    it was only between the sixth and eighth centuries that Christianity was imposed on our peoples by princes who had an alliance of interests with
    the shavelings. Our peoples had previously succeeded in living all right without this religion. I have six divisions of SS composed of men
    absolutely indifferent in matters of religion. It doesn't prevent them
    from going to their deaths with serenity in their souls.

    Christ was an Aryan, and St. Paul used his doctrine to mobilise the
    criminal underworld and thus organise a proto-Bolshevism. This intrusion
    upon the world marks the end of a long reign, that of the clear
    Graeco-Latin genius.

    What is this God who takes pleasure only in seeing men grovel before
    Him? Try to picture to yourselves the meaning of the following, quite
    simple story. God creates the conditions for sin. Later on He succeeds,
    with the help of the Devil, in causing man to sin. Then He employs a
    virgin to bring into the world a son who, by His death, will redeem
    humanity!

    I can imagine people being enthusiastic about the paradise of Mahomet,
    but as for the insipid paradise of the Christians! In your lifetime, you
    used to hear the music of Richard Wagner. After your death, it will be nothing but hallelujahs, the waving of palms, children of an age for the feeding-bottle, and hoary old men. The man of the isles pays homage to
    the forces of nature. But Christianity is an invention of sick brains :
    one could imagine nothing more senseless, nor any more indecent way of turning the idea of the Godhead into a mockery. A negro with his tabus
    is crushingly superior to the human being who seriously believes in Transubstantiation.

    I begin to lose all respect for humanity when I think that some people
    on our side, Ministers or generals, are capable of believing that we
    cannot triumph without the blessing of the Church. Such a notion is
    excusable in little children who have learnt nothing else.

    For thirty years the Germans tore each other to pieces simply in order
    to know whether or not they should take Communion in both kinds. There's nothing lower than religious notions like that. From that point of view,
    one can envy the Japanese. They have a religion which is very simple and brings them into contact with nature. They've succeeded even in taking Christianity and turning it into a religion that's less shocking to the intellect.

    By what would you have me replace the Christians' picture of the Beyond?
    What comes naturally to mankind is the sense of eternity and that sense
    is at the bottom of every man. The soul and the mind migrate, just as
    the body returns to nature. Thus life is eternally reborn from life. As
    for the "why?" of all that, I feel no need to rack my brains on the
    subject. The soul is unplumbable.

    If there is a God, at the same time as He gives man life He gives him intelligence. By regulating my life according to the understanding that
    is granted me, I may be mistaken, but I act in good faith. The concrete
    image of the Beyond that religion forces on me does not stand up to examination. Think of those who look down from on high upon what happens
    on earth: what a martyrdom for them, to see human beings indefatigably repeating the same gestures, and inevitably the same errors!

    In my view, H. S. Chamberlain was mistaken in regarding Christianity as
    a reality upon the spiritual level.

    Man judges everything in relation to himself. What is bigger than
    himself is big, what is smaller is small. Only one thing is certain,
    that one is part of the spectacle. Everyone finds his own role. Joy
    exists for everybody. I dream of a state of affairs in which every man
    would know that he lives and dies for the preservation of the species.
    It's our duty to encourage that idea: let the man who distinguishes
    himself in the service of the species be thought worthy of the highest honours.

    What a happy inspiration, to have kept the clergy out of the Party! On
    the 2ist March 1933, at Potsdam, the question was raised: with the
    Church, or without the Church? I conquered the State despite the
    malediction pronounced on us by both creeds. On that day, we went
    directly to the tomb of the kings whilst the others were visiting
    religious services. Supposing that at that period I'd made a pact with
    the Churches, I'd to-day be sharing the lot of the Duce. By nature the
    Duce is a free- thinker, but he decided to choose the path of
    concessions. For my part, in his place I'd have taken the path of
    revolution. I'd have entered the Vatican and thrown everybody out— reserving the right to apologise later: "Excuse me, it was a mistake."
    But the result would have been, they'd have been outside!

    When all is said, we have no reason to wish that the Italians and
    Spaniards should free themselves from the drug of Christianity. Let's be
    the only people who are immunised against the disease." [pages 143-145]

    REDUCTIO AD HITLERUM AS IDEA #126 - 26 JANUARY 1942: "WOMEN IN POLITICS—AMERICAN METHODS OF PRODUCTION— TOWARDS ANOTHER ECONOMIC CRASH.

    I detest women who dabble in politics. And if their dabbling extends to military matters, it becomes utterly unendurable.

    In no local section of the Party has a woman ever had the right to hold
    even the smallest post. It has therefore often been said that we were a
    party of misogynists, who regarded a woman only as a machine for making children, or else as a plaything. That's far from being the case. I
    attached a lot of importance to women in the field of the training of
    youth, and that of good works. In 1924 we had a sudden upsurge of women
    who were attracted by politics: Frau von Treuenfels and Matilde von
    Kemnitz. They wanted to join the Reichstag, in order to raise the moral
    level of that body, so they said. I told them that 90 per cent of the
    matters dealt with by parliament were masculine affairs, on which they
    could not have opinions of any value. They rebelled against this point
    of view, but I shut their mouths by saying: "You will not claim that you
    know men as I know women." A man who shouts is not a handsome sight. But
    if it's a woman, it's terribly shocking. The more she uses her lungs,
    the more strident her voice becomes. There she is, ready to pull hair
    out, with all her claws showing. In short, gallantry forbids one to give women an opportunity of putting themselves in situations that do not
    suit them. Everything that entails combat is exclusively men's business. There are so many other fields in which one must rely upon women.
    Organising a house, for example. Few men have Frau Troost's talent in
    matters concerning interior decoration. There were four women whom I
    give star roles: Frau Troost, Frau Wagner, Frau Scholtz-Klink and Leni Riefenstahl.

    The Americans are admirable at mass-production, when it's a question of producing a single model repeated without variation in a great number of copies. That's lucky for us, for their tanks are proving unusable. We
    could wish them to build another sixty thousand this year. I don't
    believe in miracles, and I'm convinced that when they come along with
    their twenty-eight-tonners and sixty-tonners, the smallest of our tanks
    will outclass them.

    They have some people there who scent an economic crisis far surpassing
    that of 1929. When one has no substitute product for materials like
    copper, for example, one is soon at the end of one's tether." [pages
    251-252]

    REDUCTIO AD HITLERUM AS IDEA #153 - 20 FEBRUARY 1942: "THE SPIRIT IN PERIL—THE OBSERVATORY AT LINZ—THE FIGHT AGAINST FALSEHOOD, SUPERSTITION AND INTOLERANCE—SCIENCE IS NOT DOGMATIC—THE WORKS OF HÖRBIGER—PAVE THE WAY FOR MEN OF TALENT.

    The biretta!

    The mere sight of one of these abortions in cassocks makes me wild!

    Man has been given his brain to think with. But if he has the misfortune
    to make use of it, he finds a swarm of black bugs on his heels. The mind
    is doomed to the auto-da-fé.

    The observatory I'll have built at Linz, on the Pöstlingberg, I can see
    it in my mind. A façade of quite classical purity. I'll have the pagan temple razed to the ground, and the observatory will take its place.
    Thus, in future, thousands of excursionists will make a pilgrimage there every Sunday. They'll thus have access to the greatness of our universe.
    The pediment will bear this motto: "The heavens proclaim the glory of
    the everlasting". It will be our way of giving men a religious spirit,
    of teaching them humility—but without the priests.

    Man seizes hold, here and there, of a few scraps of truth, but he
    couldn't rule nature. He must know that, on the contrary, he is
    dependent on Creation. And this attitude leads further than the
    superstitions maintained by the Church. Christianity is the worst of the regressions that mankind can ever have undergone, and it's the Jew who, thanks to this diabolic invention, has thrown him back fifteen
    centuries. The only thing that would be still worse would be victory for
    the Jew through Bolshevism. If Bolshevism triumphed, mankind would lose
    the gift of laughter and joy. It would become merely a shapeless mass,
    doomed to greyness and despair.

    The priests of antiquity were closer to nature, and they sought modestly
    for the meaning of things. Instead of that, Christianity promulgates its inconsistent dogmas and imposes them by force. Such a religion carries
    within it intolerance and persecution. It's the bloodiest conceivable.
    The building of my observatory will cost about twelve millions. The
    great planetarium by itself is worth two millions. Ptolemy's one is less expensive.

    For Ptolemy, the earth was the centre of the world. That changed with Copernicus. To-day we know that our solar system is merely a solar
    system amongst many others. What could we do better than allow the
    greatest possible number of people like us to become aware of these
    marvels?
    In any case, we can be grateful to Providence, which causes us to live
    to-day rather than three hundred years ago. At every street-corner, in
    those days, there was a blazing stake. What a debt we owe to the men who
    had the courage—the first to do so—to rebel against lies and
    intolerance. The admirable thing is that amongst them were Jesuit Fathers.

    In their fight against the Church, the Russians are purely negative. We,
    on the other hand, should practise the cult of the heroes who enabled humanity to pull itself out of the rut of error. Kepler lived at Linz,
    and that's why I chose Linz as the place for our observatory. His mother
    was accused of witch- craft and was tortured several times by the Inquisition.

    To open the eyes of simple people, there's no better method of
    instruction than the picture. Put a small telescope in a village, and
    you destroy a world of superstitions. One must destroy the priest's
    argument that science is changeable because faith does not change,
    since, when presented in this form, the statement is dishonest.

    Of course, poverty of spirit is a precious safeguard for the Church. The initiation of the people must be performed slowly. Instruction can
    simplify reality, but it has not the right deliberately to falsify it.
    What one teaches the lower level must not be invalidated by what is said
    a stage higher. In any case, science must not take on a dogmatic air,
    and it must always avoid running away when faced with difficulties. The contra- dictions are only apparent. When they exist, this is not the
    fault of science, but because men have not yet carried their enquiry
    far enough.

    It was a great step forward, in the days of Ptolemy, to say that the
    earth was a sphere and that the stars gravitated around it. Since then
    there has been continual progress along the same path. Copernicus first. Copernicus, in his turn, has been largely left behind, and things will
    always be so. In our time, Hörbiger has made another step forward.

    The universities make me think of the direction of the Wehrmacht's
    technical service. Our technicians pass by many discoveries, and when by chance they again meet one they dis- regarded a few years before, they
    take good care not to remind
    anyone of their mistake.

    At present, science claims that the moon is a projection into space of a fragment of the earth, and that the earth is an emanation of the sun.
    The real question is whether the earth came from the sun or whether it
    has a tendency to approach it. For me there is no doubt that the
    satellite planets are attracted by the planets, just as the latter are themselves attracted by a fixed point, the sun. Since there is no such
    thing as a vacuum, it is possible that the planets' speed of rotation
    and movement may grow slower. Thus it is not impossible, for example,
    that Mars may one day be a satellite of the Earth.

    Hörbiger considers a point of detail in all this. He declares that the element which we call water is in reality merely melted ice (instead of
    ice's being frozen water) : what is found in the universe is ice, and
    not water. This theory amounted to a revolution, and everybody rebelled against Hörbiger.

    Science has a lot of difficulty in imposing its views, because it is constantly grappling with the spirit of routine. The fact is, men do not
    wish to know. In the last few years, the situation of science has improved.

    It's a piece of luck when men are found at the head of a State who are inclined to favour bold researches—for these latter are rarely supported and encouraged by official science.

    There's no greater privilege, in my view, than to play the part of a
    patron of the arts or the sciences. Men would certainly have regarded it
    as a vast honour to be allowed to encourage the career of a man like
    Richard Wagner. Well, it's already a great deal gained that people like
    him are no longer burned alive! One sometimes hears it regretted that
    our period does not provide geniuses of the same stature as those of
    bygone times. That's a mistake. These geniuses exist; it would be enough
    to encourage them. For my part, when I know that a scientist wishes to
    devote himself to new researches, I help him. I shall not cease to think
    that the most precious possession a country can have is its great men.
    If I think of Bismarck, I realise that only those who have lived through
    1918 could fully appreciate his worth. One sees by such examples how
    much it would mean if we could make the road smooth for men of talent.

    It's only in the realm of music that I can find no satisfaction. The
    same thing is happening to music as is happening to beauty in a world dominated by the shavelings—the Christian religion is an enemy to
    beauty. The Jew has brought off the same trick upon music. He has
    created a new inversion of values and replaced the loveliness of music
    by noises. Surely the Athenian, when he entered the Parthenon to
    contemplate the image of Zeus, must have had another impression than the Christian who must resign himself to contemplating the grimacing face of
    a man crucified.
    Since my fourteenth year I have felt liberated from the superstition
    that the priests used to teach. Apart from a few Holy Joes, I can say
    that none of my comrades went on *BELIEVING* *IN* *THE* *MIRACLE* *OF*
    *THE* *EUCHARIST*.

    The only difference between then and now is that in those days I was convinced one must blow up the whole show with dynamite." [Page 322-325]

    REDUCTIO AD HITLERUM AS IDEA #227 - 29? MAY 1942: "LOLA MONTEZ AND
    LUDWIG I OF BAVARIA—HOSTILITY OF THE CHURCH—PERSONALITY OF LUDWIG I—RESPECT FOR RACIAL CHARACTERISTICS.

    On a proposal by Dr. Göbbels to produce a film of LOLA MONTEZ. I welcome
    the idea, but you must take care that neither the fate of this woman nor
    the personality of King Ludwig I of Bavaria is in any way distorted.

    Lola Montez had nothing in common with the dancers of our times,
    strip-tease artists, but was a woman of exceptional intelligence with
    wide experience of the world. She was, too, a woman of character, as is
    shown by the way she resisted the Catholic Church and, in spite of
    enormous pressure, refused to kow-tow to it.

    As regards the personality of Ludwig I, you must be careful, too, not to portray him as first and foremost a "skirt-chaser" (Schürzenjäger). He
    was in every sense a great man, and was the finest architect of his time
    in Europe. The idea and execution of the Valhalla Building alone show
    him to have been a monarch whose vision stretched far beyond the
    confines of his own petty State and embraced the whole pan-German
    panorama. Apart from that, we have to thank him for having given, in the
    city of Munich, a magnificent art centre to the German
    nation.

    That he is nevertheless one of the most controversial figures among the
    Kings of Bavaria is attributable to the fact that the Church never
    ceased to harry him. The attacks of the latter on Lola Montez were only
    a pretext, and it was in reality the strong liberal tendencies of the
    King at which the attacks were aimed.

    You must not, therefore, represent Ludwig I as a King of the Viennese
    charm school, something after the style of Paul Hörbiger, but rather as
    a worthy monarch, and I think Kayssler is the best man for the role.

    While respecting their racial characteristics, I have, in the interests
    of the Reich, divided my Austrian homeland into a series of Alpine and Danubian provinces. I have decided to act in the same way as regards
    other portions of the Reich. I shall not, for example, permit that West Friesland continue to form part of Holland, for these West Frieslanders
    are of exactly the same race as the people of East Friesland and must, therefore, be united with them within a single Province.” [pages 505-506]

    REDUCTIO AD HITLERUM AS IDEA #277 - 4 AUGUST 1942: "MEMORIES OF THE
    FIRST WAR—THE LACE WORKERS OF BELGIUM— YPRES AND LÜBECK.

    When we went into the line in 1916, to the south of Bapaume, the heat
    was intolerable. As we marched through the streets, there was not a
    house, not a tree to be seen; everything had been destroyed, and even
    the grass had been burnt. It was a veritable wilderness.

    In the present campaign I got my greatest surprise when I revisited
    Arras. In the old days it was just a mound of earth. And now— —! Fields filled with blossom and waving corn, while on Vimy Ridge the scars are
    much as they were, shell- holes and all. I believe it is much the same
    in the Champagne.

    The soldier has a boundless affection for the ground on which he has
    shed his blood. If we could arrange the transport, we should have a
    million people pouring into France to revisit the scenes of their former struggle.

    Marching along the roads was a misery for us poor old infantrymen; again
    and again we were driven off the road by the bloody gunners, and again
    and again we had to dive into the swamps to save our skins! All the
    thanks we got was a torrent of curses—"Bloody So-and-Sos" was the
    mildest expression hurled at us.

    My first impression of Ypres was—towers, so near that I could all but
    touch them. But the little infantryman in his hole in the ground has a
    very small field of vision.

    I shall send our people who have been given the task of rebuilding
    Lübeck to Ypres before they start work. Fifty different shades of tiles, from salmon-pink, through gold to deep violet! The new Ypres is a city

    In those days the girls making lace always sat working out- side the
    houses, surrounded, of course, by a horde of soldiery. But at least they
    were able to buy and send home genuine Flemish lace and the embroidery
    of Brabant.

    If a soldier in France buys chocolate or a pair of stockings for his
    wife, I agree absolutely with the Reichsmarshall; we did not start the
    war, and if the French population have got nothing, what the blazes does
    it matter to us!

    I wish to goodness we could buy something here. But here there is
    nothing but mud.” [pages 609-610]

    REDUCTIO AD HITLERUM AS IDEA #303 - 28 AUGUST 1942: "SKY-SCRAPERS—THEIR VULNERABILITY TO AIR ATTACK—ANTI- AIRCRAFT DEFENCE—NEW ARTILLERY WEAPONS—LEARNING WHILE FACING THE ENEMY.

    Some German towns must be protected at all costs—Weimar, Nuremberg, Stuttgart. Factories can always be rebuilt, but works of art are irreplaceable.

    Multi-storeyed houses are reasonably safe against a direct hit from a
    bomb, but not against the subsequent blast. A small breeze is enough to
    make a sky-scraper sway as much as from forty to eighty centimetres. The depth of the foundations of some sky-scrapers in New York is as much as seventy metres, and the driving of the cement foundation demands a
    pressure of six or eight thousand hundredweights. An air raid, such as
    those against London, would have a devastating effect on New York. It
    would be physically impossible to clear the débris, and it is not
    possible to build air-raid shelters.

    In America, the capitalist conception, based on the gold standard, leads
    to many absurdities.

    If this war continues for ten years, aircraft will all be flying at a
    height of forty thousand feet, and ocean-going traffic will all be
    submarine, and the world at large will be free to lead a pleasant
    existence. Fights will take place, but they will not be visible; Britain
    will lie in ruins; in Germany every man and every woman will belong to
    an anti-aircraft crew. With an annual production of six thousand anti-aircraft guns, every little village in Germany will soon have its
    own battery and its own searchlight section, and the whole Reich will be
    one single, integrated defence unit. Blinded by the reflection of
    mirrors, the enemy pilots will be able to see nothing; if a mirror is
    placed at each corner of a five-hundred-metre square, the desired effect
    will be obtained. I wonder what people would have thought if I had
    spoken of figures of this kind before the war!

    The Navy has the most efficient anti-aircraft defences. I have seen
    them, and the shooting was magnificent. Thirteen hits for every hundred shots! This is attributable principally to the fact that the Navy is
    taught to shoot accurately from continuously moving platforms. As a
    result, their total of 'planes shot down is colossal. The best A.A. gun
    is the 8'8. The 10*5 has the disadvantage that it consumes too much ammunition, and the life of the barrel is very short. Reichsmarschall
    Goring is most anxious to continue producing the 12*8. This double-
    barrelled i2'8 has a fantastic appearance. When one examines the 8'8
    with the eye of a technician, one realises that it is the most beautiful weapon yet fashioned, with the exception of the
    12-8.

    With a new type of weapon, much often depends on the hands into which it
    is first delivered. If it comes first into clumsy, incapable hands, we
    are very liable to write it off. We had that experience, nearly, with
    the '34 machine gun. One must never condemn a weapon because one has not
    got the hang of how to use it. The '34 machine gun fired consistently,
    even in the greatest cold, as soon as we found the right lubricating oil
    for it.
    The grenade-throwers issued to the Engineers, which were completely noiseless, were rejected time after time for one reason after another;
    and I must say that, every time I poked my nose into a report on the
    subject, the reasons given for rejection seemed to me to be, to say the
    least of it, very thin.

    If one restricts instruction to the essentials, one can teach a soldier
    all he requires to know for all practical purposes in three months. The
    rest he will learn gradually, with experience. Under war conditions, a soldier learns more in three months than he learns in a year in
    peace-time. Instruction acquired in the face of the enemy cannot be bettered." [pages 669-670]

    THE RELIGIOUS PROBLEM—CONDEMNATION OF THE ORGANISED FALSEHOOD—THE SS
    AND RELIGION—ST. PAUL AND PRE-BOLSHEVISM—PARADISE: ACCORDING TO
    CHRISTIANS AND ACCORDING TO MAHOMMEDANS—NEGRO TABUS AND THE EUCHARIST
    —THE JAPANESE AND RELIGION—MUSSOLINI MAKES A MISTAKE.

    The war will be over one day. I shall then consider that my life's
    final task will be to solve the religious problem. Only then will the
    life of the German native be guaranteed once and for all.

    I don't interfere in matters of belief. Therefore I can't allow
    churchmen to interfere with temporal affairs. The organised lie must
    be smashed. The State must remain the absolute master.

    When I was younger, I thought it was necessary to set about matters
    with dynamite. I've since realised that there's room for a little
    subtlety. The rotten branch falls of itself. The final state must be:
    in St. Peter's Chair, a senile officiant; facing him, a few sinister
    old women, as gaga and as poor in spirit as anyone could wish. The
    young and healthy are on our side. Against a Church that identifies
    itself with the State, as in England, I have nothing to say. But, even
    so, it's impossible eternally to hold humanity in bondage with lies.
    After all, it was only between the sixth and eighth centuries that
    Christianity was imposed on our peoples by princes who had an alliance
    of interests with the shavelings. Our peoples had previously succeeded
    in living all right without this religion. I have six divisions of SS
    composed of men absolutely indifferent in matters of religion. It
    doesn't prevent them from going to their deaths with serenity in their
    souls.

    Christ was an Aryan, and St. Paul used his doctrine to mobilise the
    criminal underworld and thus organise a proto-Bolshevism. This
    intrusion upon the world marks the end of a long reign, that of the
    clear Graeco-Latin genius.

    What is this God who takes pleasure only in seeing men grovel before
    Him? Try to picture to yourselves the meaning of the following, quite
    simple story. God creates the conditions for sin. Later on He
    succeeds, with the help of the Devil, in causing man to sin. Then He
    employs a virgin to bring into the world a son who, by His death, will
    redeem humanity!

    I can imagine people being enthusiastic about the paradise of Mahomet,
    but as for the insipid paradise of the Christians! In your lifetime,
    you used to hear the music of Richard Wagner. After your death, it
    will be nothing but hallelujahs, the waving of palms, children of an
    age for the feeding-bottle, and hoary old men. The man of the isles
    pays homage to the forces of nature. But Christianity is an invention
    of sick brains : one could imagine nothing more senseless, nor any
    more indecent way of turning the idea of the Godhead into a mockery. A
    negro with his tabus is crushingly superior to the human being who
    seriously believes in Transubstantiation.

    I begin to lose all respect for humanity when I think that some people
    on our side, Ministers or generals, are capable of believing that we
    cannot triumph without the blessing of the Church. Such a notion is
    excusable in little children who have learnt nothing else.

    For thirty years the Germans tore each other to pieces simply in order
    to know whether or not they should take Communion in both kinds.
    There's nothing lower than religious notions like that. From that
    point of view, one can envy the Japanese. They have a religion which
    is very simple and brings them into contact with nature. They've
    succeeded even in taking Christianity and turning it into a religion
    that's less shocking to the intellect.

    By what would you have me replace the Christians' picture of the
    Beyond? What comes naturally to mankind is the sense of eternity and
    that sense is at the bottom of every man. The soul and the mind
    migrate, just as the body returns to nature. Thus life is eternally
    reborn from life. As for the "why?" of all that, I feel no need to
    rack my brains on the subject. The soul is unplumbable.

    If there is a God, at the same time as He gives man life He gives him
    intelligence. By regulating my life according to the understanding
    that is granted me, I may be mistaken, but I act in good faith. The
    concrete image of the Beyond that religion forces on me does not stand
    up to examination. Think of those who look down from on high upon what
    happens on earth: what a martyrdom for them, to see human beings
    indefatigably repeating the same gestures, and inevitably the same
    errors!

    In my view, H. S. Chamberlain was mistaken in regarding Christianity
    as a reality upon the spiritual level.

    Man judges everything in relation to himself. What is bigger than
    himself is big, what is smaller is small. Only one thing is certain,
    that one is part of the spectacle. Everyone finds his own role. Joy
    exists for everybody. I dream of a state of affairs in which every man
    would know that he lives and dies for the preservation of the species.
    It's our duty to encourage that idea: let the man who distinguishes
    himself in the service of the species be thought worthy of the highest
    honours.

    What a happy inspiration, to have kept the clergy out of the Party! On
    the 2ist March 1933, at Potsdam, the question was raised: with the
    Church, or without the Church? I conquered the State despite the
    malediction pronounced on us by both creeds. On that day, we went
    directly to the tomb of the kings whilst the others were visiting
    religious services. Supposing that at that period I'd made a pact with
    the Churches, I'd to-day be sharing the lot of the Duce. By nature the
    Duce is a free- thinker, but he decided to choose the path of
    concessions. For my part, in his place I'd have taken the path of
    revolution. I'd have entered the Vatican and thrown everybody out—
    reserving the right to apologise later: "Excuse me, it was a mistake."
    But the result would have been, they'd have been outside!

    When all is said, we have no reason to wish that the Italians and
    Spaniards should free themselves from the drug of Christianity. Let's
    be the only people who are immunised against the disease." [pages

    REDUCTIO AD HITLERUM AS IDEA #126 - 26 JANUARY 1942: "WOMEN IN
    POLITICS—AMERICAN METHODS OF PRODUCTION— TOWARDS ANOTHER ECONOMIC CRASH. >>
    I detest women who dabble in politics. And if their dabbling extends
    to military matters, it becomes utterly unendurable.

    In no local section of the Party has a woman ever had the right to
    hold even the smallest post. It has therefore often been said that we
    were a party of misogynists, who regarded a woman only as a machine
    for making children, or else as a plaything. That's far from being the
    case. I attached a lot of importance to women in the field of the
    training of youth, and that of good works. In 1924 we had a sudden
    upsurge of women who were attracted by politics: Frau von Treuenfels
    and Matilde von Kemnitz. They wanted to join the Reichstag, in order
    to raise the moral level of that body, so they said. I told them that
    90 per cent of the matters dealt with by parliament were masculine
    affairs, on which they could not have opinions of any value. They
    rebelled against this point of view, but I shut their mouths by
    saying: "You will not claim that you know men as I know women." A man
    who shouts is not a handsome sight. But if it's a woman, it's terribly
    shocking. The more she uses her lungs, the more strident her voice
    becomes. There she is, ready to pull hair out, with all her claws
    showing. In short, gallantry forbids one to give women an opportunity
    of putting themselves in situations that do not suit them. Everything
    that entails combat is exclusively men's business. There are so many
    other fields in which one must rely upon women. Organising a house,
    for example. Few men have Frau Troost's talent in matters concerning
    interior decoration. There were four women whom I give star roles:

    The Americans are admirable at mass-production, when it's a question
    of producing a single model repeated without variation in a great
    number of copies. That's lucky for us, for their tanks are proving
    unusable. We could wish them to build another sixty thousand this
    year. I don't believe in miracles, and I'm convinced that when they
    come along with their twenty-eight-tonners and sixty-tonners, the
    smallest of our tanks will outclass them.

    They have some people there who scent an economic crisis far
    surpassing that of 1929. When one has no substitute product for
    materials like copper, for example, one is soon at the end of one's
    tether." [pages 251-252]

    REDUCTIO AD HITLERUM AS IDEA #153 - 20 FEBRUARY 1942: "THE SPIRIT IN
    PERIL—THE OBSERVATORY AT LINZ—THE FIGHT AGAINST FALSEHOOD,
    SUPERSTITION AND INTOLERANCE—SCIENCE IS NOT DOGMATIC—THE WORKS OF
    HÖRBIGER—PAVE THE WAY FOR MEN OF TALENT.

    The biretta!

    The mere sight of one of these abortions in cassocks makes me wild!

    Man has been given his brain to think with. But if he has the
    misfortune to make use of it, he finds a swarm of black bugs on his
    heels. The mind is doomed to the auto-da-fé.

    The observatory I'll have built at Linz, on the Pöstlingberg, I can
    see it in my mind. A façade of quite classical purity. I'll have the
    pagan temple razed to the ground, and the observatory will take its
    place. Thus, in future, thousands of excursionists will make a
    pilgrimage there every Sunday. They'll thus have access to the
    greatness of our universe. The pediment will bear this motto: "The
    heavens proclaim the glory of the everlasting". It will be our way of
    giving men a religious spirit, of teaching them humility—but without
    the priests.

    Man seizes hold, here and there, of a few scraps of truth, but he
    couldn't rule nature. He must know that, on the contrary, he is
    dependent on Creation. And this attitude leads further than the
    superstitions maintained by the Church. Christianity is the worst of
    the regressions that mankind can ever have undergone, and it's the Jew
    who, thanks to this diabolic invention, has thrown him back fifteen
    centuries. The only thing that would be still worse would be victory
    for the Jew through Bolshevism. If Bolshevism triumphed, mankind would
    lose the gift of laughter and joy. It would become merely a shapeless
    mass, doomed to greyness and despair.

    The priests of antiquity were closer to nature, and they sought
    modestly for the meaning of things. Instead of that, Christianity
    promulgates its inconsistent dogmas and imposes them by force. Such a
    religion carries within it intolerance and persecution. It's the
    bloodiest conceivable. The building of my observatory will cost about
    twelve millions. The great planetarium by itself is worth two
    millions. Ptolemy's one is less expensive.

    For Ptolemy, the earth was the centre of the world. That changed with
    Copernicus. To-day we know that our solar system is merely a solar
    system amongst many others. What could we do better than allow the
    greatest possible number of people like us to become aware of these
    marvels?
    In any case, we can be grateful to Providence, which causes us to live
    to-day rather than three hundred years ago. At every street-corner, in
    those days, there was a blazing stake. What a debt we owe to the men
    who had the courage—the first to do so—to rebel against lies and
    intolerance. The admirable thing is that amongst them were Jesuit
    Fathers.

    In their fight against the Church, the Russians are purely negative.
    We, on the other hand, should practise the cult of the heroes who
    enabled humanity to pull itself out of the rut of error. Kepler lived
    at Linz, and that's why I chose Linz as the place for our observatory.
    His mother was accused of witch- craft and was tortured several times
    by the Inquisition.

    To open the eyes of simple people, there's no better method of
    instruction than the picture. Put a small telescope in a village, and
    you destroy a world of superstitions. One must destroy the priest's
    argument that science is changeable because faith does not change,
    since, when presented in this form, the statement is dishonest.

    Of course, poverty of spirit is a precious safeguard for the Church.
    The initiation of the people must be performed slowly. Instruction can
    simplify reality, but it has not the right deliberately to falsify it.
    What one teaches the lower level must not be invalidated by what is
    said a stage higher. In any case, science must not take on a dogmatic
    air, and it must always avoid running away when faced with
    difficulties. The contra- dictions are only apparent. When they exist,
    this is not the fault of science, but because men have not yet carried
    their enquiry
    far enough.

    It was a great step forward, in the days of Ptolemy, to say that the
    earth was a sphere and that the stars gravitated around it. Since then
    there has been continual progress along the same path. Copernicus
    first. Copernicus, in his turn, has been largely left behind, and
    things will always be so. In our time, Hörbiger has made another step
    forward.

    The universities make me think of the direction of the Wehrmacht's
    technical service. Our technicians pass by many discoveries, and when
    by chance they again meet one they dis- regarded a few years before,
    they take good care not to remind
    anyone of their mistake.

    At present, science claims that the moon is a projection into space of
    a fragment of the earth, and that the earth is an emanation of the
    sun. The real question is whether the earth came from the sun or
    whether it has a tendency to approach it. For me there is no doubt
    that the satellite planets are attracted by the planets, just as the
    latter are themselves attracted by a fixed point, the sun. Since there
    is no such thing as a vacuum, it is possible that the planets' speed
    of rotation and movement may grow slower. Thus it is not impossible,
    for example, that Mars may one day be a satellite of the Earth.

    Hörbiger considers a point of detail in all this. He declares that the
    element which we call water is in reality merely melted ice (instead
    of ice's being frozen water) : what is found in the universe is ice,
    and not water. This theory amounted to a revolution, and everybody
    rebelled against Hörbiger.

    Science has a lot of difficulty in imposing its views, because it is
    constantly grappling with the spirit of routine. The fact is, men do
    not wish to know. In the last few years, the situation of science has
    improved.

    It's a piece of luck when men are found at the head of a State who are
    inclined to favour bold researches—for these latter are rarely
    supported and encouraged by official science.

    There's no greater privilege, in my view, than to play the part of a
    patron of the arts or the sciences. Men would certainly have regarded
    it as a vast honour to be allowed to encourage the career of a man
    like Richard Wagner. Well, it's already a great deal gained that
    people like him are no longer burned alive! One sometimes hears it
    regretted that our period does not provide geniuses of the same
    stature as those of bygone times. That's a mistake. These geniuses
    exist; it would be enough to encourage them. For my part, when I know
    that a scientist wishes to devote himself to new researches, I help
    him. I shall not cease to think that the most precious possession a
    country can have is its great men. If I think of Bismarck, I realise
    that only those who have lived through 1918 could fully appreciate his
    worth. One sees by such examples how much it would mean if we could
    make the road smooth for men of talent.

    It's only in the realm of music that I can find no satisfaction. The
    same thing is happening to music as is happening to beauty in a world
    dominated by the shavelings—the Christian religion is an enemy to
    beauty. The Jew has brought off the same trick upon music. He has
    created a new inversion of values and replaced the loveliness of music
    by noises. Surely the Athenian, when he entered the Parthenon to
    contemplate the image of Zeus, must have had another impression than
    the Christian who must resign himself to contemplating the grimacing
    face of a man crucified.
    Since my fourteenth year I have felt liberated from the superstition
    that the priests used to teach. Apart from a few Holy Joes, I can say
    that none of my comrades went on *BELIEVING* *IN* *THE* *MIRACLE* *OF*
    *THE* *EUCHARIST*.

    The only difference between then and now is that in those days I was
    convinced one must blow up the whole show with dynamite." [Page 322-325]

    REDUCTIO AD HITLERUM AS IDEA #227 - 29? MAY 1942: "LOLA MONTEZ AND
    LUDWIG I OF BAVARIA—HOSTILITY OF THE CHURCH—PERSONALITY OF LUDWIG
    I—RESPECT FOR RACIAL CHARACTERISTICS.

    On a proposal by Dr. Göbbels to produce a film of LOLA MONTEZ. I
    welcome the idea, but you must take care that neither the fate of this
    woman nor the personality of King Ludwig I of Bavaria is in any way
    distorted.

    Lola Montez had nothing in common with the dancers of our times,
    strip-tease artists, but was a woman of exceptional intelligence with
    wide experience of the world. She was, too, a woman of character, as
    is shown by the way she resisted the Catholic Church and, in spite of
    enormous pressure, refused to kow-tow to it.

    As regards the personality of Ludwig I, you must be careful, too, not
    to portray him as first and foremost a "skirt-chaser" (Schürzenjäger).
    He was in every sense a great man, and was the finest architect of his
    time in Europe. The idea and execution of the Valhalla Building alone
    show him to have been a monarch whose vision stretched far beyond the
    confines of his own petty State and embraced the whole pan-German
    panorama. Apart from that, we have to thank him for having given, in
    the city of Munich, a magnificent art centre to the German
    nation.

    That he is nevertheless one of the most controversial figures among
    the Kings of Bavaria is attributable to the fact that the Church never
    ceased to harry him. The attacks of the latter on Lola Montez were
    only a pretext, and it was in reality the strong liberal tendencies of
    the King at which the attacks were aimed.

    You must not, therefore, represent Ludwig I as a King of the Viennese
    charm school, something after the style of Paul Hörbiger, but rather
    as a worthy monarch, and I think Kayssler is the best man for the role.

    While respecting their racial characteristics, I have, in the
    interests of the Reich, divided my Austrian homeland into a series of
    Alpine and Danubian provinces. I have decided to act in the same way
    as regards other portions of the Reich. I shall not, for example,
    permit that West Friesland continue to form part of Holland, for these
    West Frieslanders are of exactly the same race as the people of East
    Friesland and must, therefore, be united with them within a single
    Province.” [pages 505-506]

    REDUCTIO AD HITLERUM AS IDEA #277 - 4 AUGUST 1942: "MEMORIES OF THE
    FIRST WAR—THE LACE WORKERS OF BELGIUM— YPRES AND LÜBECK.

    When we went into the line in 1916, to the south of Bapaume, the heat
    was intolerable. As we marched through the streets, there was not a
    house, not a tree to be seen; everything had been destroyed, and even
    the grass had been burnt. It was a veritable wilderness.

    In the present campaign I got my greatest surprise when I revisited
    Arras. In the old days it was just a mound of earth. And now— —!
    Fields filled with blossom and waving corn, while on Vimy Ridge the
    scars are much as they were, shell- holes and all. I believe it is
    much the same in the Champagne.

    The soldier has a boundless affection for the ground on which he has
    shed his blood. If we could arrange the transport, we should have a
    million people pouring into France to revisit the scenes of their
    former struggle.

    Marching along the roads was a misery for us poor old infantrymen;
    again and again we were driven off the road by the bloody gunners, and
    again and again we had to dive into the swamps to save our skins! All
    the thanks we got was a torrent of curses—"Bloody So-and-Sos" was the
    mildest expression hurled at us.

    My first impression of Ypres was—towers, so near that I could all but
    touch them. But the little infantryman in his hole in the ground has a
    very small field of vision.

    I shall send our people who have been given the task of rebuilding
    Lübeck to Ypres before they start work. Fifty different shades of
    tiles, from salmon-pink, through gold to deep violet! The new Ypres is
    a city out of fairyland!

    EXPANSIVE TABLE TALK REDUCTIO AD HITLERUM - PART 2

    REDUCTIO AD HITLERUM AS IDEA #75 - 13 DECEMBER 1941: "TIME TO SOLVE
    THE RELIGIOUS PROBLEM—CONDEMNATION OF THE ORGANISED FALSEHOOD—THE SS
    AND RELIGION—ST. PAUL AND PRE-BOLSHEVISM—PARADISE: ACCORDING TO
    CHRISTIANS AND ACCORDING TO MAHOMMEDANS—NEGRO TABUS AND THE EUCHARIST
    —THE JAPANESE AND RELIGION—MUSSOLINI MAKES A MISTAKE.

    The war will be over one day. I shall then consider that my life's
    final task will be to solve the religious problem. Only then will the
    life of the German native be guaranteed once and for all.

    I don't interfere in matters of belief. Therefore I can't allow
    churchmen to interfere with temporal affairs. The organised lie must
    be smashed. The State must remain the absolute master.

    When I was younger, I thought it was necessary to set about matters
    with dynamite. I've since realised that there's room for a little
    subtlety. The rotten branch falls of itself. The final state must be:
    in St. Peter's Chair, a senile officiant; facing him, a few sinister
    old women, as gaga and as poor in spirit as anyone could wish. The
    young and healthy are on our side. Against a Church that identifies
    itself with the State, as in England, I have nothing to say. But, even
    so, it's impossible eternally to hold humanity in bondage with lies.
    After all, it was only between the sixth and eighth centuries that
    Christianity was imposed on our peoples by princes who had an alliance
    of interests with the shavelings. Our peoples had previously succeeded
    in living all right without this religion. I have six divisions of SS
    composed of men absolutely indifferent in matters of religion. It
    doesn't prevent them from going to their deaths with serenity in their
    souls.

    Christ was an Aryan, and St. Paul used his doctrine to mobilise the
    criminal underworld and thus organise a proto-Bolshevism. This
    intrusion upon the world marks the end of a long reign, that of the
    clear Graeco-Latin genius.

    What is this God who takes pleasure only in seeing men grovel before
    Him? Try to picture to yourselves the meaning of the following, quite
    simple story. God creates the conditions for sin. Later on He
    succeeds, with the help of the Devil, in causing man to sin. Then He
    employs a virgin to bring into the world a son who, by His death, will
    redeem humanity!

    I can imagine people being enthusiastic about the paradise of Mahomet,
    but as for the insipid paradise of the Christians! In your lifetime,
    you used to hear the music of Richard Wagner. After your death, it
    will be nothing but hallelujahs, the waving of palms, children of an
    age for the feeding-bottle, and hoary old men. The man of the isles
    pays homage to the forces of nature. But Christianity is an invention
    of sick brains : one could imagine nothing more senseless, nor any
    more indecent way of turning the idea of the Godhead into a mockery. A
    negro with his tabus is crushingly superior to the human being who
    seriously believes in Transubstantiation.

    I begin to lose all respect for humanity when I think that some people
    on our side, Ministers or generals, are capable of believing that we
    cannot triumph without the blessing of the Church. Such a notion is
    excusable in little children who have learnt nothing else.

    For thirty years the Germans tore each other to pieces simply in order
    to know whether or not they should take Communion in both kinds.
    There's nothing lower than religious notions like that. From that
    point of view, one can envy the Japanese. They have a religion which
    is very simple and brings them into contact with nature. They've
    succeeded even in taking Christianity and turning it into a religion
    that's less shocking to the intellect.

    By what would you have me replace the Christians' picture of the
    Beyond? What comes naturally to mankind is the sense of eternity and
    that sense is at the bottom of every man. The soul and the mind
    migrate, just as the body returns to nature. Thus life is eternally
    reborn from life. As for the "why?" of all that, I feel no need to
    rack my brains on the subject. The soul is unplumbable.

    If there is a God, at the same time as He gives man life He gives him
    intelligence. By regulating my life according to the understanding
    that is granted me, I may be mistaken, but I act in good faith. The
    concrete image of the Beyond that religion forces on me does not stand
    up to examination. Think of those who look down from on high upon what
    happens on earth: what a martyrdom for them, to see human beings
    indefatigably repeating the same gestures, and inevitably the same
    errors!

    In my view, H. S. Chamberlain was mistaken in regarding Christianity
    as a reality upon the spiritual level.

    Man judges everything in relation to himself. What is bigger than
    himself is big, what is smaller is small. Only one thing is certain,
    that one is part of the spectacle. Everyone finds his own role. Joy
    exists for everybody. I dream of a state of affairs in which every man
    would know that he lives and dies for the preservation of the species.
    It's our duty to encourage that idea: let the man who distinguishes
    himself in the service of the species be thought worthy of the highest
    honours.

    What a happy inspiration, to have kept the clergy out of the Party! On
    the 2ist March 1933, at Potsdam, the question was raised: with the
    Church, or without the Church? I conquered the State despite the
    malediction pronounced on us by both creeds. On that day, we went
    directly to the tomb of the kings whilst the others were visiting
    religious services. Supposing that at that period I'd made a pact with
    the Churches, I'd to-day be sharing the lot of the Duce. By nature the
    Duce is a free- thinker, but he decided to choose the path of
    concessions. For my part, in his place I'd have taken the path of
    revolution. I'd have entered the Vatican and thrown everybody out—
    reserving the right to apologise later: "Excuse me, it was a mistake."
    But the result would have been, they'd have been outside!

    When all is said, we have no reason to wish that the Italians and
    Spaniards should free themselves from the drug of Christianity. Let's
    be the only people who are immunised against the disease." [pages
    143-145]

    REDUCTIO AD HITLERUM AS IDEA #126 - 26 JANUARY 1942: "WOMEN IN
    POLITICS—AMERICAN METHODS OF PRODUCTION— TOWARDS ANOTHER ECONOMIC CRASH. >>
    I detest women who dabble in politics. And if their dabbling extends
    to military matters, it becomes utterly unendurable.

    In no local section of the Party has a woman ever had the right to
    hold even the smallest post. It has therefore often been said that we
    were a party of misogynists, who regarded a woman only as a machine
    for making children, or else as a plaything. That's far from being the
    case. I attached a lot of importance to women in the field of the
    training of youth, and that of good works. In 1924 we had a sudden
    upsurge of women who were attracted by politics: Frau von Treuenfels
    and Matilde von Kemnitz. They wanted to join the Reichstag, in order
    to raise the moral level of that body, so they said. I told them that
    90 per cent of the matters dealt with by parliament were masculine
    affairs, on which they could not have opinions of any value. They
    rebelled against this point of view, but I shut their mouths by
    saying: "You will not claim that you know men as I know women." A man
    who shouts is not a handsome sight. But if it's a woman, it's terribly
    shocking. The more she uses her lungs, the more strident her voice
    becomes. There she is, ready to pull hair out, with all her claws
    showing. In short, gallantry forbids one to give women an opportunity
    of putting themselves in situations that do not suit them. Everything
    that entails combat is exclusively men's business. There are so many
    other fields in which one must rely upon women. Organising a house,
    for example. Few men have Frau Troost's talent in matters concerning
    interior decoration. There were four women whom I give star roles:
    Frau Troost, Frau Wagner, Frau Scholtz-Klink and Leni Riefenstahl.

    The Americans are admirable at mass-production, when it's a question
    of producing a single model repeated without variation in a great
    number of copies. That's lucky for us, for their tanks are proving
    unusable. We could wish them to build another sixty thousand this
    year. I don't believe in miracles, and I'm convinced that when they
    come along with their twenty-eight-tonners and sixty-tonners, the
    smallest of our tanks will outclass them.

    They have some people there who scent an economic crisis far
    surpassing that of 1929. When one has no substitute product for
    materials like copper, for example, one is soon at the end of one's
    tether." [pages 251-252]

    REDUCTIO AD HITLERUM AS IDEA #153 - 20 FEBRUARY 1942: "THE SPIRIT IN
    PERIL—THE OBSERVATORY AT LINZ—THE FIGHT AGAINST FALSEHOOD,
    SUPERSTITION AND INTOLERANCE—SCIENCE IS NOT DOGMATIC—THE WORKS OF
    HÖRBIGER—PAVE THE WAY FOR MEN OF TALENT.

    The biretta!

    The mere sight of one of these abortions in cassocks makes me wild!

    Man has been given his brain to think with. But if he has the
    misfortune to make use of it, he finds a swarm of black bugs on his
    heels. The mind is doomed to the auto-da-fé.

    The observatory I'll have built at Linz, on the Pöstlingberg, I can
    see it in my mind. A façade of quite classical purity. I'll have the
    pagan temple razed to the ground, and the observatory will take its
    place. Thus, in future, thousands of excursionists will make a
    pilgrimage there every Sunday. They'll thus have access to the
    greatness of our universe. The pediment will bear this motto: "The
    heavens proclaim the glory of the everlasting". It will be our way of
    giving men a religious spirit, of teaching them humility—but without
    the priests.

    Man seizes hold, here and there, of a few scraps of truth, but he
    couldn't rule nature. He must know that, on the contrary, he is
    dependent on Creation. And this attitude leads further than the
    superstitions maintained by the Church. Christianity is the worst of
    the regressions that mankind can ever have undergone, and it's the Jew
    who, thanks to this diabolic invention, has thrown him back fifteen
    centuries. The only thing that would be still worse would be victory
    for the Jew through Bolshevism. If Bolshevism triumphed, mankind would
    lose the gift of laughter and joy. It would become merely a shapeless
    mass, doomed to greyness and despair.

    The priests of antiquity were closer to nature, and they sought
    modestly for the meaning of things. Instead of that, Christianity
    promulgates its inconsistent dogmas and imposes them by force. Such a
    religion carries within it intolerance and persecution. It's the
    bloodiest conceivable. The building of my observatory will cost about
    twelve millions. The great planetarium by itself is worth two
    millions. Ptolemy's one is less expensive.

    For Ptolemy, the earth was the centre of the world. That changed with
    Copernicus. To-day we know that our solar system is merely a solar
    system amongst many others. What could we do better than allow the
    greatest possible number of people like us to become aware of these
    marvels?
    In any case, we can be grateful to Providence, which causes us to live
    to-day rather than three hundred years ago. At every street-corner, in
    those days, there was a blazing stake. What a debt we owe to the men
    who had the courage—the first to do so—to rebel against lies and
    intolerance. The admirable thing is that amongst them were Jesuit
    Fathers.

    In their fight against the Church, the Russians are purely negative.
    We, on the other hand, should practise the cult of the heroes who
    enabled humanity to pull itself out of the rut of error. Kepler lived
    at Linz, and that's why I chose Linz as the place for our observatory.
    His mother was accused of witch- craft and was tortured several times
    by the Inquisition.

    To open the eyes of simple people, there's no better method of
    instruction than the picture. Put a small telescope in a village, and
    you destroy a world of superstitions. One must destroy the priest's
    argument that science is changeable because faith does not change,
    since, when presented in this form, the statement is dishonest.

    Of course, poverty of spirit is a precious safeguard for the Church.
    The initiation of the people must be performed slowly. Instruction can
    simplify reality, but it has not the right deliberately to falsify it.
    What one teaches the lower level must not be invalidated by what is
    said a stage higher. In any case, science must not take on a dogmatic
    air, and it must always avoid running away when faced with
    difficulties. The contra- dictions are only apparent. When they exist,
    this is not the fault of science, but because men have not yet carried
    their enquiry
    far enough.

    It was a great step forward, in the days of Ptolemy, to say that the
    earth was a sphere and that the stars gravitated around it. Since then
    there has been continual progress along the same path. Copernicus
    first. Copernicus, in his turn, has been largely left behind, and
    things will always be so. In our time, Hörbiger has made another step
    forward.

    The universities make me think of the direction of the Wehrmacht's
    technical service. Our technicians pass by many discoveries, and when
    by chance they again meet one they dis- regarded a few years before,
    they take good care not to remind
    anyone of their mistake.

    At present, science claims that the moon is a projection into space of
    a fragment of the earth, and that the earth is an emanation of the
    sun. The real question is whether the earth came from the sun or
    whether it has a tendency to approach it. For me there is no doubt
    that the satellite planets are attracted by the planets, just as the
    latter are themselves attracted by a fixed point, the sun. Since there
    is no such thing as a vacuum, it is possible that the planets' speed
    of rotation and movement may grow slower. Thus it is not impossible,
    for example, that Mars may one day be a satellite of the Earth.

    Hörbiger considers a point of detail in all this. He declares that the
    element which we call water is in reality merely melted ice (instead
    of ice's being frozen water) : what is found in the universe is ice,
    and not water. This theory amounted to a revolution, and everybody
    rebelled against Hörbiger.

    Science has a lot of difficulty in imposing its views, because it is
    constantly grappling with the spirit of routine. The fact is, men do
    not wish to know. In the last few years, the situation of science has
    improved.

    It's a piece of luck when men are found at the head of a State who are
    inclined to favour bold researches—for these latter are rarely
    supported and encouraged by official science.

    There's no greater privilege, in my view, than to play the part of a
    patron of the arts or the sciences. Men would certainly have regarded
    it as a vast honour to be allowed to encourage the career of a man
    like Richard Wagner. Well, it's already a great deal gained that
    people like him are no longer burned alive! One sometimes hears it
    regretted that our period does not provide geniuses of the same
    stature as those of bygone times. That's a mistake. These geniuses
    exist; it would be enough to encourage them. For my part, when I know
    that a scientist wishes to devote himself to new researches, I help
    him. I shall not cease to think that the most precious possession a
    country can have is its great men. If I think of Bismarck, I realise
    that only those who have lived through 1918 could fully appreciate his
    worth. One sees by such examples how much it would mean if we could
    make the road smooth for men of talent.

    It's only in the realm of music that I can find no satisfaction. The
    same thing is happening to music as is happening to beauty in a world
    dominated by the shavelings—the Christian religion is an enemy to
    beauty. The Jew has brought off the same trick upon music. He has
    created a new inversion of values and replaced the loveliness of music
    by noises. Surely the Athenian, when he entered the Parthenon to
    contemplate the image of Zeus, must have had another impression than
    the Christian who must resign himself to contemplating the grimacing
    face of a man crucified.
    Since my fourteenth year I have felt liberated from the superstition
    that the priests used to teach. Apart from a few Holy Joes, I can say

    REDUCTIO AD HITLERUM AS IDEA #237 - 8 JUNE 1942: "It is an excellent
    thing that Axmann has been at the front as a soldier. The loss of an
    *ARM* in battle will undoubtedly enhance his prestige with the
    *YOUTHS*, not only of Germany, but also of the other countries. I am
    very pleased, too, to welcome Axmann's efforts, and to see how he
    strives continuously to bind the youth of the German lands with ever
    closer bonds to National Socialism and to the German way of thought.
    For once *YOUTH* has been won over to an idea, an action like that of
    yeast sets in. Youth effervesces and goes on working and working for
    an idea, regardless of anything that the older generation can do to
    stop them...

    The school alone, however, as the instrument for the education of
    *YOUTH*, does not suffice, because it is too prone to give priority
    of interest to purely academic achievement.

    It is for this reason that I have formed the supplementary
    organisation of the Hitlerjugend and endowed it with the bold motto
    "Die Jugend von Jugend gefuehrt werden soll"—Youth must be led by Youth. >>>
    In this way I have set up, in their very early years, a process of
    selectivity amongst young people, whereby the little group leaders
    soon select themselves. To the judgment of the schoolmaster, who
    normally confines himself to exact scholastic attainments, is thus
    added by the Hitler Youth the judgment of the youth leaders, which
    lays primary value on character—that is, on sense of comradeship,
    endurance, courage and qualities of leadership.

    The effective value of the school and the Hitler Youth as instruments
    of education depends on the quality of the instructors. In the choice
    of leaders for the Hitler Youth and of teachers for the Department of
    Education, our first principle must be to ensure that these
    instructors of both kinds are chosen from men who will remain as an
    example to youth for the rest of their lives, exactly as the
    instructors in the gymnasia of Ancient Greece set the example of
    bodily and spiritual perfection to the youth submitted to their charge… >>>

    press and propaganda in one single organisation that a unified
    direction of the press can be assured. And a unified press is a
    prerequisite, if the press is to enjoy the confidence of the people
    and thus also to become effective as an instrument of popular
    education. For only a unified press is free from those contradictions
    of news items, of political, cultural and such-like communications,
    which make it laughable in the eyes of the public, rob it of any
    prestige as a purveyor of truth and of any value as an instrument for
    the education of public opinion.

    How little this was understood in the circle of the so-called
    national press was brought home to me in 1920 in the course of an
    altercation with the Reverend Traub, the editor of Eiserne Blätter.
    When I told the reverend gentleman as bluntly as I could that a free
    press must give way to a unified and controlled press, because the
    former was nothing more nor less than a free forum for the
    dissemination of Jewish impertinences, he crumpled entirely.” [pages

    REDUCTIO AD HITLERUM AS IDEA #263 - 19 JULY 1942: "When a battleship
    is sunk, the loss of life may be as high as two thousand souls. But
    if we could construct a mass of tiny craft, each fitted with a
    torpedo tube and manned by a single man, the losses we should suffer
    would be fractional in comparison, and the successes, from the combat
    point of view, might well be considerably greater.

    Many years ago, I once asked Graf Luckner why he always used
    comparatively small craft for his world sailing tours? Luckner gave
    me the significant answer that, when anything goes wrong on a big
    *SHIP*, people save themselves by getting into little boats—one might
    therefore just as well start off at once in the latter and have done
    with it!

    Luckner, of course, was a marvellous spinner of yarns, and I could
    listen to him for hours on end. One day some one or other explained
    to me that certain of Luckner's statements were nonsense—and I was as
    angry with my informant as a child who has been deprived of his
    Christmas tree!

    The Fuehrer then asked Admiral Kraneke if he could explain the origin
    of the terms "a seaman's yarn" and "spinning a yarn"? The Admiral
    replied that in the old days on long voyages the sailors, bored with
    the same food and the *ETERNAL* sea and having but few books to read,
    passed their spare hours *TELLING* each other stories, which grew
    taller and taller, and at the same time fashioning yarn-nets for
    fishing and so on— hence the expressions.

    THE FUEHRER CONTINUED: I once had an ex-sailor as a servant. At all
    hours of the day and night the fellow used to try to spin me yarns
    which any fool could see were nonsense. In the end I had to tell him
    that I was quite as good a liar as he was, and that he must not tempt
    me to try to go one better! As even that did not stop him, we were
    forced to part company.

    A thing which always strikes me about sailors' tales is the great
    part that superstition plays in them. Sailors, apparently, are like
    actors in this respect. In the lives of both there occur unexpected
    events which they cannot possibly foresee and with which they cannot
    cope. The *SAILOR* *NEVER* *KNOWS* *WHEN* *A* *STORM* *OR* *EVEN* *A*
    *HURRICANE* will descend on him, and the actor cannot tell whether
    the audience will receive him with applause or with derisory
    whistling; and so they are both extremely superstitious.

    Superstition, I think, is a factor one must take into consideration
    when assessing human conduct, even though one may rise superior to it
    oneself and laugh at it. It was for this reason, to give you a
    concrete example, that I once advised the Duce not to initiate a
    certain action on the thirteenth of the month. For the same reason I
    think it is a bad thing to let a *SHIP* sail on a Friday, because all
    old salts know that a Friday sailing is unlucky. Such things are the
    imponderables of life, which one cannot afford to neglect, for those
    who believe in them are quite capable, at a moment of crisis, of
    causing the greatest consternation.” [pages 581 to 583]

    We must straightway declare that from now on pilots descending by

    torpedoed *SHIPS*, regardless of whether they are soldiers or
    civilians, women or children! Within a month those cads over there
    will have realised that they hold the muddy end of the stick, and
    will act accordingly. I make no secret of the fact that in my eyes
    the life of a single German is worth more than the lives of twenty
    Britishers, and in this respect we hold the advantage. We hold
    infinitely more prisoners-of-war than they do, and the great thing is
    to capture as many "honourables" as possible. The handcuffing of a
    hundred and thirty officers after the Dieppe raid had a splendid
    effect. They are completely indifferent to the fate of the ordinary
    soldier, but the hanging of half a dozen British Generals would shake
    British society to its very foundations…

    If they were to threaten more drastic reprisals, we will retort by
    hanging the captains of all *SHIPS* sunk! The Merchant Navy would
    then begin to act very differently. The Japanese do this, while we
    entertain them with coffee and cognac. The British are realists,

    it's a woman, it's terribly shocking. The more she uses her lungs,
    the more strident her voice becomes. There she is, ready to pull hair

    give women an opportunity of putting themselves in situations that do
    not suit them. Everything that entails combat is exclusively men's

    REDUCTIO AD HITLERUM AS IDEA #303 - 28 AUGUST 1942: "The *DEPTH* of
    the foundations of some SKY-SCRAPERS IN NEW YORK is as much as
    seventy metres, and the driving of the cement foundation demands a
    pressure of six or eight thousand hundredweights. AN AIR RAID, SUCH
    AS THOSE AGAINST LONDON, WOULD HAVE A DEVASTATING EFFECT ON NEW YORK.
    It would be physically impossible to clear the débris, and it is not
    possible to build air-raid shelters.” [page 669]

    EXPANSIVE TABLE TALK REDUCTIO AD HITLERUM - PART 2

    REDUCTIO AD HITLERUM AS IDEA #75 - 13 DECEMBER 1941: "TIME TO SOLVE
    THE RELIGIOUS PROBLEM—CONDEMNATION OF THE ORGANISED FALSEHOOD—THE SS >>> AND RELIGION—ST. PAUL AND PRE-BOLSHEVISM—PARADISE: ACCORDING TO
    CHRISTIANS AND ACCORDING TO MAHOMMEDANS—NEGRO TABUS AND THE EUCHARIST
    —THE JAPANESE AND RELIGION—MUSSOLINI MAKES A MISTAKE.

    The war will be over one day. I shall then consider that my life's
    final task will be to solve the religious problem. Only then will the
    life of the German native be guaranteed once and for all.

    I don't interfere in matters of belief. Therefore I can't allow
    churchmen to interfere with temporal affairs. The organised lie must
    be smashed. The State must remain the absolute master.

    When I was younger, I thought it was necessary to set about matters
    with dynamite. I've since realised that there's room for a little
    subtlety. The rotten branch falls of itself. The final state must be:
    in St. Peter's Chair, a senile officiant; facing him, a few sinister
    old women, as gaga and as poor in spirit as anyone could wish. The
    young and healthy are on our side. Against a Church that identifies
    itself with the State, as in England, I have nothing to say. But,
    even so, it's impossible eternally to hold humanity in bondage with
    lies. After all, it was only between the sixth and eighth centuries
    that Christianity was imposed on our peoples by princes who had an
    alliance of interests with the shavelings. Our peoples had previously
    succeeded in living all right without this religion. I have six
    divisions of SS composed of men absolutely indifferent in matters of
    religion. It doesn't prevent them from going to their deaths with
    serenity in their souls.

    Christ was an Aryan, and St. Paul used his doctrine to mobilise the
    criminal underworld and thus organise a proto-Bolshevism. This
    intrusion upon the world marks the end of a long reign, that of the
    clear Graeco-Latin genius.

    What is this God who takes pleasure only in seeing men grovel before
    Him? Try to picture to yourselves the meaning of the following, quite
    simple story. God creates the conditions for sin. Later on He
    succeeds, with the help of the Devil, in causing man to sin. Then He
    employs a virgin to bring into the world a son who, by His death,
    will redeem humanity!

    I can imagine people being enthusiastic about the paradise of
    Mahomet, but as for the insipid paradise of the Christians! In your
    lifetime, you used to hear the music of Richard Wagner. After your
    death, it will be nothing but hallelujahs, the waving of palms,
    children of an age for the feeding-bottle, and hoary old men. The man
    of the isles pays homage to the forces of nature. But Christianity is
    an invention of sick brains : one could imagine nothing more
    senseless, nor any more indecent way of turning the idea of the
    Godhead into a mockery. A negro with his tabus is crushingly superior
    to the human being who seriously believes in Transubstantiation.

    I begin to lose all respect for humanity when I think that some
    people on our side, Ministers or generals, are capable of believing
    that we cannot triumph without the blessing of the Church. Such a
    notion is excusable in little children who have learnt nothing else.

    For thirty years the Germans tore each other to pieces simply in
    order to know whether or not they should take Communion in both
    kinds. There's nothing lower than religious notions like that. From
    that point of view, one can envy the Japanese. They have a religion
    which is very simple and brings them into contact with nature.
    They've succeeded even in taking Christianity and turning it into a
    religion that's less shocking to the intellect.

    By what would you have me replace the Christians' picture of the
    Beyond? What comes naturally to mankind is the sense of eternity and
    that sense is at the bottom of every man. The soul and the mind
    migrate, just as the body returns to nature. Thus life is eternally
    reborn from life. As for the "why?" of all that, I feel no need to
    rack my brains on the subject. The soul is unplumbable.

    If there is a God, at the same time as He gives man life He gives him
