British writer Douglas Reed wrote in his
1943 book Lest We Regret,
how Hitler
worked for the Bolsheviks in the short
lived Bavarian Soviet Republic, and how
he
later arrested an anti-Bolshevik, German
war-hero who could have exposed him:
This is the most important of the three Jewish régimes, for us to-day, because Adolf Hitler was in Munich during its rule. He did not escape from Munich and join the assembling anti-Bolshevist forces, like other patriots. He stayed in Munich, and was a soldier under the orders of the Jewish Red Government! This period in his life has never been explained and is ignored in the literature about him. Even more significant, and still less known, is the fact that one of his first acts as Chancellor was to imprison Count Arco-Valley, who shot Kurt Eisner in 1919! (This desperate young German officer,several times wounded and decorated in the 1914 war, wrote before his deed: 'Eisner is an anarchist and a Bolshevist Jew. He is no German, does not feel German, and he undermines every German sentiment: he is a traitor to his country. The whole nation cries out for delivery. My reasons for my action are: I loathe Bolshevism; I love my Bavarian countrymen.' Arco-Valley was hit by four bullets, but recovered; sentenced to death but reprieved; his fortune was confiscated for the benefit of Eisner's two widows! The only plausible motive that suggests itself, for Hitler's arrest of him, is the desire to remove witnesses of Hitler's conduct in Munich in 1918.)

ReplyI'm a Douglas Reed fan and own most of his books. However, now I'm skeptical of this passage about Hitler's conduct in l918. Hitler's purported work for the Bolsheviks was discussed and dismissed as disinformation in two long and detailed audio conversations. At the Cristogenea. org Mein Kampf Project see William Finck's conversation with Carolyn Yeager here: http://mk.christogenea.org/mkaudio
Below that see Finck's debate with Jim Condit Jr. on Deanna Spingola's Republic Broadcast Network show. Or find it among the archived Spingola Speaks shows at You Tube. The RBN archives are closed to non-subscribers.

Thanks for the info.
ReplyCorrection: William Finck did not debate Jim Condit on Deanna Spingola's RBN program. That took place on Mike Delaney's Talkshoe program and can be found in Mike's, William's and Talkshoe archives.
ReplyHitler never worked for the Bolsheviks despite what Douglas Reed wrote. Reed was British and everyone makes mistakes sometimes.
I need to verify this myself, but apparently the historian Ian Kershaw also referred to this.
