The disgusting book "Mein Kampf" by Adolf Hitler ranks down with the film "Triumph of the Will" and with "The Communist Manifesto" by Karl Marx and the little "Red book" by Mao (each also available). Many people try to single out Hitler as unique, but it is unfortunate that he was matched or surpassed in monstrosity as a member of the socialist trio of atrocities (Hitler, Mao, Stalin) that led to the socialist Wholecaust (of which the Holocaust was a part): 62 million killed by the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, 35 million by the Peoples' Republic of China, 21 million by the National Socialist German Workers' Party. http://rexcurry.net/socialists.html

The National Socialist German Workers' Party and the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics started as allies in 1939 to invade Poland in a pact to divide up Europe.  Before, during and after the National Socialist German Workers’ Party, the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics killed even more people.  The Peoples’ Republic of China then followed.  Stalin, Mao and Hitler qualify as a true tragedy.  The slaughter was so large that Holocaust Museums would quadruple in size and scope as Wholecaust Museums. http://rexcurry.net/wholecaust-museum.html    Fight the Holocaust deniers and the Wholecaust deniers.

The book "Mein Kampf" and the film "Triumph of the Will" make for astounding comparisons.  In both the book and the film, socialism is extolled throughout by the very word "socialist."  The words "fascist" and "Nazi" are never used -not a single time- in reference to the National Socialist German Workers' Party.

The 1934 film, directed by Leni Riefenstahl, was propaganda for the sixth annual congress of the National Socialist German Workers' Party in Nuremburg.

The socialist cliches in both are so thick they are comic.  In the film it is impossible to forget (once it is heard) the phrase "Present Shovels!" barked to the industrial army of adoring "worker-soldiers" each carrying his G.I. shovel as though it was a gun.  The only thing missing at that point of hilarity is a choreographed dance routine with the ditch-diggers. (Who could resist mentioning here that Hitler had a family name of schickelgruber?).  The glorious comrades needed their "weapons" to shovel all the socialist manure piling up in "Triumph."   It is unfortunate that the shovel army was later used to bury the victims of the incredibly deadly dogma.  

The book and film contain references to God.  Hitler indicates that he is on a God-given mission.  In the film, he states that "the Party will be like a religious order."  Hitler was a preying person.

The similarities are terrifying when compared to dogma preached by Francis Bellamy and Edward Bellamy in the USA from 1888.  Francis Bellamy was a preacher, and both Bellamys were part of the "Society of Christian Socialists."  The Bellamys were self-proclaimed national socialists who supported the "Nationalist" magazine and the "Nationalist Educational Association" in the USA three decades before the Nazis began.  The Bellamys idolized the military and openly advocated "military socialism" to create an "industrial army" to nationalize the entire economy, including all schools.  Francis Bellamy created the straight-arm salute as part of the original pledge of allegiance to the USA's flag as discovered by the historian Rex Curry. http://rexcurry.net/pledgesalute.html  It salute did not come from ancient Rome. Photos can be viewed via a web search for "original socialist salute" and at http://rexcurry.net/pledge2.html  Francis Bellamy wanted flags in government schools to promote nationalization and socialism. It was a philosophy that led to the socialist Wholecaust (of which the Holocaust was a part) where millions were murdered.  That is why the Bellamys are known as America's Nazis.

Government schools teach that the pledge was created to sell flags to schools and Francis Bellamy is described as an advertising pioneer.  That is a whitewashed piece of the whole story.  A better description is that Bellamy was a propaganda pioneer, comparable to Leni Riefenstahl.

"Triumph" shows repetitive use of the infamous straight-arm salute of the National Socialists. Some scenes appear to show the straight-arm gesture delivered with a military-style salute to the heart before extending outward, or after retracting.  That also has a prior history in variations on the pledge of allegiance in the USA.

The book and the film include Bellamyisms.  They both give clues to how the German people pledged their loyalty to the Nazi-Sozis.  In keeping with their socialist dogma, the film shows Hitler praised as an "epitome of altruism" and the speakers refer to each other as "comrades" who will cause a "revolution of the people and workers" to end "class struggle" and create "egalitarianism."  Similar ideas are in "Mein Kampf."

Many people forget that "Nazi" means "National Socialist German Workers' Party" because the shorthand is overused by media mouthpieces who never say the actual name of the Party.  A good mnemonic device is that the swastika was used as intermeshed "S" letters for "socialism" under the National Socialist German Workers’ Party, a news-breaking discovery by the historian Rex Curry. http://rexcurry.net/swastikanews.html

Both film and book show repetitive use of the word "victory" which in German is "sieg" and related to the "S"-shaped "sieg" rune used in their symbols in the film, including the Hakenkreuz.  The book "Mein Kampf" might contain Hitler's only written comments about the "swastika." It is a brief section and can be interpreted as Hitler stating that the Hakenkreuz was used as alphabetic symbolism of overlapping “sig” or “sieg” runes representing "S" letters for "socialism" or the "socialist victory."

Although the swastika was an ancient symbol for "good luck" in India, that is not why it was used by the National Socialist German Workers' Party. The swastika as a symbol for German "socialism" is also shown elsewhere in many of their posters, flags, banners, books, medals and other paraphernalia. Adolf Hitler's signature evolved into "S Hitler" for "socialist" as shown in a recent discovery by the historian Rex Curry.

Here is another interesting fact: the word "swastika" does not appear in the film nor in the book (in the German version). Only the term "Hakenkreuz" (hooked cross) is used. "Swastika" was a bad English translation of "Hakenkreuz."

The film also shows other symbols that most people have never seen and never will.

Some educated socialists (socialists who know the origin of the pledge) laugh at so-called conservatives who support robotic pledging in government schools, because socialists know that most "conservatives" in the USA have been duped into supporting socialism and are ignorant of the pledge's socialist origin. Conservatives don't arise each morning to gather with neighbors and robotically chant, as they only "love" the pledge when government's schools lead children in robotic chanting every morning for twelve years of their lives upon the ring of a bell, like Pavlov's lapdogs of the state.

The Bellamys advocated a government takeover of education. After the government took over education, segregation was imposed by law and became institutionalized by government in its schools and racism was taught as official policy. During that time children in government-schools were required by law to salute the flag with the straight-armed salute in military formation daily on the ring of a government bell, like Pavlov’s lapdogs of the state.  It is an ominous parallel that is covered-up in government schools in the U.S. and neither the schools nor the media will ever show a historic photograph of the original pledge of allegiance.

Germans learned bad American behavior via old films, via WWI, and via the widespread use of the straight-arm salute by German-American groups (including the German American Bund) in the USA, and from Germans who were educated in the USA or resided in the USA, and vice versa. It  led to its adoption later by the National Socialist German Workers’ Party (Nazi Party).

Bellamy believed that government schools with pledges and flags were needed to brainwash children to embrace nationalism, militarism, and socialism.

Bellamy wanted the government to takeover everything and impose the military’s “efficiency,” as he said.   It is the origin of the modern military-socialist complex.

Bellamy wanted a flag over every school because he wanted to nationalize and militarize everything, including all schools, and eliminate all of the better alternatives. During Bellamy’s time the government was taking over education.

Bellamy wanted government schools to ape the military.  Government schools were intended to create an “industrial army” (another Bellamy phrase, and the word “army” was not metaphorical) and to help nationalize everything else. 

Because of the Bellamy way of thinking, government-schools spread and they mandated segregation by law and taught racism as official policy and did so even after the National Socialists were defeated, and well beyond. http://www.rexcurry.net/stopthepledge4.html

Thereafter, the government's segregation legacy caused more police-state racism of forced busing that destroyed communities and neighborhoods and deepened hostilities.

Because of the Bellamy way of thinking, government-schools spread and they mandated the Nazi-style salute by law, flags in every classroom, and daily robotic chanting of the pledge of allegiance in military formation like Pavlov's lapdogs of the state.

The bizarre practices served as an example for three decades before they were adopted by the National Socialist German Workers’ Party.

When Jesse Owens competed in the 1936 Olympics in Germany, his neighbors attended segregated government schools where they saluted the flag with the Nazi salute.

As under Nazism, children in the USA (including Jehovah's Witnesses and blacks and the Jewish and others) attended government schools where segregation was imposed by law, where racism was taught as official policy, and where they were required by law to perform the Nazi salute and robotically chant a pledge to a flag. If they refused, then they were persecuted and expelled from government schools and had to use the many better alternatives. There were also acts of physical violence.

The hypnotic "Sieg Heil" salute to a flag symbol mesmerized Americans long before it brainwashed Germans.

Jehovah's Witnesses were among the first people to publicly fight the government and its pledge ritual in the USA, during the same time that they fought it in Nazi Germany.  They eventually achieved total victory over Nazi socialism.  They achieved only partial victory over similar socialism in the USA.  The U.S. Supreme Court ruled that they could not be forced to perform the pledge.  Laws still make teachers lead children in robotic chants of the socialist’s pledge daily, on cue from the government. Jehovah's Witnesses and other children in government schools must watch the ritual performed by others.  

The pledge gesture was altered and explicit school segregation by government ended. The Government's schools still exist, the federal flag brands government schools, and government's teachers must chant the pledge daily. Students are kept ignorant of the pledge's original salute and history.   That is why the pledge still exists.  Those are the many reasons why Francis Bellamy and his also-famous cousin Edward Bellamy are known as the "American Hitlers" and as the first "American Nazis." http://rexcurry.net/pledge1.html

The shovel brigade in "Triumph" is a reminder of how the National Socialists built highways as make-work programs and government boondoggles.  It is an ominous parallel that the USA followed the example.  

During the period of the National Socialists in Germany, the USA's federal government was growing massively and attempting to nationalize the economy in many ways.  The US Supreme Court struck down much of the copycat legislation as unconstitutional until justices were pressured by the "switch in time that socialized nine" under the USA's worst president, the socialist FDR.

In 1935, the USA's government stepped onto the same path with the social security scam and its Nazi numbering at the height of Nazi power in Germany.

Today, some proposed social security reforms would invest social security taxes in private businesses and provide an avenue for the government to nationalize all private businesses in addition to schools. It is a scheme that would impress the Bellamys. It is an avenue for Bush to nationalize the entire U.S. economy. Conservatives support the Nazi-like scam because they don't have the ethics nor intellectual honesty to do the right thing: end government involvement in education, and end the social security scam, its taxes and its Nazi numbering.

After WWII ended, the government's schools in the USA continued segregation and racism, stopping in the 1960's.  The USA also continued its Nazi numbering and its robotic pledge, with no stopping.

Thereafter, the Bellamy legacy caused more police-state racism of forced busing that destroyed communities and neighborhoods and deepened hostilities.

Today, the USA numbers babies, and government schools demand the numbers for enrollment, and the numbers track homes, workplaces, incomes, finances, and more, for life.  School laws still tout the daily pledge, a bizarre ritual shunned by every other country. 

The film's cinematragraphy shows how socialism is pure Hollywood.  Socialism is conceited politician-actors delivering prepared lines and pretending to create food, clothing, and shelter on film.  In the reality off camera, their socialism destroys food, clothing and shelter and kills millions.

Overall, the book and the film that followed it are both terrifying.
