Another Nazi myth has been exposed by Professor Rex Curry. The myth
cites a book entitled "The Nazi-Sozi Questions and Answers" (or Der Nazi-Sozi
by Dr. Jospeh Goebbels) as "proof" that German National Socialists referred
to themselves as "Nazis." http://rexcurry.net/swastika-nazi-sozi-goebbels.html
The book is cited by people who have never actually looked at the publication.
The term "Nazi-Sozi" only appears on the cover of that publication, and never
appears within the interior text where the terms "National Socialist" and
"Socialist" are used by Goebbels throughout to describe the German National
Socialists. Goebbels did not write the cover’s use of the phrase "Nazi-Sozi."
It is not even clear when that cover phrase was created. Goebbels did
not use the term "Nazi" nor "Nazi-Sozi" a single time within that publication.
In the notorious films of that time (e,g, Triumph of the Will), the N-word
and the F-word never appear as a self-description, but the German word for
"Socialism" and its variations is repeated as a glowing droning self-description
throughout. http://rexcurry.net/filmrev-triumph-of-the-will.html
German National Socialists were officially known as the National Socialist
German Workers’ Party (NSGWP or National Sozialistische of which Nazi is
shorthand). The Party was originally called the German Workers’ Party,
but the words "National" and "Socialist" were added to gain more members
and support from other socialists including the Social Democrats, who were
known as "Sozi." Even today, the Viennese refer to the "Sozi Party."
The NSGWP also partnered with the Nationalist Party of Franz von Papen to
take power in 1933.
The swastika was also altered to reflect the same socialist symbolism.
Originally, the swastika could point left or right and was usually flat
on one side as if drawn within a square. Eventually, new uses tended
to point the swastika to the right and also turned it 45 degrees to the
horizontal, to highlight the swastika’ "S" shapes. http://rexcurry.net/fascism-third-reich-hitler-nazism-swastika456.jpg
Although the swastika was an ancient symbol, Professor Curry discovered
that it was also used sometimes by German National Socialists to represent
"S" letters for their "socialism." Curry changed the way that people
view the symbol of the horrid National Socialist German Workers' Party.
Hitler altered his own signature to use the same stylized "S" letter for
"socialist" and similar alphabetic symbolism still shows on Volkswagens.
http://rexcurry.net/book1a1contents-swastika.html
Dr. Curry showed that many modern myths about swastikas use the false
belief that Nazis called their symbol a "swastika." German National
Socialists did not call their symbol a "swastika."
Professor Curry showed that many modern myths use a false belief that
Nazis called themselves "Nazis." The myths cause widespread ignorance
of the etymology of the word "Nazi." Party members called themselves "National
Socialists," not "Nazis."
The Nazi myth is still repeated in efforts to hide the socialism of the
Party as well as its connections to other socialists and anti capitalists
within the USA.
The notorious straight-arm salute of German National Socialists came
from the USA's early Pledge of Allegiance (to the flag), as shown by Professor
Rex Curry. It was not an ancient Roman salute, and that the "ancient
Roman salute" is a myth. http://rexcurry.net/pledgesalute.html
The myth is still repeated in modern efforts to cover-up Dr. Curry's discoveries
about the Pledge's poisonous pedigree.
The original Pledge began with a military salute that then stretched
out toward the flag. Historic photographs are at http://rexcurry.net/pledge2.html
and at http://rexcurry.net/pledge_military.html In actual use,
the second part of the gesture was performed with a straight arm and palm
down by children casually performing the forced ritual chanting by merely
extending the military salute. Professor Curry showed that, due to
the way that both gestures were used sequentially in the pledge, the military
salute led to the Nazi salute. The Nazi salute is an extended military
salute. http://rexcurry.net/book1a1contents-pledge.html
Francis Bellamy (author of the "Pledge of Allegiance") and Edward Bellamy
(author of the novel "Looking Backward") and Charles Bellamy (author of
"A Moment of Madness") and Frederick Bellamy (who introduced Edward to socialistic
"Fourierism") were socialists. Edward, Charles and Frederick were
brothers, and Francis was their cousin. Francis and Edward were both self-proclaimed
National Socialists and they supported the "Nationalism" movement in the
USA, the "Nationalist" magazine, the "Nationalist Educational Association,"
and their dogma of "military socialism" and the "industrial army," and Edward
inspired the "Nationalist Party" (in the USA) and their dogma influenced
socialists worldwide (including Germany) via “Nationalist Clubs.” http://rexcurry.net/bellamy-edward-german-connections.html
Germany's National Socialism existed before the socialist Mussolini switched
to using his newer (and his final) political phrase. German Socialism
began in Bohemia, not in Italy. The Czechoslovakian National Socialist
Party, founded in 1896 by nationalistic dissidents from the Czech Socialist
Party. They inspired Germans from Bohemia and Moravia, who created the
German Workers' Party in 1913. In Vienna, Austria the name was changed
to the 'German National Socialist Workers' Party' (DNSAP) in 1918.
Capitalists under German National Socialism were oppressed in the same
manner as the 'patriotic capitalists' in Mao's China. They were mere
bureaucrats in a planned economy, ordered to do as told, and stripped of
individual thoughts and acts.
The book "Destined to Witness : Growing Up Black in Nazi Germany" by
Hans J. Massaquoi contains some of the rare uses of the word "Sozi" on
the Amazon book website: ".....the Social Democrats, or Sozis, by contrast,
often looked ragged and undisciplined to me during their demonstrations,
having chosen to project an exaggerated proletarian image....” and “....the
‘three iron arrows’ banner of the Sozis...."
The author sought intellectual escape from German socialism through reading
books and in his idealization of the African-American Jesse Owens.
Yet, the author seems unaware of the fact that when before, during and
after Owens competed in the 1936 Olympics in Berlin, the Pledge of Allegiance
to the US flag used the straight-arm salute and was the origin of the salute
of the German National Socialists.
Even after his postwar immigration to the United States, the author witnessed
the results of socialism’s racial inequality in the USA. His journey from
Nazi Germany to the post-Civil Rights United States makes for interesting
reading but it is not recounted with an eye for detail.
Francis Bellamy, the author of the Pledge of Allegiance, was a self-proclaimed
National Socialist who wanted the government to take over all schools,
and he wrote the Pledge to promote that goal. When the government
granted his wish of socialism for education, the government schools imposed
segregation by law and taught racism as official government policy.
Massaquoi seems to be unaware of those facts.
It is a reminder of the socialist Wholecaust (of which the Holocaust
was a part): ~20 million dead under the National Socialist German Workers'
Party; ~60 million dead under the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics;
~50 million dead under the Peoples' Republic of China. It is a reminder
that the Wholecaust and the Holocaust killed many people of various races
and classes.
************************
It is unclear what the original German would have been, but there are statements
translated as "we Nazis" going back to 1932. Would the N-word have been considered
a slur at that time?
The Nazi press seems already resigned to a new election. Dr Angriff today
carries this banner head. "We Nazis are not afraid of a Rechstag dissolution."
[NY Times, 9/9/1932] Thats "Der Angriff," of course,
not "Doctor Angriff."
"What dies remains dead," the Nazi leader declared. "Chancellor von
Papen came empty-handed. But what I bring along with me will be priceless
because we Nazis are the blood, flesh, and life of the nation". [NY
Times, 11/3/1932]
He disclaimed any hostility toward humanism, asserting, "we Nazis in a sense
venerate in classical antiquity the Nordic spirit." [NY Times, 2/19/1933]
Der Angriff (meaning "The Attack" in English) was a newspaper published
by the Berlin Gau (a political or country subdivision of the National Socialist
German Workers Party in 1927. The newspaper was set up by Joseph Goebbels,
since 1926 the Gauleiter of NSDAP in Berlin. The leaders of the political
districts were known as the Gauleiter. Willi Krause (under pen name Peter
Hagen) was the first editor-in-chief. His successor was Julius Lippert and
since 1935 Goebbels' friend Hans Schwarz van Berk.
Initially published as a weekly, later twice a week it was turned into
a daily in November 1940. The content was the National Socialist Party propaganda.
The newspaper attacked, among others, Bernhard Weiss, the Jewish vice-president
of police in Berlin. For this it was temporarily banned on November 4, 1931
by Albert Grzesinski, chief of police in Berlin.
Around May 19, 1933 the New York Times also reported "In accepting the
imperial flag and the Nazi hooked-cross banner, President von Hindenburg
accepts the political triumph of the parties of which they are the symbol,
but his oath of allegiance to the Republic still stand inviolate." That
is a fascinating sentence, illustrating how the Times had already embraced
its misleading shorthand "Nazi," but not yet descended so far as to jettison
"hooked-cross" for "swastika" as it eventually would. The descent into deception
continues around November 7, 1935 when the New York Times reports "The new
war flag, it was officially revealed today, definitely puts the German armed
forces under the swastika cross, although some concessions have been made
to the old army colors and symbols." http://rexcurry.net/swastika-hakenkreuz-oxford-english-dictionary.html
