Olga Lang By the time Hitler became chancellor in 1933, Lang was part of the radical left intellectual world in Berlin along with her second husband, Karl August Wittfogel, then an outspoken critic of the Nazis.

Taipei Times - archives This view coincides with the theory of oriental despotism of Karl Marx and Karl August Wittfogel.
