Topic: Nazi regime


  
  Nazism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Originally, Nazi was invented by analogy to Sozi (a common and slightly pejorative term for the Nazis' main opponents, the socialists in Germany).
Nazi mysticism is a term used to describe a philosophical undercurrent of Nazism; it denotes the combination of Nazism with occultism, esotericism, cryptohistory, and/or the paranormal.
Like other fascist regimes, the Nazi regime emphasized anti-communism and the leader principle (Führerprinzip), a key element of fascist ideology in which the ruler is deemed to embody the political movement and the nation.

 Nazism   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
The Nazi rationale was heavily invested in the militarist belief that great nations grow from military power, which in turn grows "naturally" from "rational, civilized cultures." Hitler's calls appealed to disgruntled German Nationalists, eager to save face for the failure of World War I, and to salvage the militaristic nationalist mindset of that previous era.
Hitler's Nazi theory also claimed that the Aryan race is a master race, superior to all other races, that a nation is the highest creation of a race, and great nations (literally large nations) were the creation of great races.
The Nazi's incorporation of socialistic principles appealed to those disaffected with capitalism while presenting a political and economic model that divested "Soviet socialism" of elements which were dangerous to capitalism, such as the concept of class struggle, "the dictatorship of the proletariat" or worker control of the means of production.

To achieve this end, the Nazi regime had to differentiate itself from the rest of the world, creating of itself a microcosm of civilization in which its ideology could fester.
I use the term Nazi here as one would use the male pronoun in exposition; it certainly does not represent all the parties concerned, but is useful for a general analysis.

 Fellow travellers with the Nazi regime (January 2004) - Review - PhysicsWeb
Himmler decided that it was in the interests of the Nazi regime to leave Heisenberg alone, despite attempts by disreputable individuals such as the physicists Philipp Lenard and Johannes Stark - hypnotized as they were by Nazi obsessions - to dispose of Heisenberg, whom they saw as a "white Jew".
As Cornwell observes: "Heisenberg's pact with the [Nazi] regime was an implicit agreement to separate science from the scientist - theoretical physics from Einstein's Jewishness.
Dubbing them "fellow travellers in the Nazi regime", Cornwell points out that these scientists "remained on the face of it morally and politically aloof while arguing that science is an apolitical, neutral pursuit".

 Nazi Genocide and Mass Murder
When I turned to Nazi Germany I was sure that since Nazi genocide and mass murder was so well known and researched I would easily be able to confine the essential material on this democide to a chapter.
This is for a genocide carefully administered by a regime that was better than most about keeping records and statistics, whose surviving archives and secrets were completely available after the Nazi defeat, and about which there has been for nearly half a century many historians dedicated to uncovering the truth.
As this is apparently a first effort to determine an overall democide total for the Nazi regime, I have tried to present in the appendix all the material a researcher might need to judge, replicate, or build on this study, including presenting, where needed, the reasoning involved in calculating the various totals.
