The Edged Effects Of Evil: Part 3

(2,921 words)
The German Republic, known as The Weimar Republic, was renamed after Kaiser Wilhelm II abdicated. The abdication occurred on the 9th of November, 1918. Consequently, The Imperial German Army became The German Republic Army, known as The Reichswehr. It was unofficially formed in March 1919, shortly after WWI ended. The world officially recognized the German Army. Noted, 1st January, 1921. It complied with the Treaty of Versailles's severe limitations. It retained its name until 1935 when Adolf Hitler proclaimed its military sovereignty. The Reichswehr took on its respect as the thing that makes a name to be, the Wehrmacht. It confirmed the beginning of The Third Reich. Nearly a year later, in September 1919, Adolf joined (DAP), The German Workers Party founded by Anton Drexler. Almost after he joined, Adolf was a major speaker. In the following year, 1920, Adolf threatened to leave the party. Yet members voted that he would be the talk of Munich as their leader. His first act was the renaming of the party. Adolf hailed it as, The National Socialist German Workers' Party, commonly known as The Nazi Party. Though Adolf appropriated the party's name, it won over many liberal votes on his side. His party was made up mostly of anti-capitalist conservatives. He later purged such elements from their mindsets and solidified a business element to persevere. Hitler was unchallenged by September 1922 with an agenda of refreshing ideas. It piqued members' interest, thereby guaranteeing a captivating audience. A year later, he attempted a coup d'etat; the Beer Hall Putsch, also known as the Munich Putsch, in November 1923. After the failed coup, Hitler fled to the countryside with Erich Ludendorff. Two days later, he was arrested and put on trial. He was found guilty of treason. The circumstances that followed after the trial seemed to work in Hitler's favor. Hitler's five-year sentence, reduced to nine months, conveniently mastered that time and gained him national notoriety. His months in prison served well. During that time, Hitler wrote Mein Kampf, which became the manual to be carried and read by the German people. Once released, Hitler switched from forming another coup concept for revolutionaries to seizing power. Instead, Hitler went through the legal channels and worked with the democratic process. To be elected into political office was promising. The failed coup d'etat that Hitler spearheaded, along with Generalquartermeister Erich Ludendorff and other Kampfbund leaders of the Nazi Party, was a living testament to play a different game and cool it with the tactics. Hitler reflected on the 8th and 9th days of November 1923, two thousand Nazi Party members marched down to the Feldherrnhalle in the city center, where they confronted the police. Fifteen Nazi patriots died. Four officers and one civilian also died. Near the final stage of Hitler's time in Landsberg Prison, he introduced his recently completed manual Mein Kampf with fellow prisoners Emil Maurice and Rudolph Hess. Adolf was released on December 20th, 1924, after a reduced sentence. He began studying the democratic process, finding it to be less violent and detrimental, considering their previous strategy, which ended in deaths and imprisonment. Hitler's Nazi Propaganda needed stability to advance and achieve a clear grasp of The Weimar Republic's future. Proper procedures were all addressed as he studied the democratic process of casting votes into the ballot boxes. The techniques were equitable and less controversial. The methods were attainable and conceivably possible to read between the lines in the light of day. Hitler foresaw the course that the Nazi Party needed to undertake. Closely examined particulars left nothing to chance. It was less arduous, with fewer casualties. It successfully launched Hitler into history's gathering limelight.

Hitler and the many that fashioned after him, who played dual roles between Austria and Germany, were steadfast against those who were signers of The Versailles Peace Treaty accord. Most of the cosigners were of Semitic birth or Marxist idealists. It became the breeding ground for evil's hatred to fester. The Nazi Party fed on their carcasses, heightening the evil already instilled in them. After Germany's capitulation, many beer halls opened up for their lost armed forces to sulk their woes. It also fostered hatred against the backstabbers who cosigned that peace accord. It became the playground for Hitler's Nazi Party. On September 26, 1923, after a stretch of unruly terror and political violence perpetrated by Hitler's Nazi Party, the Bavarian Prime Minster, Eugene von Knilling, declared martial law. The Staatskomissar (State Commissioner), Gustav Ritter von Kahr, commissioned three assistants. All from the Bavarian State: named the police chief Colonel Hans Ritter von Seisser and the Reichswehr General Otto von Lossow formed a ruling trifecta. Their first act was the banning of all political meetings. That move was considered a direct threat and detrimental to the causes of the great many seeking a resolve and immediate closure to those who had betrayed them. With the seasonal threat closely approaching, combined with communism infiltration, Hitler's desperation sought the benefit of WWI General Erich Ludendorff. His ties with von Kahr had loosened a bit since he became a member of the trifecta. Unfortunately, Ludendorff's outreach to von Kahr, he alerted the trifecta of Hitler and his Nazi Party. Their impregnable forces and the added fact that Hitler was no longer a ghost but now a target are what stimulated Hitler's march into history. The tag by von Kahr made the group, to a greater extent, vulnerable to aggressive acts, making the tenuous situation all the same volatile. The added fact that both sides are now heavily armed with live artillery--made for the all-right solvable outcome to be nothing less than deadly. The Nazi Party became a redeeming factor for the grownup Adolf. He viewed his name as an awkward constitution for commoners to address so plainly and nonchalantly. Adolf held a preconceived opinion that a simplistic reversal of his name would suffice. To avoid an embarrassing brouhaha, the name Adolf presented a less than formal relationship, which he viewed as unbecoming for an absolute future leader of the Weimar. However, Hitler's name airs out a room. Hence, both Hitler and the Nazi Party proclaimed their righteous placement in the history books, then and forever. It is a clueless promise that a superior-complex individual, that Hitler's enlightened proclamation would have a timeless future. Hitler's sense of power, being almost god-comparable imagery, arrogantly viewed it as eternal. That scenario prefaced Hitler's forwardness up to the 8th and the 9th of November, 1923. Whereby the Trifecta forces went up against Hitler and his Nazi Party. Amid the rigamarole of most of Bavaria's Putsch Halls, thanks to Hitler. The Putsch was conceived back in Rome, Italy, by Benito Mussolini. Hitler brought it into the spotlight between the 22nd and the 29th of November, 1922. He carefully studied its properties and effectiveness in Hitler's resurrection there in Munich, Germany. Hitler's manifestation of Mussolini's conceptual ideology affected the creation of the trifecta. It emboldens itself within the Nazi Party, as well as most of Bavaria's Putsch Halls. Hitler's transcendent ideology became influential within the region. It prompted Hitler to enact and effect a force of uprising of Bavaria's Putsch Halls. It is November 8th, and 9th, 1923.

Karl Mayr would become an instrumental architect, jumpstarting Hitler's introduction into politics. Consequentially, the propaganda machine. Born in Mindelheim on the 5th of June, 1883, he was the son of a magistrate. He started his military career after leaving school as a cadet in the 1st Bavarian Infantry Regiment, then elevated to Lieutenant in 1903. Mayr was promoted to Captain in June 1915 when he saw action during WWI. He served on the Western Front in Lorraine and Flanders. The title of Captain accorded him to serve as the German General Staff of the Reichswehr from 1919 to 1920. The position would be able to forward both Mayr and Hitler closer to each other. It placed Mayr as Hitler's superior in the Army Intelligence Division. Mayr's appointment came in 1919. It was on the 30th of May of that year. That made him commander of the 6th Battalion in Munich. General Command von Oven and Lieutenant-General von Mohl gave Mayr his title as head of the "Education and Propaganda Department." There is no historical record of how Mayr was able to mount up a connection with Hitler. My in-depth research of the subject matter focused on Mayr. The position he held made the reality plausible. As an overseer of Munich, it undoubtedly placed him in a unique position. It led Mayr to recruit Hitler. The time was June 1919. Now, again, I am presented with a conundrum. Based on my previous conclusion, was Mayr aware of Hitler's most recent acquaintance? Mayr knew who that acquaintance was and deduced that Hitler likely would have known, with all his contacts at his disposal. Hitler met the nameless individual a month earlier before Mayr recruited him. Mayr had Hitler route out communism in Munich. Hitler also held the task of retraining the Bolsheviks, who now are at close quarters respecting German Nationalism. Mayr also had him spy from within the rank and file. Disciplinary action was applied to both officers and the enlisted men. The Reichswehr was unofficially formed in March 1919, shortly after WWI ended. The world officially recognized the German Army. Noted, 1st January, 1921. It complied with the Treaty of Versailles's severe limitations. It retained its name until 1935. Adolf Hitler proclaimed its military sovereignty. The Reichswehr took on its respect as being the thing that makes a name to be, the Wehrmacht. It confirmed the beginning of The Third Reich. Mayr enlisted the assistance of Adolf Gemlich, a trusted German soldier. He forwarded the idea to Mayr. Under his advisement, Gemlich had a conversation with Hitler. He wanted to have a clear understanding and an accomplished fact regarding Hitler's approach to the Jewish issue and its relation to anti-semitism. The Gemlich Letter became the first acknowledgment of Hitler's exactitudes stemming from anti-semitism. During this time of 1919, Hitler kept closer ties with the authorities. Army pay of 40 marks enabled him to weather out the times. Mayr long viewed Hitler's charismatic speeches from the podium as somewhat overwhelming. The Army contributed to Hitler's future in the military. Shortly thereafter, they increased his income. Mayr began to cross lines with the Social Democratic Party's Iron Front. His preconceived notion would allow it, to a greater extent, to be agreeable with the people. Waving the Reichsbanner would become detrimental to Mayr. Nevertheless, it emboldened him as his best decision and he dared to do an additional document and a reliable number of them. Sometime after Gemlich's Letter, Mayr started to write his memoirs. Some of his statements referencing Hitler were untrue. It was what brought forward his falling out with Hitler. His last known rank was Major. In 1933, Mayr fled to France as the Nazis gained National power in Germany. Hitler ordered that Mayr be arrested for committing an act of treason. He was later captured by the Gestapo and was imprisoned in Buchenwald Concentration Camp. He was doing forced labor at the Gustloff ammunition plant until his murder in 1945. He was 62 years of age.

Ernst Julius Gunther Rohm, the subject of acquaintance, is now no longer nameless. Rohm was born in Munich in 1887, on the 28th day of November, He joined Germany's Army in 1906. Wounded during WWI, he was decorated with the Iron Cross First Class. After the war, Rohm served as Captain in the Reichswehr. He assisted Franz Ritter von Epp's Freikorps. In 1919,. He joined the same party that Hitler was in before its name changed to the Nazi Party. Nobody had known of Rohm's true character, except for a few who kept it under wraps, including Adolf Hitler. On the other hand, based on that fact, it was a wise decision. In the brevity of time, their friendship had grown towards a closer bonding, and many distanced themselves from them. Many assumed that Hitler was quite aware that Rohm was a homosexual, but kept that embarrassing fact to himself. Those aware of that possible scenario ambled everywhere and made sure not to stare. That encouraged Rohm to be motivated, to a greater degree. He became the only person to call Hitler by his first name. On occasion in a casual setting, Rohm would call Hitler by his nickname, Adi. His career in the military, gave the thumbs up to create paramilitary groups to aid Hitler's planned uprising. One of those groups was called the SA. Captain Rohm knew of the growing tension he had with the upper staff. They were cautious alerting Hitler of Rohm's SA being a threat to the party. Hitler was adamantly defiant with his staff and ordered them to stand down and leave Rohm and his SA alone. When a danger surfaced that the Chief of Staff was going to be murdered, two mysterious National Socialists, Horn, and Danzeisen, had convinced the court that it was just talk and were caused to be perceived, after serving a few months. In desperation, Rohm sought to have it attended to by his pal who is along in years--Mayr. Upon their meeting, Mayr blurted out to Rohm, if he had known the two men who wanted him dead. His homosexual affairs were no longer a secret. His intent to create a mental act of denial in order to save his SA by joining them with Mayr's Iron Front was no longer an option. Mayr was no longer influential and was on his way out. After that reality, Rohm saw that their conversation was just clearing the air. At the time of the Beer Hall Putsch in 1923, Rohm joined Hitler and the Nazi Party. After their failed coup d'etat, Rohm was arrested and was given a suspended prison sentence. Rohm was briefly a Reichstag deputy. In April 1925, Hitler and Ludendorff disapproved the propositions under which Rohm was organized to merge the 30,000-strong Frontbann into the Sturmabteilungm or the SA. They were also known as the Brownshirts. In 1925, he severed his ties with Hitler and the Nazi Party. He perceived the direction they are undertaking, bears a difference of opinion. They chose to wrap themselves in red tape that Rohm found to be insufferable. He emigrated to Bolivia as an advisor for the Bolivian Army, in 1928. It was under the recruitment of Kaiser Wilhelm. The Bolivians viewed the German Army possesses a deep sense of tenacity, well-skilled with the use of armaments on the battlefield, hand-to-hand combat, and stealth capabilities that successfully overwhelmed the unaware. Rohm's expertise will facilitate the Bolivian Army to be prepared for engagement with their enemies: Paraguay. That hostile exchange will be entered in the history books as, The Chaco War. He returned to Europe in 1930 still working with the Bolivians. The National Socialist Movement in the Netherlands was in its early stages. Hitler was alerted to Rohm's whereabouts, when he reached out to him, requesting that he return to Germany. Hitler officially appointed Rohm as the chief of staff of the SA in 1931. Hitler wanted an aggressive stance that would cast an air of fear among the masses. He immediately reorganized the SA, which numbered over a million stormtroopers. He resumed its crusade of breathing down their necks and roust them out of the country--if they're fortunate. Rival political parties, communists, Jews, and other groups that were antagonistic to Hitler's ideology and possibly stirred up trouble. Simultaneously, Rohm's homosexuality was no longer containable, brewing an intense hatred within the Nazi Party. When Hitler became the Chancellor of Germany, he elevated Rohm to Reichsleiter, which is the second-highest rank in the Nazi Party. Hitler named him Reichminister where he assumed his post as the overseer of the Reich Cabinet. While the homosexuality rhetoric persisted, the rise in his rank and post, cast a shadow of doubt that he would lose favor with Hitler. It was just a matter of time. By the next year in 1934, Rohm's time clock was counting down. When his speeches at the Reich Cabinet became radically vociferous, he demanded a second revolution, hoping that it would satisfy German Society. It was called, "The Rohm Putsch." It only worked against him after he involved his SA Stormtroopers to join his uprising. His actions led to his downfall. A stunned Hitler along with his industrial business alliance, perceived his reliability, had turned into a liability. Hitler ordered SS Himmler, Goring, and Heydrich to have Rohm imprisoned. On June 30th, 1934, earmarked that day: Night of the Long Knives. The SS purged the hierarchy of the SA and their stormtrooper divisions. The SS sealed off the area from the public. Local reporters were advised by the SS that there were 85 fatalities during the purge. Though historic accounts stated otherwise, and that the toll was staggering, between 700 to 1,000 men. The next day, on July 1st, 1934, Rohm was arrested and taken to Staldelheim Prison. Hitler was hesitant to sign any documents of having Rohm executed. The SS higher-ups told Hitler that they would care of it. SS Theodor Eicke, and SS Michel Lippert, entered Rohm's cell with a Browning Pistol and a single magazine cartridge. They told him that they'd be outside the closed cell door and that he had ten minutes to shoot himself. Rohm blurted out, "If I am to be executed, tell Adolf to do it himself." They left and returned exactly ten minutes later after not hearing any sound. They found Rohm standing in the middle of the cell: shirtless. They took the Browning Pistol and the single magazine cartridge from him. Rohm inhaled a deep breath. He held it in as his chest pumped outward. They each took a single shot at him. First, SS Eiche loaded the Browning pistol with a single magazine cartridge. A defiant Rohm faced down at the lowered barrel aimed at his chest. The unhesitant Eiche fired a single shot. Then he handed the armed pistol to SS Lippert, who also fired a single shot at Rohm's slowly slumping chest. They both confirmed Rohm's death with the SS higher-ups. Along with the local time being 2:50 p.m.
