Hitler's Millennial Reich : Apocalyptic Belief and the Search for Salvation

第一次世界大戰後，德國公民不僅尋求拯救Weimar Germany的政治、經濟、社會和文化動盪，而且還尋求精神救贖。隨著秩序，繁榮和社區的承諾，Adolph Hitler代表那些皈依納粹主義的人實現了極度的精神需要，因此不僅成為了Fuhrer，而且彌賽亞爭辯David Redles，他認為千禧年的情緒是崛起的關鍵。納粹主義與許多制度因素使納粹主義非人格化的作品相反，Redles提供了對千禧年運動的影響和潛力的全新觀點。

主要和次要的納粹黨派人物的著作，其中有一種驚人的宗教信仰和救贖信仰，揭示了德國人如何接受Hitler提供的千禧年帝國的概念。Redles闡述了Hitler's關於即將與所謂的Jewish Bolsheviks進行“最後一戰”的世界末日預言，被認為是一場“毀滅之戰”，轉變為一種同樣具有末世性的“最終解決方案”

After World War I, German citizens sought not merely relief from the political, economic, social, and cultural upheaval which wracked Weimar Germany, but also mental salvation. With promises of order, prosperity, and community, Adolph Hitler fulfilled a profoundly spiritual need on behalf of those who converted to Nazism, and thus became not only Fuhrer, but Messiah contends David Redles, who believes that millenarian sentiment was central to the rise of Nazism. As opposed to many works which depersonalize Nazism by focusing on institutional factors, Redles offers a fresh view of the impact and potential for millenarian movements.

The writings of both major and minor Nazi party figures, in which there echoes a striking religiosity and salvational faith, reveal how receptive Germans were to the notion of a millennial Reich such as that offered by Hitler. Redles illustrates how Hitler's apocalyptic prophecies of a coming "final battle" with the so-called Jewish Bolsheviks, one that was conceived to be a "war of annihilation," was transformed into an equally eschatological "Final Solution"
