Who is Hitler and what did he do? A rare publication about Adolf Hitler. Istanbul, 1945 - only edition


Hitler : ne idi, ne yaptı, ne oldu? - "Who is Hitler and what did he do?", By Munir Suleyman Capanoglu. Published by Bengü Yayınevi, Istanbul 1945. A rare publication about Adolf Hitler that came out even before the end of World War II, and Hitler's fate was unknown. Accompanied by rare photographs of Adolf Hitler in different periods (a rare photograph of Hitler's father, photographs from his childhood, and more).


A rare publication that analyzes in depth the combination between the personality of Adolf Hitler, his anti-Semitic ideology, and his practical actions, beginning with his childhood years, and the influences he received as a teenager, and continuing with his first participation in the assembly of the "German Workers' Party" which gave its name to the "National Socialist German Workers' Party", the VOLKISHER BEOBACHRER newspaper which he founded together with Alfred Rosenberg in 1920 through which he gained the first crowd of supporters, and the mass rallies he initiated starting in the early 1920s, and the period of imprisonment following the failed coup attempt in Bürgerbräukeller, and his book Mein Kampf. This is one of the first publications that analyzes how an uneducated man was able to sway an entire nation after his evil ideas, while analyzing in depth the events that took place at the beginning of Hitler's career. The author claims that Hitler thought that if he found a common enemy for the German nation he could unite under his leadership all parts of the nation. In the quotes the author found from Hitler's writings in his younger years, he saw that Hitler marked the French nation as the main enemy of the German nation, but seeing that the German crowd was not enthusiastic about the idea, he moved on to mark the Jewish nation as Germany's greatest enemy. Seeing that the idea is gaining momentum among the different layers of the German people - the working class as well as the educated, he expanded the idea, and based his entire political plan on it. The attack against the Jews is the one that forced him to attack the historical foundations of Christianity - and from here he moved to the persecution of the Catholic clergy, an action that contradicted the race theory since most of them were Germans, but was consistent with the persecution of all historical religions.


At the time of writing the book, Hitler's fate was unknown (it was a few months before he committed suicide). He disappeared from the public eye a few months before, and the author discusses various speculations as to his fate. Has he gone mad or ill, is he hiding, has he fled the territory of Germany, or perhaps died in a bombing in one of the Air strikes. The author expresses a wish that Hitler will catch alive, and burn him alive in front of the watching eyes of thousands of the nations of the world. The end of the war was also not clear, and the author predicted that Himmler would continue to lead Germany on the battlefield for perhaps a few more years [!].
