Hitler: Part III - Origins History of the NSDAP Swastika history of the swastika including the Anschluss...more on the relationship with Eva Braun... the Sudeten Conflict... I have met a few arm chair politicians... they care more about their money than they do their own country... yes but surely as the propaganda leader of your party you must know that in order to defend their money they will spend it... a good deal of it... that is if someone they trust tells them that it is a safe bet... that is where I come in...Herr Hitler I can make you very popular... far more popular than him... but you have to admit the color catches the eye... unlike the Soviets with their hammer/ sickle the National Socialists had no such flag or emblem... Hitler not only wanted a symbol to represent the NSDAP but one powerful enough to strike fear into the communists... the once failed art student would now set about designing the most recognized flag in history... after 1945 the NSDAP flag will be banned... portrayed by the media as a symbol of hate... it will be hijacked by extreme political groups... others such as motorcycle gangs who have no concept of its original anti-communist design... Blutfahne Swastika blood flag the Blutfahne displayed at the attempted Beer Hall Putsch in Munich in 1923 ended up covered in the blood of the National Socialist members either wounded or killed by Munich police... it was thereafter treated as a sacred object... used at the Nuremberg Rallies by Adolf Hitler to sanctify new flags... the most treasured of all NSDAP artifacts was last seen on October 18 1944... to this day its whereabouts remain unknown... Anschluss - War of Flowers 1938 on the morning of March 12 1938 German soldiers crossed the border into neighboring Austria... they were greeted not with bullets/ guns but with roses/ carnations... so much so that the action became known as the Blumenkrieg aka the War of Flowers... most of the Austrian people... envying what they saw as the economic success/ prestige that Hitler had brought to Germany... now welcomed their German neighbors... one people/ one Reich/ one leader... in a demonstration of how central he was personally to this whole system... Hitler travelled across Austria on a campaign tour... in the future I want to be nothing other than what I have been in the past alerter of my people/ teacher of my people/ Fuhrer of my people... as German troops cross the border of Austria... Austrian troops simultaneously enter the German cities of Munich/ Dresden/ Berlin... a sign to the rest of the world of a peaceful reunification... an overwhelming 99.7% of Austrian citizens will democratically vote to reunite with Germany... this people... do not come to the Reich with hat in hand... I myself bring you home!... I think that in some period around the end of 1937/ 1938 Hitler feels... ´well this is fine but I did not come to power just to restore German self confidence... solve this/ more...´ he changed his gear I think... then getting rid of a number of the old guard in the army/ the foreign office/ soon... he becomes more aggressive... it was March 12 1938... Austria was showered with Swastikas... Hitler crossed the border near his birth place at Braunau... people rejoiced at the Anschluss which they saw as the fulfillment of an old dream of the German nation... an emphatic display of self determination... a right denied to the German people under the Versailles Treaty... whose terms were generally considered unjust... visibly moved he entered Vienna... the city that had seen his early failures now gave him the reception of a hero... homage was being paid to the man who had achieved the unification of the German people... the welcome here was the most tumultuous yet... while in Leonding Hitler visits the grave of his parents situated across the street from his childhood home...
