DOC Actors; Pilgrims; Kings and Gods: The Ramlila of Ramnagar by Anuradha Kapur in History

Description

The Programme of the N.S.D.A.P - This book by Gottfried Feder was first published in May 1932 at the direct request of Adolf Hitler; for the coming Reichstag elections; and outlines the official National Socialist position on economic and social policy. The opening chapter describes the rise of the N.S.D.A.P. and includes a biographical history of the career of Adolf Hitler. The book outlines a wide range of proposals that formed the basis of official NSDAP policies; none of which could be altered - not even by the NSDAP Council of Administration. Hitler was fully aware of the broken election pledges of "democratic" politicians; and he had no intention of allowing the NSDAP to become yet another talking shop where political programmes are discarded once a political party gains power. To this end Hitler states "the Programme is fixed; and I shall never suffer changes in the principles of the movement; as laid down in its Programme." Gottfried Feder; was the principal economic theoretician behind the National Socialist "economic miracle" that saw the prosperity of the German people transformed within 3 years of Hitler being elected to power.
