Religion-Through-Race-Dugstad.Pdf (891.6Kb) Religion through Race The religious perceptions of Den Nordiske Motstandsbevegelsen Kristin Holtekjølen Dugstad Master Thesis in Religious Roots of Europe Faculty of Theology UNIVERSITY OF OSLO Spring 2018 II Religion through Race The religious perceptions of Den Nordiske Motstandsbevegelsen III © Kristin Holtekjølen Dugstad 2018 Religion through Race Kristin Holtekjølen Dugstad http://www.duo.uio.no/ Trykk: Private IV Abstract This thesis considers the religious perceptions of a very vocal, self-identified National Socialist group in Norway called “Den Nordiske Motstandsbevegelsen” or “The Nordic Restistance Movement” (DNM). The thesis consists of three main approaches; 1. To contextualize expressions of the group concerning religion and religiosity to National Socialism of the 1920s and 30s as found in the parties of NSDAP (Germany) and NS (Norway) as well as the political group Ragnarok (Norway). 2. To uncover religious ideas and cosmology of the group as found in the textual sources on their webpage. 3. To discuss the groups understanding of the traditional religions of Christianity, Judaism and Islam as well as more loose-fitting religious concepts, popularly referred to as “New Age” My findings indicate that the complex relations between National Socialism and religious thought as were present in the 20s and 30s are still relevant to current groups like DNM. The group is not opposed to religion and does acknowledge the spiritual need of human beings, but places the core features of National Socialism above religious sentiment. These core features include biological-racial ideas as well as a fundamental anti-Semitism. A religion can hence only be accepted if perceived as compatible with National Socialism, leaving religious freedom intact yet within the frames of the ideology. The main difference between National Socialism then and now is the relative decline of importance, where DNM rarely explicitly discuss religion and only occasionally refer to religious issues or the place and space of religion within National Socialism. Because race rather than religion is regarded as the defining characteristic of an individual, DNM do not partake much in oppositional stances against Christianity or Islam and neither seem to have any particular preference for Neo- Paganism as was quite prominent within certain fractions in the 20s and 30s. The assessment of Judaism is however digressing from the clear-cut separation of race and religion, where no great difference is made between the two elements, leading the question of intellectual influence on Christianity an open, unanswered question as opposed to previous National Socialism. The relative peripheral role of religion is also present in the apparent distance of DNM to occultism and “New Age” which has influenced the general Nazi scene to some extent in recent decades. Nevertheless, there are elements which can be given clear religious meaning and perceptions within the cosmology of DNM closely related to the almost sacral apprehension of NSDAP; the role of Hitler, eternal life within the racial memory, struggle as the ultimate meaning of existence and the martyrium surrounding these sacrifices. As such the manifestation of religion is present, but mainly through the context of race. V VI Preface To write the final words of this thesis which has been my main occupation for the last year, is indeed ambivalent. After many days of reading and writing I am ready to let my thesis fly away on the wings of love, but at the same time there is so much more to be said and researched on this so interesting topic. As such, the feeling of curiosity and thirst for knowledge is supressing the bursts of stress and anxiety now the process of the thesis is at an end. There are many who are to be thanked for their help and support. I would like to thank teachers and co-students of the program Religious Roots of Europe 2016-18; you have made the last two years of studying a real treat with knowledgeable interactions and forgetful compact seminars. Particularly Violina has been a great comrade in arms with continuing offers of decadence and shelter in the great Babylon. I would also like to thank my family for stimulating my passion for history and religion at a very early stage, where the Third Reich has been an ever-recurring field of interest. Supervisor Dag Thorkildsen has been invaluable during the writing of the thesis, and despite the geographical distance between us been ever-available with crucial insight and thoughtful advices. Finally, I would like to thank my indispensable Dotto. You are the sun whose rays are all ablaze. VII VIII Table of content 1.

Biography p.98 9.1 Literature p.98 9.2 Internet Sources p.101 X Chapter 1: Introduction 1.1 The topic of choice Most defining books concerning themselves with National Socialism have regarded the movement primarily as a political ideology where spiritual elements have been considered opportunistic, half-hearted or at best demagogic. Already the conservative Chancellor of Germany 1932 and co-Chancellor with Hitler 1933-34, Franz von Papen labelled NSDAP more of a sect than a political party in the ordinary sense of the word: 'it´s axiom of the exclusiveness of the political all or nothing [and] its mystical Messiah-faith in the word- mighty Führer as the only one summoned to control destiny (Tal, 2004, p.17). As such the dynamic between the political and the religious elements of NSDAP has been used in order to devaluate the complexity of the movement; if it were to be a sect its deep, political resonance in Germany didn’t have to be taken seriously, if it were to be a political party its religious aspects would merely be a superficial display of populism. A similar dichotomy has been found in the discussion of the religious properties in National Socialism; if one is to accept its religious perceptions, is it to be interrelated to Christian, Neo- Pagan or more non-committed religious understandings? A traditional approach has been to oppose the teachings of Christianity to the teachings of National Socialism as incompatible of which the churches themselves were very active. As noted by Steigmann-Gall, the churches of Germany in post-war society were very emphatical in distancing any clerical connections to the former regime. By emphasising the clerics who contradicted the Nazi potentate and creating an aura of martyrdom around Christians executed by the state, it removed all ties between Christian creed and National Socialism (Steigmann-Gall, 2003, p.4). By placing religious tendencies as Neo-Pagan, atheistic or even occult, and easy explanation to the very complex question of how Hitler and NSDAP could gain power in Germany is offered (Emberland, 2003, p.149).

Fahrenwaldt The Knives Are Out The Reception of Erich Ludendorff’s Memoirs in the Context of the Dolchstoß Myth, 1919–1925 DOI: 10.15500/akm.18.01.2021 Zusammenfassung: Erich Ludendorff was the dominant figure of the German war effort in the second half of the Great War. After the military collapse he was one of the main proponents of the Dolchstoßlegende, the main liability of the Weimar Republic. This article investigates what role his 1919 memoirs Meine Kriegserinnerungen played in advancing this myth. Erich Ludendorff was one of the main advocates of the Dolchstoß myth. Introduction1 The narrative about the German defeat in the Great War proved to be the Weimar Republic’s biggest burden. The nationalist right championed the version that while the army was undefeated in the field, it was ‘stabbed in the back’ by the revolutionary home 1 This article is a significantly shortened version of my MSt dissertation as submitted to Oxford University.

This so-called Dolchstoß myth was promoted by the German supreme command when defeat was inevitable, and the myth – with slightly evolving meaning – endured throughout the Weimar Republic and beyond. The aim of this article is to understand the role that Erich Ludendorff’s published memoirs Meine Kriegserinnerungen played in the origin and evolution of the stab-in-the-back myth until 1925, the year of the Dolchstoßprozess.

    James Bernauer, S.J. Boston College From European Anti-Jesuitism to German Anti-Jewishness: A Tale of Two Texts “Jews and Jesuits will move heaven and hell against you.” --Kurt Lüdecke, in conversation with Adolf Hitleri A Presentation at the Conference “Honoring Stanislaw Musial” Jagiellonian University, Krakow, Poland (March 5, 2009) The current intense debate about the significance of “political religion” as a mode of analyzing fascism leads us to the core of the crisis in understanding the Holocaust.ii Saul Friedländer has written of an “historian‟s paralysis” that “arises from the simultaneity and the interaction of entirely heterogeneous phenomena: messianic fanaticism and bureaucratic structures, pathological impulses and administrative decrees, archaic attitudes within an advanced industrial society.”iii Despite the conflicting voices in the discussion of political religion, the debate does acknowledge two relevant facts: the obvious intermingling in Nazism of religious and secular phenomena; secondly, the underestimated role exercised by Munich Catholicism in the early life of the Nazi party.iv My essay is an effort to illumine one thread in this complex territory of political religion and Nazism and my title conveys its hypotheses. First, that the centuries long polemic against the Roman Catholic religious order the Jesuits, namely, its fabrication of the Jesuit image as cynical corrupter of Christianity and European culture, provided an important template for the Nazi imagining of Jewry after its emancipation.v This claim will be exhibited in a consideration of two historically influential texts: the Monita 1 secreta which demonized the Jesuits and the Protocols of the Sages of Zion which diabolized the Jews.vi In the light of this examination, I shall claim that an intermingled rhetoric of Jesuit and Jewish wills to power operated in the imagination of some within the Nazi leadership, the most important of whom was Adolf Hitler himself.

New York: Routledge, 2006. xii + 218 pp. ISBN 978-0-415-29025-8; ISBN 978-0-415-29024-1. Reviewed by Richard Steigmann-Gall (Department of History, Kent State University) Published on H-German (May, 2007) Many a Slip Twixt Cup and Lip This volume seeks to explore the "contribution of new religions to the emergence of Nazi ideology in the 1920s and 1930s" (p. i). Its author, Karla Poewe, has set for herself a prodigious goal: to demonstrate that "leading cultural figures such as Jakob Wilhelm Hauer, Mathilde Ludendorff" and other fringe religious figures in the Weimar Republic "wanted to shape the cultural milieu of politics, religion, theology, Indo-Aryan metaphysics, literature and Darwinian science into a new genuinely German faith-based political community. Instead what emerged was a totalitarian political regime known as National Socialism, with an anti-Semitic worldview" (p. i). In other words, she seeks not only to explore the milieu of pagan-Germanic "Faithlers" within the Third Reich, a small group about whom a great deal is already known, but to demonstrate that they invented Nazism as an ideology. Elsewhere Poewe puts this ambition more plainly: "Although the book concentrates on [Jakob Wilhelm] Hauer, it shows more broadly how young intellectuals and founders of new religions shaped the ideology and organizations of an emergent National Socialist state" (p. 10). Any lingering ambiguity as to her scholarly goal is put to rest when she contends that Hauer and others of his ilk "not only intended to destroy 'womanish' Christianity so that a new knowledge might emerge but they were instrumental in creating that new knowledge.

  • 1 European Ethno-Nationalist and White Supremacy Groups Key
    European Ethno-Nationalist and White Supremacy Groups Key Findings • European far-right ethno-nationalist groups have cast immigrants as a scapegoat for economic hardship faced by young Europeans. Rather than promote overt white supremacy, these groups denigrate minorities—particularly Muslim immigrants—as detrimental to European culture. • Far-right political parties like Germany’s Alternative für Deutschland and Italy’s Lega Nord have been able to generate substantial popular support by promising to defend their respective countries against the cultural attacks of immigrants and foreign influences, and have consequently made gains in domestic parliamentary elections. • Groups like Les Identitaires and its youth wing, Generation Identity, have renounced violence in favor of utilizing social media and public demonstrations to portray themselves as legitimate, mainstream movements protecting European culture. These groups have directly targeted Europe’s youth through social media and public demonstrations. • Groups including Combat 18 and the Nordic Resistance Movement, which openly embrace neo-Nazi ideology and violent tactics, are still able to recruit for violent activities, despite the rise of non-violent, populist groups. Executive Summary More than 70 years after the defeat of Nazi Germany, ethno-nationalist and white supremacist movements in Europe continue to thrive. They include far-right political parties, neo-Nazi movements, and apolitical protest groups. Some groups openly espouse violent white supremacy, while others have
