Summary of Jim Marrs' The Rise of the Fourth Reich

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 Following the Armistice of 1918, which ended World War I, German soldiers returned home to a country economically devastated by the war. The Bavarian city of Munich was hit particularly hard, with jobless ex-soldiers wandering the streets. It was in this setting that Hitler, a 29-year-old veteran, came into contact with members of the Thule Society, a secret society composed of wealthy conservatives and anti-Semites, who encouraged him to join their party.

#2 Hitler became chancellor of Germany in 1933, after the German aristocracy made a deal with wealthy businessmen to support him. Hitler went against tradition by not working out of an office in the German Reichstag, or parliament building, in 1933.

#3 The German government passed the Enabling Act, which allowed Hitler to start his dictatorship. With the German population firmly under control due to massive propaganda and fear of government retaliation, Hitler was free to launch invasions into former German territories as well as Poland.

#4 Following World War I, American capitalism and German corporations became intertwined. The Dawes Plan, designed to restructure German war reparations, was largely a J. P. Morgan production. The Young Plan, designed to require burdensome monetary payments from Germany, proved as profitable as it was dangerous to European peace.
