I think a new article dedicated to Nazi mysticism would be nice. Kent Wang 04:41, 2 Jan 2004 (UTC)


He carried the Imperial German Battle Ensign in the Munich Putsch, the Party's failed attempt at a nationwide right-wing revolution.

Should this read "flag" instead of "ensign"? I believe that to most readers, "ensign" means a Navy officer rather than a flag.


Some of Zippy's changes, though well-intentioned, IMO may be POV or have implications that are historically inaccurate. Specifically:

  • calling the Nazis "extreme" and "right-wing" is POV (and the latter is something that some people find contentious)
  • saying "deemed by Hitler to be Untermenschen" is historically inaccurate; decisions like this were often not made by Hitler, but were made by subordinates in decentralised and contradictory ways.
  • "regime" is arguably a POV term, meaning a government the speaker doesn't like. Should we replace it with "government"?

The Nazis were certainly not right-wing. But they were extreme. I don't think that that is a point of view.

Wrong picture caption?

I think the following caption is wrong. "Himmler (with machine gun) mans a Freikorps barricade in 1923" There were no Freikorpses anymore in 1923. I think this is is a pic from Himmler involved in the failed Nazi putsch in 1923. Andries 13:44, 8 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Thats a very well known picture of Reichskriegsflage members who supported the Nazi putsch. As far as the Freikorps not existing in 1923, that was a period when they were at thier height. The private armies existed all the way up to about 1933 when the Nazis merged them into the SA or they were disbanded -Husnock 8Jan05

The Nazi party was a right winged party, as Communisim is a left winged party.

Photo Flipped

It appears someone went in and saved an upside image of Himmler's body ontop of the old picture that used to be in this article. I tried 4 times to get it back, but kept coming up with teh upside down image. Probably need an administrator. -Husnock 13Feb05

Looks like it got fixed

This man was sick

I think it would be reasonable to add into the article that he was the fervent nazi in the entire party.
