Hitler-style applicant welcomed by parties
|
||
By Roger Boyes
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
MANAGERS of Germany<6E>s political parties are having difficulty explaining their
|
||
enthusiastic reaction to a man who applied for membership with letters cribbed
|
||
largely from Mein Kampf, Hitler<65>s personal manifesto. The incident illustrates
|
||
how indiscriminate parties have become in taking on new members during an
|
||
election campaign, even when their sentiments bear a suspicious resemblance to
|
||
those of the F<>hrer.
|
||
|
||
<20>Edmund Stoiber is a thousand times more suited to leading Germany than the
|
||
present Chancellor,<2C> said one letter sent to the Christian Social Union
|
||
headquarters in Ingolstadt. <20>Chancellor Schr<68>der is doing nothing to stop the
|
||
flood of foreigners who are spreading around our Fatherland,<2C> said the letter,
|
||
signed by a certain Rudolph Lewald.
|
||
|
||
The CSU immediately spotted a potential member. <20>Many thanks for your nice
|
||
thoughts,<2C> replied the local party manager, who enclosed an application for
|
||
membership.
|
||
|
||
The letter used chunks of Hitler<65>s book, which is still banned in Germany.
|
||
History students have to apply for access to the book in university libraries.
|
||
|
||
|
||
<20>The strongest, the brave and the hardworking will receive the birthright of
|
||
existence, only those who are born weaklings could regard this as offensive,<2C>
|
||
the letter-writer said. <20>So-called humanity is melting like snow in the March
|
||
sun.<2E> Such phrases were lifted from Mein Kampf, which was written while Hitler
|
||
was in jail after the failed Munich putsch of 1923.
|
||
|
||
Similar letters, also using the Nazi leader<65>s words, were sent to the other
|
||
political parties and drew sympathetic responses. <20>I read your letter with
|
||
great interest and pleasure,<2C> the manager of the Christian Democratic Union in
|
||
Cologne, said.
|
||
|
||
<20>Great that you want to join us!<21> enthused the Green Party headquarters. The
|
||
Free Democrats invited the aspiring party member to a fundraising charity ball
|
||
at which Hans- Dietrich Genscher, the former Foreign Minister, would be the
|
||
star guest. The Social Democrats sent a list of rallies to be attended by
|
||
Gerhard Schr<68>der, the Chancellor.
|
||
|
||
<20>I wanted to test how serious parties are about combating right-wing
|
||
extremism,<2C> said the letter-writer, who was in fact the Cologne novelist
|
||
Rainer Popp. <20>I had no idea that they would be so enthusiastic.
|
||
|
||
<20>For the first few days I expected two men in leather coats from the Special
|
||
Branch to knock on my door. Instead only the postman called <20> with packets of
|
||
election material from zealous political headquarters,<2C> Herr Popp said.
|
||
|
||
<20>I was stunned that political parties could react in this way <20> I reckon I
|
||
would have had the same response if I had signed the letter <20>Adolf Hitler<65>.<2E>
