Chapter 35 Chapter 6 Beer Hall Uprising (1)

1923 On the last day of September 1923, Hitler received a disturbing letter.This letter was written by "an old member of your party, a fanatical member".The writer pointed out that the almanac of Mrs. Elsbert Ebertine, the famous astrologer, contained a startling prophecy. "A man of action born on April 10, 1889," says the book, "whose personal danger may arise from too much carelessness in his actions, and very likely to trigger an uncontrollable crisis." The astrology shows that this person It was to be dealt with seriously; in future battles he was destined to play "the role of the Führer"; he was also destined to "sacrifice himself for the German nation."

Although she did not name her name, it was clear that she was referring to Hitler.She did not mention a date, but she warned that he could endanger his life if he acted rashly in the near future.Another astrologer, Wilhelm Ulf (who years later became Himmler's astrological advisor to the Gestapo) also speculated on Hitler's fate in late summer that year, pointing to specific dates.His prediction is also more ominous: on November 8-9, 1923, if "violence is used against something, there will be a catastrophic end." These prophecies have been carefully heeded by many.Several German psychiatrists and psychologists have considered the problem of "psychological astrology".Not long ago, Dr. O.A.H. Schmitz—an ardent disciple of the Swiss psychiatrist C.G. Jung—suggested that astrology might be what psychology needs.However, Hitler's comment on Ebertine's prophecy is: "What do women and stars have to do with me?"

Whether he believed in astrology or not, Hitler did believe that his own destiny would lead him to victory; and, as Helena Hanfstagel noted, he listened to nothing but affirmative voices .On the same day that he received Ebertine's astrological warning, he accidentally heard the voice in Wagner's old home, Wanfried's Villa in Bailet - where he was visiting Wagner's 86-year-old son. Widow Cosima.Winifred Wagner, the British wife of Wagner's son Pingfield, had long admired Hitler and his National Socialist Party.She warmly welcomes him; her six-year-old daughter, Fred Rhein, thinks, in Bavaria?Hitler in shorts, thick wool socks, red and blue plaid shirt, and puffy blue jacket is very funny. "His high cheekbones?, pale. Eyes unnaturally blue. Looks like he's half-starved, but there's something else, a frenetic glow."

Hitler was very unnatural, walking timidly and awkwardly back and forth between the music room and the study.He tiptoed about as if he were in a church.Later, in the garden, when he spoke to the Wagners about other recent future plans, "he spoke in a measured and deepening voice. Then we formed a little circle, like enchanted birds listening to music, But we didn't hear a word he said." When he was gone, Mrs. Wagner said, "Don't you think he's destined to be the savior of Germany?" Pringffy laughed.In his view, Hitler was clearly a "liar" and an upstart.

Hitler came to the other side of the street to visit the elderly Houston Stewart Chamberlain, already paralyzed in a wheelchair.Chamberlain, the son of an English admiral, was attracted to Germany by seeing that the German nation was the best.He's gifted, overly neurotic.He is generally considered to be one of the finest men of letters of his time.He was an admirer of Wagner and married Wagner's daughter Eva.The British prophet of racism was so impressed with Hitler that "he slept longer and more soundly" that night - the sweetest and soundest sleep since his blow in August 1914.In a letter to Hitler a few days later, he said: "With one blow, the condition of my soul has changed. At the hour of greatest need, Germany produced Hitler—a testament to the vitality of Germany."

Chamberlain's remarks must have deepened Hitler's self-feeling, that is, he is the one who controls his destiny.About a week later, when Hitler, Rosenberg, and Hanfstangel were driving through the mountains of Bavaria, their red "Mercedes" drove into the Bavarian mountains because the road was shrouded in thick fog. ditch.On the way back to Munich, no one spoke a word.Later, he said to Helena, "I noticed you weren't scared at all during this blunder. I knew we weren't going to get hurt. It's not going to be the only accident that didn't hurt me. I'll be safe." escaped danger and successfully carried out my plan."
