Hitler: Born at Versailles (Hitler Century, Vol I/Index Enclosed) Hardcover – January 1, 1987

See all formats and editions
Der Versailler Vertrag wurde 1919 ohne Mitwirkung der Deutschen als der Hauptbetroffenen verfaßt, ihnen gegen ihren Protest und ultimativ mit Androhung der Verlängerung der Hungerblockade wie des alliierten Einmarsches aufgezwungen. Die darin vorgenommenen, vom Haß diktierten Gebietsabtretungen, Staatsneugründungen und Bildungen von ethnischen Minderheiten in fremdvölkischen Staaten belasteten Europa in der Folgezeit sehr, führten zu Adolf Hitler und verursachten den Zweiten Weltkrieg. Erst in unseren Tagen zerbrechen mit Jugoslawien und der Tschechoslowakei die letzten künstlichen Gebilde der Pariser Vorortverträge und machen endlich natürlicheren Ordnungen Platz.

Das Zustandekommen und die Hintergründe dieser unser ganzes Jahrhundert schicksalshaft bestimmenden Beschlüsse der Alliierten werden von Léon Degrelle meisterhaft geschildert. Er hat sein Leben lang gegen Marxismus und Bolschewismus gekämpft, in der katholischen Rex-Bewegung der 30er Jahre in Belgien, als Divisionskommandeur des Zweiten Weltkriegs im Osten, danach als historischer Schriftsteller. In diesem Werk hat der mit dem Eichenlaub ausgezeichnete höchstdekorierte ausländische Offizier der deutschen Wehrmacht vor allem französische Quellen der damaligen Zeit ausgewertet und daraus viele bezeichnende Einzelheiten zusammengetragen.

Hier liegt auch der Schlüssel zur Politik bis in unsere Tage. Wer die Geschichte des 20. Jahrhunderts und die Ursachen des 2. Weltkrieges begreifen will, findet hier erschöpfende Antwort in mitreißendem Stil.

excellent condition of book from vendor. unbelievable information about how we let and funded the three most evil empires the has ever known. We gave them so support, money and equipment, we couldnt afford to let Germany win. Britain in loans alone got every cent they spent on the war. We got nothing, they refused to repay our loans because we were allies. Two million men were sent there to be their tool. Germany paid off the money they owed because of the versailles treaty in 10/2010. Thats right six years ago. Only Hitler stopped payment during his years, they resumed in 1945

5.0 out of 5 stars History you will find nowhere else....
Reviewed in the United States on September 29, 2016
Degrelle was something of a prodigy. By the age of 20 he had written five books and by 25 had a doctorate in law and his own newspaper. After Germany had overrun his country, Belgium, he joined the German army and rose from a lowly rank to that of a Major General of a Waffen SS division.

What sets this book apart is the impressive breadth of sources, almost exclusively from the writings of the main protagonists, and not, as is so often the case, from secondary sources and other histories. He draws extensively from original French, Belgium, German, Serbian, English, Russian and America writings.

The result is a story of almost 'untellable' history, too honest and daring for mainstream authors. The reader will be sobered by the hypocrisy, malice, duplicity, hatred, rancor, stupidity and baseness of those responsible for World War One and its aftermath.

It is a book that deserves a wider audience.

5.0 out of 5 stars ww1 origins
Reviewed in the United States on March 7, 2010
I bought this book from the Institute for Historical Review as soon as it was published because I had enjoyed Degrelle's earlier work, Campaign in Russia, so much. Degrelle was a larger than life character and probably one of Belgium's most famous sons, although the rabble who have misruled that country since 1945 would most likely disagree. He began what was to have been a series of works termed the Hitler Century with this being Volume I. Unfortunately, he left it too late as he died in 1995 with work in progress. Nevertheless, we can savour the one book he managed. It is, in my opinion, the best exploration of the causes and effects of 'the war to end all wars'. The usual unquestioned canard of diabolical, warmongering Germans planning world conquest is shown to be false. The Germans, while not completely innocent, were far less blameworthy than the French who plotted continuously to bring about a war which would allow them to recover the lost Alsace and Lorraine. It was French support and connivance which made Serbia so intractable and uncompromising. Germany did more than most to mitigate the tensions but, while not eager for war, were probably the best prepared. Degrelle has sifted many interesting nuggets of information about the ignoble parts played by the eventual victors, information which has been carefully ignored ever since by court historians. It is people like Degrelle and David Irving and Nikolai Tolstoy and others like them, so called revisionists, who make real progress in history. The establishment historians are well rewarded by the rulers so long as they continue to emphasise the approved story line. However, such men betray the public they are supposed to be keeping informed so that we can supposedly learn from history and not be condemned to repeat the same errors.
The book is well written although there are a few typos and it is a mine of information. Well worth having in your library.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Book For Understanding World War One
Reviewed in the United States on July 11, 2012
This is the most informative book I have read on the history of World War One. While the title mentions Hitler this book actually has little information on the man. It is primarily a history of the First World War, which of of paramount importance to understanding both Hitler and the history of the Second World War.
If you read only one book on the First World War this would be the book to read! Highly Recommended!

Hopefully it will be back in print again soon.

5.0 out of 5 stars Highly informative and entertaining to boot!
Reviewed in the United States on August 29, 2001
Former Waffen S.S. Standartenfuehrer Leon Degrelle has written a very insightful history of an era that is little known by the average reader. Most of the "mainstream" histories of the events leading up to the "Great War" do not delve into the duplicity of the French and the close relationship between the Tsar of Russia and the Kaiser. The post war era is all but ignored by historians , but Europe was in turmoil with Red revolutions breaking out in Bavaria and Hungary! Author Degrelle paints vivid word-pictures of many of the major players of the era ; he personally knew many of them and was himself a major political figure in his native Belgium.
This is an easy read since many of the chapters are relatively short. An easy book to finish , since it may be picked up and continued without losing track of the events. Interesting!

5.0 out of 5 stars An unbiased, sprightly treatment of a difficult topic
Reviewed in the United States on November 20, 1997
Leon Degrelle brings to his subject a fresh and sprightly viewpoint. His explanation of the origins of the Great War, or WWI as it later became known, is one of the few I have read that did not put me to sleep. His documentation is complete, his scholarship impeccable. The book is unbiased and carefully researched. His candor is refreshing, and sheds much light on the origins of both world wars, as well as on Hitler's rise to power in Germany. This is a book no serious scholar of the period can afford to miss, and one which will entertain and fascinate while it enlightens.
