The Nazi synthesis was an entreaty to all, to the reactionary, to the radical. I was meant to placate the devout, to intrigue the pagan, soothe the old, intoxicate the young, reassure the haves and offer a new day to the have-nots.
The Nazis promised everything to everybody in a manifesto issued in February, 1920, titled the 25-point Program aka the Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei, about which German political scientist and historian of the Weimar Republic Karl Dietrich Bracher wrote âwas little more than an effective, persuasive propaganda weapon for mobilizing and manipulating the masses. Once it had brought him to power, it became pure decoration: âunalterable,â yet unrealized in its demands for nationalization and expropriation, for land reform and âbreaking the shackles of finance capital.â Yet it nonetheless fulfilled its role as backdrop and pseudo-theory, against which the future dictator could unfold his rhetorical and dramatic talents.â
