...Gregor Strasser (1892-1934) began his career in ultranationalism by joining Freikorps after serving in World War I. Involved in the Kapp Putsch he formed his own völkischer Wehrverband ("popular defense union") which he merged into the NSDAP in 1921. Initially a loyal supporter of Adolf Hitler, he took part in the Beer Hall Putsch and held a number of high positions in the Nazi Party. Soon however, Strasser became a strong advocate of the socialist wing of the party, arguing that the national revolution should also include strong action to tackle poverty and should seek to build working class support. After Hitler's rise to power, Ernst Röhm, who headed the SA, then the most important paramilitary wing of the Nazi party, called for a "second revolution," aimed at removing the elites from control. This was opposed by the conservative movement, as well as by some Nazis who preferred an ordered authoritarian regime to the radical and disruptive program proposed by the Party's left wing.

What do modern Germans think Obviously they're both pure
evils, but if Strasser had
been Chancellor 1933-1945
instead of Hitler, how would
things have been different?
Would the crimes against
humanity not taken place?
What was Strasser's opinion of
Stalin? What do they teach
about this in today's Germany?
Strasser is barely covered in
American history books, so I
ask Germany because it's a
parallel course the Third
Reich could have taken that
would have been dramatically
different in outcome.
Perhaps there would have been
a German Worker Revolution, no
expansionism, therefore no
WWII outbreak? How different
would strasserism be?

I don't like to disappoint you, but as a postmodern German I'm asking myself different questions: 1. What might have been prevented if Germany could have been reigned by mentally grown up people after 1888, like it was before, and like it is since 1949 again? 2. How much could still have been saved if the Weimar Republic would have had a chance to build up a prospering economy? I don't ask myself questions about any Strassers. I keep them in the trash can of history, where they are in appropriate company. Don't mind. Perhaps we can discuss another topic in a more edifying way later. Merry Christmas to you and a Happy New Year! |
