The Russian Roots of Nazism: White E'migre's and the Making of National Socialism 1917-1945 Michael Kellogg This groundbreaking book examines the overlooked topics of the influence of anti-Bolshevik, anti-Semitic Russian exiles on Nazism. White E'migre's contributed politically, financially, militarily, and ideologically to National Socialism. This work refutes the notion that Nazism developed as a peculiarly German phenomenon. National Socialism arose primarily from the cooperation between volkisch (nationalist/racist) Germans and vengeful White e'migre's. From 1920 to 1923, Adolf Hitler collaborated with a conspiratorial far right German-White e'migre' organization, Aufbau (Reconstruction). Aufbau allied with Nazis to overthrow the German government and Bolshevik rule through terrorism and military/paramilitary schemes. This organization's warnings of the monstrous "Jewish Bolshevik" peril helped to inspire Hitler to launch an invasion of the Soviet Union and to initiate the mass murder of European Jews. This book uses extensive archival materials form Germany and Russia, including recently declassified documents, and it will prove invaluable reading for anyone interested in the international roots of National Socialism.
