Hitler contributed mightly to the positive perception of Nietzsche within the Nazi Party. He conversed for an hour with Baumler en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alfred_Baeumler at the Brown House in Munich in 1931. In January 1932, Hitler personally presented a bouquest of roses to Nietzsche’s sister, Elisabeth Foster-Nietzsche, who administrated the Nietzsche Archive in Weimar. He visited her again at the Nietzsche Archive at least three times in 1933-34, and in November 1935, he attended her funeral, where Gauleiter Fritz Sauckel spoke. Over a year before she died, Hitler granted her a monthly stipend of 300 marks from his personal funds. On his visit to the Nietzsche Archive in October 1934, he brought along his architect friend, Albert Speer, and commissioned the building of a memorial hall, where conferences and workshops could be held to promote Nietzschean philosophy. The project cost Hitler 50,000 marks from his private funds and was almost completed by the end of World War II….

Hitler clearly reveled in Nietzsche’s philosophy and publicly sought to connect National Socialism with Nietzschenism. However, tracing the influence on Nietzsche on Hitler is more complicated. Thus it is not always clear when Hitler’s stress on the importance of will derived from Schopenhauer or when it came from Nietzsche. It also seems likely that the influence of Nietzsche may not have been as strong on Hitler in the 1920s as it was later. Hitler’s friend, Ernst Hantstengl, claimed that when he heard Hitler give his March 21, 1933, speech in Potsdam, he detected a shift in Hitler. . . . ~ Page 24 / 25

We went on to Nietzsche’s house where h is sister, Frau Forster-Nietzsche, was expecting Hitler. This solitary, eccentric woman obviously could not get anywhere with Hitler; an oddly shallow conservation at cross-purpose ensued. The principal purpose of the meeting, however, was settled to the satisfaction of all parties: Hitler undertook to finance an annex to the old Nietzsche house, and Frau Forster-Nietzsche was willing to have Schultz-Naumburg design it. “He ‘s better at that sort of thing, doing something in seeping with the old house,” Hitler remarked. He was plainly pleased to be able to offer the architect some small sop. ~ Page 76

At the end of the nineteenth century Dostoevsky said that “unrest, confusion, and unhappiness is the present lot of man.” we do not have to be historians to know that the lawlessness and chaos which he saw approaching, the nihilism and decadence which Nietzsche sensed, were probably not visible to their contemporaries. Dostoevsky and Nietzsche were prophets of the proximate doom. Their apocalyptic sense is is now our reading and their, and our, history. We can see that “the Victorian look of confidence, of being at home in the world, of knowing the way around.” (Graham Green en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graham_Greene ) is even more exceptional than ever. . . .
