Derek Hastings here illuminates an important and largely overlooked
aspect of early Nazi history, going back to the years after World
War I--when National Socialism first emerged--to reveal its close
early ties with Catholicism. Although an antagonistic relationship
between the Catholic Church and Hitler's regime developed later
during the Third Reich, the early Nazi movement was born in Munich,
a city whose population was overwhelmingly Catholic. Focusing on
Munich and the surrounding area, Hastings shows how Catholics
played a central and hitherto overlooked role in the Nazi movement
before the 1923 Beerhall Putsch. He examines the activism of
individual Catholic writers, university students, and priests and
the striking Catholic-oriented appeals and imagery formulated by
the movement. He then discusses why the Nazis embarked on a
different path following the party's reconstitution in early 1925,
ultimately taking on an increasingly anti-Catholic and
anti-Christian identity.
