German Supremacism Long Before Hitler Notestein

Conquest and Kultur, by Wallace Notestein. 1918

The Systematic German Drive for Domination Over Other Peoples. European Union Anticipated

This work, originally published in 1918, consists of a series of quotes from prominent Germans. The quotes include those in which Germans openly affirm the use of power, and warfare, as acceptable and even desirable tactics to further German goals. (pp. 29-46, 106-110).

The following paragraphs are direct quotes from this book:

GERMAN MILITARISM AND THE WILL TO POWER

Again, what men are most honored in the history of the nation? What names fire the German heart with the deepest passion? Not Goethe, Schiller, Wagner, Marx. No. It is Barbarossa, Frederick the Great, Blucher, Moltke, Bismarck, the men of blood and iron—it is they, who have sacrificed thousands of lives, for whom the German people cherish their tenderest feelings and a gratitude which almost amounts to worship.—Dr. W. Fuchs, 1912. (p. 123). [Fuchs was a distinguished physician.]

A SAMPLE OF GERMAN SUPREMACIST THINKING

We feel ourselves to be the bearers of a superior kultur. We have no doubt that a defeat of our people would retard by centuries the development of mankind.—Dr. Paul Conrad, 1915. [Dr. Conrad was the pastor of a church in Berlin.] (p. 14).

There are races which are incapable of attaining a high humanity, incapable of influencing the world. Such nations are destined to hew wood and draw water for dominant nations. If they cannot fill this inferior office, they must perish.—Professor Rudolph Huch, 1917. (p. 16). [The informed reader may realize that Hans Frank made exactly the same “wood hewers and water bearers” statement in the early years of the Nazi German occupation of Poland in WWII.]

As the German Eagle soars high above the beasts of the earth, so must the German feel exalted above all surrounding peoples, and must look down upon them in their bottomless depths…But noblesse oblige. The thought that we are the chosen people lays heavy obligations upon us.—Werner Sombart, 1915. (p. 145).

AGE-OLD GERMAN IMPERIALIST AMBITIONS AGAINST SLAVS

On the eastern frontier, too, where the strength of the modern German Empire grew up in centuries of war against the Slavs, the possessions of Germany are menaced.—F. von Bernardi, 1911. (p. 75).

With all necessary prudence, but also with inflexible determination, a process of expropriation should be inaugurated, which the Poles and the Alsatians and Lorrainers would be gradually transported to the interior of the Empire, while Germans would replace them at the frontiers.—Friedrich Lange, 1904. (p. 81).

GERMAN HEGEMONY: SHADES OF THE MODERN EUROPEAN UNION

The strongest Germanic State on the Continent must take over the hegemony; the smaller ones must sacrifice as much of their independence and their language as is necessary to the permanent insurance of a new imperial unity. The question whether military force would become requisite is secondary…–Joseph L. Reimer, 1905. ((p. 53).

Not to live and let live, but to direct the lives of others, that is power. To bring people under our rational influence in order to put their affairs on a better footing, that is more refined power.–Dr. Carl Peters, 1915. [Peters was an eminent German traveler and writer.] (p. 17).

The German race is called to bind the earth under its control, to exploit the natural resources and the physical powers of man, to use the passive races in subordinate capacity for the development of its Kultur.—Ludwig Woltmann, POLITISCHE ANTHROPOLOGIE, 1913. (p. 17).

Only a Germany that reaches from the Ems to the Danube, from Memel to Trieste, to about the Bug [Reviewer’s Note: Including Poland], can compel peace in Europe without imposing a lasting burden on her inhabitants.—Paul de Lagarde (vel Boetticher), DEUTSCHE SCHRIFTEN 1878, 1891. [Lagarde was a theologian and professor at Gottingen.]. (p. 52).
