Summary Of Hitler's Worldview By Eberhard Jaeckel
Hitler’s Worldview
Author Eberhard Jaeckel discusses Adolf Hitler’s Weltanschauung “view of the world” in the early to mid-1900s. Jaeckel states that Hitler was all about principles even if they were very undesirable principles. Hitler was just a go getter.
