Richard Koenigsberg, Carolyn Marvin...and Hitler?             I research World War I and Nazism. Carolyn Marvin studies American History. We both came up with the same theory. Did Hitler study Carolyn Marvin? Statements below from Mein Kampf (Hitler, 1924),  Statements below from Blood Sacrifice and the Nation: Totem Rituals and the American Flag (Marvin, 1999). 1. The most precious blood (in the First World War) sacrificed itself joyfully, in the faith that it was preserving the independence of the fatherland. 1. Blood sacrifice preserves the nation. At the behest of the group, the lifeblood of community members must be shed.  2. To be “national” means to act with a boundless and all-embracing love for the people, and even to die for it. 2. The irrefutable sign of national faith (patriotism) is making one’s body an offering, a sacrifice. 4. The state-forming forces are the ability and will of the individual to sacrifice himself for the totality. 4. Society depends on the death of its own members at the hands of the group. 5. To be “social” means that every individual is ready to die for the community. 5. To die for others is the ultimate expression of faith in social existence.
