In this paper, MAKING CONSCIOUS THE UNCONSCIOUS IN SOCIAL REALITY, I explore how Hitler's UNCONSCIOUS PHANTASIES were externalized: to create political reality: "Hitler projected his own symbiotic fantasy into political units. Austria symbolized Hitler’s body, and Germany the body of his mother. Hitler’s political ideology aimed to destroy the boundaries separating Austria and Germany—so that the two separate bodies politic could fuse into one.
The actualization of this fantasy would mean that henceforth the “twofold destinies of Austria and Germany” would be “eternally one.” If Hitler had his way—fulfilled his dream—there would be “no separation of history into Germany and Austria.”
