Writing His Booj – Mein Kampf
Hitler reviewed his political philosophy in the book Mein
Kampf.
He entitled this book Mein Kampf (My Struggle). In it,
he developed two important principles.
The Fuhrer Principle – Hitler argued that to be
successful, his party needed one all-powerful leader
(‘fuhrer’) – in other words, Hitler himself!
The Reichstag Principle – Hitler argued that outright
rebellion would never destroy the system. Instead, it
would be necessary to “hold our noses and enter the
Reichstag [parliament]” – in other words, get elected
and then destroy the system from within.
