Ideology and crime
Rosenberg and Hitler united painter skills and lack of born ancestors. But truly neighing men anti-Semitism.
For the ability to explain the mistress of Jewish Bolshevism, all the troubles of the Aryans Adolf robbed Alfred's bad organizational abilities (while Hitler after the beer coup was in the Landsberg prison, Rosenberg, who was instructed to maintain the unity of the NSDAP, almost ruined the party). It was the native of Revel to acquainted Adolf with the anti-Semitic fake - "protocols of the Zion wise men", quotes from which the book of Hitler's "Main Campf" is saturated.
Since 1920, Rosenberg began publishing his own works, implancing Jews. The first in the series of books of the graduate architect crematoriums became "Trail of Jews in a change in time" and "immorality in the Talmud". According to Rosenberg, Christianity is a Jewish project who seduces the Aryans with false humanism, and full peoples should be returned to pagan roots.
Alfred's Orthodox Church was somewhat better than Christianity at all. Becoming during the Second World War ReichSministra of Eastern Territories, he tried to open the temples in the area of occupation, accountable to the Third Reich. In June 1942, Rosenberg became the author of the "Edictory about religious tolerance", which, due to the intervention of Martin Borman in the occupied territories of the RSFSR and the Belarusian SSR, was not published, and in Ukraine and the Baltic States published with bills.
Heinrich Gering was opposed to another project Alfred - the Rapus program in the zone of the occupation of collective farms. According to Rosenberg's opponent, the need to feed the army of Germany required the conservation of the slave labor of Russian and Belarusian peasants, and the collective farms should not be eliminated, but only to rename.
In general, the Slavs, the native of Revel spoke softer than colleagues on the third Reihu, and considered Russian and Ukrainians in need of the German leadership by people who were deceived by the Jews' Bolsheviks. In his youth, Alfred was in the top of Aufbau Veringung - the organization of Russian emigrants in Germany.
Rosenberg's colleagues considered the Baltic German to be a bad administrator. Joseph Goebbels ridiculed Alfred for unwillingness to disband the Ministry of Eastern Territories in the spring of 1945, when the outcome of war was predetermined, and the zones occupied by Germany no longer remained.
Rosenberg, besides the position of the Eastern Land Reichs Minister, held in the third Reich and another important post - was an authorized furera on the control of the spiritual education of the NSDAP. The Book of Alfred "Miph of the XX century" became the "Bible" of Nazism and, despite the pushed style of the presentation, went out in fascist Germany with multi-million editions.
