Hitler And The Nazi Cult Of Celebrity (2012) - Plot & Excerpts
Yet Hitler encouraged outdated and mythical elements to Germanic life that were rooted in lore and culture, such as the glorification of blood, soil and farm life, and the revival of the ancient Germanic drama played as open-air theatre. He also practised the Cult of the Blood Banner; Hitler passed along endless rows of flags carrying the sacred Blutfahne flag, which was said to have been carried by the fallen Nazis during the Munich Putsch, and from which mystic power flowed into all the banners and flags it touched. His more essential duties as Chancellor were not his priority. He was lazy but gave the illusion of being busy. He was seldom in Berlin to conduct business but travelled to give speeches; he ensured he was always in demand. He moved from one theatrical stage to another, and the audience was always guaranteed.

He was introduced onto each stage as ‘The greatest worker of the party, Adolf Hitler’, and he repeatedly told the people, as if it was one of his greatest hits, ‘Germany is before us.
