These lines summarize the fallacious arguments advanced by those who defended the document’s authenticity against those who, beginning in the summer of 1921, had established that the text had been fabricated from various plagiarized sources. The proponents of the Protocols’ authenticity saw in the document a precious revelation of the “Jewish mind” and of the strategies the Jews were employing to reach their ultimate goal : world domination.Hitler discovered the Protocols in the months following the publication of the first German translation of the forgery in mid-January 1920. He had no doubt that this was a text that revealed the secret plans of senior Jewish leaders, experts in a wide array of manipulations. The forgery gave him a model for interpreting the Bolshevik Revolution, which, like the Russian and Baltic German anti-Semites living in Munich, he attributed to the Jews. Beginning in the spring of 1920, he began integrating the repulsive myth of “Jewish Bolshevism” out to conquer the world into his anti-Jewish view of the world, adding it to the depiction of the Jew as the master of international finance. While Hitler’s reworking of his “doctrine” was influenced by Dietrich Eckart and Alfred Rosenberg, it also owes much to his reading of the Protocols.For Hitler, reading the Protocols meant getting to know the Jews, the goals they were pursuing, their strategies and their tactics. It also explained the way the world worked by explaining its hidden causes. Reading the Protocols meant finally protecting oneself from “the Jew” and even starting to win the fight against the absolute enemy, “the image of the devil,” by showing oneself capable of seeing through the enemy’s lies and foiling his plans. Following the example of Henry Ford, whom he admired, Hitler considered the document to be of decisive importance, writing, “For once this book has become the common property of a people, the Jewish menace may be considered as broken.” The Protocols were used by the propaganda services of the Third Reich up until 1939. However, the conspiratorial themes borrowed from the forgery structured Nazi ideology from its very outset.Cairn free access
