Heinrich Härtle

Heinrich Härtle (born February 24, 1909 in Sachrang ; † January 11, 1986 in Munich ) was a National Socialist science functionary and right-wing extremist publicist for the Bonn Republic .

Life

Härtle was the son of a dairy farmer. In 1926 he joined the right-wing extremist Freikorps Bund Oberland . In 1927 he became a member of the NSDAP ( membership number 60.398). Since 1928 he was also a member of the SA , in which he was promoted to Sturmbannführer in 1942.

In 1936 Härtle became head of department in the main training office of the NSDAP. In 1937 he published the book Nietzsche and National Socialism . In this work about the philosopher Nietzsche he interprets his writings in the sense of National Socialism . IN other writings, he especially polemicized against political Catholicism and Catholic social teaching .

In 1939 Härtle succeeded Alfred Baeumler as head of the humanities department in the Rosenberg office and was responsible for the "main philosophy department". During the Second World War , Härtle belonged to a propaganda company in 1940 , but was released from military service in December of the same year.

Alfred Rosenberg entrusted him in 1944 as head of the special science staff in the Reichsleiter Rosenberg operational staff with the management of the "Working Group for Research into the Bolshevik World Danger".

In the post-war period, Härtle was interned until 1948. Meanwhile, in the Soviet occupation zone, his writings, Professional Associations as an Instrument of Power in Political Catholicism (Verlag der DAF, Berlin 1937), The German Worker and Papal Social Policy (Hochmuth, Berlin 1937), and The National Socialist Foundations of Labor Policy (Mier & Glasemann, Berlin 1937 ), Nietzsche and National Socialism ( Rather , Munich 1939), The ideological foundations of labor policy (Verlag der DAF, Berlin 1939), From the corporate state to priestly rule (Central Office of the DAF, Berlin 1940), Weltanschauung and work. Edited by the Reichsorganizer der NSDAP (Verlag der DAF, Berlin 1940) and The ideological foundations of Bolshevism ( Hoheneichen , Munich 1944) placed on the list of literature to be sorted out.

Subsequently, as one of the “most active right-wing extremist publicists”, he was the main editor or editor of the right-wing extremist magazines Reichsruf , Deutsche Wochen-Zeitung and Klüter-Blätter . He also published books in which, contrary to historically proven facts, he tried to wash Germany of its guilt for war and genocide. Most of his books appear in the extreme right-wing publishing company Berg . He has received various prizes from right-wing extremist associations, such as the "Ulrich von Hutten Medal" from the Society for Free Journalism and in 1975 the Schiller Prize from the German Cultural Association of European Spirit .
