Chapter 167: Organization (I)

Hitler always believed in the existence of mysterious forces, and he was also a conspiracy theorist and very sensitive to other secret societies with religious overtones.

Freemasonry was not a political organization for the Nazis, and it was not a crime to add to it, as German Freemasonry did infiltrate the Weimar government and intervene in many of the social and political activities of the time.

When Hitler's Nazi Party seized power, the German Freemasons split into two factions, and when the Nazis came to power, the Freemasons who opposed the Nazi Party were purged, most of whom were of Jewish descent. The Nazi Party obtained a list of the majority of the members of the German Freemasons through members of the organization that supported the Nazi ideals, and the Freemasons who did not have time to flee the country were arrested by the General Security Service and sent to various concentration camps in Germany, with red triangle labels of political prisoners sewn on their chests.

The German Freemasons were devastated at the hands of the Nazis, and only a few were lucky enough to survive the war, and the only reason why these people were not killed was because of their Germanic blood. The fate of the arrested Jews was much more miserable, as they did not even receive the label of political prisoners, but had a yellow six-pointed star sewn on their chests representing their national origin, and at the end of the war there were almost no one in ten of them.

Germany is one of the birthplaces of Freemasonry, and it is rumored that Frederick the Great served as president of the German Freemasonry when he was still the crown prince of Prussia, and even received the highest rank of master. For a long time, the Freemasons in Germany have always retained the true character of religious associations, although they also intervened in political affairs, but their main efforts were still focused on economic and cultural exchanges, because they pursued too much mystery, and their influence on German society was not strong.

Historically, the German Freemasons played a role in communicating and organizing the common people in the activities of the German church and city-states against the ideological imprisonment and religious oppression of the Holy See, but by the twentieth century, this organization had long since detached itself from the lower classes.

Therefore, this is not the mysterious group that called for wind and rain to control the world in later generations, to put it bluntly, it is actually a community organization similar to high-level clubs and industrial unions, and the system and structure are not as strict as people think, otherwise how could it be so easy to be wiped out by the Nazi Party. Historically, the Freemasonic organizations in Europe have been banned repeatedly, and each time the top ranks have been taken away, and their viability is not as good as that of those underground cults.

Freemasonry itself was established to fight against the Holy See, and the original purpose was to preserve the knowledge left by the predecessors in the environment of religious oppression, and to discover new knowledge and culture, and to strive for the emancipation and freedom of thought, and the members were mostly Protestants or Christian reformists, which were the so-called heretics of the Romans at that time.

This organization was advanced and revolutionary, and played an important role in the European Enlightenment, when many of Europe's pioneers of thought and famous scientists were members of Freemasonry, and the noble members of Freemasonry could provide protection for these people from persecution by the Catholic Church.

Hitler was very hostile to Freemasonry because a non-Nazi-controlled organization would inevitably cause damage to the new national order he established, such as the various commercial, industrial, and agricultural self-governing societies established by the Nazis, which were mixed with a large number of Freemasons, and the Nazi Party would never allow a group of cross-cutting nature to wander outside their political and economic systems. Not to mention the fact that the group is not controlled by the government, but also maintains close ties abroad, has anti-Nazi tendencies at the top, and has a large number of Jews among its members.

Such an organization, of course, would be regarded as reactionary and rotten by the Nazi Party, and even if some of its members did not turn to the Nazis, Hitler would not tolerate its continued existence under his nose.

German Freemasonry was torn to shreds by the Nazi government in a few weeks, and what happened inside Germany alerted the British and French Freemasons, who had already run over the Polish border by the time they remembered to do something for their brothers in the German branch.

The rapid demise of Freemasonry in Germany left behind a vast political and economic legacy, most of which was divided among the Nazi henchmen, but the intangible legacies remained: the commercial networks and markets established by Freemasonry, as well as the various economic, political and cultural archives kept by its members.

As a result, the Illuminati in the United States were ready to take advantage of the situation, wanting to take over the territory left by the German Freemasons and loot these important legacies that had not yet been discovered by the Nazis. With this in mind, Kuhnberg returned to his hometown after nearly twenty years of absence, and he soon became involved with the local Illuminati members, who gained a new legal status through their connections.

But then he realized that the German Illuminati seemed to have completely different intentions from the American Illuminati, and that they did not want to touch the legacy of the Freemasons, because such an act would require a great deal of risk, and the benefits would not be as great as the American Illuminati had imagined.

The Nazi Party's General Security Bureau was not a bunch of fools, how could they not see the value of the Masonic heritage, so it was more likely that this was a deliberate bait left by the Nazis, waiting for the greedy big fish to take the bait.

The German Illuminati were not as naïve as Freemasons, they admired the philosophy of the superman, worshipped strongman totalitarianism, and in some respects shared the ideals of the Nazi Party. They had previously sent a few peripheral members to infiltrate the Nazi Party, only to become loyal Nazi followers, and their worship of the Führer soon outweighed their obedience to the Order, and this was the situation faced by the German Illuminati, who faced a formidable opponent who was simply unmatched.

The German Illuminati leadership was not prepared to cooperate with the Nazis, and the fate of the Freemasons was a lesson from the past, and they saw it as an impossible task to change the current political situation in Germany from within, so they had to rely on external forces to overthrow Nazi rule.

A war to destroy Nazi Germany was the quickest and most effective way, but at that time, it seemed that the Nazi madmen who wanted to fight the most in the countries of Europe.

After Hitler's occupation of Poland, the Illuminati and Freemasonry in Europe quickly converged, and they had a premonition that a great crisis had loomed over Europe, and that Germany and the Soviet Union had formed an alliance, which was the worst nightmare for these associations.

From that time on, Kuhnberg became the head of an unofficial intelligence group, composed entirely of civilians, whose job was to gather military and political intelligence in Germany, to liaise with anti-Nazi organizations and personnel in Germany, and to provide them with the funds and weapons they needed for their activities.

Kuhnberg doesn't know the background of this group, but it is nothing more than a few intelligence agencies of the US government, the FBI or the Army, and possibly the Cabinet and the State Department.

Since none of the members have a government background, even if they are arrested, they will not be involved in the government department, and the government can put all the blame on the Freemasons, and it is not news that the Illuminati members have Freemasonry status at the same time.

The Freemasons of America are at a historic low point, the economic crisis and the Great Depression have caused them to lose a large number of members, and this once powerful organization has weakened to the extreme, leaving behind a pile of bad reputations accumulated during the boom years, which is too good to be used as a shield.

The Kuhnberg intelligence team did not start out well in Germany, losing two people in the process. At that time, the atmosphere of counterintelligence in Germany was very strong, and any stranger who looked suspicious would soon be questioned by the neighborhood police, and if they did not come up with a convincing answer, the fate of these people would be very pitiful.

Just when Kuhnberg was at a loss for the job at hand, a mysterious man suddenly came to the door, because it was the German Illuminati who was involved, so Kuhnberg personally received the man.

PS: There is only one chapter today, thank you all for your support.

The post about women's clothing in the book review area was originally a joke, everyone can make a fuss, pay attention to the measure, and don't hurt the self-esteem of others.

Thank you.
