One of the more influential philosophers in Nazi Germany, Baeumler was a leading interpreter of Friedrich Nietzsche's philosophy as legitimizing Nazism — an ideologically motivated misinterpretation repudiated by post-war scholarship (German-American scholar Walter Kaufmann characterizes Baeumler as "one of the worst Nazi hacks" (see Basic Writings of Nietzsche, New York: The Modern Library, 2000, p. Nazi Germany and the Third Reich are the common English names for Germany under the regime of Adolf Hitler and the National Socialist German Workers Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche (October 15 1844 August 25 1900 ( was a nineteenth-century German philosopher and classical philologist Walter Arnold Kaufmann ( July 1, 1921 Freiburg Germany - September 4, 1980 Princeton New Jersey) was a German-American 604, n. 2)). Thomas Mann is known to have read Baeumler's work on Nietzsche in the early 1930s, and to have characterized passages of it as "Hitler prophecy" (see Thomas Mann und Alfred Baeumler, Würzburg: Königshausen & Neumann, 1989, p. Paul Thomas Mann ( June 185). The 1931 book Nietzsche, der Philosoph und Politiker, for example, states:
A theory of the state is not to be found in Nietzsche's work - but this work has opened all paths towards a new theory of the state. . . . His attack on the "Empire" arises from the feeling of a world-historical task that awaits us. He wanted to hear nothing of the state as a moral organism in Hegel's sense, he also wanted to hear nothing of Bismarck's Christian Lesser Germany ("Kleindeutschland"). Before his eyes stood the task of our race: the task of being leader ("Führer") of Europe. . . . What would Europe be without the Germanic North? What would Europe be without Germany? A Roman colony. . . . Germany can only exist world-historically in the form of greatness. It has the choice to exist as the anti-Roman power of Europe, or not to exist. . . . The German state of the future will not be a continuation of the Bismarck's creation, but will be created out of the spirit of Nietzsche and the spirit of the Great War (from pp. 180-183. Italics in the original).
Such assertions have no credible foundation in Nietzsche's writings. In his lectures on Nietzsche, published post-war, Martin Heidegger nonetheless maintained his praise of "Baeumler's judicious reading" of Nietzsche.
