1927 Erich Ludendorff with the Völkisch Front

[ingoffm]

I would like to give you the hint, that this scenes are from the 30th September 1923, when the memorial for the death soldiers of "Bund Oberland" in the town Schliersee was made public. So the year 1927 is wrong!!! More - with some photos from the same scenes - in german language in my blogpost "Das Oberlanddenkmal in Schliersee und seine Einweihung am 30. September 1923".

Ludendorff was NOT a racist and he was NO antisemite. If you read his books you should realize he NEVER put German race over any other race and he attacked jewish religion AND catholic and protestant (and almost every other) RELIGION for cheating people but he never fought against other people Jews or not as individuals. He fought Jewish and Christian religion because he felt they enslaved people. In fact he protested when the Nazis started to fight Jews and Communists.

@MrAlGator Sounds like a typical dipshit turncoat to me.

Chwała Bohaterom !

Make no mistake, Ludendorff was as racist and antisemite as other german in this period.

The only reason he disliked Hitler is because he realised Hitler was a politician like all others and not a reactionary military monarchists.

Hitler was trying to win the election, thus consulting with most powerful german industrialists and businessmen (which the reactionary despised) and Hitler also respected the lowest germans, like the workers (which the monarchists also found disgusting and "socialist

@TemplarJustice

Whata fuck. Not all germans were racist. Many ww1 soldiers disliked the way Hitler treated the jewish war veterans.

Honour and loyalty. For example you don"t believe that president Hindenburg was an anti-semite, do you.

Perhaps his greatest quotation and prediction:

"By appointing Hitler Chancellor of the Reich, you have handed over our sacred German Fatherland to one of the greatest demagogues of all time. I prophesy to you this evil man will plunge our Reich into the abyss and will inflict immeasurable woe on our nation. Future generations will curse you in your grave for this action."

To Hindenburg after he appointed Hitler Chancellor.

"Sie haben durch die Ernennung Hitlers zum Reichskanzler unser heiliges deutsches Vaterland einem der größten Demagogen aller Zeiten ausgeliefert. Ich prophezeie Ihnen feierlich, dass dieser unselige Mann unser Reich in den Abgrund stürzen und unsere Nation in unfassbares Elend bringen wird. Kommende Geschlechter werden Sie wegen dieser Handlung in Ihrem Grab verfluchen."

- Ludendorff, nach der Ernennung Hitlers zum Reichskanzler an Reichspräsident Hindenburg

"The Romans fought like a leon" - Erich Ludendorff General German man in World War!

[doktorsawade]

Your biography states: "After the war, he briefly supported Adolf Hitler and the Nazi Party", only to state later: "In 1924, he was elected to the Reichstag as a representative of the NSFB (a coalition of the German Völkisch Freedom Party and members of the Nazi Party), serving until 1928"... as long as the first world war!

Does anyone know where this memorial is located? Thanks

[mathis1980]

I do not know exactly, but it is surely in Bavaria (at 0:11 a typical bavarian dress is shown) for fallen soldiers of WW I.

It must be between 1923 and 1928.

[doktorsawade]

Would certainly not exist anymore

hallo, wenn lundendorf allgemeinen nahm an den Wahlen im Gegensatz zu hinenburg und ihre Kosten zu verstehen, ist wie folgt lauten: Feldmarschall Oberbefehlshaber Generalmajor Erich von Lundendorf

[MrAlGator]

Hi, several infos are wrong:

Ludendorff was not a Generalfeldmarschall, he was a General. And name was Ludendorff not von Ludendorff. Ludendorff did also NOT run against Hindenburg in the 1925 election. After first election 1925 none of the men running for President had enough votes and there was a SECOND election for Reichspräsident in 1925: Hindeburg replaced Ludendorff and won. Ludendorff approved and SUPPORTED Hindenburg.

[skoblinI]

Hello Gator. The appellation of 'Generalfeldmarschall' was on the original video - same with the 'von' Ludendorff. So the error lay with the original makers of the newsreel clip.

[VintageJunior]

@skoblinI I think the video title also doesn't make sense. There was no organization called "Völkische Front", at least I can't find anything about such a movement.

@MrAlGator Hi,Ludendorff was promoted Generalfeldmarschall from Hitler on the occasion of his 70.birthday in 1935.

[MrAlGator]

@giangiuk: No. Hitler WANTED to promote Ludendorff GeneralFeldmarschall but Ludendorff REFUSED. He also asked Hitler NOT to visit him on his birthday, only reps of the Army and Blomberg were allowed. Ludendorff said: you become Feldmarschall on the Battlefield not as a birthday present because a politician decides so.
