Foot Notes:
1) In order to understand the reference here, and similar references in later portions of Mein Kampf,the following must be borne in mind:From 1792 to 1814 the French Revolutionary Armies overran Germany. In 1800 Bavaria shared in theAustrian defeat at Hohenlinden and the French occupied Munich. In 1805 the Bavarian Elector wasmade King of Bavaria by Napoleon and stipulated to back up Napoleon in all his wars with a force of 30,000 men. Thus Bavaria became the absolute vassal of the French. This was The Time of Germanys Deepest Humiliation, Which is referred to again and again by Hitler.In 1806 a pamphlet entitled Germanys Deepest Humiliationwas published in South Germany.Amnng those who helped to circulate the pamphlet was the Nürnberg bookseller, Johannes PhilippPalm. He was denounced to the French by a Bavarian police agent. At his trial he refused to disclosethe name of the author. By Napoleons orders, he was shot at Braunau-on-the-Inn on August 26th,1806. A monument erected to him on the site of the execution was one of the first public objects thatmade an impression on Hitler as a little boy.Leo Schlageters case was in many respects parallel to that of Johannes Palm. Schlageter was aGerman theological student who volunteered for service in 1914. He became an artillery officer andwon the Iron Cross of both classes. When the French occupied the Ruhr in 1923 Schlageter helped toorganize the passive resistance on the German side. He and his companions blew up a railway bridgefor the purpose of making the transport of coal to France more difficult.Those who took part in the affair were denounced to the French by a German informer. Schlagetertook the whole responsibility on his own shoulders and was condemned to death, his companionsbeing sentenced to various terms of imprisonment and penal servitude by the French Court. Schlageterrefused to disclose the identity of those who issued the order to blow up the railway bridge and hewould not plead for mercy before a French Court. He was shot by a French firing-squad on May 26th,1923. Severing was at that time German Minister of the Interior. It is said that representations weremade, to him on Schlageters behalf and that he refused to interfere.Schlageter has become the chief martyr of the German resistancc to the French occupation of the Ruhrand also one of the great heroes of the National Socialist Movement. He had joined the Movement at avery early stage, his card of membership bearing the number 61.2) Non-classical secondary school. The Lyceum and Gymnasium were classical or semiclassicalsecondary schools.3) See Translators Introduction.4) When Francis II had laid down his title as Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire of the GermanNation, which he did at the command of Napoleon, the Crown and Mace, as the Imperial Insignia,
