HOW DID HITLER MANIPULATE NIETZSCHE?

The video explores how Adolf Hitler and the Nazi regime manipulated the philosophy of Friedrich Nietzsche to justify their ideologies. Despite the lack of evidence that Hitler ever read Nietzsche's works, the Nazis used his concepts, particularly "The Will to Power," as a foundation for their propaganda. Nietzsche, a radical thinker and fierce critic of Christianity, was not aligned with Nazi values. In fact, his disdain for authoritarianism and nationalism directly contradicted their agenda.

However, the philosopher’s ideas were heavily distorted by his sister, Elisabeth Förster-Nietzsche. After Nietzsche’s death, Elisabeth curated and edited his unpublished writings, compiling the book The Will to Power, which the Nazis later adopted as ideological fuel. She shared anti-Semitic beliefs and sought to align Nietzsche’s legacy with her own far-right views, inviting Hitler into the narrative by staging events like their meeting in Weimar.

The Nazis exploited Nietzsche's rejection of Judeo-Christian values and twisted his philosophy into a weapon for their racial and imperial ambitions, turning a profound thinker into a false prophet of their regime. This video unravels the truth behind this historical distortion.
