National Socialist, it gets abbreviated as Nazi, National Socialist Party, Nazi Party. In 1923, Hitler tries to begin an overthrow of the government, but his putsch, his coup is unsuccessful, and he is imprisoned. And it is while in prison that he writes down his belief system that eventually gets published upon his release in 1925 under the title Mein Kampf, which can be translated as My Struggle, or My Battle. This is just an excerpt from Mein Kampf. If we pass all the causes of the German collapse in review, the ultimate and most decisive remains the failure to recognize the racial problem, and especially the Jewish menace. The defeats on the battlefield in August 1918, so he's referring to the end of World War I, would have been child's play to bear. They stood in no proportion to the victories of our people.
