Cult Of Hitler Flourishes In Asia

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


 

The cult of Hitler is very popular among young Indonesians today. Many young men and women wear Nazi symbols, images of Hitler, SS runes and swastikas on belts, caps and T-shirts. “Mein Kampf” is easy to buy at bookstores in the city of Yogyakarta. Much the same is happening in other countries of Asia.

This can be partly explained by the fact that young people are very far from the Holocaust, says German portal taz.de. The website published an article on the subject titled “Islands of the Fuhrer.”

Three German teachers, who work at the State University of Yogyakarta, came across the cult of Hitler at the university. They decided to hold a seminar in the Indonesian language on the history of nationalist socialism. On November 2, about 150 students filled the auditorium. A 19-year-old girl said that “Hitler was a powerful and determined man.” Speaking of the Führer, she used the word ‘beliau’ – an expression of reverence and piety. The Indonesian female said that she had general knowledge about the atrocious crimes committed by Adolf Hitler, but added that she “did not know the details.”

Associate Professor Svenja Völkert explains the “gaps” in the historical consciousness of young Indonesians with the fact that the German language is the second foreign language that Indonesian students study. “Many of our 450 students choose German as a foreign language to study not because they want to study it, but because the groups that study other languages ​​are already full,” said the teacher. At the seminar, German teachers briefly tell of the Weimar Republic, the global economic crisis and the Holocaust, demonstrating video materials from those years.

“Oh, God!” – exclaimed a female student, covering her face with a notebook not to see piles of corpses and gas chambers. “Now I understand why the Germans are so sensitive when it comes to these symbols,” the student said. She would like to know more. “Later, we will teach the German language. If we do not have this knowledge, what do we have to do then?” she asks.

Hitler’s personal standard

The first comment under the article is posted by a person under the name Toro. The man wrote that he was an Indonesian who lives there permanently. He fully agreed with what was said in the article. “A lot of people like Hitler, but they do not know exactly who he was,” Toro wrote. Another blogger under the moniker Ann wrote: “Where does the worship comes from? They are Muslims. A.H. persecuted Jews, didn’t he?”

Another point of view was expressed by the reader, hiding under the name @André: “I heard something like that about 10-15 years ago in the U.S.. Some people out there still think that he was a little man with little mustache and with hands trembling of drugs, and that his system lives on.”

Blogger Otto von Bismarck left a curious post. Commenting on the part of the article that says that Hitler’s “Mein Kampf” is freely available in the Indonesian language, he wrote: “It is available in Germany in German too, although they often claim the opposite.”

As noted in the article in the online newspaper Das Parlament, the cult of Hitler is widely spread in Muslim Indonesia not because of anti-Semitism. The Koran does not teach to hate the Jews. It became clear from conversations with students, both from public and private Muslim and Catholic universities, that such views were not common among the majority of students. Most likely, it is the fashion for the elegant aesthetics of the Third Reich.

Not so long ago the Western media cracked down on fashion house Hugo Boss, for designing uniforms for SS. In the Soviet Union, especially during the 1970s, after watching TV series “Seventeen Moments of Spring,” the youngsters admired the perfect-fitting suits. The Third Reich knew a lot about style.

Many people around the world are aware of Hitler’s crimes, but they still admire him despite everything. The reason is the same as in the case of Che Guevara. Hitler was a revolutionary. If someone finds it strange to know, they should read the two-volume biography of Hitler by German historian Joachim Fest.

An Indonesian student said that the “revolutionary thinking” of Hitler was reflected in the uprising against the rule of the United States. A non-Muslim teacher expressed his positive perception of the Nazi era, particularly admiring the Wehrmacht and SS troops, because such qualities as self-discipline, determination, loyalty and trust were predominant there. One man managed to turn Germany into an invincible war machine in a very short time.

Although this anonymous teacher does not deny the heinous war crimes and the Holocaust, he also refers to the fact that Stalin also killed “many” people. In conclusion, the author of the article in Das Parlament said “that the interest in Nazi symbolism in Indonesia does not necessarily mean either ideological similarities with Indonesian dictators or religious fundamentalism.”

      I hear there’s a new club starting up.

      It’s called the “Gay Nazis For Christ”

      • yes2truth

        No need, mainstream Christianity is full of dykes and poofters. LOL

        I would also check out what Hitler did to the nancy boy brown shirts. Not a pretty sight by all accounts.

        No way, Hitler was a hero to the German people and he restored them financially freeing them from the Rothschild usury enslavement. Unlike the ignorant plebs in Britain and the USA.

        Replace Stalin with Obama and yes I would then totally agree.

      I live in Indonesia just 4 hours down the road from Jojokerto and I can tell you that despite being exposed to the young people here on a regular basis at public events who ride custom scooters and consider themselves rebels and tear aways , I see very little Nazi symbolism on them or their bikes, sure you get the odd Maltese cross mudguard or swastika usually painted the right way round because it is an ancient Sanskrit symbol in the first place and goes back to the ancient Hindu Majapahit Kingdom anyway so no big deal there, And if it is more prevalent in Jojokerto I think it has more to do with wanting to be rebels and radical in youth like a lot of us were in our late teens, as someone pointed out they are just as capable of using other symbols that they have no idea of the origins of but the Nazi’s have the best designs so they get the thumbs up from these Naive kids, Kids have been using these symbols for decades all over the world because they look cool not because they want to become Nazis, It is only in adulthood that we realize the implications and impact of such powerful symbols and would think twice about identifying with them, storm in a tea cup really , And I hope it’s not written as the start of a demoniization campaign against the largely wonderful youth of Indonesia.

      “Although this anonymous teacher does not deny the heinous war crimes and the Holocaust.”

      That’s a shame, someone should educate him about the Holohoax and Hitler’s mythical war crimes.

      For war crimes look no further than the Jews Churchill, Roosevelt Eisenhower and Stalin the latter being the biggest butcher and criminal of all time.

    • Wretched Infidel

      What do you expect from Muslims though; historically, they always supported and agreed with him, in their hatred they still hold for everybody.

      Everybody – even their own – women, little girls, little boys, men and animals. Even their own, just learn what is happening at their hands in their own and in our lands. Its not only us they hate and want to destroy, for real Muslims, they must (for the quran demands it of them) obey Allhaha and emulate the murdering child rapist Hohamhead.

    • Wretched Infidel

      So they would naturally gravitate and identify with a monster such as murdered innocents and tortured children; it is the nature of the beast, the beast Hitler harboured and the same which is being harboured and nurtured by billions of brainwashed murdering hate zombies from the ‘Religion of Peace!’

        If you are a Jew or a Jew stooge, I understand the work you are doing. If you are an Aryan American you are
        part of the 90% living dead, for whom the FEMA coffins have been ordered. For the Jew
        wants people who do not believe him and whom he continually has to force, coerce
        and blackmail to pretend they believe. Those, who have lost their brains and have totally submitted (as you seem to have done) are as uninteresting to the Jew as wives are to some men after 30 years of marriage or, not infrequently these days, the other way round.
