Hitler poem

[Vance Pollock]

Can anyone vouch for the authenticity of this poem, supposedly written by Hitler in 1915. Does the original document exist? Is this the entire poem? Were there "doodles" accompanying it?

„Ich gehe manchmal in rauhen Nächten
Zur Wotanseiche in den stillen Hain,
Mit dunklen Mächten einen Bund zu flechten -
Die Runen zaubert mir der Mondenschein.

Und alle, die am Tage sich erfrechten,
Sie werden vor der Zauberformel klein!
Sie ziehen blank – doch statt den Strauß zu flechten,
Erstarren sie zu Stalagmitgestein.

So scheiden sich die Falschen von den Echten -
Ich greife in das Fibelnest hinein
Und gebe dann den Guten und Gerechten
Mit meiner Formel Segen und Gedeihn.“

I actually don't know, but is has the pathetic style of Hitler...

I haven't seen, or even known of, enough poetry by Hitler to realize he even had a poetic style. Can you point me toward any authentic Hitler poetry?

I should have included this citation and translation in the original post. This is where the poem first came to my attention. I never could find a reference in the Toland volume to where he found this:

This appears on page 64 of John Toland’s “Adolf Hitler” (Wordsworth Editions Limited, Chatham, Kent, UK, 1997 edition of original 1976 edition). Toland indicates Hitler probably wrote this poem in the autumn of 1915 (prior to his blinding by gas on 14 October 1918). Toland notes: “Perhaps it was the season of perception. That fall on a night made gray-white with hoarfrost he may have felt the sense of his destiny when he wrote this strange poem:"

I often go on bitter nights
To Wotan’s oak in the quiet glade
With dark powers to weave a union—
The runic letters the moon makes with its magic spell
And all who are full of impudence during the day
Are made small by the magic formula!
They draw shining steel—but instead of going into combat
They solidify into stalagmites.
So the false ones part from the real ones—
I reach into a nest of words
And then give to the good and just
With my formula blessings and prosperity.

If he were to write that poem today, I would of thought he was some nerd who played too much dungeons and dragons.

what's wrong with dungeons and dragons?

AgentBach= LOL
That sure sounds like a poem Hitler would write. It's sooo overdramatic that I was laughing when reading it.

It's not bad. 'Though one can sense the egoism.
