The 1848 Revolution
What did the NSDAP, especially its ideological gurus and the general leadership, think of the German Revolution of 1848? Did they condemn it?

Re: The 1848 Revolution
There's bit in Mein Kampf when Hitler puts down the red/gold/black banner of this movement. Possibly more because Weimar identified with it than because of the contemporaneous ideology- it was, at heart a pan-Germanic monarchist friendly movement. There wasn't really a coherent 'revolution'. Just a lot of pressure from groups, both elite and common pushing agendas. A lot of Germans ended up in the US during this time as instability was rife.
