Chapter 167 Organization (1)
The German Nazi Party itself has the color of a secret society. Many of their internal activities are like some kind of religious ritual. Hitler has always believed in the existence of mysterious powers. At the same time, he is also a conspiracy theorist and is very sensitive to other secret societies with religious colors.
The Masonic was positioned as a political organization by the Nazis, which was not a crime. The German Masonic indeed infiltrated the Weimar government and intervened in many social and political activities at that time.
During the process of Hitler's Nazi Party seizing power, the German Masonics split into two factions. So when the Nazis came to power, the Masonic members who opposed the Nazi Party were purged, and most of these people were of Jewish descent. The Nazi Party obtained a list of most members of the German Masonic members through members who supported the Nazi philosophy. Masonic members who had no time to flee the country were arrested by the General Security Bureau and were immediately sent to major concentration camps in Germany, with a red triangle label of political prisoners sewn on their chests.
The German Freemasonry suffered a devastating blow at the hands of the Nazis. Only a few people were lucky enough to survive until the end of the war. The only reason why these people were not killed was the Germanic bloodline they had. The arrested Jewish members had much miserable ends. They could not even get the label of political prisoners, and could only sew the yellow hexagonal star representing their national bloodline on their chests. At the end of the war, these people almost did not have one ten.
Germany is one of the birthplaces of the Freemasonry. It is rumored that when Frederick the Great served as the president of the German Freemasonry when he was the crown prince of Prussia, he even won the highest position of master. For a long time, the German Freemasonry had always preserved the true nature of religious association. Although he also intervened in political affairs, his main energy was still focused on exchanges in the economic and cultural fields, because he pursued too much mystery and had little influence on German society.
In the historical activities of the German church and city-states against the ideological imprisonment and religious oppression of the Roman Catholic Church, the German Freemasons played the role of communicating and organizing civilians, but by the 20th century, this organization had long been separated from the lower class of social people.
So this is not the mysterious group that calls for the wind and rain to control the world in later generations. To put it bluntly, it is actually a community organization similar to high-level clubs and industrial trade unions. The system and structure are not as strict as people imagine. Otherwise, how could it be so easily caught by the Nazi Party? In history, European Freemasonry organizations have been repeatedly banned, and every time the senior management is taken away by the whole house, and their survival ability is not as good as those underground cult organizations.
The establishment of the Freemasonry itself was to fight against the Roman Catholic Church. The original purpose was to preserve the knowledge left by predecessors in the environment of religious oppression, explore new knowledge and culture, and strive for ideological liberation and freedom. Most of the members were Protestants or Christian reformists, which was the so-called heresy of the Romans at that time.
This organization was once advanced and revolutionary, and played an important role in the European Enlightenment. At that time, many pioneers of thought and famous scientists in Europe were once members of the Freemasons, and the noble members of the Freemasons could provide protection for these people to avoid persecution by the Catholic Church.
Hitler was very hostile to the Freemasons because an organization that was not controlled by Nazis would inevitably cause damage to the new national order he established, such as the various commercial, industrial, and agricultural autonomy established by the Nazis, which were mixed with a large number of Freemasons. The Nazi Party would never allow a group with a cross-domain nature to wander outside their political and economic systems. Not to mention that this organization is not only not controlled by the government, but also maintains close ties with overseas countries. The top leaders have anti-Nazi tendencies, and there are also a large number of Jews in their internal members.
Such an organization will of course be regarded as reactionary and corrupt by the Nazi Party. Even if some members do not turn to the Nazis, Hitler will not tolerate it continuing to exist under his nose.
The German Masonics were torn to pieces by the Nazi government within a few weeks, and what happened in Germany attracted the alertness of the British and French Masonics, and when they remembered what to do for their brothers in the German branch, Nazi German tanks had already run over the Polish border.
The rapid demise of the German Masonic community left behind a large amount of political and economic heritage, most of which were divided by Nazi parties, but those intangible heritages were still preserved, namely the trade networks and markets established by the Masonic community, as well as various economic, political and cultural archives preserved by members.
So the Illuminati of the United States was ready to take advantage of the situation and want to take over the territory left by the German Freemasons and plunder these important legacies that had not been discovered by the Nazis. It was with this purpose that Kuhnberg returned to his hometown, which had been away for nearly twenty years. He soon joined the local Illuminati members and obtained a new legal identity through the help of the other party's relationship.
But then he realized that the German Illuminati seemed to have completely different plans from the American Illuminati. They did not want to touch the legacy of the Freemasons, because this behavior required great risks and the benefits obtained were not as large as the American branch imagined.
The Nazi Party’s Security Bureau was not a group of fools. How could they not see the value of Masonic heritage? So it was more likely that the bait left by the Nazis deliberately, waiting for the greedy big fish to take the bait.
The German Illuminati are not as naive as the Freemason. They advocate superhuman philosophy and worship strongman centralized politics. In some ways, they have the same ideas as the Nazi Party. They have sent several peripheral members to infiltrate the Nazi Party before, but these people became loyal Nazi Party members, and their worship of the head of state quickly exceeded their obedience to the organization. This is the situation faced by the German Illuminati, and they encountered a terrible opponent who was simply unable to compete with.
The senior leaders of the German Illuminati were not prepared to cooperate with the Nazis. The fate of the Freemason was a lesson learned. In their opinion, it was impossible to change the current political situation in Germany from the inside, so they could only rely on external forces to overthrow the Nazi rule.
A war to destroy Nazi Germany was the fastest and most effective way, but according to the situation at that time, it was the group of Nazi madmen who wanted to fight the most among European countries.
After Hitler occupied Poland, the Illuminati and Freemasons in Europe quickly merged. They had a feeling that a huge crisis had already enveloped Europe and that Germany and the Soviet Union had formed an alliance. This was simply the most feared nightmare of these associations.
Since then, Kuhnberg has become the head of an unofficial intelligence team, all of whom are civilians. Their job is to collect military and political intelligence from Germany, contact anti-Nazi organizations and personnel in Germany, and provide them with the funds and weapons needed for their activities.
Kuhnberg is not clear about the background of the group, but it is nothing more than several intelligence agencies of the US government, the FBI or the Army, or the Cabinet and the State Department. Anyway, there are only a few units that have this need.
Because all members do not have a government background, even if they are arrested, they will not involve government departments. The government can put all the blame on the Masonic. These days, members of the Illuminati have Masonic status and are not news at all.
The American Freemasons are in a historical low. The economic crisis and the Great Depression have caused them to lose a large number of members. This once-strong organization has weakened to the extreme, leaving only a bunch of bad reputations accumulated in the prosperous era. It is really suitable to be used as a shield.
The Kuhnberg intelligence team's activities in Germany were not very smooth at the beginning, and they accidentally lost two people during this period. At that time, the atmosphere of counter-espionage in Germany was very strong. Any stranger who seemed suspicious would soon be interrogated by the neighborhood police. If there was no convincing answer, the fate of these people would become very pitiful.
Just when Kuhnberg felt at a loss about the work at hand, a mysterious man suddenly came to the door. Because the German Illuminati was the one who was in charge, Kuhnberg personally received the man.
