Ernst Nolte

Ernst Nolte (* 11. January 1923 in jokes) is a German historian.

Suddenly the Gymnasiallehrer Nolte attained a doctorate became with its book fascism in its epoch (1963) admits and became a late professor for newer history at the free University of Berlin.In this book it defined fascism on basis of its self expressions (a method, which calls Nolte phenomenologically) as “anti-marxism, which trachtet to destroy the opponent by the training of a radically opposite and nevertheless neighbouring ideology and the use from almost identical and nevertheless characteristically umgeprägten methods to,always however in the undurchbrechbaren context of national self statement and autonomy ". When substantial characteristics of fascism become therefore anti marxism, anti liberalism, nationalism, force and propaganda designation, whereby it is noticeable that racingism or Antisemitismus was not counted in addition. Nolte does not only seize with this definitionthe German national socialism and Italian fascism Mussolinis, but also the “Action française “, a right-wing extremist French movement, together. Thus he was the first civil historian, who used the fascism term, which became related from Marxists only before.

With an article for the Frankfurt ones General newspaper (FAZ) of 6. June 1986 released Nolte the historian controversy in such a way specified . To the text lay thoughts on reason, which it already to 24. July 1980 in an article of the FAZ had expressed. The scientist stated therein, the archipelago Gulag had “the logical andactual Prius " before Auschwitz, i.e., “the race murder” of the national socialists developed only from fear of the older “class murder” the Bolschewisten. The mass murder at the Jew, who was already not counted in its older theses for the nature core of fascism, is only a “exceeding reaction”on the Gräuel of the October Revolution and has thereby a “rational core”. This it thesis, which - against Noltes intentions - which to singularness (singularity) the Shoa in question seemed to place, extended for the statement of a “European civil war”, which had raved from 1917 to 1945.Nolte moves here fascism and communism quite closely together, why its theses on a variant of the Totalitarismusthese, if to historical revisionism does not even seem to come down. Also it stylized the boycott of German goods started from Jewish side as reaction to anti-Semitic excesses abroad and thosePublication of a “declaration of war” for an alleged financial and economic war in the DAILY express of 24. March 1933 as well as the loyalty stating Chaim Weizmanns of 1939 for Great Britain for the declaration of war of the Jews to the German Reich and tried in such a way, the Jew pursuit of the LV regime escalating with beginning of war asTo justify “counter measure”. After 2003/04 of the CDU - Member of the Bundestag Martin high man because of its as anti-Semitic regarded speech for the day of the German unit excluded from a party and parliamentary group was, defined Nolte high man to the courageous and respectable Streiter for freedom of conscience and opinion.
