Werner Naumann joined the NSDAP in
1928 at the age of nineteen. He quickly became a trusted lieutenant of the
Party’s most brilliant propagandists, Dr. Joseph Goebbels. At first Goebbels
sent him abroad on various journalistic assignments, which he dutifully carried
out with great skill. Then in1937 he was appointed head of the Propaganda
Minister’s personal office, and seven years later he was promoted to State
Secretary of the Ministry. In this capacity he served as Goebbels’ right hand
man and his most valued advisor and personal deputy. Handsome, charming and
brilliant, Naumann was respected and well-liked by the other leaders of the
National Socialist government. During the war he served in the Waffen SS on the
French, Greek and Russian fronts. For his bravery in combat, he was promoted to
SS-Sturmbahnführer.
Being Goebbels’ deputy granted him
the supreme privilege of personal contact with the Führer. Hitler was fond of
Naumann and considered him to be one of the best representatives of the
National Socialist regime. In turn, Naumann was devoted to the Führer and
remained by his side until the very end in the Berlin bunker.
In his Political Testament of
April 1945, the Führer named Naumann to be Goebbels’ successor in the new
National Socialist government headed by Grand Admiral Dönitz. Naumann remained
in the bunker until the last minute. He was the last person to talk to Goebbels
and his wife before they committed suicide on May 1, 1945. About an hour later,
Naumann left the bunker accompanied by Hitler’s Deputy Martin Bormann and the
Youth Leader Artur Axmann.
Naumann was captured by the Russians
and sent to a POW camp in the Soviet occupation zone. The Russians guarding him
had no idea that he was Goebbels’ deputy. Therefore, he was not treated like a
wanted „war criminal“ or even interrogated. In the spring of 1946, he managed
to escape from Eastern Germany and out of the hands of the bloodthirsty
Bolsheviks. He lived in Tübingen for a short time, working as a farm hand. Then
he took a job as a bricklayer in Frankfurt.
In 1950 Naumann moved to Düsseldorf,
where he worked for an import-export firm owned by an old party comrade. He carried
out his daily duties in his usual efficient manner, but he never gave up hopes
of resuming his National Socialist career. Then glorious images of Hitler,
Goebbels and the halcyon years of the Third Reich were etched in his memory. He
had always been a fanatical National Socialist and a devoted follower of the
Führer, whom he looked upon as a God-like figure. He was determined to remain
faithful to his dead comrades and never to betray their exalted memories, like
so many others were doing. He looked on in horrified disbelief as his
fatherland was occupied by a horde of uniformed Bolsheviks, mongrels, Indians,
Jews, niggers and other assorted filth. He vowed to do everything in his power
to liberate his country from the dark forces of international Jewry
During his years as Goebbels’
secretary, Naumann had traveled all over the Reich. He knew almost every major
(and minor) personality in the National Socialist government. Most of them
respected and trusted him as a man of integrity. Now a few of these old
fighters looked upon him as their new Führer. A small group of these die-hards
met secretly with Naumann at a clandestine gathering in Düsseldorf and urged
him to become the leader of the second generation of National Socialists.
Naumann did not hesitate for long. He agreed to take on the responsibilities of
leadership.
During the next two years Naumann
traveled all over West Germany in a fever of secret political activity. He met
with dozens of old party comrades and former SS members. He went to Italy, France
and Belgium to forge ties with clandestine National Socialist and Fascist
groups. Sir Oswald Mosley invited him to his home in Paris to meet with
important NS leaders from several different countries. After hearing him speak,
all of the foreigners were convinced that if a National Socialist renaissance
was to take place in Germany, Werner Naumann was the man to lead it.
Important German Nazis such as the
great tank commander Heinz Guderian and the former Minister of Economics
Hjalmar Schacht rallied behind Naumann. Former Youth Leader Artur Axmann and
leading propagandist Hans Fritsche gave their support to Naumann as well. His
circle of friends and supporters was growing larger everyday. By the end of
1950 the circle had become a vast network of National Socialist revolutionaries
that stretched all across Germany.
Naumann’s master plan was to create
a cadre of dedicated and fanatical Nazis who would infiltrate the existing „democratic“
political parties, maneuvering their way into positions of power and influence
until they were strong enough to take over and reveal themselves. Naumann’s
first target for Nazification was the Free Democratic Party (FPD). Two
prominent members of this party, Ernst Achenbach and Wolfgang Diewerge, were
fanatical Nazis and secret supporters of Naumann. They began to feed him
important, high-level information about the FDP and to maneuver their NS
comrades into positions of authority.
Another plan that Neumann and his
friends put into action was the Nazi infiltration of certain civic
organizations, veterans’ clubs and special interest groups. Naumann was
convinced that if the Nazis were ever going to regain their lost power and
liberate the fatherland, they would have to do it through stealth and guile. To
this end, he always urged his supporters to restrain themselves and wait until
the seeds were planted, cultivated and ready to harvest before making any overt
moves. Naumann was a patient and cautious man by nature - the perfect type of
man to lead a clandestine revolutionary movement. He told one bull-headed
follower who refused to keep his mouth shut: „It is dangerous to tell the
world that though they may think we are dead, we actually are already here
again. Next time, let us proceed more skillfully, and then I shall be only too
pleased to assist you.“
At the end of 1951 Naumann organized
the famous circle of friends and comrades that became known as the „Gauleiterkreis“.
Every Wednesday evening of every month this group would hold secret meetings in
one or another Düsseldorf hotel. The members included former Gauleiters Karl
Florian, Hosef Grohe, Paul Wegener and Karl Kauffmann; SS-Major Paul
Zimmermann; former Minister of Culture Dr. Gustav Scheel, and several other
important Third Reich personalities. One of them, Heidrich Haselmayer, was an
old fighter who had participated in Hitler’s Munich Putsch of 1923.
At these secret meetings of the „neo-Nazi
elite“, Naumann outlined his plans for the future. He told those assembled that
a premature attempt to seize power would be suicidal, He was ardently opposed
to violence of any kind and believed that its use would be completely
self-defeating. He did not think that the time was ripe for the creation of a
new political party devoted to National Socialist principles. „There is enough
to be done without launching a new party. We cannot simultaneously prepare the
soil, sow and reap. Let us take care of the soil first.“
Naumann and his associates continued
to meet, talk and organize for the next year. They established secret cells of like-minded
National Socialists in several German cities and forged alliances with other
clandestine revolutionary groups throughout the fatherland. One of these secret
societies was called the German Free Corps. Formed in Hamburg on August
17, 1951, this National Socialist group was made up of former SS members, NSDAP
officials and war veterans. The dominating personality was Colonel Hans-Ulrich
Rudel,. Members swore to live according to the twenty-five points of the NSDAP
program and considered Grand Admiral Dönitz the legal head of the German state.
Eventually some 2,000 men would hold membership in this secret army.
Naumann’s creation of the
Gauleiterkreis and his association with paramilitary groups like the Free Corps
brought him to the attention of British intelligence agents. These Jewish-paid
maggots began to follow Naumann and his friends wherever they went, listen to
their phone conversations and intercept their mail. On January 13, 1953
Naumann, Scheel, Haselmayer, Zimmermann and several other National Socialist
leaders were arrested by the British High Commissioner Ivone Kirkpatrick. A
month later the German Free Corps was broken up by the occupation forces, and
Kirkpatrick told the world that he had crushed a neo-Nazi plot to overthrow the
Bonn government.
Hundreds of documents and papers
were taken from Naumann’s home, but nothing was found to prove that Naumann was
the secret leader of a vast conspiracy as Kirkpatrick was claiming. For seven
months Naumann was locked in a prison cell while the British and their German
puppets in Bonn attempted to build a case against him. Finally on July 28, 1953
Naumann was released from prison. The Bonn traitors were unable to prove
anything.
Naumann was a free man once again,
but the Gauleiterkreis had been broken up. Many of his secret supporters and
financial backers began to drift away after deciding that contact with Naumann
was too dangerous. The Nazification of the Free Democratic Party was
brought to an abrupt halt when Achenbach and the other secret Nazis were
expelled from its ranks. Naumann was disappointed by the sudden wave of
misfortune, but he was determined to continue the fight.
He decided to take advantage of his
publicity surrounding his arrest and imprisonment by openly running for
political office. Adolf von Thadden, the young chairman of the
ultra-nationalist German Reich Party, agreed to put Naumann and Hans
Rudel at the head of his party’s ticket. The two National Socialist leaders
campaigned with great energy and enthusiasm during the month of August.
Thousands of German patriots were moved by their heroic crusade against Jewish
tyranny and oppression. The Bonn treason regime was so alarmed by Naumann’s
growing popularity that it decided to put an end to his campaign. He was
stripped of all of his civil rights and his name stricken from the ballot. A
few days later Naumann was visited buy some sinister figures who told him to
cease all political activity or die!
Werner Naumann withdrew from the
political scene in September 1954 and devoted his time, energy and talent to
private business. His heroic attempt to create a Fourth Reich had failed. But
the seeds of National Socialist revolution that he had planted were to bear
fruit in later years. The legacy of Werner Naumann can be felt all over present-day
Germany. Their holy mission is the same as Naumann’s – the restoration of a
National Socialist government in Germany and the liberation of Europe and the
world from the malignant and evil forces of international Jewry!
Heil Hitler!
