Alfred Rosenberg "An die Dunkelmaenner unserer Zeit" - Hoheneichen Verlag Edition
A hardcover book by Alfred Rosenberg titled "An die Dunkelmaenner unserer Zeit" ("To the Obscurantists of Our Time"), subtitled as a response to attacks on the "Mythus des 20. Jahrhunderts". The cover carries stylized Fraktur-style lettering in red and dark brown, with a circular emblem depicting a torch-bearing arm above the publisher's imprint "Hoheneichen Verlag Muenchen".
Rosenberg's "Der Mythus des 20. Jahrhunderts" was a major ideological text of the National Socialist party, and this companion volume was published as a rebuttal to its critics, reflecting the propagandistic literature circulated within Third Reich intellectual circles.
Alfred Rosenberg served as the NSDAP's chief ideologue and later as Reich Minister for the Occupied Eastern Territories; his 1930 "Der Mythus des 20. Jahrhunderts" set out a racial and anti-Christian pseudo-philosophy that became one of the movement's key doctrinal texts, though it was more widely owned than read. "An die Dunkelmaenner unserer Zeit" was written as a direct response to criticism of that work, particularly from Christian churches and Catholic intellectuals who condemned its anti-religious content. Hoheneichen Verlag was the NSDAP's own publishing house, closely tied to Rosenberg, and produced ideological literature for party and educational use during the Third Reich.
