National Socialism
Rudolf Jung
Rudolf Jung (1882 – 1945) was a Sudeten-German railway engineer, trade-unionist, parliamentarian, and political activist. He was one of the early pioneers of National Socialism, and the National Socialist movement’s first major theoretician. Jung’s book Der Nationale Sozialismus was the first major attempt to outline and explain völkisch National Socialism as an ideology and a body of theory constituting a general, all-encompassing worldview. It thus not only represents one of the most detailed and thorough explorations of National Socialism as an ideological worldview, but also provides considerable insight into the nature of pre-Hitlerian National Socialism.
