Power and the First Reich

"Nietzsche's demonic figure looms large over Moeller van den Bruck's magnum opus.
POWER is the keynote to all of NIetzsche's writings.
Power and megalomania.
In Nietzsche's autobiography, chapters are entitled 'Why I am so Wise', and 'Why I am so Clever'.
In 'The Will to Power' Nietzsche bluntly states:
'Society has never regarded virtue as anything else than as a means to power and order. The State is the Will to War, to Power, to conquest and revenge".
['The Man Who Invented The Third Reich', Lauryssens]

It would do well here to briefly describe the First Reich, which was a 'Thousand Year Reich':
"First there was Clovis, at the end of the 5th century A.D.
At the close of the 8th century, Charlemagne ...
Otto I crowned emperor in 962 ...
Frederick II conquered Jerusalem in 1228 - he died at the age of 56 on December 13th 1250, having ruled a large part of Europe, UNITING NORTH AND SOUTH ...

"The Teutonic Knights conquered East Prussia.
Under Emperor Charles V (1519-56), the vast Empire included Austria, the Netherlands, Spain, and part of the New World.
By war and inheritance, Frederick the Great (1740-86) acquired a chain of territories stretching from the Polish frontiers westwards to the Rhine ...
In 1760 the Russians entered Berlin, and in 1806 the French troops under Napoleon marched in triumph into the German capital.
The Holy Roman Empire, known as the FIRST REICH came to an end".
