Appears that Hitler before banning freemasonry in nazi germany was himself once a freemason, borrowed idealogy from masonry, became disenchanted with and then persecuted the masons.
Link? I've seen him mention his father was a Freemason, and that his cousin was a Freemason, but in my searching this morning have found no quote of Kesselring professing himself as a freemason.
Nazi General Kesselring was a professing freemason.
Voltaire only became a Mason one month before his death. Hardly fair to call him a Masonic author if the majority of his writing was done before he ever became a member.
Nazism oft quote the Freemason Voltaire especially Voltaire's antisemitic rants against Jews.
There is not a single thing that anyone can do to stop anyone whatsoever from displaying Masonic hand gestures. It's not like we have an exclusive trademark on them or anything. Photos of gestures and handshakes do not prove affiliation with any particular group, because any group or any individual could freely use those symbols for any purpose of their own.
Photographs of Hitler displaying masonic hand gestures.
And it's widely known and not disputed that the swastika was a mystical symbol long before Hitler adopted it. Doesn't mean Hitler was a Mason.
Joseph Fort Newton: baptist minister and mason quoted an essay by Thomas Carr with a list of lodges, study of their history, customs, and emblems especially the swastika.
Hitler was a theosophist, but was never a Mason.
The bridge that spans freemasonry to nazism is theosophy which led to the Thule Gesselshaft.
The points of commonality are among the many denials of the freemasons.
