The Mistery of Belicena Villca Berchtesgaden there are only two hundred kilometers while to Berlin more than a thousand . On the other hand we had the possibility of interviewing Rudolph , outside of all official protocol , without suffering the interference of secretaries or assistants and having time to talk and remember the good times .
The view of the legendary Venice , the passage through Austria and the arrival at the Bavarian Alps , were the threshold of my entry to a new and wonderful world .
From the moment I set foot on Bavarian soil , I noticed that the air was like electrified , as if a hidden motor sent powerful vibrations through the ether . It was something so evident in those days --or years-- that anyone who was moderately predisposed , could sense it .
Those vibrations , which were not captured by a physical organ , carried a message to the receiving spirit : Germany awakens ! 10 . But this translation in two words is clumsy ; seems like an elementary patriotic proclamation , it does not fully transmit what that mysterious force evoked in our Spirit . I ' ll try to explain it . Germany awakens ! was said and the listener did not think about the geographical Germany , not even in the Third Reich , but felt clearly in another world , without borders , in a Germany without Time or Space , whose only limits were precisely those set by this same vibration .
Germany would only conclude where the unifying vibration was no longer perceived because , now everyone knew , Germany was also that immanent inaudible sound called volkschwingen 11 .
Germany awakens ! said the transcendent message and Germany , like the phoenix , was reborn from the ashes of its last defeats ; it became the epicenter of a new weltanschauung 12 in which the infamies of the Jewish world conspiracy and Marxist-Leninist subversion would have no place .
The brown revolution would bring a New Order that would only admit in its ruling Elite the hierarchy of the Spirit ; those who really were superior would be superior by themselves , regardless of any other condition . This perspective stimulated healthy competition , breathed new hope and encouraged everyone to share the adventure of the “ German awakening ”. And no one was to doubt because the New Order was guaranteed , assured in its purity by the figure of the Führer 13 .
Yes , Germany finally had its Führer . He was the true architect of the New Order , the Chief who would lead the German people to victory . It was the year 1933 , Germany was waking up , Adolf Hitler was the Führer .
Chapter VII I was fifteen years old , the Soul loaded with illusions and the clear perception of the volkschwingen when , by Dad ' s hand , we arrived at the lodge of Rudolph Hess in Berchtesgaden .
The news had spread that the Führer was at Haus Wachenfeld and the area was invaded by journalists and onlookers , so it was difficult for us to stay . We finally did it in the modest inn " Kinderland " about two miles from Rudolph Hess ' home .
We spend the night there and very early in the morning we set off athletically along a curved snowy trail that followed the nearby hill . Dad , dressed in the Bavarian fashion , wore the narrow sleeve of his highlander trousers in thick knee-length woolen stockings . Laced boots , shirt and collarless jacket completed the outfit . I wore a brand new dark gray Hitlerjugend uniform , consisting of shorts , jacket with pockets and sailor collar ; buckle belt with the Rune
, strap crossed on the chest and a small dagger at the belt with the inscription " Blut und Ehre ” 14 engraved on the blade ; bow tie girdled with ring , lace ankle boots and gray socks .
The house where the Hess family was staying was an old construction made of wood in classic alpine style ; small but comfortable . When calling the door , we were attended by a sleepy officer of the SS who was performing the guard sleeping in the livingroom , next to the lit hearth . His name was Edwin Papp and was SS Obersturmführer 15 ).
– Herr Hess is still in bed , --the SS officer said-- . He will be glad to see you as he has been waiting for you for several days . Please sit in the living room while I make coffee .
