APPENDIX IV A A CATHOLIC GERMANY AND THE NATIONAL SOCIALIST PARTY (by Wahlkreise.)

This map shows the election of July, 1932, as well as the areas inhabited predominantly by Catholics. It shows to the great sorrow of the economical determinist that there is a very concrete connection between political views and religion. A more elaborate map (showing the returns of the individual Kreise) would have demonstrated the fact that there is an even conformity between National Socialism and Protestantism (Lutheranism as well as Calvinism). The reader will now probably appreciate the fateful mistake in Wilson’s attitude toward the Anschluss which in all probability would have prevented the National Socialists’ rise to power.

APPENDIX IV B

CATHOLICS IN EAST PRUSSIA AND NATIONAL SOCIALISM

Elections July 31, 1932, by “Kreise.” (National Socialist votes.)

Catholics in Eastern Prussia (census of 1933).

The whole southern region of Eastern Prussia is Polish in language but Lutheran in religion. These Mazurs, as it can be seen on the map, voted overwhelmingly for the Nazis, while the German Ermelanders (Varmians) who are Catholics voted against them. Religion, not “race” is a paramount factor in political and ideological matters.
