Description:My Political Awakening: From the Journal of a German Socialist Worker by Anton Drexler, Honorary Chairman and Founder of the National Socialist German Workers Party, is translated from the 1923 third edition of the German original Mein politisches Erwachen: Aus dem Tagebuch eines deutschen sozialistischen Arbeiters. Obviously, Drexler was a key figure in the earliest history of what would soon, under the leadership of Adolf Hitler, become the NSDAP, rise to power and give birth to the Third Reich.
