Index WORLD WAR II

Dr. Theodor Fr. Böttiger has written a great number of political publications, most of them national-socialistic:

• Hamburgs Patrioten 1800-1814 (Hamburg, 1926);

• London und Berlin (in Der Vorstoss - Wochenschrift für die deutsche Zukunft #45, 1931); 

• Unser Hindenburg - der große Soldat und Reichspräsident im Bilde (a volume in the series Die Bücher der jungen Generation, Berlin, 1934); 

• Führer der Völker (a volume in the series Die Bücher der jungen Generation, Berlin, 1935);

• Engländer... Gestalten aus dem Alltag einer müden Nation (volume 3 in the series Die neue Welt Bücherei, Berlin, 1941) ;

• Der Sinn des 30. Januar (in the series Der Deutsche in Schweden, Stockholm, 1944). 

Böttiger also cooperated with # 3 and 7 of volume 1928 and # 9 of volume 1929 of the Berlin magazine Jungnationale Stimmen (national-socialism, youth movement).

On May 27, 1940, the Völkischer Beobachter, the official newspaper of the NSDAP, published the article Die Kolonne des Nostradamus. Böttiger, entitled as a "correspondent on diplomacy", opposed himself against England and tried to incite the French society against her government by supposing that Frenchmen who attached great value to the Nostradamian prediction that in 1940 Paris would be ruined and England would be destroyed, were far more realistic than the French Prime Minister Reynaud, who trusted general Weygand, who had to lead the French army in their fight with the Germans.
