Abstract
The novels of Karl May were a significant factor in the development of many aspects of Hitler’s concepts of national and international politics, and partly, underlay both strategic planning and tactical activities in many areas during World war II. These books provided, in part, a model for conducting the type of unconventional warfare which Hitler found successful against the old and rigid battlefield strategies employed by the military leaders of the European states conquered by his armies.
