Talk:Albrecht Haushofer

Moa-bites

I see that an Irish edition of the Moabiter Sonette calls them "Moabite Sonetts".Is this a joking references to the Moabites? --Radh (talk) 17:29, 8 May 2009 (UTC)

Moabiter Sonette

79 Sonnets

I have consulted the 2nd printing of 1946, which has an afterword by Rainer Hildebrandt.

There is an English translation by M.D.Herter Norton, "Moabit Sonnets" (ISBN: 0393045323 )

There is a memorial with a line from a sonnet at the site of the prison in the Moabit district of Berlin (Berlin-Moabit)

"The Father" is in the Dover "Introduction to German Poetry" with a literal translation on the facing page (Der Vater, p. 162) G. Robert Shiplett 14:32, 18 October 2011 (UTC)

Forward to 2nd 1946 printing

Roughly translated, the frontispiece reads:

The last poems of Albrecht Haushofer whose life was sacrificed

because he was a man and freedom was aboe life itself

lying in the hand of the dead prisoner, they bear witness to the spirit which moved him

Discrepancy or opinion?

The Hess article states:

 with Hess and Haushofer's son Albrecht developing a strong friendship

This is not what is stated in this article.

With regard to Hess, the German wiki states only:

 Ab 1933 war er auf Empfehlung von Rudolf Heß Dozent an der Hochschule für Politik in Berlin.

which is not stated here.

One source (Solomon Wistrich, 2002) states:

 Albrecht Haushofer was probably the architect of Rudolf Hess's (q.v.) flight to Britain in May 1941 
 to seek British collaboration against the Russians. [1]

Yet another account with details: Peter Hoffmann

 Over lunch on May 5, Hess met the younger Haushofer, Professor Albrecht Haushofer, whom he had summoned 
 to his room in the Hotel Drei Mohren

I have added a See Also for Duke of Hamilton as the connection to the Duke was likely Haushofer in the von Ribbentrop ministry, not Hess (see Hoffmann, above)

Grundman in "The Einstein Dossiers: Science and Politics" asserts that Hess shielded Haushofer under the Nazi regime.
