 Already Hitler had developed what Is known in German initiated circles as his "als ob" or "as if" formula, based on the theory that you must act aS if you already had what you wanted. Hitler spoke to the Munich mob as if he were c great political leader. Tn io40, he boasted to his aides that he had successfully used this technique oil his life.

He liked the young soldiers "patri- otic fervoT and his eloquence, which. even when the grammar was faulty, stirred his listeners, At first the other officers suspected that Hitler was just another abnormal friend of the captain. Then they decided he had merely enlisted tho woman. ish technique" of all-out flattery. Hitler didn't mind what they thought, as long as he got what he wanted.
 Hitler lavishcd promises both on the Workers' Party and on Captain Roehnn. He made himself bold to create tho vast Secrt army and tho political machine his pros tcctor wanted. To the Workers' Party, Hitler promiSed many new members. He kept the promise, thanks to Captain Roelim, who or- dered the soldiers and officers of his and other units to join the Party, with instructions always to side with Hitler.
