Soon after his politicization and radicalization in the summer of
1919, Adolf Hitler secretly started colluding with Russian nationalists.
Driven by a concern on how best to ensure Germany’s national survival
in the expected dawn of an age of super-powers, he teamed up with the
entourage of one of the pretenders to the vacant Tsarist throne, Grand
Duke Kirill Romanov.
Hitler, Kirill, and the Grand Duke’s fellow exiles in Bavaria agreed that neither on their own would be sufficiently strong to put their respective countries on equal footing with the Anglo-American world. Their plan thus was first to restore nationalist regimes in both their countries and subsequently to enter into a permanent and all-encompassing alliance.
