January 5, 1919: At Hotel Vier Jahreszeiten (Thule headquarters), Thule member Karl Harrer and Anton Drexler founded the DAP — which became the Nazi Party. Sebottendorf imported the template from the Young Turk revolution: compartmentalized esoteric lodge incubating nationalist political revolution.
Personnel transmission: Eckart (Hitler's mentor, Mein Kampf dedicatee), Harrer (DAP co-founder), Feder (economic policy), Hess (Deputy Fuhrer), Frank (Governor-General of Poland), Rosenberg (chief ideologist). The membership roster 'reads like a Who's Who of early Nazi sympathizers' (Kershaw).
The structural principle: Once the mass movement succeeded, it consumed its incubator. Sebottendorf's book (Bevor Hitler kam, 1933) was banned. He was arrested, exiled, allegedly drowned 1945. A totalitarian state cannot tolerate the independent architecture that proved it could build rival movements.
