Coming up: A review of the book 'Hitler: The Proclaimed Messiah of the Palestinian Cause' written by Aabhas Maldahiyar.
Namaste Friends. My name is 'Shinil Subramanian Payamal' and you are listening to the Historylogy podcast.
Before I proceed, a full disclosure: This book was bought with my own money and not been provided to me by the author or publisher.
Little bit about the author:
Aabhas Maldahiyar is an architect, urban designer, and historian. He is a founding member of the Foundation for Indian Historical and Cultural Research, which reshapes historical discourse through rigorous, source-driven scholarship. His passion for history is tied to this architectural vision, viewing structures as living testaments to past civilizations. A former Marxist, his transformation began at the Ajanta Caves, where ancient artistry challenged his beliefs. This shift led him from Marxist literature to historical inquiry, shaping his journey into research and storytelling. His debut non-fiction work, #Modi Again: An Ex-Communist’s Manifesto (2019), traces his intellectual evolution. Babur: The Chessboard King, which is based on primary sources, begins his Timurid Gurkaniyan series. A skilled reader of Persian manuscripts, Aabhas offers a unique historical perspective, challenging conventional narratives.
Let me read a brief description of the book:
QUOTE
For decades, Hindu nationalism has been labelled fascist, yet history exposes the irony. Vinayak Damodar Savarkar was the first Indian politician to recognize Israel, while the Arab world idolized Hitler as a rockstar messiah—the heir of Prophet Muhammad, the reincarnation of Imam Ali, and even Al-Mahdi—believing that he was on a divine mission to exterminate the Jews.
In this exposé, Aabhas Maldahiyar uncovers a trove of explosive material, including declassified documents from German, American, and British archives, revealing the Nazi–Islamist alliance that history tried to erase. From the Grand Mufti urging Hitler to export the Holocaust to the Middle East, to the Muslim Brotherhood treating Mein Kampf like a second Quran, this book shatters the myth that fascism and jihad were ever at odds.
Even Hitler fantasized about an Islamic Europe, admiring jihad as the perfect war machine, while Himmler cuddled up with a Quran as if it were a bedtime storybook.
Maldahiyar also decodes Islamofascism, Zionism, and a straightforward history of Israel, dispelling myths at every turn.
A fearless, darkly witty, and unfiltered account of history’s most dangerous love affair.
UNQUOTE
The basic premise of this book is the fact that the enemy of your enemy is your friend.
Once German boots touched the sands of North Africa and inched towards the Middle East, Germany’s strategy began to shift, aiming to turn supposed shared enemies—the British Empire, the Soviet Union, America, and the Jews—into the common targets of a Nazi-Islamic alliance.
This book challenges mainstream narratives that often sanitize or downplay this alliance, presenting it not as a footnote but as a pivotal chapter in the evolution of anti-Zionism and Islamist politics.
One of the most compelling sections analyzes Arabic translations of Mein Kampf circulated in the Middle East with Nazi funding, and how Hitler’s racial ideology was selectively repurposed to fuel religious anti-Semitism.
Maldahiyar places significant emphasis on the figure of Haj Amin al-Husseini, the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem, and his well-documented interactions with the Nazi regime.
Hitler confided in his favoured architect, Albert Speed. ‘It has been our misfortune to have the wrong religion,’ he lamented. His tone was biting, a bitterness laced with disdain for Christianity’s ideals, which he sneered at as ‘meekness and flabbiness.’ To him, these teachings were a shackle, a weakening yoke that bound the fierce ambitions of his vision.
Islam, which he exalted as a Mannerreligion—a ‘religion of men’. Here was a faith, he mused, that gifted its warriors a heaven of earthly allure—‘a real earthly paradise’, where rewards glittered in the form of ‘houris’ and rivers of flowing wine. To him, it seemed sculpted for those of ‘Germanic temperament’, a creed both potent and visceral, starkly contrasting with what he scorned as the ‘Jewish filth and priestly twaddle’ woven through Christianity’s fabric.
Whether you agree with Maldahiyar or not, the argument is presented with conviction and clarity. The inclusion of rare photographs, telegrams, and propaganda posters adds evidentiary weight.
I was a bit disappointed with the fact that there is (a lot) more about Erwin Rommel, famously nicknamed "The Desert Fox", than Adolf Hitler.
Rommel’s objective in North Africa was to conquer Egypt, capture the Suez Canal, knock Britain out of the Mediterranean, and secure the Middle Eastern oil fields for the Axis—potentially altering the entire course of the war.
Final Verdict:
Hitler: The Proclaimed Messiah of the Palestinian Cause at just over 325 pages, is concise yet dense. It is not a biography of Hitler nor a comprehensive history of the Palestinian cause, but a laser-focused study of their convergence.
For students of 20th-century totalitarianism, Middle Eastern politics, or the global history of anti-Semitism, it is essential reading.
I give this book 4.25/5 and highly recommend it to those who are willing to confront uncomfortable truths.
As the author rightly says: History whispers its warnings to those who would listen: Wherever the Islamic world establishes dominion, the script unfolds with eerie consistency—persecution, relentless and merciless. And we can see this happening today in Bangladesh where Hindus are being hounded, hunted, and erased with ruthless efficiency.
The book is currently available in Hardcover and Kindle format and on Amazon USA, it is available only in Kindle format. I have given the respective buy link in the show notes. Please check it out for the latest price.
