Look for albert pikes three world war letter 1871. He is wacked imo.
Interesting. That really led me down a rabbit hole. Crazy if true, but it seems fake as fuck. No evidence of the letter existing. Only paraphrased, apparently, by a guy who wrote a book in 1925. But the paraphrasing uses the word "Nazi"?? Pretty sure "Nazi" didnt become a term until the 40's. In 1925 the NSDAP wouldve been a small, mostly irrelevent party.
I found this:
The word nazi

National Socialist German Workers' Party," led by Hitler from 1920.
The 24th edition of Etymologisches Wörterbuch der deutschen Sprache (2002) says the word Nazi was favored in southern Germany (supposedly from c. 1924) among opponents of National Socialism because the nickname Nazi, Naczi (from the masc. proper name Ignatz, German form of Ignatius) was used colloquially to mean "a foolish person, clumsy or awkward person." Ignatz was a popular name in Catholic Austria, and according to one source in World War I Nazi was a generic name in the German Empire for the soldiers of Austria-Hungary.
