Something wrong?The geographer who handed Hitler a vocabulary for conquest. Haushofer coined "Lebensraum" and tutored the Führer in geopolitics during the Landsberg Prison days, shaping the intellectual scaffolding beneath genocide - while his own half-Jewish family lived under the race laws his student imposed.

Karl Ernst Haushofer was a German general, professor, geographer, and diplomat born 27 August 1869. After the Beer Hall Putsch, he visited Landsberg Prison to teach and mentor Rudolf Hess and Adolf Hitler, his concept of Geopolitik influencing their ideological development. He coined the political use of "Lebensraum," the term Hitler would later deploy to justify crimes against peace and genocide. Yet under the Nuremberg Laws his half-Jewish wife Martha and their children were classified as Mischlinge; their son Albrecht received a German Blood Certificate through Hess's influence, then joined the July 20th plot to kill Hitler. Albrecht was arrested in 1944 and summarily executed by the SS in the war's last days. Interrogated by Fr. Edmund A. Walsh, who recommended prosecution at Nuremberg for complicity in Nazi war crimes, Karl and Martha Haushofer died together in a suicide pact outside their home in the American Zone on 10 March 1946.
