![]() In the first two chapters Hitler claims the balance between population and natural resources to be the main focus of any nation. In Mein Kampf Hitler declared that Germany's most dangerous opponent on the international scene was the Soviet Union in Zweites Buch, Hitler declared that for immediate purposes, the Soviet Union was still the most dangerous opponent, but that in the long-term, the most dangerous potential opponent was the United States. Zweites Buch also offers a different perspective on the U.S. He insinuated that in the far future a struggle for world domination might take place between the United States and a European alliance comprising a new association of nations, consisting of individual states with high national value. In contrast to Mein Kampf, in Zweites Buch Hitler added a fourth stage to the Stufenplan. See also: New Order (Nazism) § Hitler's plans for North America The third stage would be a war to obliterate what Hitler considered to be the " Judeo-Bolshevik" regime in the Soviet Union. The second stage would be a series of fast, " lightning wars" in conjunction with Italy and the United Kingdom against France and whichever of her allies in Eastern Europe-such as Czechoslovakia, Poland, Romania and Yugoslavia-chose to stand by her. In the first stage, there would be a massive military build-up, the overthrow of the shackles of the Treaty of Versailles, and the forming of alliances with Fascist Italy and the British Empire. Briefly, the Stufenplan called for three stages. Hitler himself never used the term Stufenplan, which was coined by Hillgruber in his 1965 book Hitlers Strategie. As in Mein Kampf, Hitler outlined what the German historian Andreas Hillgruber has called his Stufenplan ("stage-by-stage plan"). As in Mein Kampf, Hitler declared that the Jews were his eternal and most dangerous opponents. There are a number of similarities and differences between Zweites Buch and Mein Kampf.

Gerhard Weinberg speculates that the Zweites Buch was not published in 1928 because Mein Kampf did not sell well at that time and Hitler's publisher, Franz-Eher-Verlag, would have told Hitler that a second book would hinder sales even more. The Zweites Buch ( German:, "Second Book"), published in English as Hitler's Secret Book and later as Hitler's Second Book, is an unedited transcript of Adolf Hitler's thoughts on foreign policy written in 1928 it was written after Mein Kampf and was not published in his lifetime. ![]()
