In early 1918, Alfred returned to Revel and made an attempt to join the German Volunteer Corps. However, he was considered "Russian" and refused to admit.
At the end of 1918, Rosenberg moved to Munich. In 1920, he became close to the future Fuhrer of Germany, Hitler, and became a member of the Nazi party. It was Rosenberg who influenced the formation of the views of the leader of the Nazis. Contemporaries noted Alfred’s ability to present rather original ideas in an accessible form. He explained the history of mankind from the perspective of racial theory. In the early 1920s, Rosenberg published several anti-Semitic books. Hitler used a number of ideas of the future ideologist of the party when writing his book Mine Kampf.
