Probably quite true,A. Hitler had quite a broken view of the world like most of the Nazies around him.....he never really understood how his policies were implemented.
It doesn’t change the damage he did to Europe,it is just his perspective was incredibly flawed.To him the extermination of the Jews was real in a sense that it was a lifelong goal,that he has no idea how you’d go about doing such a task in real life.....is very plausible.
That there was an entire class of people in Europe who knew how to do this business,many of whom weren’t Nazies or predated them.....well that says a lot about Europe.
Nobama, thought you might be interested in this thread and this particular comment.
Your remark makes me think that there may be a number of people who may be too young, or who did not have history presented to them in any depth, or for any other reason did not learn enough to dismiss this assertion.
Thirty seconds Googling found me this record from Goebbels’ diary from December 12, 1941, the day after Hitler declared war on the United States. Hitler had just given a private address to the Nazi heirarchy, which he summarized. (Josef Goebbels was the Propaganda Minister for the Third Reich.)
“With regard to the Jewish Question the Fuehrer is determined to make a clean sweep. He prophesized that if they brought about another world war, they would experience their annihilation. This was no empty talk. The world war is here. The annihilation of the Jews must be the necessary consequence. This question is to be viewed without sentimentality. We’re not to have sympathy with the Jews, but only sympathy with our German people. If the German people has again now sacrificed around 160,000 dead in the eastern campaign, the instigators of this bloody conflict will have to pay for it with their own lives.”
Pull your head out of your anal orifice.
He most certainly knew the Holocaust was being conducted. His toadies often told him how many Jews were “murdered” by their actions to make themselves look good and gather more power for themselves.
