  • QUOTES-Adolf Hitler, August 22, 1939

    Adolf Hitler
    August 22, 1939

    In preparation for the impending invasion of Poland, to Reichmarshal Hermann Goering and the commanding generals at Obersalzberg...


    "Our strength consists in our speed and in our brutality. Genghis Khan led millions of women and children to slaughter - with premeditation and a happy heart. History sees in him solely the founder of a state. It's a matter of indifference to me what a weak western European civilization will say about me.
    I have issued the command - and I'll have anybody who utters but one word of criticism executed by a firing squad - that our war aim does not consist in reaching certain lines, but in the physical destruction of the enemy. Accordingly, I have placed my death-head formations in readiness - for the present only in the East - with orders to them to send to death mercilessly and without compassion, men, women, and children of Polish derivation and language. Only thus shall we gain the living space (Lebensraum) which we need. Who, after all, speaks today of the annihilation of the Armenians?"

    This quote is the English version of the German document handed to Louis P. Lochner in Berlin. It first appeared in Lochner's What About Germany? (New York: Dodd, Mead & Co., 1942), pp. 1-4. The Nuremberg Tribunal later identified the document as L-3 or Exhibit USA-28. Two other versions of the same document appear in Appendices II and III. For the German original cf. Akten zur Deutschen Auswartigen Politik 1918-1945, Serie D, Band VII, (Baden-Baden, 1956), pp. 171-172.





    My 2 cents
    ------------
    The earliest transcript of this speech was available to Lochner (according to Prof.Bardakjian Hitler and the Armenian Genocide,I highly recommended ) and the victorious allies having this rough copy, looked for the speech in the Nazi files a more cleaned up version that does not include the referance to the Armenian Genocide.
    And that was entered in the Nuremberg trials since Lochner copy did not include the note taker's name because of the risk document being available a week before the invasion of Poland.

          Lochner's copy was the original Facttt 1
          It is entered as a reference into the Nuremberg trials as the copy that lead to allies realization that it must exist which they have captured a cleaned up version by Hitler's stenographist .Fact tuuuuuu

          This original rough copy was taken down by Anti Hitler person who was at the meeting ,and was handed to Lechner a week before the actual invasuion..Factttt 3

          I say, he said it 3 times.

            He most likely said it. Moreover, it's irrelevant whether or not he said those exact words. His henchmen were graduates of the Turkish school of massacre and genocide. So we know he knew about the Armenian Genocide, and we know he knew that the Turks got away scott clean. That's the point. And that's why the Holocaust Museum carries that message in its exhibit.

              exactly.

              However I believe it is near certain he said it (in 1939) as it coincides with his statements made in 1931 and elsewhere. I also think that the consipiracy theory level of analysis that there was some consipiracy to promote the idea of an Armenian Genocide (annhilation) in 1939 is rather absurd - folks had much more imediate problems and the situation of the Armenians in the prior war was waaaay under the radar. I understand the position of the Turks who try to discredit this statement - they after all are denying everything concerning the Genocide - so it matters not what the truth is - they will oppose any insinuation that the AG ever occured and try to discredit anything or anyone that suggests it did. But others should know better.

                A new book has been published on World War I :

                Culture and Mass Killing in the First World War By Alan Kramer Illustrated. 434 pages. $34.95. Oxford University Press



                Trinity College (Dublin) :
                Fête de l'Indépendance des États-Unis 2025 ! #GoogleDoodle


                Here is the journalistic presentation in the New York Herald Tribune :

                Who, after all, speaks today of the annihilation of the Armenians?” Hitler supposedly said on Aug. 22, 1939, as he prepared his henchmen for the savagery of race war and the slaughter of the Jews of Europe....
                ...by SIMON SEBAG MONTEFIORE



                "supposedly" ? Is it :

                - what the author of the book, Alan Kramer, says ?

                - or what the journalistic writing in the New York Herald Tribune says ?

                We have to see in the book. If it is the journalist, it is a (classical) mediatic distorsion in order to minimize the Armenian Genocide historically.

                  Obviously saying it 100 times isn't enough for certain jerks who frequent here. Maybe saying it 1000 might do it. But I suspect not. Live with your stupid fantasies if you want - but the rest of the world just laughs at you. The few credible Armenian writers on this subject must cring with embarassment at the antics of their fellow Armenians.

                    You come up with a lie, and then, when it is exposed (as they always are, because you are too stupid to come up with credible lies) you try to slander the exposer to hide your own guilt.
