Hans George Fritzsche Quotes

The Nazis and most of the Arabs were allies in WWII. The Jews of Palestine—although they were opposed to many of the British policies regarding Palestine—were active in the Allied cause contributing units to the British Army. Although the Germans were brutal to civilians, murdering millions, they refrained from public pronouncements or exhortations to kill civilians in most cases. The Arabs did not. The Mufti was actually given the rank of General in the Nazi SS and had his own SS unit. In this despicable exhortation he actually uses a concept and wording from the Koran. See {584355}. This quotation is important in that it refutes a common claim by some Palestinians that it was only the Germans who were responsible for the Holocaust and the post war Jewish Refugee problem and that the Palestinians had to bear the price rather than place Israel in Europe. This quotation and the other by the Grand Mufti prove that Palestinians were not only complicit in persecution of Jews but took a leadership and advocacy role.

At this point, the horrors of the German concentration death camps were generally known by the world press. This quotation shows the denial that the Irish Free State was in about the German Nazi atrocities. The 6-county Nationalsits were the Irish counties in Northern Ireland that did not join the Irish Free State and so far as the Catholic Irish were concerned, the Catholics of Northern Ireland were a persecuted minority undergoing oppression and that was not they believed morally different from the murders of millions of Jews, Gypsies and handicapped people in Europe. If the Free State Irish publicly admitted the difference, they would morally have had to join the allies and De Valera was totally opposed to that. Over 70,000 Irishmen and women rejected the moral stand of their government, and volunteered for the British Army to the great distress of the Free State leaders like De Valera. See {639722} for his personal denial of reality.

Armenian dissidents in Turkey formed military units like Hinchak which during the First World War, attacked unarmed Turkish Muslim Villages behind the front lines. The object of the Armenians was to have turkey lose the war and obtain their own ethnic state afterwards. The atrocities committed by the Armenians were unfortunately matched by the Turks in what is now referred to as the “Armenian Genocide”. The hatred still prevails – see {588211}.

Germany had been a world intellectual center of science, arts and letters. After the Nazi’s came to power most of the great German Intellectual leaders like Albert Einstein—both Jews and non-Jews—left Germany. A few like Roth remained, but those espoused by the Nazis were second rate and the “feebelists of dilettantes.”

After the war Donitz was found guilty of Unrestricted Submarine Warfare and using thousands of slave laborers in his shipyards. He was sentenced to 10 years, one of the lightest sentences if the German War Crimes Trials.

Many people have believed that the Nazis introduced anti-Semitism into German society and politics. This quotation is one of the very many what show that anti-Semitism was rife in Germany before Hitler ever came to power—back to the Dark Ages. The Nazis recognized it and took advantage of it by ascribing all of Germany’s ills to the Jews, knowing full well that there was underlying public opinion that would make that a good tactic.
