       Let's see the written Hitler's thoughts on Book "Political
       Testament of Adolf Hitler Hitler-Bormann Documents as taken down
       by Martin Bormann". Recorded on 4th February 1945. 2 months 23
       days, or 85 days before his honorable suicide on 30th April
       1945.

       "The laws of nature follow a logic which does not
       necessarily always conform to our own ideas of logic. We
       ourselves were disposed to compromise. We were ready to
       throw our forces into the scales for the preservation of the
       British Empire; and all that, mark you, at a time when, to
       tell the truth, I feel much more sympathetically inclined to
       the lowliest Hindu than to any of these arrogant islanders.
       Later on, the Germans will be pleased that they did not
       make any contribution to the survival of an out-dated state
       of affairs for which the world of the future would have
       found it hard to forgive them. We can with safety make one
       prophecy: whatever the outcome of this war, the British
       Empire is at an end. It has been mortally wounded. The
       future of the British people is to die of hunger and
       tuberculosis in their cursed island." - Adolf Hitler's recorded
       conversation on 4th February 1945
       The conclusion is, Hitler's speeches which tend to support
       Britain and her colonial empire were just pragmatic political
       program and not the real goal of Hitler's regime and National
       Socialism ideology.

       “The World War had as one of its consequences that, wherever
       capitalism reigns, America has supremacy. And since America
       suffers from industrial overproduction, it will exploit this
       supremacy to dispose of its overproduction. That concerns
       everyone—Germany as well as France, England as well as South
       America, China, and Japan. Only where capitalism has been
       broken, abolished, replaced by something new does America’s
       power stop.
       Herein lies our greatest mission and at the same time our best
       chance! Here is the bedrock where we may cast anchor. From there
       an anti-industrial world can be erected.” - Adolf Hitler

       To make this happen, we must defeat [b]Liberalism and Communism,
       and Western Civilization, which it's people forcing everyone to
       be an industrialist machinist[/b]
       Compare what Hitler envisage to what Karl Marx envisage
       "Without slavery, North America, the most progressive of
       countries, would be transformed into a patriarchal country. Wipe
       out North America from the map of the world and you will have
       anarchy— the complete decay of modern commerce and civilization.
       Abolish slavery and you will have wiped America off the map of
       nations." - Karl Heinrich Marx

       [quote]How were the communists able to promote an
       anti-ethnocentric worldview in predominantly white countries at
       the same exact time as the National Socialists then?[/quote]
       I won't disagree that certain historic NS writings on "race"
       were too bogged down by ethnocentrism at times, but Soviet
       policy was explicitly ethnocentric as well. Perhaps much more so
       than Germany, arguably:
       [quote]Through Joseph Stalin's theory on nationality, borders
       were drawn to create national homelands for various recognized
       ethnic groups.[4] Early republics like the Kazakh ASSR and the
       Turkestan ASSR in Central Asia were dissolved and split up to
       create new union republics.[5] With delimitation came the policy
       of indigenization which encouraged the de-Russification of the
       country and promotion of minority languages and culture.[6] This
       policy also affected ethnic Russians and was particularly
       enforced in ASSRs where indigenous people were already a
       minority in their own homeland, like the Buryat ASSR.[7]
       Language and culture flourished and ultimately institutionalized
       ethnicity in the state apparatus of the country.[8]
       [...]
       By the 1930s the mood shifted as the Soviet Union under Joseph
       Stalin stopped enforcing indigenization and began purging
       non-Russians from government and intelligentsia. Thus, a period
       of Russification set in.[6] Russian became mandatory in all
       areas of non-Russian ethnicity and the Cyrillic script became
       compulsory for all languages of the Soviet Union.[11] The
       constitution stated that the ASSRs had power to enforce their
       own policies within their territory,[12] but in practice the
       ASSRs and their titular nationalities were some of the most
       affected by Stalin's purges and were strictly controlled by
       Moscow.[13] From 1937, the "bourgeois nationalists" became the
       "enemy of the Russian people" and indigenization was
       abolished.[11]
       [...]
       When the Soviets gained the upper hand and began recapturing
       territory in 1943, many minorities of the country began to be
       seen as German collaborators by Stalin and were accused of
       treason, particularly in southern Russia.[15] Between 1943 and
       1945 ethnic Balkars,[16] Chechens,[17] Crimean Tatars,[18]
       Ingush,[17] and Kalmyks[19] were deported en masse from the
       region to remote parts of the country. Immediately after the
       deportations the Soviet government passed decrees that
       liquidated the Kalmyk ASSR on 27 December 1943,[19] the Crimean
       ASSR on 23 February 1944,[20] the Checheno-Ingush ASSR on 7
       March 1944,[17][/quote]
  HTML https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Republics_of_Russia#History
       [quote]Besides national republics, oblasts, and okrugs, several
       hundred national districts (with populations between 10,000 and
       50,000) and several thousand national townships (population 500
       to 5,000) were established. In some cases this policy required
       voluntary or forced resettlement in both directions to create a
       compact population.
       [...]
       In the 1920s and the 1930s, the policy of national delimitation,
       which assigned national territories to ethnic groups and
       nationalities, was followed by nation-building, attempting to
       create a full range of national institutions within each
       national territory. Each officially recognized ethnic minority,
       however small, was granted its own national territory where it
       enjoyed a certain degree of autonomy, in addition to national
       elites.[5] A written national language was developed (if it had
       been lacking), national language planning was implemented,
       native teachers were trained, and national schools were
       established.
       [...]
       Following the introduction of the Soviet passport system in
       1932, each adult citizen's ethnicity (Russian:
       националь&
       #1085;ость)
       was necessarily recorded in their passport. Where parents'
       nationalities differed, a citizen was able to choose which
       nationality to register in their passport.[37] This practice did
       not exist in the Russian empire and has been abolished in the
       Russian Federation

       [quote]How Stalin Created Some of the Post-Soviet World's Worst
       Ethnic Conflicts
       [...]
       Terry Martin, director of the Davis Center for Russian and
       Eurasian Studies at Harvard University and coauthor of "A State
       Of Nations: Empire And Nation-Building In The Age Of Lenin And
       Stalin," agrees, but adds that the Soviets created problems from
       the beginning by trying to draw borders too precisely along
       ethnic lines in places where ethnic identities were still
       evolving.
       "If they did anything that created ethnic conflict, they created
       ethnic conflict by trying to draw the borders too precisely," he
       says. "That is, they created a lot of ethnic mobilization around
       borders in the 1920s as people lobbied to get one border and
       lobbied various people to identify with their nationality and
       not with another in areas where nationality was very fluid, like
       Central Asia. Most of the modern nationalities that we have
       [today] hadn't even been formed yet."[/quote]

       Instead of Hitler trying to create provinces for each of the 5
       or so "sub-races" that existed in Germany, Hitler's goal was to
       unify them into something new.
       [quote]He was already struggling in a war where everyone was
       attacking him on all sides, so he really had nothing to lose by
       openly promoting something more similar to what we promote
       now.[/quote]
       Hitler was not a biologist, so I do not blame him for not having
       a sufficient understanding to precisely express the ideology
       which he intuitively felt.
       Here is Walter Gross attempting to clarify the official stance
       of the party regarding racial matters in 1939, from Der deutsche
       Rassengedanke und die Welt. This was just as the party was
       trying to distance itself from Nordicism.
       [quote]Germany goes here in 1933 and introduces a completely new
       concept into law and international law, namely a classification
       of people according to their descent from a racial point of
       view. In practice, we were treading Judaism, and quite
       exclusively Judaism, because we did not have a foreign race
       problem of a different kind in Germany to a significant extent
       at that time, nor did we have any contact with foreign breeds
       outside our borders, which would be significantly impaired by
       the German racial laws. First of all, it is a conflict between
       us and Judaism. But for reasons that matter here, we
       deliberately did not speak of Jews but of non-Aryans in the
       first legal measures (such as the law on the restoration of the
       professional civil service) and thus put the whole problem on a
       much broader basis than, for example, the conflict between Jews
       and Germans.
       [...]
       But a very serious situation arises from the fact that now other
       peoples and states feel directly attacked and defamed in their
       honor and dignity as a nation, namely as a non-Aryan nation, by
       the German racial rule and the segregation from the racial
       alien. I do not want to count all the peoples and countries with
       whom there have been serious debates for this reason. It is
       appropriate to point out that, for example, the whole world of
       the Far East was for a long time under the impression that the
       German in his new National Socialist conception described it as
       non-Aryan, and that he considered the non-Aryans as an inferior
       rabble. So: The German distinguishes us as inferior, secondary
       people and himself as the actual bearer of culture. Suffice it
       to say that such a conception could understandably cause
       infinite excitement and hatred against this new Nazi Germany
       among proud, self-confident, reverent national peoples, such as
       Japan. We have had the same phenomenon in India, for example,
       and we have experienced it in many Near Eastern peoples.
       All this manifested itself in two ways. Once in a mood-based
       bias against the Third Reich, against Germanness in general.
       [...]
       sooner or later this government was forced by its own people to
       ask Berlin now, so to speak, what is actually going on about it:
       Whether their people are actually regarded and treated as
       second-class people and semi-savages because of their race and
       discord? This has indeed led to diplomatic steps in Berlin at a
       time when any tension of any kind on this globe, if it was not
       absolutely inevitable, has been annoying, unpleasant and
       actually unbearable.
       [...]
       What could we do about this tendency to see in the German racial
       idea a fundamental defamation of people of other races? We could
       do nothing but repeatedly present the German racial idea in its
       actual form with calm and superiority and make it clear to
       people that the essence of racial knowledge is not the
       evaluation or even the devaluation of other groups of people in
       this world, but nothing more than the cool, yes I would like to
       say scientific, statement, that there are different groups of
       people in this world and that there is primarily no talk of an
       evaluation at all, that the statement: You are of a different
       race towards us--first contains no more and no less value
       judgment than the objective observation of a person who walks
       through the forest and says: "It is not only trees in the
       forest, but this and this is an oak tree." -- This is not an
       insult or a value judgment.
       [...]
       We are sometimes there--that I must also pronounce--disturbed by
       clumsiness over even stupidity in our own country, when
       somewhere a wild fool produced his ideas of race, or that if we
       had just made it painstakingly clear to some people that we
       respect and honor them and that we completely concede to them
       his peculiarity on the basis of his bloody and racial internal
       legality, with one fool in his leaflet or book wrote that this
       people was racially inferior, that they were under cow and
       donkey, that their qualities were wickedness and uncleanliness,
       and what do I know. With such stupid derailments, not only
       foreign-race peoples in distant parts of the world, but even
       neighboring peoples in Europe, often even historically,
       fatefully determined friends of National Socialist Germany, have
       sometimes been irritated and alienated to the blood. I say
       openly that the two great peoples and powers who first began
       with us the political-organizational struggle against all the
       forces of decay and decline in the world, namely Italy and
       Japan, have shown an infinitely strong reserve against the
       German racial idea for years, out of misunderstanding, but
       unfortunately also partly as a result of the nonsense of
       individual irresponsible people in our own people, because they
       believed that the content of this German racial idea was an
       immediate degradation and defamation of their own national and
       cultural values.
       [...]
       If today we can speak with the Japanese in this field in a
       completely clear and unbiased way: you are like this and we are
       different, we are deeply different in nature, -- then this will
       never give us a single hint of cause for friction and
       explosions, we will precisely out of respect for otherness from
       the outset remove the possibility from the outset, which can
       give a dilution, mixing and blurring of these natural boundaries
       between us, and in the end there remains the deep respect for
       the culture of a very nation that has become a strong, proud and
       great nation out of completely different bloody foundations and
       completely different historical conditions and is thus somewhere
       closely related to ourselves, which, of course, we possess and
       must preserve other styles and other forms from our inner racial
       law and racial content.
       Exactly the same thing, as you know, has occupied us for a long
       time in the position on fascism and Italy. All the greater is
       our concern that the Italian people have now lost all
       sensitivity to the racial idea of Germany not only in this area,
       but are even the first other people to have established their
       own racial idea, which is directly related to ours, and has thus
       moved into the common front in the struggle for the racial
       idea.[/quote]
       I would say Gross's apparent ethnocentrism may be arising from a
       failure to fully pry apart nationality, ethnicity, and "race".
       Particularly in the last 2 paragraphs. In reality, racially, the
       Japanese are deeply similar to Germans (which is why they were
       Aryans allied with Germany). In terms of ethnicity, obviously
       they are different, but this is irrelevant for political
       matters. In terms of nationality, culture, and the corresponding
       "national idea" which Japan must base their nationalism
       on--their history and culture are very different from Germany's,
       so they must have a distinct "national idea". This
       interpretation is more obvious in the final paragraph about
       Italians. Italians are, ethnically, not too distantly-related
       from Germans, yet they have an entirely different "racial idea"
       than Germany.
       If Gross was around today, perhaps he would have worded things
       more precisely. But the core of what he is saying is that (1)
       different "peoples" exist, (2) different "peoples" are not
       inferior to Germans simply for being different (i.e.
       anti-ethnocentrism), and (3) non-Aryans are inferior (i.e. Jews,
       specifically, and exclusively in the case of Germany. Not
       "Rhineland bastards", but exclusively Jews). Logically, Aryans
       and non-Aryans must be qualitatively similar to each other
       within each category, regardless of differences in ethnicity or
       nationality.
       In A. James Gregor's article on NS and race, he explains
       similarly:
       [quote]In effect this last phase of National Socialist race
       theory was a complete rejection of Guenther's Nordicism.
       [...]
       We are told that "the races distinguish themselves not through
       their characteristics; for the same characteristics can be found
       in different races…For example a Mediterranean can be as
       courageous as a Nordic, an Alpine as musical as a Dinaric, an
       East Balt as cunning as a Nordic. On the other hand not all
       Mediterraneans are courageous, nor all Nordics. But when a
       Mediterranean is courageous he is courageous in a 'Mediterranean
       fashion' as a Nordic would be courageous in a 'Nordic
       fashion'."[102]
       Here is an entirely different racism, an entirely different
       Nordicism than that of Guenther and his followers. Here there
       was no question of general inferiority - it was a question of
       maintaining an ideal as an archetype for an entire civilization.
       Germany had a Nordic archetype; its art form was Nordic; its
       literature and philosophy, its music and institutions were
       inspired by Nordic ideals. Each German was bequeathed this
       patrimony from the original racial elements, now inextricably
       mixed into the German Nation, among which the Nordic
       predominated. It was not a question of intrinsic worth, national
       and racial superiority and inferiority tearing asunder the
       peoples of Europe. There is no transcendental standard by which
       to evaluate racial differences.[103] A people characteristically
       Mongolian treasures a Mongolian heritage and ideal, a
       Mediterranean people a Mediterranean one.[104][/quote]
       But to Hitler, "Nordics", "Alpines", etc. are not truly races.
       Aryan is a race. The so-called racial classifications made by
       academics are just ancient ethnic groups or nationalities whose
       mixture gave rise to the modern nationalities. The grand task is
       understanding the traits which have been inherited by a modern
       nationality and promoting the noble ones. Germany, Italy, and
       Japan were formed from different historic mixtures, and it was
       not possible to judge whether one of those mixtures was better
       than the other, since they all had positive and negative traits.
       Today, we know now the racial process which likely gave rise to
       noble traits in the first place (selection for a farming
       lifestyle) and on this basis we can see the underlying noble
       characteristics in Germany, Italy, and Japan are not so
       different after all.
       [quote]Although I'm sure plenty of white nationalists would
       argue that Hitler was simply slandering Eastern Europeans for
       propagandistic purposes, since they were warring against
       him[/quote]
       The term Underman was originally used to describe the quality of
       individuals/nations which had succumbed to Communism (National
       Socialists did not coin the term). However, National Socialists
       consistently used this definition. In the image below, note that
       this type of anti-Communist/anti-Underman propaganda was
       translated into multiple Slavic languages (for nations allied
       with Germany). The fact that Communism's hold was strongest on
       Slavic nations may have been a coincidence, or, as we would
       assert, due to Turanism...

       Just did some digging and apparently the NSDAP considered jazz
       'degenerate' because it had 'Negro' and 'Jewish' origins. While
       this is true, I assume this isn't the actual reason why jazz was
       considered degenerate, as the laws enforcing jazz were not
       widely enforced, and as you probably already know, Goebbels had
       his own propaganda band known as 'Charlie and His Orchestra.'
       What did Hitler and Goebbels really think about jazz? Did they
       consider it 'degenerate' and 'jungle music'?

  HTML https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Degenerate_music
       [quote]Degenerate music (German: Entartete Musik, German
       pronunciation: [ɛntˈaʁtɛtə
       muˈziːk]) was a label applied in the 1930s by the
       government of Nazi Germany to certain forms of music that it
       considered harmful or decadent. The Nazi government's concerns
       about degenerate music were a part of its larger and
       better-known campaign against degenerate art (German: Entartete
       Kunst). In both cases, the government attempted to isolate,
       discredit, discourage, or ban the works.
       ...
       Jewish composers such as Felix Mendelssohn and Gustav Mahler
       were disparaged and condemned by the Nazis.[1] In Leipzig, a
       bronze statue of Mendelssohn was removed. The regime
       commissioned music to replace his incidental music to A
       Midsummer Night's Dream.[2]
       ...
       From the Nazi seizure of power onward, these composers found it
       increasingly difficult, and often impossible, to get work or
       have their music performed. Many went into exile (e.g., Arnold
       Schoenberg, Kurt Weill, Paul Hindemith, Berthold Goldschmidt);
       or retreated into "internal exile" (e.g., Karl Amadeus Hartmann,
       Boris Blacher); or ended up in the concentration camps (e.g.,
       Viktor Ullmann, or Erwin Schulhoff).[/quote]
       Let's listen to these composers!

       Most music considered degenerate by National Socialism was
       WESTERN CLASSICAL MUSIC! But somehow this is overlooked.....

       I'll take that as a 'Hitler and Goebbels actually enjoyed jazz
       music and 'historians' like Lusane and Kater are lying when they
       say they hated jazz music and wanted it banned.'

       The only NSDAP members who definitely disliked jazz:
  HTML https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Negermusik
       [quote]On 4 May 1930, Wilhelm Frick, the Reich's newly appointed
       Minister of the Interior and Education for Thuringia made a
       decree called "Against the Negro Culture – For Our German
       Heritage".[8][9][/quote]
       Frick again! We have covered him before:
  HTML http://aryanism.net/blog/aryan-sanctuary/summer-cleaning/comment-page-1/#comment-176176
       [quote]“A supplementary decree issued on 26 November 1935
       extended the law to “Gypsies, Negroes, and their bastards.
       Also non Aryans could not be considered for the Ahnenpass.
       Africans were not considered part of the Aryan race, Africans
       could not join.the Sturmabteilung”
       The decree was established by Wilhelm Frick, a minister under
       Hitler’s rule, and was quickly sacked from power and influence
       by Hitler after he established that decree.[/quote]
  HTML https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wilhelm_Frick
       [quote]His power was greatly reduced in June 1936 when Hitler
       named Himmler the Chief of German Police, which effectively
       united the police with the SS. On paper, Frick was Himmler's
       immediate superior. In fact, the police were now independent of
       Frick's control, since the SS was responsible only to
       Hitler.[13][14] [/quote]
       Who else? Back to first link:
       [quote]Eugen Hadamovsky, who purportedly stated:
       Mit dem heutigen Tag spreche ich ein endgültiges Verbot des
       Negerjazz für den gesamten Deutschen Rundfunk aus. (As of today,
       I decree a definitive ban on the negro jazz for the entire
       German Radio.).[8][12][/quote]
  HTML https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eugen_Hadamovsky
       [quote]Goebbels was not entirely pleased with him, as is evident
       by many references in Goebbels' diaries.[/quote]
       And again, as with general hostility towards "blacks", hostility
       towards jazz actually predated the National Socialist era,
       therefore it would be more accurate to consider Frick and
       Hadamovsky as carrying over these attitudes from the Weimar era:
  HTML https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German_jazz
       [quote]After the Great War in Germany, Negrophobia coalesced
       with the preexisting anti-Semitism and flourished, especially
       since Jews were often depicted as having a racial affinity with
       blacks, possessing similar objectionable qualities. Jews were
       prevalent figures in new art forms such as jazz, cabaret, and
       film. Often, a great number of jazz band leaders were Jews, many
       from Eastern Europe, including Bela, Weber, Efim Schachmeister,
       Paul Godwin, and Ben Berlin.[6]
       ...
       the deeply engrained and institutionalized racism of German
       society was not tolerant of blacks. For instance, many
       nationalistic student fraternities rejected student members who
       were of color or married to women of color. Furthermore, in
       1932, all the conservative musicians and critics were
       denigrating jazz as a product of "Negro" culture, which provided
       the government the fodder to forbid the hiring of black
       musicians. Thus, for many African-American artists, popularity
       was a mere facade of a grim reality of being seen as a "racial
       alien". One critic even went as far as to call jazz a mere
       "negro noise", having only one purpose: "to introduce
       obscenities into society."[6]
       Paul Schewers, a music critic, brought forth crude images of
       lewdly dancing black boys and girls in the service of
       procreation, implying that the lower forces were always surging
       through blacks, overtaking the rational light of morality and
       reason the way the white man grasped it. Undoubtedly, sensuality
       has an affinity with dance, and it was pervasive in jazz and in
       the lyrics, but this became a means of judging it as void of
       morality, and even aesthetics, reduced to being inferior to
       "high German culture".[6]
       ...
       This burgeoning hatred of jazz and its subculture infected the
       entire Nazi party structure that Adolf Hitler and his followers
       were trying so desperately to erect.[6][/quote]
       As for Hitler himself:
       [quote]Even though he never publicly spoke out against jazz
       specifically in the Weimar Republic, one can infer that Hitler's
       sentiments toward jazz must have had strong ties to his
       perception of racial hierarchy, with jazz, not surprisingly,
       being at the very bottom.[6][/quote]
       No, one cannot infer this! If anything, that Hitler never
       explicitly criticized jazz despite how politically easy it would
       have been for him to do so gives us a reason to infer in the
       opposite direction. There is also no information that I have
       come across that positively suggests Hitler enjoyed jazz
       personally. However, it is not necessary to personally be a fan
       of something in order to not be hostile towards that thing.
       Another possibility is that Hitler disliked jazz for different
       reasons than the rightists did, but avoided talking about it in
       order to not cause confusion. It is actually possible to
       criticize jazz from the left, by arguing that it is an
       improvement over Western classical music but still shares some
       of its values, such as gratuitous
       complexity/decorativeness/showboating, and therefore needs
       further purification. From this perspective, the musical
       developments of the Counterculture era can be viewed positively
       as the removal of more Western aesthetical assumptions from
       composition. (I myself fall into this camp.)

       I have also read that Goebbels made several attempts to create a
       German version of jazz and swing due to popular demand for music
       that was more 'swinging'. His results were varied, but Charlie
       and His Orchestra lasted for the entire duration of the war.

       “Let us not lose sight of an alliance with the Arab League. We
       Germans have gotten into the habit of looking for friends only
       in Europe — if possible, among people of the same race. Perhaps
       that’s a mistake. Perhaps it’s much easier to find friends among
       other races. If the Arabs know that we—that is, a new
       Germany—can offer them understanding, support, and firm backing
       in their own struggles for freedom, and that we consider them
       competent to enter into alliances—welcome them, in fact—such a
       realization might have significant repercussions on our position
       in Europe as well. Furthermore, an alliance of interests between

       The differences between how Hitler's soldiers and the Western
       Allied soldiers treated the "colored" people was on how they
       treat them during the war.
       The Hitler's soldiers placed the "colored" people's volunteers
       on the battles which less brutal. Like how the "Free Arabian
       Legion"'s soldiers placed on a battle against the Greece
       partisans on the territory of Greece. The "SS Handschar" Muslim
       legion wo are placed on a battle against the Communist partisans
       on the territory of Balkans. The "white" soldiers from Germany
       and her other "white" volunteers were kept placed in primary and
       large battle, like on Battle of Moscow, Battle of Kursk, Battle
       of Normandy, Battle of Italy, and other famous war theatres
       The Western powers, like French for example, placed the
       "colored" troops on the frontline of battle and got segregrated
       from the "white" French counterparts. And they got task to large
       battle against the difficult enemy positions. So, the French
       "white" troops will saved from large cassualties. During their
       succeed on defeating the German troops and pushed them back.
       They all got removed from the frontline and changed with the
       "white" French troops who almost did not do anything to succeed
       the war. That phenomena was happened during "Liberation of
       France" during 1944
