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?”
I do. The Turks thought we’d forget but they must be held accountable for their genocidal ways. It was absolute genocide, no matter if they prefer to call it jihad.
The European and American allies post W.W.I never even considered the annihilation of the Armenians -- they should have but did not IIRC what little history of that period I know.
Wait.. is that it? Where did I say that there was no annihilation of the Armenians? Is that what provoked your insults? You think I am saying that it did not happen?
Indeed...the only difference between the holocaust and the Armenian Genocide was the difference in technology. Both are equally horrific.
