Sure, and you’re right to contextualize. I haven’t read Rothmann’s other works, but he has a co-author on this, and I didn’t find too much to quibble with in this book, in terms of sloppy history or unfair inferences. In some ways, I look at it the way I look at works by Christopher Hitchens. I often disagree with him, but there’s no doubting that he’s an intelligent and provocative commentator. I was thinking about picking up his book on athesim. Anyway, I think this book can be judged on its own merits, and I did find it to be very interesting and illuminating with regard to the Arab-NAZI connection. For instance, I did not know that there were entire Muslim SS units! Worth the read if you ask me.
For most purposes the Arabic speaking populations in the region continue to have several generations to go to overcome the health and other disabilities the 1000 year occupation by the Turks created.
You can look up "mammalian patterning" and "human patterning". If your grandmother was small and half starved, you may also be small and weak. It's a phenomenon under intense study. Arabs definitely show the symptoms. As much as the Arabs might have wished to join the SS, they simply weren't fit for use in a modern military force ~ maybe for guard duty ~ hence the pictures of the fellows lined up marching around.
