“The Slavs are to work for us [Germans]. Insofar as we do not need them, they [Slavs] may die. Therefore, compulsory vaccination and German health service are superfluous. The fertility of the Slavs is undesirable. They may use contraceptives or practice... abortion, the more the better. Education is dangerous. It is enough if they can count up to 100. At best an education which produces useful coolies for us is admissible. Every educated person is a future enemy. Religion we leave to them as a means of diversion. As for food, they will not get any more than is necessary. We are the masters; we come first.”

«If he [Adolf Hitler] could wish the German people one thing, he remarked on another occasion, IT WOULD BE TO HAVE A WAR EVERY FIFTEEN TO TWENTY YEARS. If reproached for the loss of 200,000 lives, he would reply that he had enlarged the German nation by 2½ million, and felt justified in demanding the sacrifice of the lives of a tenth. ‘Life is horrible (grausam). Coming into being, existing, and passing away, there’s always a killing (ein Töten). Everything that is born must later die. Whether it’s through illness, accident, or war, that remains the same.’»

It's astonishing to me that there are so many idiotic Telegram Channels dedicated to Nazism/Hitler. Imagine thinking a mass murderer of Europeans and plunderer of European cultures is somehow "based" and worthy of daily admiration. These people are dillusional and the antithesis of what they think they are projecting. Hitlerites are under a spell of cult of personality.

«Heinz Reinefarth received an extraordinary three-part order from [Heinrich] Himmler: all Polish combatants were to be shot; all Polish non-combatants, including women and children, were also to be shot; and the city itself was to be razed to the ground. The police formations and the SS Special Commando Dirlewanger carried out these orders to the letter on 5 and 6 August 1944, shooting some forty thousand civilians in the course of those two days alone. They had a military objective: they were to march through the west-central Wola neighborhood and relieve German headquarters in the Saxon Gardens. They lifted the Home Army’s barricades on Wola Street by marching Poles in front of them and forcing them to do the work, using women and children as human shields in the meantime...»

Hitler was not a great moralist he was a piece of shit, Hitler was FULLY AND COMPLETELY AWARE that Ernst Rohm was g*y. But he had no issues with it, I know that Nazis will say that Rohm was killed, yes Hitler even used Rohm's g*yness as a reason, but the real reason behind Rohm's execution was that he was trying to take over Army, it was a power struggle before this power struggle started Hitler DEFENDED Rohm.
So UNTIL this power struggle began, Hitler had ZERO problem with Ernst Rohm being g*y.
Now what kind of a person would defend a g*y???
No person with an ounce of morality would ever defend g*y, but Hitler definitely did.
«In the battle for power that commenced with Röhm, Hitler had no qualms about publicising the former’s homosexuality and using it as a weapon against him. In mid-May, he had a one-to-one discussion with Goebbels, after which the propaganda minister noted: “Complaint about Röhm and his personnel policies under paragraph 175. Revolting.” Previously Hitler had shielded Röhm from attacks on his well-known homosexual leanings. In a decree in early February 1931, Hitler had particularly emphasised that the SA “was not a moral institution for the education of well-born daughters but a band of rough-hewn fighters.” Members’ private lives were only an issue “if they ran truly contrary to the National Socialist world view.” Moreover, during the presidential elections in March 1932, when the left-wing Welt am Montag and Münchener Post newspapers published compromising letters written by the SA chief of staff, Hitler had sworn: “Lieutenant Colonel Röhm will remain my chief of staff. Even the dirtiest and most repulsive smear campaigns will not change that fact in the slightest.” In the spring and early summer of 1934, however, Hitler tried to use Röhm’s homosexuality as a noose to hang him with.»

«In February 1944, as the German occupation in Russia neared its end, one of [Alfred] Rosenberg’s closest collaborators gave a damning indictment of their overall approach, referring to
But it was [Adolf] Hitler himself who had laid down the lines of this policy at the crucial meeting he had held with [Hermann] Göring, Rosenberg, [Martin] Bormann and Keitel two and a half years earlier at his Rastenburg headquarters in the Masurian forests. The date was 16 July 1941, and he was confident that the war would not last long, for the Wehrmacht had already won a number of crushing victories, while the Red Army was falling back so rapidly that hundreds of thousands of Soviet troops were being encircled and captured.
Hitler could scarcely have been blunter. He started the meeting by emphasizing that this was a campaign whose fruits would benefit GERMANY ALONE. In the short run, it might be tactically useful to play the role of liberators. But the important thing was to avoid superfluous declarations and, above all, for the Germans to know what they wanted as they divided up ‘this vast cake’. They needed to prevent any other military power emerging in the region, and beyond that, ‘first to rule, secondly to administer and thirdly to exploit’ the people and resources they found there. This was a programme for a colonial war of extraction. GERMANS SHOULD BE THE ONLY ONES TO BEAR ARMS; LOOKING TO OTHER NATIONALITIES FOR SUPPORT WAS A FALSE ILLUSION. Pacification would be achieved by ‘shooting everyone who looked in any way suspicious’.
As if all of this was not enough, a far cry from Rosenberg’s dreams of seeing Germany lead a coalition of Slavic states, his plans suffered a further blow when Hitler decided to truncate the Ukraine by attaching formerly Habsburg Galicia to the General Government and giving some of the southern Ukraine, including Odessa, to Romania. So much for winning over the Ukrainians. The lands between would exist SOLELY TO SERVE GERMANY, while the Germans themselves would ‘Europeanize’ the steppe, draining marshes, building motorways, establishing plantations and founding new ‘German towns’. ‘Two or three million men’ would come to live in them, Hitler predicted, ‘from Germany, Scandinavia, the Western countries and America’. In the past he had often argued that Europe had been harmed by the mass transatlantic migrations of the previous century; his policy would reverse the direction of the transcontinental flow and send millions eastwards. The ultimate result would be ‘to Germanise this country by the immigration of Germans and TO LOOK UPON THE NATIVES AS REDSKINS’»

From: Volker Ullrich, Hitler: Ascent 1889-1939
Reading through Hitler’s speeches from the period 1920–22, it seems amazing that he attracted larger and larger audiences with such repeated mantra-like phrases. But perhaps it was the monotonous repetition of his accusations, vows of revenge and promises for the future that was the key to his success. In the chapter in Mein Kampf that focuses on propaganda, Hitler wrote:
The receptivity of large masses is very limited. Their capacity to understand things is slight whereas their forgetfulness is great. Given this, effective propaganda must restrict itself to a handful of points, which it repeats as slogans as long as it takes for the dumbest member of the audience to get an idea of what they mean.
Hitler’s analysis was hardly original. In fact, it recalled a pre-war book by the Frenchman Gustave Le Bon entitled The Psychology of the Masses, which by 1919 was in its third edition. Like Hitler, Le Bon described the masses as stupid, egotistical, feminine, fickle, incapable of accepting criticism and ruled by uncontrollable urges. Hitler presumably became acquainted with Le Bon’s ideas through a book by the Munich neurologist J. R. Rossbach called The Soul of the Masses, which appeared in 1919 and quoted the Frenchman extensively.
IRONICALLY, THEREFORE, THE BEER-CELLAR RABBLE-ROUSER, WHO LIKED TO DEPICT HIMSELF AS A MAN OF THE PEOPLE, IN FACT DESPISED THE MASSES, WHICH HE REGARDED AS NOTHING MORE THAN A TOOL TO BE MANIPULATED TO ACHIEVE HIS POLITICAL AMBITIONS. In this respect, too, Hitler was no exception, but rather a mouthpiece of the cultural pessimism represented in particular by the authors associated with the “conservative revolution” in the Weimar Republic. Nonetheless, unlike those theoreticians, Hitler knew how to draw a mass audience, and that in turn attracted the interest of nationalistic conservatives.
