Guest Babra Posted February 3, 2000 Share Posted February 3, 2000 Max, if you can find "Diary of a Man in Despair" by Friederich Percyval Reck-Malleczewen (No ISBN on it, sorry) then by all means pick it up. It has some musings on the character of Hitler by a man who met him close up. Excellent stuff. ------------------ Floreat Jerboa ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
von Lucke Posted February 3, 2000 Share Posted February 3, 2000 "I have given orders to my Death Units to exterminate without mercy or pity men, women and children belonging to the Polish-speaking race. It is only in this manner that we can acquire the vital territory which we need. After all, who remembers today the extermination of the Armenians?" --- Adolf Hitler, 22 August 1939 From 1915 to 1916 the Ottoman Empire conducted a pogrom of extermination against the Christian Armenian minority within Muslim Turkey. Starting with 100,000 conscripts within their own army, by the end of 1916 somewhere between 1.5 to 2 million Armenians were "relocated" (ie; marched into the desert and shot) and their property and estates where claimed by the government. "Those who cannot remember history are doomed to repeat it." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
