Following up on the Hitler quote translated by Milton Meltzer (see below), here is the same quote translated
by Joachim Fest in his book HITLER (1973):

"When I send the flower of German youth into the steel hail of the next war without feeling the slightest regret over the precious German blood that is being spilled, should I not also have the right to eliminate millions of an inferior race that multiplies like vermin?"

IT'S CLEAR, AGAIN, THAT HITLER'S JUSTIFICATION OF THE FINAL SOLUTION GREW OUT HIS UNDERSTANDING OF THE IDEOLOGY OF WAR

So many gigantic books written telling the story of the the Holocaust.
But why did it happen? The logic of the Holocaust grew out of on the logic of warfare

ALBERT EINSTEIN

“I soon learned to scent out what was able to lead to fundamentals--and to turn aside from everything else, from the multitude of things that clutter up the mind.”

“A theory is the more impressive the greater the simplicity of its premises."

Never to Forget: the Jews of the Holocaust (1991). Milton Meltzer (p. 73). “By the end of the winter of 1941-42, more than 90% of the Jews trapped by the Germans east of the Soviet border were dead. The extermination of men, women, and children did not disturb Hitler:

If I don't mind sending the pick of the German people into the hell of war without regret for the shedding of valuable German blood, then I have naturally the right to destroy millions of men of inferior races who increase like vermin.
