From: JEFFREY HERF: The Jewish Enemy.
If not identified and destroyed, Jewry would annihilate the German people. As a result, Hitler publicly declared on numerous occasions that they would “exterminate” Jews before the Jews could exterminate the Germans.
Anti-Semitism was at the center of Hitler’s attack on Roosevelt. “We know what powers stand behind Roosevelt. It is the eternal Jew who thinks his time has come to inflict on us what we shudder to see and must experience in Soviet Russia.” It was, he continued, “Franklin Roosevelt’s and the Jews’ intention to destroy one state after another.” The war was a matter of the “existence or nonexistence” of nations.
If given the opportunity, Roosevelt and the Jews “would now exterminate National Socialist Germany.” The United States under Roosevelt was striving for unlimited world domination” and would deny Germany, Italy, and Japan the necessities of national survival. For the “National Socialists,” he continued, it was “no surprise that the Anglo-Saxon Jewish capitalist world [found] itself in a common front with Bolshevism.” This was the anti-Nazi coalition of the Weimar era projected onto a world stage.”
