Hitler's Table Talk

BIRTHRATE IN INDIA AND RUSSIA
2O7
I had extraordinary luck, but the German people had
even more. The seven infantry divisions and three cavalry
divisions of 1933 would not have stopped the tidal wave
from the East!
108 i5th January 1942, evening
Churchill's return from U.S.A.—Miracles don't happen—
Over-population and vaccination.
On his return to England, Churchill will have no difficulty in
getting round the House of Commons—but the people whose
fortunes are in India won't let the wool be pulled over their
eyes. Already an English newspaper is so bold as to write:
"Send everything to India, without bothering about Russia or
North Africa." Nowadays the possessing class has only one
idea: "How are we to save the Empire?" It's not impossible
that a miracle may take place and England may withdraw
from the war. A year ago she could have made peace and
retained all her prestige. In this war, in the event of victory,
only America will gain an advantage. In the event of defeat,
it's England who will be the only loser.
I read to-day that India at present numbers three hundred
and eighty-eight million inhabitants, which means an increase of
fifty-five millions during the last ten years. It's alarming. We
are witnessing the same phenomenon in Russia. The women
there have a child every year. The chief reason for this increase
is the reduction in mortality due to the progress made by the
health services. What are our doctors thinking of? Isn't it
enough to vaccinate the whites? So much the worse for the
whites who won't let themselves be vaccinated ! Let 'em croak !
All the same, because of these people's fixed ideas, we can't
sterilise all the natives.
Bormannput in that of the fifty families in Obersalzberg, twenty-four
had children in 1941.
That brings us close to the Russian birthrate! I've always
said that the only problem for us is the housing problem. The
children will come of themselves. A great convenience for the
parents is blocks of buildings with communal gardens inside,
