Hitler's Table Talk

236 A FUTURE REFORMER OF NATIONAL SOCIALISM
In the p.o.w. camps, many are dying. It's not my fault. I
didn't want either the war or the p.o.w. camps. Why did the
Jew provoke this war?
A good three hundred or four hundred years will go by before
the Jews set foot again in Europe. They'll return first of all as
commercial travellers, then gradually they'll become emboldened
to settle here—the better to exploit us. In the next
stage, they become philanthropists, they endow foundations.
When a Jew does that, the thing is particularly noticed—for it's
known that they're dirty dogs. As a rule, it's the most rascally
of them who do that sort of thing. And then you'll hear these
poor Aryan boobies telling you : "You see, there are good Jews !"
Let's suppose that one day National Socialism will undergo a
change, and become used by a caste of privileged persons who
exploit the people and cultivate money. One must hope that
in that case a new reformer will arise and clean up the stables.

concentrate solely on those raw materials which one knows
one will have in time of war.
When the Four Year Plan was hatched, in 1936, circumstances
forced us to have recourse to substitute products.
One can have no idea what it takes, even only in optical
instruments, to equip an army of several million men.
One day the English will realise that they've nothing to gain
in Europe. Sixteen thousand millions of debts from the first
World War, to which have since been added nearly two
hundred thousand millions! The Conservatives must reckon
that, in order to gain a rapid success in Northern Norway, for
example, they would have to pay for this by abandoning India.
But they're not so mad as to envisage such a solution ! If they
want to save New Zealand and Australia, they can't let India go.
The English have two possibilities : either to give up Europe
