Much of what I read about Hitler in the mainstream media seems kinda black and white. This paragraph of the Economist article, for example &quot;Woven into the prose are crude Social Darwinism and anti-Semitism that resonated even beyond Germany, as well as hints of the author’s murderous potential. Having been gassed by the British in the first world war, Hitler writes: if some of the “Hebrew corrupters of the people had been held under poison gas, as happened to hundreds of thousands of our very best German workers in the field, the sacrifice of millions at the front would not have been in vain.”&quot;<p>It is of course not mentioned that initially the Nazis simply wanted the Jews to leave Germany. Hitler himself said that if some other country would accept them, he would send them on luxury cruise ships. But of course, countries like the UK or US did not want lots of Jews to immigrate to them.
