English Translation
49-5a We were faced with the question of solving the Jews= question in 1933. That we were opponents of Jews had already spoken around the world= until 1933. Thus, we could sense the disadvantages of anti-Semitism in world propaganda anyway; so we could confidently secure the advantages and expose the Jews. If, anyway, we were fought and slandered in the world as opponents of Jews - why should we only have to accept the disadvantages for ourselves, but not at the same time the advantages, namely the exclusion of the Jews from the theatre, the film, the public life and the administration. If we were then attacked even further as Jews opponents, we could at least say with a good conscience: It is worth it, we have some of it. You, gentlemen, have done an insight into the kingdom, and I have attached great importance to the fact that you made this journey before I got together with you=. You have seen the kingdom in war, and you will be able to imagine what it will mean in peace, and then our great populous empire, alongside Italy, will practically take over the leadership of Europe.
