Did you know that Hitler was a Zionist, too?
"One aspect of the laws, now long forgotten but which attracted
considerable
attention at the time, was the fact that from then on only two flags were
to
be permitted in the Third Reich, the swastika and the blue-and-white

ZIONISM IN THE AGE OF DICTATORS
Chapter 7
HITLER LOOKS AT ZIONISM
... Hans Frank, then the Bavarian Minister of Justice, later the
Governor-General of Poland, told the Nuremberg parteitag that the best
solution to the Jewish question, for Jews and Gentiles, alike, was the
Palestinian National Home.[(12)]
The Nuremberg Laws of September 1935, the finishing touches of Germany's
pre-Second World War anti-Jewish legislation, were defended by the Nazis
as
an expression of their pro-Zionism. They had at least the tacit approval
of
the wiser heads amongst the Jews themselves. As it happened --and
naturally
it was more than mere coincidence-- every nationwide Jewish organ in
Germany
was under temporary ban when the laws were promulgated --except the
Rundschau. It published the codified restrictions with a commentary by
Alfred Berndt, the editor-in-chief of the German News Bureau. Berndt
recalled that, only two weeks before, all the speakers at the World
Zionist
Congress in Lucerne had reiterated that the Jews of the world were to be
correctly seen as a separate people unto themselves regardless of where
they
lived. Well then, he explained, all Hitler had done was to meet 'the
demands
of the International Zionist Congress by making the Jews who live in
Germany
a national minority'.[(21)]
One aspect of the laws, now long forgotten but which attracted
considerable
attention at the time, was the fact that from then on only two flags were
to
be permitted in the Third Reich, the swastika and the blue-and-white
Zionist
banner. This, of course, greatly excited the ZVfD, who hoped that this was
a
sign that Hitler was moving closer to an accommodation with them.
'Our Official Good Will Go with Them'
By 1934 the SS had become the most pro-Zionist element in the Nazi Party.
Other Nazis were even calling them 'soft' on the Jews. Baron von
Mildenstein
had returned from his six-month visit to Palestine as an ardent Zionist
sympathiser. Now as the head of the Jewish Department of the SS's Security
Service, he started studying Hebrew and collecting Hebrew records; when
his
former companion and guide, Kurt Tuchler, visited his office in 1934, he
was
greeted by the strains of familiar Jewish folk tunes.[(16)] There were
maps
on the walls showing the rapidly increasing strength of Zionism inside
Germany.[(17)] Von Mildenstein was as good as his word: he not only wrote
favourably about what he saw in the Zionist colonies in Palestine; he also
persuaded Goebbels to run the report as a massive twelve-part series in
his
own Der Angriff (The Assault), the leading Nazi propaganda organ (26
September to 9 October 1934). His stay among the Zionists had shown the SS
man 'the way to curing a centuries-long wound on the body of the world:
the
Jewish question'. It was really amazing how some good Jewish boden under
his
feet could enliven the Jew: 'The soil has reformed him and his kind in a
decade. This new Jew will be a new people.'[(18)] To commemorate the
Baron's
expedition, Goebbels had a medal struck: on one side the swastika, on the
other the Zionist star.[19)]
In May 1935 Reinhardt Heydrich, who was then the chief of the SS Security
Service, later the infamous 'Protector' of the Czech lands incorporated
into
the Reich, wrote an article, 'The Visible Enemy', for Das Schwarze Korps,
the official organ of the SS. In it Heydrich assessed the various
tendencies
among the Jews, comparing the assimilationists quite invidiously with the
Zionists. His partiality towards Zionism could not have been expressed in
more unmistakable terms:
After the Nazi seizure of power our racial laws did in fact curtail
considerably the immediate influence of Jews. But... the question as he
sees
it is still: How can we win back our old position... We must separate
Jewry
into two categories... the Zionists and those who favor being assimilated.
The Zionists adhere to a strict racial position and by emigrating to
Palestine they are helping to build their own Jewish state.
Heydrich wished them a fond farewell: 'The time cannot be far distant when
Palestine will again be able to accept its sons who have been lost to it
for
over a thousand years. Our good wishes together with our official good
will
go with them.'[(20)]

Contrary to conventional views, Rigg reveals that a startlingly large
number
of German military men were classified by the Nazis as Jews or
"partial-Jews" (Mischlinge), in the wake of racial laws first enacted in
the
mid-1930s. Rigg demonstrates that the actual number was much higher than
previously thought--perhaps as many as 150,000 men, including decorated
veterans and high-ranking officers, even generals and admirals.
