An interesting quote from Hitler

[MrFun]

"Since the Civil War, in which the Southern States were conquered, against all historical logic and sound sense, the American people have been in a condition of political and popular decay . . . . The beginnings of a great new social order based on the principle of slavery and inequality were destroyed by that war, and with them also the embryo of a future truly great America." ***END QUOTE



Ok, I have never known about this quote from Adolf Hitler before. Does anyone have any knowledge of this particular quote? Such as--when did he state this? And in what context did he state this--in the years when he was still grabbing power, or in the midst of World War II?


When I first read this quote, I found it somewhat disturbing . . . . . .

Bushwhacked!

So Bush and Hitler have something else in common...

[BeBMan]

No, don't know it - but Hitler is not terribly known for making sense.....

[MrFun]

Damn you peons! What good are you for if you can't provide the information I want?

probably in his unpublished unedited 'sequal' to mein kampf in which he blathers extensively about the US and many other topics he was equally ignorant of.

what a stupid quote.

Hitler was a moron.

[MrFun]

So then where did you get information about this unpublished, uneditted work, Geronimo?


Can you cite any source about this particular work?

[BeBMan]

Yeah, we know. But he was Austrian

that might be it. I was reading an article about that (maybe it was posted here). He has a lot of talk about the U.S. in it.

So stop teasing me and tell me where I can locate information on this piece of work that Hitler wrote but never completed.

[BeBMan]

Well, is there nothing about it where you found the quote? And aren't you at a uni, or did I misunderstand that? Can't you search there for it (uni libraries or so)....No idea else....

[Ted Striker]

Isn't there a Google Scholar search now?

what part of unpublished didn't you get.

It wasn't published. In fact, there is still some dispute over the authenticity of it. I believe only the egghead scientists have access to it right now.

Oh I can cite the source from where I got the quote, but my source does not tell me the historical context in which Hitler stated the quote in the OP. Here is the source from which I got the quote:

A New Birth of Freedom: Abraham Lincoln and the Coming of the Civil War
by Harry V. Jaffa

You know how some historians provide a sampling of quotes from various people right on the first page of each chapter? Well, this quote from Adolf Hitler is used on the first page of Chapter 2 of the above book I cited.

But there is no date provided by Jaff as to when Hitler stated the quote in the OP.
