Michael, it sounds like you give a lot of credence to Hitler's ravings as sincere expressions of his belief, and not as just the same sort of appeal to the sentiment of the masses that contemporary politicians aim for when they publish books (or the pretense of being a born-again Christian that a semi-literate politician might use instead). But in those ravings he blamed "the Jews" for starting the first World War, and in the one you quoted he expressed fear that they would start another one. Did you suddenly drop the belief in his sincerity there, and assume that he didn't actually fear world war but rather intended to start it?
