heh, speaking of shameless plugs I just told my friend (who was bugging me because he was bored at work) to go read you instead.
Fascinating stuff, I didn't really know the details of the 'honorary Aryan' status. Although I think that could just as much have been a way of saying "I'll deal with you later" since the one thing the Nazi party was not was militarily stupid, they did their best to minimise the number of fronts they were fighting on. In any case, I believe that Mein Kampf points strongly towards Hitler having planned the destruction of the Jews from the outset. If Israel had been created a decade earlier the Jews would have been strongly encouraged to emigrate purely so that they would stop contaminating Germany, and after the Third Reich was well established in Europe they could then go after the rest of their racial enemies.
