Hitler was a racist as long as it was in his interest to indoctrinate. He persecuted Slavic people in Poland and Russia, but not in Bulgaria and Croatia which crucially sided with him. These are blanket statements and assumptions. This of course does not stand in his favour, as it clearly explains his politicant logic and practice had little to do with consistency and integrity, meaning, he preached one thing, actively pursued something else.
QatariLady: The Mein Kampf is a drab collection of antiquated political axioms of tit-for-tat vengeance, and while he does raise some valid points (after all this was a man who wasn't stupid by any stretch of the imagination, he was completely insane), these are merely tools to push forth a brutal and deplorable set of ideals, typical of a scorned reactionary that the mouthy Austrian was... The only thing worthy of admiration about Germany in that period is the rigor, ingenuity and work ethic, which were sadly utilized for all the wrong purposes. And a certain amount of knightly officers who despite everything kept their conscience and humanity in the worst of circumstances, Oskar Schindlers and the like...
birds of a feather flock together ;)
