Page 329 "At the same time, [The remorseless advance of the German armies] the next phase of the deportation of Europe's Jews began. The evidence is that Hitler's intention was twofold--to establish a Jewish labor force for his grandiose plans in the east, and to hold them hostage. The 'Jewish hostage' motif appears again in late 1943 when Hitler forbade the liquidation of Rome's Jews: see also page 575).
Quotes from David Irving
Page 329-30 "On October 6, 1941, Hitler again pronounced at lunch, as Koeppen noted: 'All the Jews must be removed from the Protectorate--and not just to the Generalgouvnement but right on to the east'."
Page 330-1 "At this stage of the Jewish massacre it is possible to be more specific about the instigators, because on May 1, 1942, Greiser himself mentioned in a letter to Himmler that the current 'special treatment' program of the hundred thousand Jews in his own Gau had been authorized by Himmler 'with the agreement of' Heydrich. Hitler was not mentioned. Meanwhile, from mid-November 1941 onwards, the Reichsbahn trainloads of Jews--rounded up in Vienna, Brünn (Brdo), Bremen and Berlin--headed direct to Minsk, while others went to Warsaw, Kovno, and Riga. At Kovno and Riga the Jews were invariably shot soon after. At Minsk the Jews did not survive much longer. Richard Kube, Rosenberg's general commissioner of White Ruthenia, recorded on July 3, 1942, that 10,000 had been liquidated since the twenty-eighth, 'of which 6,500 were Russian Jews, old folk, women and children, with the rest unemployable Jews largely sent to Minsk from Vienna, Brünn, Bremen, and Berlin in November last year on the Führer's orders."
Page 331 "No documentary evidence exists that Hitler was aware that the Jews were massacred upon their arrival. His remarks noted by Bormann's adjutant Heinrich Heim later on October 25, 1941, indicated that he did not favor it: 'From the rostrum of the Reichstag I prophesied to Jewry that if war could not be avoided, the Jews would disappear from Europe. That race of criminals already had on its conscience the two million dead of the Great War [WWI] and now it has hundreds of thousands more.... 'I [Hitler] don't want to be bothered with the Jewish problem until the war is over'."
Eventually Hitler knew that Himmler was killing the Jews as fast as he could by shooting.
Page 332 "On November 30, 1941, he [Himmler] was summoned to the Wolf's Lair [Hitler's headquarters at that time] for a secret conference with Hitler, at which the fate of Berlin's Jews was clearly raised. At 1:30 P.M. Himmler was obliged to telephone from Hitler's bunker to Heydrich the explicit order that Jews were not to be liquidated; and the next day Himmler telephoned SS General Oswald Pohl, overall chief of the concentration camp system, with the order: 'Jews are to stay where they are'."
Page 332 "Yet the blood purge continued. The extermination program had gained a momentum of its own. Hans Frank, announcing to his Lublin cabinet on December 16, 1941, that Heydrich was calling a big conference in January on the expulsion of Europe's Jews to the east, irritably exclaimed, 'Do you imagine they're going to be housed in neat estates in the Baltic provinces! In Berlin'--and with Hitler in East Prussia this can only be taken as a reference to Heydrich's agencies--'they tell us: why the caviling? We've got no use for them either.... Liquidate them yourselves'!"
Page 391 "Upon arrival at Auschwitz and Treblinka, four [Jews] in every ten were pronounced fit for work; the rest were exterminated with a minimum of concealment."
Page 391-2 "In a letter of June 26 [1942] it became clear that Himmler was anxious to conceal the massacre, for Globocnik was quoted as being eager to get it over with as quickly as possible in case one day force majeure should prevent them completing it: 'You yourself, Reichsführer, once mentioned that you felt the job should be done as quickly as possible if only for reasons of concealment.' The concealment was almost perfect, and Himmler's papers reveal how he pulled the wool over Hitler's eyes."
Page 392-3 "On July 19 [1942], three days after seeing Hitler, Himmler ordered the 'resettlement' of the entire Jewish population of the Generalgouvnement to be completed by the last day of 1942. Each day after July 22 a trainload of five thousand Jews left Warsaw for the extermination center at Treblinka;...where they will be settled in ghettos or labor camps and put to work."
Page 436 "His [Himmler] report to Hitler for the same period listed 16,553 'partisan accomplices and suspects' captured, of which 14,257 were executed; an additional 363,211 Russian Jews were claimed to have been executed under the same heading."
Page 463 "On December 4, 1942, the Gestapo secretly announced the 'taking out' of a major arsenal of the Polish underground in Warsaw: the four-room house harbored not only the usual quantities of explosives and detonators, but also 'three flaskes of typhus bacilli, seventeen sealed rubber tubes presumably containing bacteria, and one fountain pen with instructions for use for spreading bacteria; a captured document revealed that twenty pounds of arsenic had also passed through the house."
Page 503 "Europe's 10,000,000 [Jews] had dwindled by 45 per cent since 1937, owing to emigration, the high natural mortality rate, and the enforced 'evacuation' that had begun with the prohibition of emigration in late 1941."
Page 555 "Admiral Dönitz shared Rommel's sentiments about Hitler writing with trembling hand after forty-eight hours at the Wolf's Lair: 'The enormous energy the Führer radiates his unerring conviction, his prophetic analysis of the situation in Italy--all these have very much brought home to us these last few days what poor worms we all are in comparison to the Führer'!"
Page 558 "Hitler ordered him [Himmler] to deport all Jews, discounting warnings that this might increase the political unrest in Denmark; several thousand Jews escaped to Sweden, but 477 were rounded up by the Germans and taken to the Theresienstadt concentration camp in October."
Page 630 "At Klessheim castle in March 1944, Horthy had assented to Hitler's demand that Hungary turn over her Jews to Germany. Working from Budapest, a task force under SS Colonel Adolf Eichmann deported four hundred thousand Jews over the next four-months."
Page 630 "When Hitler instructed him [Himmler] in April to provide two 100,000-strong contingents of Hungarian Jews to work on Saur's bombproof tank and fighter factories in the Protectorate and elsewhere, the Reichsführer SS expressed unconcealed displeasure at this 'singular' arrangement."
