>>10718274An official party handbook and what happened on the ground are two different things, I don't know what it says and it does not really matter as we know a lot about the atrocities that occurred. Besides the nazis didn't have an authoritative say in regards to nation/racial things, who were they but a bunch of criminals in power? Their opinions mean little, their false pity means nothing. From table talks we also know of the perverted and maniac world the nazis had.
>In setting up the educational system, the same principles apply to both Eastern territories and any other colonies. We do not want any of this enlightenment nonsense propagated by an advance guard of parsons ! What is the use of talking about progress to people like that? Jodl is quite right when he says that notices in the Ukrainian language "Beware of the Trains" are superfluous; what on earth does it matter if one or two more locals get run over by the trains?
>I am in favour of teaching a little German in the schools simply because this will facilitate our administration. Other- wise every time some German instruction is disobeyed, the local inhabitant will come along with the excuse that he "didn't understand". For the same reason, the Russian script must be replaced by the Latin. The greatest possible mistake we could make would be to take the local population too much under the wing of the State ; and to avoid all danger of our own people becoming too soft-hearted and too humane towards them, we must keep the German colonies strictly separated from the local inhabitants.
