It is not true that I or anybody else in Germany wanted the war in the year 1939. It was desired and provoked entirely by those international statesmen who were either of Jewish origin or who worked in the Jewish interest. I have made so many offers for the reduction and limitation of armaments, which posterity cannot explain away for all eternity, that the responsibility for the outbreak of this war cannot rest on me. Furthermore, I never desired that after the first terrible World War a second war should arise against England or even against America. Centuries may pass, but out of the ruins of our cities and art-monuments the hatred will arise and be constantly renewed against the people which is alone ultimately responsible: International Jewry and its assistants.
