(American Experience PBS) In 1938, Pres. Franklin D. Roosevelt broadcast a personal appeal (order) to German Furher Hitler, demanding he halt any further aggression. In reply, American pro-war propagandists say Hitler ridiculed the American president with withering sarcasm.


Hitler rally at the Reichstag, 1939
Hitler's prophecy was a statement first made 82 years ago by German leader Adolf Hitler in a speech at the Reichstag on Jan. 30, 1939:

"If international finance Jewry inside and outside Europe should succeed in plunging the nations once more into a world war, the result will be not the Bolshevization of the earth and thereby the victory of Jewry, but the annihilation of the Jewish race in Europe."

Will you be impeached? - Nah, I'm good.
Hitler continued to invoke the prophecy throughout the war and referenced it in his last will and testament, such that the prophecy became a leitmotif of the Final Solution and is the best-known phrase from Hitler's speeches.

The historical significance of the prophecy is debated: Intentionalists view it as proof of Hitler's previously developed master plan to systematically murder the European Jews, while functionalists argue that "annihilation" was neither meant nor understood to mean mass murder, at least initially. It is also cited as evidence that Germans were aware that Jews were being exterminated. More
