Hitler's "Inspiration"

"It is readily acknowledged that Indian children lose their natural
resistance to illness by habitating so closely in these schools, and that
they die at a much higher rate than in their villages. But this alone does
not justify a change in the policy of this Department, which is geared
towards the FINAL SOLUTION OF OUR INDIAN PROBLEM." (Department of Indian
Affairs Superintendent D.C. Scott to B.C. Indian Agent-General Major D.
McKay, DIA Archives, RG 10 series). April 12, 1910 (emphasis added))

According to James Pool in his "Hitler and His Secret Partners":



Hitler drew another example of mass murder from American history. Since his
youth he had been obsessed with the Wild West stories of Karl May. He viewed
the fighting between cowboys and Indians in racial terms. In many of his
speeches he referred with admiration to the victory of the white race in
settling the American continent and driving out the inferior peoples, the
Indians. With great fascination he listened to stories, which some of his
associates who had been in America told him about the massacres of the
Indians by the U.S. Calvary.



He was very interested in the way the Indian population had rapidly declined
due to epidemics and starvation when the United States government forced
them to live on the reservations. He thought the American government's
forced migrations of the Indians over great distances to barren reservation
land was a deliberate policy of extermination. Just how much Hitler took
from the American example of the destruction of the Indian nations his hard
to say; however, frightening parallels can be drawn. For some time Hitler
considered deporting the Jews to a large 'reservation' in the Lubin area
where their numbers would be reduced through starvation and  disease. (p.
273-274).



And:



The next morning Hitler's 'plan' was put in writing and sent out to the
German occupation authorities as 'The Fuehrer's Guidelines for the
Government of the Eastern Territories: ' the Slavs are to work for us.
Insofar as we don't need them, they may die. Therefore compulsory
vaccination and German health services are superfluous. The fertility of the
Slavs is undesirable. They may use contraceptives And practice abortion, the
more the better. Education is dangerous. It is sufficient... if they can
count up to a hundred. At best an education is admissible which produces
useful servants for us. Every educated person is a future enemy. Religion we
leave to them as a means of diversion. As to food, they are not to get more
than necessary. We are the masters, we come first.'



Always contemptuous of the Russians, Hitler said: 'For them the word
'liberty' means the right to wash only on feast-days. If we arrive bringing
soft soap, we'll obtain no sympathy...There's only one duty: to Germanize
this country by the immigration of Germans, and to look upon the natives as
Redskins.' Having been a devoted reader of Karl May's books on the American
West as a youth, Hitler frequently referred to the Russians as 'Redskins'.
He saw a parallel between his effort to conquer and colonize land in Russia
with the conquest of the American West by the white man and the subjugation
of the Indians or 'Redskins'. 'I don't see why', he said, 'a German who eats
a piece of bread should torment himself with the idea that the soil that
produces this bread has been won by the sword. When we eat from Canada, we
don't think about the despoiled Indians." (James Pool, Ibid, pp. 254-255)



And from a speech by Heinrich Himmler (date not given):



I consider that in dealing with members of a foreign country, especially
some Slav nationality...in such a mixture of peoples there will always be
some racially good types. Therefore I think that it is our duty to take
their children with us, to remove them from their environment, if necessary,
by robbing or stealing them... (Telford Taylor "Anatomy of the Nuremberg
Trials", Alfred A Knopf, N.Y. 1992, p. 203)



And from John Toland, preeminent biographer of Adolf Hitler:



Hitler's concept of concentration camps as well as the practicality of
genocide owed much, so he claimed, to his studies of English and United
States history. He admired the camps for Boer prisoners in South Africa And
for the Indians in the Wild West; and often praised to his inner circle the
efficiency of America's extermination-by starvation and uneven combat-of the
'Red Savages' who could not be tamed by captivity. (John Toland, "Adolf
Hitler" Vol II, p 802, Doubleday & Co, 1976)
