Not quite getting the Herrenvolk thing
"But we like you...you wouldn't hurt us, would you?"
"After the first days of jubilation were over, we were aghast to learn that while I am eligible to vote, my wife, being stigmatized and inferior because of her Jewish heritage, must stand aside," wrote Franz Ippich of Salzburg."So I decided ... to ask you: Please erase the dishonorable, Jewish heritage of my wife, which is not her own fault ... (by doing so) my wife's and my offspring will become your loyal and enthusiastic followers who will bless you for all your life."
The letter went unanswered, and Ippich fled with his wife for South America.
From a recently-published collection of letters to Hitler.
