Did you know that Adolf Hitler got his inspiration from America?
Hitler was obsessed with Manifest Destiny and the conquest of the American West. He saw Eastern Europe as Germany’s version of the West and viewed the Volga River as his Mississippi River.
He looked at how the U.S. government cleared millions of Indigenous peoples off their ancestral lands through mass slaughter and forced displacement. He used that exact blueprint for expansion into Europe. He noted in his journals that Slavic and Jewish populations should be treated like “Redskins”.
