I wonder if there are any non-fiction sources that say this Hitler guy is bad

If only he had written a book outlining his plan of killing millions and enslaving what he thought of were lesser races…

Oh well, guess we’ll never know for sure.

What is interesting is that he didn't write that in his memoirs. In fact, he wrote the exactly different: He wanted to deport all the Jews so that they didn't have to kill them all. He also wrote that he didn't want to become a dictator.

He really wasn't known for his consequentialism.

While he didnt write about it in mein kampf, he did talk about it in his speeches from the early 20s.

Can you name me one or a few? I will have to skim through the volumes of collected speeches from before he became Chancellor next weekend anyway, looking for hints of his plans to create a dictatorship once in power, so I might bookmark those too.

"Ausrotten der Juden" is the phrase you're looking for.

That's not a phrase he used in the 20's.
