BERLIN (Reuters) - Adolf Hitler personally intervened to protect a Jewish man who had been his commanding officer during World War One, according to a letter unearthed by the Jewish Voice from Germany newspaper.
The letter, composed in August 1940 by Heinrich Himmler, head of the Nazis' feared paramilitary SS, said Ernst Hess, a judge, should be spared persecution or deportation "as per the Fuehrer's wishes."

Contrary to conventional views, Rigg reveals that a startlingly large number of German military men were classified by the Nazis as Jews or "partial-Jews" (Mischlinge), in the wake of racial laws first enacted in the mid-1930s. Rigg demonstrates that the actual number was much higher than previously thought--perhaps as many as 150,000 men, including decorated veterans and high-ranking officers, even generals and admirals.

Hated jews? He was in the process of gathering them all up and putting them in Palestine so they could have their own homeland. That is not hate. Hitler was giving them what they wanted. Sure, he used some for slave labor and did medical experiments on a few, but mostly they were well treated. And only 1.5 million died due to lack of resources. There was a war going on at the time.

History books shows that Hitler hated Jews but the question is did he really hate all Jews?

I knew racist white kids back in the day who had the odd black friend... "nah he's alright he's one of the gooduns" they would say...
They would still go out on a Friday night looking black or asian kids to beat up. They were still filthy racist scum bags.

Jewish Deaths
The Holocaust is the term generally used to describe the genocide of approximately six million European Jews during World War II, Martin Gilbert estimates 5.7 million (78%) of the 7.3 million Jews in German occupied Europe were Holocaust victims.[25] Other estimates for Holocaust deaths range between 4.9 to 6.0 million Jews.[26]
Statistical breakdown of Jewish Dead:
In Nazi extermination camps: According to Polish Institute of National Remembrance (IPN) researchers 2,830,000 Jews were murdered in the Nazi death camps( 500,000 Belzec; 150,000 Sobibor; 850,000 Treblinka; 150,000 Chełmno; 1,100,000 Auschwitz; 80,000 Majdanek.[4]Raul Hilberg puts the Jewish death toll in the death camps, including Romanian Transnistria at 3.0 million.[27]
In The USSR by the Einsatzgruppen Raul Hilberg puts the Jewish death toll in the area of the mobile kiling groups at 1.4 million.[28]
Aggravated deaths in the Ghettos of Nazi-occupied Europe- Raul Hilberg puts the Jewish death toll in the Ghettos at 700,000.[29]
Yad Vashem has identified the names of four million Jewish Holocaust dead.[30]
Some scholars maintain that the definition of the Holocaust should also include the other victims persecuted and killed by the Nazis.[33][34][35][36][37] Using this definition, the total number of Holocaust victims is between 11 million and 17 million people
World War II fatality statistics vary, with estimates of total dead ranging from 50 million to over 70 million.[1] The sources cited in this article document an estimated death toll in World War II of 62 to 78 million, making it the deadliest war in world history in absolute terms of total dead but not in terms of deaths relative to the world population.
