In this week’s episode of Breaking History, Gordon and I dive into the strange relationship Nazis have had with radical zionists from today’s Azovs to Himmler’s SS.
It's hard to believe, but yes, they absolutely were. Himmler at one point served as the head of the Reich's Office of Zionist Affairs. It makes sense when you think about it - Hitler wanted to deport every last Jew. in Germany and Zionist leaders were willing to do whatever it took to import as many European Jews (the overwhelming majority who were were not Zionists at that point) into Palestine by any means necessary.
Himmler and the SS were zionists?
AIn't things gettin a lil muddled here..
