Haj Amin met Adolph Hitler exactly 70 years ago

2. . . . the German armies would in the course of this struggle reach the southern exit from Caucasus.
3. . . . Germany’s objective would then be solely the destruction of the Jewish element residing in the Arab sphere under the protection of British power.

The Grand Mufti thanked him. . . .
