Former Hitler youth makes comparisons about Hitler and Islam

Author Hilmar von Campe, a former Hitler Youth member and German soldier, sees shocking parallels between Nazi Germany under Hitler and radical Islam. He has written an autobiography describing his life as an active participant in -- and his remorse over -- what he calls the greatest tragedy of the 20th century.



In the book, titled How Was it Possible?, von Campe discusses the appeasement of the 1930s. "If the British and the French had realized how evil Hitler and the Nazis were and what their real purposes were," he observes, "they could have prevented another world war, if they had acted two years or so earlier."

Von Campe says even though the Allies eventually defeated Hitler, his ideology survives today. "The Nazi ideology comes back through the back door, so to speak, through Islam," the author asserts. And unfortunately, he notes, even Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert has apparently forgotten the lessons of the past in his willingness to give in to Islamic demands in the hopes that they will become friends.

Unfortunately, in appeasing Islamic leaders, the Israeli prime minister has taken the same approach as those European leaders of the 1930s, von Campe contends. "Olmert, to me, belongs to the suicide cult," he says, "because the suicide cult, they believe that if you give in here a little point and there a little point, then we will make friends of Islam or whoever."

However, this is a mistake, von Campe insists. Appeasement of radical Islamists does not work, he says, "because if you give up one thing, then they come and want the next thing. You give them that, then they come with another one."

Evil is evil... irrespective of ideology.
