"This war against America is a tragedy... It is illogical and devoid of any foundation of reality... From every point of view Germany and the United States should have been able, if not to understand each other and sympathize with each other, then at least to support each other without undue strain on either of them."
- Adolf Hitler, to Martin Bormann, 1941; quote in Toland's 'Adolf Hitler'
The war between the US and Germany was never
seen by Hitler as being a conflict of necessity.
