It is noteworthy that none of the SS men in connection with the training mentions Hitler's book Mein Kampf . Statistics will prove that the mass of SS men did not read this book at all. Two hundred and eighty-nine affidavits deal with the evaluation of the racial doctrine. They see therein only a demand for a separation of the races from one another. Fifty-seven affidavits see in the doctrine the purpose of selecting the best among the people.
Various affidavits say that the racial doctrine included respect for other peoples.
The problem of training for colonisation and Germanisation is not mentioned in any affidavit. The ranks of the General SS were not recognized in the Wehrmacht. There were no arms, or so-called tactical exercises. Tactical discussions were forbidden. Shooting was done only with small calibre guns.
