"For the fate of the Germans and European Jews, Hitler's successes were perhaps even more fateful than his crimes and misdeeds," Jenninger said. "The years from 1933 to 1938, even from a distant retrospective and in the knowledge of what followed, still are a fascinating thing today, since throughout history there was hardly a parallel to Hitler's triumphal process during the first years."
In Jerusalem, Israel's Foreign Ministry said it was astonished by Jenninger's speech.
