(20,214 posts)39. The Nazis used extensive propaganda across the Middle East in the 1940's
And a lot of prominent Arab leaders embraced their message, becoming at the very least Nazi adjacent.

In this German propaganda newsreel, the former Mufti of Jerusalem, Hajj Amin al-Husayni, an Arab nationalist and prominent Muslim religious leader, meets Hitler for the first time on November 28, 1941 in Berlin, Germany. During the meeting, held in in the Reich chancellery, Hitler declined to grant al-Husaynis request for a public statementor a secret but formal treatyin which Germany would: 1) pledge not to occupy Arab land, 2) recognize Arab striving for independence, and 3) support the removal of the proposed Jewish homeland in Palestine. The Führer confirmed that the struggle against a Jewish homeland in Palestine would be part of the struggle against the Jews. Hitler stated that: he would continue the struggle until the complete destruction of Jewish-Communist European empire; and when the German army was in proximity to the Arab world, Germany would issue an assurance to the Arab world that the hour of liberation was at hand. It would then be al-Husaynis responsibility to unleash the Arab action that he has secretly prepared. The Führer stated that Germany would not intervene in internal Arab matters and that the only German goal at that time would be the annihilation of Jewry living in Arab space under the protection of British power.
