Sorry for the provocative title. I don't actually think Lord Hitler is an evil racist.
I am actually making this post to examine these claims - specifically so you can send this to someone you want to bring closer to national socialism. Here I go.
Many countries fought on the side of Hitler's Germany in WW2, including several non-white ones. One of Germany's primary allies of the 'Tripartite Pact' (signed on September 27, 1940) was not white -- Japan. In fact, when the USA declared war on Japan the next year Germany honored the Tripartite Pact and declared war on the United States.
Indians, Asians, Arabs and Blacks not only fought on the side of National Socialist Germany, but also wore the eagle and swastika proudly on their breast. Dozens of nationalities volunteered for the elite Waffen-SS and many non-whites of a wide range of ethnic backgrounds served the Axis in many capacities. In fact, it was the largest multi-racial fighting force in history.
Otto Skorzeny describes the diverse nature of the Waffen-SS in his 1975 memoirs:
'...from 1942 European soldiers from many lands and peoples could be found: Albanians, Bosnians, Britons, Bulgarians, Cossacks, Croats, Danes, Dutch, Estonians, Finns, Flemings, French, Georgians, Greeks, Hungarians, Italians, Latvians, Lithuanians, Norwegians, Romanians, Russians, Serbs, Slovakians, Swedes, Swiss, Ukrainians, Walloons, Armenians, Byelorussians, Hindus, Kirghizes, Tartars, Turkmen and Uzbeks served under their own flags in the Waffen-SS. Almost all of these peoples were represented in my unit.'
The Americans called him 'Scarface' because of his prominent scar, which he received while fencing as a university student in Vienna. (As a curious side note and to learn more about his scar, see the book 'Mensur & Schmiss: German Dueling Societies, described as '...the first photographic history of the student academic duel, the Mensur, practiced in Germany since the eighteenth century. The slashing swordplay of this fascinating Western European ritual often resulted in a Schmiss, or facial scarification. The Schmiss scar was a record of one’s courage, cherished as a badge of honor that signified masculinity and high social position...')
By the end of the war foreign members of the Waffen-SS outnumbered Germans! An average of six out of every ten men in the Waffen-SS were foreign volunteers. The English historian Antony James Beevor has this to say about what developed between these enormously brave and courageous men:
'an extraordinary comradeship of the damned had grown up among the foreign volunteers defending the last bastion of German nationalism.'
(Berlin: The Downfall, 1945. (c)2003)
During the terrible 1944/45 siege of Budapest a wide variety of nationalities and races fought under the swastika:
'The SS units comprised almost all nationalities -- in addition to ethnic Germans, [...] French Alsatians, Hungarians, Serbs, Slovaks, and Romanians, and Finnish, Flemish, Swedish and Spanish volunteers. The baggage trains of the SS divisions included Russian, Ukrainian, Tatar, and other auxiliaries. One artillery detachment consisted mainly of Poles, and several of its members were buried in Polish uniforms with German insignia.'
-The Siege of Budapest, (c)2005, Krisztián Ungváry, pg. 75
These were men ready to die for their beliefs, and many of them did. They believed strongly and passionately for their cause. Together, as one, come what may. Despite the so-called 'democracies' preventing them from defeating communism, their efforts and sacrifices most likely prevented communism from infecting all of Europe, and likely the world.
The Germans did not segregate their troops. Blacks, Asians, Arabs and Whites all fought and lived and died side-by-side. A sharp contrast to the American and British treatment of non-whites that fought for them. These troops were often used as cannon fodder and not allowed to fight with white troops.
Consider the following passages from The Censored War (George H. Roeder Jr., (c)1993):
'Nine out of ten [American] whites believed white and black soldiers should not train together; three out of four blacks believed they should. In 1940 almost all black sailors did menial labor in ship galleys. Blacks in the army served in strictly segregated units. The War Department advertised that "applications from colored persons for flying cadet appointments or enlistments in the Air Corps are not be accepted," and the Marine Corps continued its tradition of not enlisting blacks.' (p. 44-45)
Following the typical propaganda script, the film discussed below makes the German into the racist, when in fact it was the opposite. Consider the fact that a combined force of Arabs and Germans were annihilated defending the gates of Berlin.
'In the 1943 Columbia film Sahara a black (Libyan) soldier [...] displayed much more dignity then a captured German who complained, as the soldier secured him, that he did not want to be touched by a member of an inferior race. The MGM production chief Dore Schary had a black included in the group of soldiers featured in another film made in that year, Bataan, even though this led to the depiction of something that did not then exist in the real army, an integrated combat unit.' (p. 45-46)
And lastly:
'The Negro Soldier (1944), a government-produced film, showed black and whites together for large-scale activities where integration might be efficient, as when black and white soldiers did calisthenics together. In its depictions of living quarters and other intimate social situations the film kept blacks segregated, as they in fact were in all the military branches.' (p. 46-47)
The Japanese Americans who volunteered for the U.S. military were fighting for a country who had interned their families in concentration camps. Over 110,000 Japanese people who lived on the Pacific coast were interned with no crime other than being born Japanese.
George Takei, of Star Trek fame, was one of the many victims of American racist policy. Here's his account of his experience in American concentration camps during WWII:
'I was only a child when soldiers with bayonetted rifles marched up our driveway, banged on our door, and ordered us out. I remember my mother's tears as we gathered what little we could carry, and then were sent to live for many weeks in a single cramped horse stall. Our bank accounts were frozen, our businesses shuttered, and our homes with most of our belongings were left behind, all because of what we looked like.'
'A few months later, we were shipped off to the swamps, over a thousand miles away, by railcar. They placed in all one hundred twenty thousand of us inside barbed wire fences, machine guns pointed down at us from watch towers. We slept inside bug-infested barracks, ate in a noisy mess hall, and relieved ourselves in common latrines that had no walls between the stalls. We were denied adequate medicines, shelter and supplies. I remember as a child looking up toward a U.S. flag in the room, as we recited the Pledge of Allegiance, those ironic words echoing, "with liberty, and justice for all."'
'Executive Order 9066, signed by President Franklin Delano Roosevelt, was issued on the premise that anyone of Japanese descent could not be trusted and was to be treated as an enemy, even those of us who were American citizens, born in this land. We were viewed not as individual people, but as a yellow menace to be dealt with, and harshly. The guns pointed at us at every point reminded us that if we so much as tried to stand up for our dignity, there would be violent consequences. The order and the ensuing confinement was an egregious violation of the constitution and of due process as we were held, without trial and without charge, awaiting our fate.'
The American government turned the war against Japan into a race war. A mountain of American WWII posters and other propaganda materials center on race. They pounded it into the public's head that the Japanese were less than human, even akin to rats. This caused numerous atrocities against Japanese soldiers and Japanese civilians during the war, as the American soldier was taught that these people weren't human.
'...the Marines disavowed a "license for hunting Japs" distributed by their recruiters in Chicago. Yet for the Seventh War Loan campaign the following spring the War Department produced for public viewing the film Action at Anguar, which had the narrator speak this line as viewers saw actual footage of Japanese soldiers burning alive: "By this time we had shot, blasted, or cooked six hundred of the little apes." '
--The Censored War, p. 87, George H. Roeder Jr., (c)1993
[Japanese were rats according to the United States government.]
Japanese-Americans were also treated as subhumans by the United States government. During a search of the barracks of one camp:
'...soldiers aimed the machine gun at the unarmed prisoners and forced them to stand in the snow for hours in their underwear...'
-Inside America's Concentration Camps, James L. Dickerson, 2010, pg.143
The quote below accurately points out that Japanese-Americans in fact had no rights at all.
'The government violated at least half of the ten amendments comprising the Bill of Rights with its decision to remove Americans of Japanese ancestry, the majority of them U.S. citizens...'
--The Censored War, p. 90, George H. Roeder Jr., (c)1993
President Roosevelt even referred to the camps as 'concentration camps' on a few occasions. And that's exactly what they were.
'...the camp itself was startling. Six tanks were lined up in a threatening way.
A double barbed-wire fence was built around the camp. And the guard was increased to more than one thousand armed soldiers....
-Inside America's Concentration Camps, James L. Dickerson, 2010, pg.140
Author James L. Dickerson rightfully referred to these Japanese people as 'a people who had been stripped of their freedoms and imprisoned in camps just a notch above dog kennels...'
[Above: The United States used 'atrocity propaganda' in many ways against Japan. A favorite was lying about Japanese treatment of their enemy in China. This poster claims the Japanese used poison gas. The American media pressed repeatedly for America to use gas against Japan with headlines like 'We Should Gas Japan' (1943), 'You Can Cook 'Em Better With Gas' (1944) and 'Should We Gas the Japs?' (1945). Roosevelt issued stern warnings to the Japanese about using chemical weapons. But who was really preparing to use chemical warfare? America and Britain. Want proof? Read on.]
By the end of the war America had produced and stockpiled a colossal amount of chemical weapons - 135,000 tons! That's 20,000 tons more than every nation fighting in WWI!
[A Higher Form of Killing, Robert Harris and Jeremy Paxman, p. 130, (c)1982]

Part two coming soon since I am only able to upload 5 pictures.
