Well, he had no intention of invading the Americas. Though he would probably have supported right-wing governments in South America, giving the USA something of a dilemma.
And obviously by 'Europeans' me meant German-led Europeans'.
So with those caveats, a 'Yes, he meant it'. |

Agree with Advocate. And as far as European, I believe he meant Germanic Europeans (which included the British) only. Jim |

No, he didn't mean it – plenty of good Europeans were rounded up by force and sent to death camps. I don't often say this but IMHO this poll is a mistake. |

Yes, he was responsible for the deaths of untold numbers of Europeans, however that did not mean he was open to the presence of non-Europeans in his empire. |

I'm another agreeing with Advocate. He certainly meant it,with Germany top of the tree. |

I think he meant it – the pre-WWII world was such that the thought that dominating Europe made you top dog in the world was something a lot of Europeans thought was true |

This statement is typical of political speech. "Europe" and "Europeans" refer to two different subsets (ALL of Europe for SOME of the Europeans) without making the distinction. |

I agree with 20thMaine, I think this poll is in bad taste. |
