Interview Notes with Hitler’s responses

Topic 1: Foreign Policy
1. What would you do to improve international relations with the United States, France, and Britain?
I would have a conference or meeting to discuss peace treaties and agreements that could benefit the Third Reich.
2. If relations are improved with those nations, where would you go from there in regards to bringing Germany back into international politics?
Germany will be at the forefront and lead the world. Germany is not a power that can be underestimated militaristically and economically.
3. Do you plan on trying to establish a relationship with communist Russia?
Yes. I will need their alliances and they will provide as an essential resource in the future.
4. How do you feel about the position that the League of Nations has taken over in international relations between nations?
The League of Nations is not necessary in order to keep international issues contained. All that is needed is a strong military power to keep other smaller nations in line.
5. Do you agree with the policies that the League of Nations is enforcing?
I do not agree with the racial and religious equality. Germany is meant for Aryans, and should not have to deal with other bloods.

Topic 2: Domestic Policy
1. What are you going to do in order to increase the citizen morale of Germany?
Provide more jobs by taking them away from those who stole the jobs from true Germans. The jobs and money will finally be in the hands of Germans.
2. Would you start public programs to help rebuild the German economy?
I would find ways to create more jobs and help Germany improve as a whole. We plan on creating work camps for the bottom percentages of the population that need jobs in order to contribute.
3. What is your position on how successful the Weimer Republic is during this post-war time?
The Republic is still very weak in my opinion, and I plan on promoting plans and ideas to create a stronger government system.
4. How do you plan on dealing with the current socialist revolutions?
Military force might be necessary to prevent any violence. I am interested to see how far they get in their political aspirations.
5. Would the socialist revolution threaten the success of the Weimer Republic?

Topic 3: Military
1. With the current military restrictions, will the limit of 100000 men in the military cause job losses and thus further causing economic distress?
No. I will find ways around this restriction because I will not let international laws and punishments of past generations affect the people today.
2. Will the restrictions on manufacturing weapons further hit the German industry?
No. We do not plan on halting the industry. We may have to use other nation’s territories as resource.
3. Do you have a plan if Germany were to be attacked due to the limited number of forces?
I do. *chuckle*
4. Would you consider building structures along the German border to defend Germany from foreign invaders?
Yes because now that Germany is becoming a force to be reckoned with, I must protect the people and supplies.
5. What do you see for the future of the German military?
I see us being the best military group in the world.
Topic 4: Human and Civil Rights
1. What is your policy on immigration?
Only true Germans should be in Germany. I do not want foreigners taking away resources and land from rightful Germans.
2. Would it be a hit to Germany if significant portions of the population were to emigrate due to the condition Germany is currently in?
If they are not true Germans, then it will be good that they leave. I will know who is truly loyal to the motherland.
3. What would your policy be for requirements to be elected to government?
I would want final approval because Jews might try to skew the votes and someone unfit to represent Germany could ruin the progress of the nation.
4. Would you change requirements on German citizenship?
The would be required to take an oath the Germany and it’s leader. I also feel that there should be an intensive background check into the heritage of immigrants. Germany doesn’t need to let in bad seeds.
5. What would your policy be on granting asylum to refugees?
It would depend on what they have to offer to our nation. I am a very generous man, but I cannot just let anyone in.
