I have just taken a look at the site you referred to and waded through the entire diatribe. This is history gone mad, I quote the entire paragraph devoted to Hitler, highlighting in red particular absurdities and and underlining unproven assumptions:
Quote:
| If indeed, Hitler had syphilis, the final solution finds its source not in the German people or the Catholic Church, but in Hitler’s diseased brain. Like Nietzsche’s writings attacking God, the final solution becomes the symptom of a syphilitic brain enjoying a brief moment of deluded grandeur and clarity before slipping forever into dementia paralytica. Mein Kampf, according to Anwyl-Davies, “expressed Hitler’s need for vicious revenge.” The Final Solution, analogous to Nietzsche’s final assault on God, simply proposed a way of implementing that need for revenge in a way that was completely consistent with the state of mind produced by the onset of tertiary syphilis: “It would not be enough for such a revenge to be aimed at the single member of Jewish society who had infected him: the entire race had to be persecuted in castigation.” That’s Anwyl-Davies formulation of the biological dynamic behind the Holocaust, and Anwyl-Davies felt that Hitler had syphilis. Hitler’s anti-Semitism, in other words, finds its source not in congenital anti-Semitism but in syphilis, and syphilis, in turn, finds its source in moral decadence, specifically prostitution. The fact that Jews were heavily involved in both prostitution and pornography returned to haunt them in a way that no one could have suspected at the time, and in a way that no one has been allowed to articulate ever since.

The Internet is a wonderful instrument, but it does have dangers. This is a particularly good example of rubbish posing as scholarship.
