Exit Ticket Why Hitler?

• 1. We demand the union of all Germans in a Great
  Germany on the basis of the principle of
  self-determination of all people.
• 3. We demand land and territory (colonies) for
  the maintenance of our people and the settlement
  of our surplus population.
• 4. Only those who are our fellow coutnrymen can
  become citizens. Only those who have German
  blood, regardless of creed, can be our
  countrymen. Hence, no Jew can be a countryman.
• 7. We demand that the State shall above all
  understake to ensure that every citizen shall
  have the possibility of living decently and
  earning a livelihood. If it should not be
  possible to feed the whole population, then
  aliens (non-citizens) must be expelled from the
  Reich (Germany).
• 8. Any further immigration of non-Germans must be
  prevented. We demand that all non-Germans who
  have entered Germany since August 2, 1914, shall
  be compelled to leave immediately.
