New Book: JFK ‘Admired’ Hitler

Click Here: “Two years before World War II broke out, John F. Kennedy wrote, “The Germans really are too good – therefore people have ganged up on them to protect themselves.” JFK also wrote, “The Nordic races certainly seem to be superior to the Romans.”

 And with regard to Hitler, JFK wrote: “Hitler will emerge from the hatred currently surrounding him to emerge in a few years as one of the most important personalities that ever lived.”

Kennedy’s father, Joseph Kennedy, was an admirer of Hitler’s as well. Kennedy’s admiration for Hitler verged on the rapturous: “His boundless ambition for his country made him a threat to peace in the world, but he had something mysterious about him,” Kennedy wrote after the war. “He was the stuff of legends.””
