Biography
Ernst Sedgewiek Hanfstaengl (or Hanfy or Putzi, as he was usually called) (1887-1975), was a German-American at the core of the rise of Hitlerism. Born into a well-known New England family, he was introduced to Hitler in the early 1920s by Captain Truman-Smith, the U.S. Military Attache in Berlin. He became an ardent Hitler supporter, on occasion financed the Nazis and, according to Ambassador William Dodd, .".. is said to have saved Hitler's life in 1923." Putzi became not only an early friend, backer and financier of Hitler, but among those early Hitler supporters he was, .", . almost the only person who crossed the lines of his (Hitler's) groups of acquaintances." In 1931, Hanfstaengl became NSDAP foreign press chief. Hanfstaengl became alienated from Hitler in 1937 and fled to England. He was interned in a Canadian prisoner of war camp. With Germany and the United States now at war Putzi re-calculated the odds and concluded, "Now I knew for certain that Germany would be defeated." Putzi's release from the POW camp came with the personal intervention of old friend President Roosevelt.

German transcription of the Julius Streicher segment (without umlauts) and English translation [Anatol Steck, 12/03/2010]:

Dem deutschen Volke wird der Vorwurf gemacht, es habe den Antisemitismus, den Kampf gegen die Juden in die Welt gebracht und sei deshalb ein barbarisches Volk. Wer dies behauptet sagt die Unwahrheit. Schon vor Jahrtausenden waren nicht-juedische Voelker gezwungen sich gegen juedische Eindringlinge zu wehren. Wenn dieser Kampf bis in die Gegenwart herein kein Ende fand, so traegt die Glutschuld das juedische Volk das von der Ausbeutung der Nichtjuden lebt und sich verheissen liess es sei auserwaehlt der Herr der Welt zu sein. Der Voelkerfriede wird erst dann in die Welt gekommen sein wenn dem Nutzniesser der Kriege die Moeglichkeit fuer immer genommen ist die Voelker gegeneinander zu hetzen. Wer sinnig geworden ist der weiss: ohne Loesung der Judenfrage keine Loesung der Menschheit.

The German people are accused of bringing into this world the antisemitism, the battle against the Jews and that they therefore are a barbaric people. Who asserts this speaks an untruth. For millennia the non-Jewish people have been forced to defend themselves against the Jewish intruders. If this battle has not yet come to an end until the present times, so lies the fervent fault for this with the Jewish people who live from the exploitation of the non-Jews and who have declared themselves to be the chosen masters of the world. Peace among the peoples will only have come to this world after the beneficiary of the wars has been prevented forever from having the ability to instigate the peoples against each other. He who has wisened up knows: without solution of the Jewish question there can be no solution for mankind.
