However inhumanly a class may act when it is a matter of economic interest, it cannot be denied that they
are influenced by social conventions. The European colonizers were more than merely representatives of a
small ruling class. They could exterminate the natives with impunity because they regarded the "savages" as
inferior. And ironically, the population of the New World regarded the "bearded strangers" as higher beings
predestined to rule because of their skin color alone. Only one single nation seems to have realized this error
in time. The bequest of the Ancient Fathers led the Ugha Mongulala to regard the new arrivals as White
Barbarians. Any objective observer cannot help agreeing with this characterization. The representatives of
the white civilization have proved themselves to be nothing but despicable robbers while they could in truth
have been "Gods."

Brazil and the Third Reich

The history of the Third Reich has still left many questions unanswered. Hitler’s political considerations
and the strategic game plans of his generals are known, although the Führer’s predilection for the occult
sciences and his religious obsessions remain obscure. The pattern of the battles and terrible results of the
Second World War are also known. Hitler’s military decisions, his plans for world conquest, and the actions
of the secret commandos in the most distant parts of the world remain unfathomable. In retrospect, it is hard
to define what it was that influenced the history of the Third Reich most, but one thing is certain: Hitler’s
mystic picture of the universe has so far not been sufficiently studied. But let us stay with the historical facts
for now.

Up to the middle of 1939, Latin America showed indifference to the political events in Europe. Only when
the forces of the Third Reich invaded Poland and Hitler’s plans for expansion became obvious were the
South American countries caught in the vortex of the beginning world war. The visit of the
Commander-in-Chief of the U.S. Army, George C. Marshall, to Rio de Janeiro in June 1939 influenced
Brazil to join the Allied side. "In the defense of North America," the general declared, "Brazil plays an
essential part. The presence of hostile forces on Brazilian territory and command over communications with
Europe and Africa would present a dangerous threat to the U.S. Consequently, the coast between Salvador
and Belém must be secured against a possible invasion and be defended."

Marshall’s considerations were readily accepted by his Brazilian colleagues. They were also afraid of
German landings and requested the construction of strong fortifications along the east coast. At the 1939
Panama conference, Brazil declared itself willing to put supply bases and strategic airports for defensive
purposes at the U.S.’s disposal. Within a few months, the first American bomber squads were landing in
Joao Pessoa and Recife. In January 1940, President Vargas enacted decisive laws providing for the
supervision of the German Nazi sympathizing colony. On December 7, 1941, the day the Japanese attacked
Pearl Harbor, the Brazilian decision was made, relations with Berlin were broken off, and the country
prepared to join in the war.

On the German side, the American efforts for Brazil were carefully noted. General Canaris considered
Brazil’s strict neutrality a prerequisite for U-boat mastery over the southern Atlantic. General Keitel
regarded the future invasion of South America as a natural sequence of the expanding Third Reich.
Rosenberg, the head of the foreign department of the National Socialist party, dreamed of a German
occupation of Brazil and the assumption of power by members of the German colony.

In the spring of 1942, when Field Marshal Rommel seemed to be about to conquer all of North Africa in his
victorious campaign, Brazil was the main subject of discussion in a meeting of the General Staff in Berlin.
The Foreign Office, represented by Ambassador Ritter, advised against military action in view of a possible
solidarity of all Latin American countries. Keitel and Rosenberg suggested mounting a massive attack
against Brazil. After vehement discussions, Hitler decided on a retaliatory attack in order to "punish Brazil
