There is an interesting quote by Robert Ley from June 22, 1941. In a speech in Breslau (in the Breslauer Jahrhunderthalle), he said (my source is the book Schmiede des Schwertes, 1942): "D e r J u d e b l i e b u n s e r u n v e r s o e h n l i c h e r F e i n d und setzte alles daran, dass unser Volk sich aufloese, damit er herrschen koenne. Darum muessen wir kaempfen, bis er vernichtet ist, u n d w i r w e r d e n i h n v e r n i c h t e n! Wir wollen frei sein, nich nur in Innern, sondern auch nach aussen!" All emphases are in the original. My translation: "T h e J e w r e m a i n e d o u r i m p l a c a b l e e n e m y and attempted everything to dissolve our Volk, so that he could rule. Therefore we must fight until he is annihilated, a n d w e w i l l a n n i h i l a t e h i m! We want to be free, not only from within, but also from without!" I don't think the timing is a coincidence and I see the remark "we want to be free...also from without" as important.
