Edward S. Franchuk, Royal Military College of Canada Canada J3A 1N2 Send response to journal: Re: Was Hitler speaking about the destruction of the AMERICANS?	Your reproduction of what claims to be Hitler's speech contains the sentence "Who after all is today speaking about the destruction of the Americans?" Americans? I cannot check the source you give for this speech; if you can, please do so. If this is a typo, whose is it? I think you will agree, it undermines the credibility of your "transcript"!

Joseph C. Watine, Consultant, Laboratory Medicine Hôpital de Rodez, France Send response to journal: Re: Re: Was Hitler speaking about the destruction of the AMERICANS?	In this context, I think that Hitler meant that they, the Germans, could very well exterminate the Polish and get away with it, as simply as the fisrt Americans immigrants exterminated their natives Americans… I suspect that some words in the original text must be missing.

Destruction of the ARMENIANS. 3 June 2004
John D Stone, none London N22 Send response to journal: Re: Destruction of the ARMENIANS.	This was a favourite Hitler topic, the Turkish genocide of Armenians in 1918. He is saying that in a few years atrocities are forgotten and whole peoples are lost from memory. For anyone who is puzzled BMJ 7 December 1996 was an issue focussed on genocide.

Armenians, not Americans, Herr Schickelgruber 5 June 2004
Sam Lewis, GP Surgery, Newport, Pembs, SA42 0TJ Send response to journal: Re: Armenians, not Americans, Herr Schickelgruber	It must have been a typographical slip. Max Irwin von Schaubner-Richter was a German agent in Turkey, during the First World War, witnessing and documenting the genocide of the Armenians by the Turks. Later, he shared not only a bed-sit with Hitler in Berlin, but the idea that genocide can be erased from historical record - ' who now remembers the destruction of the Armenians ? '. He was shot in the Munich Putsch, the bullet narrowly missing Hitler. Subsequently, the photographic records have him erased by the Nazis from the picture, too. .. All this according to the docu-drama 'Two Questions of Intelligence' playing in West Wales Theatre.. Competing interests: None declared
