posted on: Oct 22, 2015

The meeting between Adolf Hitler and the Mufti of Jerusalem, Haj Amin al-Husseini, took place in Berlin on November 28, 1941, from 4:30-5:45 P.M. The meeting was not transcribed, but the main points were detailed by Fritz Grobba, a Nazi diplomat and Middle East expert who had previously served in the German consulate in Jerusalem and as German ambassador to Iraq. Those points are outlined below.
The conversation began with the Mufti thanking the Führer for the great honor he had bestowed upon him by receiving him. The Mufti praised Hitler lavishly, told him he was admired by the entire Arab world, and thanked him for publicizing their shared fate in his speeches.
