Arab Nazis

Author's name: Rami Raafat

“Hajj Muhammad Hitler” is the name given by Egyptians to the Nazi leader Adolf Hitler, and “Musa al-Nili” is the name given to the fascist leader Mussolini. Hitler was also given similar names in Iraq and Syria, which leads us to ask about the way Arabs view their invaders, and whether the Nazi leader was an exception to this view or rule?

On the other hand, what was Hitler's view of the Arabs? And what was his view of Islam as a religion? And of the Prophet Muhammad as a leader and messenger sent by God?

Why did many Arab leaders support Hitler's war efforts? Why did King Farouk want to involve the Egyptian army alongside the Axis forces? Why was Amin al-Husseini alone informed of the secret of the German atomic bomb?

What was the relationship between Nazi leaders and Arab nationalists and Zionists?

What is the story of the Nazi officers and German scientists who fled to Egypt? And who were the Egyptian and Arab officers who fled to Germany?

Was Nazism a purely German creation, or was it something else? And where will the ongoing debate about the Holocaust and its figures lead us?

Finally, what if Hitler had won?

This book prompts you to ask many questions and provides you with many answers.
