Hitler's Armenian reference

At the conclusion of the Obersalzberg Speech (1939), German dictator Adolf Hitler may have stated, "Who, after all, speaks today of the annihilation of the Armenians?" (German: Wer redet heute noch von der Vernichtung der Armenier?) The veracity of the quote has been debated by scholars: most of them agree that the quote likely sums up what Hitler said, even though it may not be his exact words. The quote has often been cited, particularly by Armenians, to support the interpretation that Hitler knew about the Armenian genocide and was inspired by it to commit atrocities.
