Ribbentrop to Lord (Sayyid) Mohammed Amin
Ministry of Foreign Affairs Berlin, April 28, 1942 Your Eminence: In response to your letter and to the accompanying communication of His Excellency, Prime Minister Raschid Ali El Gailani, and confirming the terms of our conversation, I have the honour to inform you: The German Government appreciates fully the confidence of the Arab peoples in the Axis Powers in their aims and in their determination to conduct the fight against the common enemy until victory is achieved. The German Government has the greatest understanding for the national aspirations of the Arab countries as have been expressed by you both and the greatest sympathy for the sufferings of your peoples under British oppression. I have therefore the honour to assure you, in complete agreement with the Italian Government, that the independence and freedom of the suffering Arab countries presently subjected to British oppression, is also one of the aims of the German Government. Germany is consequently ready to give all her support to the oppressed Arab countries in their fight against British domination, for the fulfillment of their national aim to independence and sovereignty and for the destruction of the Jewish National Home in Palestine. As previously agreed, the content of this letter should be maintained absolutely secret until we decide otherwise. I beg your Eminence to be assured of my highest esteem and consideration. To His Eminence (Signed) Ribbentrop the Grossmufti of Palestine Amin El Husseini.
