If, as the document’s place in the file suggests, the memorandum dated from the spring of 1942, then it either referred to the specific problem of ‘mixed-race’ people and ‘half-Jews’ or it expressed Hitler’s belief that the completion of the ‘final solution’ would only occur after the end of the war, an event which at this time was still expected within the year.
