To Gruppenführer Heydrich: Final Solution Supplementing the task assigned to you by the decree of January 24, 1939, to solve the Jewish problem by means of emigration and evacuation in the best possible way according to present conditions, I hereby charge you to carry out preparations as regards organizational, financial, and material matters for a total solution (Gesamtlösung) of the Jewish question in all the territories of Europe under German occupation. Where the competency of other central organizations touches on this matter, these organizations are to collaborate. I charge you further to submit to me as soon as possible a general plan of the administrative material and financial measures necessary for carrying out the desired final solution (Endlösung) of the Jewish question.

Influenced by Bendetsen and Gullion, DeWitt reacted similarly. "In the war in which we are now engaged," he wrote Stimson on February 14, "racial affinities are not severed by migration. The Japanese race is an enemy race, and while many second- and third-generation Japanese born on United States soil, possessed of United States citizenship, have become `Americanized,' the racial strains are undiluted.... It therefore follows that along the vital Pacific Coast over 112,000 potential enemies of Japanese extraction are at large today." "A Jap's a Jap," he proclaimed later, "and that's all there is to it."1 I have made a lot of mistakes in my life... One is my part in the evacuation of the Japanese from California in 1942... I don't think that served any purpose at all... We picked them up and put them in concentration camps. That's the truth of the matter. And as I look back on it -- although at the time I argued the case -- I am amazed that the Supreme Court ever approved it.2
Henry L. Stimson, Secretary of WarTheir racial characteristics are such that we cannot understand or trust even the citizen Japanese.2 Franklin Delano Roosevelt, President[The Japanese] whose skull pattern being less developed than that of the Caucasians, might be responsible for their aggressive behavior.1 ...please be assured that I am keenly aware of the anxiety that German and Italian aliens living in the United States must feel as the result of the Japanese evacuation from the West Coast.Will you assure Mr. Antonini that no collective evacuation of German and Italian aliens is contemplated at this time?2
442nd Regimental Unit Most highly decorated U.S unit of its size in the war. The unit did not have a single case of desertion during all of World War II, a record unequaled by any other American unit. It was known as the "Purple Heart Battalion." But the unit's motto was "Go for Broke," and in the course of the Italian campaign the members of the 442nd were awarded: 1 Medal of Honor, 52 Distinguished Service Crosses, 1 Distinguished Service Medal, 560 Silver Stars (28 with Oak Leaf clusters), 22 Legions of Merit, 4,000 Bronze Stars (1,200 with Oak Leaf clusters), 15 Soldier's Medals, 12 French Croix de Guerre, 2 Italian Crosses for Military Merit, 2 Italian Medals for Military Valor.
