But then, in the early 1930s, few could imagine that the Germans would reach unprecedented levels of brutality. Therefore, there were Zionists who considered Hitler’s doctrine set out in Mein Kampf as an advantage: the Nazis did not hide their desire to get rid of the Jews, and the Zionists saw a chance to transport all the Jews of Germany to Palestine. One of these was judge and member of the country's Zionist Council Kurt Tohler. Even before Hitler's appointment as Chancellor, the council decided to establish contacts with members of the Nazi movement who were ready to support Zionist endeavors. Tochler turned to the head of the Jewish department of the NSDAP security service, Leopold von Mildstein: he was known for the descriptions of his travels published in the press. Tochler was going to offer the Nazi a trip to the Land of Israel so that he would present Palestine as an attractive place for Jews.
