The German NS government only became interested in the plan in 1938 when strict immigration quotas on emigation to Palestine kicked in and Germany had just acquired a lot more Jews in Austria and the Sudentenland, the idea was passed around the NS party hierachy but only with the fall of France (whose colony it was) caused serious planning to be made. However the plan fell apart beause it relied on three things. The transfer of Madagasar from France to Germany in a peace treaty, which never happened, the defeat of Britain and the neutralisation of the British Fleet. The most important point about the existence of the Madagascar Plan is the self-evident truth that NS Germany had no far-flung plans to exterminate the Jews. They just wanted them hell out of civilised countries. Following the annexation of Austria, the Sudetenland and the remaining of Czechoslovakia I found this passage interesting in Hitler's War by David Irving:     Nobody, however, wanted to house these homeless Jews. When Ribbentrop journeyed to Paris with much pomp in December to sign the joint declaration that Hitler had ﬁrst suggested to François-Poncet, foreign minister Georges Bonnet begged him not to ﬂood France with German Jews, as they already had enough Jews of their own. (‘In fact,’ Ribbentrop informed Hitler, ‘they are considering Madagascar for this purpose.’)  Poland’s attitude was no more sympathetic. Ambassador Joseph Lipski had assured Hitler as recently as October 21 that if he ever succeeded in solving Europe’s Jewish problem, Warsaw would happily erect a statue in honour of his achievement. The Polish government had followed developments throughout most closely. Fearing, after Hitler’s occupation of Austria, that he would repatriate the thousands of Polish Jews from Vienna, in March they had speedily enacted a Law of Expatriation designed to deprive such Jews of their native Polish citizenship.   The Munich agreement panicked Warsaw into the further ruling that after October expatriate Poles would be allowed back into their country without a special entry visa. The last days of October thus saw frenzied scenes on the frontier. While Polish frontier oﬃcials slept, the Nazis quietly shunted unscheduled trains loaded with Jews across the line into Poland.   No neighbour wanted the Jews either :rofl it's just an example of the hypocrisy of the allies after the war... :rolleyes:
