Why did Hitler kill the Jews?

Hitler ordered the killing, because he believed that the Jews were his powerful enemies, bent on destroying him. For Hitler the Jews were like windmills to Don Quixote. The best proof of Hitler's sickness is his behavior at the end of the war. When the Russians were only miles away, he was holed in the bunker and spent his time shuffling non-existing divisions or ordering increased production of tanks and aircrafts, in non-existing factories. He lost completely the touch with reality. It looked like that he suffered from Parkinson's disease, but medical experts say that Parkinsonism affects only the motor coordination.

Why did Hitler kill the Jews?

It can be proven, that Hitler was infected with syphilis in 1908, and thirty years later, the dormant illness entered the tertiary stage, causing inflammation of the brain, called general paresis. Speer for example, mentions that Hitler was treated by Dr. Morell, a specialist in skin and venereal diseases.
