Hitler and Japan

Japan were allies of Germany in WWII. Did Hitler not have a problem with the skin colour of the Japanese?

A lot of Nazi policies didn't make sense if you looked closely. Things were done and said that didn't add up but were fine as long as it gained/consolidated power for the NSDAP.

On November 25, 1936, Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan signed the so-called Anti-Comintern Pact directed at the Soviet Union. So even if the Japanese were viewed as an "inferior race" it suited Hitler to have them on his side against the USSR.

Other things such as allowing members from the Balkan states to join the "elite" SS and sterilisation of people with physical deformities, even though Goebbels had club foot, show the hypocrisy.
