Nazi Propaganda: "Who Should Die - Germans or Jews?"

From July 1941, the Nazis waged a fierce propaganda campaign to convince the German people that either Germany would have to exterminate the Jews or the Jews would exterminate the Germans. The campaign utilized Kaufman's "Germany Must Perish", an obscure tract that called for the sterilization of all Germans. The Nazis became convinced that "kill or be killed" should be the message that their antisemitic propaganda would carry from that point on. This message was most explicitly spelled out in a pamphlet published in September 1941 by Wolfgang Diewerge, which asked:

Who Should Die — Germans or Jews?

Here a modest point may be permitted: There are about 20 million Jews in the world.
How would it be if one wanted to treat 20 million Jews according to the proposal of their racial comrade Kaufman rather than 80 million Germans? Then peace would certainly be assured. For the Jew is the troublemaker, the warmonger, everywhere in the world.
In the same month, Julius Streicher wrote, "The war the German people are fighting today is a holy war. It is a war against the devil. The German people must win this war if the devil is to die and humanity is to live."

On November 16th, 1941, Goebbels connected Kaufman to Hitler's prophecy:
The Jews wanted war, and now they have it. But the Führer’s prophecy of 30 January 1939 to the German Reichstag is also being fulfilled: If international finance Jewry should succeed in plunging the world into war once again, the result will be not the Bolshevization of the world and thereby the victory of the Jews, but rather the destruction of the Jewish race in Europe.

We are seeing the fulfillment of the prophecy. The Jews are receiving a penalty that is certainly hard, but more than deserved. World Jewry erred in adding up the forces available to it for this war, and now is gradually experiencing the destructon that it planned for us, and would have carried out without a second thought if it had possessed the ability. It is perishing according its own law: “An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth.”
Goebbels, Streicher and Diewerge were unequivocally stating that the goal of Nazi anti-Jewish policy should be the same end product as they read in Kaufman: total biological extermination. However, whereas Kaufman was a lone crank with no influence in American politics or civil society, Goebbels et al were echoing the views of Hitler himself, who would repeat the same formula in speeches throughout 1942, such as here.
