This, dear troll, is what is known as a strawman. This is what I wrote
A leading Nazi (Reichsleiter, Gauleiter or Hitler himself) uttered the words Vernichtung and/or Ausrottung on average once a week during 1942-43 in public statements appearing in the German press, in specific relation to the Jews, often accompanied by further invective that added phrases like 'root and branch' (Kind und Kegel) and 'death sentence'.
See: Bernward Doerner, Die Deutschen und der Holocaust, as well as Peter Longerich, 'Davon haben wir nichts gewusst!' for multiple examples
These speeches were understood by contemporaries, both inside Nazi controlled Europe (we have the diary entries of Germans, Jews and others recording their reactions to the speeches), as well as outside Europe (in Switzerland and Britain, and other place) as meaning extermination in the literal sense.
The Nazi reaction to the UN Declaration of December 1942, which charged Germany with exterminating the Jews, was first to change the subject and witter on about alleged British atrocities, and then from the start of 1943 onwards, to ramp up the exterminatory rhetoric.
Let us take the famous Hitler speech of 30 September 1942 - a speech which came at a point in time when the outside world was quite clear that Jews were being deported en masse from western Europe. Dolfy said:
"If Jewry instigated an international world war for the elimination of the Aryan peoples of Europe, then not the Aryan peoples would be exterminated but Jewry would be. The wire-pullers of the madman in the White House succeeded in dragging one nation after another into world war. But, in the same measure, a wave of anti-Semitism engulfed one people after another and it will further expand and include one state after the next, that joins this war, and each one will turn into an anti-Semitic state over time. The Jews have once laughed at my prophecies, also in Germany. I don't know whether they are still laughing today, or if they have stopped laughing. But I can assure now as well: Everywhere they will stop laughing [Es wird Ihnen das Lachen ueberall vergehen]. And I shall be vindicated in this prophecy"
Commenting on this speech, a Swiss newspaper wrote
A Swiss newspaper, the Thurgauer Zeitung, commented after this speech [on 2 October 1942]
“There is no room for doubt any more: Hitler’s word can be interpreted only in the sense that the extermination of the Jews remains one of the points which will be carried out irrespective of the outcome of the war. Hitler had destroyed all illusions which still existed on the fate of the Jews…”
Laqueur, Terrible Secret, p.44
German:
“Wenn man bisher noch darüber im ungewissen sein konnte, was die nach dem Osten deportierten Juden zu erwarten hätten, so ist heute, nach Hitlers eindeutiger Erklärung, ein Zweifel darüber nicht mehr möglich. Hitlers Worte können nur in dem Sinn interpretiert werden, dass die Ausrottung der Juden einer jener Punkte seines Programms bleibt, die verwirklicht werden, wie auch der Krieg ausgehe”
- cited in Dörner, p.217
while the Manchester Guardian on October 27, 1942 warned its readers not to take Hitler's speech "as just another wild and whirling threat" since Hitler "aims literally at the extermination of the Jews in Europe so far as his hand can reach them".
In Romania, the Jewish diarist Mihail Sebastian noted on October 1 that " ‘The Jews will be exterminated,’ Hitler said in his speech yesterday. He hardly said anything else.”
In Dresden, Victor Klemperer noted,
"“Hitler’s speech at the beginning of the Winter Aid campaign. The same old song mercilessly exaggerated. . . . Merciless threats against England, against the Jews in all the world, who wanted to exterminate the Aryan nations of Europe and whom he is exterminating. . . . The shocking thing is not that a crazy man raves in ever greater frenzy, but that Germany accepts it, for the tenth year now and in the fourth year of the war, and that it [Germany] continues to allow itself to be bled . . .”
Many more such examples could be given. On 17 December 1942, the United Nations declared
'[...] From all the occupied countries Jews are being transported in conditions of appalling horror and brutality to Eastern Europe. In Poland, which has been made the principal Nazi slaughterhouse, the ghettos established by the German invader are being systematically emptied of all Jews except a few highly skilled workers required for war industries. None of those taken away are ever heard of again. The able-bodied are slowly worked to death in labor camps. The infirm are left to die of exposure and starvation or are deliberately massacred in mass executions. The number of victims of these bloody cruelties is reckoned in many hundreds of thousands of entirely innocent men, women and children.'"
There were protest meetings before the declaration, about which Goebbels commented in his diary on December 14 1942
All this won't help the Jews. The Jewish race has prepared this war, it is the spiritual instigator of all this misfortune which came upon the world. Jewry must pay for its crimes, as the Fuehrer prophesied at the time in his Reichstag speech; it means the wiping out [Ausloeschung] of the Jewish race in Europe and possibly in the entire world
Two days before, Goebbels held a conference at the Propaganda Ministry where he was protocolled as saying
Goebbels at Propagandakonferenz of 12 December 1942: “Da die gegnerischen Nachrichten über die angeblichen deutschen Gräueltaten an Juden und Polen immer massiver werden, der Fall aber so liegt, dass wir nicht allzu viel an Gegenbeweisen anzuführen haben, empfiehlt der Minister, entsprechend dem Prinzip, dass der Angriff die beste Parade ist, von jetzt an ganz systematisch – gleichgültig, ob die Engländer etwas zu der Frage sagen oder nicht – unsererseits eine Gräuelpropaganda aufzumachen und unter allerstärkster Betonung über englishce Gräueltaten in Indien, im Nahen Osten, in Iran, Aegypten usw., überall, wo Engländer sitzen, zu berichten. Genau wie die Engländer können auch wir uns dabei auf ganz vage Quellenangaben beziehen, indem etwas gesagt wird: ‘Vertrauenswürdige Männer, die sobene aus Kairo in Lissabon eingetroffen sind, melden, das soundsoviele führende Aegypter erschossen worden sind, usw’. Vor allem in den Auslandssendungen müssen Meldungen dieser Art in grösstem Umfange herausgebracht werden; das Thema muss aber auch in der deutschen Presse behandelt werden, um die Dinge zum Tragen zu bringen. Der Minister ist der Ansicht, dass es auf diese Weise gelingen wird, die Engländer von ihrer Gräuelpropaganda abzubringen und sie in die Defensive zu drängen.”
- cited in Longerich, p.257
In other words, Goebbels had nothing to refute the reports which were piling up in the Allied press since the end of November, so he was going to change the subject and get the Nazi press to play up supposed British atrocities in Egypt.
Yet this still didn't shut Clubfoot up. In May 1943, he wrote an article in Das Reich entitled 'The War and the Jews'
"Kein prophetisches Wort des Fuehrers bewahrheitet sich mit einer so unheimlichen Sicherheit und Zwangslaeufigkeit wie das, wenn das Judentum es fertig bringen werde, einen zweiten Weltkrieg zu provozieren, dieser nicht zur Vernichtung der arischen Menschheit, sondern zur Ausloeschung der juedischen Rasse fuehren werde. Dieser Prozess ist von einer weltgeschichtlichen Bedeutung, und da er vermutlich unabdingbare Folgen mit sich ziehen wird, hat er auch seine Zeit noetig. Aber aufzuhalten is er nicht mehr...
Wir sprechen in dieser Frage ohne jedes Ressentiment. Die Zeit is zu ernst, um naive Rachplaene zu spinnen. Es handelt sich hier um ein Weltproblem erster Ordnung, das von der heute lebenden Generation geloest werden kann und auch geloest werden muss. Hier haben sentimentale Erwaegungen keinen Platz. Wir stehen im Judentum der Verkoerperung des allgemeinen Weltverfalls gegenueber. Entweder brechen wir diese Gefahr, oder die Voelker werden unter ihr zerbrechen... Als sie gegen das deutsche Volk den Plan einer totalen Vernichtung fassten, unterschrieben sie damit ihr eigenes Todesurteil. Auch hier wird die Weltgeschichte ein Weltgericht sein."
So, the Jews signed their own death sentence. Hmmm... I wonder what that could mean.
On 9 October 1943, Goebbels also commented on a speech to the Reichs- and Gauleiter given by Himmler at Posen.
As far as the Jewish question is concerned, he [Himmler] gives a very unvarnished and frank presentation. He is convinced that we can solve the Jewish question throughout Europe by the end of this year. He proposes the harshest and most radical solution: to exterminate the Jews root and branch [Kind und Kegel]. It is certainly a logical solution, even if it is a brutal one. We have to take the responsibility of completely solving this issue in our time. Later generations will certainly not handle this problem with the courage and the ardor that are ours.
On March 14, 1945, Goebbels was even more blunt
The Jews speak up again. Their spokesman is the well-known and notorious Leopold Schwarzschild who now pleads in the American press against any milder treatment of Germany. These Jews should be killed like rats, whenever one gets the possibility to do it. In Germany, thank god, we already took care of it quite seriously. I hope that the world will adopt this as an example.
As I said, this could be repeated for many other weeks and many other Nazi leaders, so it's easier just to point you at Doerner and Longerich.
The Nazis shouted their intentions from the rooftops.
