"A possible reason why some German Jews supported Hitler may have been that they thought that his antisemitism was only for "stirring up the masses".

The seemingly ironic fact that a Jewish association advocated loyalty to the Nazi programme gave rise to a contemporary joke about Naumann and his followers ending their meeting by giving the Nazi salute and shouting "Down With Us!"

It must of been that part that I was thinking about.
