Relations between Wilhelm II and Hitler between 1933-41?

by Peteb66

Hello there. After reading, Kershaw's 'Hitler' biography I have become interested in the relationship between the ex-Kaiser and Hitler. I know the two never met, as well as the infamous 'my army' telegram', but I was wondering if there are any sources about what they thought about each other, particularly Hitler? On a similar note, I am curious as to what the German population in general thought of Wilhelm and whether , apart from the army, there were any serious consideration to have the monarchy restored during the Nazi period as a tool for Hitler to use as propaganda? Thanks, Peter

As a follow up, do we know what Wilhelm II thought about the atrocities committed by the Nazi regime? Did he agree with their ideas about racial 'purity' and their other nonsense about Aryans and Untermenschen?
