QUOTES

I saw Hitler from close to for the first time. Face and head bad racial type, crossbred. Low receeding forehead, ugly nose, wide cheek bones, small eyes, dark hair, facial expression not that of one in full self control but of one who suffers from insane excitement. Finally an expression of complacent self-satisfaction.

                                        -----------------

During those years, a view of life and a definite outlook on the world took shape in my mind. These became the granite basis of my conduct at that time. Since then I have extended that foundation only very little and I have changed nothing of it. On the contrary.

                                                                        Hitler

The idea of struggle is as old as life itself, for life is only preserved because other living things perish through struggle. In this struggle the stronger, the more able, win, while the less able, the weak, lose. Struggle is the father of all things. It is not by the principles of humanity that man lives or is able to preserve himself above the animal world but solely by mean of the most brutal struggle.

                                                                        Hitler

The adulteration of the blood and racial deterioration conditional there by are the only causes that account for the decline of ancient civilizations, for it is never by wars that nations are ruined but by the loss of their powers of resistence, which are exclusively a charaterictic of pure racial blood.

                                                                        Hitler

Through a thousand years of incest, often practical within the narrowest circles, the Jews have generally preserved his race more sharply than many of the peoples among whom he lives, this power is the power of money, which multiples in his hands effortlessly and endlessly in the form of interest and imposes up on the people that most dangerous joke, whose original golden gleam makes it so difficult to forsee later consequences. Eveything which makes man strive for higher things, whether it is religion, socialism or democracy is to him all the means to the end of satisfying his lust for money and power. In their consequences his activities become a racial tuberculosis of the peoples. And this has the following result, anti-semitism for purely emotional reasons will find its final expression in the form of programs. The anti-semitism of reason however, must lead to the systematic combating and elimination of the jews. Its ultimate goal must be the total removal of the Jews, Of both these proposes only a government of natural impotence.

                                                                        Hitler.

If for a period of only 600 years individuals were to be sterilized who are physically degenerate or mentally diseased, humanity would not only be delivered from an immence misfortune but also restored to a state of general health such as we at present can hardly imagine. To achieve this, the state should first of all not leave the colonization of newly, aquired territory to a haphazard policy but should have it carried out under the guidance of definite principles. Specially competent committees ought to issue certificates to engage in colonization work and those certificates should guarantee the racial purity of the individuals in question. The racial idea embodied in the racial state must succeed in bringing about a nobler era, in which men will no longer pay exclusive attention to breeding and raising dogs and horses and cats but will endeavour to improve the breed of the human race itself. That will be an

era of silence for one class of people while the others will give their gifts and

to make their sacrifices joyfully.

                                                                        Hitler.

If anyone comes and tries to make conditions to me then I say to him, friend wait and see what conditions I have to make to you. I am not wooing the masses. After a year you shall judge my party comrades. If  I have not acted correctly then I shall place my office in your hands again. But until that moment this is the rule. I lead the movement alone and no-one shall set me conditions as long as I personally bear the responsibility. And I once more bear entire responsibility for everything that happens in the movement.

                                                                        Hitler

I shall give a propagandist reason for starting the war, no matter whether it is plausible or not. The victor will not be asked afterwards, whether he told the truth or not. When starting and waging war it is not right that matters but victory. Close your hearts to pity. Act brutally, eighty million people must obtain what is their right. Their existence must be made secure. The strongest man is right.

                                                                        Hitler

We must be prepared for the hardest struggle that a nation has ever had to face, only through this test of endurance, can we become ripe for the domination to which we are called. It will be my duty to carry on this war regardless of losses. The sacrifice of lives will be immence. We all of us know what world war means. As a people we shall be forged to the hardness of steel. All that is weakly will fall away from us. But the forged central block will last forever. I have no fear of anniliation. We shall have to abandon much that

is clear to us and today seems irreplacible. Cities will become heaps of ruin, noble monuments will disappear forever. This time our sacred soil will not be spared. But I am not afraid of this.

                                                                        Hitler

It is only a fraction of a second and then one is freed from everything and has quiet and eternal peace.

                                                                        Hitler

What luck for rulers that man does not think.

                                                                        Hitler

Exactly the same thing happened at forty degrees below zero in Poland when we had to carry off thousands and ten of thousands when we had to be so hard, as to shoot thousands of leading poles. When we had to be so hard because otherwise vengence would have fallen upon us later. It is a great deal easier in many cases to go with a company in some region suppressing a rebellious population at a low level of culture, carrying out executions, transporting people away, taking away howling and weeping women.

                                                                        Himmler.

In my view there are two kinds of responsibility in the life of the state. One kind of responsibility is for ones own sector for this one is of course, entirely responsible. But over and above this, I am of the opinion that in so far as one is one of the leaders for who else should bear responsibility for the course of events.

                                                                        Speer

Not much will be left of the Jews. The prophecy the Fuhrer made about them is beginning to come true in a most terrible manner.       Goebbels.

He, Hitler passes on the whole body of the generals, a judgement which is admittedly often predjudiced or unjust but by and large no doubt accurate. He had also explained to me why he no longer eats his lunch at the big table in the fuhrers headquarters. He can no longer bear the sight of the generals. All generals lie, he says, all generals are against national Socialism, all generals are reaction ones. They are disloyal they dont understand him at all. However he feels that general can no longer offend him. He feels alien to this class of person and will in future, remain more than ever remote from them.

                                                                                Vonx

I have never personally hated the Jews. But Himmler ordered it and explained the necessity but I never gave much mind as to whether it was wrong.

                                                                                Rudolf Hess

We were forced to come to the grim decision that this people must be made to disappear from the face of the earth. We have tackled and carried it through without our men and our leaders suffering any damage in their minds and souls.

                                                                                Himmler.

The law of existence requires uninterrupted killing, so that the better may live.

                                                                                Hitler

We cannot shoot these Jews, we cannot poison them. We shall however, take measures that shall lead to their eventual annihilation.

                                                                                Hans Frank

We love Adolf Hitler, because we believe with a faith that is deep and unshakable, that he was sent to us by God to save Germany.  Goering.

If the International Jewish finances should again succeed in plunging the nations into a world war, the result will be the annihilation of the Jewish race throughout Germany and Europe.

                                                                                Hitler

The fate of a few, filthy, lousy Jews and epileptics is not worth bothering about.

                                                                                Hitler

What the world shuts its ears to today, it will not be able to ignore in a years time.

                                                                                Hitler.

Georing has betrayed and deserted both me and his fatherland. Behind my back he has established contact with the enemy. Now nothing remains nothing is spared me, I immediately had Goering arrested as a traitor to the Reich.

                                                                                Hitler 1945

If anything happens to me, Germany will be left without a leader. I have no successor. The first Hess, is mad, the second, Goering has lost the sympathy of the people and the third, himmler, would be rejected by the people, besides he is so completely inartistic.

                                                                                Hitler

Churchill is the most bloodthirsty and amateurish strategist in history. For over five years he has been chasing around Europe like a madman in search of something he could set on fire. As a soldier he is a bad politician and as a politician as equally bad soldier. The gift which Churchill possesses is the gift to be with a pious expression on his face and to distort the truth until glorious

victories are made of the most humble defeats. His abnormal state of mind can only be explained as symptomatic of a paralytic disease or of a drunkards ravings.

                                                                                Hitler.

I cannot be insulted by Roosevelt for I consider him mad. First he incites war, then falsifies the causes, then arduously wraps himself in a cloak of Christian hypocrisy and slowly but surely leads mankind to a war.

                                                                                Hitler.

When the British Air Force drops two, three or four thousand kilos of bombs then we will, in one night, drop 150, 230, 300 or 400,000 kilos. When they declare that they will increase their attacks on our cities, then we will raise their cities to the ground.
