It's east to start a war in any country
If people say that here and there someone has been taken away and maltreated, I can only reply: You can't make an omelette without breaking eggs.
After the United States gobbled up California and half of Mexico, and we were stripped down to nothing, territorial expansion suddenly becomes a crime. It's been going on for centuries, and it will still go on.
It is silly to appeal to people's moral sense.
The people were merely to acknowledge the authority of the Fuehrer, or, let us say, to declare themselves in agreement with the Fuehrer. If they gave the Fuehrer their confidence then it was their concern to exercise the other functions. Thus, not the individual persons were to be selected according to the will of the people, but solely the leadership itself.
Above all, I shall see to it that the enemy will not be able to drop any bombs.
The Americans are good about making fancy cars and refrigerators, but that doesn't mean they are any good at making aircraft. They are bluffing. They are excellent at bluffing.
In Berlin Jews controlled almost one hundred percent of the theaters and cinemas before the rise to power.
No enemy bomber can reach the Ruhr. If one reaches the Ruhr, my name is not Goering. You may call me Meyer.
Der Sieger wird immer der Richter und der Besiegte stets der Angeklagte sein. The victor will always be the judge, and the vanquished the accused.
The only one who really knows about the Reichstag is I, because I set it on fire!
I would have let you shoot me without further ado! But it is not possible to hang the German Reichsmarschall! I cannot permit this. . . . I have no moral obligation to submit to the justice of my enemies. I have therefore chosen the manner of death of the great Hannibal.
If I didn't have a sense of humor, how could I stand this trial now?
Why, of course, the people don't want war.
In Hitler the rare union has taken place between the most acute logical thinker and truly profound philosopher, and the iron man of action. . . I follow no leadership but that of Adolf Hitler and of God.
Every bullet fired from the barrel of a police pistol was my bullet. If you call that murder, then I am the murderer.
I herewith commission you to carry out all preparations with regard to. . . a total solution of the Jewish question in those territories of Europe which are under German influence.
But, after all, it is the leaders of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders.
I especially denounce the terrible mass murders, which I cannot understand. . . I never ordered any killing or tortures where I had the power to prevent such actions!
I joined the party because I was a revolutionary, not because of any ideological nonsense.
