I am convinced that 1941 will be the crucial year of a great
New Order in Europe. The world shall open up for everyone. Privileges
for individuals, the tyranny of certain nations and their financial
rulers shall fall. And last of all this year will help to provide
the foundations of a real understanding among peoples, and with
it the certainty of conciliation among nations. . . . Those
nations who are still opposed to us will some day recognize
the greater enemy within. Then they will join us in a combined
front, a front against Jewish exploitation and racial degeneration.
Adolf Hitler
Speech at Berlin Sportspalast January 1941 |
The war against Russia will be such that it cannot be conducted
in a knightly fashion. This struggle is one of ideologies and
racial differences and will have to be conducted with unprecedented,
unmerciful and unrelenting harshness.
Adolf Hitler
To conference of senior officers of Wehrmacht,
March 1941 |
The heaviest blow that ever struck humanity was the coming
of Christianity. Bolshevism is Christianity's illegitimate child.
Both are inventions of the Jew.
Adolf Hitler
Remarks June 1941 recorded by Martin Bormann,
published in Hitler's Table Talk (1953) |
He [Winston Churchill] is the most bloodthirsty or amateurish
strategist in history . . . For over five years this man has
been chasing around Europe like a madman in search of something
that he could set on fire. . . As a soldier he is a bad politician
and as a politician is an equally bad soldier. . . The gift
Mr. Churchill possesses is the gift to lie with a pious expression
on his face and to distort the truth until finally glorious
victories are made out of the most terrible defeats. . . Churchill,
one of the most hopeless dabblers in strategy, thus managed
to lose two theaters of war [in Yugoslavia and Greece] at one
single blow. In any other country he would be court-martialed
. . . His abnormal state of mind can only be explained as symptomatic
either of a paralytic disease or of a drunkard's ravings.
Adolf Hitler
Speech to Reichstag in Berlin May 1941 |
After fifteen years of work I have achieved, as a common German
soldier and merely with my fanatical will-power, the unity of
the German nation, and have freed it from the death sentence
of Versailles.
Adolf Hitler
Proclamation December 1941, addressing
troops after taking over as Commander-in-Chief of the army |
I don't see much future for the Americans. It's a decayed
country. And they have their racial problem, and the problem
of social of social inequalities . . . Everything about the
behavior of American society reveals that it's half Judaized,
and the other half negrified. How can one expect a State like
that to hold together - a country where everything is built
on the dollar?
Adolf Hitler
Remarks January 1942 recorded by Martin
Bormann, published in Hitler's Table Talk (1953) |
Churchill is the very type of a corrupt journalist. There's
not a worse prostitute in politics. He himself has written that
it's unimaginable what can be done in war with the help of lies.
He's an utterly repulsive creature. I'm convinced that he has
his place of refuge ready beyond the Atlantic. He obviously
won't seek sanctuary in Canada. In Canada he'd be beaten up.
He'll go to his friends the Yankees. As soon as this damnable
winter is over, we'll remedy all that.
Adolf Hitler
Remarks February 1942 recorded by Martin
Bormann, published in Hitler's Table Talk (1953) |
When I recall my teachers at school, I realise that half of
them were abnormal. . . . We pupils of old Austria were brought
up to respect old people and women. But on our professors we
had no mercy; they were our natural enemies. The majority of
them were somewhat mentally deranged, and quite a few ended
their days as honest-to-God lunatics! . . . I was in particular
bad odor with the teachers. I showed not the slightest aptitude
for foreign languages - though I might have, had not the teacher
been a congenital idiot. I could not bear the sight of him.
Adolf Hitler
August 1942, quoted in Hitler's Secret
Conversations 1942-44 |
Our teachers were absolute tyrants. They had no sympathy with
youth; their one object was to stuff our brains and turn us
into erudite apes like themselves. If any pupil showed the slightest
trace of originality, they persecuted him relentlessly, and
the only model pupils whom I have ever got to know have all
been failures in after-life.
Adolf Hitler
September 1942, quoted in Hitler's Secret
Conversations 1942-44 |
