Quote

It is thus necessary that the individual should finally come to realize that his own ego is of no importance in comparison with the existence of the nation, that the position of the individual is conditioned solely by the interests of the nation as a whole.

I was Europe's last chance.
Adolf Hitler
Image
The essential thing is the formation of the political will of the nation: that is the starting point for political action.
Adolf Hitler
Image
Bolshevism turns flourishing countryside into sinister wastes of ruins National Socialism transforms a Reich of destruction and misery into a healthy state with a flourishing economic life.
Adolf Hitler
Image
Secular schools can never be tolerated because such a school has no religious instruction and a general moral instruction without a religious foundation is built on air consequently, all character training and religion must be derived from faith . . . We need believing people.
Adolf Hitler
Image
Verily a man cannot serve two masters. And I consider the foundation or destruction of a religion far greater than the foundation or destruction of a state, let alone a party.
Adolf Hitler
Image
As soon as one point alone is removed from the sphere of dogmatic certainty, the discussion will not simply result in a new and better formulation which will have greater consistency but may easily lead to endless debates and general confusion.
Adolf Hitler
Image
National Socialist Germany wishes for peace because it recognises the simple fact that no war would be likely to substantially to ameliorate the state of distress in Europe. The distress would probably be made the greater thereby. If only the leaders and rulers had wanted peace, the people would never have wished for war.
Adolf Hitler
Image
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.
Adolf Hitler
Image
The National Government will regard it as its first and foremost duty to revive in the nation the spirit of unity and cooperation. It will preserve and defend those basic principles on which our nation has been built. It regards Christianity as the foundation of our national morality, and the family as the basis of national life.
Adolf Hitler
Image
Theater, art, literature, cinema, press, posters, and window displays must be cleansed of all manifestations of our rotting world and placed in the service of a moral, political, and cultural idea.
Adolf Hitler
Image
When understanding of the universe has become widespread, when the majority of men know that the stars are not sources of light but worlds, perhaps inhabited worlds like ours, then the Christian doctrine will be convicted of absurdity.
Adolf Hitler
Image
Die breite Masse einesVolkes?einer groÞen Lu« ge leichter zum Opfer f a« llt als einer kleinen. The broad mass of a nation?will more easily fall victim to a big lie than to a small one.
Adolf Hitler
Image
All propaganda must be confined to a few bare necessities and then must be expressed in a few stereotyped formulas . . . Only constant repetition will finally succeed in imprinting an idea upon the memory of a crowd.
Adolf Hitler
Image
It is a tragedy of the Germanic world that Jesus was Judaised, distorted, falsified and an alien Asiatic spirit was forced upon us. That is a crime we must repair.
Adolf Hitler
Image
All propaganda must be so popular and on such an intellectual level, that even the most stupid of those towards whom it is directed will understand it. Therefore, the intellectual level of the propaganda must be lower the larger the number of people who are to be influenced by it.
Adolf Hitler
Image
Only constant repetition will finally succeed in imprinting an idea on the memory of the crowd.
Adolf Hitler
Image
...absolute intolerance also provides long growth.
Adolf Hitler
Image
The more modest its intellectual ballast, the more exclusively it takes into consideration the emotions of the masses, the more effective [propaganda] will be.
Adolf Hitler
Image
Lord God, let us never hesitate or play the coward, let us never forget the duty which we have taken upon us.... We are all proud that through God's powerful aid we have become once more true Germans.
Adolf Hitler
Image
How to achieve the moral breakdown of the enemy before the war has started - that is the problem that interests me. Whoever has experienced war at the front will want to refrain from all avoidable bloodshed.
