How fortunate for governments that people do not think. There is no thinking except in giving and executing commands. If it were otherwise human society could not exist.

You only have to kick in the door and the whole rotten structure will come crashing down.
Adolf Hitler
Image
Differentiation of treatment is not motivated by the difference of value of the two races, but of the fundamental difference of their respective natures.
Adolf Hitler
Image
Germany must either be a world power or there will be no Germany
Adolf Hitler
Image
If the question is still asked why National Socialism combats the Jewish element in Germany so fanatically, the answer can only be, because National Socialism wishes to establish a real community of the people. Since we are National Socialists, we cannot permit an alien race to impose itself upon our working people as their leaders.
Adolf Hitler
Image
I certainly am not alone in the world with this demand I am in the best of company. Let it be said that no self-respecting people and no responsible government would be able to think or much less act differently in such a case. The world has already seen a great many wars lost in the past.

Surrender is forbidden. Sixth Army will hold their positions to the last man and the last round and by their heroic endurance will make an unforgettable contribution toward the establishment of a defensive front and the salvation of the Western world.
Adolf Hitler
Image
I desire a violent, domineering, fearless, and ferocious upcoming generation. It must be able to bear pain. It must show no signs whatsoever of weakness or tenderness. The free and magnificent predator must once again glint from their eyes.
Adolf Hitler
Image
When I came to power, I did not want the concentration camps to become old age pensioners homes, but instruments of terror.
Adolf Hitler
Image
For God's will gave men their form, their essence and their abilities. Anyone who destroys His work is declaring war on the Lord's creation, the divine will.
Adolf Hitler
Image
Czechoslovakia provided Soviet Russia with landing fields for aircraft, thereby increasing the threat against Germany.
Adolf Hitler
Image
For a people, as for an individual, it is tragic to have ambitions and to lack both the means essential to their fulfillment and any hope of acquiring those means.
Adolf Hitler
Image
Neither I nor anyone else in Germany would even consider placing any conditions on our possible return to the League of Nations. Whether or not we return to this body depends exclusively upon whether we can belong to it as a completely equal nation. This is not a condition, but a matter of course.
Adolf Hitler
Image
The spark of a genius exists in the brain of the truly creative man from the hour of his birth. True genius is always inborn and never cultivated, let alone learned.
Adolf Hitler
Image
Nudity is undignified and an error of taste
Adolf Hitler
Image
If you win, you need not have to explain...If you lose, you should not be there to explain!
Adolf Hitler
Image
In late marriage alone lies the compulsion to retain an institution which, twist and turn as you like, is and remains a disgrace to humanity, an institution which is damned ill-suited to a being who with his usual modesty likes to regard himself as the 'image' of God.
Adolf Hitler
Image
Either one is factually equal, and consequently morally equal as well on the other hand, if one is morally equal, there is no reason why one should contest factual equality of rights or simply refuse to grant them.
Adolf Hitler
Image
In order to persuade Britain to pack up, to compel her to make peace, it was essential to rob her of her hope of being able still to confront us, on the continent itself, with an adversary of a stature equal to our own.
Adolf Hitler
Image
There must be no majority decisions, but only responsible persons, and the word 'council' must be restored to its original meaning. Surely every man will have advisers by his side, but the decision will be made by one man.
Adolf Hitler
