Joseph Goebbels
Image
Propaganda is not an end in itself, but a means to an end. If the means achieves the end then the means is good... the new Ministry has no other aim than to unite the nation behind the ideal of the national revolution.
Joseph Goebbels
Image
I'm looking for the teacher who is simple enough to be great, and great enough to be simple.
Joseph Goebbels

Do you want total war? If necessary, do you want a war more total and radical than anything that we can even imagine today?
