Everything on this earth can be made into something better. Every defeat may be made the foundation of a future victory. Every lost war may be the cause of a later resurgence. Every visitation of distress can give a new impetus to human energy. And out of every oppression those forces can develop which bring about a new rebirth.
Adolf Hitler

The principal effect of every war is to destroy the flower of the nation. Germany needs peace and desires peace!
