I Ought To Have Seized The Initiative In 1938 Instead Of Allowing Myself To Be Forced Into War In 1939; For War Was, In Any Case, Unavoidable. However, You Can Hardly Blame Me If The British And The French Accepted At Munich Every Demand I Made Of Them! (14th February 1945)

Churchill Is The Very Type Of A Corrupt Journalist. There Is Not A Worse Prostitute In Politics. He Himself Has Written That It'sunimaginable What Can Be Done In War With The Help Of Lies.

This Pride Of Race Is A Quality Which The German, Fundamentally, Does Not Possess. The Reason For This Is That For These Last Three Centuries The Country Has Been Torn By Internal Dissension And Religious Wars And Has Been Subjected To A Variety Of Foreign Influences, To The Influence, For Example, Of Christianity-for Christianity Is Not A Natural Religion For The Germans, But A Religion That Has Been Imported And Which Strikes No Responsive Chord In Their Hearts And Is Foreign To The Inherent Genius Of The Race.

Moreover, A Policy Of Laissez Faire In This Sphere Is Not Only Cruelty To The Individual Guiltless Victims But Also To The Nation As A Whole... If The Churches Were To Declare Themselves Ready To Take Over The Treatment And Care Of Those Suffering From Hereditary Diseases, We Should Be Quite Ready To Refrain From Sterilizing Them.

Dunkirk Has Fallen... With It Has Ended The Greatest Battle Of World History. Soldiers! My Confidence In You Knew No Bounds. You Have Not Disappointed Me.

Due To His Own Original Special Nature, The Jew Cannot Possess A Religious Institution, If For No Other Reason Because He Lacks Idealism In Any Form, And Hence Belief In A Hereafter Is Absolutely Foreign To Him. And A Religion In The Aryan Sense Cannot Be Imagined Which Lacks The Conviction Of Survival After Death In Some Form. Indeed, The Talmud Is Not A Book To Prepare A Man For The Hereafter, But Only For A Practical And Profitable Life In This World.

Its Chief Object Is To Win Back Former Churchgoers And Assist Those Who Have Not Previously Belonged To Any Religious Congregation In Obtaining Church Membership.

State Authority Can Never Be An End In Itself; For, If That Were So, Any Kind Of Tyranny Would Be Inviolable And Sacred. If A Government Uses The Instruments Of Power In Its Hands For The Purpose Of Leading A People To Ruin, Then Rebellion Is Not Only The Right But Also The Duty Of Every Individual Citizen.

If In The Past, After Every Lost War, The Unlucky Vanquished Were Divested Forever Of Their Honor And Their Equality Of Rights, The League Of Nations Would Even Now Have To Be Satisfied With A Whole Series Of Non-equal And Thus Ultimately Dishonorable And Inferior Nations.

Faith Is Harder To Shake Than Knowledge, Love Succumbs Less To Change Than Respect, Hate Is More Enduring Than Aversion, And The Impetus To The Mightiest Upheavals On This Earth Has At All Times Consisted Less In A Scientific Knowledge Dominating The Masses Than In A Fanaticism Which Inspired Them And Sometimes In A Hysteria Which Drove Them Forward.

We Were Not Foolish Enough To Try To Make A Currency [backed By] Gold Of Which We Had None, But For Every Mark That Was Issued We Required The Equivalent Of A Mark's Worth Of Work Done Or Goods Produced ... We Laugh At The Time Our National Financiers Held The View That The Value Of A Currency Is Regulated By The Gold And Securities Lying In The Vaults Of A State Bank.

While We Destroyed The Centre Party, We Have Not Only Brought Thousands Of Priests Back Into The Church, But To Millions Of Respectable People We Have Restored Their Faith In Their Religion And In Their Priests.

Yet, Because Of Their Obviousness, The General Run Of People Disregard Such Truths Or At Least They Do Not Make Them The Object Of Any Concious Knowledge. People Are So Bliend To Some Of The Simplest Facts In Everyday Life That They Are Highly Surprised When Somebody Calls Attention To What Everybody Ought To Know.

When People Attempt To Rebel Against The Iron Logic Of Nature, They Come Into Conflict With The Very Same Principles To Which They Owe Their Existence As Human Beings. Their Actions Against Nature Must Lead To Their Own Downfall.

Not Until My Fourteenth Or Fifteenth Year Did I Begin To Come Across The Word 'jew,' With Any Frequency, Partly In Connection With Political Discussions.... For The Jew Was Still Characterized For Me By Nothing But His Religion, And Therefore, On Grounds Of Human Tolerance, I Maintained My Rejection Of Religious Attacks In This Case As In Others. Consequently, The Tone, Particularly That Of The Viennese Anti-semitic Press, Seemed To Me Unworthy Of The Cultural Tradition Of A Great Nation.

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.

Struggle Is The Father Of All Things. It Is Not By The Principles Of Humanity That Man Lives Or Is Able To Preserve Himself Above The Animal World, But Solely By Means Of The Most Brutal Struggle.

Christianity Is The Worst Of The Regressions That Mankind Can Ever Have Undergone, And It's The Jew Who, Thanks To This Diabolic Invention, Has Thrown Him Back Fifteen Centuries. The Only Thing That Would Be Still Worse Would Be Victory For The Jew Through Bolshevism. If Bolshevism Triumphed, Mankind Would Lose The Gift Of Laughter And Joy.
