“When starting and waging a war it is not right that matters, but victory.”
—Adolf Hitler, Aug 1939. (via ifthisisaman)
“A tiny clique of ambitious, unconscionable, and at the same time criminal, stupid officers has forged a plot to eliminate me.”
—Adolf Hitler addressing Germany following the failed assassination attempt by Claus von Stauffenberg, July 1944. (via gedenkenbrauchtwissen)
“We are loathed everywhere: if we should lose tomorrow those of us still alive after so much suffering will be judged without justice. We shall be accused of an infinity of murder, as if everywhere, and at all times, men at war did not behave in the same way. Those who have an interest to putting an end to our ideals will ridicule everything we have believed in. We shall be spared nothing.”
—The Forgotten Soldier, Guy Sajer (via demons)
