If today I stand here as a revolutionary, it is as a revolutionary
against the Revolution.
Adolf Hitler
Speech February 1924 at his trial for his
part in unsuccessful putsch against Republican government in
Munich, Germany |
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.
If you do not fight, life will never be won.
Adolf Hitler
Speech February 1928, quoted in Hitler,
a Study in Tyranny by Alan Bullock |
The world will not help, the people must help themselves.
Its own strength is the source of life. That strength the Almighty
has given us to use; that in it and through it, we may wage
the battle of our life The others in the past years have not
had the blessing of the Almighty - of Him who in the last resort,
whatever man may do, holds in His hands the final decision.
Lord God, let us never hesitate or play the coward.
Adolf Hitler
Speech March 1933 |
We are all proud that through God's powerful aid, we have
become once more true Germans.
Adolf Hitler
Speech March 1933 |
Who says I am not under the special protection of God.
Adolf Hitler
After winning elections of 1933 in Germany |
The German people has become strong again in spirit, strong
in will, strong in endurance, strong to bear all sacrifices.
Adolf Hitler
May Day 1933 |
When an opponent declares, "I will not come over to your
side," I calmly say, "Your child belongs to us already...
What are you? You will pass on. Your descendants, however, now
stand in the new camp. In a short time they will know nothing
else but this new community."
Adolf Hitler
Speech November 1933, quoted in The Rise
and Fall of the Third Reich by William Shirer |
A car for the people, an affordable Volkswagen, would bring
great joy to the masses and the problems of building such a
car must be faced with courage.
Adolf Hitler
At opening of 1934 Berlin Auto Show |
National Socialist Germany wants peace because of its fundamental
convictions. And it wants peace also owing to the realization
of the simple primitive fact that no war would be likely essentially
to alter the distress in Europe... The principal effect of every
war is to destroy the flower of the nation... Germany needs
peace and desires peace!
Adolf Hitler
Speech to the Reichstag in Berlin May 1935 |
Whoever lights the torch of war in Europe can wish for nothing
but chaos. We, however, live in the firm conviction our times
will see not the decline but the renaissance of the West. It
is our proud hope and our unshakable belief Germany can make
an imperishable contribution to this great work.
