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
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.
Adolf Hitler
Speech to the Reichstag in Berlin May 1935
I go the way that Providence dictates with the assurance of a sleepwalker.
Adolf Hitler
Speech in Munich March 1936, quoted in Max Domarus (ed.) Hitler: Reden und Proklamationen 1932-1945 The sportive, knightly battle awakens the best human characteristics. It doesn't separate, but unites the combatants in understanding and respect. He also helps to connect the countries in the spirit of peace. That's why the Olympic Flame should never die.
Adolf Hitler
Commenting on 1936 Olympic Games The German people are not a warlike nation. It is a soldierly one, which means it does not want a war, but does not fear it. It loves peace but also loves its honor and freedom.
Adolf Hitler
To Reichstag in Berlin February 1936 It is the last territorial claim which I have to make in Europe, but it is the claim from which I will not recede and which, God-willing, I will make good.
Adolf Hitler
Referring to The Sudetenland, speech at Berlin Sportpalast September 1938 With regard to the problem of the Sudeten Germans, my patience is now at an end!
Adolf Hitler
In speech at Berlin Sportpalast September 1938 Well, he [Chamberlain] seemed such a nice old gentleman, I thought I would give him my autograph as a souvenir.
Adolf Hitler
After Munich Agreement September 1938 I believe that it was God's will to send a youth from here into the Reich, to let him grow up, to raise him to be the leader of the nation so as to enable him to lead back his homeland into the Reich.
Adolf Hitler
April 1938, closing speech of election campaign in Vienna on eve of polling If the international Jewish financiers . . . should again succeed in plunging the nations into a world war the result will be . . . the annihilation of the Jewish race throughout Europe.
Adolf Hitler
Speech to Reichstag in Berlin January 1939 In starting and waging a war it is not right that matters, but victory.
Adolf Hitler
Said in 1939, quoted in The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich by William Shirer England, unlike in 1914, will not allow herself to blunder into a war lasting for years.... Such is the fate of rich countries….Not even England has the money nowadays to fight a world war. What should England fight for? You don't get yourself killed over an ally.
Adolf Hitler
Said in 1939
I am convinced that 1941 will be the crucial year of a great New Order in Europe. The world shall open up for everyone. Privileges for individuals, the tyranny of certain nations and their financial rulers shall fall. And last of all this year will help to provide the foundations of a real understanding among peoples, and with it the certainty of conciliation among nations. . . . Those nations who are still opposed to us will some day recognize the greater enemy within. Then they will join us in a combined front, a front against Jewish exploitation and racial degeneration.
Adolf Hitler
Speech at Berlin Sportspalast January 1941 The war against Russia will be such that it cannot be conducted in a knightly fashion. This struggle is one of ideologies and racial differences and will have to be conducted with unprecedented, unmerciful and unrelenting harshness.
Adolf Hitler
To conference of senior officers of Wehrmacht, March 1941 The heaviest blow that ever struck humanity was the coming of Christianity. Bolshevism is Christianity's illegitimate child. Both are inventions of the Jew.
Adolf Hitler
Remarks June 1941 recorded by Martin Bormann, published in Hitler's Table Talk (1953) He [Winston Churchill] is the most bloodthirsty or amateurish strategist in history . . . For over five years this man has been chasing around Europe like a madman in search of something that he could set on fire. . . As a soldier he is a bad politician and as a politician is an equally bad soldier. . . The gift Mr. Churchill possesses is the gift to lie with a pious expression on his face and to distort the truth until finally glorious victories are made out of the most terrible defeats. . . Churchill, one of the most hopeless dabblers in strategy, thus managed to lose two theaters of war [in Yugoslavia and Greece] at one single blow. In any other country he would be court-martialed . . . His abnormal state of mind can only be explained as symptomatic either of a paralytic disease or of a drunkard's ravings.
Adolf Hitler
Speech to Reichstag in Berlin May 1941 After fifteen years of work I have achieved, as a common German soldier and merely with my fanatical will-power, the unity of the German nation, and have freed it from the death sentence of Versailles.
Adolf Hitler
Proclamation December 1941, addressing troops after taking over as Commander-in-Chief of the army I don't see much future for the Americans. It's a decayed country. And they have their racial problem, and the problem of social of social inequalities . . . Everything about the behavior of American society reveals that it's half Judaized, and the other half negrified. How can one expect a State like that to hold together - a country where everything is built on the dollar?
Adolf Hitler
Remarks January 1942 recorded by Martin Bormann, published in Hitler's Table Talk (1953) Churchill is the very type of a corrupt journalist. There's not a worse prostitute in politics. He himself has written that it's unimaginable what can be done in war with the help of lies. He's an utterly repulsive creature. I'm convinced that he has his place of refuge ready beyond the Atlantic. He obviously won't seek sanctuary in Canada. In Canada he'd be beaten up. He'll go to his friends the Yankees. As soon as this damnable winter is over, we'll remedy all that.
Adolf Hitler
Remarks February 1942 recorded by Martin Bormann, published in Hitler's Table Talk (1953) When I recall my teachers at school, I realise that half of them were abnormal. . . . We pupils of old Austria were brought up to respect old people and women. But on our professors we had no mercy; they were our natural enemies. The majority of them were somewhat mentally deranged, and quite a few ended their days as honest-to-God lunatics! . . . I was in particular bad odor with the teachers. I showed not the slightest aptitude for foreign languages - though I might have, had not the teacher been a congenital idiot. I could not bear the sight of him.
Adolf Hitler
August 1942, quoted in Hitler's Secret Conversations 1942-44 Our teachers were absolute tyrants. They had no sympathy with youth; their one object was to stuff our brains and turn us into erudite apes like themselves. If any pupil showed the slightest trace of originality, they persecuted him relentlessly, and the only model pupils whom I have ever got to know have all been failures in after-life.
Adolf Hitler
September 1942, quoted in Hitler's Secret Conversations 1942-44 Is Paris burning?
Adolf Hitler
Attributed enquiry by telephone to General Alfred Jodl, August 1944, after Hitler had ordered Parish to be destroyed rather than allow it to fall into Allied hands
If the war is lost, the nation will also perish. This fate is inevitable. There is no necessity to take into consideration the basis which the people will need to continue a most primitive existence. On the contrary, it will be better to destroy things ourselves because this nation will have proved to be the weaker one and the future will belong solely to the stronger eastern nation [Russia]. Besides, those who remain after the battle are only the inferior ones, for the good ones have been killed.
Adolf Hitler
On his infamous March 1945 'scorched earth' directive that Germany be made one vast wasteland, explaining it to Albert Speer We will not capitulate - no, never! We may be destroyed, but if we are, we shall drag a world with us - a world in flames.
Adolf Hitler The seed has been sown that will grow one day . . . to the glorious rebirth of the National Socialist movement of a truly united nation.
Adolf Hitler
From Hitler's last will and testament, dictated to his secretary Traudl Junge in his Berlin Führerbunker on 29th April 1945, the day he and Eva Braun married - both committed suicide the next day. It is not truth that matters, but victory.

Adolf Hitler It must be thoroughly understood that the lost land will never be won back by solemn appeals to the God, nor by hopes in any League of Nations, but only by the force of arms.
Adolf Hitler How to achieve the moral breakdown of the enemy before the war has started -- that is the problem that interests me. Whoever has experienced war at the front will want to refrain from all avoidable bloodshed.

Adolf Hitler The great masses of the people will more easily fall victim to a big lie than to a small one.
Adolf Hitler
Mein Kampf The personification of the devil as the symbol of all evil assumes the living shape of the Jew.
Adolf Hitler
Mein Kampf Was there any form of filth or profligacy, particularly in cultural life, without at least one Jew involved in it? If you cut even cautiously into such an abscess, you found, like a maggot in a rotting body, often dazzled by the sudden light - a kike!
Adolf Hitler
Mein Kampf I believe that I am acting in accordance with the will of the Almighty Creator: by defending myself against the Jew, I am fighting for the work of the Lord.
Adolf Hitler
Mein Kampf The broad masses of a population are more amenable to the appeal of rhetoric than to any other force.
Adolf Hitler
Mein Kampf The [Nazi party] should not become a constable of public opinion, but must dominate it. It must not become a servant of the masses, but their master!
Adolf Hitler
Mein Kampf There must be no majority decisions, but only responsible persons, and the word 'council' must be restored to its original meaning. Surely every man will have advisers by his side, but the decision will be made by one man.
Adolf Hitler
Mein Kampf Never forget that the most sacred right on this earth is man's right to have the earth to till with his own hands, the most sacred sacrifice the blood that a man sheds for this earth....
