Now that I look back, I realize that a life predicated on being obedient is a very comfortable life indeed. Living in such a way reduces to a minimum one's own need to think.

To sum it all up, I must say that I regret nothing.

I will leap into my grave laughing because the feeling that I have five million human beings on my conscience is for me a source of extraordinary satisfaction.

Long live Germany. Long live Austria. Long live Argentina. These are the countries with which I have been most closely associated and I shall not forget them. I had to obey the rules of war and my flag. I am ready.

I am certain, however, that those responsible for the murder of millions of Germans will never be brought to justice.

I never did anything, great or small, without obtaining in advance express instructions from Adolf Hitler or any of my superiors.
