The idea of freedom can never be disassociated from real Prussia. The real Prussian spirit means a synthesis between restraint and freedom, between voluntary subordination and conscientious leadership, between pride in oneself and consideration for others, between rigor and compassion. Unless a balance is kept between these qualities, the Prussian spirit is in danger of degenerating into soulless routine and narrow-minded dogmatism.

Every day, we are assassinating nearly 16,000 additional victims.

It is almost certain that we will fail. But how will future history judge the German people, if not even a handful of men had the courage to put an end to that criminal?

We have to show the world that not all of us are like him. Otherwise, this will always be Hitler's Germany.

Hitler is a dancing dervish. He must be shot down.

I cannot understand how people can still call themselves Christians and not be furious adversaries of Hitler's regime.

A man's moral worth is established only at the point where he is ready to give up his life in defense of his convictions.
