We shall go down in history as the greatest statesmen of all time,or as the greatest criminals

One can only repeat about air warfare: we are in a position of almost hopeless inferiority and must grin and bear it as we take the blows from the English and the Americans. [Germans in the bombed cities] are gradually beginning to lose their courage. Hell like that is hard to bear for any length of time, especially since the inhabitants along the Rhine and Ruhr see no prospect of improvement.

Revolutions are spiritual acts. They appear first in people, then in politics and the economy. New people form new structures. The transformation we want is first of all spiritual; that will necessarily change the way things are.

Do you want total war? If necessary, do you want a war more total and radical than anything that we can even imagine today?

We have made the Reich by propaganda

It is not propaganda’s task to be intelligent, its task is to lead to success.

Every age that has historical status is governed by aristocracies.
