Hitler Quotes

“The Holocaust happened because of the constructed belief in one untrue conspiracy theory, and the denial of its genocide afterward came from the creation and propagation of another.”
― Stewart Stafford

“Hitler’s Nazi mob didn’t think of themselves as the bad guys. They thought of themselves as the victims of evil foreigners. Just like Trump’s MAGA mob.”
― Oliver Markus Malloy, How to Defeat the Trump Cult: Want to Save Democracy? Share This Book

“I look at the world around me and I see that many of Adolf Hitlers dreams have come true: Weapons of mass destruction, huge rockets, surveillance of the masses, world domination, mistreatment of the poor, sick and elderly, to name just a few.”
― Steven Magee

“Modern corporate controlled governments are making Adolf Hitler look like an amateur.”
― Steven Magee

“During the Cold War between the democratic West and the Soviet Union, there were, of course, many in the West who said, ‘Better dead than Red [communist]’; but many others subscribed to the slogan associated with Bertrand Russell, the twentieth century’s leading atheist philosopher: ‘Better Red than dead.’ Russell’s slogan was consistent with that of much of the well-educated class in Britain. On February 8, 1933, right after Hitler came to power in Germany, the Oxford Union Debating Society held a debate on the resolution, ‘This House will in no circumstances fight for its King and Country.’ The resolution passed 275–153. The vote made an impression on Hitler and Mussolini, as it revealed that many of England’s best educated would prefer to live under Nazism or Fascism than to fight for freedom and risk death.”
― Dennis Prager, The Rational Bible: Exodus

“But first Hitler, taken in by Mussolini’s mythmaking, attempted a “march” of his own. On November 8, 1923, during a nationalist rally in a Munich beer hall, the Bürgerbräukeller, Hitler attempted to kidnap the leaders of the Bavarian government and force them to support a coup d’état against the federal government in Berlin. He believed that if he took control of Munich and declared a new national government, the Bavarian civil and military leaders would be forced by public opinion to support him. He was equally convinced that the local army authorities would not oppose the Nazi coup because the World War I hero General Ludendorff was marching beside him.

Hitler underestimated military fidelity to the chain of command. The conservative Bavarian minister-president Gustav von Kahr gave orders to stop Hitler’s coup, by force if necessary. The police fired on the Nazi marchers on November 9 as they approached a major square (possibly returning a first shot from Hitler’s side). Fourteen putschists and four policemen were killed. Hitler was arrested and imprisoned,8 along with other Nazis and their sympathizers. The august General Ludendorff was released on his own recognizance. Hitler’s “Beer Hall Putsch” was thus put down so ignominiously by the conservative rulers of Bavaria that he resolved never again to try to gain power through force. That meant remaining at least superficially within constitutional legality, though the Nazis never gave up the selective violence that was central to the party’s appeal, or hints about wider aims after power.”
― Robert O. Paxton, The Anatomy of Fascism

“Aşkta Hitler, sokakta Shakespeare, yatakta Hektor'um: Senin için beş paşa etmesem de olur çünkü seni seviyorum. Pes sühan kütah bayed vesselam: 'Ben de seni' deme; bana aniden bir şeyler söyle.”
― Ozan Önen, Babam Beni Şahdamarımdan Öptü

“Felaketin yarattığı şok Bevin gibi birkaç gibi becerikli adamı öne çıkardı ama genel olarak hâlâ 1931-1939 yıllarını Hitler'in tehlikeli olduğunu bile keşfedemeden geçirmiş insanlar tarafından yönetiliyoruz. Eğitilemezlerden oluşan bir kuşak, cesetlerden yapılmış bir kolye gibi boynumuzda asılı.”
― George Orwell, Why I Write

“This exchange is what an unconditional surrender sounds like. It is the ultimate form of diplomatic coercion. The city of Berlin had been turned into rubble. The defeated country was at the mercy of its enemy. Coercion was the means by which unconditional surrender was obtained. Under the circumstances, diplomatic prowess was meaningless. Only military superiority mattered. A few hours after the unsuccessful negotiation attempt, Chancellor Joseph Goebbels committed suicide. On the next day, 2 May 1945, Gen. Hans Krebs, Chief of the General Staff (OKH), also committed suicide. The above conversation is noteworthy for two things: (1) The Russian side had the power to exterminate the German side, and (2) there was absolutely no negotiation or diplomacy. Valeriano and Maness would do well to review the conversation between Krebs and Chuikov. In a future war the victorious side will dictate the peace to the defeated side in the exact manner described above. This stems from the nature of modern weapons. Such weapons are made to produce decisive results. They are made to engender capitulation and stop all arguments, all negotiations, all half-measures. Atomic bombs were used on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The result was the surrender of Japan. Diplomatic power is weak when compared to atomic power. In fact, the illusions of diplomatic power must work against those states that favor negotiation over and above measures strictly undertaken to assure military success.”
― J.R.Nyquist

“History is philosophy teaching by examples.”
― John Vincent Palatine, The Little Drummer Boy

“An attentive observer of the drama that repeated itself every night might have spotted among the poor the gaunt figure of a pale, earnest young man, who, despite the easy sociability of Vienna's outcasts, wore his embitterment as if it were a precious decoration.”
― John Vincent Palatine, The Little Drummer Boy

“The categories of socialism and capitalism themselves began to be outdated, because strength was more powerful than wealth, because nationality was more powerful than class, because nationalism was more powerful than internationalism.”
― John Vincent Palatine

“Thus we can say with some confidence that the breakthrough of the NSDAP in 1930 was less a result of the movement's inherent qualities, which until then seemed to have been a tough sell, but an expression of protest against the minority governments of late Weimar, which ruled, without the endorsement of parliamentary majorities, by presidential emergency decrees and responded to the economic crisis with ill-advised austerity measures that did little to alleviate economic progress but were guaranteed to raise ill will.”
― John Vincent Palatine, The Little Drummer Boy

“Many contemporary witnesses have pointed out Hitler's perhaps greatest talent - that of an actor - but his changeability has usually been depicted as a result of weakness instead of being understood as his main feature, the key to his character.”
― John Vincent Palatine, The Little Drummer Boy

“There has been - and remains - a discussion whether or not the war formed Hitler most, but there can be no doubt that without it, and the decorations he received in it and which gave him - the Austrian - as Joachim Fest remarked, a claim to front-line credibility, respect and authority in Bavaria, his political career, at least in Germany - a country whose citizenship he would not acquire until 1932 - was simply inconceivable. In this sense only the war made Hitler possible.”
― John Vincent Palatine, The Little Drummer Boy

“One fact, however, we may identify at once: in the grand theatre of European history, Adolf Hitler was, in a way, the last true protagonist, the last momentous ruler of the fair continent; for with him the power of European empires over the globe came to an end - the "Proud Tower" collapsed. Hitler took the last curtain call: after 1945, a new world order emerged, divided between Asia and America.”
― John Vincent Palatine, The Little Drummer Boy

“Once it comprises the report of war, the composition of history has the well-known tendency to reflect the interpretations of the winner.”
― John Vincent Palatine, The Little Drummer Boy

“Fascism in general was nationalist and authoritative; it evoked the supremacy of the State and those who serve it. National Socialism echoed these principles but saw the world, and history, ultimately as a fight between races.”
― John Vincent Palatine, The Little Drummer Boy

“When Hitler spoke, many people felt as if the daily shortages they experienced were not nuisances or danger but the proper fasting before the day of rapture.”
― John Vincent Palatine, The Little Drummer Boy

“It may be observed that Hitler always compared the crowd to a woman that needs, in his opinion, to be conquered, and in due time he became an expert in this form of seduction: a phantasmagorial Casanova for the previously abstemious - as far as politics were concerned - German Hausfrau.”
― John Vincent Palatine, The Little Drummer Boy

“Who was right?" Hitler asked at a rally in 1937. "The visionary or the others? - I was right.”
― John Vincent Palatine, The Little Drummer Boy

“President Trump appears to be repeating the mistakes of Adolf Hitler.”
― Steven Magee

“Mistreatment of the poor, sick and elderly is a feature Adolf Hitler and President Trump share.”
― Steven Magee

“Gewissenlose Personen sind genauso tödlich wie fahrende Autos ohne Bremsen, und müssen aufgrund der Gewissenlosigkeit aus dem Verkehr gezogen werden.”
― Andrej Poleev, Recht auf Widerstand

“Бессовестные люди также убийственны как автомобили без тормозов.”
― Andrej Poleev, Fragments

“The whole thing was a charade--the pomp, the ceremony, the goose-stepping. the salute--but the incredible cost was very real.”
― Ravi Zacharias, The Lamb and the Fuhrer : Jesus Talks With Hitler

“Hitler wouldn't answer to anybody, not even God. He didn't dialogue. His was a monologue. Dialogue involves reason; it requires a willingness to admit there's another opinion. To him, there was no other viewpoint but his.”
― Ravi Zacharias, The Lamb and the Fuhrer : Jesus Talks With Hitler

“[Hitler wasn't] the first one to claim that God was on [his] side. But claiming it and keeping with His character are two different things. Jesus walked with the weak of this world--the sick, the lame, the blind. [Hitler] called them weaklings, the refuse of society, and said they had to be done away with. [God] talked of humility; [Hitler] talked of pride. [God] talked of submission; [Hitler] talked of conquering. [God] talked of love; [Hitler] talked of hate. [God] even allowed those who opposed Him to speak; [Hitler] silenced even those who just wanted to ask questions. [God] allowed those who despised Him the freedom to make their choice. For [Hitler], the only freedom possible was to implement [his] plan for world domination.”
― Ravi Zacharias, The Lamb and the Fuhrer : Jesus Talks With Hitler

“Hitler was a very persistent man and never gave up on anything except for games of tiddlywinks! If the Allies had known this, they could have scrapped the land, air and sea wars, turned World War II into the Tiddlywink Olympics, and ended the whole thing in six minutes instead of six years.”
― Stewart Stafford

“I’m coming round to the belief that colonialism hasn’t been a harsh enough school for them, that it hasn’t taught them enough about things — that French colonialism has, in spite of everything, treated nature with a certain respect. They’ve still got a lot to learn, and French people don’t give that kind of lesson. The men of their own race will take care of that. One day they’ll have their Stalins, their Hitlers, and their Napoleons, their Fuhrers and their Duces, and then their very blood will cry out to demand respect for nature. That day they will understand.”
― Romain Gary, The Roots of Heaven
