Герман Геринг цитаты

„Конечно, народ не хочет воевать. Но, в конце концов, политику определяют те, кто у власти, а народ легко пойдет, куда погонят, хоть при демократии, хоть при фашистской диктатуре, хоть при парламентаризме, хоть при коммунистах. Голосуют они или нет, людей всегда можно склонить к тому, чего хотят правители. Это просто. Нужно только сказать, что враг готовится напасть, и заткнуть рот пацифистам, объявив, что они не любят родину и бросают её в беде.“

„Любым народом очень легко управлять — надо сообщить, что на него собираются напасть, показать ему врага, а всех пацифистов объявить непатриотами.“

„Я не буду соблюдать справедливость и так называемую законность, моё дело — уничтожать и искоренять и более ничего!“

„Если кто-либо из вас обнаружит убитого коммуниста на улице, отвечайте всем, что убил его я!“

„У меня нет совести! Мою совесть зовут Адольф Гитлер!“

„Guns will make us powerful; butter will only make us fat.“

„To me there are two Hitlers: one who existed until the end of the French war; the other begins with the Russian campaign. In the beginning he was genial and pleasant. He would have extraordinary willpower and unheard-of influence on people. The important thing to remember is that the first Hitler, the man who I knew until the end of the French war, had much charm and goodwill. He was always frank. The second Hitler, who existed from the beginning of the Russian campaign until his suicide, was always suspicious, easily upset, and tense. He was distrustful to an extreme degree.“

Radio broadcast (1936), as quoted in The New Language of Politics: An Anecdotal Dictionary of Catchwords, Slogans, and Political Usage (1968) by William L. Safire, p. 178
Variants:
Guns will make us strong, butter will only make us fat.
We have no butter... but I ask you, would you rather have butter or guns? Preparedness makes us powerful. Butter merely makes us fat.

„After the United States gobbled up California and half of Mexico, and we were stripped down to nothing, territorial expansion suddenly becomes a crime. It's been going on for centuries, and it will still go on.“

„Hitler decided that. I thought it was stupid because I believed that first we had to defeat England.“

To Leon Goldensohn, about attacking the Soviets (15 March 1946)
The Nuremberg Interviews (2004)

„The Russians are primitive folk. Besides, Bolshevism is something that stifles individualism and which is against my inner nature. Bolshevism is worse than National Socialism — in fact, it can't be compared to it. Bolshevism is against private property, and I am all in favor of private property. Bolshevism is barbaric and crude, and I am fully convinced that that atrocities committed by the Nazis, which incidentally I knew nothing about, were not nearly as great or as cruel as those committed by the Communists. I hate the Communists bitterly because I hate the system. The delusion that all men are equal is ridiculous. I feel that I am superior to most Russians, not only because I am a German but because my cultural and family background are superior. How ironic it is that crude Russian peasants who wear the uniforms of generals now sit in judgment on me. No matter how educated a Russian might be, he is still a barbaric Asiatic. Secondly, the Russian generals and the Russian government planned a war against Germany because we represented a threat to them ideologically. In the German state, I was the chief opponent of Communism. I admit freely and proudly that it was I who created the first concentration camps in order to put Communists in them. Did I ever tell you that funny story about how I sent to Spain a ship containing mainly bricks and stones, under which I put a single layer of ammunition which had been ordered by the Red government in Spain? The purpose of that ship was to supply the waning Red government with munitions. That was a good practical joke and I am proud of it because I wanted with all my heart to see Russian Communism in Spain defeated finally.“
