Referring to Winston Churchill...

'He knows no details, has only got half the picture in his mind, talks absurdities and makes my blood boil to listen to his nonsense...And the wonderful thing is that ¾ of the population of the world imagine Winston Churchill is one of the great Strategists of History, a second Marlborough, and the other ¼ have no conception what a public menace he is.'

Field Marshal Lord Alanbrooke

Anyone who has to fight, even with the most modern weapons, against an enemy in complete command of the air, fights like a savage against modern European troops, under the same handicaps and with the same chances of success.

Of course, if the Allies had qualified their unconditional surrender clause by stating "unconditional surrender as long as Hitler and the Nazi regime are in power," it would have been a tremendous help. We would have had a convincing argument with which to recruit more people. It would have allowed us to say: "Look, if Hitler stays, we'll certainly be invaded and plundered. But if we get rid of him now, we can obtain honorable peace terms."

Lt. Ewald Heinrich von Kleist (b.1922) in his interview in 1998

The fight against Jewish world Bolshevization requires a clear attitude toward Soviet Russia. You cannot drive out the Devil with Beelzebub.

We must, therefore, coolly and objectively adopt the standpoint that it can certainly not be the intention of Heaven to give one people fifty times as much land and soil in this world as another.

If we were to promise people nothing better than only revolution, they would scratch their heads and say: "Is it not better to have good goulash?"

Hermann Goering's comment in a radio broadcast of 1936:

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

I guess Hermann knew what he was talking about...

"When dealing with a force as corrupt and evil as Hitler's Germany that there was no middle ground -- to be "neutral" in that type of conflict was to in fact support the side of Hitler's Reich."
- Albert Camus, one of the leading writers of the French Resistance and editor of Combat, then an important underground newspaper
