„Was für ein Glück für die Regierenden, daß die Menschen nicht denken!“

„Im allgemeinen soll aber nie vergessen werden, daß nicht die Erhaltung eines Staates oder gar die einer Regierung höchster Zweck des Daseins der Menschen ist, sondern die Bewahrung ihrer Art.“

„Was für ein Glück für die Regierenden, daß die Menschen nicht denken! Denken gibt es nur in der Erteilung oder im Vollzug eines Befehls, wäre es anders, so könnte die menschliche Gesellschaft nicht bestehen.“

Mein Kampf

„Jede Propaganda hat volkstümlich zu sein und ihr geistiges Niveau einzustellen auf die Aufnahmefähigkeit des Beschränktesten unter denen, an die sie sich zu richten gedenkt. Damit wird ihre rein geistige Höhe um so tiefer zu stellen sein, je größer die zu erfassende Masse der Menschen sein soll. Handelt es sich aber, wie bei der Propaganda für die Durchhaltung eines Krieges, darum, ein ganzes Volk in ihren Wirkungskreis zu ziehen, so kann die Vorsicht bei der Vermeidung zu hoher geistiger Voraussetzungen gar nicht groß genug sein.“

„Wenn wir Sozialisten sind, dann müssen wir unbedingt Antisemiten sein.“

Mein Kampf

„Es wird stets nur ein Teil eines Volkes aus wirklich aktiven Kämpfern bestehen, und von ihnen wird mehr gefordert, als von den Millionen der übrigen Volksgenossen. Für sie genügt nicht die blosse Ablegung des Bekenntnisses: «Ich glaube»; sondern der Schwur: «Ich kämpfe!»“

Variante: Wenn wir Sozialisten sind, dann müssen wir unbedingt Antisemiten sein, dann ist das konträre Gegenteil der Materialismus und Mammonismus, den wir bekämpfen wollen.

„Wenn Menschenherzen brechen und Menschenseelen verzweifeln, dann blicken aus dem Dämmerlicht der Vergangenheit die großen Überwinder von Not und Sorge, von Schmach und Elend, von geistiger Unfreiheit und körperlichem Zwange auf sie hernieder und reichen den verzagenden Sterblichen ihre ewigen Hände!
Wehe dem Volke, das sich schämt, sie zu erfassen!“

„Die Aufnahmefähigkeit der großen Masse ist nur sehr beschränkt, das Verständnis klein, dafür jedoch die Vergesslichkeit groß. Aus diesen Tatsachen heraus hat sich jede wirkungsvolle Propaganda auf nur sehr wenige Punkte zu beschränken und diese schlagwortartig so lange zu verwenden, bis auch bestimmt der Letzte unter einem solchen Worte das Gewollte sich vorzustellen vermag. Sowie man diesen Grundsatz opfert und vielseitig werden will, wird man die Wirkung zum Zerflattern bringen, da die Menge den gebotenen Stoff weder zu verdauen noch zu behalten vermag.“

„Wenn in diesen kommenden Tagen und Wochen jeder Soldat an der Ostfront seine Pflicht tut, wird der letzte Ansturm Asiens zerbrechen, genauso, wie am Ende auch der Einbruch unserer Gegner im Westen trotz allem scheitern wird. […] In dem Augenblick, in dem das Schicksal den größten Kriegsverbrecher aller Zeiten Franklin D. Roosevelt von dieser Erde weggenommen hat, wird sich die Wende des Krieges entscheiden.“

„Ein einziger Erfolg muss den Kolonialherren zugestanden werden: Überall ist es ihnen gelungen, Hass zu erregen, einen Hass, der diese Völker, die von uns aus ihren Schlaf erweckt wurden, dazu drängt, sich zu erheben und uns zu vertreiben. Tatsächlich sieht es fast so aus, als wären sie nur zu diesem Zweck aufgewacht!“

„Diese deutsche Volksgemeinschaft ist wirklich praktischer Sozialismus und damit Nationalsozialismus im besten Sinne des Wortes. Hier ist jeder verpflichtet, seine Ladung zu tragen.“

„Sie haben alles das, was mir fehlt. Sie erarbeiten das geistige Rüstzeug zu einer Erneuerung Deutschlands. Ich bin nichts als ein Trommler und ein Sammler. Lassen Sie uns zusammen arbeiten!“

„Während die Zionisten versuchen, den Rest der Welt glauben zu machen, dass das Nationalbewusstsein des Juden seine Befriedigung in der Schaffung eines palästinensischen Staates findet, betrügen die Juden die dummen Gojim erneut schlau. Es kommt ihnen nicht einmal in den Sinn, einen jüdischen Staat in Palästina aufzubauen, um dort zu leben. Alles, was sie wollen, ist eine zentrale Organisation für ihren internationalen Weltbetrüger, die mit ihren eigenen Hoheitsrechten ausgestattet und von der Intervention anderer Staaten ausgeschlossen ist: ein Zufluchtsort für verurteilte Schurken und eine Universität für angehende Gauner.
Es ist ein Zeichen ihres wachsenden Vertrauens und Sicherheitsgefühls, dass zu einer Zeit, in der eine Sektion noch den Deutschen, Franzosen oder Engländer spielt, die andere mit offener Unverschämtheit als jüdische Rasse hervortritt.“

“We are going to destroy the Jews. They are not going to get away with what they did on 9 November 1918. The day of reckoning has come.”

Adolf Hitler: Zitate auf Englisch

“The development of relations between State and Church affords a very instructive example of how the carelessness of a single statesman can have after-effects which last for centuries. When Charlemagne was kneeling at prayer in St. Peter's, Rome, at Christmas in the year 800, the Pope, giving him no time to work out the possible effects of so symbolic an action, suddenly bent down and presto! popped a golden crown on his head! By permitting it, the Emperor delivered himself and his successors into the hands of a power which subjected the German Government and the German people to five hundred years of martyrdom.”

To the Czechoslovakian foreign minister (January 21, 1939) quoted in Sarah Ann Gordon, Hitler, Germans, and the "Jewish Question" pg. 130 https://books.google.com/books?id=K2pVlpLqmPAC&pg=PA130&lpg=PA130&dq=We+are+going+to+destroy+the+Jews.+They+are+not+going+to+get+away+with+what+they+did+on+9+November+1918.&source=bl&ots=z9H6ZVZY0C&sig=iG-hsqk8dUMTrdadIxa3m5cOYsY&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjBpar5nZbXAhVH7CYKHVq_DOwQ6AEIJzAA#v=onepage&q=We%20are%20going%20to%20destroy%20the%20Jews.%20They%20are%20not%20going%20to%20get%20away%20with%20what%20they%20did%20on%209%20November%201918.&f=false 1930s

“The streets of our country are in turmoil. The universities are filled with students rebelling and rioting. Communists are seeking to destroy our country. Russia is threatening us with her might and the Republic is in danger. Yes, danger from within and from without. We need law and order. Yes, without law and order our nation cannot survive. Elect us and we shall restore law and order.”

“I, on the other hand, have tried for two decades to build a new socialist order in Germany, with a minimum of interference and without harming our productive capacity.”

“Thus it must be admitted that in the economic sphere, from the start, in all branches men are not of equal value or of equal importance. And once this is admitted it is madness to say: in the economic sphere there are undoubtedly differences in value, but that is not true in the political sphere. It is absurd to build up economic life on the conceptions of achievement, of the value of personality, and therefore in practice the authority of personality, but in the political sphere to deny the authority of personality and to thrust into this place the law of the greater number — democracy.”

Hitler's “Barbarossa” Proclamation, (June 22, 1941) http://research.calvin.edu/german-propaganda-archive/hitler4.htm 1940s

“I have learned a great deal from Marxism as I do not hesitate to admit… The difference between them and myself is that I have really put into practice what these peddlers and pen pushers have timidly begun. The whole of National Socialism is based on it… National Socialism is what Marxism might have been if it could have broken its absurd and artificial ties with a democratic order.”

“If the National Socialist Movement should fail to understand the fundamental importance of this essential principle [race], if it should merely varnish the external appearance of the present State and adopt the majority principle, it would really do nothing more than compete with Marxism on its own ground.”

“Not long ago, an American magazine wrote that what was worst about National Socialism was its women. They said that National Socialism did more for women than any other nation. It improved their social position. It began to bring them together in tremendous organizations. It sent the women of the educated classes into the factories so that female workers could go on vacation, and so on. The paper concluded that the democracies could not imitate this.”

“This German Volksgemeinschaft is truly practical socialism and therefore National Socialism in the best sense of the word. Here everyone is obligated to carry his load.”

Other remarks

“National-Socialism came to power in Germany in the same year as Roosevelt was elected President... Roosevelt comes from a rich family and belongs to the class whose path is smoothed in the Democracies. I am only the child of a small, poor family and had to fight my way by work and industry. When the Great War came, Roosevelt occupied a position where he got to know only its pleasant consequences, enjoyed by those who do business while others bleed... I shared the fate of millions, and Franklin Roosevelt only the fate of the so-called Upper Ten Thousand... he made profits out of the inflation, out of the misery of others, while I, together with many hundreds of thousands more, lay in hospital.”

“We are obligated to depopulate as part of our mission of preserving the German population. We shall have to develop a technique of depopulation. If you ask me what I mean by depopulation, I mean the removal of entire racial units. And that is what I intend to carry out… Nature is cruel, therefore we, too, may be cruel…. I have the right to remove millions of an inferior race that breeds like vermin!”

“In those countries, it is actually capital that rules; that is, nothing more than a clique of a few hundred men who possess untold wealth and, as a consequence of the peculiar structure of their national life, are more or less independent and free. They say: 'Here we have liberty.' By this they mean, above all, an uncontrolled economy, and by an uncontrolled economy, the freedom not only to acquire capital but to make absolutely free use of it. That means freedom from national control or control by the people both in the acquisition of capital and in its employment. This is really what they mean when they speak of liberty. These capitalists create their own press and then speak of the 'freedom of the press.' In reality, every one of the newspapers has a master, and in every case this master is the capitalist, the owner. This master, not the editor, is the one who directs the policy of the paper. If the editor tries to write other than what suits the master, he is ousted the next day. This press, which is the absolutely submissive and characterless slave of the owners, molds public opinion.
..
Yes, certainly, we jeopardize the liberty to profiteer at the expense of the community, and, if necessary, we even abolish it.
..
All my life I have been a 'have-not.' At home I was a 'have-not.”

“Over the last forty years the German bourgeoisie has been a lamentable failure; it has not given the German people a single leader; it will have to bow without gainsaying to the totality of my ideology… The bourgeoisie rules by intrigue, but it can have no foothold in my movement because we accept no Jews or Jewish accomplices into our Party.”

I regard myself as belonging to them and have always fought exclusively for them. I defended them and, therefore, I stand before the world as their representative.

“The war against Russia will be such that it cannot be conducted in a knightly fashion. This struggle is one of ideologies and racial differences and will have to be conducted with unprecedented, unmerciful, and unrelenting harshness. All officers will have to rid themselves of obsolete ideologies. I know that the necessity for such means of waging war is beyond the comprehension of you generals but... I insist absolutely that my orders be executed without contradiction.”

“Stalin is one of the most extraordinary figures in world history. He began as a small clerk, and he has never stopped being a clerk. Stalin owes nothing to rhetoric. He governs from his office, thanks to a bureaucracy that obeys his every nod and gesture. It's striking that Russian propaganda, in the criticisms it makes of us, always holds itself within certain limits. Stalin, that cunning Caucasian, is apparently quite ready to abandon European Russia, if he thinks that a failure to solve her problems would cause him to lose everything. Let nobody think Stalin might reconquer Europe from the Urals! It is as if I were installed in Slovakia, and could set out from there to reconquer the Reich. This is the catastrophe that will cause the loss of the Soviet Empire.”

“We shall banish want; we shall banish fear. The essence of National Socialism is human welfare…. National Socialism is the revolution of the common man. Rooted in a fuller life for every German from childhood to old age, National Socialism means a new day of abundance at home and a better world order abroad.”

1930s, From the film Triumph of the Will (1935)

“I am quite sure that very few of the so-called Reds in Spain were really Communists. We were badly deceived, for, had I known the real state of affairs, I would never have allowed our aircraft to bombard and destroy a starving population and at the same time re-establish the Spanish clergy in all their horrible privileges.”

“The peoples of Islam will always be closer to us than, for example, France.”

1930s, From the film Triumph of the Will (1935)

“To put it quite clearly: we have an economic programme. Point No. 13 in that programme demands the nationalisation of all public companies, in other words socialisation, or what is known here as socialism. … the basic principle of my Party’s economic programme should be made perfectly clear and that is the principle of authority… the good of the community takes priority over that of the individual. But the State should retain control; every owner should feel himself to be an agent of the State; it is his duty not to misuse his possessions to the detriment of the State or the interests of his fellow countrymen. That is the overriding point. The Third Reich will always retain the right to control property owners. If you say that the bourgeoisie is tearing its hair over the question of private property, that does not affect me in the least. Does the bourgeoisie expect some consideration from me?… Today’s bourgeoisie is rotten to the core; it has no ideals any more; all it wants to do is earn money and so it does me what damage it can. The bourgeois press does me damage too and would like to consign me and my movement to the devil.”

“Never, at any price, should we have put our money on France and against the peoples subjected to her yoke. On the contrary, we should have helped them to achieve their liberty and, if necessary, should have goaded them into doing so. There was nothing to stop us in 1940 from making a gesture of this sort in the Near East and in North Africa. In actual fact our diplomats instead set about the task of consolidating French power, not only in Syria, but in Tunis, in Algeria and Morocco as well. Our 'gentlemen' obviously preferred to maintain cordial relations with distinguished Frenchmen, rather than with a lot of hirsute revolutionaries, with a chorus of musical comedy officers, whose one idea was to cheat us, rather than with the Arabs, who would have been loyal partners for us.”

Interview with George Sylvester Viereck, 1923 https://www.theguardian.com/theguardian/2007/sep/17/greatinterviews1 1920s

“I did not want this struggle. Since January, 1933, when Providence entrusted me with the leadership of the German Reich, I had an aim before my eyes which was essentially incorporated in the program of our National Socialist party. I have never been disloyal to this aim and have never abandoned my program… Only when the entire German people become a single community of sacrifice can we expect and hope that Almighty God will help us. The Almighty has never helped a lazy man. He does not help the coward. He does not help a people that cannot help itself. The principle applies here, help yourselves and Almighty God will not deny you his assistance.”

“I will tolerate no opposition. We recognize only subordination – authority downwards and responsibility upwards. You just tell the German bourgeoisie that I shall be finished with them far quicker than I shall with marxism… When once the conservative forces in Germany realize that only I and my party can win the German proletariat over to the State and that no parliamentary games can be played with marxist parties, then Germany will be saved for all time, then we can found a German Peoples State.”
