Notable quotes

“I still lack to a considerable degree that naturally superior kind of manner that I would dearly like to possess.”
— Diary entry (November 1921), quoted in The Hidden Files (1992) by Derek Raymond
“I know there are some people in Germany who become sick when they see these black uniforms, we understand the reason for this, and do not expect we shall be loved by all that number of people; those who come to fear us in any way or at any time must have a bad conscience towards the Fuhrer and the nation. For these persons we have established an organisation called the Security Service.”
— From his treatise "The Security Squadron as an Anti-Bolshevik Battle Organisation", (1936)
“...the curse of the great to have to walk over corpses.”
— Also translated as: It is the curse of the great man to step over corpses. From the Memoirs of Felix Kersten sometime after the execution of 200 Jews near Minsk in August 1941, as quoted in The Face Of The 3rd Reich, Part 2, Chapter 9. Petty Bourgeois and Grand Inquisitor, by Joachim C. Fest (1999)
“[We have] the moral duty toward our race to kill this [Jewish] race that wanted to kill us.”
— The Posen speech to SS generals (4 October 1943)
“The best political weapon is the weapon of terror. Cruelty commands respect. Men may hate us. But, we don't ask for their love; only for their fear.”
— Quoted in Alberto Rivas Visions of Reality - A Study of Abnormal Perception and Behavior (2007), p. 162
“[T]he curse of the great to have to walk over corpses.”
— As cited in Joachim Fest The Face Of The Third Reich (1999), Part 2
