“Hermann Goering, Joachim von Ribbentrop, Albert Speer, Walther Frank, Julius Streicher and Robert Ley did pass under my inspection and interrogation in 1945 but they only proved that National Socialism was a gangster interlude at a rather low order of mental capacity and with a surprisingly high incidence of alcoholism.”

“You will find the most pronounced hatred of other nations on the lowest cultural levels.

—Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (1749–1832)
