Timeless Quote on War by Hermann Goering

[Excalibur]

Nuremberg, 1946

"Why of course the people don't want war. Why should some poor slob on a farm want to risk his life in a war when the best he can get out of it is to come back to his farm in one piece? Naturally the common people don't want war neither in Russia, nor in England, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, it is the leaders of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship.

Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country."

That's a good quote

He told the truth. "Der Sieger wird immer der Richter und der Besiegte stets der Angeklagte sein" The winner will always be the judge and the vanquished will always be the defendant.

At Nuremberg, the USSR dumped the blame for Katyn on the Germans, although both the British and the Americans knew that it was the USSR who killed the Polish officers. This very fact will ruin everything in Nürnberg.

They IQ tested all the defendants at Nuremberg I think Goering had second highest

Even Julius Streicher's lowest score, as among the defendants, was about 107IQ, which is above the average.
