Himmler on the Jewish question in the early 1940s.<br />
The painful decision had to be taken, to remove this people from the face of the earth.<br />
For the organisation that had to perform it, this was the hardest task we have ever<br />
faced. It has been performed, I believe I may say, without our men and leaders<br />
suffering any harm of mind or spirit … That is all I wish to say about the Jewish<br />
question. You know how things stand, and you will keep the knowledge to yourselves.<br />

Hitler to Speer in March 1945.<br />
If the war is to be lost, the nation will also perish. This fate is inevitable. There is no<br />
need to consider the basis of even a most primitive existence any longer. On the<br />
contrary it is better to destroy even that, and to destroy it ourselves. The nation has<br />
proved itself weak, and the future belongs solely to the stronger Eastern nation.<br />
Besides, those who remain after the battle are of little value; for the good have fallen.<br />
