Quote from Hermann Göring

I've been watching a series on Netflix abut the war crimes trials at Nuremberg, and, in the episode about him, Hermann Göring was quoted as saying: "I don't have a conscience. My conscience is the Führer."

Gee, it almost sounds like something [fill in the name of the Repug] would have said.

You should be able to edit the thread title. Try copy and pasting this:

  Quote from Hermann Göring

That html entity should display as the o-umlaut. But if you preview your post, it will turn the html entity into the character and then be lost again when you post - just hit the back button on your browser to return to the pre-previewed post, or paste the text into the title field again after previewing.

They knew exactly what they were doing:

“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 a country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy or fascist dictorship, 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 peace makers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country.”
