"You made this monster, and as long as things were going well you gave him whatever he wanted. You turned Germany over to this arch-criminal, you swore allegiance to him by every incredible oath he chose to put before you. And so you made yourselves into the warrior slaves of a man who carries on his head responsibility for a hundred thousand murders, and who is the cause of the sorrow and the object of the curses of the whole of the world."
Friedrich Reck-Malleczewen, 1947
