"I want peace - and I will do all I can to make it. It's not too late yet. I will go to the limits of what is possible, as far as the victims and dignity of the German nation allow. I know better than war! Alone when I think of the loss of German blood - the best, the bravest and most willing to make sacrifices, whose task it would be to embody the nation, always fall. I don't need to make a name for myself through war like Churchill. I want to make a name for myself as a folder of the German people, to secure their unity and their living space, to enforce national socialism, to shape the environment". Adolf Hitler - after the end of the France campaign in a conversation with his architect Prof. Hermann Giesler (Giesler: "Ein anderer Hitler", page 395)
"…The point here is that Hitler, unlike Churchill, Roosevelt and Stalin, did not want a general outbreak of war in 1939…" Harry Elmer Barnes in "Blasting of the historical Blackout", Oxnard, California, 1962
"…We turned Hitler into a monster, a devil. That's why we couldn't move away from it after the war. We had mobilized the masses against the devil personally. So after the war we were forced to play along in this devil's scenario. We could not possibly have made it clear to our people that the war was actually only an economic preventive measure…" James Baker - US Secretary of State 1989 - 1992 (DER SPIEGEL 13 / 1992)>>2990925
