A couple of quotes found and posted by WWII veterans...
Statesmen will invent cheap lies, putting blame upon the nation that is
attacked, and every man will be glad of those conscience-soothing
falsities, and will diligently study them, and refuse to examine any
refutations of them; and thus, he will, by and by, convince himself that
the war is just, and will thank God for the better sleep he enjoys after
this process of grotesque self-deception. - - - Mark Twain
Oh, that is all well and good, but, 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
pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It
works the same way in any country. - - Hermann Goering
This is from his post-war interrogation by Allied military.. |
