Ian Kershaw Quotes

• Without the changed conditions, the product of a lost war, a revolution and a pervasive sense of national humiliation, Hitler would have remained a nobody. His main ability by far, as he came to realise during the course of 1919, was that in the prevailing circumstances he could inspire an audience which shared his basic political feelings, by the way he spoke, by the force of his rhetoric, by the very power of his prejudice, by the conviction he conveyed that there was a way out of Germany's plight.

• En la campaña electoral de 1930, Hitler rara vez habló explícitamente de los judíos. Las crudas diatribas de principios de los años veinte desaparecieron por completo. El "espacio vital" ocupaba un lugar más destacado, planteado frente a la competencia internacional alternativa por los mercados ... El tema clave ahora era el colapso de Alemania bajo la democracia parlamentaria y el gobierno de partido en un pueblo dividido con intereses separados y en conflicto, que sólo el NSDAP podía superar creando una nueva unidad de la nación, más allá de clases, estamentos y profesiones.

• Within the Nazi Party, the beginnings of a personality cult around Hitler go back to the year before the [Munich] putsch... Outside these small groups of fanatical Bavarian Nazis, Hitler's image and reputation at this time - so far as the wider German public took any notice of him at all - was little more than that of a vulgar demagogue, capable of drumming up passionate opposition to the government among the Munich mob, but of little else.

• You have delivered up our holy German Fatherland to one of the greatest demagogues of all time. I solemnly prophesy that this accursed man will cast our Reich into the abyss and bring our nation to inconceivable misery. Future generations will damn you in your grave for what you have done.
