I did not care for Wagner. My tastes are more classical. Der Fuhrer had no musical taste and liked Wagner because of the bombastic Teutonic glories.

It was my dream, and probably the dream of every one of us, to bring about a revision of the Versailles Treaty by peaceful means, which was provided for in that very treaty.

On 24 August 1939, as an officer in the reserve, I had to join my regiment in Potsdam.

I ask nothing of the Jews except that they should disappear.

In 1930 I became a member of the Reichstag.

A thousand years will pass and the guilt of Germany will not be erased

Concentration camps were entirely a matter for the police and had nothing to do with the administration.

Reject evil. Choose the good.

It was very much like Norman Rockwell: small town America. We walked to school or rode our bikes, stopped at the penny candy store on the way home from school, skated on the pond.

There is no such thing as a commodity. It is simply a product waiting to be differentiated.

I want to get all the nations of the world together, it doesn't matter what colour or creed, and I want to sit them down and say: "Guys, The Office is still available on DVD."
