quotes
"If today I stand here as a revolutionary, it is as a revolutionary against the Revolution.”- Adolf Hitler
“I joined the party because I was a revolutionary, not because of any ideological nonsense.”
Hermann Goering
In many ways Nazism was antithetical to what the great mass of Germans said they admired – and certainly to what they paid homage. It was noisy, undisciplined, vainglorious; its leader was a half-educated posturing foreigner. For a decade the National Socialists were regarded as hoodlums, as part of the breakdown of what had been, if anything, an excessively ordered society before.” Eugene Davidson, historian
