“Schweinebande,”
Timothy W. Ryback, Takeover: Hitler's Final Rise to Power

“When Hitler wrote of his disdain for democracy in Mein Kampf, he reserved particular ire for parliaments—“an assembly of idiots”—which he saw as the linchpin for destroying the system,”
Timothy W. Ryback, Takeover: Hitler's Final Rise to Power

“If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it,” Goebbels allegedly said; this was in fact the distillation of a cynical truth Hitler had commented on in a chapter on reasons for Germany’s surrender at the end of the First World War in the first volume of Mein Kampf. But big lies require big audiences. The Hitler correctives to the Hindenburg meeting were extensive, pointed, and useless.”
Timothy W. Ryback, Takeover: Hitler's Final Rise to Power
