“Hitler was “someone seduced by himself,” someone who was so inseparable from his words “that a measure of authenticity flowed over the audience even when he was telling obvious lies.”
Volker Ullrich, Hitler: Ascent: 1889-1939

“If there is one thing we admire about National Socialism it’s the fact that it has succeeded, for the first time in German politics, in the complete mobilisation of human stupidity.”30”
Volker Ullrich, Hitler: Ascent: 1889-1939

“Who cares whether they laugh at us or insult us, treating us as fools or criminals?” Hitler wrote in Mein Kampf. “The point is that they talk about us and constantly think about us.”
Volker Ullrich, Hitler: Ascent: 1889-1939
