Quotes by Robert Gerwarth (?)

“The genuinely modern idea of creating ethnically homogeneous nation-states through the suppression, expulsion and often murder of ‘suspect’ minorities was by no means a Nazi invention.”
― Robert Gerwarth, Hitler's Hangman: The Life of Heydrich

“Mussolini had learnt more from Lenin and the Bolsheviks than he would have cared to admit, notably the lesson that parliamentary majorities were far less important than the ability and determination to instil fear in opponents and to act ruthlessly when an opportunity presented itself.”
― Robert Gerwarth, The Vanquished: Why the First World War Failed to End

“the most significant contributing factor to Heydrich's radicalization was his immersion in a political milieu of young and often highly educated men who thrived on violent notions of cleansing Germany from its supposed internal enemies while simultaneously rejecting bourgeois norms of morality as weak, outdated and inappropriate for securing Germany's national rebirth.”
― Robert Gerwarth, Hitler's Hangman: The Life of Heydrich
