“É um predestinado, um homem tocado pelo destino que irá salvar a Alemanha e conduzi-la à vitória da luz sobre a treva. Repare só na maneira como Herr Hitler fala. Dá a sensação de estar em transe, de que é um medium e o espírito da Alemanha se revela pela sua voz. O Führer é a boca dos deuses, um instrumento da vontade divina, um clarividente guiado por uma força natural, um homem transcendente. Domina o poder mágico da palavra falada, é um magus a executar um encantamento, um arauto da salvação. Não é um político, é um profeta. Um profeta! O sumo sacerdote da nação! Ninguém exprime a alma da Alemanha como ele. É a voz que vem da noite dos tempos, a voz que nos traz Wotanm que nos traz Thor! Os seus discursos são feitiçaria em massa, um poema gótico transformado em ato político.”

― Pat Barker, The Silence of the Girls
