Quotes

  • In my case, though I had an idea of what was going on - I purposely didn't see it.
  • For instance, against the tremendous resistance of Hitler and Kaltenbrunner, and at first Himmler too, I managed to save nine thousand Norwegians and Danes, whom I had released from concentration camps.
  • Many of my personal enemies picture me as a cold type - a person who acts according to a certain line, a calculating type.
  • In my opinion, a war between England and Germany was a war between brothers. In my inner self I admired the English government and political system.
  • I could not tell Himmler everything because he was too false and two-faced.
