The quotations of

Hermann Göring

German Nazi politician, military leader, and convicted war criminal

1893–1946

4 quotes, most often on War & Peace and Justice.

Of course the people dont want war…that is understood. But voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country.
In an interview with Gilbert in Göring’s jail cell during the Nuremberg War Crimes Trials (18 April 1946)
