Hermann Göring Citations

“Bien entendu, le peuple ne veut pas de guerre. Pourquoi est-ce qu'un pauvre gueux dans une ferme voudrait risquer sa vie dans une guerre dont il ne peut espérer au mieux qu'il en reviendra entier? Naturellement, le commun de la population ne veut pas de guerre; ni en Russie, ni en Angleterre, ni en Amérique, ni, en ce qui nous concerne, en Allemagne. C'est bien entendu. Mais, après tout, ce sont les dirigeants d'un pays qui en déterminent les lignes d'action, et ce n'est jamais qu'une question simple que d'entraîner le peuple, que ce soit dans une démocratie, une dictature fasciste, un Parlement, ou une dictature communiste. […] Le peuple peut toujours être converti à la cause des dirigeants. Cela est facile. Tout ce qu'il suffit de faire, c'est de leur dire qu'ils sont attaqués et dénoncer les pacifistes pour leur manque de patriotisme qui expose le pays au danger. Cela marche de la même manière dans tous les pays.”

Hermann Göring

Instruction to the Prussian police (1933); as quoted in The House that Hitler Built (1937) by Stephen Henry Roberts. p. 63

“The atrocities are, for me, the most horrible part of the accusation in this trial. They thought that I took it lightly or laughed about it or some such nonsense, in court. That is definitely a mistake. I am the type of person who is naturally against such things and my own psychological reaction is to laugh or smile in the face of adversity. Perhaps that explains my attitude in court. Besides, I was not to blame for these horrors. It's not just that I am a hard man because of my long experience in the army and in politics. It's true that I saw plenty in the First World War and during the air raids and at the front in this war. But I was always a person who felt the suffering of others. To paint me as an unfeeling ogre who laughs in court at the atrocities is stupid.”

To Leon Goldensohn (24 May 1946)
The Nuremberg Interviews (2004)

“I have always been interested in family history. Chromosomes are funny things, aren't they? They may skip a generation and you can find children who resemble the grandfather, rather than either parent. Heredity is more important than environment. Blood will tell. For example, a man is either musical by heredity or he is not. You can't make a man musical by the environment. You can find a person who is very musically inclined and be puzzled because neither parents nor grandparents had any ear for music. But if you trace it back, you will find that the great-grandfather was a musician. But the environment plays a great part in the development of a man. It is significant whether a man is brought up in the city or in the country, near a lake or on the shores of the ocean.”

To Leon Goldensohn (21 May 1946)
The Nuremberg Interviews (2004)

“Do you think I give that much of a damn about my lousy life? — For myself, I don't give a damn if I get executed, or drown, or crash in a plane, or drink myself to death! — But there is still a matter of honor in this life! — Assassination attempt on Hitler! — Ugh! — Gott im Himmel!! I could have sunk through the floor! And do you think I would have handed Himmler over to the enemy, guilty as he was? Dammit, I would have liquidated the bastard myself!”

Interview in Göring's cell (3 January 1946)
Nuremberg Diary (1947)

“I am a man who is basically opposed to atrocities or ungentlemanly actions. In 1934, I promulgated a law against vivisection. You can see, therefore, that if I disapprove of the experimentation on animals, how could I possibly be in favor of torturing humans? The prosecution says that I had something to do with the freezing experiments which were performed in the concentration camps under the auspices of the air force. That is pure nonsense! I was much too busy to know about these medical experiments, and if anybody had asked me, I would have disapproved violently. It must have been Himmler who thought up these stupid experiments, although I think he shirked his responsibility by committing suicide. I am not too unhappy about it because I would not particularly enjoy sitting on the same bench with him. The same is true of that drunken Robert Ley, who did us a favor by hanging himself before the trial started. He was not going to be any advantage for us defendants when he took the stand.”

“My measures will not be crippled by any bureaucracy. Here I don't have to worry about Justice; my mission is only to destroy and to exterminate; nothing more.”

“All nonsense. Nobody knows the real Göring. I am a man of many parts, but the autobiography, what does that tell you? Nothing. And those books put out by the party press, they are less than useless.”

Hermann Göring

Letter sent to Reinhard Heydrich, 31 July 1941 http://www.historyplace.com/worldwar2/timeline/order1.htm

“The German people trusted the Führer. Given his authoritarian direction of the state, they had no inﬂuence on events. Ignorant of the crimes of which we know today, the people have fought with loyalty, self-sacrifice, and courage, and they have suffered too in this life-and-death struggle into which they were arbitrarily thrust. The German people are free from blame.”
