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: Citations en anglais

“In the first place I'm sure Hitler did not write that damned testament himself. Probably some swine like Bormann wrote it for him. But I don't see what is so terrible in the testament when you examine it, anyway. There was Berlin, bombed every minute. The noise of artillery from the lousy Russians, the American and British bombers overhead. Maybe Hitler was a trifle unbalanced by all that. If he wrote the testament at such a time, it was hysteria. But essentially, what difference does it make?”

To Leon Goldensohn (27 May 1946)
The Nuremberg Interviews (2004)

“Excellency, please sign. I hate to say it, but my job is not the easiest one. Prague, your capital- I should be terribly sorry if I were compelled to destroy this beautiful city. But I would have to do it, to make the English and French understand that my air force can do all it claims to do. Because they still don't want to believe this is so, and I should like an opportunity of giving them proof.”

Said by Goering to the President of Czechoslovakia Emile Hácha on March 15, 1939, when Hácha, tired and under heavy pressure from Hitler to sign a document effectively handing his country over to Germany, nonetheless tried to resist signing. Hácha eventually gave up, and the combined pressure that Hitler and Goering had put on him caused Hácha to have a heart attack at 4:00 that morning. As quoted in On Borrowed Time: How World War II Began (1969) by Leonard Mosley, p. 167.

“I will decide who is a Jew!”

Göring is stated to have said this in Non-Germans Under the Third Reich: The Nazi Judicial and Administrative System in Germany (2003) by Diemut Majer, p. 60, and in other works, but he might have merely been repeating or paraphrasing the statement, Wer a Jud is, bestimm ich (Only I will decide who is a Jew) which in Strangers at Home and Abroad: Recollections of Austrian Jews Who Escaped Hitler (2000) by Adi Wimmer, p. 6, is said to have originated with Vienna mayor Karl Lueger in response to the observation that despite his anti-semitic speeches he still dined with Jews.
