“The world has come to know Adolph Hitler for his insatiable
greed for power, his ruthlessness, his cruelty, his utter lack
of feeling, his contempt for established institutions, and his
lack of moral restraints. In the course of relatively few years
he has contrived to usurp such tremendous power that a few veiled
threats, accusations, or insinuations were sufficient to make
the world tremble. In open defiance of treaties he occupied huge
territories and conquered millions of people without even firing
a shot. When the world became tired of being frightened and
concluded that it was all a bluff, he initiated the most brutal
and most devastating war in history—a war that for a time
threatened the complete destruction of our civilization.
Human life and human suffering seem to leave this individual
completely untouched as he plunges along the course he believes
he was predestined to take”. Dr. Walter C. Langer.
