Quote

I have done what I felt to be my duty.

By the fulfillment of my legal and moral duty I think I have earned punishment just as little as the tens of thousands of dutiful German officials who have now been imprisoned only because they carried out their duties.

I think as long as you're not being malicious and you're not hurting people then you should not be ashamed of what you do.

My duty is clear and at all costs will be done.

There may be some people in the country who forget to perform their duty. You should set an example by doing your job with honesty and faithfulness.

I haven't took no punishment. There's nothing cool about taking punishment.

I don't think I would want the responsibility for enforcing the death penalties. There's always the inevitable question of whether someone you gave the order to execute might truly have been innocent.
