Never forget that everything Hitler did in Germany was legal.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I am not saying that during the Second World War Germany did not, under the leadership of the National Socialist government, commit crimes.
I was a student in Germany when Hitler came to power.
The Nazi period could have happened only in Germany because the German education of obedience to any law and order was the main problem.
If the Nuremberg laws were applied, then every post-war American president would have been hanged.
The Holocaust was the most evil crime ever committed.
The Nuremberg trials of Nazi leaders, in open court before an international tribunal, had a profound long-term effect in bringing Germans back to democracy and humanity.
I dealt with legal questions in the interest of Adolf Hitler and the NSDAP and its members during the difficult years of struggle for the victory of the Movement.
Most of the victims of Nazi aggression were before the war less well off than Germany. They should not be expected by Germany to bear, unaided, the major costs of Nazi aggression.
I think the most important idea is to remember that there have been times throughout American history where what is right is not the same as what is legal.
Hitler never abandoned the cloak of legality; he recognized the enormous psychological value of having the law on his side. Instead, he turned the law inside out and made illegality legal.
