When has there ever been a government in German history that came to the people and revealed its detailed plans for the coming years? That could not happen before, since German governments planned war and conquest.

In the past, people worked together only when some great disaster threatened.

The West German population would protest passionately if it knew what secret meetings between the federal chancellor, McCoy, and foreign and Nazi generals are planning.

Something new has happened: For the first time in German history our fatherland is guided by a plan that considers only the needs of the people, and aims at building prosperity and reconstructing of our fatherland.

To say I was near our president, performing at the Nobel Peace Prize... I think that's an amazing thing.

My God, war is not about bathrooms. War is not about political correctness or words that are meaningless. War is about winning.

Like the old soldier of the ballad, I now close my military career and just fade away, an old soldier who tried to do his duty as God gave him the light to see that duty. Goodbye.

No man has the right to use the great powers of the Presidency to lead the people, indirectly, into war.
