The greatest breach of faith of all time was committed against us Germans. Let us ensure that our domestic citizens are never again in a position to be destroyed. Then no one in the world will threaten us. Then peace will be maintained for our people or, if necessary, it will be imposed. Then our people will blossom and flourish. Our people will be able to put their genius, their ability, their diligence and tenacity into the works of peace and human culture. This is our wish. We hope so and believe it.”
