LETTER TO THE EDITOR:

It can even work in America

Gustave Gilbert’s transcriptions during the Nuremberg War Crimes Trials, on April 18, 1946, include this quote from Hermann Göring:

“The people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same way in any country.”
