“At any given moment there is an orthodoxy, a body of ideas of which it is assumed that all right-thinking people will accept without question. It is not exactly forbidden to say this, that or the other, but it is "not done" to say it... Anyone who challenges the prevailing orthodoxy finds himself silenced with surprising effectiveness. A genuinely unfashionable opinion is almost never given a fair hearing, either in the popular press or in the high-brow periodicals.”
- George Orwell

"It is not the Germany of the decade that followed the war-broken, dejected and bowed down with a sense of apprehension and impotence. It is now full of hope and confidence...one man has accomplished this miracle...the old trust him; the young idolize him. It is not the admiration accorded to a popular leader. It is the worship of a national hero who has saved his country from utter despondence and degradation...I have never met a happier people."
- David Lloyd George, Ex-Prime Minister, UK.

"I don't believe I'll ever see again a people as happy and content as were the great majority of Germans under Hitler, especially in peacetime. Certainly some minorities suffered: former parliamentary politicians - because they couldn't play their political games; the Jews - because they lost their power over Germany; the gypsies - because during the war they were required to work; and crooked union bosses - because they lost their parasitical positions.

To this day I believe that the happiness of the majority of a people is more important than the well-being of a few spoiled minorities. In school there should be emphasis on promoting the best and the intelligent, as was done in Germany during the Hitler years - a fact that contributed after the war to the rapid German reconstruction. That Hitler was loved by his people, there can be no question.

Germany under Hitler was quite different from what the media would have you believe.”
- Hans Schmidt
