"I
have issued the command — and I'll have anybody
who utters but one word of criticism executed by a firing
squad — that our war aim does not consist in reaching
certain lines, but in the physical destruction of the
enemy. Accordingly, I have placed my death-head formations
in readiness — for the present only in the East
— with orders to them to send to death mercilessly
and without compassion, men, women, and children of
Polish derivation and language. Only thus shall we gain
the living space (Lebensraum) which we need. Who, after
all, speaks today of the annihilation of the Armenians?"
Adolf
Hitler
