While he was still in prison during the Nuremberg trials, Hermann Göring gave an interview to psychologist Gustav Gilbert! Göring said: "Of course, the people don't want war. Why should a simple farmer risk his life when the best he can get out of a war is to return unharmed to his farm? Nobody wants war - not in Russia, England, America or Germany. That's obvious. However, in the end, a country's leaders decide the policy. And getting the people to support these policies is easy. It doesn't matter whether it is democracy, communism, parliamentaryism or a fascist dictatorship. “ Gilbert replied: "But there is a difference in democracy - the people can express their opinions on elected representatives." “ Göring replied: "Of course, this is good, but no matter whether the people have a voice or not, they can always be forced to obey." It's simple: tell them they're under attack, then accuse the pacifists of being patriotic and endangering the country. It works in every country. “ ✍️ 18. April 1946, quoted from Gilbert's book The Nuremberg DiaryChristopherBlackwell
Obviously he's right!
