Hitler decided that. I thought it was stupid because I believed that first we had to defeat England.

What do I care about danger? I've sent soldiers and airmen to death against the enemy - why should I be afraid?

No. It was the last hours and he (Hitler) was under pressure. If I could have seen him personally it would have been different.

My Luftwaffe is invincible ... and so now we turn to England. How long will this one last - two, three weeks?'
