4 Sepp Dietrich Quotes on Politics

Sepp Dietrich quotes on politics

2. I never actively engaged in politics, never made speeches. Politics is a whore. It's too high for me. Just as I don't understand American politics, so I don't understand German politics. The only interest in politics is to get to know how to lead a life under the most favorable circumstances.

5. There was no Geneva Convention. But we didn't shoot Russians either. Where would we get three million prisoners if we shot all the Russians? Propaganda! You can't open your mouth, even in the biggest democracy. Do you think it's so nice to sit in prison after ten years of war for the Fatherland? If I would be God, I would do it differently!

7. He (Hitler) knew even less than the rest. He allowed himself to be taken for a sucker by everyone.

10. Dietrich quite openly criticised measures taken by the Fuhrer. He complains that the Fuhrer does not give his military staff a sufficiently free hand and that this tendency has now become so pronounced that the Fuhrer even lays down the employment of individual companies. But Dietrich is in no position to judge. The Fuhrer cannot rely on his military advisers. They have so often deceived him and thrown dust in his eyes that he now has to attend to every detail. Thank God he does attend to them, for if he did not, matters would be even worse than they are anyway.
