He tells the Pope, you know, you validated the Nazis, and how will you be remembered?

But it's a shame that you have to appeal to people's ego to get them to do the right thing.
It shouldn't really be ultimately because you're concerned about how you remembered.
It should be more that you're concerned about the future of the next generation and the generation that follows.

After the last Great War, we made Germany crawl.
We humiliated them, made them pay reparations they couldn't afford.

I don't know if we can beat them a third time.
If we just shoot these men, we make them martyrs.
I'm not gonna allow them that.
