When starting and waging a war, it's not right that matters but victory. Close your hearts to pity. Act brutally. 80 million people must obtain what's their right. Their existence must be made secure. The stronger man is right. The greatest harshness. Our strength lies in our speed and our brutality. And this is the analogy he chooses.

And then he goes on to say, the aim of the war lies not in reaching particular lines, but in the physical annihilation of the enemy. By and large, people did not say that, I would say, in the First World War. Of course, people do say brutal things, but not beforehand so starkly and so coldly.

He says, so in the East, I have put my death's head formations at the ready with the command to send men, women and children of Polish descent and language to their deaths pitilessly and remorselessly. Poland must be depopulated and settled with Germans.

Well, we know that at least one of them was appalled by it. A guy called General Kurt Liebman. He said he found it repulsive. The bragging and brash tone was downright repulsive. He said this was a bloke who had lost all feeling of responsibility and who with unsurpassed wantonness was determined to leap into the dark. This is a guy, a senior general in the Wehrmacht.

He's not, you know, this is not a kind of pacifist speaking. And Liebman said at the time he thought that a lot of other generals were quite shocked. and thought this is all a bit strong. But they've sworn an oath to the Fuhrer. And of course, when wars start, people become radicalized very quickly. Yeah, but this is before the war's begun.

That's what's striking about it. Yes. Yeah, of course. That people may well have had doubts, I think, Tom. I would be surprised if Liebman was literally the only person at that meeting of 50 people or whatever to have any question marks in his mind.
