Hermann Göring | to enslave people is to scare them

"It was very easy, it has nothing to do with Nazism, it has something to do with human nature. You can do it in a Nazi, socialist, communist regime, in a monarchy and even in a democracy. The only thing that needs to be done to enslave people is to scare them. If you manage to find a way to scare people, you can make them do what you want."

Hermann Göring | (Alleged quote from Adolf Hitler's closest confidant, attributed to Hermann Göring, when asked how the German people were made to "accept all of this")

"Es war sehr einfach, es hat nichts mit Nationalsozialismus zu tun, es hat etwas mit menschlicher Natur zu tun. Man kann es in einem Nazi-sozialistischen, kommunistischen Regime, in einer Monarchie und sogar in einer Demokratie tun. Das Einzige, was getan werden muss, um Menschen zu versklaven, ist, ihnen Angst zu machen. Wenn du es schaffst, einen Weg zu finden, um Menschen Angst zu machen, kannst du sie zu allem bringen, was du willst."
