Default Germany must be destroyed . A collection of quotes

Germany must be destroyed . A collection of quotes

Introduction

"Germany must be destroyed" is a collection of quotes made by various political leaders, scholars, and opinion makers in the West over a period stretching back to the 19th century. It gives a feel for the "problem" that Germany has represented to other nations since Bismarck achieved unity in 1870 and the German people burst into world politics and economics with a vigor and efficiency that frightened many nations, and alienated not a few of her competitors and neighbors. In less politically correct eras it was common for the cognoscenti to express their opinions in fairly raw form. This may allow the modern reader to better appreciate the conduct of other nations toward Germany in times of both war and peace. It is useful in demonstrating how readily foes accepted or voiced accusations of German misconduct without overmuch concern for their legitimacy. For some, no claim was unbelievable when Germans were involved, a state of affairs that was to work against them mightily in the aftermaths of WWI and WWII. This is not to suggest that Germany was or is without problems and misdeeds, only that the fields of global politics and economics are not remarkable for their devotion to either altruism or truth, and that running with the big dogs can be a hazardous undertaking if you don't stay on your feet.
