Hermann Goering 1946 Quote

1945 Quote by Hermann Goering. Collected by Gustave Gilbert, a German-speaking intelligence officer and psychologist who was granted free access by the Allies to all the prisoners held in the Nuremberg jail. Gilbert kept a journal of his observations of the proceedings and his conversations with the prisoners, which he later published in the book Nuremberg Diary.

The quote was part of a conversation Gilbert held with Goering in his cell on the evening of 18 April 1946, as the trials were halted for a three-day Easter recess.
