Two Diary Entries from 1942
November 8, 1942:
American and English troops landed in French North Africa.  The painful speech in the newspaper clipping shows that they tried to obscure the facts a little.  No sobbing will help here.  The Americans are here!  This is an extremely uncomfortable position for the gentlemen in Berlin.  This will be of far-reaching significance.  The attack against Italy is beginning.  Mr. Mussolini make out your last will!!
Finally a cheerful piece of news.  Now the war will finally become interesting. A question to Hitler:  How was it possible that troops could be  transported unencumbered from America to Africa?  Where were your submarines, Herr Hitler?
A question to Goering:  A few days ago you expressed that the Americans were only bluffing.  Is the landing in North Africa also a bluff?
A question to the chief of the press Dr. Dietrich:  In your article, "The Battle for Tonnage," you asserted that the conditions were not present for large-scale military transactions on the part of the enemy.
If one could write down all the bragging that the party idiots have done, this would fill volumes.

 17 Dec 1942:
How is it possible that this one man, Adolf Hitler, could shake up the whole world? How was it possible this one man could subjugate the whole German nation?
Hitler is the craftiest criminal of all times. He is Satan and the devil in one person. He is the bloodiest tyrant filled with cruelty and unremitting hardness. He who seduces, inveigles, lies to, and cheats the German nation has won millions of adherents and makes them into fanatical fighters for his heresies -- which are nothing other than a conglomerate of ideas stolen from other fanatics. He is a copier of the purest water. Nothing that he brought forth has grown on its own manure pile. Nevertheless he enthused even savants and scientists.
All this is incomprehensible--but true. Over the course of twenty years Hitler has done whatever he wanted. Men, women and children danced to his whistle. He reigned not only in Germany. No, in all of Europe he set the tone. His whip snapped in every country, his poison was offered and taken everywhere in the world. Adolf Hitler was permitted to tear up treaties, to break the given word, to invade other countries, to plunder and steal other people's goods, and everything received enthusiastic applause from his followers. The more fanatical and cruel he was, the more rose the enthusiasm. The frenzy frequently approached insanity.
Hitler was permitted to begin war after war, to lead millions to slaughter, and nobody hurt him. How is that to be explained? There is actually only one single explanation: All this had to happen. This Hitler has appeared in order to be a glowing example of abomination for mankind. For me he has always been what he was, a bandit, a beast!
This individual carries all of the responsibility. But we may not forget that he had many helpers. Accomplices, helpers!
