Erich Ludendorff citáty

Erich Ludendorff bol pruský a nemecký generál, politik. Bol faktickým vojenským veliteľom porazenej nemeckej armády v prvej svetovej vojne. Po vojne bol šíriteľom aj predstaviteľom mýtu o tom, že Nemecko prehralo vojnu len preto, že ho zradili republikáni a marxisti. Bol odporocom Versaillskej zmluvy a preto sa aj stal predstaviteľom nacionalistickej pravice a zúčastnil na neúspešných pučoch v rokoch 1920 a 1923. Od roku 1924 bol poslancom v parlamente a najvyššie postavenie dosiahol po prevzatí moci Hitlerom. V roku 1935 napísal knihu Der Totale Krieg , ktorú ako frázu využila nacistická propaganda. Ku koncu života bol pod vplyvom svojej druhej manželky Mathilde politicky bezvýznamný, ale oslavovaný a v roku 1937 mu Adolf Hitler vystrojil veľkolepý štátny pohreb. Wikipedia

Erich Ludendorff

In an attempt to regain Ludendorff's favor, Hitler paid Ludendorff an unannounced visit in 1935 and offered to make him a field marshal. Infuriated, Ludendorff thundered back with this statement. Quoted in "World War I: Encyclopedia" - Page 716 - by Spencer Tucker, Priscilla Mary Roberts - History - 2005

“The fifth act of the great drama in Flanders opened on the 22nd October. Enormous masses of ammunition, such as the human mind had never imagined before the war, were hurled upon the bodies of men who passed a miserable existence scattered about in mud-filled shell-holes. The horror of the shell-hole area of Verdun was surpassed. It was no longer life at all. It was mere unspeakable suffering. And through this world of mud the attackers dragged themselves, slowly, but steadily, and in dense masses. Caught in the advanced zone by our hail of fire they often collapsed, and the lonely man in the shell-hole breathed again. Then the mass came on again. Rifle and machine-gun jammed with the mud. Man fought against man, and only too often the mass was successful.”

"My War Memories, 1914-1918" - by Erich Ludendorff - 1919

“By the Revolution the Germans have made themselves pariahs among the nations, incapable of winning allies, helots in the service of foreigners and foreign capital, and deprived of all self-respect. In twenty years' time, the German people will curse the parties who now boast of having made the Revolution.”

Deutsche Gottglaube, quoted in W. W. Coole (ed.), Thus Spake Germany (London: George Routledge & Sons, 1941), p. 9

“For example, Italy and Soviet Russia, superficially considered, each seem to constitute a united people. But any scrutinising glance will perceive there tensions which will disintegrate the peoples of these two States immediately the outbreak of war permits them to explode.”

“We must all understand that only manly discipline—unconditional subordination to selfless leaders guided only by their public spirit, relegation of our own thoughts, and confidence in the Führer—can guarantee that the moral force of the individual shall be aggregated into a power that will effect the re-building of the nation and the Fatherland.”
