Bush family business associate in WWII (World War II).
People often compare Bush and Hitler because of the way they both suspended democratic constitutions. They are quite different. Could you for example imagine George W. Bush saying or even so much as thinking the following things:
Naturally the common people don’t want war: Neither in Russia, nor in England, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, it is the leaders of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country.
~ Hermann Göering (1893-01-02 1946-10-15 age:53), President of the Reichstag, Nazi Party and Luftwaffe Commander in Chief
The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.
~ Joseph Goebbels (1897-10-29 1945-05-01 age:47), German Minister of Propaganda, 1933— 1945
The great strength of the totalitarian state is that it forces those who fear it to imitate it.
~ Adolf Hitler (1889-04-20 1945-04-30 age:56)
The broad masses of a population are more amenable to the appeal of rhetoric than to any other force.

The great masses of the people will more easily fall victims to a big lie than to a small one.

The leader of genius must have the ability to make different opponents appear as if they belonged to one category.

Universal education is the most corroding and disintegrating poison that liberalism has ever invented for its own destruction.
~ Adolf Hitler (1889-04-20 1945-04-30 age:56)
What luck for rulers, that men do not think.

Chamberlain seemed such a nice old gentleman that I thought I would give him my autograph.
~ Adolf Hitler (1889-04-20 1945-04-30 age:56)
Secular schools can never be tolerated because such a school has no religious instruction and a general moral instruction without a religious foundation is built on air; consequently, all character training and religion must be derived from faith… We need believing people.
~ Adolf Hitler (1889-04-20 1945-04-30 age:56)
By means of shrewd lies, unremittingly repeated, it is possible to make people believe that heaven is hell — and hell heaven. The greater the lie, the more readily it will be believed.
~ Adolf Hitler (1889-04-20 1945-04-30 age:56)
We stand at the end of the Age of Reason. A new era of the magical explanation of the world is rising.
~ Adolf Hitler (1889-04-20 1945-04-30 age:56)
All this was inspired by the principle — which is quite true in itself — that in the big lie there is always a certain force of credibility; because the broad masses of a nation are always more easily corrupted in the deeper strata of their emotional nature than consciously or voluntarily; and thus in the primitive simplicity of their minds they more readily fall victims to the big lie than the small lie, since they themselves often tell small lies in little matters but would be ashamed to resort to large-scale falsehoods. It would never come into their heads to fabricate colossal untruths and they would not believe that others could have the impudence to distort the truth so infamously.
~ Adolf Hitler (1889-04-20 1945-04-30 age:56), Mein Kampf
