But as a German - and I am German-born - we Germans are condemned once again to be radical revisionists.

What we have to do now is to make the public at large aware that what we're looking at is not a historical event but - and I have to be brutal and I am going to say it - a racket.

I am not saying that Hitler was a choir boy. But I am saying, let him who was innocent in the Second World War cast the first stone.

I am not saying that during the Second World War Germany did not, under the leadership of the National Socialist government, commit crimes.

I am a radical.

That generation of Germans, along with volunteers from Denmark, Holland, even England and the Free India division and so on, we Europeans were alert and awake to the danger of Bolshevism.
