Hitler's Table Talk
1941-1944
Page 68-69
As for the natives, we'll have to screen them carefully. The
Jew, that destroyer, we shall drive out. As far as the population
is concerned, I get a better impression in White Russia than in
the Ukraine.
We shan't settle in the Russian towns, and we'll let them fall
to pieces without intervening. And, above all, no remorse on
this subject! We're not going to play at children's nurses; we're
absolutely without obligations as far as these people are con-
cerned. To struggle against the hovels, chase away the fleas,
provide German teachers, bring out newspapers-very little of
that for us! We'll confine ourselves, perhaps, to setting up a
radio transmitter, under our control. For the rest, let them
know just enough to understand our highway signs, so that they
won't get themselves run over by our vehicles!
For them the word "Liberty" means the right to wash on feast-
days. If we arrive bringing soft soap, we'll obtain no sympathy.
These are views that will have to be completely readjusted.
There's only one duty: to Germanise this country by the
immigration of Germans, and to look upon the natives as Red-
skins.
