We Have Made The Reich

It Is The Absolute Right Of The State To Supervise The Formation Of Public Opinion.

Should The German People Lay Down Their Arms, The Soviets... Would Occupy All Eastern And South-eastern Europe, Together With The Greater Part Of The [german] Reich. All Over This Territory, Which Would Be Of An Enormous Extent, An Iron Curtain Would At Once Descend.

I'm So Despondent About Everything. Everything I Try Goes Totally Wrong. There's No Escape From This Hole Here. I Feel Drained. So Far, I Still Haven't Found A Real Purpose In Life. Sometimes, I'm Afraid To Get Out Of Bed In The Morning. There's Nothing To Get Up For.

If We Are Attacked We Can Only Defend Ourselves With Guns Not With Butter.

Photography Today Is Accomplishing A Lofty Mission In Which Every German Should Collaborate By Buying A Camera. The German People Is Ahead Of Every Other In The Technical Domain And, Thanks To Its Exceptional Qualities, The Small Camera Has Conquered The Whole World... Much Is At Stake Here From The Point Of View Of Popular Consumer Goods And, Furthermore, Photography Has A Particularly Important Political Role To Play. (addressing The Berlin Photography Fair, 1933)
