Erich Raeder quotes
Erich Raeder was a German admiral who played a major role in shaping the Imperial and later Nazi Germany's navy. As Commander-in-Chief of the Kriegsmarine, he oversaw significant naval operations during the early years of World War II. He was later convicted at the Nuremberg Trials and spent years in prison for war crimes. Here are 4 of his quotes:
...to protect our position in the Norwegian and Arctic areas by threatening the flank of enemy operations against the northern Norwegian areas, and by attacking White Sea convoys...to tie down enemy forces in the Atlantic, so that they cannot operate in the Mediterranean, the Indian Ocean or the Pacific.
Erich Raeder
This is the reason for the clear and unsparing summons to fight Bolshevism and international Jewry, whose race-destroying activities we have sufficiently experienced on our own people. Therefore, the alliance with all similar-minded Nations who, like Germany, are not willing to allow their strength, dedicated to construction and peaceful work at home, to be disrupted by alien ideologies as by parasites of a foreign race.
