" No doubt, there are individuals responsible for the blood of millions, and they go after bloodshed like tigers. Aside from their vulgar instincts, they have an inherently satanic will that takes cold pleasure in destroying human beings, perhaps even humanity. A deep sorrow seems to come over them, a wall of fury, when they sense that some power prevents them from devouring as much as their lust demands. You can see them preparing massacres when they seem unnecessary, even when they threaten their own security. It was horrible to hear what Jodl reported about Kniebolo's [Hitler's] objectives. (Paris, 8 February, 1942). "
