The two world wars that broke out in the 20th century both brought extremely painful costs to mankind and even the entire earth's civilization. Among them, the consequences of World War II were the most serious. There were more than 60 participating countries. The war covered almost the whole world. The global casualties were as high as 95 million. This does not include the number of indirect deaths due to the war. The war caused countless property losses, countless homes were destroyed, countless people lost their loved ones, etc. This is a human tragedy and an indelible sorrow.
In World War II, the German leader Hitler was one of the main perpetrators. He ordered the Nazi German army to kill more than 6 million Jews. They plundered their wealth, spread the flames of war throughout Europe, invaded many countries, and turned many warriors into battlefield souls. Hitler is recognized as a devil, but it is undeniable that his talents are outstanding. Especially in terms of eloquence, he deceived many people and made many people obsessed with him and blindly trust him. For example, these three sentences Hitler said during his lifetime still sound domineering today.
1. "Either the enemy steps on our corpses, or we step on the enemy."
This sentence can best boost the morale on the battlefield. Such heroic language was shouted in a high voice. The German soldiers in the audience must have felt like they were "bloody" when they heard Hitler's words, and they even wanted to rush to the battlefield to kill the enemy immediately. It must be said that Hitler was very good at inciting the emotions of his soldiers, so that many soldiers served him without any regrets.
2. "I want to stand on the highest place in the world and say to the whole world: stand at attention."
This sentence expresses Hitler's desire to become the ruler of the world, even a dictator, and his ambition to dominate the world is fully exposed. "Standing on the highest peak in the world" is a symbol of dominion over the world. Looking around, there are all his own troops below. I feel domineering when I imagine this scene. At that time, Hitler was ready to launch a war. The soldiers believed that their leader could lead them to the throne of world hegemony. These firm words from Hitler were enough to make the soldiers' blood boil.
3. "I would rather be the most successful loser than the most unsuccessful achiever."
It is reported that at that time, the anti-fascist Allies had successfully landed in Normandy, preparing to attack Berlin, Germany, and win the final victory on the European battlefield. Knowing that the end was over, Hitler still refused to surrender, so he persuaded Berlin youths to join the army. Because of this sentence, a large number of men were attracted to join the army, and a million-strong army was formed to defend Berlin. Of course, it could not stop the Allied counterattack. Seeing that hope was dashed, Hitler eventually died of a bullet.
Hitler's words are not only incisive and domineering, but also contain philosophical meanings. It has a strong flavor of "chicken soup", so much so that many business people nowadays use it as their motto to encourage themselves, especially entrepreneurs.
