Hitler, when giving his generals their orders to march on Poland, asserted, “Our strength is in our quickness and brutality. Genghis Khan had millions of women and children killed by his own will and with a cheerful heart. History sees only in him a great state builder. What weak Western European civilization thinks about me does not matter… I have sent to the east only my ‘Death Head’ units with the order to kill without mercy all men, women and children of Polish race and language. Only in such a way will we win the vital space that we need. Who still talks nowadays of the extermination of the Armenians?”
