He put to me the four well-known conditions. First, Germany should finally agree that, as Russia felt herself again endangered by Finland, Russia should be able to liquidate Finland. This was the first question which I found difficult to answer. But I could not do otherwise than refuse this.

This arrangement resulted in a betrayal which at first liquidated the whole northeast of Europe. You know best what it meant for us to look on in silence as the Finnish people were being strangled, what it meant to us that the Baltic States were also being overpowered. What that meant can be judged by those who know German history and know that there is not a single square kilometer there of land which has not been opened up to culture and civilization by German pioneer work.
For the first time something like a European awakening passed through this continent. In the north, Finland is fighting, a true nation of heroes, for in her wide spaces she relies on her own strength, her bravery and tenacity.

" En juurikaan kunnioita Pohjoismaita. valtaantulostani lähtien Norjan, Ruotsin ja Suomen sanomalehdet ovat kilpailleet minun lokaamisessani... Minulla ei todellakaan ole mitään syytä tuntea ystävyyttä maita kohtaan, joiden lehdistö on kohdellut minua niin epäkunnioittavasti. Saksa sentään auttoi vuonna 1918 Von der Goltzin joukoilla Suomea vaikeassa tilanteessa, joten minusta meillä on oikeus odottaa suurempaa kiitollisuutta ja huomaavaisuutta mitä meille on osoitettu."
- Hitler Sven Hedinille 16.10.1939
