" "In view of the gravity of the situation, I wish to make a statement which I would like you to forward to M. Daladier.
As I have already told him, I bear no enmity whatever towards France.
I have personally renounced all claims to Alsace-Lorraine and recognized the Franco-German frontier.
I do not want war with your country; my one desire is to maintain good relations with it.
I find indeed the idea that I might have to fight France on account of Poland a very painful one.
The Polish provocation, however, has placed the Reich in a position which cannot be allowed to continue.
Several months ago I made extremely fair proposals to Poland, demanding the return of Danzig to the Reich and of a narrow strip of territory leading from this German city to East Prussia.
But the guarantee given by the British Government has encouraged the Poles to be obstinate.
Not only has the Warsaw Government rejected my proposals, but it has subjected the German minority, our blood-brothers, to the worst possible treatment, and has begun mobilization.
At first, I forbade the Press of the Reich to publish accounts of the cruelties suffered by the Germans in Poland.
But the situation has now become intolerable.
Are you aware, that there have been cases of castration?
That already there are more than 70,000 refugees in our camps?
Yesterday seven Germans were killed by the police in Bielitz, and thirty German reservists were machine-gunned at Lodz.
Our aeroplanes can no longer fly between Germany and East Prussia without being shot at; their route had been changed, but they are now even attacked over the sea.
Thus, the plane which was carrying State Secretary Stuckart was fired at by Polish warships, a fresh incident which I was not yet in a position to bring to the notice of Sir Nevile Henderson this morning.
No nation worthy of the name can put up with such unbearable insults.
France would not tolerate it any more than Germany.
These things have gone on long enough, and I will reply by force to any further provocations.
I want to state once again: I wish to avoid war with your country.
I will not attack France, but if she joins in the conflict, I will see it through to the bitter end.
As you are aware, I have just concluded a pact with Moscow that is not only theoretical, but, I may say, practical.
I believe I shall win, and you believe you will win: what is certain is that above all French and German blood will flow, the blood of two equally courageous peoples.
I say again, it is painful to me to think we might come to that. Please tell this to President Daladier on my behalf.

Additional quotes by Adolf Hitler
For many people the causes of this terrible war into which we were forced in 1939, began to be more clearly recognized, for this war did not bear the characteristics of the previous conflicts among the European nations to which we were accustomed. To an ever increasing degree it began to be generally realized that the reasons for this conflict were no longer to be sought in the usual interests even if plausible of the various nations, but that in reality it was one of those elementary struggles which shaking the foundations of the world but once in a thousand years, introduce a new millennium.

The Jew can take the credit for having corrupted the Graeco-Roman world. Previously words were used to express thoughts; he used words to invent the art of disguising thoughts. Lies are his strength, his weapon in the struggle. The Jew is said to be gifted. His only gift is that of juggling with other people's property and swindling each and everyone. Suppose I find by chance a picture that I believe to be a Titian. I tell the owner what I think of it, and I offer him a price. In a similar case, the Jew begins by declaring that the picture is valueless, he buys it for a song and sells it at a profit of 5000 per cent. To persuade people that a thing which has value, has none, and vice versa—that's not a sign of intelligence. They can't even overcome the smallest economic crisis!
