In the past—that is, for most people it is still the present-the individual is everything, everything is directed at maintaining his life and improving his existence, everything focuses on him. ...

He can be sacrificed—he is prepared to sacrifice himself should the whole demand it.

— Adolf Hitler Disputed Hitler: Memoirs of a Confidant (1978)
