Just take one look at this body language, clearly a tormented man. Hitler’s Minister of Culture and Propaganda Dr. Joseph Goebbels prior to giving a speech on his visit to the League of Nations in September 1933.
(HT to thequintessential over at iconicphotos)
His speech closed with this obviously facetous answer:
This Germany is no longer a centre of permanent unrest nor an experimental ground for destructive ideologies or anticultural experiments. This Germany is a centre of order and secured authority. The German nation itself however is far from any political resentment. It considers questions of international policy soberly, objectively and without prejudice. It is ready and determined to cooperate in the solution of the great crisis to the best of its ability. Just as it considers all other nations and their difficulties with sincere sympathy and understanding it hopes and wishes that the world will also endeavour to understand Germany and not to allow overheated passions to blind it to the true reality of things.
