Goebbels

In the first year of Nazi rule in Germany, the Expressionists continued to enjoy Goebbels’ patronage.

The Hitler acolyte Joseph Goebbels once said that the big joke on democracy was that it provided its mortal enemies with the means of its own destruction.

When he encounters the minister — an unnamed Joseph Goebbels — he sees him briefly as two distinct men.

Quandt, the ex-husband of Goebbels' wife, was judged to be a Mitläufer, meaning someone who accepted Nazi ideology but did not directly partake in its crimes.

They included Hitler’s propagandist Joseph Goebbels, who wrote in his diary in 1924: “I believe in the inner, but not the factual, truth of The Protocols.”
