"The German Empire and the Soviet Union are the two pillars of the civillized world"

Excerpt from a wartime speech by Kaiser Frederich Wilhelm in the Second World War. The speech was given on August 11, 1943 and intended to boost support for the German alliance with the USSR in the war against Japan, Britain and the US, which many German right-wingers were wary of. The Kaiser held the belief a German-Soviet partnership was necessary to defeat the ultranationalist powers and thus worked to encourage positive attitudes towards them. When the postwar era saw tensions rise between the former allies, the Kaiser’s words led to him being pressured to abdicate.

“To kill a man is a terrible thing. It is good then that the French are no longer men.”

Spoken about frontierman Kit Carson of the North American dominion.
