“I’m not worthy to speak up for Adolf Hitler, and his life and deeds do not invite sentimental rousing. Hitler was a warrior, a warrior for humankind and a preacher of the gospel of justice for all nations. He was a reforming character of the highest order, and his historical fate was that he functioned in a time of unequalled brutality, which in the end felled him. Thus may the ordinary Western European look at Adolf Hitler. And we, his close followers, bow our heads at his death….”
– Knut Hamsun, leading Norwegian author, written (at great risk) upon the death of Hitler in 1945
