About This Quote

The Nazis were the enemy of the Allies during the Second World War. Hitler’s men were fighting in a war where they would either win or be destroyed. But, in some situations, not fighting is also defeat. The Nazis believed that force was the best strategy for winning battles.

They believed that attacking an enemy head-on was better than fighting in the shadows. The Nazis believed that their tactics were morally justified because they saved lives by avoiding pointless violence against civilians. This quote is taken from Sun Tzu’s book “The Art of War” and was written when the idea of war itself was still considered unethical by many people in ancient China.
