NAVY

see "WAR & PEACE" for related links


Naval tradition? Monstrous. Nothing but rum,
sodomy, prayers, and the lash.
--Winston Churchill (1874—1965)
British Conservative statesman and
Prime Minister [1940—1945, 1951—1955].
In Harold Nicolson, diary [17 August 1950].

Damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead.
--David [Glasgow] Farragut (1801—1870)
Amercan admiral who achieved fame
for his Union naval victories during
the American Civil War [1861-1865];
the ranks of vice-admiral and admiral
were created for him.
(During the Battle of Mobile Bay.)

Heart of oak are our ships,
Heart of oak are our men:
We always are ready;
Steady, boys, steady;
We'll fight and we'll conquer again and again.
--David Garrick (1717—1779)
English actor-manager.
"Heart of Oak" [1759 song]

No matter what the atomic age brings, America
will always need sailors and ships and shipborne
aircraft to preserve her liberty, her communications
with the free world, even her existence. If the
deadly missiles with their apocalyptic warheads
are ever launched at America, the Navy will still
be out on blue water fighting for her, and the
nation or alliance that survives will be the one
that retains command of the oceans.
--Samuel Eliot Morison (1887—1976)
American historian, author and winner
of two Pulitzer Prizes.
_The Two-Ocean War_ [1963]

-

Don't give up the ship.
--Oliver Hazard Perry (1785—1819)
American naval officer.
(Words inscribed on his battle flag at the Battle of Lake Erie,
September 10, 1813. Perry took these words from Captain
James Lawrence, who is believed to have uttered them after
being mortally wounded in an engagement between his ship,
"Chesapeake," and the British frigate "Shannon" off Boston
Harbor, June 1, 1813 — GBAQ.)


We have met the enemy and they are ours — two
ships, two brigs, one schooner and one sloop.
--Oliver Hazard Perry (1785—1819)
American naval officer.
(Message dated September 19, 1813, to Gen.
William Henry Harrison, reporting Perry's
victory at the Battle of Lake Erie on
September 10 — GBAQ.)

-

We need to keep in a condition of preparedness,
especially as regards our navy, not because we
want war, but because we desire to stand with
those whose plea for peace is listened to with
respectful attention.
--Theodore Roosevelt (1858—1919)
American Republican statesman and President [1901—1909].
In a speech in New York City [11 November 1902].

I saw the new Italian navy. Its boats have glass
bottoms so they can see the old Italian navy.
--Peter F. Secchia (1937— )
American ambassador to Italy [1989—1993].



NAYSAYERS

A sigh can shatter a castle in the air.
--William R. Alger (1822—1905)
American minister and writer.

With the stones we cast at them, geniuses
build new roads for us.
--Paul Eldridge (1888—1982)
American educator, novelist, and poet.

I've pretty much made up my mind that the South
have achieved their independence & I am almost
ready to hope spring will see an end ... Believe me,
we never shall lick 'em ... I think before long the
majority will say that we are vainly working to effect
what never happens — the subjugation (for that is it)
of a great civilized nation. We shan't do it — at least
the Army can't.
--Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr. (1841—1935)
Justice of the United States Supreme Court,
legal historian, and philosopher.
In M.J. Cohan and John Major {eds.}
_History in Quotations_ [2004]
Cohan & Major explain:
The 21-year-old Holmes had almost been killed at the Battle
of Antietam on 15 Sept., and his letter reflects the sense of
despondency that had overcome the North at this stage of
the war.

Keep away from people who try to belittle
your ambitions. Small people always do
that, but the really great make you feel
that you, too, can become great.
--Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835—1910)
American humorist, novelist, journalist, and river pilot.

Our wretched species is so made that those
who walk on the well-trodden path always
throw stones at those who are showing a
new road.
--Voltaire (François Marie Arouet) (1694—1778)
French writer and philosopher.

A thousand years will pass and the
guilt of German will not be erased.
--Hans Frank (1900—1946)
German politician and lawyer who served
as govenor-general of Poland during WWII.
(Before he was hanged at Nuremberg.)

-

It's a dirty, low thing to do for the Catholic Church to continue
its subversive activity in every way possible and now even to extend
its propaganda to Protestant children evacuated from the regions
threatened by air raids. Next to the Jews these politico-divines are
about the most loathsome riffraff that we are still sheltering in
the Reich. The time will come after the war for an over-all solution
of this problem.
--Joseph Goebbels (1897—1945)
German Nazi leader & minister of propaganda.
_The Goebbels Diaries_ [1948], p. 146


I think it is imperative to give the Jews certain
public parks, not the best ones, and tell them: 'You
may sit on these benches.' These benches shall be
marked 'For Jews only'. Besides that they have no
business in German parks.
--Joseph Goebbels (1897—1945)
German Nazi leader & minister of propaganda.
[12 November 1938].

Concentration camp is certainly, like any form of
deprivation of liberty, a tough and strict measure.
Hard, productive labor, a regular life, exceptional
cleanliness in matters of daily life and personal
hygiene, splendid food, strict but fair treatment,
instruction in learning how to work again and how
to learn the necessary crafts—these are the
methods of education. The motto which stands
above these camps reads: there is a path to freedom.
Its milestones are obedience, hard work, honesty,
orderliness, cleanliness, sobriety, truthfulness, self-
sacrifice and love of the Fatherland.
--Heinrich Himmler (1900—1945)
German Nazi politician, police administrator,
and military commander.
(On 21 September 1939),
in B. F. Smith & A. E. Peterson _Heinrich Himmler_ [1974], p. 61.


We must exterminate these people root and
branch. Just think how many people will never be
born because of this, and how a people can be
broken in nerve and spirit when such a plague gets
hold of it. When someone in the Security Services,
in the SS, or in the government has homosexual
tendencies, he abandons the normal order of things
for the perverted world of the homosexual. We can't
permit such danger to the country; the homosexual
must be entirely eliminated.
--Heinrich Himmler (1900—1945)
German Nazi politician, police administrator,
and military commander.
To his doctor Felix Kersten; in _The Kersten Memoirs_ [1957] p.57.

Neither of the denominations—Catholic or
Protestant, they are both the same—has any future
left ... That won't stop me tearing up Christianity in
Germany, root and branch. One is either a Christian
or a German. You can't be both.
--Adolf Hitler (1889—1945)
German dictator.
In 1933.


These boys join our organization at the age of
ten ... and they will not be free again for the rest
of their lives.
--Adolf Hitler (1889—1945)
German dictator.
[4 December 1938],
in M.J. Cohan and John Major {eds.}
_History in Quotations_ [2004] p. 759;
Cohan & Major point out:
Boys spent four years in the first of the Nazi
youth organizations before graduating to the
Hitler Youth, after which they were absorbed
into the SA, the SS or the armed forces.


Reichsleiter Bouhler and Dr Brandt are entrusted
with the responsibility of extending the rights of
specially designated physicians, such that patients
who are judged incurable after the most thorough
review of their condition which is possible, can be
granted mercy killing.

German dictator.
Late Oct. 1939.
(Authorization for the euthanasia of mentally handicapped people, late October 1939.)
In M.J. Cohan and John Major {eds.}

& see:

If it is once accepted that people have the right to
kill 'unproductive' fellow humans — then as a *matter
of principle* murder is permitted for all unproductive
people, in other words for the incurably sick, the
people who have become invalids through labor
and war, for us all when we become old, frail and
therefore unproductive ... Woe to mankind, woe to
our German nation if God's holy commandment
'Thou shalt not kill' ... is not only broken, but if this
transgression is actually tolerated and permitted to
go unpunished.
--Bishop of Munster, Cardinal Count August von Galen,
sermon, [3 August 1941].

& see:

I am quite sure that a man like the Bishop von
Galen knows that after the war I shall exact retribution
down to the last farthing. And, if he does not succeed
in getting himself transferred, in the meanwhile, to
the Collegium Germanicum in Rome, he may rest
assured that in the balancing of our accounts no 'T'
will remain uncrossed, no 'I' undotted!
--Adolf Hitler (1889—1945)
German dictator.
[4 July 1942],
in _Hitler's Table Talk 1941-1944_.

In Nazism we have a phenomenon which seems scarcely capable
of subjection to rational analysis. Under a leader who talked in
apocalyptic tones of world power or destruction and a regime
founded on an utterly repulsive ideology of race-hatred, one of
the most culturally and economically advanced countries of
Europe planned for war, launched a world conflagration which
killed around fifty million people, and perpetrated atrocities —
culminating in the mechanised mass murder of millions of Jews —
of a nature and scale as to defy imagination. Faced with Auschwitz,
the explanatory powers of the historian seem puny indeed.
--Sir Ian Kershaw (1943— )
British historian.
_The Nazi Dictatorship: Perspectives of Interpretation_ [3rd edn., 1993]

Hitler is no worse, nay better, in my opinion, than the
other lugs. He makes the German mistake of being
tactless, that’s all.
--Henry Miller (1891—1980)
American novelist and essayist.
Letter, March 1939, to author Lawrence Durrell. Published in
The Durrell-Miller Letters 1935-1980 [1988]. Written shortly
after the Nazis had marched into Czechoslovakia.

I was a little shocked at the faces, especially those
of the women, when Hitler finally appeared on the
balcony for a moment. They reminded me of the
crazed expressions I saw once in the back country
of Louisiana on the faces of some Holy Rollers
who were about to hit the trail. They looked up at
him as if he were a Messiah, their faces transformed
into something positively inhuman.
--William L. Shirer (1904—1993)
American journalist, historian, and novelist.
_Berlin Diary_ [1941], p. 24 [4 September 1934].

In cinema theatres up & down the United Kingdom newsreels
showing Adolf Hitler's troops rupturing the Treaty of Versailles
and the Locarno Pact by marching into the Rhineland were
received with murmurs of approval, applause and even cheers
as last week opened. Newsreels of Poilus marching up to
defend the French frontier were almost everywhere received
by Britons in silence. Inquiring reporters for Baron Beaverbrook
stopped 5,000 citizens to ask: "Do you on the whole prefer the
French or the Germans?" The answer, blazoned next day in
London's Daily Express, was that 21% had no preference,
24% preferred the French and 55% preferred the Germans.
--"Germans Preferred"
_Time_ [23 March 1936]

The shooting of the Jews is simpler than that of the
Gypsies. One has to admit that the Jews go to their
death composed — they stand very calmly whereas
the Gypsies cry, scream and move constantly while
they already stand at the place of the shooting.
Several even jump into the ditch and pretend to be
dead.
--Junior officer Hans-Dietrich Walther, report of
4 November 1941 on reprisal executions in Serbia;
International Military Tribunal
_Trial of the Major War Criminals_ v. II [1947] pp.1139-40.

The coloured triangles signify:
red — political prisoners
green— professional criminals
black — a-socials [who included gypsies]
pink — homosexuals
violet — Jehovah's Witnesses
The Jewish prisoners wear no triangle, but the
Star of David.
--Rudolf Yrba and Alfred Wetzler, extract from their
report on Auschwitz, about 28 April 1944,
in M.J. Cohan and John Major {eds.}
_History in Quotations_ [2004] p. 831.
Cohan & Major add:
Yrba and Wetzler escaped from the Auschwitz death
camp on 10 April. Their report, based on their own
experience as prisoners. gave the outside world the
first hard confirmation of conditions inside the camp.
It was published in the United States on 2 Nov. 1944,
the same day that the Nazi order was given to begin
destroying the Auschwitz crematoria.

--

In 1920, a prominent German lawyer, Karl Binding, and a
distinguished German forensic psychiatrist, Alfred Hoche, wrote
a brief but deadly book, The Permission To Destroy Life Unworthy
of Life. In his new book, The Coming of the Third Reich (Penguin),
Richard Evans notes that Binding and Hoche emphasized that "the
incurably ill and the mentally retarded were costing millions of
marks and taking up thousands of much-needed hospital beds.
So doctors should be allowed to put them to death."

Then came Adolf Hitler, who thought this was a splendid, indeed
capital, idea.

The October 1, 2003, New York Daily News ran this Associated
Press report from Berlin:

"A new study reveals Nazi Germany killed at least 200,000 people
because of their disabilities—people deemed physically inferior,
said a report compiled by Germany's Federal Archive. Researchers
found evidence that doctors and hospital staff used gas, drugs and
starvation to kill disabled men, women and children at medical
facilities in Germany, Austria, Poland and the Czech Republic. . . .

"The Nazis launched the drive to root out what they
called 'worthless lives' [and 'useless eaters'] in the summer of
1939, pre-dating their full-scale organization of the Holocaust,
in which they killed 6 million Jews."

The more than 200,000 "worthless lives" terminated by the Nazis
before the Holocaust included few Jews. Most of those killed were
other Germans considered unfit to be included in "the master race."

Among the defendants at the Nuremberg trials of Nazi leaders and
their primary accomplices in the mass murder were German doctors who
had gone along with the official policy of euthanasia. An American
doctor, Leo Alexander, who spoke German, had interviewed the German
physician-defendants before the trials, and then served as an expert
on the American staff at Nuremberg.

In an article in the July 14, 1949, New England Journal of Medicine,
Dr. Alexander warned that the Nazis' crimes against humanity
had "started from small beginnings . . . merely a subtle shift in
emphasis in the basic attitude of the physicians. It started with
the acceptance, basic in the euthanasia movement, that there is such
a thing as life not worthy to be lived." [. . . ]

-

In October of 1939 amid the turmoil of the outbreak of war Hitler
ordered widespread "mercy killing" of the sick and disabled.

Code named "Aktion T 4," the Nazi euthanasia program to
eliminate "life unworthy of life" at first focused on newborns and
very young children. Midwives and doctors were required to register
children up to age three who showed symptoms of mental retardation,
physical deformity, or other symptoms included on a questionnaire
from the Reich Health Ministry.

[...]

The Nazi euthanasia program quickly expanded to include older
disabled children and adults. Hitler's decree of October, 1939,
typed on his personal stationery, enlarged "the authority of certain
physicians to be designated by name in such manner that persons
who, according to human judgment, are incurable can, upon a most
careful diagnosis of their condition of sickness, be accorded a mercy
death."

Questionnaires were then distributed to mental institutions,
hospitals and other institutions caring for the chronically ill.
Patients had to be reported if they suffered from schizophrenia,
epilepsy, senile disorders, therapy resistant paralysis and
syphilitic diseases, retardation, encephalitis, Huntington's chorea
and other neurological conditions, also those who had been
continuously in institutions for at least 5 years, or were
criminally insane, or did not posses German citizenship or were
not of German or related blood, including Jews, Negroes, and
Gypsies.

Omaha, Nebraska, was but a halting place on the road
to Chicago, but it revealed to me horrors that I would
not willingly have missed. The city to casual investigations
seemed to be populated entirely by Germans, Poles, Slavs,
Hungarians, Croats, Magyars, and all the scum of Eastern
European States, but it must have been laid out by the
Americans. No other people would cut the traffic of a
main street with two streams of railway lines, each some
eight or nine tracks wide, and cheerfully drive tramcars
across the metals. Every now and again they have horrible
railway crossing accidents at Omaha, but nobody seems
to think of building an overhead bridge. That would
interfere with the vested interests of the undertakers.
--Rudyard Kipling (1865—1936)
English writer and poet.
_American Notes_ [1891]

Barns back east have weather vanes on them to show
which way the wind is blowing, but out here there's
no need. . . . Farmers just look out the window to
see which way the barn is leaning. Some farmers . . .
attach a logging chain to a stout pole. They can
tell the wind direction by which way the chain is
blowing. They don't worry about high wind until
the chain starts whipping around and links begin
snapping off. Then they know it's likely the wind
will come up before morning.

American journalist and broadcaster.

In regard to this extensive section of the country,
I do not hesitate in giving the opinion that it is
almost wholly unfit for cultivation, and of course
uninhabitable by a people depending on agriculture
for their subsistence.
--Maj. Stephen H. Long, an early explorer of
Nebraska [c. 1820s] quoted in James C. Olsen
_History of Nebraska_ [1966].

We were at sea — there is no other adequate expression
— on the plains of Nebraska. . . . It was a world almost
without a feature, an empty sky, an empty earth; front
and back, the line of railway stretched from horizon to
horizon, like a cue across a billiard-board; on either hand,
the green plain ran till it touched the skirts of heaven.
--Robert Louis Stevenson (1850—1894)
Scottish essayist, poet, and novelist.
_Across the Plains_ [1892]

Hurrah for Greer county! The land of the free,
The land of the bedbug, grassshopper and flea;
I'll sing of its praises, I'll tell of its fame,
While starving to death on my government claim.
--Nebraska pioneer song [c.1870s]
