“ I extended my hand often - in vain.”

“I have done everything within my power here. Everything a man could possibly do, almost to the point of self-abasement to avoid it.
I made offer upon offer to the English.
I consulted with their diplomats here and pleaded with them to be reasonable.
But nothing could be done. They wanted war, and they made no effort to disguise it.
For seven years Churchill has been declaring "I want war!"
I regret that these people's must fight each other, whom I wanted so much to bring together.
I extended my hand often - in vain. They wanted this fight, now they shall have it.”
~ Adolf Hitler
