In a review, the historian Max Hastings wrote:We killed what fell into our hands.... We saw red, we had nothing in the heart of human emotions... what were earlier houses, were rubble, ash and smoldering beams, like festering sores in the bare field.... We had lit a bonfire, there was burning more than dead material, there also was burning our hopes, our desires,... the laws and values of the civilized world.... We retreated, bragging, intoxicated, loaded with booty
— Ernst von Salomon, The Outlaws[7]
A German Freikorps soldier, Erich Balla, described almost gleefully in his memoirs how his Freikorps comrades roamed the streets of Riga killing teenage girls, "mostly beautiful things", whom the murderers claimed "spent their nights in sexual orgies and their days in orgies of violence… They did not see their youth or their charm. They saw only the face of the devil as they were beating, shooting, stabbing them to death"
Ze hebben nooit echt gekke dingen gedaan met hoog gerankte nazi's. (voor zover ik weet) Als we hun ondervraag methodes en occasionele publiekelijke executies even buiten beschouwing laten.Vroeg mezelf vanmiddag af wat de Russen met de Führer zouden hebben gedaan als ze hem gepakt zouden hebben.
There is enough treachery, hatred violence absurdity in the average human being to supply any given army on any given day.Sommige mensen worden knettergek wanneer je alle restricties opheft.
