Quotes by Adolf Eichmann



Now that I look back, I realize that a life predicated on being obedient
and taking orders is a very comfortable life indeed. Living in such a way
reduces to a minimum one's need to think.
“To sum it all up, I must say that I regret nothing.”
“We shall meet again. I have believed in God. I obeyed the laws of war
and was loyal to my flag.”
“I was one of the many horses pulling the wagon and couldn't escape left
or right because of the will of the driver.”
From my childhood, obedience was something I could not get out of my
system. When I entered the armed service at the age of twenty-seven, I
found being obedient not a bit more difficult than it had been during my
life to that point. It was unthinkable that I would not follow orders.”
