Is the following an authentic Hitler quotation?
“This year will go down in history. For the first time a civilized nation has full gun registration. Our streets will be safer, our police more efficient, and the world will follow our lead into the future.” –Adolph Hitler, 1935 Answer: No, it’s a hoax. At least, nobody has been able to verify it. For more information, see: http://www.guncite.com/gun_control_gcbogus.html http://www.guncite.com/gun_control_gcnazimyth.html The following is authentic: Der größte Unsinn, den man in den besetzen Ostgebieten machen könnte, sei der, den unterworfenen Völkern Waffen zu geben. Die Geschichte lehre, daß alle Herrenvölker untergegangen seien, nachdem sie den von ihnen unterworfenen Volkern Waffen bewilligt hatten. [The most foolish mistake we could possibly make would be to permit the conquered Eastern peoples to have arms. History teaches that all conquerors who have allowed their subject races to carry arms have prepared their own downfall by doing so.] — Adolf Hitler (1889-1945), April 11, 1
