      Thank you. That’s got some interesting further context too.

      Hitler delivered the speech in front of the Reichstag… right around the middle of World War II

      So it’s not in the lead up when Hitler ‘might’ have appeared good to more people: the way people often compare Trump these days.

      I myself am justified to refuse because since 1933 I have not taken three days’ leave — a fact which is probably not known to these individuals.

      Sounds just like what Trump might boast! Or how Musk justifies that people should work long hours!

      they are here for the nation, that is, the world, which includes Germany, must not decline in order that formal law may live, but Germany must live, irrespective of the contradictions of formal justice.

      (Emphasis mine.) That’s the worrying similarity that stood out to me most.
