EPILOGUE . . . . .355 INDEX 361 PREFACE IN the following account of conversations and meetings with well-known and unknown men of Germany, I have set out to do more than provide a supplement to my talks with Hitler, published two years ago. It seems to me that it is not enough to give a mere description of the background against which. is set the dubious figure of a man who has started great developments, but who is himself destitute of all the qualities of real greatness. I have tried to give a cross-section of that inflamed, feverish Germany of seven, eight, and nine years ago, in which the roots lie of the events of today. I have tried to afford an insight into the thoughts, the hopes and fears, of men who, whether known or unknown, share the responsibility for what is happening today in the world. I have set out not to explain, but to enable the reader to see for himself, how a whole nation, which, taken all in all, was no worse than other nations of Europe, a nation of hard-working, capable people, was precipitated into this madness, following the pied piper Hitler into the abyss. I have no desire to expose and denounce the nation in whose error and responsibility I have my share. My purpose has been to supply material for the understanding of what has happened. Those talks with Hitler, which I published at the outset of the war, aroused astonishment and a good deal of incre dulity. Events have since shown that they were neither an exercise of fancy nor an exaggeration of Hitlers significance. But one objection seemed justified was it really Hitlers ideas and Hitlers will that determined the course of events in Germany Was he not merely the puppet worked by other men in the background Were not Hitlers utterances in reality of no importance Was it not a shifting of respon sibility to push him so into the foreground Certainly the master of our fate is not Adolf Hitler. Great effects cannot proceed from small causes. The man is not a Titan. We have to deal with other forces than a single individual Great effects may be produced by small 7 8 MAKERS OF DESTRUCTION operations but behind these are the true causes, and those must be proportionate to the effects. Hitler made the war that can hardly be denied...
