« The absolute submission of the child to the will of the child was not only reflected in the subsequent political subjugation (for example in the totalitarian system of the Third Reich), but, even before, by the internal predisposition to any new subjection, as soon as the child left the family home. How could a being who had only developed in himself the mere ability to obey the orders given to him have lived independently with this inner void? A military career was the best way to continue to be prescribed what we had to do. When someone like Adolf Hitler, like the father, claimed to know exactly what is good, just and necessary for others, it is not surprising that, in their nostalgia for submission, so many people celebrated the coming of such a character and helped him conquer power. All these young men had finally found for the rest of their lives a substitute for this figure of the father without whom they were unable to live. »
