The book has brought me much enlightenment. . . What I believe I see at present makes me supremely confident! I see it coming, the pacification of the entire world. At first east of the Rhine as far as - yes, how far? This will depend on the USA. But probably as far as the Pacific Ocean! Yes, I believe this, I do believe, and I cannot see it any other way!
This word 'pacification' is what makes me say he was extraordinarily naive, simply failing to see the malicious side of this brand of fascism. That does not excuse him, just shows him to be incredibly blind. Also, such words as purification (in the other quote) have rightly launched aesthetic debates during serious discussions of his music.
