{{cquote|Perhaps you will ask how it is that a nation of 60 million intelligent people will submit in fear and servitude to an alien, an [[Austria]]n paper hanger,<ref>a '''Paper hanger''' is a person with the occupation of applying [[wallpaper]].</ref> and a poor one at that, and a few associates like [[Joseph Goebbels|Goebbels]] and [[Hermann Göring|Göring]], who dictate every move of the people's lives?' The Cardinal went on to suggest that the [[brain]]s of 60 million Germans had been removed without their even noticing it."
