A history tidbit - attribute this quote please
Please identify the author of this quote, along with the date it was spoken

All through the country, we face subversion. We are overrun with cowards who seek a way out, or, as they say, a political solution. They say we must negotiate when we can still win.

Good luck!

If it's a RW type the quote is all but unattributable... it's what they always say.

16. Ding ding! 1943!
Sadly, those in Germany who opposed continuing with WWII were thought of by Hitler as cowards and traitors.

5. It sounds like and smells like Richard Nixon talking about the Vietnam War
...at the height of the bombing of North Vietnam or maybe Henry Kissinger at that same time

19. Is this it?
(I can be very persistent, especially when I just want to goof off here at the computer.... ;) )

"Up and down the country the devil of subversion strides. All the cowards are seeking a way out, or - as they call it - a political solution. They say, we must negotiate while there is still something in hand, and all these slogans are made use of to attack the natural sense of the people, who know well that in this war there can only be a fight to the end. "

The Trial of German Major War Criminals
Sitting at Nuremberg, Germany
November 20 to December 1, 1945
Sixth Day: Tuesday, 27th November, 1945
