Our strength consists in our speed and in our brutality. Genghis Khan led millions of women and children to slaughter—with premeditation and a happy heart. History sees in him solely the founder of a state. It’s a matter of indifference to me what a weak western European civilization will say about me. I have issued the command—and I’ll have anybody who utters but one word of criticism executed by a firing squad—that our war aim does not consist in reaching certain lines, but in the physical destruction of the enemy. Accordingly, I have placed my death-head formation in readiness—for the present only in the East—with orders to them to send to death mercilessly and without compassion, men, women, and children of Polish derivation and language. Only thus shall we gain the living space (Lebensraum) which we need. Who, after all, speaks to-day of the annihilation of the Armenians?

Answer: its disputed. the internet says “Allegedly included in a speech at Obersalzberg, 22 August 1939.”

i don’t think it sounds much like Hitler, but i could certainly be wrong. its fairly common that evil-sounding quotes will be misattributed to historical villains. for example, many think Stalin said “one death is a tragedy, one million is a statistic.” when it was actually said by some obscure German writer.
