"Why of course the people don't want war....But after all it is the leaders of the country who determine the policy, and it's always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy or a fascist dictatorship....All you have to do is tell them they're being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger."

That is from a jailcell interview at the time of the Neuremburg trials, not a quote from the proceeding itself.

Splendid quote, though.
