Summary

This quote suggests that Adolf Hitler understood the power and influence that comes with having the support of the law. Rather than openly defying legal structures, he manipulated and twisted them to suit his own sinister agenda.

This highlights the danger of using legal frameworks to serve unethical or immoral purposes, as legality itself can be turned into a tool of oppression.
