"I did that all the more, if I may say so, because I was aware of the fact that there is an inclination to go to extremes in German people, and in the German character generally"

Fritz Sauckel's quote is a reflection on the German people and their character. He acknowledges that there is an inclination to go to extremes in the German people, and that this is something he understood. He then states that he did something "all the more" since of this disposition. This suggests that he understood the propensity of the German individuals to go to extremes and wanted to make sure that he did not do the same. He was most likely attempting to be conscious of the potential consequences of going to extremes and wished to avoid them. His quote is a reminder that it is important to be familiar with the capacity for going to extremes and to be conscious of the repercussions of doing so. It is likewise a tip that it is essential to be familiar with the character of the people around us and to be mindful of how our actions may affect them.
