Success Quote by Hans Frank

The line is a bureaucrat's lullaby: soften a brutal program by wrapping it in paperwork. Hans Frank pitches revision of Versailles as a reasonable, even treaty-sanctioned act, leaning on the phrase "provided for in that very treaty" like a lawyer citing precedent. The rhetorical trick is to turn grievance into procedure. If the treaty itself contains mechanisms for change, then agitation against it can be framed not as sabotage but as compliance - a neat inversion that launders political appetite through legal form.

The intent is less about peace than about legitimacy. "My dream" personalizes the claim, a move designed to sound earnest rather than strategic. Then he widens the circle - "probably the dream of every one of us" - manufacturing consensus and pressuring dissenters into seeming abnormal. It's the voice of the functionary who wants history to read like an administrative file: reformist, moderate, technically correct.

Context sharpens the cynicism. Frank was not a neutral civil servant but a Nazi jurist who helped build the legal architecture of a regime that treated law as an instrument, not a constraint. In that light, "peaceful means" reads as reputational cover: a way to present German expansionist aims as patient diplomacy, even as the movement prepared to use coercion and violence when procedure failed or proved too slow. The subtext is a plea to be seen as reasonable while advancing an unreasonable project - the classic authoritarian maneuver of weaponizing legality to make aggression look like governance.
