In February of 1945, in the midst of the death rattles of the Nazi's collective existence, after the allies bombed Dresden, Robert Ley, the head of the Nazis' Labor Front, wrote:

"After the destruction of beautiful Dresden, we almost breathe a sigh of relief. It is over now. In focusing on our struggle and victory we are no longer distracted by concerns for the monuments of German culture. Onward!...Now we march toward the German victory without any superfluous ballast and without the heavy spiritual and material bourgeois baggage".

And as Jonah notes in his book, when Mussolini, his mistress and Nicola Bombacci, Mussolini's longtime confidant (and previously, a friend of Lenin's) were executed after being captured in April of 1945, Bombacci shouted, "Long live Mussolini! Long live Socialism!"
