Dr. Fritz Todt, Minister of Armaments and creator of the German Autobahn.  Todt on the war (December 27, 1941), “It is a struggle in which the primitive people will prove superior.  They can endure everything, including the harshness of the climate.  We are too sensitive and are bound to be defeated.  In the end, victory will go to the Russians and the Japanese.”  Todt was killed on February 8, 1942 in an airplane crash at Hitler’s headquarters, near Rastenburg, East Prussia.
