"We made everyone afraid of the same thing"

After Field Marshall Hermann Göring was captured by the Allied Forces, he was asked by a reporter:

— Field Marshall Göring. the Nazi Party only held 7% of the vote; how did you get the rest of Germany (the other 93%) to go along?

His response?

— Simple. We made everyone afraid of the same thing.
