This was stated by Adolf Hitler in 1939. Hitler really incorporates pathos into this quote. He relates to the German people by not making himself bigger than anyone else. He says he is just a soldier in the Reich, making him seem like everybody is on the same level as himself.
The most interesting aspect about this quote however is when he says "...I have once more put on that coat that was sacred and dear to me. I will not take it off again until victory is secured, or I will not survive the outcome." That is a clear foreshadow to his actual death, suicide. When Russian forces were heading into the capital, Hitler realized victory will not happen, so he ended himself, completing the foreshadow.
