Elsewhere in the government, Dodd thought he detected a new and decidedly moderate bent, at least by comparison to Hitler, Göring, and Goebbels, whom he described as "adolescents in the great game of international leadership." It was in the next tier down, the ministries, that he found cause for hope.
Dodd observed a shift within the German government, noting a growing moderation among some officials when compared to the extremist ideologies of leaders like Hitler, Göring, and Goebbels. He characterized these high-ranking figures as immature in their approach to global leadership, indicating their volatile and reckless nature.
However, Dodd found a more promising attitude among lower-ranking ministry officials. This engagement suggested a possibility for more rational and moderate governance. Dodd's insights revealed a complex political landscape in Germany, where hope for a more balanced approach existed amidst the turmoil of the Nazi regime.
