Is it true that Hitler said at some point that the German
people were not worthy of his efforts or something to that effect.
If yes can you give some more info about the quote.

Albert Speer was the highest ranking Nazi to write a book after the war. It is called Inside the Third Reich. Speer started of as Hitler's architect and he designed 'The Cathedral of Light' effect at the Nuremburg rallies.

Later on he was put in charge of all armaments production after Dr. Todt died in a place crash. In Hitler's last week of life he ordered Speer to destroy all infrastructure. He wanted Berlin to go back to the stone age. Speer ignored this order and he later told Hitler to his face that he deliberately obeyed this order. Hitler suprisingly did not order Speer killed he simply sat there brooding as dismissed him coldly. That was the last time he ever saw Hitler.

When first given the order Hitler stated to Speer "If the war is lost, the people will be lost also. It is not necessary to worry about what the German people will need for elemental survival. On the contrary, it is best for us to destroy even these things. For the Nation has proved to be the weaker, and the future belongs soley to the stronger eastern nation.

In any case only those who are inferior will remain after this struggle, for the good have already been killed."
