Addressing Rudolf Höss (possibly in July 1942) during a visit to Birkenau prisoner-of-war camp (Kriegsgefangenenlager), where the inmates' and guards' deficient living conditions were pointed out, from Höss's autobiography written in a Polish prison, Death Dealer: The Memoirs of the SS Kommandant at Auschwitz (1996), pp. 286ff.

I don't want to hear anymore of your difficulties. For an SS officer there are no difficulties; his duty is always to remove difficulties himself as soon as they arise. How you do it is for you to figure out, not me.

— Heinrich Himmler

What It Means

This is a placeholder explanation generated by the low-overhead model. It interprets "I don't want to hear anymore of your difficulties. For an SS officer there are no difficulties; his duty is always to remove difficulties himself as soon as they arise. How you do it is for you to figure out, not me." in the context of "Addressing Rudolf Höss (possibly in July 1942) during a visit to Birkenau prisoner-of-war camp (Kriegsgefangenenlager), where the inmates' and guards' deficient living conditions were pointed out, from Höss's autobiography written in a Polish prison, Death Dealer: The Memoirs of the SS Kommandant at Auschwitz (1996), pp. 286ff." to mean that wisdom is timeless.
