This has been compared to another incident of self-verification in the opposite way, where Josef Goebbels, in his Total War speech on February 18, 1943, begins to say "Ausrottung des Judentums" ("extermination of Jewry") but switches to saying "Ausschaltung", bearing in mind that he is speaking very publicly.[7] His resulting phrasing is "Ausrott... schaltung des Judentums", which can be likened to "exterm... elimination" in English.[7]
