I agree with the first part.

But just to correct you, Goebbels didn't say that at any time. (Don't think the Nazis either)

Indeed, the best attribution gives it to Upton Sinclair in 1917 and likely reflected anxieties of WW1, not WW2; Sinclair wasn't saying it themselves, but attributing it to a government employee. This doesn't disconnect them, but shows that WW1 was the common factor.
