Source for alleged MvR quote

Can anyone give or lead me to the source (preferably the original German) for the somewhat famous MvR quote "one must first overcome the inner schweinehund"?

I have heard of that "quote", however I do not know the source or validity.

Got it, or at least the original German - https://www.tumblr.com/search/von+richthofen

Still need the actual source though.
