THE TRIUMPH 
OF REASON 


"I believe that there can be nothing of value which is not in the 
last resort based on reason. I refuse to believe that in 
statesmanship one should regard as right any views which are 

not anchored in reason." 

- Adolf Hitler. Karlsruhe, 13th March 1936

FOREWORD 


Adolf Hitler has undoubtedly received more publicity than any other world figure, dead 
or alive. His persona, that of his political colleagues, his political party; the rise and 
combined Capitalist/Communist destruction fall of the Third Reich, have provided 
sufficient written material to fell several rain forests. At the latest count 120,000 
different titles. Virtually all of it the preposterous re-cycled one-sided propaganda of the 
victors. 

This absence of objectivity is equalled only by the difficulty of discovering first-hand 
what the German Leader actually said or thought. It is as if we sit in a court room in 
which the defendant, defence counsel and defence witnesses have been excluded. The 
judge and jury must form an opinion based exclusively on the accusations laid by the 
prosecution and witnesses for the prosecution. No proof of allegation will be required, 
they will face no questioning, call none but their own witnesses, every accusation will 
be accepted without question. 

Sixty years of unchallenged distortion, mischievous interpretation, bias, prejudice, the 
re-cycling of myths, hearsay - and what do we get: universal ignorance. An ignorance 
so profound that I was drawn to this conclusion. Should I invite twenty randomly 
picked people to provide a brief essay on major points of National Socialist history I 
could guarantee two certainties: twenty different answers, mostly provable poppycock. 
"In no country has the historical blackout been more intense and effective than in Great 
Britain. Here, it has been ingeniously christened, The Iron Curtain of Discreet Silence, 
by the able English lawyer and historian of warfare, Frederick J.P Veale. Virtually 
nothing has been written to reveal the truth about British responsibility for the Second 
World War and its disastrous results." So said Harry Elmer Barnes, America's foremost 
revisionist historian. He was absolutely right of course. 

But can't we, the people who suffered the consequences of Europe’s most destructive 
brother-war be trusted to examine the whole evidence and form our own conclusions? 
If Hitler's Mein Kampf (only the Bible has sold more copies this century), his speeches 
and opinions are the rantings of a madman as is claimed why are they not readily 
available so that we can judge for ourselves? Is it because the victors' lies cannot bear 
the cold light of objectivity? 

Here then is a rare opportunity to examine the authentic first-hand expressions uttered 
by the German Leader who won the hearts of minds of hundreds of millions of 
Europeans. These extracts have so far been undemocratically denied by the so-called 
'champions of free speech', the tabloid hacks and the palace historians. Agree or 


disagree with the Fuhrer's account of unfolding events his hopes and his fears. 
Whatever; the liberating experience will elevate your freedom of thought and make you 
less of a manipulated puppet. You will stand taller and be a better human being as a 
consequence. -Michael Walsh

THE THREE MAIN AIMS OF 
THE NATIONAL SOCIALIST REVOLUTION 

i) To prevent the threatened Communist revolution, to build up a national State which 
shall unite the interests of the different classes and castes, and to maintain the idea of 
property as the basis of our culture. 

ii) To solve the most difficult of social problems by bringing back the millions of our 
unfortunate unemployed into productive work. 

iii) To establish an authoritative Government, supported by the will and confidence of 
the nation, which shall make our great people an acceptable partner of the other States 
of the world." 


ITS PURPOSE 


The Reichstag, 17th May 
1933 


What we must fight for is the security of the existence and reproduction of our 
race and our people, the sustenance of our children and the maintenance of the 
purity of our blood ... so that our people may mature for the fulfilment of the 
mission allotted them by the Creator of the universe. 

Every thought and every idea, every doctrine and all knowledge must serve this 
purpose. And everything must be examined from this point of view and used or 
rejected according to its utility. Then no theory will stiffen into a dead doctrine, 
since it is life alone that all things must serve ... 

... The National Socialist philosophy finds the importance of mankind in its basic 
racial elements. In the state it sees on principle a means to an end and construes 
that end as the preservation of the racial existence of man ... 

And so the National Socialist philosophy of life corresponds to the innermost 
will of Nature, since it restores that free play of forces which must lead to a 
continuous mutual higher breeding, until finally the best of humanity, having 
achieved possession of this earth, will have a free play for activity in domains 
which will lie partly above it and partly outside it. 

We all sense that in the distant future humanity must be faced by problems 
which only a highest race, become master people and supported by the means 
and possibilities of an entire globe, will be equipped to overcome ... 

Thus, the highest purpose of a National Socialist state is concern for the 
preservation of those original racial elements which bestow culture and create 
the beauty and dignity of a higher mankind. We, as Aryans, can conceive of the 
state only as the living organism of a nationality, which not only assures the 
preservation of this nationality, but also by the development of its spiritual and 
ideal abilities leads it to the highest freedom ... 

A National Socialist state must begin by raising marriage from the level of a 
continuous defilement of the race and give it the consecration of an institution 
which is called upon to produce images of the Lord and not monstrosities 
halfway between man and ape ... 

It must set race in the centre of all life. It must take care to keep it pure. It must 
declare the child to be the most precious treasure of the people. It must see to it 
that only the healthy beget children ... 

The National Socialist state must make certain that by a suitable education of 
youth it will someday obtain a race ripe for the last and greatest decisions on this 
earth ... 

... Anyone who wants to cure this era, which is inwardly sick and rotten, must 
first summon the courage to make clear the causes of this disease. And this 
should be the concern of the National Socialist movement: pushing aside all 
narrow-mindedness, to gather and to organise from the ranks of our nation those 
forces capable of becoming the vanguard fighters for a new philosophy of life ... 



We are not simple enough to believe that it could ever be possible to bring about 
a perfect era. But this relieves no one of the obligation to combat recognised 
errors, to overcome weaknesses, and to strive for the ideal. Harsh reality of its 
own accord will create only too many limitations. For that very reason, however, 
man must try to serve the ultimate goal, and failures must not deter him, any 
more than he can abandon a system of justice because mistakes creep into it; or 
any more than medicine is discarded because there always will be sickness in 
spite of it. 

We National Socialists know that with this conception we stand as 
revolutionaries in the world of today and are branded as such. But our thoughts 
and actions must in no way be determined by the approval or disapproval of our 
time, but by the binding obligation to a truth which we have recognised" Adolf 
Hitler - Mein Kampf). 

IN THE BEGINNING THERE WAS THE WORD 

"When on the 24th February 1920 I spoke for the first time in this hall, it was one thing 
which brought me here, which gave me the courage to speak before this community: 
faith in Germany, faith in the German people, in its good and imperishable values. And 
at that time such faith was essential, for there could not have been a worse time for the 
founding of such a new movement than in those days 

No one had faith then in what we did. And yet in the bitterest of times we had faith in 
Germany ... it was the faith in that other Germany which then only slept, that lived 
again, and today celebrates its proud resurrection: the faith in the Germany of simple 
fellow-countrymen, the faith in this people, which in its heart is such an amazingly 
decent people, which the politicians could not any longer see, because they moved only 
in their own circle which had assuredly lost them all contact with the people. It was the 
Germany of millions of honest riflemen and grenadiers, of millions of honest women 
who had gone hungry through the war, who together had all bravely and loyally 
defended their homeland for four and a half years. 

It was perhaps fortunate that many of our number never dreamed of the length of time it 
would take to awake this Germany from her sleep. Many a one would have perhaps lost 
heart. But as it was we hoped on: from the first month to the second, from the first year 
to the second, to the third, fourth and fifth, and at last, with this hope and faith came the 
hour which we had longed for. And it had to come, never forget that!" 

When I then spoke for the first time our programme was the greatest challenge of the 
century, a challenge against this age, against the spirit of this age. It was a beginning of 
an infinite difficulty. Who were we after all? Only nameless folk! Not one prominent 
personality among us, no politician, no parliamentarian. 

The dirt of the trenches still hung about us. All those who opposed us hurled their 
taunts at us: 'What do you want? You have absolutely no qualifications.' Only those 
who had brought Germany to disaster were 'qualified' in those days. 

Further, we lacked the unction of the politicians of that time. We had no capital. A 
Movement founded by men who had no name, a party founded without capital appeared 
like a limited liability company with no one to buy its shares. Someone had obviously 
to take part in the enterprise who had a name and capital - and we had neither. We had 


hardly a pfennig to our credit and all those who did really possess capital gave us a wide 
berth. They said 'Be off! you have not a name amongst you', and those who had a name 
said 'Away with you! - you have no capital.' And besides that we had no newspaper. 

The question was: How did we intend to become known at all? To come before the 
public with nothing - without known names, with a programme that attacked everyone - 
it was an extraordinary difficult decision to take. It needed a tremendous struggle even 
to bring the Movement to the consciousness of the German people. 

Folk objected to the harshness of our tone, the brutality of our fighting. They criticised 
our unpolished speeches. Does anyone think that in another way we could have got the 
public to listen to us? 

We had to fight in this way; only so we could find our way to the ear of the nation. . 
Further, in opposition to all similar movements started at this time in Germany, I held 
the view that we should not unite with others, but forge our own way through. One did 
not dare at that time to trust oneself to any false solidarity; one could not say, 'After all 
they want the same thing as you do.' No, there must be one will in Germany, and all 
other wills must be mastered. For fifteen years we (National Socialists) have held to 
this watchword and at the last that watchword has led us to complete and final victory. 

At that time people said, 'You are but a splinter party'. It is true, we were then a splinter, 
but that splinter was of steel and like a magnet it drew to itself the iron out of the nation. 
Beyond that nothing was of any account. And thus as a splinter party at first we were 
hated by everyone. In a few years we were attacked on every side by all the other 
parties. An Englishman said once, if you want to know whether a man is a genius, you 
have only to keep your eyes open and see whether the lesser fry do not suddenly band 
themselves together against him. If they do, this is the sure sign of the coming of a 
genius. And if you would recognise an important movement you have only to observe 
how the whole pack of mutually hostile parties suddenly take a hand in the game. If 
they suddenly unite, although according to their programme they ought to be fighting 
each other, (Communism and Capitalism! Ed.) then you may be sure that they see a 
coming danger approaching. And that is what we were able to notice only a short time 
after the beginning of our Movement." 

- Hitler's Speech to the Hofbrauhaus at the celebration of the fifteenth anniversary of the 
founding of the NSDAP 

NATIONAL SOCIALISM: ITS MEANING 

“’Socialist’ I define from the word ‘social’ meaning in the main ‘social equity’. A 
Socialist is one who serves the common good without giving up his individuality or 
personality or the product of his personal efficiency. 

Our adopted term ‘Socialist has nothing to do with Marxian Socialism. Marxism is 
anti-property; true socialism is not. Marxism places no value on the individual, or 
individual effort, of efficiency; true Socialism values the individual and encourages him 
in individual efficiency, at the same time holding that his interests as an individual must 
be in consonance with those of the community. All great inventions, discoveries, 
achievements were first the product of an individual brain. It is charged against me that I 
am against property, that I am an atheist. Both charges are false.” 

- Sunday Express 28 th 
December 1938 


"If once, as an unknown soldier of the World War, I entered on the path which led me to 
the head of the nation and which today brings me before you once again, I owe the 
courage to make that audacious decision solely to my own faith in the worth of my 
people. I feel that I must say here today that it was fortunate for me that in the years of 
my youth and during my time as a soldier I had the opportunity of learning to know only 
the people, for it alone gave me faith, and the memory of it has sustained me through all 
the difficulties and mishaps. 

If at the time, instead of my knowledge of the people, I had the knowledge which came 
to me later of its intellectual leaders and especially of its bourgeois political leaders, 
their social ethic, and the public and private failings, I, too, perhaps should have felt 
doubt of the German people and its future. But what bore me up in those bitter days and 
the weeks of collapse was not my knowledge of the political and military leaders of 
Germany or of the intellectual classes, so far as personalities were concerned: it was my 
knowledge of the German rifleman, my knowledge of the German front-line soldier, my 
knowledge of those massed millions of German workmen and peasants from which this 
steel-hard core of the German people was made . . . 

For on this point there can be no doubt. The human and moral worth of the leadership of 
the nation in those days did not even approximately correspond to the worth of those 
whom it lead." 

- Opening of the Party Congress, Nuremberg, 6th 

September 1938 


"While all these formidable transformations were occurring in Europe, Corporal 
Hitler was fighting his long, wearing battle for the German heart. The story of 
that struggle cannot be read without admiration for the courage, the perseverance, 
and the vital force which enabled him to challenge, defy, conciliate, or overcome all 
the authorities or resistance's which barred his path. He, and the ever increasing 
legions who worked with him, certainly showed at this time, in their patriotic 
ardour and love of country, that there was nothing that they would not dare, no 
sacrifice of life, limb or liberty that they would not make themselves or inflict upon 
their opponents." - Winston Churchill, 'Makers of War', Francis Nielson, p.101 


THE NATIONAL UNITY OF THE SWASTIKA 

"I had to make all individual symbols give way before one new symbol, which was 
destined to become henceforth the symbol of the Reich - the symbol of the German 
nation! Higher than Prussia, higher than Bavaria, higher than Saxony or Wurttemberg, 
was to stand always and eternally the thought of Germany, the German Reich!" - 
Reichenberg, (to the Sudeten Germans) 2nd December 1938 

THE ORIGINS OF THE NATIONAL SOCIALIST TITLE "I had by that time, in 
1918, discovered two ideals which, it seemed, could unquestionably inspire men and 
bring them under their spell - the Socialist and the National ideals. For these two ideals 


men at that time were ready if necessary even to die. If an ideal can so inspire a man 
that he is prepared to give his life for it, then it holds within it a mighty and a kindling 
force. And I was then resolved to take these two ideals and to fuse them into a single 
whole. If I succeeded in that, then the nation might be saved. If not, the nation would 
more and more tear itself into pieces, and would finally go down in impotence and 
ruin." - Reichenberg, (to the Sudeten Germans) 2nd December 1938 

"And he who in this people sympathises with the poorest of its citizens, who in this 
people see in every individual a valuable member of the whole community, and who 
recognises that this community can flourish only when it is formed not of rulers and 
oppressed but only when all according to their capacities fulfil their duty to their 
Fatherland and the community of the people are valued accordingly, he who seeks to 
preserve the native vigour, the strength and the youthful energy of the millions of 
working men, and who above all is concerned that our precious possession, our youth, 
should not before its time be used up in unhealthy, harmful work - he is not merely a 
Socialist, but he is also a National in the highest sense of that word." - Hitler's Speeches, 
Baynes. Vol.l. The Institute of International Affairs. 1942 

" ... we christened it (the party) 'National Socialist’. We said to ourselves to be 
'national' means above everything to act with a boundless and all-embracing love for the 
people, and if necessary, even to die for it. And similarly to be 'social' means so to build 
up the State and the community of the people that every individual acts in the interest of 
the community of the people and must be to such an extent convinced of the goodness, 
of the honourable straightforwardness of the community of the people and to be ready to 
die for it." - Hitler's Speeches, Baynes. Vol.l. The Institute of International Affairs. 
1942 

"There are three words which many use without a thought which for us are no catch- 
phrases: Love, Faith and Hope. We National Socialists wish to love our Fatherland, we 
wish to learn to love it jealously, to love it alone and to suffer no other idol to stand by 
its side. We know only one interest and that is the interests of our people. 

We have faith in the rights of our people, the rights which have existed time out of 
mind. We must learn to make our own this blind faith in the rights of our people, in the 
necessity of devoting ourselves to the service of these rights. And from this love and 
from this faith there emerges for us the idea of hope. When others doubt and hesitate 
for the future of Germany - we have no doubts. 

We have both the hope and the faith that the day will come on which Germany shall 
stretch from Konigsberg to Strasburg, and from Hamburg to Vienna. We have faith that 
one day Heaven will bring the Germans back into the Reich over which there shall be no 
Soviet star, no Jewish star of David, but above that Reich there shall be the symbol of 
German labour - the Swastika. And that will mean that the 1st May has truly come." - 
1st May 1923. Hitler's Speeches, Baynes. Royal Institute of International Affairs, 1942 

THE BIRTH OF THE SA. AND THE SS. 

Formed on 3rd August 1921 to keep order at meetings and to educate the masses in 
the principles of the Party its role. After the NSDAP's coming to power and the 



Roehm purge its role was modified. Principally the SA. (Sturmabteilungen - 
Storm Sections acted as an instrument of political and physical education. The 
SS. (Schutzstaffel - Political Police) formed in 1923 to substitute the post-Putsch 
banning of the SA. "I can say with pride, comrades of the SA. and SS., that if the whole 
German people now was possessed of the spirit which is in us and in you, then Germany 
would be indestructible. Even without arms, Germany would represent an unheard of 
strength through this inner will tempered by steel. It is true that the equality that is 
realised in you was realised only at the cost of that freedom of which others spoke. We 
have, too, adopted the principle of leadership, the conception of authority. That was a 
heavy sacrifice at a time when the whole people was running after the illusion of 
democracy and parliamentarianism, when millions believed that the majority was the 
source of a right decision. It was at this time that we began resolutely to build up an 
organisation in which there was not one dictator but ten thousand. When our opponents 
say: 'It is easy for you: you are a dictator' - we answer them, 'No, gentlemen, you are 
wrong: there is no single dictator, but ten thousand each in his own place.' And even the 
highest authority in the hierarchy itself has itself only one wish, never to transgress 
against the supreme authority to which it, too, is responsible. We have in our 
Movement developed this loyalty in following the leader, the blind obedience of which 
all the others know nothing and which gave to us the power to surmount everything." - 
Speech to the SA. of Berlin, 8th April 1933 

My heart overflowed with joy when I saw the first reports of those trials (November 8th, 
1923 Putsch), when I read in the Munich Post, 'The men of the Shock Troops are just as 
insolent and shameless as was their lord and master.' Then I knew that Germany was 
not lost! That spirit would gnaw its way through anything. Such a spirit they can no 
longer destroy. And out of these Shock-Troop men and these SA. men were later 
formed the greatest organisations of the German Movement - the SA. and the SS. And 
the spirit has remained: it has ever and again proved itself ten thousand - a hundred 
thousand-fold.' - Munich, 8th November 1935. Celebration of the 12th Anniversary of 
the November 1923 Putsch 

"Without the organisation of the SA. and SS.. we should all have fallen victims to the 
Red Terror . . . Without the National Socialist Party, without the SA. and the SS., even a 
German uprising could have only taken the form of a bloody and turbulent massacre; it 
is only thanks to the Party that one of the greatest revolutions in world-history was 
effected with such discipline, with such order that only in a single State could it find its 
model and its parallel - in the Italy of the Fascist Revolution. And it is not because of 
any fear of blood that we have carried through this Revolution without bloodshed, but 
only because of our profound sympathy with those whom we have always regarded only 
as misled, seduced by lies." - Reichstag, 30th January 1934 

In the catechism of the SS. (Schutzstaefel) the SS man professes his faith in 'a Lord 
God' You may rest assured that we could not have formed this corps sworn to unity 
if we had not had the conviction of and faith in a Lord God Who stands above us, Who 
has created us and our Fatherland, our people and this earth and Who has sent us our 
Leader." - Heinrich Himmler, Reichs-Leader, SS 



"This struggle has not only demanded sacrifice in blood, but above all inner sacrifices of 
the spirit. How many of you had to endure for long years the life of outlaws in this 
Germany which none has loved more than you did! Many of you had to pay the cost of 
this struggle with the loss of your position and your daily bread. And for years you have 
had ranged against you not only the brutal violence of the organised mob, you have had 
against you, too, the authority of the State, the ally of this mob. There hardly seemed 
any prospect that you could succeed against this conspiracy of baseness, of unreason and 
of power . . . and yet today Germany has in truth risen again and risen again as our 
work." - Speech to the 'political soldiers of the Movement, Nuremberg Party Day, 
September 1937. 

HONESTY IN POLITICS 

"I have always refused to come before this people and make cheap promises." 

- Adolf Hitler 

In his speech delivered to the Berlin Sportpalast on 10th February 1933, Hitler 
said: "The first point in the Government Programme was: our will is not to lie and not 
to cheat: it is for this reason that I have always refused to come before this people and 
make cheap promises." 

"... it has been forgotten that the condition which must precede every act is the will 
and the courage to speak the truth - and that we do not see today either in the right or in 
the Left." - Hitler's Speeches, Baynes. Vol.l. The Institute of International Affairs. 1942 

"We have been asked today to define our programme: for the moment we can say only 
one thing: you (the Social Democrats) began with a lie and we want to make a fresh 
beginning with a truth. The lie was beautiful and seductive, and truth, that is always 
bitter and hard. But one day the lie is unmasked: one day the truth will conquer. ... I 
did not wish to begin like the others with a lie: they promised when they came into 
power improvement in a few months. When a building is completely ruined one cannot 
restore it in four or six weeks. The others in the years that are past have not had the 
blessing of the Almighty in Whose hands at the last, whatever men may do, the final 
judgement rests. Our prayer is: Lord God, let us never hesitate, let us never play the 
coward, let us never forget the duty which were have taken upon us." - Konigsberg, 4th 
March 1933. Dokumente der Deutschen Politik, i (1935), pp. 14 -15 

"We know well that in our people there are millions of honest working-men who have 
no conception of the fate which lies before them. They read only Marxist newspapers: 
year after year they are told: 'You must read only this paper: you must not go to any 
meetings of your opponents.' And why not? Everywhere truth must be able to hold its 
own. They know that the truth is not on their side: hence this terrorism, hence this 
violence, hence this attempt to throw men into confusion through sedition." 

- Sportpalast, Berlin. 2nd 

March 1933 


THE PARLIAMENTARY 
SYSTEM OF GOVERNMENT 


"A turbulent mass of people, all gesticulating and bawling against one another, 
with a pathetic old man shaking his bell and making frantic efforts to call the 
House to a sense of its dignity by friendly appeals, exhortations, and grave 
warnings. I could not refrain from laughing." - Adolf Hitler 

"I was not yet twenty years of age when I first entered the palace on the Franzensring to 
watch and listen in the Chamber of Deputies. That first experience aroused in me a 
profound feeling of repugnance. 

I had always hated the Parliament, but not as an institution in itself. Quite the contrary. 
As one who cherished ideals of political freedom I could not even imagine any other 
form of government. In the light of my attitude towards the House of Hapsburg I should 
then have considered it a crime against liberty and reason to think of any kind of 
dictatorship as a possible means of government. 

A certain admiration which I had for the British Parliament contributed towards the 
formation of this opinion. I could not discard that admiration all in a moment. The 
dignified way in which the British House of Commons fulfilled its function impressed 
me greatly, thanks largely to the glowing terms in which the Austrian Press reported 
these events. I used to ask myself whether there could be any nobler form of 
government than self-government by the people. 

Such was my general attitude at the time when I first entered those sacred and 
contentious halls. For me they were sacred only because of the radiant beauty of that 
majestic ediface. A Greek wonder on German soil. 

But I soon became enraged by the hideous spectacle that met my eyes. Several hundred 
representatives were there to discuss a problem of great economical importance and 
each representative had the right to have his say. That experience of a day was enough 
to supply me with food for thought during several weeks afterwards. 

The intellectual level of the debate was quite low. Sometimes the debaters did not make 
themselves intelligible at all. Several of those present did not speak German but only 
their Slav vernaculars or dialects. Thus I had the opportunity of hearing with my own 
ears what I had hitherto been acquainted with only through reading the newspapers. A 
turbulent mass of people, all gesticulating and bawling against one another, with a 
pathetic old man shaking his bell and making frantic efforts to call the House to a sense 
of its dignity by friendly appeals, exhortations, and grave warnings. I could not refrain 
from laughing. 

Several weeks late I paid a second visit. This time the House presented an entirely 
different picture, so much so that one could hardly recognise it as the same place. The 
hall was practically empty. They were sleeping in the other rooms below. Only a few 
Deputies were in their places, yawning in each other's faces. One was speechifying. A 
deputy speaker was in the chair. When he looked round it was quite plain that he was 
bored. 

Then I began to reflect seriously on the whole thing. I went to the Parliament whenever I 
had any time to spare and watched the spectacle silently but attentively.... A year of such 
quiet observation was sufficient to transform or completely destroy my former 
convictions as to the character of the parliamentary institution. 

Democracy, as practised in Western Europe today, is the fore-runner of Marxism. In 
fact, the latter would not be conceivable without the former. Democracy is the breeding 



ground in which the bacilli of the Marxist world pest can grow and spread. By the 
introduction of parliamentarianism democracy produced an abortion of filth and fire, the 
creative fire of which, however, seems to have died out." - Mein Kampf 

"The devastating influence of this parliamentary institution might not easily be 
recognised by those who read the Jewish Press unless the reader has learned to think 
independently and examine the facts for himself. The institution is primarily 
responsible for the crowded inrush of mediocre people into the field of politics. 
Confronted with such a phenomenon, a man who is endowed with real qualities of 
leadership will be tempted to refrain from taking part in political life ; because under 
these circumstances the situation does not call for a man who has the capacity for 
constructive statesmanship but rather for a man who is capable of bargaining for the 
favour of the majority. Thus the (parliamentary) situation will appeal to the small minds 
and will attract them accordingly." - Mein Kampf 

"It is always a majority of ignorant and incompetent people who decide on each 
measure. It is out of the question to think that the same people are fitted to decide on 
transport questions as well as, let us say, questions on foreign policy, unless each of 
them be a universal genius. 

Here we are scarcely ever dealing with real brains but only with dilettante who are as 
narrow-minded as they are conceited and arrogant, intellectual demi-mondes of the 
worst kind. This is why these honourable gentlemen show such astonishing levity when 
discussing and deciding on matters that would demand the most painstaking 
consideration even from great minds." 

Nobody will have the courage to say : "Gentlemen, I am afraid we know nothing about 
what we are talking about. I have no competency in the matter at all.." For such 
outspoken honesty would not be understood. The person who made the declaration 
would be deemed an honourable ass who ought not be allowed in to spoil the game." 

It is not the aim of our modern parliamentary democratic system to bring together an 
assembly of intelligent and well-informed deputies. Not at all. The aim rather is to 
bring together a group of nonentities who are dependant on others for their views and 
who can all the more easily be led, the narrower the mental outlook of each individual. 

In practice no actual responsibility remains. The parliamentary institution attracts 
people of the badger type, who do not like the open light. No upright man, who is ready 
to accept personal responsibility for his acts, will be attracted to such an institution. 
That is why this brand of democracy has become a tool in the hands of that race which, 
because of its inner purposes it wishes to attain, must shun the open light, as it always 
has done and always will do." - Mein Kampf 

"If the principle of so-called 'public discussion' could in fact remove abuses, then we 
ought to be living in a Paradise, for never was there more discussion than in our 
parliamentary period. But all this talk produced not improvement, but only an increase 
in confusion, insecurity and ineffectiveness." - Weimar, 3rd July 1936 

"The parliament passes some acts or decree which may have the most devastating 
consequences, yet nobody bears the responsibility for it. Nobody can be called to 
account." - Mein Kampf 



LACK OF PARLIAMENTARY RESPONSIBILITY 


"Must not every genuine leader renounce the idea of degrading himself to the level of 
the political jobber. And, on the other hand, does not every jobber feel the itch to 'play 
politics' seeing that the final responsibility will never rest with him personally but with 
an anonymous mass which can never be called to account for their deeds? Must not our 
parliamentary principle of government by numerical majority necessarily lead to the 
destruction of the principle of leadership?" - Mein Kampf 

"The parliamentary principle of decision by majorities only appears during quite short 
periods of history, and those are always periods of decadence in nations and States." - 
Adolf Hitler 

"The spectacled theorist would have given his life for his doctrine rather than for his 
people. Because man has made laws he subsequently comes to think that he exists for 
the sake of laws." - Mein Kampf 

THE ABUSE OF LAW TO SILENCE THE GOVERNMENT S OPPOSITION 
Just as in Britain today the Race Relations Act has been brought into being, not to 
provide the citizen's equality before the law which is in place already, but to 
silence opposition to the government's immigration policy and its consequences, in 
the Germany of the 1920s there existed the 'Law for the Protection of the 
Republic.' 

"We know that the so-called 'Law for the Protection of the Republic' which comes from 
Berlin is nothing else than a means for reducing all criticism to silence. We know too 
that no effort will be spared so that the last outstanding personalities -those who within 
Germany foresee the coming of disaster - shall in good time - disappear." - Hitler's 
Speeches, Baynes. Vol.l. The Institute of International Affairs. 1942 

The freedom of the individual is an illusion. It is the freedom of the caged bird to 
go wherever it wants. The individual may go to work, socialise; do or say anything 
except seriously question parliament's restrictions on freedom of dictates : "It is of 

course true that one can walk down the street, the individual can go into his workshop 
and he can go out again : here and there he can go to a meeting. In a word, the 
individual has liberties. But in general, if he is wise, he will keep his mouth shut. For if 
in former times he will take extraordinary care that no one should let slip anything 
which could be treated as lese-majeste, now a man must take much greater care that he 
doesn't say anything which might represent an insult to the majesty of a member of 
parliament." 

- Hitler's Speeches, Baynes. Vol.l. The Institute of International 

Affairs. 1942 

POLITICAL FENCE-SITTERS 

In the Germany of the 1920s the population was cowed and intimidated into 
staying silent or withholding their support from the NSDAP by the Press, 
organised Jewry and leftist mob. "Just as the Jew could once incite the mob of 



Jerusalem against Christ, so today he must succeed in inciting folk who have been 
duped into madness to attack those who, God's truth! seek to deal with this people in 
utter honesty and sincerity. And so he begins to intimidate them, and he knows that this 
pressure in itself is enough to shut the mouths of hundreds, yes, of thousands. For they 
think, if only I hold my tongue, then I shall be safe in case they come into power. No, 
my friend. The only difference will be that I may hang perhaps still talking, while you 
will hang - in silence. Here too, Russia can give us countless examples and with us will 
be the same story.” 

- Hitler's Speeches, Baynes. Vol.l. The Institute of International 

Affairs. 1942 

"Only when it becomes clear that the old party is likely to have a bad time of it at the 
forthcoming elections - only then will these models of manly virtue set out in search of a 
new party or a new policy which may have better electoral prospects ; but of course this 
change of position will be accompanied by a veritable deluge of high moral motives to 
justify it. And thus it always happens that when an existing Party has incurred such 
general disfavour among the public that it is threatened with the probability of a 
crushing defeat, then a great migration commences. The parliamentary rats leaving the 
Party ship." - Mein Kampf 

POLITICAL MATURITY 

Hitler believed that in a truly accountable and representative system, unlike the 
rotating dictatorship of parliamentary democracies, these years in a man's 
development provided sufficient experience to form a 'structure of personal 
thought' - Weltanshauung. Failing which he would run two risks. He may find 
that his original stand was wrong. To abandon it and appear inconsistent or to 
persist in it to save face; the effect of which we find today as parliamentarians 
defend the indefensible to keep their jobs. 

"Generally speaking a man should not publicly take part in politics before he has 
reached the age of thirty, though, of course, exception must be made in the case of those 
who are naturally gifted with extraordinary political abilities. . . . Until he reaches his 
thirtieth year or thereabouts a man's mental development will mostly consist in 
acquiring and sifting such knowledge as is necessary for the groundwork of a general 
platform from which he can examine the different political problems that arise from day 
to day and be able to adopt a definite attitude towards each .... if a man should enter 
political life without this equipment, he will run a twofold risk. He may find that the 
stand which he originally took in regard to some essential question was wrong. He will 
now have to abandon his former position or else stick to it against his better knowledge 
after his reason and conviction have already proved it untenable. If he adopt the former 
line he will appear inconsistent and will have no right to expect his followers to remain 
as loyal to his leadership as they were before " - Mein Kampf 

DEMOCRACY OF THE PEOPLE 

"... there is no one who can with greater right speak in the name of his people 
than I." Reichstag, 30th January 1937 


Hitler was critical of the promotion of class division by politicians, declaring that 
the true expression of democracy was the reflection of the entire people's 
aspirations. "There can be no better proof of this than the class warfare slogan: 'The 
dictatorship of the bourgeoisie must make way for the dictatorship of the proletariat'. 
That is simply a question of change from the dictatorship of one class to that of another, 
while we wish for the dictatorship of the nation, that is, the dictatorship of the entire 
community." - Speech to the Labour Front, Berlin, 10th May 1933 

Hitler was aware that the parliamentary system of government - after election day 
- provided opportunity for up to five years of virtual dictatorship; the rejection of 
the peoples will and the denial of the peoples voice on major issues effecting them: 

"While we deny the parliamentary-democratic principle, we champion most definitely 
the right of the people itself to determine its own life. In the parliamentary system we 
do not recognise any true expression of the will of the people, but we see in it a 
perversion, if not a violation, of that will." 

Proclamation, Parteitag, Nuremberg, 1st September 1933 

"This parliamentary Democracy of ruin has at all times destroyed peoples and States. It 
does not express the will of the people: it serves only the ambition and interests of 
conscienceless corrupters of the people, be they small or great. It does not breed men 
who welcome responsibility, but frightened hares or artful tricksters. It kills every 
personality, it stifles every initiative, it cripples every achievement." - Hamburg, 17th 
August, 1934 

"From Anglo-Saxon countries I often hear expressions of regret that Germany should 
have departed from just those principles of democratic government which such 
countries consider as special sacred. This opinion is based upon a serious error. 
Germany too has a democratic constitution. The present German Government of the 
National Socialist State has also been elected by the people and feels itself in the same 
way responsible to the people." 

Hitler went on to point out that in less democratic countries a Prime Minister 
could be elected on the swing of a few thousand votes and invariably be elected by 
a minority of electors. Not so in National Socialist Germany where: "The German 
people had elected a single deputy as its representative with 38 million votes." 

The Fuhrer described his dependence upon the people's wisdom to reach decisions: 

"As Fuhrer and Chancellor of the nation and as head of the Government of the Reich, 
unfortunately I have often to make decisions which are of themselves hard enough to 
decide upon and which are all the more difficult because it is not possible for me to 
share the responsibility and even less to shift it to someone else's shoulders. And it is 
for this reason that I desire at least to be able to give to the nation itself an insight into 
the ideas on which I act and thus make it easier for them to understand the decisions and 
measures which arise from these ideas. But the more difficult the decisions, so much 
the more I see as a German should like to make sure that my actions are completely 
uninfluenced by instincts of weakness or fear and to bring them into harmony with my 



conscience towards my God and the nation which He permits me to serve." - Reichstag, 
21st May 1935 

"Thus, my fellow-countrymen, when I entered political life it was with the burning vow 
in my heart that I would root out from Germany this world of the political parties - that I 
would set in its place a community of the German people." - Hamburg, 17th August, 
1934 

Speaking on the success of the referendum (plebiscite) of November 1933 : We are 

convinced that such success will be ours if we continue to fight and struggle for this 
people, and we are therefore also convinced that we must always continue from time to 
time to appeal to the people. We wish therefore in the future, too, at least once in every 
year to give to the people the possibility of expressing its judgement upon us ... if the 
judgement is unfavourable, then no one must say, 'The people is at fault': rather he must 
know that the Movement has grown indolent, the Movement is no longer fighting on 
right lines, it has lost contact with the people and must learn its lesson afresh of going to 
the people once more. Therein lies our strength. No politician can face the world with 
more than he has behind him." 

"With this appeal to the electors I wish to show to the other Governments that true 
democracy is with us and that we have no hesitation in appealing to the people. I do not 
believe that other Governments if they had been given power for a four years' term 
would be prepared to appeal once more to the people within seven months." - Kiel, 6th 
November 1933 

"If you are elected" (to the Presidency), asked Mr. D. Sefton Delmer 
(correspondent - Daily Express) will you continue the system of government by 
emergency decrees?" The German Leader replied: "No. I consider that 
government by emergency decree is a crime against democracy. It is absolutely illegal. 
Emergency decrees are only justified in rare emergencies." When asked what he 
would regard as a rare emergency the answer came quick as a flash: "A Polish 
invasion of Germany." - Daily Express, 12th March 1932 

"No democratic Government in the world can submit itself to a popular vote in greater 
trust and with greater confidence than can the National Socialist Government of 
Germany." - Proclamation, 30th January 1935 

"A movement which has great ends to achieve must carefully guard against the danger 
of losing contact with the masses of the people. Every problem encountered must be 
examined from this viewpoint first of all and the decision to be made must always be in 
harmony with this principle." 

- Mein Kampf 

"He who seeks loyalty and faith, confidence, fanaticism, and resolute devotion must 
seek them where such virtues are still to be found. And they are to be found only in the 
great mass of the people." 

- Munich, 24th February 1934 



THE REVOLUTION OF THE COMMON MAN 

“After the World War I resolved to build up Germany once again on the strength of the 
masses, on the millions of the German people. I went back to those from whom I had 
come. I went back to my comrades - straight back to my people. 

It was there that I began to teach, there that at that time I began to win men to a new 
idea, the idea of an eternal national and social ideal - to subordinate one’s own interests 
to the necessary interests of the whole society.” - Hitler’s first speech in re-unified 
Germany-Austria, Graz 3 ld April 1938. 

NATIONAL SOCIALISM (NOT FOR EXPORT) 

Concerned that the success of the National Socialist system was subverting the less 
successful Capitalist ‘democracies’ the Times (1 st April 1938) charged Hitler’s Germany 
with exporting their superior system: “We are reproached with carrying on propaganda. 
No, National Socialism is to us such a dear, holy German cause that we feel inclined to 
pray that God may keep it primarily for our own people. Let the other nations foster 
their own ideals.” - Frankfurt, 31 st March 1938 

NATIONAL SOCIALIST FORM OF PURE DEMOCRACY 
"As a contrast to this kind of democracy we have the German democracy, which is 

a true democracy ..." Adolf Hitler 

The National Socialist principle of democracy called for a 'Party of the People' in 
which its members were drawn from those qualified for political life, with the 
inner conviction to devote themselves to politics, to harvest the aspirations of the 
constituents and to take responsibility for decisions made. Referendum was used to 
gauge opinion on matters of national importance. 

"... it is not for my own sake that I asked for this national vote, but for the sake of the 
German people. It is not I who require such a vote of confidence to strengthen and 
sustain me; it is the German people who require a Chancellor supported by such 
confidence before the world. For I am nothing my fellow-countrymen, but your 
mouthpiece, and do not wish to be anything but the representative of your life and the 
defender of your vital interests." - Adolf Hitler speech, Hamburg on 17 August 1934, 
referring to the vote on the Succession Law of 19 August. 1934 

"As a contrast to this kind of democracy we have the German democracy, which is a 
true democracy; for here a leader is freely chosen and is obliged to accept full 
responsibility for all his actions and omissions. The problems to be dealt with are not 
put to the vote of the majority; but they are decided upon by the individual, and as a 
guarantee of responsibility for those decisions he pledges all he has in the world and 
even his life.” - Mein Kampf 

Leadership: "Once on the move, the mass of a people does not need parliament it needs 
leadership. The day is coming ever closer when the masses must have decent 
government. The people will be then glad if the parliamentary cesspool is blown sky- 
high. We have always been sounding the trumpet for battle against the whole 


parliamentary rabble, against the system, and we do not intend to stop halfway.” - 
Chicago Tribune, February, 15th 1931 

"The result of the revolution in Germany has been to establish a democracy in the best 
sense of the word. We are steering towards an order of things guaranteeing a process of 
a natural and reasonable selection in the domain of political leadership, thanks to which 
that leadership will be entrusted to the most competent, irrespective of their descent, 
name or fortune. The memorable words of the great Corsican that every soldier carries a 
Field Marshal's baton in his knapsack, will find its political complement in Germany." - 
Adolf Hitler 

"What the German nation has ardently desired for centuries is henceforth a reality; one 
single, fraternally united people, liberated from the mutual prejudices and hindrances of 
past times." - Adolf Hitler 

"A National Socialist leader will make his decision and then afterwards, if need be, he 
will declare: 'People, we have made this decision conscientiously and on the best 
information we could get. Please, now, give us your judgement' And we know then 
quite well what the judgement of the people will be. The more one appeals to the 
people through elections to give their judgement only on questions of the greatest import 
and those which move it to the depths - the more surely a people is conscious that it 
really has at its head a resolute leadership - the more decisively will it support that 
leadership. . . . the Party is the people." - Weimar, 3rd July 1936 

"They have not understood that the result of the revolution in Germany has been to 
establish a democracy in the best sense of the word. We are steering towards an order of 
things guaranteeing a process of natural and reasonable selection in the domain of 
political leadership, thanks to which that leadership will be entrusted to the most 
competent, irrespective of their descent, name or fortune." 

- Adolf 
Hitler 

"I myself was and still am a child of the people. It was not for the capitalists that I 
undertook this struggle; it was for the German working man that I took my stand." - 
Adolf Hitler 

Asked why National Socialism continued to deliver speeches after it had won 
power, Hitler explained that everything they had achieved had been through the 
will and outlook of the people and with the gratitude and understanding of the 
overwhelming majority of the people. "The interaction between leaders and people 
had secured that, particularly in times of anxiety, National Socialists could appeal to the 
people in order to receive from it their new marching orders ...."- Speech at the 
dedication of the Deutschlandhalle in Berlin, 29th November, 1935 

To this particular speech The Times (London) on 30th November 1935. added: 

"There was no one to succeed them. No one had the necessary popularity. He himself 
had become popular because he had the courage to be unpopular." And on the Jewish 
inspired trade boycotts against Germany : "Distress would not conquer Germany; the 
National Socialist Movement would conquer distress. They would solve the raw 



material difficulty, but it would be easier to do that if the rest of the world were not 
mad." 

" . . . responsibility must always be taken by a single man. There is no decision 
possible for which one man does not assume responsibility. They (the bourgeois 
parties) have indeed carried out the orders which they received from the masses, but for 
these orders they have never had the courage to accept responsibility. How should these 
millions with their secret decision - made, if possible, with sealed voting-paper dropped 
into an urn -how should they bear the responsibility? Consider the immorality of this 
principle." - Weimar, 3rd July 1936 

DEMOCRACY (HITLER’S RIGHT TO NATIONAL LEADERSHIP) 

“We had to go through a hundred election fights and laboriously win the support of the 
German people. 

When the late President of the Reich at last called me to power, I was Leader of by far 
the strongest party in the Reich. Since then I have time and again sought to gve to the 
German people an opportunity of confirming the legality of my existence and of my 
actions: and that confirmation was granted me.” - Hitler’s Proclamation to Germany 
12 th March 1938 

“I stand in the midst of my people; but where stood the men who as champions of the 
democratic cause and of democratic ideas ill-treated and oppressed the people of 
Austria? For many years past they have not dared to appeal to the people. I do not 
believe that there is any State whose Government is so securely founded as our own but 
which yet has so often taken its way to the people and allowed the people to confirm its 
mandate.” - Konisberg 25 th March 1938 

COALITION 

When asked after his refusal to enter the von Papen Cabinet whether a bird in the 
hand was not worth two in the bush Hitler replied: "I will never sell my Movement 
for a mess of pottage. There can be no compromise. You cannot expect heroism from a 
people if the leaders make so-called bearable compromises. My lieutenants always 
forgive me if I make a mistake. They would never do so if I renounced my principles." - 
The Manchester Guardian, 17 August 1932 

LEADERSHIP 

Hitler's thoughts on leadership over parliament especially during times of national 
crisis, preceded Britain's wartime un-elected establishment and coalition 
government. 

"As early as 1921 I wrote in the Volkischer Beobachter that, in order to rouse the 
masses, we must preach battle. Once on the move, a mass of a people does not need a 
parliament; it needs leadership. The day is coming ever closer when the masses must 
have decent government. The people will then be glad if the parliamentary cesspool is 
blown sky-high. We have always been sounding the trumpet for battle against the 
whole parliamentary rabble, against the system, and w do not intend to stop halfway. 



We must create an entirely new situation, so that we can reconstruct the press, the 
schools, the building industry and our political as well as our military might. Just as this 
reawakening requires a new press, so does our country require a new form of 
architecture. If we do not succeed in creating something new, all that present-day 
Germany will have to bequeath to coming generations will be five or six 
unprepossessing skyscrapers and thousands of department stores and hotels, all intended 
to fill Jewish moneybags. 

One cannot build a house without first levelling the ground and laying the foundations. 
We must give re-awakened Germany a program which will appeal both to the heart and 
to the mind. It is this long range program, Germany's role on the continent, which will b 
e more inspiring to the people, the intelligentsia and the officers than all so-called social 
legislation and economic planning. 

First we must become masters of our own house and then we can plant our garden with 
corn and vegetables. We no longer intend to be drawers of water and shedders of blood 
for other people." 

- Chicago Tribune, February 

15th 1931 

THE SPOKEN WORD MORE POWERFUL THAN THE PEN 

"The knights of the pen and the literary snobs of today should be made to realise that the 
great transformations which have taken place in this world were never conducted by a 
goose quill. The force which has ever and always set in motion great historical 
avalanches of religious and political movements is the magic power of the spoken word. 
The broad masses of a population are more amenable to the appeal of rhetoric than to 
any other force. All great movements are popular movements. They are the volcanic 
eruptions of human passions and emotions, stirred into activity by the ruthless Goddess 
of Distress or by the torch of the spoken word cast into the midst of the people. In no 
case have great movements been set afoot by the syrupy effusions of aesthetic 
litterateurs and drawing-room heroes." 

The doom of a nation can be averted only by a storm of glowing passion ; but only who 
are passionate themselves can arouse passion in others. It is only through the capacity 
for passionate feeling that chosen leaders can wild the power of the word, which like 
hammer blows, will open the doors to the hearts of the people." - Mein Kampf 

SOCIALISM : ITS ARYAN ORIGINS 

"For Socialism in itself is anything but an international creation. As a noble conception 
it has indeed grown up exclusively in Aryan hearts; it owes its intellectual glories only 
to Aryan brains. It is entirely alien to the Jew. The Jew will always be the born 
champion of private capital in its worst form, that of unchecked exploitation. 

The master-stroke of the Jew was to claim the leadership of the fourth estate (the 
working class masses sucked into the cities by 19th century industrialisation); he 
founded the movement both of the Social Democrats and the Communists. His policy 
was twofold: he had his 'apostles' in both political camps. Amongst the parties of the 
Right he encouraged those features which are most repugnant to the people - the passion 
for money, unscrupulous methods in trade which were employed so ruthlessly as to give 
rise to the proverb 'Business too, marches over corpses'. 


Hitler goes on to describe how the Jews attacked the parties of the Right through 
the blood and 'bastardised' the families of the upper classes until the establishment 
became alien to its own people and finally mirrored the character and aspirations 
of the Jew. "... and this gave the Jew his opportunity with the parties of the Left. 
Here he played the part of the common demagogue. Two means enabled him to drive 
away in disgust the whole intelligentsia of the nation from the leadership of the workers 
. . . through an ingenious exploitation of the Press the Jew was able to influence the 
masses that he persuaded those of the Right that the faults of those of the Left were the 
faults of the German workman, and similarly he made it appear to those of the Left that 
the faults of the Right were simply the faults of the so-called 'bourgeois', and neither 
side noticed that on both sides the faults were the result of a scheme planned by alien, 
devilish agitators. And only so is it possible to explain how this dirty-joke of world 
history could come to be that Stock Exchange Jews should become the leaders of a 
Workers' Movement. It is a gigantic fraud: world history has seldom seen its like." - 
Hitler's Speeches, Baynes. Vol.l. The Institute of International Affairs. 1942 

"Is it not wonderful for every humble mother amongst our people and for every father to 
know that perhaps their boy may become anything - God knows what! - if only he has 
the necessary talent? That is Socialism at its highest, because then is Socialism most 
reasonable, most sensible. And then it benefits us all." - Berlin, 1st May 1937 

THE PUTSCH OF 8th / 9th, NOVEMBER, 1923 
'Germany must live, even though we die.' - Adolf Hitler 

November 1923, saw the German revolt against a French initiative to seize control 
of Bavaria and to force its secession from Germany proper. Hitler made the 
decision to respond decisively. "At that time our opponents intended to raise a 
revolution about the 12th November, and a Bavarian revolution at that... As soon as I 
heard this, I knew that the hour of Germany's destiny was approaching. Then I formed 
the resolution to strike four days before our opponents and so seize for our side the 
initiative." - Putsch Anniversary Speech, 1937 

"The danger was that others should act first: men were saying, 'North Germany is 
Bolshevist anyway: we must therefore separate from the North. We must leave the 
North to bum itself out. Only after that can we join up with the North again. They 
knew quite well how to cut themselves off from the North, but they troubled themselves 
very little to consider how they should come together again. And for that reason we 
were determined to act first. 

We did not want at the time a coup d'etat ; but on one point my mind was made up: if the 
other side went so far that I knew that they would strike, then I would let fly four days 
before. If anyone says to me, 'Yes, but the consequences!' then I answer, 'The 
consequences could not be worse than they would have been if we had not acted.' - 
Putsch Anniversary Celebration, Munich, 1934 

"Since the Revolution of November 1918 had broken the laws which were formerly in 
force, it could not be expected of us that we should regard the Revolution as a legal 
constitution ... So in November 1923 we marched, filled with the faith that we should 


succeed in overthrowing those who were responsible for November, 1918, in 
annihilating the men who were responsible for the untold misfortune of our people." - 
Munich, 8th November 1935 

"The Government of that day had come to power through violence and it was through 
violence that it had to be destroyed." - Volkischer Beobachter, 10th November 1936 

"We are met in a Celebration in memory of the day on which for the first time we 
sought to change the face of Germany. The result of that attempt was sixteen dead, 
more than a hundred severely or slightly wounded, and a further result was the apparent 
annihilation of our Movement. 

If year by year we have celebrated this day - in the time of persecution not always in the 
same form - if we are determined in the future and for all time to make this a Holy Day 
for the German nation, that is not because on it sixteen men died. Daily thousands die 
and wars destroy many more in an hour. It is because these sixteen men with a true faith 
in their hearts suffered a death which helped to raise up once more the German people. 
These sixteen men even before that had stood their ground, they had been in the Great 
War, many of them had been wounded once, several times. They had already often 
looked death straight in the eyes. But in war it was different! Then the whole German 
people in arms faced its foes, while on the 9th November, 1923 only a small band arose 
against the annihilators of the Fatherland and the destroyers of the nation, against those 
who had sold and betrayed our people. 

... it was a bold decision just because it meant that with the means one had - and they 
were small enough - one must have the courage to assume power. Yet this decision was 
necessary: it could not be escaped. No other action was possible. Someone in this hour 
had to oppose treason, had to set these traitors the national watchword. It mattered not 
in the last resort who did it. We did it; I made the venture. - Munich, 8th November 
1935. Celebration of the 12th Anniversary of the November 1923 Putsch 


"Could our dead of the 9th November rise again they would weep for joy that now the 
German army and the awakened German people have found their way to unity . . . 
because today we are binding into one the whole strength of the nation we can now give 
to the dead their eternal rest." - Munich, 8th November 1935. Celebration of the 12th 
Anniversary of the November 1923 Putsch 

"It was at this time that the Movement wrote upon its standards the words: 'Germany 
must live, even though we die.' The motto of the others was the exact opposite: 'We 
shall live, even though Germany is destroyed." - Munich, 8th November 1935. 
Celebration of the 12th Anniversary of the November 1923 Putsch 

"That the attempt failed was perhaps the greatest good fortune of my life and the 
greatest good fortune for the German nation . . . the splitting up of Germany was finally 
prevented, for in order to get rid of us the help of the North of Germany was needed, and 
thus separation was stopped. And yet, we could not be silenced: as though by an 
explosion our ideas were hurled over the whole of Germany and thus my decision was 
justified." - In the Putsch anniversary speech of 1937 



Hitler's statement at the Putsch Trial "The (National Socialist) army which we have 
formed grows from day to day; from hour to hour it grows more rapidly. Even now I 
have the proud hope that one day the hour is coming when these untrained bands will 
become battalions, when the battalions will become regiments and the regiments 
divisions, when the old cockade will be raised from the mire, when the old banners will 
once again wave before us: and then reconciliation will come in that eternal last Court 
of Judgement - The Court of God - before which we are ready to take our stand. Then 
from our bones, from our graves will sound the voice of that tribunal which alone has 
the right to sit in judgement upon us. 

For, gentlemen, it is not you who pronounce judgement upon us, it is the Eternal Court 
of History which will make its pronouncement upon the charge which is brought against 
us. 

The judgement that you will pass, that I know. But that Court will not ask of us 'Have 
you committed high treason or not/' That Court will judge us . . . who as Germans have 
wished the best for their people and their Fatherland, who wished to fight and to die. 
You may declare us guilty a thousand timers, but the Goddess who presides over the 
Eternal Court of History will with a smile tear in pieces the charge of the Public 
Prosecutor and the judgement of the court, for she declares us guiltless.' — Reden (1933 
ed. p.122. Hitler's Speeches, Baynes. Vol.l. The Institute of International Affairs. 1942 

On the Putsch trials: "I was myself in prison when these trials began to run their 
course. And I had only one anxiety - that under the pressure of arrest, questioning, and 
the whole method of conducting the trial one or the other might perhaps give way, might 
seek to save himself, and might plead 'I have been guiltless: I have acted under 
compulsion. I could not help myself.' 

My heart overflowed with joy when I saw the first reports of those trials, when I read in 
the Munich Post, 'The men of the Shock Troops are just as insolent and shameless as 
was their lord and master.' Then I knew that Germany was not lost! That spirit would 
gnaw its way through anything. Such a spirit they can no longer destroy. And out of 
these Shock-Troop men and these SA. men were later formed the greatest organisations 
of the German Movement - the SA. and the SS. And the spirit has remained: it has ever 
and again proved itself ten thousand - a hundred thousand-fold.' 

That is what we owe to these men who died: the example which they gave in Germany 
in the darkest hour.” - Munich, 8th November, 1935. Celebration of the 12th 
Anniversary of the November 1923 Putsch 

The failed November Putsch decided Hitler to use legal rather than illegal means 
of coming to power. "... If you will read again my final speech in the great 
prosecution you will be in a position to say that as a prophet I foreshadowed the only 
possible way for progress in the future, that I have publicly declared what that way was 
and have resolutely followed it for nine years. I could thus follow it only because this 
action happened first, because previously men had died for this way. . . In very truth, the 
cerecloths of these sixteen dead have celebrated a resurrection which is unique in the 
history of the world. They have become the banners of their people's freedom. The 
miracle is that from their sacrifice arose this mighty unity of Germany, this victory of a 
Movement, an idea, and to this the whole people is pledged. And all that, the whole of 



our debt, is bound up with these men. For all those who later sacrificed their blood were 
inspired by the sacrifice of these men." - Munich, 8th November 1935. Celebration of 
the 12th Anniversary of the November 1923 Putsch 

ATROCITIES 

"And during these eight months the world has abused us: they complain of atrocities; the 
greatest atrocities in Germany were wrought in the name of the Treaty of Versailles: the 
Treaty was the cause of some 20,000 suicides annually, 20,000 decent men who had 
been robbed by the Treaty of their prospects, of their means of livelihood. . . . When has 
there ever been a revolution so free of atrocities as ours?" - Sportpalast, Berlin. 24th 
October 1933 

"... If these foreign countries and in particular certain democratic statesmen champion 
with such energy the cause of individual German priests, that action can have only a 
political ground, fort these same statesmen were completely silent when in Russia 
hundreds of thousands of priests were massacred or burnt; they are completely silent 
when in Spain tens of thousands of priests and nuns are slaughtered in a bestial way or 
are even, while still living, thrown into the flames. They could not - they cannot - deny 
these facts, but they are silent; they say not a word ..." - Reichstag, 30th January 1939. 

THE SIXTEEN MARTYRS 

They now pass into the German immortality under God's free heaven. For us 
they are not dead: these temples are no crypts: they are the eternal guard post. 

Here they stand for Germany and keep guard over our people." 

- Adolf Hitler, 11th November 1935 

When the bodies of the sixteen martyrs of the November Putsch were removed to 
the open-air Memorial in Munich, Hitler said that long ago he had determined that 
if he ever came to power he would take these comrades from the cemeteries and 
honour them: "That determination I have now fulfilled. They now pass into the 
German immortality. In their own time they could not yet see the Reich of today: they 
could only dimly envisage it. Fate has forbidden to them to experience this Reich. But 
though they might neither see nor experience this Reich, we will take care that the Reich 
will see them. And therefore we have laid them in no crypt and beneath no dome. No, 
just as they once marched, their breast open to the air, so now shall they lie in wind and 
weather, in storm and snow, under God's free heaven, a peipetual reminder for the 
German nation. For us they are not dead: these temples are no crypts: they are the 
eternal guard post. Here they stand for Germany and keep guard over our people. Here 
they lie as true witnesses to our Movement." - Volkischer Beobachter, 11th November 
1935 

IN LEGAL PURSUIT OF VICTORY 

Following the failure of the 8/9th, November Putsch Hitler determined on 
achieving power through legal means and in the meantime creating a social and 
political system within the present system that would be in place on the morning of 
victory. Returning to his rashness in assuming preparedness for power in 1923 he 
said: "I have never left any doubt that I demanded from the SA. men the strict 
observance of the path of legality, and if this veto on illegality was anywhere violated, 


then the leaders or sub-leaders concerned have always been brought to account. Acts of 
violence have never been contemplated by our Party, nor has the individual SA. man 
ever wished for them . . . wherever it was established that SA. men carried arms I have 
intervened and where necessary, if they were not ready to accept my ruling, I have 
dismissed both leaders and SA. men ... in an organisation of some 100,000 men 
naturally some of them may have weapons in defence of their homes. But if the State 
shuts its eyes to that, there is no reason for me to notice it.” 

- Hitler giving evidence in the trial of four National Socialists in Berlin, May, 1931. 
F.Z., 9 May 1931 

"For we have not seized possession of power as usurpers, as did the men of November, 
1918; we have received power constitutionally and legally." - Reichstag, 13th July 1934 

Contrasting his comparatively peaceful coming to power with the notoriously 
blood drenched Spanish revolution the Fuhrer added: "We have conquered our State 
without, I believe, the breaking of a window-pane. That was possible only thanks to 
thorough preparation and the building up of the Party . . . " - Cf. 10. The Model 
Revolution. Munich, Putsch Anniversary, 1936 

"We stand absolutely hard as granite on the ground of legality." - Das Deutsche Reich 
von 1918 bis heute, Jahrgang 1931, Berlin, p.157 

"When I resume active work it will be necessary to pursue a new policy. Instead of 
working to achieve power by an armed coup, we shall have to hold our noses and enter 
the Reichstag against the Catholic and Marxist deputies. If out-voting them takes longer 
than out-shooting them, at least the results will be guaranteed by their own Constitution! 
Any lawful process is slow. But already, as you know, we have thirty-two Reichstag 
deputies under this new programme and are the second largest Party in the Bavarian 
Landtag-Diet. Sooner or later we shall have a majority - and after that, Germany. I am 
convinced that this is our best line of action, now that conditions in the country have 
changed so radically." - Kurt Ludecke reporting a conversation with Hitler in Landsberg 
Fortress after the failure of the Putsch 

"Hardly ever has a revolution on such a large scale been carried out in so disciplined and 
bloodless a fashion as this renaissance of the German people in the last few weeks." - 
Reichstag, 23rd March 1933 

"When has there ever been a revolution so free from excesses as ours? In the days when 
there was revolution in Germany there was greater order than in many countries where 
there was no revolution . . . Even if there were excesses, we could still stand comparison 
with the excesses of revolutions amongst other peoples. It is true we have to barricade 
the streets, but not because the people want to stone the Government, but because the 
people want to express to the Government its jubilation. I go any day amongst the 
people without a cordon of police. People can always know where I am and where I am 
going. I have not the least fear that the people will attack me: on the contrary my 
greatest anxiety is that perhaps a small child might be crushed before my motor. 



And if I compare the excesses of the French Revolution I can only say: We at least have 
established no guillotine, we have not created any Vendee in Germany. Even with the 
worst elements we have only kept them apart from the nation. Unfortunately the rest of 
the world declines to take them from us; we would so gladly put them at their disposal." 
- Sportpalast, Berlin, 24th October 1933 

"What was accomplished last year was so unheard of that it should constrain us to the 
profoundest humility. It shows that the Almighty has not deserted our people: He 
received it into His grace at the moment when it found itself again. And that it should 
never again lose itself, that must be our vow so long as we shall live and as long as the 
Lord gives us the strength to continue the battle." - Munich, 19th March 1934 

"When the Party took over power in Germany, after overthrowing the very formidable 
obstacles that had stood in its way, it did so without causing any damage whatsoever to 
property. I can say with a certain amount of pride that this was the first revolution in 
which not even a window pane was broken." - Reichstag, 30th January 1934 

"I was a soldier for more than four years where more blood was shed than ever before 
throughout human history. I never lost my nerve, no matter what the situation was and 
no matter what sights I had to face. The same holds good for my Party colleagues. But 
we did not consider it as part of the programme of the National Socialist Revolution to 
destroy human life or material goods, but rather to build up a new and a better life." - 
Reichstag, 30th January 1934 


LANDSBERG PRISON 

"Whenever freedom is desecrated the best men meet in prison." 

- Adolf Hitler, Landsberg Prison. June, 15th, 1924 

"This will and the faith remained the same even when we sat within prison walls. I can 
tell my opponents that those thirteen months gave me time for consideration. What they 
have experienced in the last two years was born then in Landsberg." - Munich, 8th 
November, 1935. Celebration of the 12th Anniversary of the November 1923 Putsch 

"We are now met by the question: Do we wish to restore Germany to freedom and 
power? If 'yes' then the first thing to do is to rescue it from him who is ruining our 
country. Admittedly it is a hard fight that must be fought here. We National Socialists 
on this point occupy an extreme position: but we know only one people: it is for that 
people we fight and that is our own people ... we want to stir up a storm. Men must not 
sleep: they ought to know that a thunderstorm is coming up. We want to prevent our 
Germany from suffering, as Another did, the death upon the Cross." - Munich. 20th 
April 1923. Hitler's Speeches, Baynes. Royal Institute of International Affairs 1942 

THE NATIONAL SOCIALIST REVOLUTION 
"... the banner with the white circle and the black swastika will be hoisted over 
the whole of Germany on the day which shall mark the liberation of our whole 
people ... This is the miracle which we have wrought." Adolf Hitler 


"A wonderful journey! History will record it as one of the most wonderful, one of the 
most remarkable happenings in the history of the world. It will seek for comparisons 
and analogies, but it will hardly find a parallel - that in so few years, from such a birth a 
whole people and its State could be conquered, 

This is the miracle which we have wrought. We are the fortunate ones, for we need not 
to learn the story from books: we were chosen by Fate to live this miracle in our own 
experience. We, my comrades in the fight, can be proud that history has called us to 
such a mission. 

Many years ago I said to my followers, 'And what after all shall the reward be?' My 
party-comrade, some time the day will come, and when it comes, then you will be 
specially proud of this arm-band: on it you will inscribe the year in which your 
illumination came, and you will be happy to be able to say, 'I was there since such and 
such a year.' That it is which unites us so closely, which welds us together. Posterity 
will one day learn the lesson, but we can say. 'We have been there; this is of our 
making.' 

Other generations - they learn of sagas of heroes, of the expeditions of heroes: we have 
lived this saga, we have marched together on the expedition. Whether the name of any 
one of us is preserved to posterity, that matters not. We are all bound together in one 
single mighty happening. That will remain. That will never more fade away in 
Germany, and from the sacrifices of the first fighters there will ever come anew the 
strength for sacrifice. Therefore our gratitude towards those who first sacrificed 
themselves is imperishable, because the Movement is imperishable, and because the 
Movement must ever remember to whom it owes everything." - Munich, 8th November 
1935. Celebration of the 12th Anniversary of the November 1923 Putsch 

"From the people I have grown up, in the people I have remained, to the people I return. 
My pride is that I know no statesmen in the world who with greater right than I can say 
that he is a representative of his people." - Hamburg, 20th March 1936. (Mainly an 
appeal that Germany should be given equal rights to other nations) 

"While each man who took the field in 1914 and wore the honourable field-grey 
uniform could be assured of general respect, he who had put on the arm-band of the 
National Socialist could be sure that he would be ridiculed and taunted by all. That 
arm-band then was no sign of honour: it rested with the wearer to make it that." - 
Munich, 8th November 1935. Celebration of the 12th Anniversary of the November, 
1923 Putsch 

"Every blow increased our defiance, every persecution increased our resolution, and that 
which did fall away proved in its falling away to be the greatest good fortune for the 
Movement." - Parteitag, Nuremberg, September 1933 

"But since we know that today the German people consists of one-third heroes, for 
another third of cowards, while the rest are traitors, as a condition of our freedom we 
would first cleanse our domestic life." - Adolf Hitler 

"We National Socialists are, God's Truth! perhaps the most loyal, the most devoted of 
all men to our German Fatherland. For three years we have waged a war, often against 
death and devil, but always only for our German Fatherland. We got so far that at the 



last, as crown of all our labours, we had to land in prison. But in spite of everything 
there is one thing we would say: We do make a distinction between a Government and 
the German Fatherland. When today here in the Landtag or in the Reichstag in Berlin 
some lousy half-Asiatic youth casts in our teeth the charge that we have no loyalty to the 
Reich, I beg you do not distress yourselves. 

We are convinced, and that in the last resort is our one great faith, that out of this 
bitterest distress the German Reich will rise again, but not as now, not as the offspring 
of wretchedness and misery - we shall possess once again a true German Reich of 
freedom and of honour, a real Fatherland of the whole German people and not an 
asylum for alien swindlers." - Hitler's Speeches, Baynes. Vol.l. The Institute of 
International Affairs. 1942 

"Where can any strength still be found within the German people? It is to be found, as 
always, in the great masses: their energy is slumbering and it awaits only the man who 
will summon it from its present slumber and will hurl it into the great battle for the 
destiny of the German race. 

The battle which alone can liberate Germany will be fought out with the forces which 
well up from the great masses. Without the help of the German working-man you will 
never regain a German Reich. Not in our political salons lies the strength of our nation, 
but in the hand, in the brain, and in the will of the great masses. Now as ever,: 
Liberation does not come down from above, it will spring up from below ... if we today 
make the highest demands upon everyone, that is only in order that we may give back to 
him and to his child the highest gift: Freedom and the respect of the rest of the world. " 
- Munich. 20th April 1923. Hitler's Speeches, Baynes. Royal Institute of International 
Affairs, 1942 

"I have won my successes simply because in the first place I endeavoured to see things 
as they are and not as one would like them to be; secondly, when once I had formed my 
own opinion I never allowed weaklings to talk me out of it; and thirdly because I was 
always determined in all circumstances to yield to a necessity when once it had been 
recognised." - Nuremberg Parteitag, September 1936 

"We National Socialists who for three years have done nothing but preach - abused and 
insulted by all, by some mocked and scorned, by others traduced and slandered - we 
cannot retreat! For us there is only one path which leads straight ahead. We know that 
the fight which now is blazing will be a hard struggle. It will not be fought out in the 
court of the Reich at Leipzig, it will not be fought out in a cabinet at Berlin, it will be 
fought out through those factors which in their hard reality have ever up to the present 
time made world-history." - Hitler's Speeches, Baynes. Vol.l. The Institute of 
International Affairs. 1942 

Germany at this period was in as state of near-revolution with Jewish-lead 
insurrectionists launching wave after wave of attacks, confident of bringing to the 
Reich the bloodbath they had already brought to Russia with its attendant mass 
arrests and executions. 



"On one point there should be no doubt; we shall not let the Jews slit our gullets and not 
defend ourselves. Today in Berlin they may already be arranging their festival-dinners 
with the Jewish hangmen of Soviet Russia - that they will never do here. They may 
today begin to set up the Cheka in Germany, they may give it free scope, we surrender to 
such a Jewish Commission never. We have the conviction, firm as a rock, that, if in this 
State seven million men are determined to stand by their 'No' to the very last, the evil 
spectre will collapse into nothingness in the rest of the Reich." 

- Hitler's Speeches, Baynes. Vol.l. The Institute of International 

Affairs. 1942 


* In fact, the mentioned Jewish hangmen did get their day, albeit delayed. Of 
thousands of German military personnel captured and executed as a consequence 
of the highly illegal and internationally condemned Nuremberg Trials and Military 
Tribunals, the highest ranking German leaders were publicly humiliated, denied 
basic human rights and in an orgy of revenge liquidated. 

Most of the executions took place in secrecy on the 15th October 1946 - which 
'coincidentally' happened to be the Jewish Feast Day Hoshana Raba. The 
hangman, John C. Woods, a sergeant in the United States Army was Jewish. The 
executions were deliberately bungled, the prisoners given a short drop so that their 
necks would not be instantaneously broken and ensuring their slow strangulation 
amidst the utmost pain. 

Several of those executed also suffered face and head injuries, as the struck the 
edge of the trapdoor frame, on their way down. Julius Streicher who had been a 
farmer throughout the war and held no political post, was the only victim to have 
fought physically with his tormentors. When he was finally subdued he gave a 
Hitler salute before dying. The official United States undertaker, who was 
present at the executions, stated that: "The Jewish-American boy in charge of the 
execution (of Streicher) let him strangle, horribly for a long, long minute." 


"We realised that the state can be for our people a paradise only if the people can hold 
sway therein freely as in paradise : we realised that a slave-state will never be a paradise, 
but only - always and for all time - a hell or a colony." - Hitler's Speeches, Baynes. 
Vol.l. The Institute of International Affairs. 1942 

" ... we grasped the fact that power in the last resort is possible only where there is 
strength, and that strength lies not in the dead weight of numbers but solely in energy. 
Even the smallest minority can achieve a mighty result if it is inspired by the most fiery, 
the most passionate will to act. World history has always been made by minorities.” - 
Hitler's Speeches, Baynes. Vol.l. The Institute of International Affairs. 1942 

THE STRUGGLE FOR POWER : CASUALTIES 

" . . . I would ask you to consider that the National Socialist Movement - solely during 
the period of its legal fight for power - had to lament nearly 400 dead and more than 
43,000 wounded. It was here again only the will to maintain the community of the 



German people which gave us all after the victory self-mastery and restraint. It was not 
our wish to shed blood, we wished to wreak no vengeance, but we now wished more 
earnestly than ever before to capture and win men for the new community." - Hamburg, 
17th August 1934 

"The truth is valueless so long as there is lacking the indomitable will to turn this 
realisation into action." - Hitler's Speeches, Baynes. Vol.l. The Institute of International 
Affairs. 1942 

"More people died as a result of the tiny abortive Easter Uprising against British rule in 
Ireland (1916) than died as a result of political violence in Germany during the entire 
National Socialist revolution." - Adolf Hitler 

SYNOPSIS OF THE PROCLAMATION BY THE GOVERNMENT TO THE 
GERMAN NATION THE NEW GERMANY DESIRES WORK AND PEACE' 

Berlin, 1st February 1933 

"We are determined, as leaders of the nation, to fulfil as a national government the task 
which has been allotted to us, swearing fidelity only to God, our conscience, and the 
nation. 

The inheritance which has fallen to us is a terrible one. The task with which we are 
faced is the hardest which has fallen to German statesmen within the memory of man. 
But we are all filled with unbounded confidence, for we believe in our people and their 
imperishable virtues. Every class and every individual must help us to found the new 
Reich. 

The National Government will regard it as their first and foremost duty to revive in the 
nation the spirit of unity and co-operation. They will preserve and defend those basic 
principles on which our nation has been built up. They regard Christianity as the 
foundation of our national morality, and the family as the basis of national life. They 
are determined, without regard for class or social status, to restore the nation to a 
consciousness of its political and national unity and of the duties consequent upon this 
realisation. They intend to make respect for our glorious past and pride in our ancient 
traditions the ground principles for the education of German youth. In this way they 
will wage a pitiless war upon spiritual, political, and cultural Nihilism. Germany must 
not, Germany shall not go under in the chaos of Communism. 

All those institutions which are the strongholds of the energy and vitality of our nation 
will be taken under the especial care of the Government. 

The German farmer must be rescued in order that the nation may be supplied with the 
necessities of life. A concerted and all-embracing attack must be made on 
unemployment in order that the German working class may be saved from ruin. 

. . . within four years unemployment must be finally overcome. At the same time the 
conditions necessary for a revival in trade and commerce are provided. . . . the securing 
of the necessities of life will include the performance of social duties to the sick and 
aged. . . . Great is our love for our army as the bearer of our arms and the symbol of our 
great past, we should be happy if the world, by reducing its armaments, would see to it 
that we need never again increase our own." 


- Hitler's Speeches, Baynes. Vol.l. The Institute of International 

Affairs. 1942 

The proclamation closes with the prayer that "God Almighty may give our work His 
blessing, strengthen our purpose and endow us with wisdom and the trust of our people, 
for we are fighting not for ourselves, but for Germany! 

"During fourteen years the German nation has been at the mercy of decadent elements 
which have abused its confidence. During fourteen years those elements have done 
nothing but destroy, disintegrate and dissolve. Hence it is neither temerity nor 
presumption if, appearing before the nation today, I ask: German nation, give us four 
years time, after which you can arraign us before your tribunal and you can judge me! 
Allow me four years, and I swear to you, as truly as I have now undertaken my duties, I 
will depart. It is not for any reward or benefit that I have taken office, but only for your 
sake. It has been the greatest decision of my whole life. 

I cannot rid myself of my faith in my people, nor lose the conviction that this people will 
resuscitate again one day. I cannot be severed from the love of a people that I know to 
be my own. And I nourish the conviction that the hour will come when millions of men 
who now curse us will take their stand behind us to welcome the new Reich, our 
common creation born of a painful and laborious struggle and an arduous triumph - a 
Reich which is the symbol of greatness, honour, strength, honesty and justice." - Berlin, 
Sportpalast, February 1933 

"I will not build myself a villa in Switzerland, nor will I lay claim to any fund with 
which to fight criminality in this election campaign. Then after four years people shall 
judge whether the policy of ruining Germany has come to an end, whether Germany is 
rising again. 

I am ready to offer the hand to anyone even if previously he has misunderstood us if he 
will now join our Movement. But what we have won I shall know how to defend 
against those who for fourteen years have shown that all that they could do was destroy 
Germany. 

I have not taken this office for the sake of personal gain. For myself I desire nothing. 
Our purpose will always remain the same, and I am persuaded that this puipose which 
nothing can break will one day enable us to break down the distress of Germany." - 
Stuttgart, 15th February 1933 

... and on 17th, February, 1933, Dortmund: "What I claim is fair and just: only four 
years for us and the others shall form their judgement and pass sentence. I will not flee 
abroad, I will not seek to escape sentence. My will cannot be broken. But particularly 
in these days there is one thing which I would not have said in the future - that one man 
has to make his own way in the teeth of all. I want it to be said that at last the German 
people found its way back to itself: that the German people did indeed one day return to 
its senses. It realised the need of the hour: it co-operated to form this Reich which we 
all desire, this Germany of Social justice, of inner strength, of greatness and force and 
therefore also of splendour for our German youth." 

"Fourteen years ago I began the fight, not because at the time I had any enthusiasm for 
German capitalism which wanted to be rescued. What then was the reason for my 


action? I myself was and still am a child of the people. It was not for the capitalists that 
I undertook this struggle, it was for the German working man that I took my stand." - 
Sportpalast, Berlin. 2nd March 1933 


Note: On March, 29th, 1936, the German nation was given the opportunity to 
express their approval or disapproval of the National Socialist state. It was an 
entirely free election without fear or intimidation with adequate provision made 
for monitoring by neutral observers. Total qualified votes 45,453,691 : Total votes 
cast 45,001,489 (99%) : Votes 'no' or invalid 540,211 : Votes for Hitler's NSDAP 
44,461,278 (98.8%). 


"I have taken up the fight against Marxism. Should anyone think it necessary to ally 
himself with Marxism let him be convinced of this: he will not save Marxism, he will 
but share the ruin to which Marxism is doomed.” - Munich, 24th February 1933. 

THE ROEHM PURGE 

"It was to me that he (Ernst Roehm) had pledged his loyalty and broken that 
pledge, and for that I alone must call him to account." - Adolf Hitler 

In the months leading up to the Roehm Purge, the SA. Chief-of-Staff Ernst Roehm 
plotted with others to hijack the new born National Socialist State through the 
replacement of the old guard with hand-picked opportunists, misinformation, 
subversion, and the false claim that they were acting on the Fuhrer's behalf and 
with his compliance. Planning their bloody 'Night of the Long Knives' - Roehm's 
expression and not Hitler's response to it as is often wrongly claimed, Hitler would 
have been presented with a fait accompli and forced to accept the conditions of the 
traitor Roehm's 'Second Revolution'. 

"Although only a few days before I had been prepared to exercise clemency, at this hour 
there was no place for such consideration. Mutinies are suppressed in accordance with 
laws of iron which are eternally the same. If anyone reproaches me and asks why I did 
not resort to any regular courts of justice for conviction of the offenders, then all I can 
say to him is this: in this hour I was responsible for the fate of the German people, and 
thereby I became the supreme Justicar of the German people. ... I gave the order to 
shoot those who were the ringleaders of this treason, and I further gave the order to burn 
down to the raw flesh the ulcers of this poisoning of the wells in our domestic life and 
of the poisoning of the outside world ..." - Reichstag, 13th July 1934 

CASUALTY LIST: "Those who lost their lives were nineteen higher SA. leaders, 
thirty-one leaders and members of the SA., were shot, and further, for complicity in the 
plot, three leaders of the SS., while thirteen SA. leaders and civilians who attempted to 
resist arrest lost their lives.. Three more committed suicide. Five who did not belong to 
the SA. but were members of the Party, were shot for taking part in the plot. Finally 





there were also shot three members of the SS. who had been guilty of scandalous ill- 
treatment of those who had been taken into protective custody.” - Reichstag, 13th July 
1934 

"In order to prevent political passion and exasperation venting itself in lynch justice on 
further offenders when the danger was removed and the revolt could be regarded as 
suppressed, as early as Sunday, 1st July strictest orders were given that all further 
retribution should cease. Thereby from that night the normal state of affairs was re¬ 
established.” - Reichstag, 13th July 1934 

The suppression of Roehm's attempted coup was and still is today wildly 
exaggerated by the foreign Press. Hitler's response: "If in the two weeks that now lie 
behind us the foreign press in place of any objective and just reporting of events has 
flooded the world with untrue and incorrect assertions and communications, I cannot 
admit the validity of the excuse that it was impossible to obtain any other information. 
In most cases it needed only a short telephone call to the authorities concerned in order 
to show that most of those assertions could not be sustained. When in particular the 
report was spread that among the victims of the conspiracy there were included even 
members of the Cabinet of the Reich, it would not have been difficult to establish that 
the contrary was the case .... Hitler went on to pour scorn on the fanciful notions of 
the foreign press and added: "If finally during the last few days an English paper can 
report that I was at present suffering from a nervous breakdown, it would have needed 
only a small enquiry to establish the truth. I can only assure these anxious reporters that 
neither in the War nor after the War have I ever suffered such a breakdown, but this 
time I have indeed suffered the severest breakdown of trust and faith which I had placed 
in a man for whose protection I had done everything in my power, for whom I actually 
sacrificed myself.” - Reichstag, 13th July 1934 

The speech was concluded by the Fuhrer's praise for the millions of SS. and SA. 
who had stood loyally by him and assisted in the suppression of Roehm's 
attempted coup. Such was the personal bravery of Hitler in suppressing the 
attempted coup that the President of the Reich, Field-Marshall von Hindenburg 
telegraphed the German Leader: "From the reports presented to me I realise that 
through your determined action and through the courageous intervention of your own 
person you have nipped in the bud all treasonable plots. You have saved the German 
people from a grave danger. For this I express to you my profound thanks and my 
sincere recognition. With best greetings - von Hindenburg. 2nd July 1934." 

"If anyone faces me with the reproach that we should have used the regular courts for 
trial, I have only one answer: In that hour I was responsible for the fate of the German 
nation, and therefore I myself was the German people's Supreme Tribunals." - Speech to 
the Reichstag, 13 July 1934 

THE REICHSTAG FIRE 

Replying to the charge that the Reichstag Fire was National Socialist inspired 
arson to provide the excuse for an anti-Communist campaign: "It is nothing but a 
damned lie and a malicious libel. As base it is ridiculous. Of course, there is one way 


in which I could settle these reports once and for all. I could have the Communist who 
was caught hanged from the nearest tree. That would dispose forever of this vile 
insinuation that he is an agent our ours. But these lies are really too absurd even to 
discuss seriously. 

But I will tell you another thing. Europe, instead of suspecting me of false play, should 
be grateful to me for my drastic action against the Bolsheviks. If Germany went 
Communist, as there was every danger of her doing until I became Chancellor, it would 
not have been long before the rest of civilised Europe fell a prey to this Asiatic pest. 

The onslaught on the Reichstag was just one of a whole series of terrorist atrocities 
which the police are able to prove were planned by the Communists. The fire in the 
Berlin Royal Castle, which was only just discovered in time, was to have raised the 
curtain on an orgy of destruction. 

We have seized hundredweights of material in the secret cellar of the Communist 
headquarters, proving that these fires were to be the beacon signals of a nation-wide 
campaign of dynamiting, incendiarism, and mass murder. Why, those Bolshevist 
criminals had even made preparations to poison the water reservoirs. 

Suppose there had been a similar situation in Britain. Suppose that the Communists had 
tried to set Buckingham Palace on fire, and had actually succeeded in setting on fire the 
House of Commons and gutting this national shrine! Your Government would have 
acted just as I have acted." 

Interview with Sefton Delmer, Daily Express correspondent, 

March 3rd 1933 

Hitler's reaction to the impertinent setting up of an 'international inquiry into the 

causes of the Reichstag Fire: "What would this world beyond our frontiers say of 
Germany if here we allowed folk to stage the comedy of an inquiry in favour of a 
creature who had sought to set on fire the British Houses of Parliament - an inquiry 
whose only objective could be to set British justice and Britain's judges beneath the 
value placed upon such a blackguard? As a German and a National Socialist, I should 
not be interested to champion in Germany the cause of a foreigner who had sought in 
England to undermine the State or the laws in force there, or had gone so far as to attack 
with fire buildings which stand as a symbol of the English Constitution. And even if 
this creature were a German - and may God spare us that shame! -,we would not hide 
the fact, but only profoundly regret that such a misfortune had to befall us: we should 
have only one wish - that British justice should without pity free humanity from such a 
curse." - 14th October 1933. Radio Broadcast 

THE TIMELESSNESS OF NATIONAL SOCIALISM 

"I am prepared to admit that the National Socialist ideal, in its final perfection, stands 
like a polar star above mankind. But mankind must ever follow a star. If it laid hold of 
this star, it would see it no more. We are on the right road, and we have the right goal. 
We shall be reforming the German people for centuries." - Detmold, 15th January 
1936 

HONOUR 

"I appeal to the whole German people: if in this I ever make a mistake or if the time 
should ever come that the people should believe that it cannot support my actions, then 



it can put me to death: I will calmly stand my ground. But never will I do anything to 
violate my own honour and the honour of my nation. Let the people judge: let them vote 
'Yes' and for equality of rights, for honour and for true peace, for a new Reichstag which 
will guarantee this policy. For in the long run there is not even any economic salvation 
for a people if it is ruined politically and morally. We have only one aim in the world: 
not hatred for other peoples, but love for our German nation." - Opening of the Electoral 
Campaign, Sportpalast, Berlin, 24th October 1933 

Note: The subsequent plebiscite (referendum) in which Hitler offer the German 
nation the opportunity to 'hire him or fire him' on the question of his leadership 
and withdrawal from the discredited League of Nations. Of 45,176,713 entitled to 
vote 95.1% gave the Fuhrer their approval and only 4.9% voted against. The 
results for re-election to the Reichstag were similar with 92.2 in favour and 7.8% 
being wasted votes. 

"I can give my hand to a Communist at the moment when I see that he recognises the 
madness of his former ideology: I can give my hand to the most narrow-minded 
reactionaries in the moment when he sees that his former standpoint is untenable. There 
is only one to whom I can never give my hand - he who have never known what it is to 
have a political conviction, but who could be bought for money." - Kiel, 6th November 
1933 


"It is always better if necessary to accept an end with dread than to suffer a dread which 
has no end." 

- November 
9th 1934 


NO BANK ACCOUNT - NO ULTERIOR MOTIVES 

In stressing his independence (perhaps a jibe at the British Conservative party of 
which most members had shares in arms producing factories): "I have not upheld 
the rearming of the German people because I am a shareholder. I am perhaps the only 
statesman in the world who has no bank account." 


PACIFISM 

"If our ancestors had formerly made their decisions dependent upon the present absurd 
pacifist mentality we would not possess altogether a third of our present natural soil, and 
the German people would no longer have to care for their future in Europe! No, it is to 
their resolute attitude in the struggle for existence that we owe the two Marches of the 
East of the Reich and, furthermore, this internal force which constitutes the territorial 
grandeur of our State and our people, grandeur which moreover has alone permitted us 
to subsist down to the present day." - Mein Kampf 

"Man has come great through perpetual struggle. In perpetual peace his greatness must 
decline." - Mein Kampf 

"A man who says: 'I deny that I have a right to defend my personal life' has thereby 
denied his right to exist. To be a pacifist argues a lack of conviction, a lack of character. 
For the pacifist is indeed ready enough to claim the help of others, but himself declines 



to help himself. It is precisely the same with people. A people who is not prepared to 
protect itself is a people without character. We must recover for our people as one of 
the most elementary principles the recognition of the fact that a man is truly only a man 
if he defends and protects himself, that a people deserves the name only if in the case of 
necessity it is prepared as a people to enter the lists. That is not militarism. That is self- 
preservation." - 27th, April 1923. Hitler's Speeches, Baynes. Royal Institute of 
International Affairs, 1942 

"The idea of pacifism and humanity may be quite good after the supreme race has 
conquered and subdued the world in such measure it makes him its exclusive master. . . 

. Therefore, first fight, and then perhaps pacifism." - Mein Kampf 

"Pacifism is the most outspoken cowardice ... we have come into the political life as 
soldiers .... And when anyone says: you are imperialists, then ask him: Are you 
unwilling to be one? If not, then never dare to become a father, for if you beget a child 
you must provide its daily bread. And if you provide bread, then you are an 
imperialist.” - Congress of the N.S.D.A.P, Nuremberg, 19-21 August 1927 

PROPAGANDA 

Hitler was conscious of the negative aspects of contrived propaganda and his 
admiration for the British fighting man served as an example of this. 

"But in Germany, through the medium of the schools, the press and the comic papers, an 
idea of the Englishman was gradually formed which was bound eventually to lead to the 
worst kind of self-deception. This absurdity slowly but persistently spread into every 
quarter of German life. The result was an under-valuation for which we have had to pay 
a heavy penalty. The delusion was so profound that the Englishman was looked upon as 
a shrewd businessman, but personally a coward to an incredible degree. Unfortunately 
our lofty teachers of professional history did not bring home to the minds of their pupils 
the truth that it is not possible to build up such a mighty organisation as the British 
Empire by mere swindle and fraud. The few who called attention to that truth were 
either ignored or silenced. I can vividly recall to mind the astonished looks of my 
comrades when they found themselves personally face to face for the first time with the 
Tommies in Flanders. After a few days of fighting the consciousness slowly dawned on 
our soldiers those Scotsmen were not like those we had seen described and caricatured 
in the comic papers and mentioned in the communiques.” 

- Mein 
Kampf 


CONSTITUTION 

"During my whole political fight I have been dominated, commanded, so help me 
God! by one thought alone, Germany!" 

- Adolf Hitler, Hamburg, 17th August, 1934 

It is not generally known that the Weimar Constitution was never formally 
abrogated by the National Socialist State; no single National Socialist statement of 
the new Constitution took its place : "The man who stands at the head of affairs in 


Germany is appointed by the German people and is responsible to them alone. I myself 
feel that I am merely commissioned by the nation to carry out those reforms which will 
enable it some day to make the final decision regarding the definite constitution of the 
Reich." - Reichstag, 30th January 1934 

"I have never regarded the authority of office as in any way a possible substitute for the 
confidence of the nation, but have always honestly endeavoured to use the authority 
inherent in office for gaining the confidence of the people. I may, therefore, proudly 
confess that, just as the National Socialist Movement had its origins exclusively in the 
people, so we too, as the Government, have never thought otherwise than as the people, 
with the people, and for the people." - Reichstag, 30th January 1934 

The Fuhrer explained that he would from time to time (referenda) appeal to the 
people if only in order that the Movement might remain as elastic as it had been in 
the past and that it might recognise in good time any failings which might 
inadvertently slip in. "The Reichstag was a youthful Reichstag and through this 
recurrent appeal to the people care must be taken that youth should never die out from 
its ranks. Of this new Reichstag it must one day be said that it had the youngest, the 
most courageous, and the boldest, and that it had solved the great problems set by 
history - the problems on which the centuries had suffered shipwreck." - Reichstag, 11th 
December 1933 following the NSDAP electoral success on 12th November 1933 

"Not for my own sake have I asked for this vote, but for the sake of the German people. 
It is not I who need such a vote of confidence in order to strengthen or maintain my 
position; it is the German people which needs a Chancellor supported in the eyes of the 
whole world by such a display of confidence. For I am nothing, my fellow countrymen, 
but the spokesman on your behalf, and I have no desire to be anything but the 
representative of your life and the defender of your vital interests. 

Real mistakes which can be proven against me - for them I will readily answer and 
accept responsibility. They are all within the limits set for everyone by general human 
fallibility. But against these mistakes I can set the fact that never in my fight have I 
taken any action which I was not convinced was for the welfare of the German people. 
For during my whole political fight I have been dominated, commanded, so help me 
God! by one thought alone, Germany!" - Hamburg, 17th August 1934 

"The Leader is the Party and the Party is the Leader. As I feel myself to be only a part of 
this Party, so the Party feels itself to be only a part of me. When I shall close my eyes in 
death I do not know. But that the Party will live on that I know, and that over all 
persons, over weakness and strength it will triumph and will successfully fashion the 
future of the German nation that I believe, that I know! . . . Today, as Leader of the 
Reich and nation, I can still give my help and counsel. But principles must lead us away 
from the personal to the eternal. Leaders will come and leaders will die, but Germany 
must live, and this Movement will alone lead Germany to this life ..." - Nuremberg 
Parteitag, 1935 


MAGNANIMITY TO FORMER OPPONENTS 



Interview with Pierre Huss of the Hearst Press (ibid. 17th January, 1935) when 
asked whether the Social Democrats and the Communists would experience any 
difficulty due to their former convictions: "Do you think that the nearly 39 millions of 
my supporters in Germany did not previously belong to any party? They have been 
gradually and with much labour won over to the National Socialist idea ... we never 
ask what the individual man has been, only what he wishes to be today ... in our 
community of the people former Communists and adherents of the Centrum (pro- 
Marxist Catholic Centre Party) today join in a common fight for the National Socialist 
State." 

"I do not know if there ever has been a revolution which was of such a profound 
character as the National Socialist Revolution and which at the same time allowed 
innumerable persons who had been prominent in political circles under the former 
regime to follow their respective callings in private life peacefully and without causing 
them any worry. . . . but this policy did not always help our reputation abroad. Just a 
few months ago we had an experience with some very honourable British world-citizens 
who considered themselves obliged to address a protest to me because I had some 
criminal proteges of the Moscow regime interned in a German concentration camp. 
Perhaps it is because I am not very well informed on current affairs that I have not heard 
whether these honourable gentlemen have ever expressed their indignation at the 
various acts of sanguinary violence which these Moscow criminals committed in 
Germany ... or, whether for example, they have taken the occasion of recent 
happenings in Spain to express their indignation against slaughtering and burning to 
death thousands upon thousands of men, women and children . . . People in Spain have 
assured us that if we place the number of persons who have been slaughtered in this 
bestial way at 170,000, the figure will probably be too low rather than too high. . . . 
that we did not carry out this mass-slaughter is apparently looked upon as a piece of 
negligence on our part. We see that the democratic world-citizens are by no means 
gracious in their criticism of leniency." - Reichstag, 30th January 1934 

CRITICISM 

"I have, it is true, in my life seen over and over again that one finds more men who 
know how a thing should be done than men who can actually put their knowledge into 
practice. And for every thousand men who are ready to judge a piece of work and give 
their opinion on it, there are rarely to be found ten who are themselves prepared to take 
part in the work. Ninety-five per cent of all professional critics who are ready enough to 
chatter away will not say a word the moment anyone invites them to give proof of their 
better knowledge through actually putting into practice and doing the job themselves.” - 
Hamburg, 17th August 1934 

Mr. Louis P. Lochner (Associated Press) asked of Hitler's attitude to criticism: "Do 

you know I have collected round me a whole staff of specialists on questions of 
economic, social, and political life whose sole duty is criticism? Before we issue a law I 
show the draft to these men and ask them, 'Please, is there anything wrong about this?' I 
do not wish that they should simply say 'Yes' to everything. They have no value for me 
if they do not criticise and tell me what faults might possibly appear in the application of 
our measures." - Volkischer Beobachter, 5th April 1934 



Asked what would take the place of parliamentary opposition, Hitler replied: "The 
principle of single centralised authority must first be established, then at all costs 
preserved. I myself assume absolute authority. If I fail I will not retire to a villa in 
Switzerland. 

As each department head carries full responsibility for that department to guard against 
mistakes, it is to his interest to seek all kinds of expert advice and to listen to every 
criticism. 

Look at my schedule of appointments day in and day out, and you will see I receive 
suggestions, praise, and objections, not only from friends and Party members, but from 
all sorts of people. Seeking honest criticism is part of my duty. Cromwell secured 
England in a crisis similar to ours, and he saved it by obliterating parliament and uniting 
the nation." - New York Times: Interview Anne O'Hare McCormick. 10th July 1933 

AUSTRIA (NATIONAL SOCIALIST LIBERATION OF) 

“The world must convince itself that the German people in Austria are 
experiencing in these days’ hours of bliss and deep joy”. 

“It is with the deepest sorrow that for years past we have watched the fate of our fellow- 
countrymen in Austria. Austria from ancient times has formed part of the German 
people; the two countries have shared a common destiny.” 

The Fuhrer went on to describe recent events in Austria when its population, 
increasingly attracted to unity with Hitler’s Germany, was subjected to state- 
inspired terrorism: “At the time when in Germany, thanks to the victory of the 
National Socialist idea, the nation once more found its way to the proud self- 
consciousness of a great people there began in Austria a new period of suffering and 
bitter trials. By the most brutal methods of terrorism, of bodily and economic torture 
and annihilation, a regime, which lacked any legal mandate, sought to maintain an 
existence which was condemned by the overwhelming majority of the Austrian people. 
Thus we, as a great people, had the experience of seeing more than six million people of 
the same stock as ourselves suffering oppression at the hands of a numerically small 
minority simply owing to the fact that this minority had gained possession of the means 
necessary to enforce its will. 

From the deprivation of political rights and coercion there arose an economic decline 
which stands in terrible contrast with developments in the new Germany. Who can 
blame these unfortunate members of our German people if they cast longing eyes to the 
Reich - to that Germany with which their ancestors had been associated for so many 
centuries, with whose citizens they had fought shoulder to shoulder in the cruellest of all 
wars, whose civilization was their civilisation, and to which they had made in so many 
spheres contributions of their own of the highest value? To suppress this sentiment was 
to condemn hundreds of thousands to profound mental suffering. 

The Fuhrer went on to describe the state sponsored oppression in Austria which led to 
the exodus of hundreds of thousands of refugees fleeing to Hitler’s Germany: “Germany 
alone has been forced to receive over 400,000 fugitives, 10,000 others within this small 
country have passed through prisons, dungeons, and concentration camps, hundreds of 
thousands have been reduced to beggary, to misery, and to poverty. No nation in the 


world will be able permanently to tolerate these conditions on its frontier without being 
itself despised - and that deservedly.” 

Describing the denial of democracy in Austria and the persistent reneging on 
agreements made to secure human rights in their neighbouring country the Fuhrer 
described Austria as: “A country which for many years had no elections at all, where 
there were no means of determining who were qualified to vote, announces an election 
which is to take place in less than three and a half day’s time? There are no lists of 
voters, there are no voting cards, there are no means of testing a person’s right to vote, 
there is no obligation to maintain the secrecy of the ballot, there is no guarantee that the 
election will be conducted with impartiality, there is no security that the votes will be 
properly counted - and so on.” 

Against this unexampled expedient of an election fraud the German people in Austria 
itself at last revolted. By this time when the regime once more planned simply to crush 
the movement of protest with a strong arm the result could only be a new civil war. 

But the German Reich will not suffer that henceforth in this territory Germans shall be 
persecuted because they belong to our nation or because they profess their belief in 
certain views. It desires calm and order. 

I determined therefore to place the help of the Reich at the service of the millions of 
Germans in Austria. Since this morning the soldiers of the Germany Army are on the 
march across all frontiers of German Austria. 

Tanks, infantry divisions, bands of SS. On the ground, and the German air arm in the 
blue heaven - summoned by the new National Socialist Government in Vienna - will be 
the guarantee that as soon as possible the opportunity will be given at last* to the 
German people itself to fashion its own future and its own destiny by a real plebiscite. 
Behind these troops stand the will and the resolution of the whole German nation! 

I myself as Leader and Chancellor of the German people shall be happy now once more 
as a German and a free citizen to be able to tread the soil of the country which is also my 
homeland. The world must convince itself that the German people in Austria are 
experiencing in these days’ hours of bliss and deep joy. 

It sees in the brothers coming to its help its saviours from profound distress. Long live 
the National Socialist Reich! Long live National Socialist German-Austria!” - Adolf 
Hitler, Berlin 12 th March 1938 


"Hitler had a plausible case to argue when he claimed that the Anschluss was only the 
application of the Wilsonian principle of self-determination.” - Alan Bullock 

"The crisis of March, 1938 (which led to the Anschluss) was provoked by Schuschnigg, 
the Austrian Chancellor, not by Hitler." - A.J.P.Taylor, noted British Historian. 

"He (Chamberlain) had no difficulty in recognizing where this injustice lay. There were 
six million Germans in Austria to whom national reunification was still forbidden by the 
Peace Treaties of 1919. Three million Germans in Czechoslovakia whose wishes had 
never been consulted; three hundred and fifty thousand people in Danzig who were 
notoriously German.” - A.J.P.Taylor. noted British Historian. 



"The German Army was invading Austria, or rather was marching in to the general 
enthusiasm of the people.” - A.J.P.Taylor, noted British historian 


"The pull of sentiment, language and history, reinforced by the material advantages 
offered by becoming part of a big nation, was strong enough to waken a genuine 
welcome when the frontier barriers went down and the German troops marched in 
garlanded with flowers.... there was a widespread sense of relief, even amongst those 
who were far from being Nazis.” - Alan Bullock. Historian 

Subsequently and following proper registration of Austria’s voting population elections 
were held throughout Germany and Austria in order that both populations be given the 
opportunity to approve or reject German-Austrian unity: On March 13th 1938 the 
Austrian Government enacted a constitutional law concerning a plebiscite for the 
reunion of Austria with the Third Reich. On 18th March 1938 Hitler dissolved the 
Reichstag and announced conformity with the plebiscite which was announced on April 
10th 1938. The peoples of both nations were to be given the opportunity to decide for 
or against unification with Hitler's Germany.

RACE AND NATIONHOOD 

"People of the same blood should be in the same Reich." Mein Kampf 

"I developed very rapidly in the nationalist direction, and by the time I was fifteen years 
old I had come to understand the distinction between dynastic patriotism and 
nationalism based on the concept of folk, or people, my inclination being entirely in 
favour of the latter." - Mein Kampf 














"The world is undoubtedly going through great changes. The only question is whether 
the outcome will be the good of Aryan humanity or profits for the Jew. The task of the 
national state will, therefore, be to preserve the race and fit it to meet the final and great 
decisions on this globe by suitable education of its youth." - Adolf Hitler 

"Great nations do not succumb through lost wars, but rather through racial decay and the 
destruction of their internal order." - Adolf Hitler 

" ... it is England that is fighting for lesser races, whereas I am fighting only for 
Germany ..." - to Sir. Neville Henderson, British Ambassador to Berlin, 24 August 
1939. British Blue Book, p.101 

“We have the so-called white race which, since the collapse of ancient civilisation, in 
the course of some thousand years has created for itself a privileged position in the 
world. But I am quite unable to understand this privileged position, this economic 
supremacy, of the white trace over the rest of the world if I do not bring it into close 
connection with a political conception of supremacy which has been peculiar to the 
white race for many centuries and has been regarded as in the nature of things. 

Take any single area you like, take for example India. England did not conquer India by 
the way of justice and of law; she conquered India without regard to the wishes, to the 
views of the natives, or to their formulations of justice, and, when necessary, she has 
upheld this supremacy with the most brutal ruthlessness. 

Just in the same way as Cortez or Pizarro annexed Central America and the northern 
states of South America, not on the basis of any claim of right, but from the absolute 
inborn feeling of the superiority of the white race. 

The settlement of the Northern American continent is just as little the consequence of 
any claim of superior right in any democratic or international sense; it was the 
consequence of a consciousness of right which was rooted solely in the conviction of the 
superiority and therefore of the right of the white race. 

If I think away this attitude of mind which in the course of the last three or four 
centuries has won the world for the white race, then the destiny of this race would in 
fact have been no different from that, say, of the Chinese: an immensely congested mass 
of human beings crowded upon an extraordinarily narrow territory, an over-population 
with all of its unavoidable consequences. 

If fate allowed the white race to take a different path, that is only because this white race 
was convinced that it had the right to organise the rest of the world; in practice it was 
the exercise of an extraordinary brutal right to dominate others.” - speech to the 
Industry Club, Dusseldorf, 27 th January 1932. This speech was regarded as onre of 
Hitler’s greatest triumphs as an orator. Through it he won the support of the captains of 
industry throughout western Germany.” 

"Every manifestation of human culture, every product of art, science and technical skill, 
which we see before our eyes today, is almost exclusively the product of the Aryan 
creative power. This very fact fully justifies the conclusion that it was the Aryan alone 
who founded a superior type of humanity; therefore he represents the archetype of what 
we understand by the term: MAN. He is the Prometheus of mankind, from whose 
shining brow the spark of genius has at all times flashed forth, always kindling anew 



that fire which, in the form of knowledge, illuminated the dark night by drawing aside 
the veil of mystery and thus showing man how to rise and become master over all the 
other beings on earth. Should he be forced to disappear, a profound darkness will 
descend on the earth; within a few thousand years human culture will vanish and the 
world will become a desert." - Mein Kampf 

Hitler was painfully aware that the White Race more than most harbours elements 
who feel no blood kinship with their own racial type and in extreme cases of racial 
self-loathing are hostile to the extent that they will bond with those of other race, 
even those hostile to their own : "The Germans lack the powerful gregarious instinct, 
effect of the identity of the blood, which, especially imperious in the hours of danger, 
averts the ruins of nations, instantaneously effacing among the peoples who are 
endowed with it all the subsidiary differences and making them oppose to the common 
enemy the united front of a homogeneous herd." - Mein Kampf 

"Unfortunately our German people no longer has a homogeneous race as its basis. And 
the fusion of the original elements has not made much progress that one can speak of a 
new race born of the fusion.". - Mein Kampf 

"The gap between the lowest, still so-called human being and our highest races is greater 
than that between the lowest man and the highest ape," - Die Reden Hitler's am 
Reichsparteitag, 1933 (Munich, 1934). p.33 

Allied saturation bombing, reduction of the German population through genocide 
(an estimated fifteen million German people were slaughtered between December 
1944 - 1949) followed by enforced immigration has as its end plan the total 
elimination of the German nation-race. Thus Hitler's concern as to its ending. 

"Then indeed when Rome collapsed there were endless streams of new German bands 
flowing into the Empire from the North ; but, if Germany collapses today, who is there 
to come after us? German blood upon this earth is on the way to gradual exhaustion 
unless we pull ourselves together and make ourselves free." - Hitler's Speeches, Baynes. 
Vol.l. The Institute of International Affairs. 1942 

“Every government, even though it may be the worst possible and even though it may 
have betrayed the nation's trust in thousands of ways, will claim that its duty is to uphold 
the authority of the state. Its adversaries, who are fighting for national self-preservation, 
must use the same weapons which the government uses if they are to prevail against 
such a rule and secure their own freedom and independence. Therefore the conflict will 
be fought out with 'legal' means as long as the power which is to be overthrown uses 
them ; but the insurgents will not hesitate to apply illegal means if the oppressor himself 
employs them. 

Generally speaking, we must not forget that the highest aim of human existence is not 
the maintenance of a State of Government but rather the conservation of the race. If the 
race is in danger of being oppressed or even exterminated the question of legality is only 
of secondary importance. The established power may in such a case employ only those 
means which are recognised as legal' yet the instinct of self preservation on the part of 



the oppressed will always justify, to the highest degree, the employment of all possible 
resources. 

Only on the recognition of this principle was it possible for those struggles to be carried 
through, of which history furnishes magnificent examples in abundance, against foreign 
bondage or oppression at home. Human rights are above the rights of state, but if a 
people be defeated in its struggle for its human rights this means that its weight has 
proved too light in the scale of destiny to have the luck of being able to endure in this 
terrestrial world. The world is not there to be possessed by the faint-hearted races. “ - 
Mein Kampf. 

GERMAN NATIONALISM 

“I am a German, I believe in this Germany of mine, I believe in my people, and I will 
not suffer that any alien force shall ever set limits to this my faith. There can never be 
any true independence under foreign protection or at the wish of the foreigner: an 
independence which must be protected by the foreigner there is not and there cannot be. 
I would rather go to ruin together with my people than accept such an independence.”- 
Hitler’s first speech in re-unified Germany-Austria, Graz 3 April 1938. 

RACIAL AND SOCIAL AWARENESS 
"We cannot permit an alien race to impose itself upon 
our working people as their leaders." - Adolf Hitler 

"I was grateful that I was thrown into a world of misery and poverty and thus came to 
know the people for whom afterwards I was to fight." (Hitler was thirteen when his 
father died, fifteen when his mother passed on, the young Hitler set out for Vienna 
to seek a living). - Mein Kampf 

"The question of 'nationalising' a people is first and foremost one of establishing healthy 
social conditions which will furnish the grounds that are necessary for the education of 
the individual. For only when family upbringing and school education have inculcated 
in the individual a knowledge of the cultural and economic and, above all, the political 
greatness of one's country - then, and then only, will it be possible for him to feel proud 
of being a citizen of such a country. I can fight only for something that I live. I can only 
love what I respect. And in order to respect a thing I must at least have some knowledge 
of it." - Mein Kampf 

"If the question is still asked why National Socialism combats the Jewish element in 
Germany so fanatically, the answer can only be, because National Socialism wishes to 
establish a real community of the people. Since we are National Socialists, we cannot 
permit an alien race to impose itself upon our working people as their leaders." - Adolf 
Hitler 

"I wish and will continue to wish, that the German people should learn that by reason of 
practical examples afforded by their ability and work, they are not a second-rate or 
inferior people in comparison with others. On the contrary they are their equals 
according to all true standards of values and therefore entitled to equal rights in all 
respects." - Adolf Hitler 


"In so far then as we devote ourselves to the care of our own blood - that blood which 
has been entrusted to us by destiny - we are at the same time doing our best to help to 
safeguard other peoples from diseases which spring from race to race, from people to 
people. If in West or Central Europe but one single people were to fall a victim to 
Bolshevism, this poison would continue its ravages, it would devastate the oldest, the 
fairest civilisation which can today be found upon this earth. 

Germany by taking upon itself this conflict does but fulfil, as so often before in her 
history, a truly European mission." - Parteitag, Nuremberg, September 1933 / Volkischer 
Beobachter, 5th September 1933 

"We said to ourselves that race differs from race and, further, that each race in 
accordance with its fundamental demands shows externally certain specific tendencies, 
and these tendencies can perhaps be most clearly traced in their relation to the 
conception of work. The Aryan regards work as the foundation for the maintenance of 
the community of the people amongst its members, the Jew regards work as the means 
to the exploitation of other peoples. The Jew never works as a productive creator 
without the great aim of becoming the master. He works unproductively, using and 
enjoying other people's work. And thus we understand the iron sentence which 
Mommsen once uttered : 'The Jew is the fermentation of decomposition in peoples, that 
means the Jew destroys and must destroy because he completely lacks the conception of 
an activity which builds up the life of the community.' And therefore it is beside the 
point whether the individual Jew is 'decent' or not. In himself he carries those 
characteristics. And to us he is harmful. Whether he harms us consciously or 
unconsciously, that is not our affair. We have consciously to concern ourselves for the 
welfare of our own people.." - Hitler's Speeches, Baynes. Vol.l. The Institute of 
International Affairs. 1942 

"We have laid firm foundations for the new State: we have sown seeds that have sunk 
deep. We have won millions upon millions of men for the ideas on which this State is 
based; we have introduced them to the life of this State, always in the conviction that it 
is not laws which protect a State; it is the living will, the faith, the confidence, and the 
courage of a people which are its true protection." - Adolf Hitler 

"The readiness to sacrifice one's personal work and, if necessary, even one's life for 
others shows its most highly developed form in the Aryan race. The greatness of the 
Aryan is not based on his intellectual powers; but rather on his willingness to devote all 
his faculties to the service of his community." - Adolf Hitler 

"The national State divides its inhabitants into three classes: State citizens, State 
subjects, and foreigners. It must be held in greater honour to be a citizen of this Reich 
even if only a crossing-sweeper, than to be a king in a foreign State." - Adolf Hitler 

"The purpose of social work should not be to distribute favours, but to restore rights." - 
Adolf Hitler 


NATIONAL UNITY 


"God did not divide us, only human beings did." 

- Adolf Hitler, Manchester Guardian, 7th June 1937 

“Germans! You are not second-rate, even if the world wishes to have it so a thousand 
times. You are not second-class and inferior. Awake to the realisation of your own 
importance. Remember your past and the achievements of your fathers, yes, and those 
of your own generation. Forget the fourteen years of decay, and think of the two- 
thousand years of Germany history.” . . . 

Germans! You are a strong nation if you yourselves wish to be strong” .... 

“My German comrades! If the world is so against us we must all the more unite 
ourselves together, we must all the more firmly proclaim: ‘You can do what you like but 
you will never make us bow our heads, you will never compel us to recognize a yoke. 
You will never compel our nation to give up its claim to equal rights.’ 

The German people have come to themselves. They will not endure people among them 
any more who are not for Germany.” - May Day 1933 

In explaining the need for pro-German legislation and countering the posturing 
about German Jews being discriminated against : "Today we are merely paying this 
people (international Jewry) what it deserves. When the German nation was, thanks to 
the inflation instigated and carried through by Jews, deprived of the entire savings 
which it had accumulated in years of honest work, when the rest of the world took away 
the German nation's foreign investments, when we were divested of the whole of our 
colonial possessions .... after more than eight hundred thousand children of the nation 
had died of hunger and under-nourishment at the close of the War, we witnessed almost 
one million head of milking cows being driven away from us in accordance with the 
cruel paragraphs of a dictate which the 'humane democratic apostles of the world' forced 
upon us as a peace treaty. We witnessed over one million German prisoners-of-war 
being retained in confinement for no reason at all for a whole year after the War had 
ended. We witnessed over one and a half million Germans being torn away from all that 
they possessed in the territories lying on our frontiers, and being whipped out with 
practically all that they had on their backs. We had to endure millions of our 
countrymen torn from us without their consent. ... I could supplement these examples 
with dozens of the most cruel kind. For this reason we ask to be spared all sentimental 
talk." 

The German nation does not wish its interests to be determined by any foreign nation. 
France to the French, England to the English, America to the Americans, and Germany 
to the Germans. We are resolved to prevent any settlement in our country of a strange 
people which was capable of snatching for itself all the leading positions in the land. 

It is our will to educate our own nationals for these leading positions. We have 
hundreds of thousands of very intelligent children of peasants and of the working 
classes. We shall have them educated and we wish that one day they, and not the 
representatives of an alien race, may hold the leading positions in the State together with 
the educated classes. 

Above all, German culture, as its name alone shows, is German and not Jewish, and 
therefore its management and care will be entrusted to members of our own nation." - 
Reichstag, 30th January 1939 


"If in the course of many years we have succeeded in converting millions of former 
Marxists, have brought them over to our side and incorporated them in our ranks, it 
must and shall be possible for us to stretch our hand to Nationalists (Stahlhelm), 
although they come from another camp, and to receive them as our allies, friends, and 
comrades." - Franfurter Zeitung, 29th June 1933 

"Men must have tasks to perform. When no moral tasks are set before them they will 
seek tasks for themselves - with this one difference, that while the former tasks are great 
because they are set by the community, the others will be small tasks because they are 
set by the individual. In that case a period of Materialism and Mammonism would 
return when the individual thinks only of himself." - Munich, 24th February 1935 

CHRISTIANITY 

"Our task is to harness the God-given energy of this German nation 
to stand firm for the Truth." - Mein Kampf 

Christianity in the Third Reich has been air brushed out of postwar politically 
correct literature or placed on the receiving end of the victor nations’ black 
propaganda. Hitler’s Germany was a Christian nation of which more than 46 
million belong to the German Evangelical (Protestant) Church, and 30 million to 
the Roman Catholic faith. 

They chose Adolf Hitler as the leader, a man arguably the most popular leader in 
European history who said unequivocally: "First I believe in Almighty God. I 
solemnly declare that Almighty God has chosen me for this task." 

In Mein Kampf he writes: "And so I believe today that my conduct is in 
accordance with the will of the Almighty Creator. In standing guard against the 
Jew I am defending the handiwork of the Lord.” And "We wish to fill our culture 
once more with the spirit of Christianity - but not only in theory." 

"I would like here to appeal to a greater than I, Count Lerchenfeld. He said in the last 
session of the Landtag that his feeling 'as a man and a Christian prevented him from 
being an anti-Semite'. I say: my feelings as a Christian points me to the Lord and 
Saviour as a fighter. It points me to a man who once in loneliness, surrounded only be a 
few followers, recognised these Jews for what they were and summoned men to fight 
against them and who, God's truth! was greatest not as a sufferer but as a fighter. In 
boundless love as a Christian and a man I read through the passage which tells us how 
the Lord at last rose in his might and seized the scourge to drive out of the Temple the 
brood of vipers and adders. How terrific was his fight for the world against the Jewish 
poison. Today, after two thousand years, with deepest emotion I recognise more 
profoundly than ever before in the fact that it was for this that He had to shed His blood 
upon the Cross." - Hitler's Speeches, Baynes. Vol.l. The Institute of International 
Affairs. 1942 

“The German Government, which regards Christianity as the unshakeable foundation of 
the ethical life of the German nation, attaches the greatest importance to the 
maintenance and development of friendly relations with the Holy See.” - The 
Government’s Program 


“The national Government regards the two Christian confessions as the most important 
factors of the maintenance of our ethical personality. The Government will adopt a just 
and objective attitude towards all other religions.” - The Government’s Program 


No National Socialist shall be allowed to suffer beccause he does not subscribe to a 
certain religion or because he subscribes to no religion at all. Belief is a matter for 
each one to resolve in the light of his own conscience.” - Rudolf Hess 


"In this hour I pray that the Almighty will give His blessing in the years to come to our 
labours, to our judgement and to our strength of resolution, that He may guard us from 
all false pride as from all cowardly submission, that He will let us find the right path, 
which He in his providence has allotted to the German people, and that He gives us 
always the courage to do right and never to waver or weaken before any force or 
danger." - 5th Anniversary of the National Socialist Government 

"And so I believe today that my conduct is in accordance with the will of the Almighty 
Creator. In standing guard against the Jew I am defending the handiwork of the Lord." - 
Mein Kampf 

"In this hour I would ask of the Lord God only this: that, as in the past, so in the years to 
come He would give His blessing to our work and our action, to our judgement and our 
resolution, that He will safeguard us from all false pride and from all cowardly servility, 
that He may grant to us to find the straight path which His Providence has ordained for 
the German people, and that He may ever give us the courage to do the right, never to 
falter, never to yield before any violence, before any danger." - Adolf Hitler 

"One's own strength is the source of life: that strength is the gift of the Almighty, and it 
is given that we may use it, and in it and through it we may fight the battle of our life." - 
Konigsberg, 4th March, 1933. Dokumente der Deutschen Politik, i (1935), pp. 14-15 

As a Christian I have no duty to allow myself to be cheated, but I have the duty to be a 
fighter for truth and justice. And as a man I have the duty to see to it that human society 
does not suffer the same catastrophic collapse as did the civilisation of the ancient world 
some two thousand years ago - a civilisation which was driven to its ruin through the 
same Jewish people." - Hitler's Speeches, Baynes. Vol.l. The Institute of International 
Affairs. 1942 

"To a political leader the religious teachings and practices of his people should be sacred 
and inviolable. Otherwise he should not be a statesman but a reformer, if he has the 
necessary qualifications for such a mission. Any other line of conduct will lead to 
disaster, especially in Germany." - Mein Kampf 



“The Aryan stands firm, one with God in his attitude to the world and its people.” - 
Adolf Hitler 

"When folk have set before them a true purpose and then pursue it unmoved with 
bravery and courage, when they withstand with a strong heart every trial which Heaven 
sends upon them, then one day at the last Almighty Providence will yet grant them the 
fruits of their struggle and of their sacrifices. For God has never abandoned any man 
upon this earth unless he has first abandoned himself." - Adolf Hitler 

"It is a tragedy of the Germanic world that Jesus was judaised, distorted, falsified; and 
an alien Asiatic spirit was forced upon us. That is a crime we must repair." - Adolf 
Hitler 

" ... we have not only brought thousands of priests back into the Church, but to 
millions of respectable people we have restored their faith in their religion and in their 
priests." - New Year Message, 1st January 1934 

"This (the National Socialist achievement) has not been the work of man alone. If 
Providence had not guided us, I should often not have discovered these dizzy paths. 
That our critics should understand. We National Socialists, too, have deep in our hearts 
our own faith. We cannot do otherwise. No man can mould the history of peoples or of 
the world unless he has upon his will and his capacities the blessing of Providence." - 
Wurzburg, 27th June 1937 

"... we never want to see a lack of religion and faith and do not want our churches 
turned into clubrooms and cinemas." - Reichstag, 21st May 1935 

"I believe that this was God's Will - to send a boy into the Reich, to let him become its 
Leader, in order to bring his home country into the Reich. Otherwise one must doubt 
Providence." - Adolf Hitler 

"I know there are thousands and tens of thousands of priests who are not merely 
reconciled to the State today but who gladly give to the State their co-operation, and I 
am convinced that this co-operation will grow ever closer and more intimate. For their 
interests cannot fail to coincide with ours alike in our fight against the symptoms of 
degeneracy in the world today, in our fight against a Bolshevist culture, against an 
atheistic movement, against criminality, and in our struggle for a consciousness of a 
community in our national life, for the conquest of hatred and disunion between the 
classes, for the conquest of civil war and unrest, of strife and discord. These are not 
anti-Christian, these are Christian principles! And I believe that if we should fail to 
follow these principles, then we should not be able to point to our successes, for the 
result of our political battle is surely not unblest by God." - Koblenz, 26th August 1934 


"Adolf Hitler gave us back our faith. He showed us the true meaning of religion. 
He has come to renew for us the faith of our fathers and to make us new and better 



beings.... just as Jesus Christ made his twelve apostles into a faithful band to the 
martyr's death whose faith shook the Roman Empire, so now we witness the same 
spectacle again. Adolf Hitler is the true Holy Ghost.” - Hanns Kerri. German 
Minister for German Affairs 


RELIGIOUS UNITY 

Hitler being convinced that the common struggle being waged against the common 
destroyer of Aryan humanity called for Catholic and Protestant mutual respect 

and mutual esteem. "In the ranks of our Movement the most loyal Catholic must be 
able to sit side by side with the most loyal Protestant without either of them having to 
suffer the smallest conflict of conscience with his religious convictions." - Mein Kampf 

POLITICAL/SOCIAL INFILTRATION OF THE CHURCH 
Hitler was aware that some priests subvert their religious calling by diverting their 
teaching from spiritual need to political and social statements: "Undoubtedly there 
have always been unscrupulous rogues who did not hesitate to degrade religion to the 
base use of politics. Nearly always such people had nothing else in their minds except 
to make a business of religions and politics. But on the other hand it would be wrong to 
hold religion itself, or a religious denomination, responsible for a number of rascals who 
exploit the Church for their own base interests just as they would exploit anything else 
in which they had a part." - Mein Kampf 

"... it would be wrong to make religion, or the Church as such, responsible for the 
misdeeds of individuals. . . But for each of these unworthy specimens we can find a 
thousand or more who fulfil their mission nobly as the trustworthy guardians of souls 
and who tower above the level of the corrupt epoch, as little islands above the sea- 
swamp." - Mein Kampf 

In a barbed attack against the pro-Marxist Catholic Centre Party (Centrum): "And 
now Staatsprasident Bolz says that Christianity and the Catholic faith are threatened by 
us. And to that charge I can answer: In the first place it is Christians and not 
international atheists who now stand at the head of Germany. I do not merely talk of 
Christianity, no, I also profess that I will never ally myself with the parties which 
destroy Christianity. If many wish today to take threatened Christianity under their 
protection. Where, I would ask, was Christianity for them in these fourteen years when 
they went arm in arm with atheism ... sat with those who denied God in one and the 
same Government?" - Stuttgart, 15th February 1933 

Hitler's endorsement of the teaching of Christ brought him into conflict with the 
Church. His main charge against the Churches was that they had sinned against the 
likeness of the Lord in ignoring race and the purity of the blood of the nation'. "Instead 
of plaguing Hottentots and Kaffirs with missions which they neither desire nor 
understand, the Churches have a work to do at home to save their own people from a 
bodily and moral leprosy." 


He deplored the confessions for their looking on unconcerned at the desecration 
and destruction of a noble and unique creature (Aryan man) which by God's grace 
had been given to earth : "For the future of the earth it is of no significance whether 
the Protestants conquer the Catholics or the Catholics the Protestants: the only 
significance consists in the question whether Aryan man is preserved or whether he dies 
out. And yet both Churches today do not fight against the destroyer of Aryan man but 
mutually seek to annihilate each other." - Mein Kampf 

CHRISTIAN CHARITY 

"This Winter Help Work is also in the deepest sense a Christian work. When I see, as I 
so often do, poorly clad girls collecting with such infinite patience in order to care for 
those who are suffering from the cold while they themselves are shivering with cold, 
then I have the feeling that they are all Apostles of a Christianity - and in truth of a 
Christianity which can say with greater right than any other: This is the Christianity of 
an honest confession (church), for behind it stands not words but deeds." - Winter Help 
Campaign, 5th October 1937 

"Amongst the accusations which are directed against Germany in the so-called 
democracies is the charge that the National Socialist State is hostile to religion. In 
answer to that charge I should like to make before the German people the solemn 
declaration: 

1. "No one in Germany has in the past been persecuted because of his religious views, 
nor will anyone in the future be so persecuted. 

2. "The National Socialist State since 30th January 1933 from public moneys derived 
from taxation through the organs of the State has placed at the disposal of both 
Churches the following sums . . . (1,800,000,000 Reichsmark). Hitler went on to 
detail the enormous riches pouring into the German Churches making them by far 
the most prosperous in Europe, and pointed out to that in separating the Church 
from the State he was only following the lead of France, America and other 
countries. 

3. "The National Socialist State has not closed a church, nor has it prevented the holding 
of a religious service, nor has it ever exercised any influence upon the form of a 
religious service . . . 

ANTI-CULT 

"National Socialism is a cool-headed doctrine of realities; it mirrors clearly scientific 
knowledge and its expression in thought. Since we have won the heart of our people for 
this doctrine we do not wish to fill their minds with a mysticism which lies outside of 
that doctrine's goal and purpose. National Socialism is not a cult-movement - a 
movement for worship; it is exclusively a 'volkic' political doctrine based upon racial 
principles. In its purpose there is no mystic cult, only the care and leadership of a 
people defined by a common blood-relationship. Therefore we have no rooms for 
worship, but only halls for the people - no open spaces for worship, but spaces for 
assemblies and parades. We have no religious retreats, but arenas for sports and 
playing-fields, and the characteristic feature of our places of assembly is not the 
mystical gloom of a cathedral, but the brightness and light of a room or hall which 
combines beauty with fitness for its purpose. 



In these halls no acts of worship are celebrated, they are exclusively devoted to 
gatherings of the people of the kind which we have come to know in the course of our 
long struggle. 

We will not allow mystically-minded occult folk with a passion for exploring the secrets 
of the world beyond to steal into our Movement. Such folk are not National Socialists 
but something else - in any case something which has nothing to do with us. . . . Our 
worship is exclusively the cultivation of the natural, and for that reason, because natural, 
therefore God-willed. Our humility is the unconditional submission before the divine 
laws of existence so far as they are know to us men: it is to these we pay our respect." - 
Nuremberg, 6th September 1938 

WELTANSCHAUUNG (A New Order) 

"Only if the leaders (Pan-German Movement) realised from the very first moment that 
here there was no question so much of a new Party as a new Weltanschauung. This 
alone could arouse the inner moral forces that were necessary for such a gigantic 
struggle. And for this struggle the leaders must be men of first class brains and 
indomitable courage. If the struggle on behalf of a Weltanschauung is not conducted by 
men of heroic spirit who are ready to sacrifice everything, within a short while it will 
become impossible to find real fighting followers who are ready to lay down their lives 
for the cause. A man who fights only for his own existence has not much left over for 
the service of the community. In order to secure the conditions that are necessary for 
success, everybody concerned must be made to understand that the new movement 
looks to posterity for its honour and glory but that it has no recompense to offer to the 
present-day members.” - Mein Kampf 


YOUTH 

"It is a glorious sight, this golden youth of ours." Adolf Hitler 

"I would not consider Germany's future so secure, if our race did not possess such fine 
children." 

- With Hitler on the Road to Power. Dr. Otto 

Dietrich 

"So as I come to the end of my speech want to ask something of those among you who 
are young. And for that there is a very special reason. The old parties train their youth 
in the gift of the gab, we prefer to train them to use their bodily strength. For I tell you: 
the young man who does not find his way to the place where in the last resort the destiny 
of his people is most truly represented, only studies philosophy and at a time like this 
buries himself behind his books or sits at home by the fire, he is no German youth! I 
call upon you! Join our Storm-Divisions! And however many insults and slanders you 
may hear if you do join, you all know that the Storm-Divisions have been formed for 
our protection, for your protection, and at the same time not merely for the protection of 
the Movement, but for the protection of a Germany that is yet to be. If you are reviled 
and insulted, good luck to you, my boys! You have the good fortune already at 18 or 19 
years of age to be hated by the greatest of scoundrels. 

What others can win only after a lifetime of toil, the highest gift of distinguishing 
between the honest man and the brigand, falls as a piece of luck into your lap while you 


are but youths. You can be assured that the more they revile you, the more we respect 
you. We know that if you were not there, none of us would make another speech. We 
know, we see clearly that our Movement would be cudgelled down if you did not protect 
it! You are the defence of the Movement that is called one day to re-model Germany in 
revolutionary fashion in order that there may come to birth what perhaps so many 
expected on the 9th November: A German Reich and a Germanic and, as far as in us 
lies, a German Republic. 

Every battle must be fought to the end - better that it come early than late. And he ever 
stands most securely who from the first goes to the fight with the greatest confidence. 
And this greatest confidence we can carry with us in our hearts. For he who on our side 
is today the Leader of the German people, God's truth! he has nothing to win but 
perhaps everything to lose. He who today fights on our side cannot win great laurels, far 
less can he win great material goods - it is more likely that he will end up in gaol. He 
who today is leader must be an idealist, if only for the reason that he leads those against 
whom it would seem that everything has conspired. 

But in that very fact there lies an inexhaustible source of strength. The conviction that 
our Movement is not sustained by money or the lust for gold, but only by our love for 
the people, that must ever give us fresh heart, that must ever fill us with courage for the 
fray. 

And as my last word, take with you this assurance; if this battle should not come, never 
would Germany win peace. Germany would decay and at the best would sink to ruin 
like a rotting corpse. But that is not our destiny. We do not believe that his misfortune 
which today our God sends over Germany has no meaning: it is surely the scourge 
which should and will drive us to a new greatness, to a new power and glory, to a 
Germany which will for the first time shall fulfil that which in their hearts millions of 
the best of our fellow-country-men have hoped for through the centuries and the 
millennia, to the Germany of the German people!" - 28th July 1932. Adolf Hitler Reden 
(ed. 1933) 

"The ideal of manhood has not always been the same even in our own people. There 
were times which now seem to us to be very distant and are for us almost 
incomprehensible when the ideal of the young man was the lad who could hold his beer 
and was good for a drink. And now his day is past and we like to see the young man 
who can stand all weathers, the strong, young man. It does not matter to us how many 
glasses of beer he can drink, but how many blows he can stand; not how many nights he 
can spend on a spree, but how many kilometres he can march. We no longer see in the 
loutish beer-drinker the ideal of the German people: that is to be found in men and girls 
who are sound to the core, who are sturdy." - Hitler Youth Speech, Nuremberg Parteitag 
Rally, 14th September 1935 

"The programme of our National Socialist Women's Movement has in truth but one 
single point, and that point is The Child - that tiny creature which must be born and 
should grow strong, for in the child alone the whole life-struggle gains its meaning ... It 
is a glorious sight, this golden youth of ours: we know that it is the Germany of the 
future when we shall be no more. What we create and construct, that youth will 
maintain. For youth we work; it is that fact which gives its significance to all this effort 
of ours.." - Nuremberg Parteitag, 8th September 1934 



"All that we do we do in the last resort for the child. Often we think we are caring for 
ourselves, for the folk of our own day, yet the deepest meaning of all our work and of 
our life is only this: that we may safeguard the life of our people. That is in the end the 
greatest, the fairest reward of all. " - Address to women, Parteitag, Nuremberg, 10th 
September 1937 

"When the great struggle for the new Germany began, I made it my purpose to detach 
the youth of Germany from the parties and give it to Germany. Today you must belong 
to Germany alone. And just as you belong to Germany, so must Germany be able to be 
proud of you, not collectively only but of each one individually. Therefore your task is 
not merely to form yourselves as a whole, but to shape each one of yourselves as 
individuals into a form which will allow Germany to see and look upon every one of 
you with pride. Every German youth, every German girl must be penetrated through 
and through with the sacred consciousness of your duty to become the representatives of 
our people." 

Perhaps with foreboding as the democracies manoeuvred for war: "We are facing 
stern times. The wind today flutters our banners, but in the next few years perhaps it 
will bring up over Germany many a cloud and many a storm, but nothing in this world 
must make us afraid! You, my German youth, must be the guarantors for the security of 
the existence and thus of the future of our German people." - May Day speech to 
German youth, 1935 

"In our eyes the German youth of the future must be slim and slender, swift as the 
greyhound, tough as leather, and hard as Krupp steel. We must educate a new type of 
manhood so that our people does not go to ruin amongst all the degeneracy of today. 
We do not talk, we act." - Hitler Youth Speech, Nuremberg Parteitag Rally, 14th 
September 1935 


EDUCATION 

"We shall not in the future neglect ten or fifteen years in our German education 
and then later be forced to make good what unfortunately has previously become 

bad." 

- Hitler Youth Speech, Nuremberg Parteitag Rally, 14th September 1935 

"The whole of education should be designed so as to occupy a boy's free time in 
cultivation of his body. He has no right to loaf about idly; but after his day's work is 
done he ought to harden his young body, so that life may not find him soft when he 
enters it. No one should be allowed to sin at the expense of posterity, that is, of the 
race.” - Mein Kampf 


THE LAW 


"We proclaim as our fundamental principle that everyone is equal before the law 
and before the judge." - Cited by Gurtner, Frankfurter Zeitung, 17th October 

1937 

"Further, there must be reform in our law. Our present law regards only the rights of the 
individual. It does not regard the protection of the race, the protection of the community 
of the people. It permits the befouling of the nation's honour and the greatness of the 
nation. A law which is so far removed from the conception of the community of the 
people is in need of reform." - 27th April 1923. Hitler's Speeches, Baynes. Royal 
Institute of International Affairs, 1942 

"A state is entitled to demand respect and protection of its authority only when such 
authority is administered in accordance with the interests of the nation, or at least not in 
a manner detrimental to those interests. The authority of the state can never be an end in 
itself ; for, if that were so, any kind of tyranny would be inviolable and sacred. If a 
government uses the instrument of power in its hands for the purpose of leading a 
people to ruin, then rebellion is not only the right but also the duty of every individual 
citizen." - Mein Kampf 

"We have begun the fight for a new justice: we wanted to restore confidence in our law 
courts. With this end in view we proclaimed the principle that everyone is equal before 
the law and before justice: even a member of the Cabinet must pay for his misdeeds." - 
Sportpalast, Berlin. 24th October 1933 

"Thousands of Americans, Englishmen and Frenchmen have visited Germany during the 
months after the national revolution and were able to testify as eye-witnesses that there 
is no country in the world where law and order are better maintained than in present-day 
Germany. That there is no country in the world where person and property are held in 
better respect than in our own, but that there is perhaps also no country in the word 
where a more rigorous fight is put up against those who believe that they are free to let 
loose their lower instincts to the detriment of their fellow-beings." - Adolf Hitler. 

WOMAN AND WOMEN S RIGHTS 

"Women have always been among my staunchest supporters. They feel that my 
victory is their victory. " - Adolf Hitler, New York Times, 10th July 1933 

"When after thirteen-months of imprisonment I was released, when the Party had been 
broken up, it was essentially the women-comrades who sustained the Movement. They 
did not allow themselves to be guided by any shrewd and reasonable calculations, but 
they acted as their hearts dictated, and through their emotions they have remained with 
me until today." - Nuremberg Parteitag, 13th September 1935 

"Women have always been among my staunchest supporters. They feel that my victory 
is their victory. They know I serve their cause in working to redeem German youth, to 
create a social order, to restore hope and health. 

The surplus of women is happily diminishing, and while our aims encourage women to 
marry and stay home, unmarried women are in free competition with men. Only 


military service, service on the bench and certain political posts are closed to women." - 
Interview Anne O'Hare McCormick, New York Times, 10th July 1933 

"Every child that a woman brings into the world is a battle, a battle waged for the 
existence of her people. Man and woman must therefore mutually value and respect 
each other when they see that each performs the task which Nature and Providence have 
ordained." - Nuremberg Parteitag, 8th September 1934 


"So our Women's Movement is not for us something which inscribes on its banner as its 
programme the fight against man but something which sets on its programme the 
common fight on women together with man .... we gained in millions of women our 
truest, our fanatical fellow-combatants, women who fought for the common life in the 
service of the common task of maintaining life ..." 

Nuremberg Parteitag, 8 th 


September 1934 


"In the Germanic nations there had never been anything else than equality of rights for 
women. Both sexes had their rights, their tasks, and these tasks were in the case of each 
equal in dignity and value; no distinction was made, and therefore man and woman were 
on an equality." - Nuremberg Parteitag, 13th September 1935 


"It is no degradation of woman that she should be a mother: that is her highest exaltation 
. . . the supreme immortality here upon the earth lies in the maintenance of the people 
and its national life." - Nuremberg Parteitag, 13th September 1935 


"The German woman can be assured that the coming generations of men will be in very 
truth the shield and shelter of their women. And men can have the encouragement of 
the certain knowledge that the German women of the future will be to them more than 
ever the truest of companions on the journey of their life." - Nuremberg Parteitag, 10th 
September 1935 


"I give women the same rights as men; but I do not think they are the same to the one as 
to the other. The woman is the life-partner of the man. She ought not to be burdened 
with the tasks for which man alone is made. But in every case where women do not 
marry - and there are many in Germany owing to the shortage of men - they have the 
right to earn their living just in the same way as any man." - Paris Soir, January 26th 
1936 


"The National Socialist state refuses to admit female labour in factories merely because 
such labour is cheap. There is, of course, a certain amount of industrial work which can 
only be performed by women, but an essential condition is that this sort of work should 
not be injurious to health." - Adolf Hitler 

"The phrase, 'Emancipation of Women' is only an invention of the Jewish intellect and 
its content is stamped with the same spirit. In the really good periods of German life the 
German woman never needed to emancipate herself." - Adolf Hitler 


"Millions of women love this new State, make sacrifices for it, work and pray for it. 
The sympathise by natural instinct with its mission of maintaining our people to which 
in their children they have themselves given a living pledge." - Reichstag, 13th July 
1934 


CLASS 

"You can look upon me as the man who does not belong to any class, who belongs 
to no rank." - Adolf Hitler, Siemenstadt, Berlin, 10th November 1933 

"... when the war came to an end, and I returned home from the military hospital.... I 
saw before me no bourgeoisie, no proletariat, no Catholics, no Protestants, not 
Bavarians, Saxons, or Prussians. I saw before me German fellow-countrymen, who 
belonged together by birth, blood, and destiny, and who had been set at variance by false 
education and by false teaching. The task of the future must now be to bring them 

together again.The Party, once so ridiculed, has not only won the control of 

Germany by legal methods; it has already realised in itself that community of the people 
which was the far vision of its final goal!" - Reichenberg, (to the Sudeten Germans) 2nd 
December 1938 

"And then we said to ourselves (at the formation of the movement) : there are no such 
things as classes : they cannot be. Class means caste and caste means race. If there are 
castes in India, well and good ; there it is possible, for there were formerly Aryans and 
dark aborigines. So it was in Egypt and in Rome. But with us in Germany where 
everyone who is a German at all has the same blood, has the same eyes and speaks the 
same language, here there can be no class, here there can be only one single people and 
beyond that nothing else. Certainly we recognise, just as anyone must recognise, that 
there are different 'occupations;' and 'professions' . . . but in the struggles which these 
stands ( guilds ) have amongst themselves for the equalisation of their economic 
conditions the conflict and the division must never be so great as to sunder the ties of 
race. 

And if you say 'But there must after all be a difference between the honest creators and 
those who do nothing at all' - certainly there must! That is the difference which lies in 
the performance of the conscientious work of the individual. Work must be the great 
connecting link, but at the same time the great factor which separates one man from 
another. The drone is the foe of us all. But the creators - it matters not whether they are 
brain-workers or workers with the hand - they are the nobility of our State, they are the 
German people.” - Hitler's Speeches, Baynes. Vol.l. The Institute of International 
Affairs. 1942 

"You can look upon me as the man who does not belong to any class, who belongs to no 
rank who stands above all that. I have nothing but the ties which bind me to the German 
people. For me every German is completely equal. What interest have I in the 
intellectuals, in the bourgeoisie, in the proletariat? I am interested only in the German 
people. To the people alone I belong and for the people I spend my energies." - 
Siemenstadt, Berlin, 10th November 1933 (Audience of workmen) 



"We in Germany have really broken with a world of prejudices. I, too, am a child of this 
people; I do not trace my line from any castle: I come from the workshop. Neither was I 
a general: I was simply a soldier, as were millions of others. It is something wonderful 
that amongst us an unknown from the army of the millions of the German people - of 
workers and of soldiers - could rise to the head of the Reich and of the nation." - Berlin, 
1st May 1937 

"We have not broken down classes in order to set new ones in their place; we have 
broken down classes to make way for the German people as a whole. Our education 
also trains men to respect intellectual achievement: we bring one to respect the spade, 
another to respect the compass or the pen. All now are but German fellow-countrymen, 
and it is their achievement which determines their value." - Adolf Hitler 

"The Movement does not ask, What are you? Who are you? Have you money? What 
have you learned? Whence have you come? Have you a fortune? Have you a business? 
Are you an employer or a workman? Or are you perhaps a Catholic or else a Protestant 
or some other creed? It puts but one question: Are you German and do you wish to be 
German? And that is to say, Are you decent and do you wish to be decent? Will you 
work as an honourable man in the midst of your people? Above all will you, if 
necessary, place the interests of your people before your own interests? If your answer 
is 'Yes', then we welcome you. But I will never allow anyone to divide this people once 
more into religious camps, each fighting the other." - Regensburg, 6th June 1937 

The results of class warfare are to be seen all around us and we wish to learn a lesson 
from them, for we have recognised one thing as necessary for the return of health to our 
nation: The German people must learn to know each other again. The millions who 
have been split up into professions and kept apart by artificial class distinctions, who, 
foolishly, clinging to profession and status, cannot understand each other any longer, 
must find once more the way to each other." - May Day 1933 

"The organisations of class-division, of class-hatred, and of class-war have on both sides 
been dissolved and swept away." - Adolf Hitler 

"In my will you will find one day that I ask that nothing be put on my tombstone save 
my name, Adolf Hitler. My title I create for myself with my name and my individuality: 
I ask titles from none: I receive no titles as a gift. Even Herr Hindenburg cannot give 
me a title. What can a title mean for me, what meaning can the words Chancellor of the 
Reich have for me?" - Berliner Tagblatt, 8th September 1932, The Times, 9th 
September 1932 


ECONOMIC OBSERVATIONS 

"... money only plays the part of the intermediary. It has no utility value of its 

own." 

- Reichstag, 20th February 1938 

First editions of Hitler's speeches were confiscated; later passages were 
'suppressed' and other parts are still censored: "We don't care a fig for your paper 


money. Give us something of value - gold! . . . you have defrauded us, you rogues and 
swindlers. An awakened people with its last thirty marks - all that is left of the millions 
of its glory - would buy a rope and with it string up 10,000 of its defrauders! Even the 
farmer will no longer sell his produce. When you offer him your million scraps of paper 
with which he can cover the walls of his closet on his dung-heap, can you wonder that 
he says, 'Keep your millions and I will keep my corn and butter.' 

The individual and the nation are delivered over to the international capital of the banks; 
despair seizes the whole people. We are on the eve of a second revolution. Some are 
setting their hopes on the star of the Soviet: that is the symbol of those who began the 
Revolution, to whom the Revolution has brought untold wealth, who have exploited it 
until today. It is the star of David, the sign of the Synagogue. The symbol of that race 
high over the world, of a lordship that stretches from Vladivostock to the West - the 
lordship of Jewry. The golden star which for the Jew means the glittering gold.' - 
August - September. Hitler's Speeches, Baynes. Royal Institute of International Affairs, 
1942 

"Economics is a secondary matter. World history teaches us that no people became great 
through economics: it was economics that brought them to their ruin. A people died 
when its race was disintegrated.” - Hitler's Speeches, Baynes. Vol.l. The Institute of 
International Affairs. 1942 

"But the Movement which is ready for its ideal to face the last encounter that will arise! 
Victory cannot fail us. For our just, our necessary fight against the dictatorship of the 
international Stock Exchange has as its sole aim the restoration of our passionately- 
loved German Fatherland." - August - September, 1923. Hitler's Speeches, Baynes. 
Royal Institute of International Affairs, 1942 

"In the sphere of economic life all action must be governed by one law; capital serves 
industry, and industry serves the people." : German economic salvation has been 
brought about solely through the efforts of the German people and the experience they 
have gained. Countries abroad have contributed nothing to this." : Germany's 
economic salvation was due solely to the nation's own efforts under its own leadership." 
: After the USA, Germany today is once more the leading steel producing country in the 
world." - Adolf Hitler 

"We have made it possible, without gold and without foreign exchange, to maintain the 
value of the German mark. Behind the German mark stands the German capacity for 
work, while some foreign countries, suffocated by gold, have been compelled to devalue 
their currencies." - Adolf Hitler 

"You will be visiting Japan, where goods that are flooding the world's markets are being 
manufactured under entirely different labour conditions. That will, one day also apply 
to Russia. The powers-that-be in Moscow will, if necessary, allow part of the populace 
to starve in order to maintain the export trade.” - Paris Soir, January 26th 1936 

"The reproach that world trade is declining as a result of the German method of barter 
trade can, if it is correct at all, only be addressed to those who are to blame for this 
development. They are those countries who by means of their currency manoeuvres 



arbitrarily destroy every fixed relationship between individual currencies in accordance 
with their own egotistical requirements. 

In these circumstances however the German system of exchanging something that has 
been turned out as an honest job of work for something equally honestly produced is a 
far more straightforward way of doing business than by payment in foreign currency, 
which a year later is devalued by so much percent." - 6th Anniversary Speech 

"The wage of a people has meaning only when it arises from production. Every increase 
in production should benefit the whole people and raise the people's standards of 
living." - Adolf Hitler 

"The State is not a plantation where the interests of foreign capital are supreme. Capital 
is not the master of the State, but its servant. Therefore the State must not be brought 
into dependence on international loan capital. And if anyone believes that cannot be 
avoided, then do not let him be surprised that no one is ready to give his life for this 
State. Further, that greatest injustice (international loan capital) must be corrected 
which today still weighs heavily upon our people and upon almost all peoples. If in a 
State only he who does honest work is a citizen, then everyone has the right to demand 
that in his old age he shall be kept free from care and want. That would mean the 
realisation of the greatest social achievement." - Munich. 20th April 1923. Hitler's 
Speeches, Baynes. Royal Institute of International Affairs, 1942 

In a speech which was to have been directed at America by wireless but which for 
technical reasons could not be transmitted, but the text of which was subsequently 
published, Hitler stated that "The National Socialist Party recognised private property, 
private contracts, and private debts, but it refused to recognise public debts, the tributes 
imposed upon Germany in order to keep it in a state of perpetual bankruptcy." - Le 
Temps , 13th December 1931 

In a statement to the United Press, July, 1931 Hitler stated that "The National 
Socialists did not believe it possible for Germany to fulfil the purely economic 
obligations which had been forced upon her." - Frankfurter Zeitung, 15th, July 1931 

"Fife is not a problem of financial speculations, but always only a problem of work. 
The folk community does not exist on the fictitious value of money, but on the results of 
productive labour, which is what gives money its value. This production, and not a 
bank or gold reserve, is the first cover for a currency." - Adolf Hitler 

"Capitalism and Bolshevism are the two sides of the same international Jewish coin." - 
Adolf Hitler 

"At the head of our National Socialist leadership there stands as watchword not 'theory', 
not 'money', not 'capital' but 'production'. Believe me, my fellow countrymen, it costs 
far more hard thinking, more effort and more concentration to devise and carry into 
execution a Four Year Plan whereby the necessities of life will be secured to our people 
than it would be to set the rotary machines in motion to print more paper money. It is a 
very simple matter to come before the people and to say, 'We are raising salaries, 



receipts, and wages'; then tomorrow we raise prices. It is very simple to say ' We lessen 
the hours of work, that is the amount of work done, and we raise the wages for that 
work'. That is perhaps popular for the moment. But the crash must come, for the 
individual does not live on a paper salary, but on the whole sum of the production of his 
fellow-countrymen. That is the first principle of all in National Socialist economic 
policy.” - Proclamation, Nuremberg Parteitag, Sept. 1937 

I am often asked what was the basis of the Third Reich's enviable prosperity? At 
this meeting Hitler said down three main economic aims : " A ruthless reduction of 
the huge German administrative apparatus, an equally ruthless throttling of imports, and 
the elimination of political obligations (reparations and exchange rate usury, &c.,) He 
advanced the theory that "If by not buying unnecessary foreign products, especially 
foodstuffs, a milliard marks (thousand-million) were kept in the country, it would 
stimulate the home market." - The Times, 5th December 1936 

"We have stripped money of its ghostly character. We have given it the part which it 
ought to play: not money and not reserves of foreign currency but work alone is the 
basis of money. There can be no increase in wages which does not go hand in hand with 
an increase in production." - Regensburg, 6th June 1937 

" . . . money only plays the part of the intermediary. It has no utility value of its own." - 
Reichstag, 20th February 1938 

RE CONSTRUCTION OF GERMANY 
"Today our achievements are so vast 
that the whole world has become interested in them." - Adolf Hitler 

"... the compulsory Labour Service is intended primarily to prevent the hundreds of 
thousands of our young working-men from helplessly drifting into ruins on our streets. 
But further, it is intended, through a general education into labour, to serve as a bridge 
between opposing classes. 

Anyone who travels on our highways in the summer meets an army of unemployed 
young persons always on the move, folk who journey aimlessly from place to place, and 
one can observe how physically and at the same time mentally and morally they are 
sinking lower and lower. 

It is precisely these young people whom we wish to safeguard from complete ruin, and 
as a National Socialist I also see in the compulsory Labour Service a means of 
producing respect for labour. Our young people will learn that labour ennobles man.” - 

rd 

Interview with Louis P. Lochner, Berlin Correspondent of the Associated Press on 23 
February 1933 

Re-Construction: "We must create an entirely new situation, so that we can reconstruct 
the press, the schools, the building industry and our political as well as our military 
might. Just as this reawakening requires a new press, so does our country require a new 
form of architecture. If we do not succeed in recreating something new, all that present 
day Germany will have to bequeath to coming generations will be five or six 
unprepossessing skyscrapers and thousands of department stores and hotels, all intended 
to fill Jewish moneybags." - Chicago Tribune , February 15th 1931 


"In five years we have transformed a people who were humiliated and powerless 
because of their internal disruption and uncertainty, into a national body, politically 
united, and imbued with the strongest self-confidence and proud assurance." - Adolf 
Hitler 

"Today in May, 1938, the world around us suffers from the anxiety which the 
unemployment of millions brings with it. In Germany we begin to be anxious because 
we have not enough workmen." 

- Paris Soir, January 
26th 1936 

"I want bread and work for my people. And certainly I do not wish to have it through 
the operation of credit guarantees, but through permanent labour, the products of which 
I can either exchange for foreign goods or for domestic goods in our internal 
commercial circulation. Germany has an enormous number of men who not only want 
to work but also to eat. I cannot build the future of the German nation on the assurances 
of a foreign statesman or on any international help, but only on the real basis of steady 
production, for which I must find a market at home and abroad." - Paris Soir, January 
26th 1936 

"In the course of carrying through our program for which we have calculated four years, 
two and one-quarter million out of 6 million unemployed have already received 
employment again within a period of eight short months." - Adolf Hitler 

THE PEOPLES CAR (VOLKSWAGEN) 

"Thus with the new People's Car the motorcar will cease to be the distinguishing mark 
of a class of society possessing higher incomes, it will more and more become the 
general means of transport for the whole German people." - Motor Exhibition, Berlin, 
18th February 1938 

NUREMBERG 

"Tomorrow there is to be laid the foundation stone of a Stadium such as the world has 
never seen. In two years at least the structure of the colossus of our Congress Hall will 
stand completed as our first granite monument will bear witness to the greatness of the 
idea which inspired it and bear witness also to the greatness of the whole layout of the 
new city." - Opening of the Parteitag, September 1937, Volkischer Beobachter, 8th 
September 1937 

THE MOVEMENT AND THE OPPOSITION 

"When 30th January came, we did not assume power in order under the shelter of this 
power to win the people: we were then already in possession of the German people. The 
sound core of the German people stood on that day already in our ranks. By that day the 
best of the German people had already fixed its choice on us. Only small-minded 
doubters or those without any understanding - it was these that still stood aloof. But 
even in these ranks by now beep breaches have been made." 


- 30th, January, 1936 (Third anniversary of the coming to 

power) 

"In fourteen years we have found no traces of freedom and brotherliness . . . when at any 
time in Germany has freedom been more gagged than in the last fourteen years? 
Intellectual freedom, the freedom of the Press, freedom of assembly, freedom to 
demonstrate - where were they? For fourteen years they have gagged the German 
people that was not willing without a protest to submit to ruination. 

Today their cry is that their Press has not sufficient freedom. All I had to do was issue 
against them their own decrees which they issued against us solely because we had 
taken our stand for Germany. 

I had only to treat their Press precisely as they had treated ours. Their meetings and 
demonstrations I had only to prohibit in much the same way as for fourteen years they 
had forbidden ours. And today it is they of all people who talk of freedom. 

We wish really to care for freedom when we seek to free the nation from those who 
never deserved this freedom." - Dortmund, 17th February 1933 in a bitter political 
attack against his opponents. 

FOREIGN VISITORS 

"I wish very much that your tourists would visit us not merely when sporting evens are 
on but also that they could visit the country, I mean the whole country. There will be no 
organised propaganda tours to conceal the truth from them. We shall not tell them that 
Germany is a paradise, for there is no such thing on earth. But your tourists can travel 
here unhampered and complete freedom and see for themselves that Germany lives in 
peace and order and at work. They will observe our revival, the efforts we are making 
and our good will for peace. That is all I hope." - Paris Soir, January, 26th, 1936 

LABOUR 

"All work which is necessary ennobles him who performs it. 

Only one thing is shameful. To contribute nothing to the community." - Adolf 

Hitler 

"Both those on the Right and those on the Left must learn that, in the community of the 
people, only he has a right to live who is prepared to work for the community of the 
people. Only when everyone takes upon himself his honest share of the duties which he 
owes to his people will some day once again a single bond of unity embrace all alike." - 
Adolf Hitler 

"Nothing falls into a man's lap from heaven. It is from labour that life grows." - Adolf 
Hitler 

"Social honour recognises no distinction between the employer and the unemployed. 
All of them work for a common purpose and are entitled to equal honour and respect." - 
Adolf Hitler 

They must re-leam mutual respect: the worker with the brain and the worker with the 
hand. Neither can exist without the other. They both belong together, and from them 


both must be crystallised a new man - the man of the German Reich which is to be." - 
Munich. 20th April 1923 

THE LAND 

“Hand workers faced with annihilation, an impoverished middle class, ruined industries, 
de-populated cities can be regenerated, but if the farmers as a class are destroyed they 
cannot be summoned back to life at will, even though thoughtless statesmanship should 
perhaps later recognise its earlier mistakes. The city dweller who loses his business can 
always found a new one, the farmer once driven from his land is generally, as a farmer, 
ruined forever.” - Harvest Thanksgiving, Buckeberg 7 th October 1933 

TRADE UNIONISM 

"But it is absurd and also untrue to say that the Trades Union movement is in itself 
hostile to the nation. The opposite is the more correct view. If the activities of the 
Trades Union are directed towards improving the conditions of a class, and succeed in 
doing so, such activities are not against the Fatherland or the State but are, in the truest 
sense of the word, national. In that way the trades union organisation helps to create the 
social conditions which are indispensable in a general system of national education. It 
deserves high recognition when it destroys the psychological and physical germs of 
social disease ands this fosters the general welfare of the nation. ." - Mein Kampf 

"As long as there are employers who attack social understanding and have wrong ideas 
of justice and fair play it is not only the right but also the duty of their employees - who 
are, after all, an integral part of our people - to protect the general interests against the 
greed and unreason of the individual." 

- Mein 
Kampf 

On Marxist-Trade Union physical intimidation: "The more I understood the methods 
of physical intimidation that were employed, the more sympathy I had for the multitude 
that had succumbed to it." - Mein Kampf 

The stupidity of the ruling class: "There were millions and millions of workmen who 
began by being hostile to the Social Democratic Party (the Marxists); but their defences 
were repeatedly stormed and finally they had to surrender. Yet this defeat was due to 
the stupidity of the bourgeois parties, who had opposed every social demand put forward 
by the working class. The short-sighted refusal to make an effort towards improving 
labour conditions, the refusal to adopt measures which would insure the workmen in 
case of accidents in factories, the refusal to forbid child labour, the refusal to consider 
protective measures for female workers, especially expectant mothers - all this was of 
assistance to the Social Democrat leaders, who were thankful for every opportunity 
which they could exploit for forcing the masses into their net. Our bourgeois parties can 
never repair the damage that resulted from the mistake they then made. For they sowed 
the seeds of hatred when they opposed all efforts at social reform. And thus they gave, 
at least, apparent grounds to justify the claim put forward by the Social Democrats - 
namely, that they alone stand up for the interests of the working class." - Mein Kampf 



EMPLOYERS RIGHTS AND WORKERS COMMITTEES 
Hitler In discussion on Socialism with Otto Strasser, 22nd May 1930: "... with 
what right do the workers demand a share in the possessions of the capitalist, not to 
speak of a share in control?" Turning to Herr Amann, the Party's Press Chief: 
"Would you be prepared to stand it if suddenly your typists began to criticise? The 
capitalists have worked their way to the top through their capacity, and on the basis of 
this selection, which again only proves their higher race, they have a right to lead. Now 
you want an incapable Government Council or Works Council which has no notion of 
anything to have a say: no leader in economic life would tolerate it." 

In the same conversation with Otto Strasser Hitler was asked what, if National 
Socialism came to power, he would do with the Krupp Company. Hitler replied: 

"But of course things would remain as they were. Do you think that I should be so mad 
as to destroy business life? Only if people should fail to act in the interests of the 
nation, then - and only then - would the State intervene. But for that you do not need 
any expropriation, you do not need to give the workers the right to have a voice in the 
conduct of the business: you need only a strong State which alone is in a position to 
determine its action solely from large considerations without regard to interested 
parties." 

Strasser argued that the Party Programme contained express reference to the 
'socialisation' of business. That if it was Hitler's intention to maintain capitalism 
he had no right to talk of Socialism. Hitler replied: "The term Socialism in itself is 
unfortunate, but it is essential to realise that it does not mean that these businesses must 
be socialised, it means only that they can be socialised if they offend against the 
interests of the nation. As long as they do not do that, it would be simply a crime to 
destroy business life." 

THE COMMON MAN, THE COMMON CAUSE 

"I have grown up from amongst yourselves; once I myself was a workman; for four and 
a half years I served amongst you in the War; I speak now to you whom I belong, with 
whom I still feel myself to be united and for whom in the last resort I fight ... I wage 
that fight for the millions of honest, industrious, working, creative people ... I was in 
my youth a worker as you are; through industry, through learning, and, I may say, also 
through hunger I slowly worked my way up. But in my innermost being I have always 
remained that which I once was." 

- Siemenstadt, Berlin, 10th November 1933 (Audience of 

workmen) 

FREEMASONRY 

"Who are after all the Freemasons? You have to distinguish two grades. To the lower 
grade in Germany belong the ordinary citizens who through the clap-trap which is 
served up to them can feel themselves to be "somebodies', but the responsible authorities 
are those many-sided folk who can stand any climate, those 300 Rathenaus who all 
know each other, who guide the history of the world over the heads of Kings and 
Presidents, those who will undertaken any office without a scruple, who know how 
brutally to enslave all peoples - once more the Jews!" 

- Munich, April 13th 1923. Hitler's Speeches, Baynes. Royal Institute of International 
Affairs, 1942 



Note. The Walter Rathenau referred to by Hitler was a major Jewish banker who 
bankrolled Leon Trotsky's revolutionary ambitions. Rathenau boasted "Three 
hundred men, all acquainted with each other, govern the fate of the European 
continent, and they elect their successes from their entourage." - Weiner Frei 
Presse, December 24 1909 

PROPERTY 

"And land we must insist, cannot be made an object of speculation. Private property can 
be only that which a man has gained for himself, has won through his work." - Munich. 
27th, Aprill923. Hitler's Speeches, Baynes. Royal Institute of International Affairs, 
1942 

CRIME 

"Without respect of person or descent, of caste, of calling, or of property, we have 
attacked corruption with vigour. We have really broken with the principle that one must 
indeed hang the small thief, but let the large thief go on his way unharmed." - New 
Year's Day 1934 

HOMOSEXUALITY 

"The National Socialist State is neither prudish nor mendacious. But there are definite 
moral principles which must be maintained in the interests of the biological health of the 
nation; violations of these principles we will not permit. Pederasty or offences against 
children will be punished by law in this State whoever commits these crimes. Five 
years ago when leaders of the National Socialist Party were guilty of these crimes, they 
were shot. (Ernst Roehm and his fellow-conspirators were discovered engaged in 
homosexual activity with youths). If other persons, whether in private or public life, or 
even if priests commit these offences, they will be punished according to law either with 
imprisonment or penal servitude." - Reichstag, 30th January 1939 

MORALITY 

"For fourteen years Germany suffered under a process of (democratic) decay which is 
unparalleled in our history. All values were overturned. 'Evil be thou my God' was the 
password. The hero was despised and the coward honoured, the upright were punished 
and the corrupt rewarded. The decent man could expect nothing but mockery, while the 
degenerate were lauded to the skies. Strength was condemned and weakness praised. 
Quality lost its value and was supplanted by quantity, goodness, which is rare, by evil, 
which is ubiquitous. The nation's past was scoffed at and its future denied. 

Those who had faith in the nation and its rights were attacked, scoffed at and reviled. 
Love of the beautiful gave way to a cult of all that was ugly and rotten. What was 
healthy was no longer the aim of human striving, and decedents and monstrosities 
became the heroes of a so-called new culture. 

The very existence of the nation was threatened by the undermining of all sound 
principles. Can anyone seriously believe that a nation can be kept in such a state of 
decay without eventually having to suffer the last consequences of complete collapse?" - 
Reichstag 30th January 1934 



"We wanted just as earnestly to fight for a better moral life: here, too, we have not been 
content with theories. We have in these months carried through an unheard of cleansing 
process, and this cleansing process is still proceeding." - Sportpalast, Berlin. 24th 
October 1933 

"We wish to fill or culture once more with the spirit of Christianity - and not only in 
theory. No, we want to burn out the symptoms of decomposition in literature, the 
theatre, in the Press - in a word in our whole culture; we want to burn out this whole 
poison which during these fourteen years has flowed into our life." - Stuttgart, 15th 
February 1933 

HEALTH 

"For he who despises bodily strength and health has already become the victim of a 
malformation of the intellect. Apart from exceptions which prove the rule, a truly 
upright and reasonable mind, in the long run, will dwell only in lusty, sound bodies." 
And true values : "For us the highest guide is the human type of the future whose 
radiant spirit has for its home a glorious body so that men, turning away from money 
and property, may once again find their way to ideal riches." - Gymnastic Display, 
Stuttgart, 30th July 1933 

STERILISATION 

It is interesting to note that our own society which provides sterilisation, the 
destruction of foetuses - parts of which are cannibalised, free contraception, and 
puts on the television menu the cooking and eating of the after-birth, should wax 
indignant at Hitler's proposal to eliminate the human tragedy of hereditary disease 
by a process of sterilisation. In context it might also be remembered that his was a 
period when the ravages of hereditary disease and the human tragedy and cost of 
bearing it was universal. 

To the Catholic Church which opposed the sterilisation of unfortunates passing 
hereditary diseases through the generations (a policy now considered normal and 
sensible in the western world), Hitler replied: 

"It would have been more to the point and more Christian, in past decades not to support 
those who intentionally destroyed healthy life (abortionists) than to rebel against those 
who have no other wish than to avoid disease. Moreover, a policy of laissez faire in this 
sphere is not only cruelty to the individual guiltless victims but also to the nation as a 
whole. If things continue to develop as they have done for the last hundred years the 
number of those under the care of the State would one day threaten to approach that of 
those who are, after all, the only maintenance of the community. It is not the churches 
who provide for the hosts of these unfortunates but the people that has to do so. If the 
churches were to declare themselves ready to take over the treatment and care of those 
suffering hereditary diseases, we should be quite ready to refrain from sterilising them. 
But so long as the State is condemned to raise from its citizens enormous sums which 
are increasing from year to year for the maintenance of these unfortunates, it is 
compelled to adopt the remedy which both prevents such an undeserving suffering being 
handed down to posterity, and also obviates the necessity of having to deprive millions 
of healthy people of what is absolutely necessary to them in order to artificially keep 


alive millions of unhealthy people." - 30th January 1934. Authorised English translation. 
Volkischer Beobachter, 31st January 1934 

ART AND CULTURE 

"For the Neanderthal men of art there is no place in the twentieth century - at 
least, not in National Socialist Germany." - Adolf Hitler, Exhibition of German 

Art, 10th July 1938 

"Perhaps the most devastating condemnation of the entire Dadaistic artistic activity of 
the last decades is to be found in the fact that the overwhelming majority of the people 
did not merely reject it but in the end ceased to show any interest for this kind of 
Jewish-Bolshevist mockery of art. 

The sole remaining admirers who still perhaps more or less believed in these follies 
were at last their manufacturers. In such circumstances the circle of those within a 
people who are interested in art could not well be smaller - it embraces the imbecile 
degenerates who, thank God, are still in the minority as well as those forces which are 
interested in the destruction of the nation . " - Nuremberg Parteitag, 11th September 
1935 

"Perhaps these so-called 'artists' really do see things that way, and believe in what they 
depict. If so, it would have to be ascertained whether their eye defects were due to 
mechanical circumstances or to heredity; in the one case it would be deeply lamentable 
for these poor fellows, in the second case important for the Home Office, which would 
then have to face the question of how to prevent the further inheritance of so gruesome a 
disturbance of the sight." - Adolf Hitler at the opening of the House of German Art, 18 
July 1937. Das Archiv, vol 40 469 

" .... we need reform in the sphere of art, literature and the theatre. The Government 
must see to it that its people are not poisoned. There is a higher right which is based on 
the recognition of that which harms a people, and that which harms a people must be 
done away with.' - 27th April 1923. Hitler's Speeches, Baynes. Royal Institute of 
International Affairs, 1942 

In answer to the question that art is a luxury which should not be indulged in at 
times of poverty and distress, the Fuhrer pointed out that unmaterialistic societies 
produced the finest art forms. "And those ages marked by profound religious feeling 
and most widely withdrawn from a material outlook could point to the greatest cultural 
creations, while on the other hand the Jews, infected through and through with 
capitalism and acting in its spirit, never possessed an art of their own and never will 
possess such an art. Although over long periods this people more than others often had 
at its disposal vast individual fortunes and material wealth, it could never rise to the 
production of a style of its own either in architecture or in music. Even for the building 
of its Temple in Jerusalem it owed the final plan to the help of foreign architects just as 
today the erection of most of its synagogues is entrusted to German, French, or Italian 
craftsmen." - Address on Art and Politics'; Nuremberg Parteitag, 11th September 1935 


In his speech delivered in the Reichstag on 30th January 1937 Hitler said, "... it 
was astonishing how much National Socialism had achieved in the cultural sphere - in 
books, newspapers, lectures, in art, the theatre, and the film 

Consider this fact alone: our entire German educational system, including the Press, the 
theatre, films, literature, &c., is today conducted and controlled exclusively by our 
German fellow-countrymen. 

How often were we told in the past that the removal of Jews from these institutions must 
lead to their collapse or their sterilisation! And what has actually happened? 

In all these spheres we are experiencing a vast flowering of cultural and artistic life. 
Our films are better than ever before. The productions in our leading theatres stand in 
lonely pre-eminence over those of the whole world. Our Press has become a mighty 
instrument in the service of our people's self-preservation. German science pursues its 
successful activity, while in architecture mighty evidences of our creative purpose will 
in the future bear witness to the achievements of this new age. There has been effected 
an unexampled immunisation of the German people against all the disintegrating 
tendencies from which another world is forced to suffer." - Reichstag, 30th January 
1937. 

CREATIVITY AND CULTURE 
THE ARYAN AND THE JEW 

"His is no master-people: he is an exploiter: the Jews are a people of robbers. He has 
never founded any civilisation, though he has destroyed civilisations by the hundred. 
He possesses nothing of his own creation to which he can point. Everything that he has 
is stolen. Foreign peoples, foreign workmen build him his temples, it is foreigners who 
create and work for him: it is foreigners who shed their blood for him. He knows no 
"people's army": he has only hired mercenaries who are ready to go to death on his 
behalf. (Note. During the Second World War the Fascists mockingly claimed the 
Jewish national anthem as being "Onward Christian Soldiers') 

He has no art of his own: bit by bit he has stolen it from all the other peoples or has 
watched them at work and then made his copy. He does not even know how merely to 
preserve the precious things that others have created: as he turns the treasures over in his 
hand they are transformed into dirt and dung. 

He knows that he cannot maintain any state for long. That is one of the differences 
between him and the Aryan. True, the Aryan also has dominated other peoples. But 
how? He entered on the land, he cleared the forests; out of the wildernesses he has 
created civilisations, and he has not used the others for his own interests. He has, so far 
as their capacities permitted, incorporated them into his State and through him art and 
science were brought to flower. In the last resort it was the Aryan and the Aryan alone 
who could form states and set them on the path to future greatness. 

All that the Jew cannot do. And because he cannot do it, therefore all his revolutions; 
must be 'international'. They must be spread as a pestilence spreads. He can build no 
State and say 'See here! Here stands the State, a model for all. Now copy us' 

He must take care that the plague does not die, that it is not limited to one place, or else 
in a short while this plague-hearth would burn itself out. For how long? Until the 
whole world sinks in ruins and brings him down with it in the midst of the ruins. That 
process in Russia is practically complete. The whole of present-day Russia has nothing 


to show but a ruined civilisation, a colony ripe for development through alien capital, 
and even this capital in order to supply resources of labour for its practical work must 
introduce Aryan intellects, since for this again the Jew is useless." - Hitler's Speeches, 
Baynes. Vol.l. The Institute of International Affairs. 1942 

Hitler went on to say: "It is a tragic fate; we have often grown excited over the death 
of a criminal; if an anarchist is shot in Spain we raise a mighty howl over 'the sacrifice 
of valuable human blood' . . . and here in the East thirty million human beings are being 
slowly martyred - done to death, some on the scaffold, some by machine-guns . . . 
millions upon millions through starvation ... a whole people is dying, and now we can 
perhaps better understand how it was possible that formerly all the civilisations of 
Mesopotamia disappeared without a trace so that one can only with difficulty find in the 
desert sands the remains of those cities. 

"We see how in our own day whole countries die out under this scourge of God, and we 
see how this scourge is threatening Germany too, and how with us our own people in 
mad infatuation is contributing to bring upon itself the same yoke, the same misery." - 
Hitler's Speeches, Baynes. Vol.l. The Institute of International Affairs. 1942 

"Art and science (in Austria) were in German hands. Apart from the new artistic trash , 
which might easily have been produced by a Negro tribe, all genuine artistic inspiration 
came from the German section of the population." - Mein Kampf 

"Any country that is founded only on the intellectual classes is built on a weak 
foundation. I know the intellectual - always indulging in sophistry, always probing and 
searching, but always wavering and uncertain, mobile but never sure." - 10th May 1933. 

ENTERTAINMENT AND THE MEDIA 
"Spreading poison among the people through the instrumentality of the theatre 
and the cinema, gutter journalism and obscene books." - Adolf Hitler 

"Day after day the bourgeois world are witnesses to the phenomenon of spreading 
poison among the people through the instrumentality of the theatre and the cinema, 
gutter journalism and obscene books; and yet they are astonished at the deplorable 
'moral standards' and 'national indifference' of the masses. As if the cinema bilge and 
the gutter press and suchlike could inculcate knowledge of the greatness of one's 
country, apart from the earlier education of the individual." - Mein Kampf 

HOLLYWOOD 

"Announcements by American film companies that they intend to produce anti-Nazi - 
that is anti-German - films, can but induce us to produce anti-Semitic films in Germany 
. . . We believe that if the Jewish international campaign of hatred by press and 
propaganda could be checked, good understanding could very quickly be established 
between the peoples. It is only such elements that hope steadfastly for war." - 
Reichstag, 30th January, 1939 


JEWISH-AMERICAN INSPIRED BOYCOTT OF GERMAN TRADE 

“I know that a certain type of international journalist pours forth his lies day after day, 
and covers us with his suspicions and his slanders. That does not surprise me, for I 
know these creatures: some of them were in Germany. They are also an article of export 
but only as the spoiled goods of the German nation. 

In the American Union a boycott of German goods was organised; it would have been 
more sensible to have imported German goods rather than these most inferior German 
blackguards. We can at least be glad to be rid of these goods! How the others will get 
rid of them is their affair. They shall not be a danger to us, we shall take care: for that I 
have already taken care. 

I do at least know my political ‘friends’ from the time before we came to power, folk 
who were at the time always declaring that they knew no Fatherland. That too is true, 
for they are Jews and therefore have nothing to do withus. 

Naturally these folk nowonly confirm their former views, their old confession of faith. 
They agitate against Germany by every meansin their power and I - arm with every 
means in my power.” - Berlin, May Day 1939 

THE WAR OR WORDS 

In acerbic wit none were sharper than the German Leader who excelled himself when 
opportunity arose to mock the black propaganda and subversive literature of Germany’s 
enemies. 

“Vast works are being created here, mighty industries are arising, great buildings are 
being called into life for the invigoration of our people, mighty architectural proofs of 
what our civilisation can produce have begun not only here in Berlin but in a great 
number of other German cities. What have we not created this year? What have we not 
begun this year? And how many of these works will need ten or twenty years before 
they are completed? I then have good reason enough to wish for peace. 

But these agitators have no use for peace; since they create nothing for peace. I do not 
need to mention any names: we know quite well these international scribblers. They are 
so monstrously clever! They know positively everything. 

Only one thing they did not know - that I was coming to power. That they did not know 
even in January 1933. They did not know one thing more: that I should stay in power: 
that they did not believe even in February 1933. They did not know that I would set 
Germany free: they did not believe that - no, not even in 1935 or 1936. They did not 
know further that I should set free our German fellow-countrymen and bring them back 
into our homeland: that they did not know even in 1937 and 1938. That I should 
liberate the few Germans who yet remained to be liberated, that they did not know even 
in February of this year. They have not known that I should end the unemployment of 
seven millions: they did not know that three years ago: they never believed it two years 
ago. That I should carry through a Four Year Plan in Germany they did not know. They 
knew absolutely nothing, but apart from that they know absolutely everything.” 

I don’t know how it is; these folk have always been parasites, but sometimes it really 
almost seems as if they must be a special breed of brain-parasites - they know for 
instance precisely what is going on in my brain. What I would say, for example, in the 
speech which I am making before you now, they already knew that down to the smallest 
detail yesterday. Even before I knew myself, they already knew it, these vessels of 
wisdom! There is nothing which these creatures do not know. And they have the 



brazen impudence as soon as their assertions have been proved to be lies straightaway to 
produce new ones in their place. That is an old trick of the Jew! It does not give men 
any time to think over the last lie. For if men were given time to consider their former 
prophecies and how things fell out far otherwise then they would never again give them 
a penny for their thoughts - their lying reports. 

But that is precisely their strategy, their trick: hardly has one prophecy been falsified 
before they cap it with three new ones. And thus lie follows lie on a snowball system - 
one today, another lie tomorrow, a third the next day. 

The most recent lie is that the 20,000 Germans (refugees) who previously should have 
landed in Morocco have now landed in Liberia. Those who should have landed in 
Morocco were to have been conveyed in part by aeroplane; clearly they have spent the 
whole interval flying around in the air until they finally came down in Liberia. In a 
week of course it will be discovered that there are no German in Liberia: and then they 
will say: ‘It was not Liberia, but Madagascar where they wanted to go.’ 

And if it is not that, then it is - these war-mongers who produce nothing, who in any 
event cannot come before the world and say ‘I have created this or that’ - it is they who 
want to scourge the peoples once more into ruin.” - Berlin, May Day 1939 


"There is only one power which really counts. The power of political pressure. We 
Jews are the most powerful people on earth, because we have this power, and we 
know how to apply it." - Jewish Daily Bulletin, July 27th 1935 


NATIONAL SOCIALIST MUSIC 

"The songs of the National Socialist Revolution are not directed against other nations. 
They are songs of fraternity at home, denouncing class war and selfish pretensions, 
aspiring to work and daily bread and exalting the national honour." - 18th October 1933 
Interview with G. Ward-Price. 

JEWISH INFLUENCE IN THE THEATRE 

"One needed only to look at the posters announcing the hideous productions of the 
cinema and theatre, and study the names of the authors who were highly lauded there in 
order to become permanently adamant on Jewish questions. 

Here was a pestilence, a moral pestilence from which the public was being infected. It 
was worse than the Black Plague of long ago. 

And in what mighty doses this poison was manufactured and distributed. Naturally, the 
lower the moral and intellectual level of such an author of artistic products the more 
inexhaustible his fecundity. Sometimes it went so far that one of these fellows , acting 
like a sewage pump, would shoot his filth directly in the face of other members of the 

human race.It was a terrible thought, and yet it could not be avoided, that the greater 

number of Jews seemed specially designed by Nature to play this shameful part." - Mein 
Kampf 

"The fact that nine-tenths of all the smutty literature, artistic tripe and theatrical 
banalities, had to be charged to the account of people who formed scarcely one per cent 





of the nation - that fact could not be gainsaid. It was there. It had to be admitted. - 
Mein Kampf. 


THE VERSAILLES TREATY 

"The Treaty of Versailles is founded on a monstrous lie." Adolf Hitler 

The injustices of the Versailles Treaty imposed on the defeated German nation has 
since been universally recognised as a major cause in bringing about the Second 
World War. Hitler with characteristic clarity foresaw unfolding events. 

The claim that Hitler - sometimes claimed to be Goering - charged never to go to a 
conference without a pistol, as so often, is the truth turned upside-down. The 
defeated Germany of 1918, on assurances of good intent and equal status, went to 
the Versailles Conference disarmed at which point the iniquitous terms of the 
Treaty were spelled out to them. "As soon as the German nation had laid down its 
arms it was not even invited to the conference table, but, in violation of all assurances, 
was made to suffer the worst breaking of a word that had ever been known. The 
representatives of the German nation trusting in the solemn assurances of the American 
President, had laid down their arms and therefore appeared unarmed . . . they were 
subjected to greater degradations than those inflicted on the chieftains of the Sioux 
tribes. The German delegates were insulted by the mob, stones were thrown at them, 
and they were dragged like prisoners, not to the council table of the world, but before 
the tribunal of the victors; and there, at pistol's point, they were forced to undergo the 
most shameful subjection and plundering that the world had ever known. I can assure 
you, Mr. Roosevelt, that I am steadfastly determined to see to it that not only now, but 
for all future time, no German shall ever enter a conference table defenceless, but that 
for all times and forever every German negotiator should and shall have behind him the 
united strength of the German nation, so help me God.” - Hitler's Reply to Roosevelt; 
Reichstag, 28th April 1939 

When giving evidence at the trial of Reichswehr officers in Leipzig, September 
1930. “Germany is bound hand and foot by Peace Treaties. The whole of German 
legislation today is nothing else than the attempt to anchor the Peace Treaties to the 
German people. The National Socialists do not regard these treaties as law, but as 
something imposed upon Germany by constraint. We do not admit that future 
generations who are completely innocent should be burdened by them. If we protest 
against them with every means in our power then we find ourselves on the path of 
revolution.” 

President of the Court: “With illegal means too.” 

Hitler: “I presuppose for the moment that we have won the day: then we shall fight 
against the treaties with every means, even from the point of view of the world, with 
illegal means,.” - Frankfurter Zeitung 26 September 1930 

“No people, I do not care who they are, can endure such conditions, carry such burdens, 
be conscious that they, their children and their children’s children are foreign tribute 
slaves and yet retain their self-respect. It is impossible. 


Even a camel will lie down and refuse to move, even a horse will baulk when cruelly 
overloaded. Why should not a people revolt against burdens they know they cannot 
carry, after having given the world the sincerest proof of their loyal efforts to do so? 
Instead of proving to the world that Germany cannot carry the enormous burdens (of the 
Versailles Treaty) and live decently, the German political parties have been 
endeavouring to keep up the impression abroad that she can and will pay what is 
demanded. 

We, the National Socialists, demand the revision of the Versailles Treaty. We demand 
the revision of the Young Plan. We demand the return to us of the Polish Corridor, 
which is like a strip of flesh torn from our body. It cuts Germany into two. It is a 
national wound that bleeds continuously, and will continue to bleed until our land is 
returned to us. 

All this s founded on the hypocritical basis that Germany was guilty of causing the 
world war. The National Socialists reject that accusation. It is untrue. It has been 
thoroughly exploded, but all Germany is suffering from the Versailles Treaty and the 
Young Plan, which are based on that accusation. 

The National Socialist Movement proposes to rouse all Germans against this injustice, 
to rouse them to say unitedly that there shall be ‘No more.’ 

President Wilson solemnly promised the German people that if they laid down their 
arms and overthrew the Imperial regime they would not be held responsible for the War, 
and no indemnities would be laid on them. That promise and others were broken in the 
most contemptuous manner. 

‘Indemnities’ were renamed ‘reparations’. 

If the German people must suffer as they are suffering today and will be suffering 
tomorrow, then let us have that suffering that may come from saying ‘no’ rather than 
that laid on us by saying ‘yes’. 

- This is an abridged article that appeared in the Sunday Express September 1930 which 
is as far as is known the only article of the Fuhrer’s which appeared in an English 
newspaper. 

“I am of the opinion that there is nothing which has been produced by the will of man 
which cannot in its turn be altered by another human will.” - speech to the Industry 
Club, Dusseldorf, 27 th January 1932 

In 1939 looking back at the Party's beginnings: "And then as an unknown soldier of 
the World War I took up my position. It was a very short and simple programme: 
removal of the domestic enemies of the nation, putting an end to the dis-union of 
Germany, unification of the whole national strength of our people in a new community 
and the breaking in pieces by one means or another of the Peace Treaty. For so long as 
this 'Diktat' of Versailles lay heavy upon the German people it was in fact, doomed to 
perish." - 1st April, 1939. Wilhelmshafen 

"Thus we were the first to declare that this Peace Treaty was a crime. Then folk abused 
us as 'agitators'. We were the first to protest against the failure to present this Treaty to 
the people before it was signed. Again we were called 'agitators'. We were the first to 
summon men to resistance against being reduced to a continuing state of 
defencelessness. Once more we were 'agitators'. At the time we called on the masses of 



the people not to surrender their arms, for the surrender of one's arms would be nothing 
less than the beginning of enslavement. We were called, no, we were cried down as 
'agitators'. We were the first to say this meant the loss of Upper Silesia. So it was, and 
they still called us 'agitators'. We declared at the time that compliance in the question of 
Upper Silesia must have as its consequences the awakening of a passionate greed which 
would demand the occupation of the Ruhr. We were cried down ceaselessly, again and 
again. And because we opposed the mad financial policy which today will lead to our 
collapse, what was it we were called repeatedly once more? Agitators'. - Adolf Hitler 

"The thought of restoring an all-round perception of justice has been destroyed by the 
(Versailles) Treaty. To activate all the provisions of this edict, Germany has to be 
stamped with the mark of guilt. This is simply an impossible process. In future 
discussions, the question of guilt shall always be borne by the defeated because the 
victor always has the power to effect that certainty." - Reichstag Speech, 17th May 
1933 

"It was not Germany that unilaterally broke the Versailles Treaty - it was unilaterally 
broken by those powers who could not decide to carry out in their turn the disarmament 
which was imposed on Germany and which, in accordance with the Treaty, should have 
been followed by them. The Versailles Dictate was thus rendered invalid in regard to 
the points at issue." - Adolf Hitler 

"When the German people trusting to the promises made by President Wilson in his 
Fourteen Points, laid down their arms in November, 1918, a fateful struggle thereby 
came to an end for which perhaps individual statesmen, but certainly not the peoples 
themselves could be held responsible. The German nation put up such an heroic fight 
because it was sincere in its conviction that it had been wrongfully attacked and was 
therefore justified in fighting . . . the Peace Treaty of Versailles did not seem to be for 
the purpose of restoring peace to mankind, but rather to perpetuate hatred.” - Adolf 
Hitler 

After recounting the humiliations, the loss of sovereignty and the restriction of the 
Treaty Hitler said : "As long as this Treaty stands there can be no resurrection of the 
German people; no social reform of any kind is possible. The Treaty was made in order 
to bring 20 million Germans to their deaths and to ruin the German nation." - Munich. 
17th April 1923 

"The Treaty of Versailles is founded on a monstrous lie. We refuse to carry out its 
terms any longer. Do what you will! If you wish for war, go and get it! Then we shall 
see whether you can turn seventy million Germans into serfs and slaves. 

If cowards cry out: 'But we have no arms!' That is neither here nor there. When the 
whole German people knows one will only - to be free - in that hour we shall have the 
instrument with which to win our freedom. When the eyes of German children look 
questioning into ours, then we shall see the suffering and distress of millions of our 
fellow-countrymen who without any fault of theirs have fallen into this frightful 
misfortune, then we shall laugh at the curses of the whole world, if from these curses 
their issues the freedom of our race." - 1st August 1923 



"France does not desire reparations, she desires the annihilation of Germany: it means 
for her the fulfilment of a very old dream - the hegemony of France over Europe. 
Reparations are nothing else than a 'legal instrument' by which under the appearance of 
legality one can ruin a State, one can break up the internal unity of a people, and in the 
place of the single State can establish a conglomeration of small States, each exhausting 
the energies of the other." - 4th May 1923. Hitler's Speeches, Baynes. Royal Institute of 
International Affairs, 1942 

Who are the real despoilers of the Versailles Peace Treaty? "... after the Peace 
Treaty of Versailles fourteen wars were waged between 1919 and 1938 alone, in none of 
which Germany was concerned, but in which States of the 'western hemisphere', in 
whose name President Roosevelt speaks, were indeed concerned. In addition there were 
in the same period twenty-six violent interventions and sanctions carried through by 
means of bloodshed and force. Germany also played no part whatsoever in these. The 
United States alone has carried out military interventions in six cases since 1918. Since 
1918 Soviet Russia has engaged in ten wars and military actions involving force and 
bloodshed. Again, Germany was concerned in none of these, nor was she the cause of 
any of these events.” - Hitler's Reply to Roosevelt, 28th April 1939 

THE LIBERATION OF THE RHINELAND FROM FRENCH OCCUPATION 

"When last year I gave the order to re-occupy the Rhineland the decisive factor was not 
that the soldiers marched, but that the German people went with them, that the whole 
nation took its stand behind me. That is the fact to which you owe your success." - 
Harvest Festival, Buckeberg, 3rd October 1937 

THE LEAGUE OF NATIONS 

On Germany's departure from the forerunner to the United Nations: ".... then I 
would point out that the League has never been a real league of peoples. A number of 
great nations do not belong to it or have left it. And nobody on this account asserted 
that they were following a policy of isolation. I should also like to call attention to the 
fact that up to now the outstanding feature of the League of Nations has been talk rather 
than action.” - Reichstag speech, Fourth Anniversary. 

RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE FIRST WORLD WAR 

"Who were the real rulers of Germany in 1914 to whom war guilt might be attributed? 
Not the Kaiser, not the Pan-Germans, but Messrs. Ballin, Bleichroder, Mendelssohn, 
&c., a whole brood of Hebrews who formed the unofficial government. And in 1914 
the real ruler of the Reich was Herr Bethmann-Hollweg, a descendant of a Jewish family 
of Frankfurt - the genuine article (wasschect - 'However much you washed him the 
colour wouldn't run) - Adolf Hitler 

AMERICAN AGGRESSION 

“It seems to me that in almost every war both sides claim a case of unquestionable home 
defence. But there is hardly any possibility of doubt that America’s entry into the Great 
War was not a case of unquestionable home defence. A research committee set up by 
President Roosevelt himself has examined the causes of America’s entry into the Great 



War, and reached the conclusion that the entry ensued chiefly for exclusively capitalistic 
reasons. Nevertheless no practical conclusions have been drawn from this fact. Let us 
hope that at least the United States will in the future itself act according to this noble 
principle, and will not go to war against any country except in the case of 
unquestionable home defence.” - Hitler’s Reply to Roosevelt, Reichstag, 28 th April 
1939 


FOREIGN POLICY 

"Respect everyone's country, but love your own." - Adolf Hitler 

In thirty years research I have never discovered a single anti-British statement 
uttered or written by Adolf Hitler, nor am I aware of any such that could remotely 
be interpreted as a threat to British interests. I am unaware of any such 
belligerency being shown by Germany towards other nations including Poland. 
On the other hand Britain's political leaders, its Press and establishment have 
consistently abused the German leader and his legitimate Government, threatened 
Germany's security, and interfered in its internal affairs. I have challenged 
political historians to prove otherwise without any having done so far. Michael 
Walsh 

“I have been represented as having made bloodthirsty and firebrand speeches against 
foreign countries, and now the world is surprised by my moderation. (Frankfurter 
Zeitung 3 ld February 1934). I never delivered firebrand speeches against foreign 
counties - even my speeches of ten years ago can testify to that. Anyone like myself 
who knows what war is is aware of what a squandering of effort, or rather consumption 
of strength, is involved.” - Interview with British and American journalists 2 nd February 
1933 

"And precisely because we are nationally minded, for that very reason we have respect 
for the national feelings of other peoples. And our national pride does not mean that we 
scorn other peoples, it means that we respect and love our own people. It is precisely 
the Internationalists who prevent other peoples from coming to understand one another." 
- 1st August 1923. Hitler's Speeches, Baynes. Royal Institute of International Affairs, 
1942 

"I am no new advocate of an Anglo-German understanding. In Germany I have made 
between four and five thousand speeches to small, large and mammoth audiences, yet 
there is no single speech of mine, nor any line that I have written, in which I have 
expressed anything contrary to this concept or against an Anglo-German understanding. 
Such an agreement between England and Germany would represent the weight of 
influence for peace and common sense of 120,000,000 of the most valuable people in 
the world. The historically unique colonial aptitude and the naval power of Britain 
would be combined with one of the first military nations of the world. If this 
understanding could be still further enlarged by the adhesion of the American nation, it 
would be absolutely impossible to see who in the world could disturb a combination for 
peace which would never, of set purpose or intent, neglect the interest of the white 


people." - Extract of letter sent by Hitler to Lord Rothermere, Daily Mail, 4th September 
1937 

"I have not demanded one square mile more than we formerly possessed and which was 
stolen from us. This means therefore that only that territory has returned to the German 
Reich which had been torn from us by the madmen who dictated peace terms at 
Versailles." - Reichstag, 28th April 1939 

“Unless England attacks us, we shall never come into conflict with England on the 
Rhine or anywhere else. We want nothing from England.” 

“Not even colonies?” Mr Ward Price asked . . . 

“I would not sacrifice the life of a single German to get any colony in the world. We 
know that the former German African colonies are costly luxuries even for England.” - 
Interview with G. Ward Price, journalist, 5 th August 1934 

THE BRITISH EMPIRE 

“He (Adolf Hitler) accepts the British Empire and is ready to pledge himself personally 
for its continued existence and to place the power of the German Reich at its disposal if- 
His colonial demands, which are limited and can be negotiated by peaceful methods, are 
fulfilled and in this case h is prepared to fix the longest time limit. 

The Fuhrer is ready to conclude agreements with England which, as has already been 
emphasised, would not only guarantee the existence of the British Empire in all 
circumstances as far as Germany is concerned, but also if necessary an assurance to the 
British Empire of German assistance regardless of where such assistance should be 
necessary. 

If the British Government would consider these ideas, a blessing for Germany and also 
for the British Empire would result. If it rejects these ideas there will be war. In no case 
(victory or defeat) would Great Britain emerge stronger; the last war proved this.” - 
Communication handed and verbally read out to Sir Neville Chamberlain, British 
Ambassador, 1.30pm 25 th August 1939. 

As so often the German leader’s prophecy was proved right. 


‘‘There is no human being living whose promise on important matters I would 
trust more readily”. - Viscount Rothermre, 'Warnings and Predictions', p.180 -

EUROPEAN STABILITY 

"We National Socialists believe that in the long run man can be happy only in his own 
nation. We live in the belief that the happiness and the achievements of Europe are 
indissolubly connected with the existence of a system of free, independent national 
States." - Reichstag, 21st May 1935 



"What Europe needs is the friendly rivalry of well-organised States." - Franfurter 
Zeitung, 13th September 1936 

"National Socialism has no aggressive intentions against any European nation. On the 
contrary, we are convinced that the nations of Europe must continue their characteristic 
national existence, as created by tradition, history and economy; if not, Europe as a 
whole will be destroyed." - Adolf Hitler, Party Rally, 11 September 1935 

“The increase in Britain’s air fleet does not cause the slightest resentment in Germany. 
You can double, quadruple, your air force, or expand your fleet to any strength you like. 
It does not concern us, since we have no intention of attacking you.” 

We are building aeroplanes,” Mr. Ward Price said, “because we believe that, just as 
before the Great war, Germany created a huge naval fleet, so now she is creating a huge 
air fleet.” 

Hitler replied: “You did not feel menaced when France built a great air fleet. Why 
should Germany’s measures of self-defence alarm you? I assure you that Britain lies 
right outside our calculations. 

Such steps as we are taking are meant to deal with the fact that we are surrounded on the 
Continent by a ring of potential powerful foes who may some day make demands of us 
that we cannot accept. 

It is not the extent of armaments that produces danger of war, but inequality of 
armaments. This encourages the stronger nation to entertain ambitions which the 
weaker cannot tolerate. . . . “ - Interview with G. Ward Price, journalist, 5 th August 1934 

“If it rests with Germany war will not come again. This country has a more profound 
impression than any other of the evil that war causes. Ninety-five per cent Of the 
Members of the National Administration have had personal experience of its horrors. 
They know that it is not a romantic adventure but a ghastly catastrophe. It is the 
disciplined conviction of the National Socialist Movement that war can benefit no one, 
but only bring general ruin in its train. 

To us war would offer no prizes; 1918 was for us a lesson and a warning. We only ask 
that our present frontiers shall be maintained. Believe me, we shall never fight again 
except in self-defence, (note In this respect Hitler was of course true to his word). - 
Interview with G. Ward Price, journalist, 5 th August 1934 

“Germanic nations such as ours ought to be friends by sheer force of natural instinct. 
The National Socialist Movement would regard war between Germany and England as a 
racial crime.” - Daily Mail, 6 th August 1934 Interview with G. Ward Price, journalist, 5 th 
August 1934 

"No European war would make it possible to replace the unsatisfactory state of affairs 
today by something better. On the contrary, neither politically nor economically would 
the application of force result in creating a more favourable situation that the present 
one." - Adolf Hitler, Speech in the Reichstag, 17 May 1933 


TRADE WARS 



"What cause had America to enter the (1914-1918) War against Germany? With the 
outbreak of the World War which Judah had desired so passionately and so long, all the 
large Jewish firms of the United States began supplying ammunitions. They supplied 
the European war-market to an extent which perhaps even they themselves had never 
dreamed of - a gigantic harvest! 

Yet nothing satisfied the insatiable greed of the Jew. And so the venal Press which 
depended on the Stock Exchange kings began unparalleled propaganda campaign. A 
gigantic organisation for newspaper lying was built up. And once more it is a Jewish 
concern, the Hearst Press, which set the tone of the agitation against Germany. The 
hatred of those 'Americans' was not directed solely against commercial Germany or 
against military Germany. It was directed especially against social Germany, because 
this Germany had up to that time kept itself out of the principles which governed the 
world-trusts. 

The old Reich had at least made an honourable attempt to be socially minded and we 
had to show for ourselves such an initiative in social institutions as no other country in 
the whole world could boast. In the building of houses and factories attention was 
generally paid to hygiene, to places of washing, to light, to air - in contrast with the 
November-Republik whose 'housing offices' crowd people together in dog kennels. The 
old Reich built schools, hospitals and scientific institutions which aroused the wonder 
and the envy of the whole world. 

That the old Reich was in this sense 'social' that it did not allow itself to regard its 
people merely as numbers - this is what constituted its greatest danger to the supporters 
of the World Stock Exchange. For this reason the Jewish Press of America had to 
accomplish its masterpiece - that is to say, it had to drive into the most horrible of all 
wars a great peace-loving people which was as little concerned in European struggles as 
it was in the North Pole. . . . Americans were persuaded to do so by an atrocity 
propaganda conducted in the name of civilisation which from A to Z was a scandalous 
invention the likes of which has never yet been seen - a farrago of lies and forgeries. 
Because this last State in the world where social aims were being realised had to 
destroyed, therefore twenty-six peoples were incited one against the other by this Press 
which is exclusively in the possession of one and the same world-people, of one and the 
same race, and that race on principle the deadly foe of all national States." - Munich, 
April 13 th 1923 

* It is interesting to note that on the 1st September, 1939, the day war was declared 
on Germany, the US and British stock market dealings soared and the slump 
officially ended. 

GERMAN COLONIES 

“Germany contains too many people for her size, and it is to the interest of the world 
that a great nation should not be deprived of the conditions of existence. But we shall 
never go to war to get colonies. We are convinced that we are as capable as any other 
nation of administering and developing colonial territories. But we regard this as a 
matter of negotiation.” - Adolf Hitler interview. G. Ward-Price, 18 th October 1933 

"The great colonial possessions, which the Reich once acquired peacefully by treaties 
and by paying for them, have been stolen, contrary indeed to the solemn assurances 


given by President Wilson which were the basic condition on which Germany laid down 
her arms." - Reichstag, 30th January 1939 

"In and outside Europe Germany lost (through reparations - a euphemism for looting the 
vanquished) approximately three million square kilometres of territory, and that in spite 
of the fact that the whole German Colonial Empire, in contrast to the colonies of other 
nations, was not acquired by way of war, but solely through treaties or purchase.” - 
Hitler's Reply to Roosevelt; Reichstag, 28th April 1939 

COLONIALISATION (CONDEMNATION OF) 

Answering Roosevelt’s charge that an (unidentified) Africa nation had its 
independence curtailed by Germany: “As for the fact, however, that one nation in 
Africa is alleged have lost its freedom - that too is but an error; for it is not a question of 
one nation in Africa having lost its freedom - on the contrary practically all the previous 
inhabitants of this continent have been made subject to the sovereignty of other nations 
by bloody force, thereby losing their freedom. Moroccans, Berbers, Arabs, Negroes, 
&c., have all fallen victim to a foreign might, the swords of which, however, were not 
inscribed ‘Made in Germany’, but ‘Made by the Democracies’.” - Hitler’s Reply to 
Roosevelt, Reichstag 28 th April 1939 

HITLER'S QUEST FOR PEACE 

"The assertion that Germany affected to conquer the world was ridiculous." 

- Hitler's Communication to Sir. Nevile Henderson, 25th August 1939 

A Study of War by Prof. Quincy Wright, shows that in the period from 1480 to 
1940 there were 278 wars involving European countries whose percentage 
participation was as follows: England 28%, France 26%, Spain, 23%, Russia 
22%, Austria 19%, Poland 11%, Sweden and Italy 9%, Netherlands 8% and 
Germany 8%. Sorokin findings concur with Hitler's: Germany has had the 
smallest number of years at war." 

"There is not a single German who wants war. The last war cost us 2 million lives and 
seven and a half million wounded. At such a price, this could not have been a victory 
even if we had won. What European statesman today could effect a territorial conquest 
by means of war? Is it necessary to kill 2 millions in order to conquer a territory with 2 
million inhabitants? For us that would mean sacrificing 2 million Germans - the flower 
of the nation's manhood - in exchange for a mixed population that is neither wholly 
German nor has much in common with Germany. Sound common-sense is opposed to 
such a war." - Paris Soir, January 26thl936 

"The assertion that Germany affected to conquer the world was ridiculous. The British 
Empire embraced 40 million square kilometres, Russia 19 million square kilometres, 
America 9.5 million square kilometres, whereas Germany embraced less than 600,000 
square kilometres. It is quite clear who it is desires to conquer the world." - Hitler's 
Communication to Sir. Nevile Henderson, 25th August 1939 


"If it rests with Germany war will not come again. This country has a more profound 
impression than any other of the evil that war causes. Ninety-five per-cent of the 
members of the National Administration have had personal experiences of its horrors. 
They know that it is not a romantic adventure but a ghastly catastrophe. It is the 
disciplined conviction of the National Socialist Movement that war can benefit no one, 
but only bring general ruin in its train. To us war would offer no prizes; 1918 was for us

We ask only that our present frontiers shall be maintained. Believe me, we shall never 
fight again except in self-defence. . . . Unless England attacks us, we shall never come 
into conflict with England on the Rhine or anywhere else. We want nothing from 
England." 

"Not even colonies?" Mr. Ward Price asked: 

"I would not sacrifice the life of a single German to get any colony in the world. We

taking are meant to deal with the fact that we are surrounded on the Continent by a ring 
of powerful potential foes who may some day make demands of us that we cannot 
accept.” - Interview with G. Ward Price, Daily Mail. 5th August 1934 


"Judea Declares War on Germany! Jews of all the World Unite! Boycott of 
German Goods! Mass Demonstrations!." - Daily Express on March, 24th 1933 

"The Israeli people around the world declare economic and financial war against 
Germany. Fourteen million Jews stand together as one man, to declare war 
against Germany. The Jewish wholesaler will forsake his firm, the banker his 
stock exchange, the merchant his commerce and the pauper his pitiful shed in 
order to join together in a holy war against Hitler's people." - Daily Express, 
March 24th 1933 


"At the end of our days history will be able to state that we left behind us one Reich, one 
People. And for such a programme we need peace, for peace alone can construct. I 
know well what war means: I have seen it with my own eyes: and many a statesman has 
not done that. It is not as a traitor to my country that I repudiate war: I repudiate war as 
a decent German, who, even as a soldier, remained decent, and who is determined to be 
decent in the future. For that reason I will not sacrifice the German people's right to live 
or the German honour." - Elbing, 5th November 1933. 




"Historians will one day record that never were the peaceful proposals of one man met 
with more hatred than mine. When Germany became the example to the world of the 
peaceful solution of social problems and economic difficulties, the hatred of the 
Bolsheviks and capitalists, the exploiters of nations, was turned against her. Only then 
did I turn to create the new German Wehrmacht." - 1936 

"If the Germany of today takes her stand on the side of peace she does so not because of 
weakness or cowardice. She takes her stand on the side of peace because of the 
National Socialist conception of People and State. In each and every war for the 
subjugation of an alien people, National Socialism recognises a process which sooner or 
later will alter the inner nature of the victor - will weaken him and therewith render him 
vanquished in turn. (The reverse coloured-colonisation of contemporary Britain is a 
good example of this, ed.) Setting aside a mere transitory weakening of the enemy, the 
European states have nothing whatsoever to gain from war of any kind, except a trifling 
alteration of frontiers which could be entirely out of proportion to the sacrifices entailed. 
The blood that was shed on European battlefields during the past 300 years bears no 
proportion to the national result of the events. In the end France has remained France, 
Germany Germany, Poland Poland and Italy Italy." -'The Thirteen Points', Reichstag 
Speech 

"The rest of the world, however, whom we have done no wrong and whom we ask 
nothing but to be left to go our way in peace, has for months past been engaged in 
spreading lying reports and slander about us. During the time that a national revolution 
was taking place in Germany, which, unlike the French and Russian revolutions, did not 
indulge in human carnage or murder hostages, did not, as in the times of the rising in 
Paris and of the red revolutionaries in Bavaria and Hungary, destroy buildings and 
works of art by fire, but which, on the contrary, did not smash a single shop window, 
and neither plundered shops nor damaged houses." - Adolf Hitler 

Referring to the original aims of the Geneva Red Cross Convention to work 

towards reducing armaments, Hitler stated his intention to extend this. ".In this 

instance the German Government have in mind to ban all arms which bring death and 
destruction not so much to the fighting soldiers but to non-combatant women and 
children.... they believe that it will be possible to proscribe the use of certain arms as 
contrary to international law and to excommunicate from the community of mankind - 
its rights and its laws - those nations who continue to use them.” - 'The Thirteen Points', 
Reichstag Speech 

"Three times I have made concrete offers for armament restriction. These offers were 
rejected. The greatest offer which I then made was that Germany and France together 
should reduce their standing armies to 300,000 men; that Germany, Great Britain and 
France, should bring down their air forces to parity and that Germany and Great Britain 
should conclude a naval agreement. Only the last offer was accepted as real limitation 
of armaments. The other German proposals were either flatly refused or where 
answered by the conclusion of those alliances which gave Central Europe to Soviet 
Russia as the field of play for its gigantic forces." - Adolf Hitler 




"The German nation has more than fulfilled its obligations with regard to disarmament. 
It is now the turn of the highly armed states to fulfil similar obligations to no less 
extent." - October 14th 1933 

"All through these long years we have never had another prayer but this: Lord, give our 
people eternal peace and give and maintain peace abroad. We have experienced in our 
generation so much fighting that it is natural that we should wish for peace. We have 
behind us so much of hardship that we can address to the grace and the kindliness of 
Providence our one prayer: Spare our children that which we had to endure." 
Parteitag, Nuremberg, 11th September 1936. 

HITLER AGAINST WAR 

"When I talk of peace I am doing nothing but giving expression to the profoundest and 
most sincere wish of the German people. I know the horrors of war too well. No 
possible profits could justify the sacrifices and the sufferings that war entails. And the 
results of another general bout of European slaughter would be even more catastrophic 
in the future than in the past. The only gainers would be the Communists, and I have 
not fought them for fifteen years, only at the end, by this roundabout means, to set up 
their mad rule. 

My aim is the well-being of my people. I saw no well-being in the war; on the contrary, 
I saw only bitter suffering. I will say only two things quite plainly: 1) Germany for her 
part will never break the peace. 2) If anyone should attack us, they will fall on a hornets 
nest - for we love freedom just as much as we love peace.” - Interview with Mr. G. 
Ward-Price, 17th January 1935 

With remarkable foresight the orator of 1923 predicted the post War German 
Governments: "Then things will come to such a pass that we shall be a people working 
for alien masters. Germany will be a plantation worked at the will of the alien, the 
victim of alien cupidity, with a Government which has ceased to be a Government at all 
since it governs no longer; it is but a bailiff carrying out the orders of foreign powers." - 
Munich. 20th April 1923. 

'. . . against the whole war-agitation of shrieking foreigners' he set his own proud 
confidence which nothing could shake. "You will no regard that, my old comrades, as 
arrogance. How could a man think otherwise, who twenty years ago began as a man 
without a name, who nineteen years ago stood for the first time in this place before a 
crowd which was still partly hostile and vociferating against him - stood there utterly 
lonely, who with a few dozen others entered on a fight to win a great Reich, who went 
on this inconceivably difficult way - how can one think for a second that such a man, 
now in possession of power, could have fear of the threats of others? I had no fear then 
and I should be ashamed of myself and unworthy to be the Leader of the German nation 
if I had any fears today. They will not terrify us with their threats. But should they ever 
really bring the peoples to the madness of a conflict, then surely we would not 
capitulate. The year 1918 will never be repeated in German history." - Speech to the 
Old Guard, Munich, 24th February 1939. 


ARMS AGREEMENTS 


"The German people has fulfilled its obligations 
even to excess in the matter of disarmament." 

- Adolf Hitler, 14th October 1933. Radio Broadcast 

Poland's humiliating defeat as a consequence of its persistent attacks on 
Germany's borders, followed by the defeat of France and the rout of Britain's 
300,000 thousand-strong Expeditionary Force led to the myth of Germany's 
military might. In fact, in military terms, the beleaguered Germany was by far the 
weakest of the four nations involved. 

Britain with all the war-essential resources of its world empire, the greatest army 
and navy ever built with the backing of the USA, was joined by Poland and the 
French empire which between them had 130 divisions (7.5 million trained men) 
arraigned against Germany's paltry 62 divisions, its non-existent navy and which 
was totally lacking in heavy tanks. 

See Basil Liddell Hart's 'History of the Second World War', 

Cassell, London 

"If the rest of the world entrenches itself in indestructible fortresses, builds vast 
squadrons of aeroplanes, constructs giant tanks, forges enormous guns, it cannot talk of 
a threat because German National Socialists march completely unarmed in columns four 
abreast and thereby give visible expression and effective protection to the community of 
the German people. 

The German people and the German Government have not demanded arms at all; what 
they have demanded is equality of rights. If the world decides that all arms down to the 
last machine-gun shall be destroyed, we are willing at once to join in such an agreement. 
If the world decides that certain types of arms are to be done away with, we are willing 
from that moment to renounce their use. But if the world permits to every people 
certain types of arms, we are not prepared, as though we were a people with less rights 
than others, to allow ourselves on principle to be excluded from their possession." - 14th 
October 1933. Radio Broadcast 

"The German people has fulfilled its obligations even to excess in the matter of 
disarmament. It is now the turn for the fully armed states to fulfil as loyally their 
analogous obligations. . . . Germany does not demand any offensive arms but only those 
defensive arms which even in the future are not forbidden, but are permitted to all 
nations." - 14th October 1933. Radio Broadcast. 

ENGLAND AND OTHER STATES (FRIENDSHIP WITH) 

"Germany has never sought conflict with England and has never interfered in 
English interests." - Hitler's reply to Chamberlain's letter of 23rd August 1939 

"During the whole of my political activity I have always propounded the idea of a close 
friendship and collaboration between Germany and England. In the NSDAP, I found 
innumerable others of like mind. This desire for Anglo-German friendship and co¬ 
operation conforms not merely to sentiments based on the racial origins of our two 
peoples but also to my realisation of the importance of the existence of the British 
Empire for the whole of mankind.” - Hitler's Reply to Roosevelt. April 15th 1939 


"Now there is no doubt that the Anglo-Saxon people of Britain have accomplished 
immense colonising work in the world. For this, I have sincere admiration." - Hitler's 
Reply to Roosevelt, April 15th 1939 

"When I and my comrades in arms were in the trenches during those terrible years from 
1914 to 1918 we all realised that fifty yards away from us in the British trenches were 
honourable men. Yet it was our duty to fight, and even to kill, these men. If we could 
act thus towards men whom we recognised to be honourable, what must our attitude be 
towards those whom we know to be unprincipled, those who are responsible for the ruin 
of our Fatherland? 

Perhaps it is more difficult for England than for any other nation to imagine herself in 
Germany's desperate position. Never has England been so completely humiliated and so 
hopelessly overpowered as Germany was in the autumn of 1918. England, which has 
not suffered invasion and subjection by a foreign power for centuries' England, where no 
battle even of civil war has been fought since the days of Sedgemoor; England can have 
no conception of our terrible plight. Neither could we ourselves have imagined such a 
thing before the war and yet it happened. But any act of justice we should find 
necessary would be taken in a strictly legal manner. Don't condemn us, therefore, if we 
should act as you yourselves would act in our place. I hope that England will never find 
herself in a position like that of Germany, but if she were in such a position and if, in 
her darkest hour, she was stabbed in the back, what would be the attitude of England 
when on her feet once more? What would be the attitude of English patriots towards 
those among their own nation who had sought to destroy their country?" - The Times 
(interview) 4th October 1930 

"The German Government has the honest intention to do everything in its power to 
discover and permanently set up such relations with the British people and State as will 
forever guard against a renewal of the only conflict that has ever been between two 
peoples." - May 21st 1935 

"In this hour I feel it to be my duty before my own conscience to appeal once more to 
reason and common sense in Britain. I consider myself in a position to make this appeal 
since I am not the vanquished begging favours, but the victor speaking in the name of 
reason. I see no reason why this war must go on. I am grieved to think of the sacrifices 
which it will claim. I would like to avert them." - July 19th 1940 to the Reichstag 

"After the victories against Poland and in the West, I again decided - and for the last 
time - to hold out my hand to England and to point out that a continuation of the war 
could only be senseless for England, and that there was nothing to prevent the 
conclusion of a reasonable peace. Indeed there were no differences between England 
and Germany except those artificially created." - November, 1941 

"Germany has never sought conflict with England and has never interfered in English 
interests. On the contrary she has for years endeavoured - although unfortunately in 
vain - to win England's friendship." - Hitler's reply to Chamberlain's letter of 23rd 
August 1939 



“The English and the Germans cannot remain enemies forever just because they fought 
against each other for four and a half years. To have a strong party in Germany which 
will form a bulwark against Bolshevism is in the interests not only of England but also 
of all nations. You may have difficulties before you and the time may come when 
German friendship will not be without its value.” 

- Daily Mail, 27 September 

1930 

“Hatred was comprehensible in time of war, but he could not understand it being 
nourished for years afterwards. It would be foolish, for instance, for Germany to gloat 
over the prospect of the loss of India by the British Empire, which would be a 
misfortune for the rest of the world, including Germany. For twelve years he had been 
preaching that the old wartime cry of “Gott strafe England.” Should be forgotten.” - 
Interview with Press representatives, Berlin, December 1931 

"I feel it to be a great misfortune that on 4th August 1914 these two great Germanic 
nations which, through all the fluctuations of human history, have lived in peace for 
hundreds of years, were plunged into war. I would be very happy if this unnatural state 
of things came to an end and our two kindred peoples found their way back to their old 
relations of friendship. Nobody here desires a repetition of war. Almost all we leaders 
of the National Socialist Movement were actual combatants. I have yet to meet the 
combatant who desires a renewal of the horrors of those four and a half years." - 18th 
October, 1933 Interview with G. Ward-Price 

"I am convinced that if Great Britain had the same misfortunes as Germany there would 
have been even more National Socialists in England that there are here." - 18th October 
1933 Interview with G. Ward-Price 

"Germanic nations such as ours ought to be friends by sheer force of natural instinct. 
The National Socialist Movement would regard war between Germany and England as a 
racial crime." - 18th October 1933 Interview with G. Ward-Price 

"I have never advanced claim which might in any way have interfered with British 
interests or have become a danger to the Empire and thus have never meant any kind of 
damage to England." - Reichstag, 28th April 1939 

HITLER S SUPPORT FOR THE BRITISH EMPIRE 

"He accepts the British Empire and is ready to pledge himself personally for its 
continued existence and to place the power of the German Reich at its disposal. The 
Fuhrer is ready to conclude agreements with England which, as has already been 
emphasised, would not only guarantee the existence of the British Empire in all 
circumstances as far as Germany is concerned, but also if necessary an assurance to the 
British Empire of German assistance regardless of where such assistance should be 
necessary." - Hitler's Communication to Sir. Nevile Henderson, 25th August, 1939 


Explaining his reluctance to respond to Britain's declaration of war against 
Germany, Adolph Hitler at a meeting in January 1941, said: "The (British) Empire 
has shown in its long and stormy colonial history that it is not only the biggest but the 
best administered colonial Reich. The British are better colonial administrators than the 
Germans and other peoples. If I destroy the Empire, 500 million yellow, brown and 
black natives become leaderless. Murder and death will stalk and the whole world will 
go to pierces. So I must proceed very carefully.” - Sunday Express, May 13th 1951 

"He then astonished us by speaking with admiration of the British Empire, of the 
necessity for its existence and of the civilisation that Britain had brought to the world. 

He compared the British Empire with the Catholic Church - saying they were both 
essential elements of stability in the world. He said that all he wanted from Britain was 
that she should acknowledge Germany's position on the continent. The return of 
Germany's lost colonies would be desirable but not essential, and he would even offer to 
support British troops, if she should be involved in any difficulties anywhere. He 
concluded by saying that his aim was to make peace with Britain, on a basis that she 
would regard as compatible with her honour to accept." - General Blumentritt. Over The 
Hill. Gen. B. Liddell Hart 


WINSTON CHURCHILL 

"The only difference lies in the fact that only a fraction of the English votes were 
cast for Mr. Churchill, while I can say that I represent the whole German people." 

-Adolf Hitler 

"Under the rules of Parliamentary Democracy I obtained the absolute majority of votes 
and today I have the unanimous support of the German people. . . . the only difference 
lies in the fact that only a fraction of the English votes were cast for Mr. Churchill, 
while I can say that I represent the who German people." - Munich, 8th November 1938 

"It only needs that in England instead of Mr. Chamberlain, Mr. Duff-Cooper or Mr. 
Eden or Mr. Churchill should come to power, and then we know quite well that it would 
be the aim of these men immediately to begin a new World War. They make no secret 
of the fact: they admit it openly. We know further that now, as in the past, there lurks in 
the background the menacing figure of that Jewish international foe . . . and we know 
further the power of a certain international Press which lives only on lies and slander. . . 
. I have therefore decided, as I announced in my speech at Nuremberg, to continue the 
construction of our fortifications in the West with increased energy." - 9th October 1938 
Saarbrucken 

"In France and England there are certainly men at the helm who wish for peace, but 
there are others who make no secret of the fact that they want war with Germany. I am 
compelled to state this quite soberly before the nation and to draw the consequences 
which arise from that fact. Tomorrow Mr. Churchill may be the Prime Minister. And 
when a British leader of the Opposition explains: we do nor wish to destroy the German 
people, only the regime, the two are precisely the identical." - Munich, 8th November 
1938 


THE UNITED STATES 

On 23 February 1933 Louis P. Lochner, Berlin Correspondent of the Associated Press, 
had an interview with Adolf Hitler: “The Chancellor said that his attitude towards the 
United States was one of genuine friendship: no other attitude was conceivable.” 

"The USA has become a state as a result of liberalist ideas and various other factors, 
through financial monopolies too. But they will never be a nation: they will always be 
the scene of internal disturbances, ideological, religious, ethnic and religious rivalries. 
The USA will be overtaken by events." - Chicago Tribune, February 15th 1931 

"We may refer to your jumble as a system, but what we mean thereby is your anarchy. 
You are in no position to construct a system; your system is merely permanent 
disintegration." - Chicago Tribune , February, 15th 1931 

"I have sympathy with President Roosevelt because he marches straight to his objective 
over Congress, over lobbies, over stubborn bureaucracies." - New York Times: 
Interview Anne O'Hare McCormick. 10th July 1933 

"We must complete our reconstruction before the Soviet Union becomes a world power, 
before the three million square miles possessed by the United States turns into an 
arsenal for world Jewry. These two colossi are still asleep. When they wake up, that is 
the end of it for Germany. In the Soviet Union of course, things did not turn out as 
Marx foresaw. The Jews let the build-up of Socialism slip through their fingers. This is 
proved by the struggle between Stalin and Trotsky. This struggle is an ideological 
disagreement; it is a battle between the Jewish intelligentsia, which played an important 
part at the time of the revolution, and the other peoples of the Soviet Union. 

The West however, which is anti-German, needs the Stalinist form of Soviet Union as a 
means of pressure against a reawakened Germany. The worst defeat of all would be the 
loss by the Whites, the British and the Dutch, of their key positions on the various 
continents." - Chicago Tribune, February 15th 1931 

POLAND 

“The only winner of another European war would be Japan; that he was by nature an 
artist not a politician and that once the Polish question was settled he would end his life 
as an artist. He did not want to turn Germany into nothing but a military barracks and 
he would only do so if forced to do so.” - Communication handed and verbally read out 
to Sir Neville Chamberlain, British Ambassador, 1.30pm 25 th August 1939. 

"Regardless of the past, Germany concluded with Poland a non-aggression pact as yet 
another contribution of the highest value to European peace; Germany will blindly 
observe this pact, and has only the one desire that it should be continually renewed and 
that it should be the source of an ever-growing friendship in Polish-German relations. 
With the understanding and the heartfelt friendship of true Nationalists, we recognise 
the Polish State as the home of as great nationally-conscious people." - Adolf Hitler, 
Speech to the Reichstag, 21 May 1935 



"The Polish State respects the national conditions in this State, and both the city of 
Danzig and Germany respect Polish rights. And so the way to a friendly understanding 
has been successfully paved, an understanding which, beginning with Danzig, has today, 
in spite of the attempts of certain mischief-makers, succeeded in finally taking the 
poison out of the relations between Germany and Poland and transforming them into a 
sincere, friendly co-operation.” - Speech to the Reichstag, 20 February 1938 

CZECHOSLOVAKIA 

"We do not want any Czechs. When the Czechs have come to an understanding with 
their other minorities I shall not be interested in the Czech state anymore, and, so far as I 
am concerned, I can guarantee it." - Speech to the Sportpalast, Berlin, 26 August, 1938. 
Bibl. 1, 48. p.20. 

AUSTRIA 

"We shall not attack Austria, but we cannot prevent Austrians from seeking to restore 
their ancient connection with Germany. These States are only separated by a line, on 
either side of which are people of the same race. If one part of England were artificially 
separated from the rest, who could restrain its inhabitants from wishing to be united to 
the rest of the country again?" - Interview with G. Ward Price, Daily Mail. 5th August, 
1934 

"In January 1938 I finally resolved during that year I would, in one way or another, win 
the right of the 6.5 million Germans in Austria to self-determination." - Speech to the 
Reichstag, 30 January. 1939. Bible. 1, 48, p.15 

"Certain foreign newspapers have said that we fell on Austria with brutal methods: I 
can only say: even in death they cannot stop lying. I have in the course of my political 
battle won much love from my people, but when in these last days I crossed the former 
frontier of the Reich there met me such a stream of love that I have never experienced a 
greater. Not as tyrants have we come but as liberators: an entire people rejoiced. 

Here, not brutal violence, but our Swastika has conquered. As these soldiers marched 
into Austria, I lived again a song of my youth. I have in days past sung it so often with 
faith in my heart, this proud battle-song: 'The people arise, the storm breaks loose. And 
it was in truth the uprising of a people, and the breaking loose of the storm. 

You may ask: then why do you want a vote? This is a solemn act which we wish to 
make a part of German history. The people must makes its profession of faith. I am a 
far better democrat than many of the democrats around me. 

"The people of Austria must have the opportunity of arising and I wish to see whether it 
will not choose the son of its homeland and the Leader of the German nation." - 
Konigsberg, 25th March 1938 

Note: In the subsequent election, monitored by international observers, 99.73% of 
the Austrian people voted for unity with Hitler's Reich, similarly in the Saar. 
Even the notorious Hitler-hating Gordon Brook-Shepherd conceded that 'Most 
foreign observers accepted that the polling had been free of intimidation.'. 



"Providence must have aimed at my becoming the Redeemer of my native country. I am 
happy that Providence has chosen me. What happened in these days (the Anschluss) 
was a boundless miracle." 

- Adolf Hitler in the Reichstag, 18 March 1938. Bibl. 1, 

48, p.180 

FRANCE 

Hitler was contemptuous of the French nation's inclination to mix its blood with 
alien races and to use its racially-foreign mercenaries to suppress and humiliate 
France' racial kin. The occupation of the Ruhr is a good example of this. 

"France's activities in Europe today, spurred on by the French lust for vengeance and 
systematically directed by the Jew, are a criminal attack against the life of the white race 
and will one day arouse against the French people a spirit of vengeance among a 
generation which has recognised the original sin of mankind in this racial pollution." - 
Mein Kampf 

"If France develops along the lines it has taken in our day, and should that development 
continue for the next three hundred years, all traces of French blood will finally be 
submerged in the formation of a Euro-African Mulatto State. This would represent a 
formidable and compact colonial territory stretching from the Rhine to the Congo, 
inhabited by an inferior race which had developed through a slow and steady process of 
bastardisation. . . . Therefore we must stop at no sacrifice in our effort to destroy the 
French striving towards hegemony over Europe." - Mein Kampf 

"We will not allow ourselves to be turned into niggers as the French tried to do after 
1918. The Nordic blood available in England, northern France and North America will 
eventually go with us to reorganise the world. The discontent in their own home 
countries and in their colonies will leave them no choice." - Chicago Tribune, February 
15th 1931 

"... in France a passionate hatred against Germany was fostered by every means - by 
propaganda in the Press, in school text books, in theatres, in the cinemas . . . All the 
Jewish papers throughout France agitated against Berlin . . . Here again to seek and to 
exploit grounds for a conflict is the clearly recognisable effort of world-Jewry." - 
Munich. 13th April 1923. Hitler's Speeches, Baynes. Royal Institute of International 
Affairs, 1942 

HUNGARY 

“The German and the Hungarian peoples have been, through a long history, united in a 
relation of close friendship and of genuine and warm sympathy. Both people long trod a 
common path. In the World War they fought shoulder to shoulder and were overtaken 
by a common misfortune. That means that, as regards the future, they have common 
interests. 

For this reason I hope that the well-tried friendship will hold good in the present 
difficult times. At least I shall do everything in my power to foster, and if possible, to 
deepen the friendship. 



I know Hungary well. I have often stayed in the country, and I have been in Budapest, 
and perhaps I should be justified in saying that I have always followed with interest the 
fortunes of the Hungarian people. 

The heroic struggles of the Hungarian nation in the War and their sufferings after the 
war have only reinforced my sentiments.” - Interview with the correspondent of the 
Budapest newspaper ‘Hirlap’ February 1933 

SPAIN (CIVIL WAR) 

"We are experiencing in these days a very great triumph and profound inner satisfaction. 
A country that had in its turn been laid waste by Bolshevism, in which hundreds of 
thousands, women and men, children and greybeards, had been massacred, has freed 
itself, has freed itself in spite of all the ideological friends of Bolshevism who have their 
home in Great Britain, in France, and other countries. We can understand this Spain in 
its fight only too well and we greet her and congratulate her on her success." - 
Wilhelmshafen, 1st April 1939 

PALESTINE 

In answer to Roosevelt's demand that Germany should not show designs on 
Palestine: "The fact has obviously escaped Mr. Roosevelt's notice that Palestine is at 
present occupied not by German troops but by the English; and that the country is 
having its liberty restricted by the most brutal resort to force, is being robbed of its 
independence and is suffering the cruellest maltreatment for the benefit of Jewish 
interlopers. The Arabs living in that country will therefore certainly not have 
complained to Mr. Roosevelt of German aggression, but they do voice a continuous 
appeal to the world, deploring the barbarous methods with which England is attempting 
to suppress a people which loves its freedom and is but defending it." - Hitler's Reply to 
Roosevelt; Reichstag, 28th April 1939. 

THE INTERNATIONAL JEW 

"The nations are no longer willing to die on the battlefield so that this unstable 
international race may profit from a war or satisfy Old Testament vengeance." 

- Adolf Hitler,- Reichstag, 30th January 1939 

Anti-Semitism is a much misused description. The Semites make up various 
peoples of SW Asia and the Arab world, much of which was sympathetic to 
Hitler's Germany and hostile to their British, French and Jewish oppressors. 
Hitler's ire was focused on international Jewish speculators and revolutionaries. 
This needs also to be set against the period. In developed countries where greater 
freedom of information than exists today led to greater awareness of the causes of 
anti-Semitism, the antipathy towards these Jewish elements was more in evidence. 
Hitler campaigned against corruption and was equally scathing of perpetrators 
regardless of race. 

Philip Freedman the Jewish scholar and author observed Hitler that was anti- 
Talmudic rather than anti-Semitic "... in that the Third Reich treated 
Christianised Jews preferentially. The National Socialist Third Reich carefully 
distinguished between Talmudic and Christianised Jews." 

In 1938, five years after Hitler's election, 10% of the practising lawyers in 
Germany were Jews although they constituted less than 1% of the population. In 


1939, six years after Hitler' election, there were still 120,000 Jews living voluntarily 
in Germany. 

Emil Maurice, Party member 594 (the numbering sequence began at 501) was an 
NSDAP member since 1919 and prior to the formation of the NSDAP became SS 
Member No.2. He was of Jewish blood. He was Hitler's personal bodyguard and 
permanent companion for many years. Hitler was a constant visitor to concerts of 
the Jewish composer Gustav Mahler. It should also be remembered that racially- 
mixed marriages were (and are) as much anathema to Jews as they ever were to 
Hitler. Even today, Jewish organisations discourage inter-racial marriage between 
Jews and Gentiles. 

Between 1933-37, over 10,000 Jews immigrated to Germany. 1,200 came directly 
from Palestine. "During the Second World War over 1,000 Jews served in the 
German armed forces including 77 officers of high rank (two Field Marshalls), 10 
generals and 14 colonels." 

Source: Daniel Goldhagen. Quote: Sunday Times, 15th 

December 1996 

"For the time when the non-Jewish nations had no propaganda is at an end. National 
Socialist Germany and Fascist Italy have institutions which enable them to enlighten the 
world about the nature of a question of which many nations are instinctively conscious, 
but which they have not yet clearly thought out. 

At the moment the Jews in certain countries may be fomenting hatred under the 
protection of the Press, of the film, of wireless propaganda, of the theatre, of literature, 
&c., all of which they control. If this nation should once more succeed in inciting the 
millions which compose the nations into conflict which is utterly senseless and only 
serves Jewish interests, then there will be revealed the effectiveness of an enlightenment 
which has completely routed the Jews in Germany in the space of a few years. 

The nations are no longer willing to die on the battlefield so that this unstable 
international race may profit from a war or satisfy Old Testament vengeance." - 
Reichstag, 30th January 1939 

TALMUDIC JEWRY (HITLER'S INCREASING AVERSION TO) 

"Today it is hard and almost impossible for me to say when the word 'Jew' first began to 
raise any particular thought in my mind. I do not remember even having heard the word 
at home during my father's lifetime. If this name were mentioned in a derogatory sense I 
think the old gentleman would have considered those who used it this way as being 
uneducated reactionaries. 

It was not until I was fourteen or fifteen years old that I frequently ran up against the 
word 'Jew', partly in connection with political controversies. These references aroused a 
slight aversion in me, and I could not avoid an uncomfortable feeling which always 
came over me when I had to listen to religious disputes. But at that time I had no other 
feelings about the Jewish question." - Mein Kampf 

"As I thought they were persecuted on account of their Faith my aversion to hearing 
remarks against them grew almost into a feeling of abhorrence. I did not in the least 
suspect that there could be such a thing as a systematic Anti-Semitism. Then I came to 
Vienna." - Mein Kampf 



"In the Jew I still saw only a man who was of a different religion, and therefore, on 
grounds of human tolerance was against the idea that he should be attacked because he 
had a different faith. And so I considered that the tone adopted by the anti-Semitic 
press in Vienna was unworthy of the cultural traditions of a great people. The memory 
of certain events which happened in the Middle Ages came to my mind, and I felt that I 
should not like to see them repeated.” - Mein Kampf 

"At the time of this bitter struggle, between calm reason and the sentiments in which I 
had been brought up, the lessons that I had learned on the streets of Vienna rendered me 
invaluable assistance. A time came when I no longer passed blindly along the street of 
the mighty city, as I had done in the early days, but now with my eyes open not only to 
study the buildings but also the human beings. 

Once, when passing through the inner city, I suddenly encountered a phenomenon in a 
long caftan and wearing black side-locks. My first thought was: Is this a Jew? They 
certainly did not have this appearance in Linz. I watched the man stealthily and 
cautiously; but the longer I gazed at the strange countenance and examined it feature by 
feature, the more the question shaped itself in my mind : Is this a German? 

As was always my habit with such experiences I turned to books for help in removing 
my doubts. For the first time in my life I bought myself some anti-Semitic pamphlets 
for a few pence ... the tone of most of these pamphlets was such that I became doubtful 
again, because the statements made were partly superficial and the proofs extraordinary 
unscientific. The subject appeared so enormous and the accusations were so far- 
reaching that I was afraid of dealing with it unjustly and so I became anxious and 
uncertain. 

Naturally I could no longer doubt that here there was not a question of Germans who 
happened to be of a different religion but rather that there was a question of an entirely 
different people. For as soon as I began to investigate the matter and observe the Jews, 
then Vienna appeared to me in a different light. Wherever I now went I saw Jews, and 
the more I saw of them the more strikingly and clearly they stood out as a different 
people from other citizens." - Mein Kampf 

"What soon gave me cause for very serious consideration were the activities of the Jews 
in certain branches of life, into the mystery of which I penetrated little by little. Was 
there any undertaking , any form of foulness, especially in cultural life, in which at least 
one Jew did not participate? On putting the probing knife carefully to that kind of 
abscess one immediately discovered, like a maggot in a putrescent body, a little Jew 
who was often blinded by the sudden light. 

In my eyes the charge against Judaism became a grave one the moment I discovered the 
Jewish activities in the Press, in art, in literature and the theatre. All unctuous protests 
were now more or less futile. One needed only to look at the posters announcing the 
hideous productions of the cinema and theatre, and study the names of the authors who 
were highly lauded there in order to become permanently adamant on Jewish questions. 
Here was a pestilence, a moral pestilence with which the public was being infected. It 
was worse than the Black Plague of long ago. And in what mighty doses this poison 
was manufactured and distributed. 



Naturally the lower the moral and intellectual level of such an author of artistic products 
the more inexhaustible his fecundity. Sometimes it went s far that one of these fellows, 
acting like a sewage pump, would shoot his filth directly in the face of other members 
of the human race 

In this connection we must remember that there is no limit to the number of such 
people. One ought to realise that for one Goethe, Nature may bring into existence ten 
thousand such despoilers who act as the worst kind of germ-carriers in poisoning human 
souls. It was a terrible thought and yet it could not be avoided, that the greater number 
of the Jews seemed specially destined by Nature to play this shameful part. And it is for 
this reason that thy can be called the chosen people? 

I began then to investigate carefully the names of all the fabricators of these unclean 
products in public cultural life. The result of that inquiry was still more disfavourable to 
the attitude to which I had hitherto held in regard to the Jews. Though my feelings 
might rebel a thousand time, reason now had to draw its own conclusions. The fact that 
nine-tenths of all the smutty literature, artistic tripe and theatrical banalities, had to be 
charged to the account of people who formed scarcely one per cent, of the nation - that 
fact could not be gainsaid." - Mein Kampf 

Jewish involvement in prostitution and the white slave trade: "The part which the 
Jews played in the social phenomenon of prostitution, and more especially in the white 
slave traffic, could be studied here (in Vienna) better than in any other West-European 
city, with the possible exception of certain ports in Southern France. Walking by night 
along the streets of the Leopoldstadt, almost at every turn whether one wished it or not, 
one witnessed certain happenings of whose existence the Germans knew nothing until 
the War made it possible and indeed inevitable for soldiers to see such things on the 
Eastern Front. 

A cold shiver ran down my spine when I first ascertained that it was the same kind of 
cold-blooded, thick-skinned and shameless Jew who showed his consummate skill in 
conducting that revolting exploitation of the dregs of the big city. Then I became fired 
with wrath." 

I had now no more hesitation about bringing the Jewish problem to light in all its 
details. No. Henceforth I was determined to do so. But as I learned to track down the 
Jew in all the different spheres of cultural and artistic life, and in the various 
manifestations of life everywhere, I suddenly came upon him in a position where I had 
least expected to find him. I now realised that the Jews were the leaders of Social 
Democracy. In face of that revelation the scales fell from my eyes. My long inner 
struggle was at an end." - Mein Kampf 

"The man who has come to know this race has succeeded in removing from his eyes the 
veil through which he has seen the aims and meaning of his Party in a false light; and 
then, out of the murk and fog of social phrases rises the grimacing figure of Marxism." - 
Mein Kampf 

"It is remarkable, there are very few things in which one finds only Catholics or only 
Protestants. But here one did precisely find only adherents of one definite so-called 
'Religious Society'., and the most remarkable thing about it is that, as is well known, one 
can smell this religion, so that it is perfectly clear to anyone from externals alone. One 



can't tell if you meet a man whether he is a Catholic, a Protestant, a Baptist, or a 
Lutheran, but in this 'Religious Community' one can tell the faithful from afar. A 
marvellous 'Religion'." - Hitler's Speeches, Baynes. Vol.l. The Institute of International 
Affairs. 1942 

"Many hold that the Jews are not a race, but is there a second people anywhere in the 
wide world which is so determined to maintain its race?" - Munich. 20th April, 1923 


"Hitler will have no war, but he will be forced to it, not this year, but later on." - 
Les Aniles, 1934. 

"We Jews are going to bring a war on Germany.” - David A. Brown, National 
Chairman, United Jewish Campaign 


Jewish propaganda has always interpreted reasonable words or policies to appear 
in a worse light than those intended. German Re-settlement became 'holocaust' as 
limitation (of influence) became (in Czarist Russia) 'persecution', to which Hitler 
replied: "Limitations, not persecutions. There have been no persecutions of the Jews 
for 200 years, only a continuous persecution of the Christians." - Munich, April 13th 
1923 

THE MARXIST PRESS (The Social Democrat movement/newspapers Hitler 
often refers to were ideologically Jewish-Marxist. As a teenage labourer in the 
building industry, Adolf Hitler came face to face with intimidation of Marxist 
dominated trade unions: "Then I asked myself: Are these men worthy of belonging to 
a great people? The question was profoundly disturbing ; for if the answer were 'Yes', 
then the struggle to defend one's nationality is no longer worth all the trouble and 
sacrifice we demand of our best elements if it be in the interests of such a rabble. On 
the other hand, if the answer had to be 'No - these men were not worthy of the nation', 
then our nation is poor indeed in men. During these days of mental anguish and deep 
meditation I saw before my mind the ever-increasing and menacing army of people who 
could no longer be reckoned as belonging to their own nation 

It was with quite a different feeling, some days later, that I gazed on the interminable 
ranks, four abreast, of Viennese workmen parading at a mass demonstration. I stood 
dumbfounded for almost two hours, watching that enormous human dragon which 
slowly uncoiled itself before me. When I finally left the square and wandered in the 
direction of my lodgings I felt dismayed and depressed." 


Mein Kampf 

On the way back to his lodgings Hitler writes that "Some interior voice urged me to 
buy the newspaper (Arbeiterszeitung - The Workman's Journal) paper in that tobacco 
shop," despite his feelings of revulsion, and to read it through. Doing so he 



perceived how the masses are duped by duplicitous reporting: "No means were too 
base, provided they could be exploited in the campaign of slander. These journalists 
were real virtuosos in the art of twisting facts and presenting them in a deceptive form. 
The theoretical literature was intended for the simpletons of the soi-disant intellectuals 
belonging to the middle and, naturally, the upper classes. The newspaper propaganda 
was intended for the masses. 

This probing into books and newspapers and studying the teachings of Social- 
Democracy re-awakened my love for my own people. And thus what at first seemed an 
impassable chasm became the occasion of a closer affection. Having once understood 
the workings of the colossal system for poisoning the popular mind, only a fool could 
blame the victims of it." - Mein Kampf 

The youthful Hitler on early life in Vienna: "It was during this period that my eyes 
were opened to two perils, the names of which I scarcely knew hitherto and had no 
notion whatsoever of their terrible significance for the existence of the German people. 
These two perils were Marxism and Judaism." - Mein Kampf 

"Gradually I became an expert in the doctrine of the Marxists and used this knowledge 
as an instrument to drive home my own firm convictions. I was successful in nearly 
every case. The great masses can be rescued, but a lot of time and a large shared of 
human patience must be devoted to such work. But a Jew can never be rescued from his 
fixed notions." - Mein Kampf 

Observing that Jewish control of the media excluded nationalist opinion: "Making 
an effort to overcome my natural reluctance, I tried to read articles of this nature 
published in the Marxist Press; and in doing so my aversion increased all the more. And 
then I set about learning something of the people who wrote and published this 
mischievous stuff. From the publisher downwards, all of them were Jews. I recalled to 
mind the names of the public leaders of Marxism, and then I realised that most of them 
belonged to the Chosen Race - the Social Democratic representatives in the Imperial 
Cabinet as well as the secretaries of the Trades Unions and the street agitators. 
Everywhere the same sinister picture presented itself. I shall never forget the row of 
names - Austerlitz, David, Adler, Ellenbogen and others. One fact became quite evident 
to me. It was that this alien race held in its hands the leadership of the Social 
Democratic Party with whose minor representatives I had been disputing for months 
past." - Mein Kampf 

"Are not nearly all Germans in their hearts - let each one admit it - in despair when they 
consider the situation which leaves us quite defenceless in face of a Europe which is so 
hostile to Germany? And why is Europe hostile? We see how over there in this other 
Europe it is not the peoples which agitate against us, it is the secret power of the 
organised Press, which ceaselessly pours new poison into the hearts of these peoples. 
And who are then these bandits of the Press? The brothers and the relatives of the 
publishers of our own newspapers. And the capital source which provides the energy 
which here - and there - drives them forward is the Jewish dream of world-supremacy." 
- Hitler's Speeches, Baynes. Vol.l. The Institute of International Affairs. 1942 



"As a matter of fact the Jew can never become a German however often he may affirm 
that he can. If he wished to become a German he must surrender the Jew in him. And 
that is not possible: he cannot, however much he try, become a German at heart, and that 
for several reasons: first because of his blood, second because of his character, thirdly 
because of his will, and fourthly because of his actions. His actions remain Jewish: he 
works for the greater idea of the Jewish people. Because that is so, because it cannot be 
otherwise, therefore the bare existence of the Jew as part of another State rests upon a 
monstrous lie. It is a lie when he pretends to the peoples to be a German, a Frenchman 
an Englishman." - Munich. 20th April 1923 

MARXISM 

"Marxism in practice is the best refutation of Marxism in theory." 

- Adolf Hitler, Sportpalast, Berlin. 2nd March, 1933 

BOLSHEVISM versus NATIONAL SOCIALISM 

“Both we National Socialists and the Bolshevists are convinced that there is a gulf 
between us which can never be bridged. But, moreover, there are more than 400 
murdered National Socialists between us. Thousands of National Socialists have fallen 
in other organisations to forestall a Bolshevist revolt. Thousands of soldiers and 
policemen have been shot and massacred in the fight for the protection of the Reich and 
the States from the everlasting Communist uprisings, and more than 43,000 members of 
the National Socialist Party have been wounded. Thousands of them have been either 
blinded or crippled for life. 

In so far as Bolshevism can be considered purely a Russian affair we have no interest in 
it whatever. Every nation must seek salvation in its own way. So far as Bolshevism 
draws Germany within its range, however, we are its deadliest and most fanatical 
enemies.” - Reichstag 21 st May 1935 

"They go on to say that Capitalism would thereby be overcome. Where, I ask, has it 
been overcome? In Russia the whole world must help with its credits; the world of 
capitalism must give support with its credits, it must supply the machines and furnish 
the factories, it must provide the engineers, the pioneers: this other world must do 
everything. That they cannot deny. And to those who in Germany are enthusiastic for 
the principle I would like to recommend as week's experience of the system under which 
men work in the forests of Siberia - one week would be enough! 

Young Communists when they murdered National Socialists fled for refuge to Soviet 
Russia: but they returned to Germany: 'Better penal servitude in Germany than freedom 
there.'" - Sportpalast, Berlin. 2nd March 1933 

In a jibe at the Soviet Union's dependence on the capitalist west which used the 
USSR as a source of social experiment and cheap labour: "Soviet Russia seems like 
a man wandering through a bog on the arm of a stronger man. This Soviet Russia toils 
perpetually along on the arm of the capitalist States. She took from them her workers, 
her engineers, her machines: she drew everything from the capitalists States but went on 
her way and talked the whole time about Marxist Communism. Soviet Russia should 
be stood on her own feet - that would be quite possible for a country like Russia - and 


told, 'Now create your Paradise yourself. The results would be interesting. At present as 
Communists they were living only on the non-communist institutions of the world." 

- Second Labour Congress, Berlin, 16th 

May 1934 

"Should the Jew, with the aid of his Marxist creed, triumph over the people of this 
world, his crown will be the funeral wreath of mankind, and this planet will once again 
follow its orbit through ether, without any human life on its surface, as it did millions of 
years ago. And so I believe today that my conduct is in accordance with the will of the 
Almighty Creator. In standing guard against the Jew I am defending the handiwork of 
the Lord." - Mein Kampf 

Hitler's knowledge of Jewish methods of achievement predicted the emergence of 
the EEC: "I reject the word 'proletariat'. The Jew who coined the word meant by 
'proletariat', not the oppressed but those who work with their hands. And those who 
work with their intellects are stigmatised bluntly as 'bourgeois'. It is not the character of 
a man's life which forms the basis of this classification, it is simply the occupation - 
whether a man works with his brain or with his body. And in this turbulent mass of the 
hand-workers the Jew recognised a new power which might perhaps be his instrument 
for the gaining of that which is his ultimate goal: World-supremacy, the destruction of 
the national-States.” - Munich. 20th April 1923 

COMMUNISTS 

“We shut no one out! We are fighting the Communist in our midst and, if necessary, we 
strike him to the ground. But if he says ‘I am hungry - good! He must have something 
to eat. We do not fight him in order to kill him, but to protect our people from a mad 
theory. But if he comes to reason and returns to his people, then we are ready to 
welcome him warmly.” - Winter Help Campaign, Kroll Opera House, Berlin 1935 

THE JEWISH INFLUENCE ON COMMUNISM 
"Britain and America which have tried to use Bolshevism to destroy Europe will 
themselves be denounced by it." - Adolf Hitler 

"One of the oldest civilised countries of present-day humanity with over six million 
Communists stood on the verge of catastrophe. If the Red fire had blazed throughout 
Germany, then in the civilised countries of Western Europe folk would have come to 
recognise that it was no matter of unconcern whether the outposts of a destructive Asian 
world power stand guard on the Rhine and on the North Sea, or whether the land is 
populated by peaceful German peasants and working men whose only wish is to make 
an honest living and to be on friendly terms with other nations. Since the National 
Socialist Movement snatched Germany back from the menace of this catastrophe, it 
saved not merely the German people but at the same time it won for itself the right to 
claim from the rest of Europe the recognition of an historic service. The National 
Socialist revolution has but one aim; to restore order in our own country, to provide 
work and bread for our starving masses and to lay down the ideas of honour, loyalty and 
decency as being the basis of our moral code, which, far from doing harm to other 


nations, can be for the benefit of all." - Adolf Hitler, 14th October 1933. Radio 
Broadcast 

"In 1936 we proved by means of a whole series of astounding statistics that in Russia 
today more than 98% of the leading positions are occupied by Jews.... Who were the 
leaders in our Bavarian Workers Republic? Who were the leaders of the Spartacist 
Movement? Who were the real leaders and financiers of the Communist Party? Jews, 
every one of them. The position was the same in Hungary and in the Red parts of 
Spain." - September 1937 

"Since I have fought against these Jewish-Soviet ideas in Germany, since I have 
conquered and stamped out this peril, I fancy that I possess a better comprehension of its 
character than do these men who have only to deal with it in the field of literature." - 
Adolf Hitler 

"I am no bitter opponent of communism simply because the concept did not stem from 
me: when I was a worker I busied myself with socialist or, if you like, Marxist literature. 
It all sounds splendid but when it comes to putting it into practice, it is not the 
proletariat which makes the decisions; the strings are pulled by some mysterious 
intellectuals on behalf of high finance. The name of your present day Moses is Marx." 
- Chicago Tribune, February 15th 1931 

"It must never be forgotten that the present rulers of Russia are blood-stained criminals, 
that here we have the dregs of humanity which, favoured by the circumstances of a 
tragic moment, overran a great State, degraded and extirpated millions of educated 
people out of sheer blood-lust, and that now for nearly ten years they have ruled with 
such a savage tyranny as was never known before. It must not be forgotten that these 
rulers belong to a people in whom the most bestial cruelty is allied with a capacity for 
artful mendacity and which believes itself today more than ever called to impose its 
sanguinary despotism on the rest of the world. It must not be forgotten that the 
international Jew, who is today the absolute master of Russia, does not look upon 
Germany as an ally but as a state condemned to the same doom as Russia. One does not 
form an alliance with a partner whose only aim is the destruction of his fellow-partner. 
Above all, one does not enter alliances with people for whom no treaty is sacred; 
because they do not move about this earth as men of honour and sincerity but as the 
representatives of lies and deception, thievery and plunder and robbery. The man who 
thinks he can bind himself by treaty with parasites is like the tree that believes it can 
form a profitable bargain with the ivy that surrounds it." - Mein Kampf 

"We are endeavouring to make the German people as immune as possible from this 
contagion (Bolshevism). For this it is necessary that we should avoid all close contact 
with the bearers of this poisonous bacilli." - Speech to the Reichstag, 30 January 1937. 

"They (the Right) have never yet understood that it is not necessary to be an enemy of 
the Jew for him to drag you one day on the Russian model to the scaffold. They do not 
see that it is quite enough to have a head on your shoulders and not be a Jew ; that will 


secure the scaffold for you." - Hitler's Speeches, Baynes. Vol.l. The Institute of 
International Affairs. 1942 

"How can we release our people from this poisonous grip if we accept the same grip 
ourselves? How can we teach the German worker that Bolshevism is an infamous crime 
against humanity if we ally ourselves with this infernal abortion and recognise its 
existence as legitimate? With what right shall we condemn the members of the broad 
masses whose sympathies lie with a certain Weltanschauung if the rules of our State 
choose the representatives of that Weltanschauung as their allies?" - Mein Kampf 

"We are not in the happy situation of those Bolshevik Jews who have got too much land. 
If the Urals with their immense treasures of raw materials, Siberia with its rich forests 
and the Ukraine with its vast grain-growing plains were to be found in Germany, then, 
under the National-Socialist Government, she would swim in wealth." - Speech at 
Nuremberg, Sept 1936 

"The same Jew who, whether as a majority Socialist or Independent, led you then leads 
you still; whether as Independent or Communist he is still the same. And just as then it 
was not your interests which he championed, but the interests of capital which supported 
him, the interests of his race, so now he will never lead you in an attack on his race, an 
attack on capital. On the contrary he will prevent you from waging war against those 
who are really exploiting you : never, never will he help to liberate you, for he is not 
enslaved." - Hitler's Speeches, Baynes. Vol.l. The Institute of International Affairs. 
1942 

"While now in Russia the millions are ruined and dying, Chicherin - and with him a 
staff of over 200 Jews - travels by express train through Europe, visits the cabarets, 
watches naked dancers perform for his pleasure, lives in the finest hotels, and does 
himself better than the millions whom once you thought you must fight as 'bourgeois'. 
The 400 Soviet Commissars of Jewish nationality - they do not suffer, the thousands 
upon thousands of sub-commissars - they do not suffer. No! all the treasures which the 
'proletarian' in his madness took from the 'Bourgeoisie' in order to fight so-called 
capitalism - they have all gone into their hands. Once the worker appropriated the purse 
of the landed proprietor who gave him work, he took the rings, the diamonds, and 
rejoiced that he had got the treasures which before only the 'Bourgeoisie' had possessed. 
But in his hands they are dead things - they are veritable death-gold." - Hitler's 
Speeches, Baynes. Vol.l. The Institute of International Affairs. 1942 

" . . . there can be no compromise . . . there are only two possibilities; either victory of 
the Aryan or annihilation of the Aryan and the victory of the Jew. It is from the 
recognition of this fact, from recognising it, I would say, in utter, dead seriousness, that 
there resulted in the formation of the Movement., we engraved upon our hearts : first, to 
base it on the most sober recognition of the facts and secondly to proclaim these facts 
with the most ruthless sincerity." - Hitler's Speeches, Baynes. Vol.l. The Institute of 
International Affairs. 1942 



"For us the great question mark is simply; bolshevism or fascism? These are the two 
great new concepts, the great ideologies, on which the future must decide." - Chicago 
Tribune, February 15th 1931. 

Condensed from the Fuhrer's closing speech, Nuremberg Congress of Honour : 

"We do not deny the grave concern which we feel at the thought of other nations 
becoming a victim of Bolshevism towards which we are deadly antagonistic. 

This deadly enmity of ours is not based on an obstinate refusal to recognise any ideas 
that may be contrary to ours. But this enmity is based on a natural feeling of revulsion 
towards a diabolical doctrine that threatens the world at large and us. 

The first phase in the fight of National Socialism against Communism did not take place 
in Russia. Soviet Communism already tried to poison Germany between the years 1918 
and 1920, and its methods of penetration into this country was much the same as its 
present-day military efforts in moving the Bolshevik military machine closer and closer 
to our frontiers. 

We have stamped out Bolshevism which Moscow's bloodfiends such as Lewin, 
Axelroth, Neumann, Bela-Kuhn, etc. tried to introduce into Germany. And it is because 
we see day by day these efforts of Soviet rulers to meddle in our domestic affairs have 
not yet ceased, that we are forced to regard Bolshevism beyond our frontiers as our 
deadly enemy. 

We have fought Bolshevism in Germany as a Weltanschaung that is, as a form of 
philosophy that endeavoured to poison and destroy our people. And Bolshevism will 
continue to be fought if it attempts to introduce its sordid Spanish methods into 
Germany. 

It is not the aim of Bolshevism to free nations from their ailments. Its object is to 
exterminate all that is healthy and replace the same by depravity and degenerate 
elements.... 

....we do not want a situation here in Germany, as in Russia, in which 98% of official 
key positions are held by alien Jews. Under no circumstances do we want our national 
intelligence debased. 

".... Communism however cannot deny that in Russia today 98% of all official positions 
are held by Jews who not only can never be classed as members of the proletariat, but 
who have never earned an honest penny in their lives. 

". we have fought Bolshevism because its leaders had planned for us a slaughter 

house on Russian and Spanish lines. Such is the difference between the Bolshevik and 
the National Socialist revolutions. The one transforms prosperous and peaceful 
countries into a waste of ruin and devastation, whilst the other, re-builds a broken-down 
and poverty stricken Reich into an economically sound and prosperous state." 

We believe that it is a bigger task to put 5 million people back to work than to burn 
down houses and churches and allow hundreds of thousands of workers and peasants 
and others to kill each other. We have also fought Bolshevism on general economic 
grounds. From time to time the world hears of hunger famines in Russia. Since, 1917, 
that is, since the victory of Bolshevism, there is no end to this form of distress, 

This self-same Russia, starving for close on 20 years, was one of the richest grain 
countries in the world. 




When compared with Germany, Russia possesses 18 times more land per head of 
population, and yet what a sorry form of economic policy this country must have to deny 
its people a decent form of livelihood. If Bolshevism in Russia, however, does not 
succeed in getting nine farmers to produce sufficient to at least support one non-farmer 
what then would have happened in Germany, where two and a half farmers produce 
sufficient to support seven and a half non-farmers? What would have happened to 
Germany and the whole of its economic structure if Jewish-Bolshevik economic 
malpractice had ever been allowed to take root here? 

We have fought Bolshevism because a victory for it in Germany would have spelt 
starvation for perhaps 50% of our population. If Russia is incapable of supporting not 
even eight people per square kilometre, then in Germany under Bolshevik rule, not even 
ten millions would have had the necessary minimum standard of living. For here in 
Germany our 68 million people occupy the same area which in Russia would not 
support more than 5 million. 

Bolshevism preaches world revolution, and it would use the German workers as cannon 
fodder for the attainment of its goal. We National Socialists, however, do not want our 
military forces to be used for forcing upon other nations something that they do not 
want. Our Army does not swear an oath that it will carry our National Socialist 
ideology to other nations." 

British politicians in England have so far not had the opportunity of learning what 
Communism in one's own country stands for. But we have. As I am the one who has 
fought against this Judeo-Soviet teaching in Germany and stamped it out, I flatter myself 
that I possess more understanding of the true character of Bolshevism than those arm¬ 
chair critics who at most have read up on the subject a little. Today, I follow the spread 
of Bolshevik poison throughout the world just as assiduously as I followed its 
poisonous trail years ago in Germany, and never lost an opportunity of warning the 
country. 

The abhorrent mass-murders of nationalists, the burning alive of wives of nationalist 
officers after soaking them in petrol - the revolting murder of children on nationalist 
parents as for example in Spain, should serve as a warning to help to break down 
resistance on other countries." - Adolf Hitler 

"If my international opponents reproach me today that I have refused this co-operation 
with Russia, I make the following declaration: I do not and did not reject co-operation 
with Russia but with Bolshevism, which lays claim to world rulership. 

The German nation has mot only wept but has laughed heartily throughout its life and I 
will not see it descend into the gloom of international communism and the dictatorship 
of hate. I tremble for Europe at the very thought of what would happen to our old and 
over-populated continent if this Asiatic concept of the world, which is destructive of all 
our ideals, should be successful in bringing upon us the chaos of the Bolshevik 
revolution." - March 7th 1936 

"Bolshevism turns flourishing countryside into sinister wastes of ruins; National 
Socialism transforms a Reich of destruction and misery into a healthy state with a 
flourishing economic life." - Adolf Hitler 




"To link Germany any further by treaties with the present Bolshevist Russia would be 
entirely valueless. It is not conceivable that National-Socialist Germans would ever 
render any help in protecting Bolshevism, nor would we ourselves wish to accept any 
help from a Bolshevist state. For, I am afraid, any nation receiving such help will perish 
through it.... " - Speech to the Reichstag, 30 January 1937 

"With one state only did we not want any connection or any closer relations - with 
Soviet Russia . . . Any attempts to spread Bolshevism, irrespective of where they 
occurred, would have our abhorrence and, if they threaten us, our enmity ...” - Speech 
to the Reichstag, 20 February. 1938 

"We do not try to come in touch with Bolshevism, but Bolshevism tries to infect all 
human beings with its ideas and thereby to throw them into deepest misery. That is why 
we are its relentless enemies." - Reichstag, 20 February 1938 

JEWS IN GERMANY 

"I would be only too glad if the nations that take such an enormous interest in the Jews 
would open their gates to them. It is true that we have made discriminatory laws, but 
they are directed not so much against the Jews as for the German people, to give 
economic opportunity to the majority." 

- New York Times, 10th 
July 1933 

Hitler said that America of all countries had the least grounds for objecting to the 
gradual exclusion of non-Germans from various professions: "America's own 
Immigration Laws had excluded from admission those belonging to races of which 
America disapproved, while America was prepared by no means prepared to open the 
gates to so-called Jewish fugitives from Germany. As a matter of fact the Jews in 
Germany had not had a hair of their heads rumpled." - Doctors Union, April 1933 

To give German nationals precedence Hitler had offered free passage and £1,000 
per Jewish person re-settlement grants: "In England people assert that their arms are 
open to welcome all the oppressed, especially the Jews who have left Germany. 
England can do this! England is big, England possesses vast territories. England is rich. 
We are small and over-populated. . . . but it would be still finer if England did not make 
her grand gesture dependent on the possession of £1,000 - if England should say: 
'Anyone can enter' - as we unfortunately have done for thirty or forty years. If we too 
had declared that no one could enter Germany save under the condition of bringing with 
him £1,000 or more, then today we should have no Jewish question at all.” - Berlin 
Sportpalast, 24th October 1933 

. . . and with heavy sarcasm: "How thankful they must be that we are releasing these 
precious apostles of culture, and placing them at the disposal of the rest of the world. In 
accordance with their own declarations they cannot find a single reason to excuse 
themselves to receive this most valuable race in their own countries. Nor can I see a 
reason why the members of this race should be imposed upon the German nation, while 
in the States, which are so enthusiastic about these 'splendid people', their settlement 



should suddenly be refused with every imaginable excuse.” - Reichstag, 30th January 
1939 

OF THE CRIMINAL FUGITIVES IN THE JEWISH COMMUNITY: "It is a fine 
thing (the Jews) to go abroad with the nimbus and the halo of one threatened with death, 
while in reality in Germany it is only the Public Prosecutor who is after you." - Berlin 
Sportpalast, 24th October 1933 

AND POLITICAL DISSIDENTS: "And as for the small part of the emigrants which 
is really out of the country for political reasons I must confess that we are glad to be rid 
of them. We do not say: Give them back to us! On the contrary we say only: Keep 
them and the longer the better." 

- Berlin Sportpalast, 24th 

October 1933 

Members of the Jewish race though representing only 1% of the German 
population had by self-discrimination insinuated themselves into the professions 
and in particular monopolising jurisprudence and medicine. Hitler said that this 
coupled with Jewish inspired trade boycotts being organised abroad legislation 
was necessary to discourage public hostility against Jewish businesses. He added 
that defining that 'to the German should be given what the German had a just claim to 
and to the Jew what the Jew could justly claim was protecting the Jew'. He pointed out 
that 'On the Kurfurstendamn in Berlin there were as many Jewish businesses as in New 
York and the other capitals, and one could see for oneself that these businesses were 
suffering absolutely no disturbance.” - Volkischer Beobachter, 28th November 1935 

STOCK EXCHANGES, FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS 
AND 'SHOP WINDOW CHRISTIANS' 

Hitler was scathing about Jewish control of the Stock Exchanges; the 
'moneyfication' of the nation's labour-strength. "I say without exception', for the 
few non-Jews who had a share in them are in the last resort nothing but screens, shop 
window Christians, whom one needs in order, for the sake of the masses, to keep up the 
appearances that these institutions were after all founded as a natural outcome of the 
needs and the economic life of all peoples alike, and were not, as was the fact, 
institutions which correspond only with the essential characteristics of the Jewish 
people."

Affairs. 1942 

"Internationalisation today means only Judaisation. We in Germany have come to this: 
that a sixty million people sees its destiny at the will of a few dozen Jewish bankers." - 
Hitler's Speeches, Baynes. Vol.l. The Institute of International Affairs. 1942 


THE PRESS 

"These journalists were real virtuosos in the art of twisting facts .." Adolf Hitler 


On the daily papers: "No means were too base, provided they could be exploited in the 
campaign of slander. These journalists were real virtuosos in the art of twisting facts and 
presenting them in a deceptive form. The theoretical literature was intended for the 
simpletons of the soi-disant intellectuals belonging to the middle and naturally, the 
upper classes. The newspaper propaganda was intended for the masses." - Mein Kampf 

"The subject matter of th e feuillietons was trivia and often pornographic. The language 
of this Press as a whole had the accent of a foreign people. The general tone was openly 
derogatory to the Germans and this must definitely have been intentional." - Mein 
Kampf 

"The Press is the chief means employed in the process of 'political enlightenment'. It 
represents a kind of school for adults. This educational activity, however, is not in the 
hands of the State but in the clutches of powers which are partly of a very inferior 
character. I was quite surprised when I realised how little time was necessary for this 
Great Power within the State to produce a certain belief among the public. It took the 
Press only a few days to transform some ridiculously trivial matter into an issue of 
national importance, while vital problems were completely ignored or filched and 
hidden away from public attention. 

The Press succeeded in the magical art of producing names from nowhere within the 
course of a few weeks. And so they made those names more popular than any man of 

real ability could ever hope to be in a long lifetime.Or sometimes such men (tried 

and trusted figures) were so vilely abused that it looked as if their names would soon 
stand as permanent symbols of the worst kind of baseness. In order to estimate properly 
the really pernicious influence which the Press can exercise one has to study the famous 
Jewish method whereby honourable and decent people were besmirched with mud and 
filth, in the form of low abuse and slander, from hundreds and hundreds of quarters 
simultaneously, as if commanded by some magical formula. These highway robbers 
would grab at anything which might serve their evil ends. 

They would poke their noses into the most intimate family affairs and would not rest 
until they had sniffed out some petty item which could be used to destroy the reputation 
of their victim. But if the result of all this sniffing should be that nothing derogatory 
was discovered in the private or public life of the victim, they continued to hurl abuse at 
him, in the belief that some of their animadversions would stick even though refuted a 
thousand times. In most cases it finally turned out impossible for the victim to continue 
his defence, because the accuser worked together with so many accomplices that his 
slanders were re-echoed interminably. But these slanderers would never own that they 
were acting out of motives which influence the common run of humanity or are 
understood by them. Oh no. The scoundrel who defamed his contemporaries in this 
villainous way would crown himself with a halo of heroic probity fashioned by unctuous 
phraseology and twaddle about his 'duties as a journalist' and other mouldy nonsense of 
that kind. When these cuttle fishes gathered together in large shoals at meetings and 
congresses they would give out a lot of slimy talk about a special kind of honour which 
they called the professional honour of the journalist. These are the kind of beings who 
fabricate more than two thirds of what is called public opinion.” - Mein Kampf 



"The Press either ignored them totally or so mutilated their speeches that the logical 
consistency was destroyed or the meaning twisted round in such a way that the public 
got only a very wrong impression regarding the aims of the movement." What the 
individual members said was not of importance. The important matter was what people 
read as coming from them. This consisted of mere extracts which had been torn out of 
context and gave an impression of incoherent nonsense, which indeed, was purposely 
meant. Thus the only public before which they really spoke consisted merely of five 
hundred parliamentarians and that says enough." * - Mein Kampf 

Roger Tarterian, Editor of United Press International paraphrased the Fuhrer 
(March, 8, 1967) when he agreed: "The bureaucratic objective is this: If you 
cannot suppress the news or control it, then for heaven's sake convert it into a 
meaningless mass of gobbledegook." 

"Many a time public opinion has been poisoned by untruthful statements in the Press, 
and by that irresponsible sensationalism which endangers the peace of nations." - Adolf 
Hitler 

In a speech delivered in Berlin, 3rd January 1935 Hitler spoke of the 'flood of lies' 
appearing in the foreign (Jewish-owned) Press: "The motto of these foes was", he 
said, "Lies always spread more quickly than the truth: then lie, lie on, and never stop: 
perhaps something may stick after all." 

"I have received many letters from journalists who agreed with me. These are proof that 
many press men are working under the compulsion of circumstances. It is the same 
with many democratic statesmen as with many journalists. They have long recognised 
the depressing Press problem, but dare not deal with it." - Adolf Hitler 

"No Government can destroy a Press if this Press serves truth and in so doing serves the 
vital interest of the people. No Press can in the long run successfully wage war against 
the truth, for even in the event of victory the Press itself in the last resort is destroyed . . 

. " - To Representatives of the Foreign Press, 6th April 1933 

"It was not intended that there should only be government newspapers in Germany; this 
would be in complete contradiction with the Government's general economic views . . . 
The battle of the National Socialists was directed only against that Press which had 
failed to recognise its duty to the nation and which refused to perform that duty - only 
against such a Press." - To the Association of German Newspaper Proprietors, 28th June 
1933 

"I welcome any foreign correspondent who reports objectively and without prejudice 
what he sees and hears in Germany, only every such correspondent, both for his own 
sake and for the sake of his reputation should take care not to put himself in such a 
position as to be forced to unsay what he has written because he has failed to estimate 
aright the importance or the expediency of the measures of our Government. Remember 
how the Press was forced to alter its opinion of Richard Wagner?" - Volkischer 
Beobachter, 5th April 1934 



DER STURMER 

Speaking of the strident anti-Semitism of this independent newspaper, Hitler in an 
interview with Mr,. Vernon Bartlett in June, 1934, asked: "Would such papers exist 
if there had not previously been the Rote Fahne (The Red Flag) and other Communist 
papers? 

Many newspapers published abroad were so bitter about Germany, that it was not 
surprising if certain German newspapers were bitter in their turn. It was most 
unfortunate, if, as a result, public opinion abroad derived a wrong idea of the new 
Germany, but it could not be helped." - News Chronicle, 25th June 1934. 

PRELUDE TO WAR 

"I realised that the fight was not against enemy nations, 
but against international capital." - Adolf Hitler 

TRADE WAR 

"The conflict of interests between Germany and England lay in the economic sphere. 
Up till 1850 England's position as a world power was undisputed. British trade 
conquered the world. Germany, owing to her greater industry and increased capacity 
begins to be a dangerous rival. In a short time those firms which in Germany were in 
English hands pass into the possession of German industrialists. German industry 
expands vastly and the products of that industry even in the London market drive out 
British goods. 

Forty thousand dead have rendered possible the life of forty millions. When England in 
the face of such a Germany as this bid fair to be brought to her knees, then she 
bethought herself of the last weapon in the armoury of international rivalry - violence. 

A Press propaganda on an imposing scale was started as a preparatory measure. But 
who is the chief of the whole British Press concerned with world trade? One name 
crystallises itself out of the rest: Northcliffe - a Jew! Every week he sends out into the 
world thirty million newspapers. And 99 per cent of the Press of England is in Jewish 
hands. 

So with the most despicable catch-phrases the appeal is made to man's lowest instincts. 
A campaign of provocation is carried out with assertions, libels and promises such as 
only Jewish newspapers would have the effrontery to put before an Aryan people. And 
then at last, 1914: they egg the people on. 'Ah, poor violated Belgium', Up! To the 
rescue of small nations - for the honour of humanity!' The same lies, the same 
provocation throughout the entire world. And the success of that provocation the 
German people can trace grievously enough." - Munich. 13th April 1923. Hitler's 
Speeches, Baynes. Royal Institute of International Affairs, 1942. 


"Joining with Samuel Untermeyer in calling for a war against Germany, Bernard 
Baruch, at the same time, was promoting preparations for war against Germany. 'I 
emphasised that the defeat of Germany and Japan and their elimination from 
world trade would give Britain a tremendous opportunity to swell her foreign 
commerce in both volume and profit." 

- Samuel Untermeyer, The Public Years, p.347 




THE WAR MONGERS 

"The German nation has no feeling of hatred towards England, America, or France; all it 
wants is peace and quiet. But these nations are continually being stirred up to hatred of 
Germany and the German people by Jewish and non-Jewish agitators. And so, should 
the warmongers achieve what they are aiming at, our own people would be landed in a 
situation for which they would be psychologically quite unprepared and which they 
would thus fail to grasp. I therefore consider it necessary that from now on our 
propaganda and our Press should always make a point of answering these attacks, and 
above all bring them to the notice of the German people. The German nation must 
know who the men are who want to bring about a war by hook or by crook. It is my 
conviction that these people are mistaken in their calculations, for when National 
Socialist propaganda is devoted to the answering of the attacks we shall succeed just as 
we succeeded inside Germany herself in overcoming, through the convincing power of 
our propaganda, the Jewish world-enemy. 

The nations will in a short time realise that National Socialist Germany wants no enmity 
with other nations; that all the assertions as to our intended attacks on other nations are 
lies - lies born of morbid hysteria, or of a mania for self-preservation on the part of 
certain politicians; but that in certain States these lies are being used by unscrupulous 
profiteers to salvage their own finances. That, above all, international Jewry may hope 
in this way to satisfy its thirst for revenge and gain, but that on the other hand this is the 
grossest defamation which can be brought to bear on a great and peace-loving nation." - 
Reichstag, 30th January 1939 

"Never have German soldiers fought on American soil, unless it was in the cause of 
American independence and freedom; but American soldiers were brought to Europe to 
help strangle a great nation which was fighting for its freedom. Germany did not attack 
America, but America attacked Germany, and, as the Committee of Investigation of the 
American House of Representatives concluded: from purely capitalist motives, without 
any other cause.” - Reichstag, 30th January 1939. 


“I believe now that Hitler and the German people did not want war. But we 
declared war on Germany, intent on destroying it, in accordance with our 
principle of balance of power, and we were encouraged by the 'Americans' around 
Roosevelt. 

We ignore Hitler's pleadings not to enter into war. Now we are forced to realise 
that Hitler was right. He offered us the co-operation of Germany; instead, since 
1945, we have been facing the immense power of the Soviet Union. I feel ashamed 
and humiliated to see that the aims we accused Hitler of, are being relentlessly 
pursued now, only under a different label." 

- The British Attorney General, Sir. Hartley Shawcross, Stourbridge, March 
16th 1984 (AP) 




ON ENGLAND’S PREPARING FOR WAR AGAINST GERMANY 

“We Germans do not feel in the least inferior to the British Nation. Our self-esteem is 
just as great as that of an Englishman for England. In the history of our people, now of 
approximately two thousand years’ standing, there are occasions and actions enough to 
fill us with sincere pride. 

Now if England cannot understand our point of view, thinking perchance she may look 
upon Germany as a vassal (slave) state, then our love and friendly feelings have indeed 
been wasted on her. 

We shall not despair or lose heart on that account, but - relying on the consciousness of 
our own strength and on the strength of our friends - we shall then find ways and means 
to secure our independence without impairing our dignity. 

I have heard the statement of the British Prime Minister to the effect that he is not able 
to put any trust in German assurances. Under the circumstances I consider it a matter of 
course that we no longer expect him or the British people to bear the burden of a 
situation which is only conceivable in an atmosphere of mutual confidence. 

When Germany became National Socialist and thus paved the way for her national 
resurrection, in pursuance of my unswerving policy of friendship with England, of my 
own accord I made the proposal for a voluntary restriction of German naval armaments. 
That restriction was, however, based on one condition, namely the will and the 
conviction that a war between England and Germany would never again be possible. 
This wish and this conviction are alive in me today. 

I am, however, now compelled to state that the policy of England is both unofficially 
and officially leaving no doubt about the fact that such a conviction is no longer shared 
in London, and that, on the contrary, the opinion prevails there that no matter in what 
conflict Germany should some day be entangled, Great Britain would always have to 
take her stand against Germany. Thus a war against Germany is taken for granted in that 
country. 

I most profoundly regret such a development, for the only claim I have ever made, and 
shall continue to make on England is that for a return of our colonies (confiscated by 
England). 

But I have always made it very clear that this would never become the cause for military 
conflict. I have always held that the English, to whom those colonies are of no value, 
would one day understand the German situation and would then value German 
friendship higher than the possession of territories which, while yielding of no real 
profit whatever to them, are of vital importance to Germany. 

Apart from this I have never advanced a claim which might in any way have interfered 
with British interests or have become a danger to the Empire and thus have meant any 
kind of damage to England. I have always kept within the limit of such demands as are 
intimately connected with Germany’s living space and thus the eternal property of the 
German nation. 

Since England today, both through the Press and officially, upholds the view that 
Germany should be opposed under all circumstances, and confirms this by the policy of 
encirclement known to us, the basis of the Naval Treaty has been removed. 

“ . . . Moreover, I know my people - and I rely on them. We do not want anything that 
did not formerly belong to us, and no State will ever be robbed by us of its property; but 
whoever believes he is able to attack Germany will find himself confronted with a 


measure of power and resistance compared with that of 1914 was negligible.” - Hitler, 
Reichstag, 28 th April 1939 

WAR-PROFITEERING 

"The million workmen who were in Berlin in 1914 have remained where they were - 
they are workmen still. Only thinner, worse clad, poor; but the 100,000 Jews from the 
East who entered Germany in the early years of the war - they arrived in poverty and 
they are now 'made men' riding in their motor cars : they have used the body of the 
people merely as a forcing ground for their own prosperity. The Jew has not grown 
poorer : he gradually gets bloated, and, if you don't believe me, I would ask you to go to 
one of our health resorts; there you will find two sorts of visitors: the German who goes 
there, perhaps for the first time for a long time, to breathe a little fresh air and to recover 
his health, and the Jew who goes there to lose his fat.” - Hitler's Speeches, Baynes. 
Vol.l. The Institute of International Affairs. 1942 

"Similarly today we see that the struggle between peoples is fostered by a folk with 
definite interests to promote. It is an uprooted international clique which incites the 
peoples one against the other. They are folk who are at home everywhere and nowhere: 
they have no soil of their own on which they have grown up: today they are living in 
Berlin, tomorrow they may be in Brussels, the day after in Paris, and then again in 
Prague, Vienna or London - everywhere they feel themselves at home. 

Everywhere they can carry on their business, but the people cannot follow them: the 
people is chained to its soil, is tied to its homeland. . . . The strength of us all lies, not in 
this international phantom, it lies in our homeland.” - Siemenstadt, Berlin, 10th 
November 1933 (Audience of workmen). 

"If our ceaseless appeals (for peace) so often remained without an answer, yet we know 
that it is not the peoples who wish for conflict and war but rather small cliques of 
international agitators whose interest is to make war, to profit from wars, but never to 
fight in wars!" - Proclamation, Nuremberg Parteitag, 5th September 1934 

"They (the Jews) use the age-old tactics of the hyena - when fighters are tired out, go for 
them. Then make your harvest! In war and revolutions the Jew attained the 
unattainable. Hundreds of thousands of escaped Orientals became modern 'Europeans'. 
Times of unrest produced miracles. Before 1914 how long would it have taken, for 
instance, in Bavaria before a Galician Jew became- Prime Minister? Or in Russia 
before an anarchist from the New York ghetto, Bronstein (alias Trotsky) became 
Dictator? Only a few wars and revolutions - that was enough to put the Jewish people 
into possession of the red gold and thereby to make them masters of the world." 
Munich. 13th, April, 1923. Hitler's Speeches, Baynes. Royal Institute of International 
Affairs, 1942 

POLAND (ENGLAND'S INCITEMENT OF) 

Hitler criticised England's incitement of Czechoslovakia and Poland which had 
lead to pogroms of their German minorities, 100,000 of whom had fled from 
Poland alone. "The unconditional assurance given by England to Poland that she 
would render assistance to that country in all circumstances regardless of the causes 



from which a conflict might spring, could only be interpreted in that country as an 
encouragement to unloosen, under cover of such a charter, a wave of appalling terrorism 
against the one and a half million German inhabitants living in Poland. The atrocities 
which since then have been taking place in that country are terrible for the victims, but 
intolerable for a Great Power such as the German Reich which is expected to remain a 
passive onlooker during these happenings. Poland has been guilty of numerous 
breaches of her legal obligations towards the Free City of Danzig, has made demands in 

the character of ultimate, and has initiated a process of economic strangulation. 

"The atmosphere," Hitler said, "had been poisoned by England; had it not been for 
England he would in 1938 have come to a peaceful agreement with Czechoslovakia just 
as in the present year he would certainly have come to an agreement with Poland. His 
fair offer to Poland had been sabotaged by the Western Powers whose military attaches, 
just as in the case of Czechoslovakia, had spread false reports of a German mobilisation. 
If England or France took any further military measures, he would order a general 
mobilisation of Germany. 

Hitler pointed out the difficulties of negotiating agreements with a militaristic 
Poland while England offered that country 'a blank cheque' - the promise to back 
Polish aggression. "The Poles (would be guaranteed a peaceful solution) if England 
ceased to encourage them today." He added that "He had sought Britain's friendship for 
twenty years only to see every offer turned down with contempt. . . England had made a 
foe of the man who wanted to be her greatest friend. England had preferred any course 
to co-operation with Germany; in her determination to annihilate Germany she had 
turned to France, to Turkey and to Moscow." 

Hitler concluded by drawing attention to Britain's (and France's) armed 
mobilisation which, according to Chamberlain's own letter, were clearly directed 
at Germany alone and added: "Since Germany has never had the intention of taking 
military measures other than those of a defensive character against England or France, 
and, as has already been emphasised, has never intended, and does not in the future 
intend, to attack England or France, it follows that this announcement as confirmed by 
you, Mr. Prime Minister, in your own letter, can only refer to a contemplated act of 
menace directed against the Reich. I therefore inform your Excellency that, in the event 
of those military announcements being carried into effect, I shall order immediate 
mobilisation of the German forces." - Sir. Neville Henderson's report, 23rd August 1939 

PRELUDE TO WAR - POLISH AGGRESSION 

In answer to the British Government’s Anglo-Polish Treaty (25 th August 1939) 
Germany’s communication said: “The assertion that Germany affected to conquer the 
world was ridiculous. The British Empire embraced 40 million square kilometres, 
America 9.5 million square kilometres whereas Germany embraced less than 600,000 
square kilometres. It is quite clear who it is who desires to conquer the world. 

The Fuhrer makes the following communication to the British Ambassador: Poland’s 
actual provocations have become intolerable. It makes no difference who is responsible. 
If the Polish Government denies responsibility, that only goes to show that it no longer 
itself possesses any influence over its subordinate military authorities. 

In the preceding night there have been a further twenty-one new frontier incidents; on 
the German side the greatest discipline has been maintained. The Polish side has 
provoked all incidents. Furthermore, commercial aircraft have been shot at. If the 




Polish Government stated that it was not responsible, it showed it was no longer capable 
of controlling its own people.” - Communication handed and verbally read out to Sir 
Neville Chamberlain, British Ambassador, 1.30pm 25 th August 1939. 

"In April, 1939, four months before Hitler invaded Poland, Ambassador William 
C. Bullitt, whom I had known for twenty years, called me to the American embassy 
in Paris. Both of us standing before the fireplace in his office, the windows of 
which faced the beautiful Place de la Accord, the American Ambassador told me 
that war had been decided upon. He did not say, nor did I ask, by whom. He let 
me infer it. When I said that in the end Germany would be driven into the arms of 
Soviet Russia and Bolshevism, the Ambassador replied: '"What of it? There will 
not be enough Germans left when the war is over to be worth bolshevising." - Karl 
von Wiegand, April 23rd 1944 

MILITARY PERCEPTIONS 

"An army without morale will be beaten however well equipped it may be." 

Adolf Hitler, Chicago Tribune , February 15th 1931 


THE ARMY 

“It has been formed not to wage wars of aggression, but to guard and protect our people, 
so that Germany may not again suffer the tragic fate which we were all forced to endure 
in this country for fifteen years. It is not to deprive other people of their freedom, but to 
protect our own German freedom: that is why the army is here.” - Nuremberg, 14 th 
September 1935 

NATIONAL SERVICE 

"Therefore we National Socialists stand for the compulsory military service for every 
man. If a State is not worth that then away with it! Then you must not complain if you 
are enslaved. But if you believe that you must be free, then you must learn to recognise 
that no one gives you freedom save your own sword." - 27th April 1923. Hitler's 
Speeches, Baynes. Royal Institute of International Affairs, 1942 

"It is impossible to build up an army and give it a sense of worth if the object of its 
existence is not the preparation of war. Armies for the preservation of peace do not 
exist; they exist only for the triumphant exertion of war.” - National-Sozialistische 
Monatshefte, No.3. 1930. 

THE NON-POLITICAL ARMY 

"As Chancellor I gave my oath into his (Field Marshall and President of the Reich, 
Hindenburg) keeping. His person is for us all inviolate. The promise which I gave him 
that I would preserve the army as a non-political instrument of the Reich is for me 
binding, both from the inmost conviction and also from the word I have given.” - 
Reichstag, 13th July 1934 

"The German Government has no need to seek successes in war, for its regime is based 
on a foundation which nothing can shake and it is supported by the confidence of the 


whole people. The Government of the German Reich needs no successes in foreign 
politics to strengthen its domestic situation." - Hamburg, 17th August 1934 

"We are especially happy today to see among us for the first time officers and men of 
the new army of the German people, that army from which almost all of us once came, 
and to which the German people will again in the future give its sons, entrusting them to 
loyal hands, that they may become brave, disciplined, reliable and trustworthy men, as 
were our soldiers in the past 

We know that our army does not educate them for a warlike militarism, any more than 
we have done. It educates them only to be reliable, decent members of the community, 
men who in the hour of need and danger will feel themselves united in loyalty with the 
nation, and who should fate confront them with the sternest ordeal, will defend the 
freedom of their people with bravery and honour. That is the meaning of our re-creation 
of our army. It has been formed not to wage wars of aggression, but to guard and 
protect our people, so that Germany may not again suffer the tragic fate that we were all 
forced to endure in this country for fifteen years. It is not to deprive other peoples of 
their freedom, but to protect our own German freedom: that is why the army is here." - 
To Party Leaders, Nuremberg, 14th September 1935 

"There is no need for you to win for the German Army a title to fame; that it possesses 
already. Your task is but to preserve that fame." - To representatives of the new 
Germany Army. Parteitag, Nuremberg. September 1935 

After the introduction of the two years period of compulsory military service, in 
his speech to the army at Nuremberg, 14th September, 1936: "What fills us today 
with so great a pride is our achievements in the field of peaceful work. The highest task 
which is set before us is the preservation and the maintenance of this achievement and 
this work. And when millions, year in and year out, are devoting their lives to this work 
in factory and workshop, in business or office, then it is but natural and reasonable that 
all should be just as ready to devote their lives to maintain that which has been created. 

It is for this purpose, my soldiers, that the nation has called upon you - not to serve any 
frivolous experiment of an extravagant Chauvinism but to stand guard over our industry, 
to stand guard over our people, to stand guard over our Germany . . . Grave times may 
come. Never will they see us hesitate, never will they find us spiritless, never cowards!" 

THE HEROISM OF THE ARMY 

"Unflinching regiments lined up and shed their blood. Batteries kept firing until the 
end. Officers and men of the Fleet, grasping their tattered colours, went down into the 
deep with songs of German faith upon their lips. And in contrast with this gallant 
demonstration of endless heroism stood the devastating cowardice of the leaders of the 
Reich and nation." - Opening of the Party Congress, Nuremberg, 6th September 1938 

"Perhaps the achievement of which I personally am most proud and which history will 
one day assuredly value most highly is that I succeeded not only in not breaking up the 
army but in making it the cadre for the new army of the German people ... as soldiers 
we began this struggle; we finished it as politicians. But the wonder of this struggle is 
that we now could give afresh to the German people its old army. . . . and as year by 



year we send our National Socialist youth into this army it will become even more 
closely united with our present-day people and with its spirit.” 

Volkischer Beobachter, 10th 

November 1936 

THE FUTILITY OF WAR 

"Or would you wish to maintain the French, the English, or the American people won 
the War? They, one and all, victors and vanquished are alike defeated: one thing raises 
itself above them all: the World Stock Exchange which has become the master of the 
people." - Munich. 13th April 1923. Hitler's Speeches, Baynes. Royal Institute of 
International Affairs, 1942 

DECLARATION OF WAR 

"...just as there have occurred, recently, twenty-one border incidents in a single night, 
there were fourteen this night, among which three were very serious .... Since dawn 
today we are shooting back. I desire nothing other than to be the first soldier of the 
German Reich. I have again put on that old coat which was the most sacred and dear to 
me of all. I will not take it off until victory is ours or - I shall not live to see the end. 
There is one word that I have never learned: capitulation." 

- Reichstag speech, 1st 
September 1939 

"SOLDIERS OF THE WESTERN FRONT! 

The hour of the decisive battle for the future of the German nation has arrived. 

For three hundred years it has been the aim of the British and French rulers to obstruct 
every real consolidation of Europe and, above all, to hold Germany in weakness and 
impotency. 

For this purpose France alone has declared war on Germany thirty-one times in the 
course of two centuries. 

But for decades past it has also been the aim of British world rulers at all costs to keep 
Germany from unity, to deny the Reich those vital possessions necessary for the 
preservation of a nation of 80 million people. 

Britain and France have carried out this policy of theirs without worrying about the 
regime that happened to rule Germany at the time. 

Their object was always to strike at the German people. 

Their responsible men admit this quite frankly. 

The object is to smash Germany and to resolve it into a number of small states. With 
that the Reich would lose its political power and with it the possibility of securing for 
the German people their vital rights on this earth. 

For this reason all my attempts at peace were rejected and war declared on us on 
September, 3rd last year. 

The German people had no hatred and no enmity for either the British or French 
peoples. 

But today we are confronted by the question whether we are to exist or perish. 

In the space of a few weeks our brave troops crushed the Polish enemy who was in the 
service of Britain and France, and thus eliminated danger from the east. Thereupon 
Britain and France decided to attack Germany from the north. 

Since April, 9th, the German armed forces have also nipped this attempt in the bud. 



Now something has happened that for months past we have regarded as a threatening 
menace. Britain and France are attempting, by their employment of a gigantic 
manoeuvre of distraction in south-eastern Europe, to thrust their way forward into the 
Ruhr district by way of Holland and Belgium. 

Soldiers of the Western Front! 

The hour for you has now arrived. 

The struggle which commences today will decide the fate of the German nation for the 
next thousand years. 

Do your duty. 

The German people, with its fervent wishes, is with you. 

- Adolf Hitler, 10th 

May 1940 

".By the sacrifice of our soldiers, by my comradeship with them right to the end, has 

been sown the seed which will spring forth in the history of Germany and of Europe in 
the resurrection of National Socialism together with a nation truly united." 

- Adolf Hitler, Last Will and Testament. April 

29 1945 

"I have all my life fought for Anglo-German friendship; the attitude adopted by British 
diplomacy, has however, convinced me of the futility of such an attempt. Should there 
be any change in this respect in the future nobody could be happier than I." 

- Hitler's reply to Chamberlain's letter of 23rd 

August 1939 

"It is not true that I wished for war in 1939, neither I nor anyone else in Germany. War 
was provoked exclusively by those international statesmen who were of Jewish race or 
who worked in the interests of international Jewry ...” - Adolf Hitler, Last Will and 
Testament. Apri, 29 1945 

"After six years of war which, in spite of all the reverses, will one day pass into history 
as the most glorious and heroic manifestation of the struggle of a people and race for its 
existence, I cannot abandon the city which is the capital of this State...." - Adolf Hitler. 

THE ARREST OF CIVILISATION 

"The application of force alone, without moral support based on a spiritual concept, can 
never bring about the destruction of an idea or arrest the propagation of it, unless one is 
ready and able ruthlessly to exterminate the last upholders of that idea even to a man, 
and also wipe out any tradition which it may tend to leave behind." - Mein Kampf 

"In death, as in my life, I defy the Jews who caused this last war, and I defy the powers 
of Darkness which they represent. I warn the British people against the aggressive 
imperialism of the Soviet Union.” - Adolf Hitler 

"The whole world may begin to burn, but the National Socialist State and Idea will 
emerge from the conflagration like platinum." - Adolf Hitler 



"The day will come when we shall make an agreement with the men of other Aryan 
nations. Then there will come a union between all of the one, good, ruling race 
throughout the world." - Adolf Hitler

enfeebled than ever." - Adolf Hitler 

"My spirit will rise from the grave and the world will see I was right." - Adolf Hitler

mission." - Adolf Hitler. 

THE COMMENTS OF GREAT STATESMEN WITH THOS OF OTHER 

OBSERVATIONS 

"I have never met a happier people than the Germans and Hitler is one of the 
greatest men. The old trust him; the young idolise him. It is the worship of a 
national hero who has saved his country.” - David Lloyd George, Daily Express, 
17.9.1936. 

WINSTON CHURCHILL. If our country were defeated I should hope we should find 
a champion as indomitable to restore our courage and lead us back to our place among 
the nations." - 'Step by Step', p.143 

WINSTON CHURCHILL "In fifteen years that have followed this resolve, he has 
succeeded in restoring Germany to the most powerful position in Europe, and not only 
has he restored the position of his country, but he has even, to a very great extent, 
reversed the results of the Great War.... the vanquished are in the process of becoming 
the victors and the victors the vanquished.... whatever else might be thought about these 
exploits they are certainly among the most remarkable in the whole history of the 
world.” - 1935. (Ironically the author of these comments had directly the opposite 
effect on his own country). 

THEODUR HEUSS : "He moved souls, the will to sacrifice, and great devotion, 
enthralling and enthusiastically inspiring everyone by his appearance." 

VISCOUNT ROTHERMERE "He has a supreme intellect. I have known only two 
other men to whom I could apply such distinction - Lord Northcliffe and Lloyd George. 
If one puts a question to Hitler, he gives an immediate, brilliant clear answer. There is 
no human being living whose promise on important matters I would trust more readily. 
He believes that Germany has a divine calling and that the German people are destined 
to save Europe from the revolutionary attacks of Communism. He values family life 
very highly, whereas Communism is its worst enemy. He has thoroughly cleansed the 
moral, ethical life of Germany, forbidden publication of obscene books, and 
performance of questionable plays and films. 


No words can describe his politeness; he disarms men as well as women and can win 
both at any time with his conciliatory, pleasant smile. He is a man of rare culture. His 
knowledge of music, the arts and architecture is profound.” - 'Warnings and 
Predictions', p.180 - 183 

HANS GRIMM: I witness with awe and admiration, that he, as nearly the first in the 
world, caused multitudes without force or any personal benefits to follow him of their 
own free will and volition." 

G.E.O KNIGHT : “Altogether, Herr Hitler has worked miracles for the new Germany. 
I anticipate that in a very short time, the Chancellor will have shown the world more 
than it ever bargained for in its wildest efforts to crush the new regime." - In Defence of 
Germany 

JACQUES BAINVILLE: "For Stressseman represented political parties which no 
longer existed, whereas Hitler enjoys the confidence of the whole of Germany expressed 
by the votes of over forty million electors.' " - l'Action Francois 

HOUSTON STEWART CHAMBERLAIN: "At one stroke you have transformed the 
state of my soul. That Germany in the greatest hour of its need can produce a Hitler 
testifies to its vitality." 

THE DAILY MAIL : "He succeeded in ascending to the highest power-position in 
Germany with very little spilling of blood or loss of human life in a land of 68 million 
inhabitants. Austria was annexed without one shot being fired." - Daily Mail, 20th, 
May, 1938 

THE OBSERVER: “I have talked with the humblest type of labourers, with merchants, 
professional men. I have yet to discover a dissenting voice to the question of loyalty to 
the Fuehrer." - John L. Garvin. 

GEORGE BERNARD SHAW : "When I said that Herr Hitler's action was right and 
inevitable, the storm of abuse that was about to bust on me was suddenly checked by 
Mr. Lloyd George saying exactly the same thing. It is inconceivable that a single vote 
should be cast against him." 

DOUGLAS REED: "Germans in their country are not less well cared for than the 
English people in theirs, but better." 

JOHN F. KENNEDY, U.S PRESIDENT: “After visiting these two places (the town of 
Berchtesgaden and Obersalzberg) you can easily understand how that within a few years 
Hitler will emerge from the hatred that surrounds him now as one of the most significant 
figures who ever lived. He had in him the stuff of which legends are made.” - Prelude 
to Leadership, The European Diary of J.F Kennedy, Summer, 1945. 

JESSE OWENS, AMERICAN NEGRO OLYMPIC ATHLETE: "When I passed the 
Chancellor he arose, waved his hand at me, and I waved back at him. I think the writers 



showed bad taste in criticising the man of the hour in Germany." - Richard D. Mandell. 
The Nazi Olympics 

THE MARQUESS OF LOTHIAN: "I think that it must be admitted that National 
Socialism has done a great deal for Germany. It has undoubtedly cleaned up Germany 
in the ordinary moral sense of the word. The defeatism, the corruption so manifest a 
characteristic in the days after the war has disappeared, at any rate from public view. It 
has given discipline and order and a sense of purpose to the great majority of young 
people who in earlier days did not know where to go or what they were living for." - 
British Ambassador, Washington, June 29th, 1937. 

JOSEPH GOEBBELS : "This century will be named and shaped after Adolf Hitler." 

EVE BRAUN TO HER SISTER: "I must write you these words so that you will not 
feel sad over our end here in the shelter. It is rather we who are filled with sorrow 
because it is your fate to live on into the chaos that will follow. For myself, I am glad to 
die here; glad to be at the side of the Fuehrer; foremost of all, glad that the horror now to 
come is spared me. 

Dr. JOSEPH GOEBBELS TO HIS STEPSON, HARALD: My Dear Harald / We sit 
locked in the Fuehrer's shelter in the R.C., fighting for lives and honour. I hardly 
believe that we shall ever see each other again; therefore, it is likely that these will be 
the last lines you will ever receive from me. I expect from you, should you outlive this 
war, that you do only that which will honour your mother and father. 

Germany will outlive this terrible war, but only if it has examples upon which to guide 
its reconstruction. Such an example we want to give here. Do not let yourself be 
confused by the uproar that will now reign throughout the world. The lies will one day 
break down under their own weight and the truth will again triumph. The hour will 
come when we shall stand pure and undefiled as our aims and beliefs have always been. 
Farewell, my dear Harald. Whether we shall ever see each other again lies in the hand 
of God. If it is not to be, then always be proud to have belonged to a family that even in 
the face of disaster remains true to the Fuehrer to the very last and true to his pure and 
Holy cause. All the best and my heartfelt greetings. Your Papa 

GENERAL LEON DEGRELLE: "Hitler was the greatest statesman Europe has ever 
known. History will prove that when whipped up emotions have died down. He was 
more matter of fact, generally more unfolded than Napoleon. Napoleon was more of a 
vanquishing, empire-founding Frenchman than a true European. Hitler, in his being a 
man of his time, dreamed of an enduring, just, honest Europe, unified by the initiative of 
the victor. A Europe however in which each ethnic group could develop according to 
their merits and accomplishments. The proof of this is that he offered Petain his hand. 
Just as Bismarck knew how to outgrow Prussia and become a German, so Hitler soon 
changed from being a German to being a European. At an early stage he disconnected 
himself from imperialistic ambition. 

Without any difficulty he began to think of himself as a European and initiated the 
creation of a Europe in which Germany - like Prussia in Bismarck's time, was to be the 
foundation stone. 



Some comrades of the Fuhrer might still have been short-sighted Pan-Germanists. But 
Hitler had the genius, the right scale, the absence of bias and the necessary vision to 
accomplish the terrific task. 

He had an authority, not to be found a second time in the history of the continent. His 
success would have established wealth and civilisation of Europe for centuries, probably 
forever. Hitler's plans for Europe would have meant a blessing for us all." 

HITLER’S LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT: "It is not true that I wished for war in 
1939, neither I nor anyone else in Germany. War was provoked exclusively by those 
international statesmen who were of Jewish race or who worked in the interests of 
international Jewry.... 

"I nourish the conviction that the hour will come when millions of men who now curse 
us will take a stand behind us to welcome the new Europe, our common creation born of 
a painful and laborious struggle and an arduous triumph - a Europe which is the symbol 
of greatness, honour, strength, honesty and justice." 

"At the time of supreme peril I must die a martyr's death for the people. But after my 
death will come something really great, an overwhelming revelation to the world of my 
mission." 

"My spirit will rise from the grave, and the world will see I was right." 

Dr. JOSEPH GOEBBELS 

“Do not let yourself be confused by the uproar that will now reign throughout the 
world. The lies will one day break down under their own weight and the truth will

ADOLF HITLER: "The day will come when we shall make an agreement with the 
men of other Aryan nations. Then there will come a union between all of the one, good, 
ruling race throughout the world.” .
