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.

There Is Only One Right In The World And That Right Is One's Own Strength.

Our Enemies Must Not Deceive Themselves-in The 2,000 Years Of German History Known To Us, Our People Have Never Been More United Than Today. The Lord Of The Universe Has Treated Us So Well In The Past Years That We Bow In Gratitude To A Providence Which Has Allowed Us To Be Members Of Such A Great Nation. We Thank Him That We Also Can Be Entered With Honor Into The Ever-lasting Book Of German History!

The Reason Why The Ancient World Was So Pure, Light And Serene Was That It Knew Nothing Of The Two Great Scourges : The Pox And Christianity.

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.

Pressure Or Violence Will Ever Move Us To Relinquish Our Honor Or Our Equality Of Rights.

As Soon As One Point Alone Is Removed From The Sphere Of Dogmatic Certainty, The Discussion Will Not Simply Result In A New And Better Formulation Which Will Have Greater Consistency But May Easily Lead To Endless Debates And General Confusion.

The Whole World May Begin To Burn, But The National Socialist State And Idea Will Emerge From The Conflagration Like Platinum.

I Drank My Bottle Of Milk And Ate My Morsel Of Bread Somewhere On The Outskirts, While I Circumspectly Studied My Environment Or Else Fell To Meditating On My Own Harsh Lot.

...we Understand Only The Individual's Capacity To Make Sacrifices For The Community, For His Fellow Men.

A Man Who Knows A Thing, Who Is Aware Of A Given Danger, And Sees The Possibility Of A Remedy With His Own Eyes, Has The Duty And Obligation, By God, Not To Work 'silently,' But To Stand Up Before The Whole Public Against The Evil And For Its Cure.

The Folkish-minded Man, In Particular, Has The Sacred Duty, Each In His Own Denomination, Of Making People Stop Just Talking Superficially Of God's Will, And Actually Fulfill God's Will, And Not Let God's Word Be Desecrated. For God's Will Gave Men Their Form, Their Essence And Their Abilities. Anyone Who Destroys His Work Is Declaring War On The Lord's Creation, The Divine Will.

What Is Necessary Is To Teach Each Class And Profession The Importance Of The Others. All Together Form One Mighty Body; Labourer, Peasant, And Professional Man.

The Task Of Propaganda Lies Not In A Scientific Training Of The Individual, But Rather In Directing The Masses Toward Certain Facts, Events, Necessities, Etc., The Purpose Being To Move Their Importance Into The Masses' Field Of Vision.

We Are A People Of Different Faiths, But We Are One. Which Faith Conquers The Other Is Not The Question; Rather, The Question Is Whether Christianity Stands Or Falls.... We Tolerate No One In Our Ranks Who Attacks The Ideas Of Christianity... In Fact Our Movement Is Christian. We Are Filled With A Desire For Catholics And Protestants To Discover One Another In The Deep Distress Of Our Own People.

Our National Policies Will Not Be Revoked Or Modified, Even For Scientists. If The Dismissal Of Jewish Scientists Means The Annihilation Of Contemporary German Science, Then We Shall Do Without Science For A Few Years.

Nudity Is Undignified And An Error Of Taste

The German People Have No Idea Of The Extent To Which They Have To Be Gulled In Order To Be Led.

If Providence Had Not Guided Us I Would Often Never Have Found These Dizzy Paths. Thus, It Is That We National Socialists Have In The Depths Of Our Hearts Our Faith. No Man Can Fashion World History Or The History Of Peoples Unless Upon His Purpose And His Powers There Rests The Blessing Of This Providence.

The Goal Of Female Education Must Invariably Be The Future Mother.

By Rejecting The Authority Of The Individual And Replacing It By The Numbers Of Some Momentary Mob, The Parliamentary Principle Of Majority Rule Sins Against The Basic Aristocratic Principle Of Nature.

I Saw My Enemies In Munich, And They Are Worms.

It Must Never Be Forgotten That Nothing That Is Really Great In This World Has Ever Been Achieved By Coalitions, But That It Has Always Been The Success Of A Single Victor. Coalition Successes Bear By The Very Nature Of Their Origin The Germ Of Future Crumbling, In Fact Of The Loss Of What Has Already Been Achieved. Great, Truly World-shaking Revolutions Of A Spiritual Nature Are Not Even Conceivable And Realizable Except As The Titanic Struggles Of Individual Formations, Never As Enterprises Of Coalitions.

If We Consider How Greatly He Has Sinned Against The Masses In The Course Of The Centuries, How He Has Squeezed And Sucked The Blood Again And Again; If Furthermore, We Consider How The People Gradually Learned To Hate Him For This, And Ended Up By Regarding His Existence As Nothing But Punishment Of Heaven For The Other Peoples, We Can Understand How Hard This Shift Must Be For The Jew.

Perhaps We Are Only Forerunners. Twenty Or Even A Hundred Years May Pass Before The National Socialist Idea Is Victorious; Those Who Believe In The Ideal Today May Die: But What Is A Man In The Development Of A People, Of Mankind.

The Black-haired Jewish Youth Lies In Wait For Hours On End, Satanically Glaring At And Spying On The Unsuspicious Girl Whom He Plans To Seduce, Adulterating Her Blood And Removing Her From The Bosom Of Her Own People. The Jew Uses Every Possible Means To Undermine The Racial Foundations Of A Subjugated People.

Politics Is History In The Making.

When There Is Change, It Must Not Alter The Content Of What Propaganda Is Driving At, But In The End Must Always Say The Same Thing. For Instance, A Slogan Must Be Presented From Different Angles, But The End Of All Remarks Must Always And Immutably Be The Slogan Itself. Only In This Way Can The Propaganda Have A Unified And Complete Effect.

The Folkish Philosophy Is Fundamentally Distinguished From The Marxist By Reason Of The Fact That The Former Recognizes The Significance Of Race And Therefore Also Personal Worth And Has Made These The Pillars Of Its Structure. These Are The Most Important Factors Of Its View Of Life.

Catholics And Protestants Are Fighting With One Another... While The Enemy Of Aryan Humanity And All Christendom Is Laughing Up His Sleeve.

Any Alliance Whose Purpose Is Not The Intention To Wage War Is Senseless And Useless.

I'm Sure That Nero Didn't Set Fire To Rome. It Was The Christian-bolsheviks Who Did That, Just As The Commune Set Fire To Paris In 1871 And The Communists Set Fire To The Reichstag In 1932.

National Socialism Is The Determination To Create A New Man. There Will No Longer Exist Any Individual Arbitrary Will, Nor Realms In Which The Individual Belongs To Himself. The Time Of Happiness As A Private Matter Is Over.

The Church Has Realized That Anything And Everything Can Be Built Up On A Document Of That Sort, No Matter How Contradictory Or Irreconcilable With It. The Faithful Will Swallow It Whole, So Long As Logical Reasoning Is Never Allowed To Be Brought To Bear On It.

Pacifism Is Simply Undisguised Cowardice.

Our Ideology Is Intolerant...and Peremptorily Demands...the Complete Transformation Of Public Life To Its Ideas.

For As Soon As The Procreative Faculty Is Thwarted And The Number Of Births Diminished, The Natural Struggle For Existence Which Allows Only Healthy And Strong Individuals To Survive Is Replaced By A Sheer Craze To 'save' Feeble And Even Diseased Creatures At Any Cost. And Thus The Seeds Are Sown For A Human Progeny Which Will Become More And More Miserable From One Generation To Another, As Long As Nature's Will Is Scorned.

A Folkish State Must Therefore 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.

The Fact That The Catholic Church Has Come To An Agreement With Fascist Italy ... Proves Beyond Doubt That The Fascist World Of Ideas Is Closer To Christianity Than Those Of Jewish Liberalism Or Even Atheistic Marxism.

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.

But The Most Brilliant Propagandist Technique Will Yield No Success Unless One Fundamental Principle Is Borne In Mind Constantly And With Unflagging Attention.

When A Man Is Starving In The Streets He Is Not Thinking Of Bread And Water, But Of Caviar And Champagne!

The American President Increasingly Used His Influence To Create Conflicts, Intensify Existing Conflicts, And, Above All, To Keep Conflicts From Being Resolved Peacefully. For Years This Man Looked For A Dispute Anywhere In The World, But Preferably In Europe, That He Could Use To Create Political Entanglements With American Economic Obligations To One Of The Contending Sides, Which Would Then Steadily Involve America In The Conflict And Thus Divert Attention From His Own Confused Domestic Economic Policies.

When I Go Out In The Morning And See These Men Standing In Their Queues And Look Into Their Pinched Faces, Then I Believe I Would Be No Christian, But A Very Devil, If I Felt No Pity For Them, If I Did Not, As Did Our Lord Two Thousand Years Ago, Turn Against Those By Whom Today This Poor People Are Plundered And Exposed.

All Propaganda Has To Be Popular And Has To Accommodate Itself To The Comprehension Of The Least Intelligent Of Those Whom It Seeks To Reach.

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.

For How Shall We Fill People With Blind Faith In The Correctness Of A Doctrine, If We Ourselves Spread Uncertainty And Doubt By Constant Changes In Its Outward Structure? ...here, Too, We Can Learn By The Example Of The Catholic Church. Though Its Doctrinal Edifice, And In Part Quite Superfluously, Comes Into Collision With Exact Science And Research, It Is None The Less Unwilling To Sacrifice So Much As One Little Syllable Of Its Dogmas... It Is Only Such Dogmas Which Lend To The Whole Body The Character Of A Faith.

Today I Will Once More Be A Prophet. If The International Jewish Financiers, Inside And Outside Europe, Succeed In Plunging The Nations Once More Into A World War, Then The Result Will Not Be The Bolshevisation Of The Earth, And Thus The Victory Of Jewry, But The Annihilation Of The Jewish Race In Europe!

Sparta Must Be Regarded As The First Völkisch State. The Exposure Of The Sick, Weak, Deformed Children, In Short, Their Destruction, Was More Decent And In Truth A Thousand Times More Human Than The Wretched Insanity Of Our Day Which Preserves The Most Pathological Subject.

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.

The State Dominates The Nation Because It Alone Represents It.

For When A People Is Not Willing Or Able To Fight For Its Existence- Providence In Its Eternal Justice Has Decreed That People's End.

There Is Nothing Great In The World That Does Not Owe Its Origin To The Creative Ability Of An Individual Man.

We Were Convinced That The People Need And Require This Faith. We Have Therefore Undertaken The Fight Against The Atheistic Movement, And That Not Merely With A Few Theoretical Declarations; We Have Stamped It Out.

It Would Have Been More To The Point, More Honest And More Christian, In Past Decades Not To Support Those Who Intentionally Destroyed Healthy Life 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 The Churches Were To Declare Themselves Ready To Take Over The Treatment And Care Of Those Suffering From Hereditary Diseases, We Should Be Quite Ready To Refrain From Sterilizing Them.

Only In The Steady And Constant Application Of Force Lies The Very First Prerequisite For Success. This Persistence, However, Can Always And Only Arise From A Definite Spiritual Conviction. Any Violence Which Does Not Spring From A Firm, Spiritual Base, Will Be Wavering And Uncertain.

Industry, Technology, And Commerce Can Thrive Only As Long As An Idealistic National Community Offers The Necessary Preconditions. And These Do Not Lie In Material Egoism, But In A Spirit Of Sacrifice And Joyful Renunciation.

The State Must Act As The Guardian Of A Millennial Future In The Face Of Which The Wishes And The Selfishness Of The Individual Must Appear As Nothing And Submit.

The Application Of Force Alone, Without 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 To 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.

The State Must Declare The Child To Be The Most Precious Treasure Of The People. As Long As The Government Is Perceived As Working For The Benefit Of The Children, The People Will Happily Endure Almost Any Curtailment Of Liberty And Almost Any Deprivation.

The Work That Christ Started But Could Not Finish, I - Adolf Hitler - Will Conclude.

One Of Our Most Important Tasks Will Be To Save Future Generations From A Similar Political Fate And To Maintain For Ever Watchful In Them A Knowledge Of The Menace Of Jewry. For This Reason Alone It Is Vital That The Passion Play Be Continued At Oberammergau; For Never Has The Menace Of Jewry Been So Convincingly Portrayed As In This Presentation Of What Happened In The Times Of The Romans. There One Sees In Pontius Pilate A Roman Racially And Intellectually So Superior, That He Stands Like A Firm, Clean Rock In The Middle Of The Whole Muck And Mire Of Jewry.

I Know That One Is Able To Win People Far More By The Spoken That By The Written Word, And That Every Great Movement On This Globe Owes Its Rise To The Great Speakers And Not To The Great Writers.

In The Course Of History No People Have Ever Been Given Freedom Like A Present, And If Freedom Did Not Cost Anything Than No People Would Ever Keep It! Freedom Has A High Price, And Men Must Ever Struggle To Preserve It.

Churchill Is The Very Type Of A Corrupt Journalist. There Is Not A Worse Prostitute In Politics. He Himself Has Written That It'sunimaginable What Can Be Done In War With The Help Of Lies. He's An Utterly Amoral Repulsive Creature. I'm Convinced That He Has His Place Of Refuge Ready Beyond The Atlantic. He Obviously Won't Seek Sanctuary In Canada. In Canada He'd Be Beaten Up. He'll Go To His Friends The Yankees. As Soon As This Damnable Winter Is Over, We'll Remedy All That.

The German People Are Not A Warlike Nation. It Is A Soldierly One, Which Means It Does Not Want A War, But Does Not Fear It. It Loves Peace But Also Loves Its Honor And Freedom

And So He [the Jew] Advances On His Fatal Road Until Another Force Comes Forth To Oppose Him, And In A Mighty Struggle Hurls The Heaven-stormer Back To Lucifer. Germany Is Today The Next Great War Aim Of Bolshevism. It Requires All The Force Of A Young Missionary Idea To Raise Our People Up Again, To Free Them From The Snares Of This International Serpent.

All Those Who Are Not Racially Pure Are Mere Chaff.

Truly, This Earth Is A Trophy Cup For The Industrious Man. And This Rightly So, In The Service Of Natural Selection. He Who Does Not Possess The Force To Secure His Lebensraum In This World, And, If Necessary, To Enlarge It, Does Not Deserve To Possess The Necessities Of Life. He Must Step Aside And Allow Stronger Peoples To Pass Him By.

For It Was By The Will Of God That Men Were Made Of A Certain Bodily Shape, Were Given Their Natures And Their Faculties. Whoever Destroys His Work Wages War Against God's Creation And God's Will.

The Greatness Of Every Mighty Organization Embodying An Idea In This World Lies In The Religious Fanaticism And Intolerance With Which, Fanatically Convinced Of Its Own Right, It Intolerantly Imposes Its Will Against All Others.

The Western Democracy Of Today Is The Forerunner Of Marxism Which Without It Would Not Be Thinkable. It Provides This World Plague With The Culture In Which Its Germs Can Spread.

Propaganda Tries To Force A Doctrine On The Whole People; The [party] Organization Embraces Within Its Scope Only Those Who Do Not Threaten On Psychological Grounds To Become A Brake On The Further Dissemination Of Ideas.

The Attack Against Dogmas As Such, Therefore, Strongly Resembles The Struggle Against The General Legal Foundations Of A State, And , As The Latter Would End In A Total Anarchy Of The State, The Former Would End In A Worthless Religious Nihilism.

For The Greater A Man's Works For The Future, The Less The Present Can Comprehend Them; The Harder His Fight, And The Rarer Success. If, However, Once In Centuries Success Does Come To A Man, Perhaps In His Latter Days A Faint Beam Of His Coming Glory May Shine Upon Him.

In The Spanish People There Is A Mixture Of Gothic, Frankish And Moorish Blood. One Can Speak Of The Spaniard As One Would Speak Of A Brave Anarchist. The Arabian Epoch-the Arabs Look Down On The Turks As They Do On Dogs-was The Most Cultured, The Most Intellectual And In Every Way Best And Happiest Epoch In Spanish History. It Was Followed By The Period Of The Persecutions With Its Unceasing Atrocities.

The Great Masses Of People Do Not Consist Of Philosophers; Precisely For The Masses, Faith Is Often The Sole Foundation Of A Moral Attitude. The Various Substitutes Have Not Proved So Successful From The Standpoint Of Results That They Could Be Regarded As A Useful Replacement For Previous Religious Creeds. But If Religious Doctrine And Faith Are Really To Embrace The Broad Masses, The Unconditional Authority Of The Content Of This Faith Is The Foundation Of All Efficacy.

Pride In One's Own Race - And That Does Not Imply Contempt For Other Races - Is Also A Normal And Healthy Sentiment. I Have Never Regarded The Chinese Or The Japanese As Being Inferior To Ourselves.

They Have The Right To Be Proud Of Their Past, Just As We Have The Right To Be Proud Of The Civilization To Which We Belong. Indeed, I Believe The More Steadfast The Chinese And The Japanese Remain In Their Pride Of Race, The Easier I Shall Find It To Get On With Them.

Besides, There Is More That Binds Us To Bolshevism Than Separates Us From It. There Is, Above All, Genuine, Revolutionary Feeling, Which Is Alive Everywhere In Russia Except Where There Are Jewish Marxists. I Have Always Made Allowance For This Circumstance, And Given Orders That Former Communists Are To Be Admitted To The Party At Once. The Petit Bourgeois Social-democrat And The Trade-union Boss Will Never Make A National Socialist, But The Communist Always Will.

Our German Language Has A Word Which In A Magnificent Way Denotes Conduct Based On This Spirit: Doing One's Duty [pflichterfüllung]-which Means Serving The Community Instead Of Contenting Oneself. We Have A Word For The Basic Disposition Which Underlies Conduct Of This Kind In Contrast To Egoism And Selfishness-idealism. By 'idealism' We Mean Only The Ability Of The Individual To Sacrifice Himself For The Whole, For His Fellow Men.

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.

Then With The Advent Of Christianity, Came The Barbarians.

Under The Guidance Of The Reich, Europe Would Speedily Have Become Unified. Once The Jewish Poison Had Been Eradicated, Unification Would Have Been An Easy Matter. France And Italy, Each Defeated In Turn At An Interval Of A Few Months By The Two Germanic Powers, Would Have Been Well Out Of It. Both Would Have Had To Renounce Their Inappropriate Aspirations To Greatness. At The Same Time They Would Have Had To Renounce Their Pretensions In North Africa And The Near East; And That Would Have Allowed Europe To Pursue A Bold Policy Of Friendship Towards Islam.

Whoever Lights The Torch Of War In Europe Can Wish For Nothing But Chaos. We, However, Live In The Firm Conviction Our Times Will See Not The Decline But The Renaissance Of The West. It Is Our Proud Hope And Our Unshakable Belief Germany Can Make An Imperishable Contribution To This Great Work.

There Is, Then, No Danger In The Circumstances That Anti-semitism Will Disappear, For It Is The Jews Themselves Who Add Fuel To Its Flames And See That It Is Kept Well Stoked. Before The Opposition To It Can Disappear, The Malady Itself Must Disappear. And From That Point Of View, You Can Rely On The Jews: As Long As They Survive, Anti-semitism Will Never Fade.
