It Doesn't Dawn On This Depraved Bourgeois World That This Is Positively A Sin Against All Reason; That It Is Criminal Lunacy To Keep On Drilling A Born Half-ape Until People Think They Have Made A Lawyer Out Of Him, While Millions Of Members Of The Highest Culture- Race Must Remain In Entirely Unworthy Positions; That It Is A Sin Against The Will Of The Eternal Creator If His Most Gifted Beings By The Hundreds And Hundreds Of Thousands Are Allowed To Degenerate In The Present Proletarian Morass, While Hottentots And Zulu Kaffirs Are Trained For Intellectual Professions.

The Main Fighter For The Dsp [deutsch-sozialistische Partei Or German Socialist Party], As I Have Said, Was Julius Streicher, Then A Teacher In Nuremberg. At First He, Too, Had A Holy Conviction Of The Mission And The Future Of His Movement.

Thus, Protestantism Will Always Stand Up For The Advancement Of All Germans As Such, As Long As Matters Of Inner Purity Or National Deepening As Well As German Freedom Are Involved, Since All These Things Have A Firm Foundation In Its Own Being; But It Combats With The Greatest Hostility Any Attempt To Rescue The Nation From The Embrace Of Its Most Mortal Enemy, Since Its Attitude Toward The Jews Just Happens To Be More Or Less Dogmatically Established.

When I Recall My Teachers At School, I Realise That Half Of Them Were Abnormal. . . . We Pupils Of Old Austria Were Brought Up To Respect Old People And Women. But On Our Professors We Had No Mercy; They Were Our Natural Enemies. The Majority Of Them Were Somewhat Mentally Deranged, And Quite A Few Ended Their Days As Honest-to-god Lunatics! . . .

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!

As Long As The National Socialist Movement Is Leading Germany-and That Will Be The Case For The Next Few Centuries, No Matter How Often Our Emigrants Conjure Up The Opposite View- This Opinion Will Not Change.

A Sharp Difference Should Exist Between General Education And Specialized Knowledge. As Particularly Today The Latter Threatens More And More To Sink Into The Service Of Pure Mammon, General Education, At Least In Its More Ideal Attitude, Must Be Retained As A Counterweight.

I Speak In The Name Of The Entire German People When I Assure The World That We All Share The Honest Wish To Eliminate The Enmity That Brings Far More Costs Than Any Possible Benefits.

Christianity Could Not Content Itself With Building Up Its Own Altar; It Was Absolutely Forced To Undertake The Destruction Of The Heathen Altars. Only From This Fanatical Intolerance Could Its Apodictic Faith Take Form; This Intolerance Is, In Fact, Its Absolute Presupposition.

Lord God, Let Us Never Hesitate Or Play The Coward.

Only Force Rules. Force Is The First Law

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.

I Am A German Nationalist, That Means I Am Openly Committed To My Volkstrum. All Of My Thoughts And Actions Belong To It. I Am A Socialist. I See Before Me No Class Or Rank, But Rather A Community Of People Who Are Connected By Blood, United By Language, And Subject To The Same Collective Fate.

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.

The National Government Will Regard It As Its First And Foremost Duty To Revive In The Nation The Spirit Of Unity And Cooperation.

Indeed, Nearly All Attempts To Exterminate A Doctrine And Its Organizational Expression, By Force Without Spiritual Foundation, Are Doomed To Failure, And Not Seldom End With The Exact Opposite Of The Desired Result.

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.

This Game Is Repeated Again And Again, And In It The Role Of The So-called 'german Princes' Is Just As Miserable As That Of The Jews Themselves. These Lords Were Really God's Punishment For Their Beloved Peoples And Find Their Parallels Only In The Various Ministers Of The Present Time.

If The War Is Lost, The Nation Will Also Perish. This Fate Is Inevitable. There Is No Necessity To Take Into Consideration The Basis Which The People Will Need To Continue A Most Primitive Existence. On The Contrary, It Will Be Better To Destroy Things Ourselves Because This Nation Will Have Proved To Be The Weaker One And The Future Will Belong Solely To The Stronger Eastern Nation [russia]. Besides, Those Who Remain After The Battle Are Only The Inferior Ones, For The Good Ones Have Been Killed.

While Both Denominations Maintain Missions In Asia And Africa In Order To Win New Followers For Their Doctrine- An Activity Which Can Boast But Very Modest Success Compared To The Advance Of The Mohammedan Faith In Particular- Right Here In Europe They Lose Millions And Millions Of Inward Adherents Who Either Are Alien To All Religious Life Or Simply Go Their Own Ways. The Consequences, Particularly From A Moral Point Of View, Are Not Favorable.

It Is Always More Difficult To Fight Successfully Against Faith Than Against Knowledge.

For The Sake Of Historical Truth I Must Verify That Only The Greeks, Of All The Adversaries Who Confronted Us, Fought With Bold Courage And Highest Disregard Of Death.

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.

Anyone Who Dares To Lay Hands On The Highest Image Of The Lord Commits Sacrilege Against The Benevolent Creator Of This Miracle And Contributes To The Expulsion From Paradise.

Blood Mixture And The Result Drop In The Racial Level Is The Sole Cause Of The Dying Out Of Old Cultures; For Men Do Not Perish As A Result Of Lost Wars, But By The Loss Of That Force Of Resistance Which Is Continued Only In Pure Blood. All Who Are Not Of Good Race In This World Are Chaff.

By The Skillful And Sustained Use Of Propaganda, One Can Make A People See Even Heaven As Hell Or An Extremely Wretched Life As Paradise.

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....

What We Suffer From Today Is An Excess Of Education.

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.

Then We'll Work A Hundred Years Without Physics And Chemistry.

I Am Convinced That 1941 Will Be The Crucial Year Of A Great New Order In Europe. The World Shall Open Up For Everyone. Privileges For Individuals, The Tyranny Of Certain Nations And Their Financial Rulers Shall Fall. And Last Of All This Year Will Help To Provide The Foundations Of A Real Understanding Among Peoples, And With It The Certainty Of Conciliation Among Nations. . . . Those Nations Who Are Still Opposed To Us Will Some Day Recognize The Greater Enemy Within. Then They Will Join Us In A Combined Front, A Front Against Jewish Exploitation And Racial Degeneration.

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.

Germany Suffered Most As A Consequence Of This Peace Treaty And The General Insecurity Which Was Bound To Arise From It.

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.

We Are All Proud That Through God's Powerful Aid, We Have Become Once More True Germans

The Great Masses Of People Do Not Consist Of Philosophers; Precisely For The Masses, Faith Is Often The Sole Foundation Of A Moral Attitude. ... For The Political Man, The Value Of A Religion Must Be Estimated Less By Its Deficiencies Than By The Virtue Of A Visibly Better Substitute.

How Can One Expect A State Like That To Hold Together?

I Shall Not Rest Until Every German Sees That It Is A Shameful Thing To Be A Lawyer.

When People Attempt To Rebel Against The Iron Logic Of Nature, They Come Into Conflict With The Very Same Principles To Which They Owe Their Existence As Human Beings. Their Actions Against Nature Must Lead To Their Own Downfall.

I Am Convinced That Nothing Will Happen To Me, For I Know The Greatness Of The Task For Which Providence Has Chosen Me.

Christianity [is] A Rebellion Against Natural Law, A Protest Against Nature.

We Have Now Armed To Such An Extent As The World Has Never Before Seen.

With The Defeat Of The Reich And Pending The Emergence Of The Asiatic, The African And, Perhaps, The South American Nationalisms, There Will Remain In The World Only Two Great Powers Capable Of Confronting Each Other-the United States And Soviet Russia. The Laws Of Both History And Geography Will Compel These Two Powers To A Trial Of Strength, Either Military Or In The Fields Of Economics And Ideology. (2nd April 1945)

Neither I Nor Anyone Else In Germany Would Even Consider Placing Any "conditions" On Our Possible Return To The League Of Nations. Whether Or Not We Return To This Body Depends Exclusively Upon Whether We Can Belong To It As A Completely Equal Nation. This Is Not A "condition," But A Matter Of Course.

If Dr. Karl Lueger Had Lived In Germany, He Would Have Been Ranked Among The Great Minds Of Our People.

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.

If Only One Country, For Whatever Reason, Tolerates A Jewish Family In It, That Family Will Become The Germ Center For Fresh Sedition. If One Little Jewish Boy Survives Without Any Jewish Education, With No Synagogue And No Hebrew School, It [judaism] Is In His Soul. Even If There Had Never Been A Synagogue Or A Jewish School Or An Old Testament, The Jewish Spirit Would Still Exist And Exert Its Influence.
