I Certainly Am Not Alone In The World With This Demand; I Am In The Best Of Company. Let It Be Said That No Self-respecting People And No Responsible Government Would Be Able To Think Or Much Less Act Differently In Such A Case. The World Has Already Seen A Great Many Wars Lost In The Past.

It Is The Last Territorial Claim Which I Have To Make In Europe, But It Is A Claim From Which I Will Not Recede And Which, God Willing, I Will Make Good.

No More Than A Famous Master Can Be Replaced And Another Take Over The Completion Of The Half-finished Painting He Has Left Behind Can The Great Poet And Thinker, The Great Statesman And The Great Soldier, Be Replaced. For Their Activity Lies Always In The Province Of Art. It Is Not Mechanically Trained But Inborn By God's Grace.

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.

The Only People I Have Been Able To Use Are Those Who Fought

If I Made Peace With Russia Today, I'd Only Attack Her Again Tomorrow. I Just Couldn't Help Myself.

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.

This Pride Of Race Is A Quality Which The German, Fundamentally, Does Not Possess. The Reason For This Is That For These Last Three Centuries The Country Has Been Torn By Internal Dissension And Religious Wars And Has Been Subjected To A Variety Of Foreign Influences, To The Influence, For Example, Of Christianity-for Christianity Is Not A Natural Religion For The Germans, But A Religion That Has Been Imported And Which Strikes No Responsive Chord In Their Hearts And Is Foreign To The Inherent Genius Of The Race. (13th February 1945)

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.

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.

It Is Eastwards, Only And Always Eastwards, That The Veins Of Our Race Must Expand. It Is The Direction Which Nature Herself Has Decreed For The Expansion Of The German Peoples.

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.

If Positive Christianity Means Love Of One's Neighbour, I.e. The Tending Of The Sick, The Clothing Of The Poor, The Feeding Of The Hungry, The Giving Of Drink To Those Who Are Thirsty, Then It Is We Who Are The More Positive Christians. For In These Spheres The Community Of The People Of National Socialist Germany Has Accomplished A Prodigious Work.

We Stand At The End Of The Age Of Reason. A New Era Of The Magical Explanation Of The World Is Rising.

The Unity Of A Nation's Spirit And Will Are Worth Far More Than The Freedom Of The Spirit And Will Of An Individual; And That The Higher Interests Involved In The Life Of The Whole Must Here Set The Limits And Lay Down The Duties Of The Interests Of The Individual.

Give Me An Athlete And I'll Give You An Army.

We Have To Put A Stop To The Idea That It Is A Part Of Everybody's Civil Rights To Say Whatever He Pleases.

Our Teachers Were Absolute Tyrants. They Had No Sympathy With Youth; Their One Object Was To Stuff Our Brains And Turn Us Into Erudite Apes Like Themselves. If Any Pupil Showed The Slightest Trace Of Originality, They Persecuted Him Relentlessly, And The Only Model Pupils Whom I Have Ever Got To Know Have All Been Failures In After-life.

The State Is A Means To An End. Its End Lies In The Preservation And Advancement Of A Community Of Physically And Psychically Homogenous Creatures.

I Hold To My Conviction That, Once This Path Of Mutual Understanding And Consideration Has Been Taken, More Will Come Of It In The End Than Through Ever So Extensive Pacts Inherently Lacking In Clarity.

It Is Not The Neutrals Or The Lukewarm Who Make History.

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.

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.

All In All, This Whole Period Of Winter 1919-20 Was A Single Struggle To Strengthen Confidence In The Victorious Might Of The Young Movement And Raise It To That Fanaticism Of Faith Which Can Move Mountains.

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

Providence Has Ordained That I Should Be The Greatest Liberator Of Humanity. I Am Freeing Man From The Restraints Of An Intelligence That Has Taken Charge, From The Dirty And Degrading Self-mortification Of A False Vision Called Conscience And Morality, And From The Demands Of A Freedom And Independence Which Only A Very Few Can Bear.

A Decision By The Fuhrer In The Express Form Of A Law Or A Decree May Not Be Scrutinized By A Judge. In Addition, The Judge Is Bound By Any Other Decision Of The Fuhrer.

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.

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.

The Seed Has Been Sown That Will Grow One Day . . . To The Glorious Rebirth Of The National Socialist Movement Of A Truly United Nation.

...we Must Pray To The Almighty Not To Refuse His Blessing To This Change And Not To Abandon Our People In The Times To Come.

What Good Fortune For Those In Power That People Do Not Think.

Being Daily Better Informed About Their Knowledge Than My Adversaries Themselves, I Argued Till Finally One Day They Applied The One Means That Wins The Easiest Victory Over Reason: Terror And Force.

Knowledge Above The Average Can Be Crammed Into The Average Man, But It Remains Dead, And In The Last Analysis Sterile Knowledge. The Result Is A Man Who May Be A Living Dictionary But Nevertheless Falls Down Miserably In All Special Situations And Decisive Moments In Life.

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.

One Should Guard Against Believing The Great Masses To Be More Stupid Than They Actually Are.

Gold Is Not Necessary. I Have No Interest In Gold. We'll Build A Solid State, Without An Ounce Of Gold Behind It. Anyone Who Sells Above The Set Prices, Let Him Be Marched Off To A Concentration. That's The Bastion Of Money.

Germany Has Solemnly Recognized And Guaranteed France Her Frontiers As Determined After The Saar Plebiscite... We Thereby Finally Renounced All Claims To Alsace-lorraine, A Land For Which We Have Fought Two Great Wars.

When An Opponent Declares, "i Will Not Come Over To Your Side," I Calmly Say, "your Child Belongs To Us Already...what Are You? You Will Pass On. Your Descendants, However, Now Stand In The New Camp. In A Short Time They Will Know Nothing Else But This New Community."

I Have Given Orders To My Death Units To Exterminate Without Mercy Or Pity Men, Women And Children Belonging To The Polish Speaking Race... After All, Who Remembers Today The Extermination Of The Armenians?

All Propaganda Must Be Popular And Its Intellectual Level Must Be Adjusted To The Most Limited Intelligence Among Those It Is Addressed To.

The Folkish State Must Not Adjust Its Entire Educational Work Primarily To The Inoculation Of Mere Knowledge, But To The Breeding Of Absolutely Healthy Bodies. The Training Of Mental Abilities Is Only Secondary.

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.

We National Socialists Must Hold Unflinchingly To Our Aim In Foreign Policy, Namely To Secure For The German People The Land And Soil To Which They Are Entitles On This Earth. And This Action Is The Only One Which, Before God And Or German Posterity, Would Make Any Sacrifice Of Blood Seem Justified: Before God, Since We Have Been Put On This Earth With The Mission Of Eternal Struggle For Our Daily Bread.

I Looked At [goering Eating Sausage] And I Knew That What They Say Was True: That Pigs Eat The Flesh Of Their Own.

To Them Belong, Not Only The Truly Great Statesmen, But All Other Great Reformers As Well. Beside Frederick The Great Stands Martin Luther As Well As Richard Wagner.

When Understanding Of The Universe Has Become Widespread, When The Majority Of Men Know That The Stars Are Not Sources Of Light But Worlds, Perhaps Inhabited Worlds Like Ours, Then The Christian Doctrine Will Be Convicted Of Absurdity.

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.

For There Is Hardly A State Or Nation In Existence Which Has Not Once Had The Misfortune, Even If It Was In The Right A Thousand Times Over, To Be Defeated By A Stronger Opponent Or A Stronger Coalition.

There Is Something Very Unhealthy About Christianity.

Thank The Lord, Germanic Democracy Means Just This: That Any Old Climber Or Moral Slacker Cannot Rise By Devious Paths To Govern His National Comrades, But That, By The Very Greatness Of The Responsibility To Be Assumed, Incompetents And Weaklings Are Frightened Of.

The Fight Against Syphilis Demands A Fight Against Prostitution, Against Prejudices, Old Habits, Against Previous Conceptions, General Views Among Them Not Least The False Prudery Of Certain Circles.

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.

Only A Handful Of Germans In The Reich Had The Slightest Conception Of The Eternal And Merciless Struggle For The German Language, German Schools, And A German Way Of Life.

The Youthful Brain Should In General Not Be Burdened With Things Ninety-five Percent Of Which It Cannot Use And Hence Forgets Again... In Many Cases, The Material To Be Learned In The Various Subjects Is So Swollen That Only A Fraction Of It Remains In The Head Of The Individual Pupil, And Only A Fraction Of This Abundance Can Find Application, While On The Other Hand It Is Not Adequate For The Man Working And Earning His Living In A Definite Field.

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.

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

The World Will Not Help, The People Must Help Themselves. Its Own Strength Is The Source Of Life. That Strength The Almighty Has Given Us To Use; That In It And Through It, We May Wage The Battle Of Our Life The Others In The Past Years Have Not Had The Blessing Of The Almighty - Of Him Who In The Last Resort, Whatever Man May Do, Holds In His Hands The Final Decision. Lord God, Let Us Never Hesitate Or Play The Coward.

The German Has Not The Slightest Notion How A People Must Be Misled If The Adherence Of The Masses Is Sought.

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.

Logical Reasoning

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 Heaviest Blow That Ever Struck Humanity Was The Coming Of Christianity. Bolshevism Is Christianity's Illegitimate Child. Both Are Inventions Of The Jew.

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.

In Relation To The Political Decontamination Of Our Public Life, The Government Will Embark Upon A Systematic Campaign To Restore The Nation's Moral And Material Health. The Whole Educational System, Theater, Film, Literature, The Press And Broadcasting - All These Will Be Used As A Means To This End.

But In The Great Hour Heaven Sent The German People A Great Man, Herr Von Cuno.

The Right Of Personal Freedom Recedes Before The Duty To Preserve The Race.

Personal Freedom

May The Time Not Be Far Off When All Other European Nations Will Come To The Realisation That The Primary Necessity Is Putting An End To The Quarrels And Strife Of Centuries And Of Building Up Of A Finer Community Of All Peoples Is: The Recognition Of A Higher Common Duty Arising Out Of Common Rights?

If, In The Course Of A Thousand Or Two Thousand Years, Science Arrives At The Necessity Of Renewing Its Points Of View, That Will Not Mean That Science Is A Liar. Science Cannot Lie, For It's Always Striving, According To The Momentary State Of Knowledge, To Deduce What Is True. When It Makes A Mistake, It Does So In Good Faith. It's Christianity That's The Liar. It's In Perpetual Conflict With Itself.

National Socialist Germany Wishes For Peace Because It Recognises The Simple Fact That No War Would Be Likely To Substantially To Ameliorate The State Of Distress In Europe. The Distress Would Probably Be Made The Greater Thereby. If Only The Leaders And Rulers Had Wanted Peace, The People Would Never Have Wished For War.

Imagine Me Going Around With A Pot Belly. It Would Mean Political Ruin.

The Greatness Of Christianity Did Not Lie In Attempted Negotiations For Compromise With Any Similar Philosophical Opinions In The Ancient World, But In Its Inexorable Fanaticism In Preaching And Fighting For Its Own Doctrine.

Y Feelings As A Christian Points Me To My Lord And Savior As A Fighter. It Points Me To The Man Who Once In Loneliness, Surrounded By A Few Followers, Recognized 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 As 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.

The Only Preventative Measure One Can Take Is To Live Irregularly.

The Conviction Of The Justification Of Using Even The Most Brutal Weapons Is Always Dependent On The Presence Of A Fanatical Belief In The Necessity Of The Victory Of A Revolutionary New Order On This Globe.

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.

Hence Today I Believe That I Am Acting In Accordance With The Will Of The Almighty Creator: By Defending Myself Against The Jew, I Am Fighting For The Work Of The Lord.

I Have Been Europe's Last Hope. She Proved Incapable Of Refashioning Herself By Means Of Voluntary Reform. She Showed Herself Impervious To Charm And Persuasion. To Take Her I Had To Use Violence. (26th February)

When Human Hearts Break And Human Hearts Despair, Then From The Twilight Of The Past The Great Conquerors Of Distress And Care, Of Disgrace And Misery, Of Spiritual Slavery And Physical Compulsion, Look Down On Them And Hold Out Their Eternal Hands To The Despairing Mortals.

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!

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 Recognized.

Secular Schools Can Never Be Tolerated Because Such A School Has No Religious Instruction And A General Moral Instruction Without A Religious Foundation Is Built On Air; Consequently, All Character Training And Religion Must Be Derived From Faith . . . We Need Believing People.

Only So You Can Appeal To Your God And Pray Him To Support And Bless Your Courage, Your Work, Your Perseverance, Your Strength, Your Resolution, And With All These Your Claim On Life.

Today Christians ... Stand At The Head Of [this Country]... I Pledge That I Never Will Tie Myself To Parties Who Want To Destroy Christianity ..

Not Until My Fourteenth Or Fifteenth Year Did I Begin To Come Across The Word 'jew,' With Any Frequency, Partly In Connection With Political Discussions.... For The Jew Was Still Characterized For Me By Nothing But His Religion, And Therefore, On Grounds Of Human Tolerance, I Maintained My Rejection Of Religious Attacks In This Case As In Others. Consequently, The Tone, Particularly That Of The Viennese Anti-semitic Press, Seemed To Me Unworthy Of The Cultural Tradition Of A Great Nation.

In The Ranks Of The Movement [national Socialist Movement], The Most Devout Protestant Could Sit Beside The Most Devout Catholic, Without Coming Into The Slightest Conflict With His Religious Convictions.

In Actual Fact The Pacifistic-humane Idea Is Perfectly All Right Perhaps When The Highest Type Of Man Has Previously Conquered And Subjected The World To An Extent That Makes Him The Sole Ruler Of This Earth… Therefore, First Struggle And Then Perhaps Pacifism.

It Is Thus Necessary That The Individual Should Finally Come To Realize That His Own Ego Is Of No Importance In Comparison With The Existence Of The Nation, That The Position Of The Individual Is Conditioned Solely By The Interests Of The Nation As A Whole.

I Want Everyone To Keep The Property That He Has Acquired For Himself According To The Principle: Benefit To The Community Precedes Benefit To The Individual. But The State Should Retain Supervision And Each Property Owner Should Consider Himself Appointed By The State. It Is His Duty Not To Use His Property Against The Interests Of Others Among His Own People. This Is The Crucial Matter.
