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.

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.

The Universalists, The Idealists, The Utopians All Aim Too High. They Give Promises Of An Unattainable Paradise, And By Doing So They Deceive Mankind. Whatever Label They Wear, Whether They Call Themselves Christians, Communists, Humanitarians, Whether They Are Merely Sincere But Stupid Or Wire-pullers And Cynics, They Are All Makers Of Slaves. I Myself Have Always Kept My Eye Fixed On A Paradise Which, In The Nature Of Things, Lies Well Within Our Reach. I Mean An Improvement In The Lot Of The German People. (21st February 1945)

Believe Me, National Socialism Would Not Be Worth Anything If It Were To Be Confined To Germany And Did Not Secure The Rule Of The Superior Race Over The Whole World For At Least One Or Two Thousand Years.

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.

I Began To Study Again, And Now For The First Time Really Achieved An Understanding Of The Content Of The Jew Karl Marx's Life Effort. Only Now Did His Capital Become Really Intelligible To Me, And Also The Struggle Of The Social Democracy Against The National Economy, Which Aims Only To Prepare The Ground For The Domination Of Truly International Finance And Stock Exchange Capital.

I Follow My Course With The Precision And Security Of A Sleepwalker.

The Personification Of The Devil As The Symbol Of All Evil Assumes The Living Shape Of The Jew.

Everlasting Peace Will Come To The World When The Last Man Has Slain The Last But One.

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.

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 Of Adders.

...our Cities Of The Present Lack The Outstanding Symbol Of National Community Which, We Must Therefore Not Be Surprised To Find, Sees No Symbol Of Itself In The Cities. The Inevitable Result Is A Desolation Whose Practical Effect Is The Total Indifference Of The Big-city Dweller To The Destiny Of His City.

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.

I Desire A Violent, Domineering, Fearless, And Ferocious Upcoming Generation. It Must Be Able To Bear Pain. It Must Show No Signs Whatsoever Of Weakness Or Tenderness. The Free And Magnificent Predator Must Once Again Glint From Their Eyes.

The Stronger Must Dominate And Not Blend With The Weaker, Thus Sacrificing His Own Greatness.

It Is A Mistake To Make Propaganda Many-sided, Like Scientific Instruction, For Instance... As Soon As You Sacrifice This Slogan And Try To Be Many-sided, The Effect Will Piddle Away, For The Crowd Can Neither Digest Nor Retain The Material Offered.

A Man Does Not Die For Something Which He Himself Does Not Believe In.

Differentiation Of Treatment Is Not Motivated By The Difference Of Value Of The Two Races, But Of The Fundamental Difference Of Their Respective Natures.

A Man Who Has No Sense Of History Is Like A Man Who Has No Ears Or No Eyes.

As Long As The League Of Nations Constitutes Only A Treaty Of Guarantee For The Victorious Nations, It Is By No Means Worthy Of Its Name.

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.

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

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.

What We Suffer From Today Is An Excess Of Education.

The Great Strength Of The Totalitarian State Is That It Forces Those Who Fear It To Imitate It.

The Root Of The Whole Evil Lay, Particularly In Schonerer's Opinion, In The Fact That The Directing Body Of The Catholic Church Was Not In Germany, And That For This Very Reason Alone It Was Hostile To The Interests Of Our Nationality.

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.

National Socialism Will Use Its Own Revolution For Establishing Of A New World Order.

World Government

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.

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.

Only Constant Repetition Will Finally Succeed In Imprinting An Idea On The Memory Of The Crowd.

The Government Of The Reich, Who Regard Christianity As The Unshakable Foundation Of The Morals And Moral Code Of The Nation, Attach The Greatest Value To Friendly Relations With The Holy See And Are Endeavouring To Develop Them.

How Fortunate For Leaders That Men Do Not Think (also, What Luck For Rulers That Men Do Not Think).

But The Most Brilliant Propagandist Technique Will Yield No Success Unless One Fundamental Principle Is Borne In Mind Constantly And With Unflagging Attention. It Must Confine Itself To A Few Points And Repeat Them Over And Over. Here, As So Often In This World, Persistence Is The First And Most Important Requirement For Success.

The Efficiency Of A Truly National Leader Consists Primarily In Preventing The Division Of The Attention Of A People, And Always In Concentrating It On A Single Enemy.

The Broad Mass Of A Nation Will More Easily Fall Victim To A Big Lie Than A Small One. The Greater The Lie, The Greater Chance That It Will Be Believed. All Epoch-making Events Have Been Produced Not By The Written, But The Spoken Word.

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.

Our Strength Lies In Our Intensive Attacks And Our Barbarity...after All, Who Today Remembers The Genocide Of The Armenians?

I Am Insulted By The Persistent Asertion That I Want War. Am I A Fool? War! It Would Settle Nothing.

Society's Needs Come Before The Individuals Needs

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. It Has Been There From The Beginning And There Is No Jew, Not A Single One, Who Does Not Personify It.

I Am Liberating Man From The Degrading Chimera Known As `conscience'.

Gentlemen, You Are About To Witness The Most Famous Victory In History.

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

It May Be That Today Gold Has Become The Exclusive Ruler Of Life, But The Time Will Come When Man Will Again Bow Down Before A Higher God.

What We Have To Fight For...is The Freedom And Independence Of The Fatherland, So That Our People May Be Enabled To Fulfill The Mission Assigned To It By The Creator.

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.

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

Help Yourself, Then God Will Also Help You!

The Fact That The Vatican Is Concluding A Treaty With The New Germany Means The Acknowledgement Of The National Socialist State By The Catholic Church. This Treaty Shows The Whole World Clearly And Unequivocally That The Assertion That National Socialism Is Hostile To Religion Is A Lie.

The National Socialist Movement Has Wrought This Miracle. If Almighty God Granted Success To This Work, Then The Party Was His Instrument.

Every New Invention Has Been A Protest Of Genius Against The Masses.

The Beginning Of Every War Is Like Opening The Door Into A Dark Room. One Never Knows What Is Hidden In The Darkness.

But It Would Be Absolutely Mistaken To Regard A Wealth Of Theoretical Knowledge As Characteristic Proof For The Qualities And Abilities Of A Leader.

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.

I Believe Today That My Conduct Is In Accordance With The Will Of The Almighty Creator.

Particularly The Broad Masses Of The People Can Be Moved Only By The Power Of Speech.

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.

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

The National Socialist Movement, Which Aims At Establishing The National Socialist People's State, Must Always Bear Steadfastly In Mind The Principle That Every Future Institution Under That State Must Be Rooted In The Movement Itself.

The Receptivity Of The Masses Is Very Limited, Their Intelligence Is Small, But Their Power Of Forgetting Is Enormous. In Consequence Of These Facts, All Effective Propaganda Must Be Limited To A Very Few Points And Must Harp On These In Slogans Until The Last Member Of The Public Understands What You Want Him To Understand By Your Slogan.

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 Size Of The Lie Is A Definite Factor In Causing It To Be Believed.

All Propaganda Must Be Confined To A Few Bare Necessities And Then Must Be Expressed In A Few Stereotyped Formulas . . . Only Constant Repetition Will Finally Succeed In Imprinting An Idea Upon The Memory Of A Crowd.

The Purest Idealism Is Unconsciously Equivalent To The Deepest Knowledge.

Outward Appearance

You See, It's Been Our Misfortune To Have The Wrong Religion. Why Didn't We Have The Religion Of The Japanese, Who Regard Sacrifice For The Fatherland As The Highest Good? The Mohammedan Religion [islam] Too Would Have Been More Compatible To Us Than Christianity. Why Did It Have To Be Christianity With Its Meekness And Flabbiness?

A People Of Scholars, If They Are Physically Degenerate, Weak-willed And Cowardly Pacifists, Will Not Storm The Heavens, Indeed, They Will Not Be Able To Safeguard Their Existence On This Earth.

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.

After 15 Years Of Work I Have Achieved, As A Common German Soldier And Merely With My Fanatical Willpower, The Unity Of The German Nation, And Have Freed It From The Death Sentence Of Versailles.

I Believe In Providence And I Believe Providence To Be Just. Therefore I Believe That Providence Always Rewards The Strong, The Industrious, And The Upright.

Germany Suffered Most As A Consequence Of This Peace Treaty And The General Insecurity Which Was Bound To Arise From It. The Unemployment Figure Rose To A Third Of The Number Usually Employed In The Nation, Which Means, However, That By Counting The Families Of The Unemployed As Well There Were 26 Million People In Germany Out Of A Population Of 65 Millions Faced By An Absolutely Hopeless Future.

German Equality Of Rights Is The Prerequisite For Any Participation On Germany's Part In International Conventions And Agreements.

The Moment In Paris Where I Saluted Napoleon's Tomb Was One Of The Proudest Of My Life.

Either One Is Factually Equal, And Consequently Morally Equal As Well; On The Other Hand, If One Is Morally Equal, There Is No Reason Why One Should Contest Factual Equality Of Rights Or Simply Refuse To Grant Them.

What Luck, For Governments, That The People Are Stupid!

To Be A Leader Means To Be Able To Move Masses

State Authority 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 Instruments 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.

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)

When Diplomacy Ends, War Begins.

The Broad Masses Of A Population Are More Amenable To The Appeal Of Rhetoric Than To Any Other Force.

It Must Be Thoroughly Understood That The Lost Land Will Never Be Won Back By Solemn Appeals To The God, Nor By Hopes In Any League Of Nations, But Only By The Force Of Arms.

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

Besides That, I Believe One Thing: There Is A Lord God! And This Lord God Creates The Peoples.

Once Again The Songs Of The Fatherland Roared To The Heavens Along The Endless Marching Columns, And For The Last Time The Lord's Grace Smiled On His Ungrateful Children.

I Wouldn't Watch Football If It Wasn't For Lord Bendtner

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

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.

...the Existence And Increase Of Our Race And Nation, The Sustenance Of Its Children And The Purity Of Its Blood, The Freedom And Independence Of The Fatherland, And The Nation's Ability To Fulfill The Mission Appointed To It By The Creator Of The Universe.

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 Over Long Periods Of Human History I Scrutinized The Activity Of The Jewish People, Suddenly There Arose Up In Me The Fearful Question Whether Inscrutable Destiny, Perhaps For Reasons Unknown To Us Poor Mortals, Did Not, With Eternal And Immutable Resolve, Desire The Final Victory Of This Little Nation.

The Young [nazi] Movement Is In Its Nature And Inner Organization Anti-parliamentarian; That Is, It Rejects... A Principle Of Majority Rule In Which The Leader Is Degraded To The Level Of Mere Executant Of Other People's Wills And Opinion.

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

Theater, Art, Literature, Cinema, Press, Posters, And Window Displays Must Be Cleansed Of All Manifestations Of Our Rotting World And Placed In The Service Of A Moral, Political, And Cultural Idea.

The Party, As Such, Stands For Positive Christianity, But Does Not Bind Itself In The Matter Of Creed To Any Particular Confession.

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. Only Today, When The Same Deplorable Misery Is Forced On Many Millions Of Germans From The Reich, Who Under Foreign Rule Dream Of Their Common Fatherland And Strive, Amid Their Longing, At Least To Preserve Their Holy Right To Their Mother Tongue, Do Wider Circles Understand What It Means To Be Forced To Fight For One's Nationality.

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.

Not As Tyrants Have We Come, But As Liberators.

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.

If Today I Stand Here As A Revolutionary, It Is As A Revolutionary Against The Revolution.

I Will Not Wage War Against Women And Children! I Have Instructed My Air Force To Limit Their Attacks To Military Objectives. However, If The Enemy Should Conclude From This That He Might Get Away With Waging War In A Different Manner He Will Receive An Answer That He'll Be Knocked Out Of His Wits!

Of Course, Even The General Designation 'religious' Includes Various Basic Ideas Or Convictions, For Example, The Indestructibility Of The Soul, The Eternity Of Its Existence, The Existence Of A Higher Being, Etc. But All These Ideas, Regardless Of How Convincing They May Be For The Individual, Are Submitted To The Critical Examination Of This Individual And Hence To A Fluctuating Affirmation Or Negation Until Emotional Divination Or Knowledge Assumes The Binding Force Of Apodictic Faith.

The Aryan Stands Firm, One With God In His Attitude To The World And Its People.

Everything On This Earth Can Be Made Into Something Better. Every Defeat May Be Made The Foundation Of A Future Victory. Every Lost War May Be The Cause Of A Later Resurgence. Every Visitation Of Distress Can Give A New Impetus To Human Energy. And Out Of Every Oppression Those Forces Can Develop Which Bring About A New Rebirth.

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

I Believe That Providence Would Never Have Allowed Us To See The Victory Of The Movement If It Had The Intention After All To Destroy Us At The End.

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.

More Than Once I Was Tormented By The Thought That If Providence Had Put Me In The Place Of The Incapable Of Criminal Incompetents Or Scoundrels In Our Propaganda Service, Our Battle With Destiny Would Have Taken A Different Turn.

To Whom Should Propaganda Be Addressed? To The Scientifically Trained Intelligentsia Or The Less Educated Masses? It Must Be Addressed Always And Exclusively To The Masses.

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 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.

I Had So Often Sung 'deutschland U:ber Alles' And Shouted 'heil' At The Top Of My Lungs, That It Seemed To Me Almost A Belated Act Of Grace To Be Allowed To Stand As A Witness In The Divine Court Of The Eternal Judge And Proclaim The Sincerity Of This Conviction.

The German People In Its Whole Character Is Not Warlike, But Rather Soldierly, That Is, While They Do Not Want War, They Are Not Frightened By The Thoughts Of It.

I Hold That This Must Be Said, For Treaties Only Make Sense When Concluded By Honor-loving Peoples And Honor-conscious Governments. Germany Wishes To Establish Honest Relations With The Peoples Of Neighboring Countries. We Have Done This In The East, And I Believe That Not Only Berlin But Warsaw As Well Will Rejoice In The Decontamination Of The Atmosphere Brought About Through Our Joint Efforts.

The Essential Thing Is The Formation Of The Political Will Of The Nation: That Is The Starting Point For Political Action.

Consequently, The Value And Importance Of The Monarchic Idea Cannot Reside In The Person Of The Monarch Himself Except If Heaven Decides To Lay The Crown On The Brow Of The Heroic Genius Like Frederick The Great Or A Wise Character Like William I.

Worst Of All, However, Is The Devastation Wrought By The Misuse Of Religious Conviction For Political Ends. In Truth, We Cannot Sharply Enough Attack Those Wretched Crooks Who Would Like To Make Religion An Implement To Perform Political Or Rather Business Services For Them.

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. (13th February 1945)

If You Wish The Sympathy Of The Broad Masses, You Must Tell Them The Crudest And Most Stupid Things.

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.

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.

England, Unlike In 1914, Will Not Allow Herself To Blunder Into A War Lasting For Years.... Such Is The Fate Of Rich Countries.. .not Even England Has The Money Nowadays To Fight A World War. What Should England Fight For? You Don't Get Yourself Killed Over An Ally.

The [national Socialist] Party...is Convinced That Our Nation Can Achieve Permanent Health Only From Within On The Basis Of The Principle: The Common Interest Before Self-interest.

Why Should This War In The West Be Fought For The Restoration Of Poland? The Poland Of The Versailles Treaty Will Never Rise Again.

My Feeling As A Christian Points Me To My Lord And Savior... I Am Fighting For The Work Of The Lord.

As Soon As By One's Own Propaganda Even A Glimpse Of Right On The Other Side Is Admitted, The Cause For Doubting One's Own Right Is Laid.

The Size Of The Lie Is A Definite Factor In Causing It To Be Believed, For The Vast Masses Of The Nation Are In The Depths Of Their Hearts More Easily Deceived Than They Are Consciously And Intentionally Bad. The Primitive Simplicity Of Their Minds Renders Them A More Easy Prey To A Big Lie Than A Small One, For They Themselves Often Tell Little Lies But Would Be Ashamed To Tell A Big One.

I'll Put An End To The Idea That A Woman's Body Belongs To Her... Nazi Ideals Demand That The Practice Of Abortion Shall Be Exterminated With A Strong Hand.

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.

Belief Is Harder To Shake Than Knowledge.

The Future Of A Movement Is Conditioned By The Fanaticism, Yes, The Intolerance, With Which Its Adherents Uphold It As The Sole Correct Movement, And Push It Past Other Formations Of A Similar Sort.

The Jew Has Always Been A People With Definite Racial Characteristics And Never A Religion.

Characteristics

There Is Something Very Unhealthy About Christianity.

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.

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.

Only In The Struggle Between Two Philosophies Can The Weapon Of Brutal Force, Persistently And Ruthlessly Applied, Lead To A Decision For The Side It Supports.

The Great Masses Of The People Will More Easily Fall Victims To A Big Lie Than To A Small One.

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.

Never Forget That The Most Sacred Right On This Earth Is Mans Right To Have The Earth To Till With His Own Hands, The Most Sacred Sacrifice The Blood That A Man Sheds For This Earth.

If The German Nation Wants To End A State Of Affairs That Threatens Its Extermination In Europe, It Must Not Fall Into The Error Of The Pre-war Period And Make Enemies Of God And The World; It Must Recognize The Most Dangerous Enemy And Strike At Him With All Its Concentrated Power. And If This Victory Is Obtained Through Sacrifices Elsewhere, The Coming Generations Of Our People Will Not Condemn Us.

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.

For One Cannot Assume That God Exists To Help People Who Are Too Cowardly And Too Lazy To Help Themselves And Think That God Exists Only To Make Up For The Weakness Of Mankind. He Does Not Exist For That Purpose. He Has Always, At All Times, Blessed Only Those Who Were Prepared To Fight Their Own Battles.

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

I Say That They Can Be Solved; There Is No Problem That Cannot Be, But Faith Is Necessary. Think Of The Faith I Had To Have Eighteen Years Ago, A Single Man On A Lonely Path. Yet I Have Come To Leadership Of The German People... Life Is Hard For Many, But It Is Hardest If You Are Unhappy And Have No Faith. Have Faith. Nothing Can Make Me Change My Own Belief.

I May Add That We Have More Than Once Stated Our Willingness To Conclude Nonaggression Pacts With The States Neighboring Our Own!

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.

Only The Continuous And Steady Application Of The Methods For Suppressing A Doctrine, Etc., Makes It Possible For A Plan To Succeed.

I Have Issued The Command, And I'll Have Anybody Who Utters But One Word Of Criticism Executed By A Firing Squad, That Our War Aim Does Not Consist In Reaching Certain Lines, But In The Physical Destruction Of The Enemy. Accordingly, I Have Placed My Death's-head Formation In Readiness, For The Present Only In The East, With Orders To Them To Send To Death Mercilessly And Without Compassion, Men, Women, And Children Of Polish Derivation And Language.
