VON WAGNER
"No revolution could last forever without
leading to total anarchy. Just as the
world cannot exist on wars, so they
cannot exist on revolutions. Nothing truly
great on this earth has ruled for
millennia and was forged in decades.
The tallest tree has the strongest growth
behind it. What must withstand centuries
must also need centuries for it to become
strong!"

the 1918 Revolution, an event which has
gripped all of Germany and the historical
importance of which is already being
embodied today by the entire German
Reich."
(applause)

your life and existence is secure in this
National Socialist State of order,
freedom, and law!"

TITLE: "Goebbels"
GOEBBELS
"May the bright flame of enthusiasm
never be extinguished. It alone gives
light and warmth to the creative art of
modern political propaganda. This art
rose from the depths of the people and in
order to search out its roots and locate
its power, it must always return to these
depths. It may be all right to possess
power based upon guns; it is however
better and more gratifying to win and
also to champion the hearts of the
people."
(applause)
TITLE: "Hierl"
122. Konstantin Hierl, Chief of the Reich Labor Service Corps speaks:

and you must educate and steel yourselves
for it. We want this people to be
obedient and you must practice this
obedience; we want this people to be
peace-loving but also brave and you must
be peace-loving! ...

soft; instead, it should be hard, and you
will have to harden yourselves while you
are still young. ...
HITLER
(O.C.)
... You must learn to accept deprivations
without ever collapsing. Regardless of
whatever we create and what we do, we
shall pass away, but in you, Germany will
live on; and when nothing is left of us,
you will hold in your fist the banner
that we tore from nothingness! ...
(applause)

because ...
HITLER
... you are flesh from our flesh, blood
from our blood and your very minds are
filled with the same spirit which
dominates us! ...

HITLER
... It cannot be any different than
united with us. And when the great united
columns of our movement march

HITLER
"One year ago, we met for the first time
on this field; it was the first general
review of the political leaders of the
National Socialist Party. Now 200,000 men
have been assembled; summoned not by
their mere hearts but also their fidelity.
It is our nation's greatest misery that
moved us, united us in struggle, and made
us fight strong, and all of those who
have not suffered with me the very same
misery and suffering among their own
people cannot comprehend what we feel. To
them, it is confusing and
incomprehensible that this assembly would
bring hundreds of thousands together and
make them endure great misery, suffering
and privation as a simple order of the
State. They can only think that such a
thing could only be possible at the
command order of the State. They are
gravely mistaken. It is not the State
that orders us; but it is we who order
the State! ...
(applause)
233. CLOSE ANGLE AT fluttering NSDAP banners near the speaker's podium,
then:
HITLER
... It is not the State that created us,
it is we who created the State! ...
(applause)
HITLER
... But the Movement is alive and stands
firmly as a rock as long as one of us can
still breathe life into it, just as in
the many years past. Then drum will join
drum, banner will join banner, group will
join group, district will join district,
and then, at last, the once divided
people will then follow the gigantic
column of a united Reich! ...
(applause)
237. CLOSE ANGLES OF the ornamental decorations in the area: the massed
decorations of swastika banner and eagle motifs; then:
238. CLOSE AT HITLER AGAIN:
HITLER
... It would be a crime if we ever gave
up what had been fought for and won so
much strife, sorrow and sacrifice, and
distress. One cannot be disloyal to
something that has given content,
meaning and purpose to one's entire life.
All of this would not be possible were it
not given to us by a great command and it
is God Himself who created our Reich! ...
(applause)
HITLER
... Therefore, let us take this vow this
very evening, namely at each and every
hour, one each day, to think only of
Germany, the Nation, the Reich and our
German people! To our German Nation --
Sieg Heil! Sieg Heil! Sieg Heil!"

only to our Führer -- Adolf Hitler.

Sieg Heil! Sieg Heil! Sieg Heil!"
268. MEDIUM LONG SHOT AT Hitler who stands atop a stone pyramid adorned
with
a huge sculptured swastika in the center of it, who begins to deliver
his address to members of the SA and SS:
HITLER
"Men of the SS and SA, a few months ago,
a dark shadow had spread over our
Movement. Neither the SA, nor any other
institution of the Party had anything to
do with this dark shadow. People are
deceived who might believe that even one
single smudge occurred in the foundations
of our unified Movement. It stands firm
as a rock just as this assembly today
stands firm as a rock, as we in Germany
stand, unbroken. And if anyone sins
against the spirit of my SA, this will
not terminate the SA but only those who
dare to sin against my SA, it is they
that shall be terminated! ...
(applause)
HITLER
... Only a lunatic or a deliberate liar
could think that I or anyone would ever
have the sole intention to dissolve what
we ourselves have built up after so many
long years and that I would never disband
an organization. No, comrades, we stand
firmly by Germany and we have to stand
behind her. I now give you the new
banners, convinced that I am handing them
over to the most loyal and faithful hands
in all of Germany. In the past, you have
proved your loyalty to me a thousandfold,
and it cannot and will not be any
different in the future. And so I greet
you, as my old faithful men of the SA and
the SS! Sieg Heil!"

HITLER
"The Sixth Party Congress of the Movement
is coming to an end. What millions of
Germans outside our Party ranks may have
considered only a most impressive display
of political power, has meant immeasurably
more for ...
HITLER
(O.C.)
... the old fighters ...
HITLER
(O.C.)
... the great personal and spiritual
meeting of old fighters and comrades-in-
arms. ...
HITLER
... And perhaps one or the other among
you in spite of the compelling splendor
of this gathering of our Party, was
recalling those days when it was still
quite difficult to be a National
Socialist.
(applause)
HITLER
... When, our Party had only seven men,
it already voiced two principles: first,
it wanted to be a true ideologically
conditioned Movement; and, second, it
wanted, therefore to be the sole power in
Germany. ...
(applause)
HITLER
... As a Party, we had to remain in the
minority because we had to mobilize the
most valuable elements of struggling and
sacrifice of the Reich, which, at all
times, have amounted not to a majority,
but to a minority. ...
(applause)
HITLER
... Because these men, the best ...
HITLER
(O.C.)
... of the German race, in proud self-
confidence, have courageously and boldly
claimed the leadership of the Reich ...
HITLER
... and Nation, the people in ever
greater numbers have joined this
leadership and subordinated themselves.
(applause)
The German people are happy in the
knowledge that the constantly changing
leadership has now been replaced by a
fixed pole; a force which considers
itself the representative of the best
blood, and, knowing this, has elevated
themselves to the leadership of this
Nation and is determined to keep this
leadership, to use it to the best
advantage and never to relinquish it
again. ...
(applause)
HITLER
(O.C.)
It will always be only a part of the
Nation which will consist of really
active fighters, and more of them will be
asked than the millions of other citizens.
For them, the mere pledge ...
HITLER
... 'I believe' is not enough; instead,
they will swear to the oath 'I will
fight.' ...
HITLER
(O.C.)
... The Party will for all time to come
represent the elite of the political
leadership of the German people. ...
HITLER
... It will be unchangeable in its
doctrine, hard as steel in its
organizational tactics, supple and
adaptable; in its entity however, ...
347. CLOSE-UP OF TOP ORNAMENTAL NSDAP STANDARD: EAGLE AND SWASTIKA:
HITLER
(O.C.)
... it will be like a Holy Order! ...
(applause)
HITLER
... But the goal must be that all loyal
Germans will become National Socialists.
Only the best National Socialists are
members of the Party!
(applause)
HITLER
... In the past, our enemies persecuted
us and have removed the undesirable
elements from our Party for us. Today, we
ourselves must remove undesirable
elements which have proven to be bad.
What is bad, has no place among us! ...
(applause)
HITLER
(O.C.)
... It is our wish and will that this
State and Reich will endure for
millennia to come. ...
HITLER
... We are happy in the knowledge that
this fortune belongs to us completely! ...
(applause)
While the older ones among us may
possibly waiver, the youth is committed
to us, body and soul! ...
(applause)
HITLER
... Only when the Party, with the
cooperation of everyone, make it the
highest embodiment of National Socialist
thought and spirit will the Party be an
eternal and indestructible pillar of the
German people and of our Reich. Then,
eventually, the ...
HITLER
(O.C.)
... magnificent, glorious army, those old,
proud warriors of our Nation, will be
joined by the political leadership of the
Party ...
HITLER
... equally tradition-minded, and then
these two institutions together will
educate and strengthen the German Man and
carry on their shoulders the German State,
the German Reich! ...
(applause)
HITLER
... At this hour, tens of thousands of
Party members are already leaving the
city, while some of them ...
HITLER
... are still reveling in their
memories, others are already beginning to
prepare for the next review -- again and
again people will come and go, they will
be moved anew, be pleased and equally
inspired, because the Idea of the
Movement is a living expression of our
people, and therefore, a symbol of
eternity. Long live the National
Socialist Movement! Long live Germany!"
