Share this quote on facebook {Reading an excerpt from Hitler's official proclamation}: 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!

Share this quote on facebook It is our unshakable belief in ourselves, it is our hope for today's valued youth, who courageously are charging forward and will one day be called upon to continue the efforts begun in the stormy years of 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.

Share this quote on facebook One thought must alone dominate all our work: to make the German worker an upright, upstanding, proud and decent citizen, enjoying equal rights with the rest of the Reich!

Share this quote on facebook As chief of the German justice system, I can only say that since the National Socialist legal system is the foundation of the National Socialist State, for us, our supreme Führer is also supreme judge. And since we know how sacred the principles of justice are to our Führer, we can assure you, fellow citizens, that your life and existence is secure in this National Socialist State of order, freedom, and law!

Share this quote on facebook 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 alright to possess power based upon guns, it is however better and more gratifying to win and also to champion the hearts of the people.

Share this quote on facebook {Opening Speech}: I am opening this, our Sixth Party Congress, in respectful remembrance of Field Marshal, and President of the Reich, Von Hindenburg, who has passed into eternity. We remember the Field Marshal as the first soldier of the Great War, and, thus, also remember our fallen comrades. I welcome the esteemed representatives of foreign nations who honor the Party by their presence, and the Party, in sincere friendship, welcomes especially the representatives of the military forces, now under the command of the Führer. My Führer, around you are gathered the flags and standards of National Socialism. Only when their cloth will have decayed, will humanity looking back, be able to comprehend what you, my Führer, mean to Germany. You are Germany, when you act, the nation acts, when you judge, the people judge! Our gratitude is the pledge to stand by you, through good days and bad, come whatever may. Thanks to your leadership, Germany will achieve her aim to become the homeland -- the homeland for all Germans in the world. You have been the guarantor of victory, you are for us the guarantor of peace! Adolf Hitler!
