Already in 1938 one had to notice, that the old war hawks were gaining the upper hand again in those states opposing us
I started warning then
What is one supposed to think, if first a treaty is signed by both parties in Munich, and then one party returns back to London and starts badmouthing this treaty and saying it is a shame, yes, when he vows that this will not occur a second time; in other words: that voluntary communication is not thinkable any more for the future
At that time, the outsiders stood up in those so-called democracies
I immediately issued warnings about this, because it is obvious
The German people did not feel any kind of hate against the French or the British
The French people, the British people - the German people wanted only to live in friendship and peace with them
Germany has claims, which do not hurt these other peoples at all, which do not take anything away from them
The German people has never learned to carry on hate
Then in Britain, certain circles began their impertinent, intolerable assaults
And then came the moment when I had to say to myself: I cannot watch this anymore, I have to answer to this agitation
For we do not educate the German people to hate the British
We do not educate it to hate the French, while in France and Britain the agitators day after day bait the British and French peoples, through the press and at rallies, to hate against the Germans
One day the agitators will be the government
Then they will realize their plans, and the German people will not know where this is coming from
So I gave the order to educate the German people about this agitation
From that moment on I was convinced, if necessary, to ensure the defense of the Reich
Now, in 1939 these Western powers decided to drop the mask behind which they ere hiding, they declared war on Germany against all of our endeavors, even though we tried to accommodate and oblige them
Today, they are unembarrassed to admit: Yes, Poland would have probably acquiesced, but we did not want that
They admit today that it would have easily been possible to effect an understanding
But they did not want that
They wanted war
Okay! My internal enemies often told me the same thing
Often, I reached out a hand towards them
They slapped it back
They also cried: No, not reconciliation, not communication, we want a fight! So they got their fight! And the only thing I can tell France and Britain is: They will get the fight as well! The first phase of the fight was political action
It ensured our back was clear, politically
For years, Germany and Italy pursued mutual politics
These politics have not changed up till now
The two states are close friends
Their common interests can be brought to a common denominator
During the last year I tried to foil Britain's chance of degenerating their war (which was already planned in advance) into a general world war
For at that time, the pious, Bible-studying and -reading and preaching Mr
Chamberlain tried for months to come to an understanding, a union with the atheist Stalin
It did not work back then
I understand everyone in Britain being wildly angry at me for now succeeding at what Mr
Chamberlain tried in vain
And I understand that this action, which God would have smiled upon if Mr
Chamberlain had succeeded at it, is a sin when I succeed
But still, I think the Almighty will be pleased to have avoided senseless battles in such a large area
For over centuries Germany and Russia lived next to one another in friendship and peace
Why should this not be possible again in the future? I think it is possible because both people wish it so
And every attempt, undertaken by British or French plutocrats, to bring us to new opposition will fail simply due to our rational interpretation of the goals of these powers, the realization of these goals
This is how Germany is able to keep its back clear
The second task of 1939 was to clear our back in the military aspect, as well
The hopes of British war specialists that the fight against Poland would under no circumstance be decided before 6 months or a year had passed were dashed by the might of our Wehrmacht
The state which received a guarantee from England was obliterated from the map within 18 days
This ended the first phase of our struggle
And the second begins
Mr
Churchill cannot wait for it to begin
He lets his middlemen - and he says it himself too - express the hope that the war with bombs may start soon
And they have already written, that this fight will naturally not respect women and children
Well! When has Britain ever respected women and children? The whole blockade war is deliberately against women and children
The war against the Boers was solely against women and children
That was when the concentration camp was invented; this idea was born of a British brain
We only researched it in the encyclopedia and later copied it, only with one difference: Britain locked women and children in these camps, and over 20,000 of the Boers' women died pitiably
Thus, why should Britain fight differently this time? We foresaw this and prepared for it
Mr
Churchill can be convinced: we know what Britain has done in the past five months
We know what France has done, also
But he seemingly does not know what Germany has been doing in the past five months
These gentlemen seem to think that we have spent the last five months sleeping
Ever since I entered the political arena, I have not slept through one single day of importance, let alone for five months! I can only ensure the German people: great things have been done in these past five months
Everything that was created in Germany in seven prior years cannot compare to what has been achieved in the past five months
Our rearmament is running according to plan
Our plans have proven themselves worthy
Our foresight begins to reap fruits now, fruits in all areas, fruits that are so large that our Sir Enemies are slowly starting to copy them
However, their copies remain meager
Naturally, the British radio knows better
If we believed the British radio, not one single ray of sunlight would be able to pierce through the thick layer of military airplanes darkening the sky, the world would just be a single large weapons cache, all armed by Britain, producing for Britain and provisioning the massive British armies
Germany, on the other hand, is close to total collapse
U-boats - and I heard this today - we only have three
This is horrible, not for us, but for British propaganda
Because when these three have been sunk, and that will definitely happen either tonight or tomorrow, what else will they have left to sink? What is there left to destroy? The British will have no other option but to sink the U-boats we will build in the future
And then they will have to develop a U-boat-reincarnation theory
Since British ships will surely continue to be sunk, and we do not own any more U-boats, these can only be U-boats that have already been destroyed by the British
I further read that I am deeply sad and grieved because I had been expecting us to build two or three U-boats a day, but we only build two a week
I can only say: It is not good when one must hold one's radio speeches and war reports before the relatives of a people that has not fought for several thousand years
The last provable struggle of the Maccabees seems to have slowly lost its military-educational worth
When I see this foreign propaganda, I gain incredible trust in our victory
For I have witnessed this propaganda once before
For almost 15 years this propaganda was incited against us
My old Party comrades will remember this propaganda
These are the same words, the same phrases, and, when we look closer, even the same heads, the same dialect
I dealt with these people as a solitary, unknown man that pulled a handful of people to himself
In 15 years I dealt with these people
Today Germany is the largest world power! It is not actually so that aging itself makes one wiser
Aging does not make blind people see
Who once was blind is blind now too
The Gods ruin those who are blinded
Today, these powers oppose the German Wehrmacht, the first in the world! However, it is not just the Wehrmacht, it is the German people who stand opposed, the German people with its insights and its discipline, formed and educated by seven years of National Socialist leadership in all areas
You can see today that this is not just a phantom
This education surmounted class and caste
It abolished parties, corrected world views and in their place created a confraternity
This confraternity is now filled with glowing trust and a fanatical will
This confraternity will not repeat the mistakes made in the year 1918
Today, when Mr
Daladier doubts this confraternity, or when he believes that parts of this confraternity complain, or when he quotes and pities my homeland - oh, Monsieur Daladier, maybe you will meet my people from the Ostmark
Of course you personally will enlighten them
