Our production has increased enormously in all spheres
What others are planning we have achieved
The German people follows its leadership with determination, confident in its armed forces and ready to bear what fate demands
The year 1941 will be, I am convinced, the historical year of a great European New Order
The program could not be anything else than the opening up of the world for all, the breaking down of individual privileges, the breaking of the tyranny of certain peoples, and better still, of their financial autocrats CONCLUSION Finally this year will help to assure the basis for understanding between the peoples, and thereby, for their reconciliation
I do not want to miss pointing out what I pointed out on 3rd of September [1940] in the German Reichstag, that if Jewry were to plunge the world into war, the role of Jewry would be finished in Europe
They may laugh about it today, as they laughed before about my prophecies
The coming months and years will prove that I prophesied rightly in this case too
But we can see already how our racial peoples which are today still hostile to us will one day recognize the greater inner enemy, and that they too will then enter with us into a great common front
The front of Aryan mankind against Jewish-International exploitation and destruction of nations
The year which lies behind us has been a year of great successes, but also, it is true, one of many sacrifices
Even if the total number of dead and wounded is small in comparison with former wars the sacrifices for each individual family concerned weigh heavy
Our whole sympathy, our love and care belongs to those who had to make these sacrifices
They have suffered what generations before us also had to suffer
Each individual German had to make other sacrifices
The nation worked in all spheres
German women worked to replace men
It is a wonderful idea of community which dominates our people
That this ideal, that our whole strength should be preserved in the coming year-this should be our wish today
That we will work for this community-let that be our vow
That we conquer in devotion to this community-that is our faith, one in which we are confident, and that the Lord should not abandon us in this struggle of the coming year-let that be our prayer

LINK TO VIDEO EXCERPT INTRODUCTION My German Fellow Countrymen and Women, My Comrades! At present everybody speaks before the forum which seems to them the most fitting
Some speak before a parliament whose existence, composition and origin are well known
I believed that I should return again today whence I came, namely to the people! Every person is a representatives of this nation, with the one difference that you do not receive any salaries, and often it is more difficult for you to come to such rallies, more difficult than for the so-called qualified representatives of those democracies
Before we enter the tenth year of the National Socialist German Reich, it seems appropriate to look into our past, and once again occupy ourselves with the principles of our existence, of our life, and of our victory
Quite often we hear today the remark that this war is really the second world war
It means that this struggle is identified with the first, which most of us lived through as soldiers
This is not only correct in that this struggle, too, encompasses almost the whole world, it is even more correct when we consider that it is a question of the same aims; that the same powers which brought about the first world war are responsible for the present one, and that these powers and states have the same aims which they had at that time (although they remained hidden at first glance then); they had the same intentions which are the true cause and purpose of this struggle
They are not only the same causes, but, above all, they are the same individuals
And I can proudly say that the only exceptions are the very nations which today are embodied as allies by the German Reich, by Italy, by Japan, and so on
For certainly no one can deny that Churchill even in 1914 was one of the most rabid war-mongers of his time; that Roosevelt was then the disciple of President Wilson; that the capitalistic countries then also had thrown the weight of their influence into the scales on the side of war; just as no one can deny the reverse, that we were entirely innocent in starting that war
We were all only very ordinary soldiers, just as you are now, my dear wounded men sitting here before me
Unknown and nameless men, whom duty had simply called, nothing else, and who in response had fulfilled their duty as faithfully as they were able
ENGLAND MOTIVATED BY IMPERIAL GREED NOT CONCERN FOR "DEMOCRACY" The same motive forces which were to blame for the first world war are now responsible for the second
I want to start by saying one thing: Germany then was a monarchy; in other words not a National-Socialist dictatorship
The Germany of that period was democratic, that is, not a national-socialistic state, and the Germany of that period was parliamentarian, that is, not what Germany is today, to say nothing of all other differences
Therefore, there had to be reasons which led to the attacks of these powers then as today, and which had nothing to do with the respective forms of government, although both sides pretend that it is just this which called them into the field of battle
We Germans cannot possibly imagine that if a country near us suddenly decides on a certain form of government, we must declare war on this country just because that particular form of government doesn't suit us
We can't understand this at all, and naturally the others can't understand it either
They did not enter the war for this reason
They did not enter and are not at war because they were irritated by the form of the state
They are capable of embracing the vilest type of government when necessary and of fraternizing with it
No, no, it is not a question of a form of a government, but other reasons which have also previously brought them into a war against the German state
At that time England was the principal initiator of this struggle, England, which over a period of 300 years, through a continuous succession of bloody wars, subjugated roughly a quarter of the globe
Because at that time it wasn't as if one day a few Indian princes or Indian localities or Indian representatives proceeded to London with the request "Britishers, come to India, reign over us or lead us," but it was the English who went to India and the Indian people did not want the British and tried to get rid of them by force
They forced their way in and could not be gotten rid of through more force
Through the use of force they subjugated this continent of over 380 million people, and kept them subjugated
Only through force did they make one state after another pay them tribute and taxes
Behind this force, of course, stood the other one, which scents business everywhere where a state of disturbance exists: our international Jewish acquaintances
In this manner England, over a period of a few hundred years, has subjugated the world; and, to make secure this conquest of the world, this subjugation of the people, England endeavors to maintain the so-called balance of power in Europe
This means in reality that it endeavors to make sure that no European state is able to gain over a certain measure of power and perhaps in this way rise to a leading-role in Europe
What they wanted was a disunited, disintegrated Europe, a Europe all of whose forces completely offset one another
To reach this goal, England conducted one war after another in Europe
She has seen first its powerful position menaced by Spain
When they had finally conquered Spain, they turned their attentions to the Netherlanders
When Holland seemed to represent no further danger, British hate concentrated itself against France
And when finally France was crushed with the help of all Europe, to be sure, they then imagined that Germany must be, of necessity, the one factor which might possibly be able to unify Europe
Then it was that the struggle against Germany began, not out of love for the nations or their people, but only in their own most selfish, rational interests, behind which, as previously said, stands the eternal Jewry, which, in every struggle between nations, is capable of making profits and winning wherever there is confusion and wrangling
It is well-known that they have always been the instigators of unrest among the nations, because they were able to profit only in time of unrest, and because a period of peace might lead to reflection and hence, also, to an insight into the ways of these evil-doers of all nations
When, in 1914, a world coalition against the German Reich of that time was first brewing, they found justifications in these reasons
They then said, "Germany must first of all be freed from its Kaiser
" This, of course, should have been of no concern to the English, but rather an internal matter for the German people
But the English always feel concerned for other nations, and for that reason they wanted to free Germany of its Kaiser, then as now
They further said: "It is Germany's militarism which makes the German people unhappy and oppresses them
" The English are against the oppression and against the misery meted out today everywhere
Finally, they said, "There shall be no more war
Therefore let us wage war upon war
" A wonderful, enticing, splendid perspective
If only one wanted to apply it in retrospect
That means, if one wanted to say, "We agree that war is an injustice because only brutal force decides war
We will eliminate all coercion
Hence we will abolish everything arisen through coercion up to now
" A very difficult beginning, indeed, because the whole world hitherto has been built up in accordance with the principle that might makes right
But still it would have been wonderful if England had led the way to the rest of the world in its abhorrence of war in this manner, that it would have liberated the fruits of its own wars, that is, that it would have placed them again at the disposition of the rest of the world
If England had done that, if it had therefore declared: "We abhor war
Therefore, we will immediately return South Africa; because we won it through war
We hate war
Therefore, we will return the East Indies; we also won those in a war
For instance, we hate war
Therefore, we will also leave Egypt; because this also we have subjugated through force
We shall also retire from the entire Near East; because this also became ours through force
" It would have been a beautiful gesture, to have declared war on war in this fashion
However, the struggle against war meant something entirely different in England; namely, this war against war was interpreted to mean the impossibility of making good the injustices already existing in this world: keep the power with him who already has it, and deny all possibility of power from him who has none
ENGLISH HYPOCRISY IN DOMESTIC POLICY It is about the same as the attitude we recognize also in domestic policy, when people say: "We want no change in the social order
He who is rich is to stay rich; he who is poor must stay poor
As things are, so are they willed; and as they are willed, so they are to remain; for man should not rise against that which is once willed, because it is so
" You know, my comrades, our National Socialist concepts are against this
We see in each situation and at each moment on this earth the evidence of an uninterrupted life process

Our production has increased enormously in all spheres

What others are planning we have achieved

The German people follows its leadership with determination, confident in its armed forces and ready to bear what fate demands

The year 1941 will be, I am convinced, the historical year of a great European New Order
