German people, in this very hour a movement of troops is taking place which in its extent and magnitude is the greatest that the world has ever seen.… - Adolf Hitler

من يحسب نفسه قادراً علي تحقيق الإصلاح الديني عن طريق حزب أو منظمة سياسية فهو مهووس أو جاهل لا يعرف شيئاً عن تطور الديانات والعقائد.

The war against Russia will be such that it cannot be conducted in a knightly fashion. This struggle is one of ideologies and racial differences and will have to be conducted with unprecedented, unmerciful, and unrelenting harshness. All officers will have to rid themselves of obsolete ideologies. I know that the necessity for such means of waging war is beyond the comprehension of you generals but . . . I insist absolutely that my orders be executed without contradiction.

There are more than ten million Germans in two states, and in the Great War they fought side by side with German soldiers. Against their will they have been prevented from union with the Reich. Political separation, however, does not justify the disregard of national self-determination. Just as Britain stands up for her interests all over the globe, so Germany will know how to guard her more restricted interests. To these interests of the German Reich belongs the protection of those German peoples along our frontiers who are not in a position to secure their general human, political, and Weltanschauliche freedom by their own efforts.
