Faust, the Ninth Symphony, and the will of Adolf Hitler are eternal youth and know neither time nor transience. - Baldur von Schirach

They say of us that we are an anti-Christian movement. They even say that I am an outspoken paganist....

That is the greatest thing about him. That he is not only our leader and a great hero. But himself, upright, firm and simple. In him the roots of our world. And his soul touches the stars. And yet he remains a man like you and me.

To us Germans everything is religion. What we do we do not merely with our hands and brains, but with our hearts and souls. This has often become a tragic fate for us.
