Any Alliance Whose Purpose Is Not The

This Pride Of Race Is A Quality Which The German, Fundamentally, Does Not Possess. The Reason For This Is That For These Last Three Centuries The Country Has Been Torn By Internal Dissension And Religious Wars And Has Been Subjected To A Variety Of Foreign Influences, To The Influence, For Example, Of Christianity-for Christianity Is Not A Natural Religion For The Germans, But A Religion That Has Been Imported And Which Strikes No Responsive Chord In Their Hearts And Is Foreign To The Inherent Genius Of The Race. (13th February 1945)

Our Party Remains As Firm As This Rock And Will Not Be Divided By Any Force In Germany.

I Will Employ My Strength For The Welfare Of The German People, Protect The Constitution And Laws Of The German People, Conscientiously Discharge The Duties Imposed On Me, And Conduct My Affairs Of Office Impartially And With Justice To Everyone.

Pride In One's Own Race - And That Does Not Imply Contempt For Other Races - Is Also A Normal And Healthy Sentiment. I Have Never Regarded The Chinese Or The Japanese As Being Inferior To Ourselves. They Belong To Ancient Civilizations, And I Admit Freely That Their Past History Is Superior To Our Own. They Have The Right To Be Proud Of Their Past, Just As We Have The Right To Be Proud Of The Civilization To Which We Belong. Indeed, I Believe The More Steadfast The Chinese And The Japanese Remain In Their Pride Of Race, The Easier I Shall Find It To Get On With Them.

How To Achieve The Moral Breakdown Of The Enemy Before The War Has Started - That Is The Problem That Interests Me. Whoever Has Experienced War At The Front Will Want To Refrain From All Avoidable Bloodshed.
