Anonymous, Another Week Goes by

In a speech at Karlsruhe recently Dr. Goebbels, the Minister of Propaganda, referred to the international situation.

The Führer, he said, has often stretched out the hand of reconciliation to the world. This hand of reconciliation remains outstretched. At this juncture I would like to address an appeal to the world and to the statesmen to give the world a peace based on the respect of all for all.

Europe has certainly not so far realised the meaning of the Hitler salute. The world is full of misunderstandings! (p. 370)


Hail, Hitler! Arms uplifted in salute
The brown-shirt legions march upon their way,
Man, not not so much upraised upon the brute
Reclaims his ancient right to hate and slay.

Hail, Hitler! On they march, they know not whither
Save that they hate the things they leave behind,
On swift waves of unrest borne hither, thither,
Myriad blind followers after leaders blind.
Left, Right, Left, Right,
March through the town,
Might's Right, Right's Might,
March in order brown.

Down with the damned Republic that abased us,
Down with the men who signed the shameful Peace,
Down with the Jews, whose machinations waste us.
Re-arm, Re-arm, Re-arm. 'Tis force that frees.

Hail, Hitler! You alone arose to save us,
To bid us hope, when all was blank despair,
Thanks for the courage and the strength you gave us,
To hate, to joy in hating, and to dare.
Left, Right, Left, Right,
March up and down.
Might's Right, Right's Might,
March in order brown.

You made us men again, unchained from slavery,
Bade us no more to suffer, but to will,
To free our land from Communistic knavery,
With fire and sword to sanctify and kill.
Hail, Hitler! Hail! Mid peril and disaster,
The awakened nation hangs upon thy breath;
The German soul hath found in thee a master.
Hail, Hitler! Hail! For we are thine till death.
Left, Right, Left, Right,
March through the town,
Might's Right, Right's Might,
March in order brown.
