Nazis "adopted... the vocabulary of Darwin" |
Schafft, Gretchen E. 2004. _From Racism to Genocide: Anthropology
in the Third Reich_ (Urbana and Chicago: University of Illinois
Press), 297pp. On Amazon:
http://www.amazon.com/Racism-Genocide-Anthropology-Third-Reich/dp/025207453X
On 123-4, two paragraphs from the section "_Auslese_, _Ausmerzen_, and
Anthropological Theory":
Establishing dominance would require the Germans
to pursue an extreme form of social Darwinism. In
doing so, they adopted not only the vocabulary of
Darwin but the vocabulary of the vineyard.
_Auslese_, or selection, is a common German word
used regularly in reference to the production of
good wine, and it sometimes appears on bottles,
indicating that inferior grapes had been sorted out
before processing. Likewise, the word
_Ausmerzen_, a term used in the breeding of
sheep, is the process by which a negative selection
is made between the animals acceptable for
breeding and inferior animals-- those destined for
slaughter.31 These words became the standard
parlance of the Nazis as they spoke of human
beings who were identified for continued use for the
Reich or for destruction.32
On what basis were people selected? The racial
investigators would say, "on the basis of German
blood." Yet, no blood tests were done, and no basis
in fact existed for determining who was a "real"
German. And because the blood of human beings
does not reveal racial differences, such tests would
have been fruitless anyway. In practice, the people
living in Germany who were neither Jews, Roma,
nor any other darker-skinned minority and who were
neither physically nor mentally disabled were part of
the Auslese, the positive selection of the folk. The
others would be _ausgemerzt_, or selected out for
"resettlement" in the east.

Himmler, a former chicken farmer..., was ruled by very
strong beliefs regarding the application of breeding
theories to humans-- by way of positive selection for the
"Aryans" and negative selection for their natural enemies,
the Slavs, Gypsies, and Jews.
"Resettlement" refers to extermination:
Koster, Jr., John P. 1989. _The Atheist Syndrome_ (Brentwood,
Tennessee: Wolgemuth & Hyatt, Publishers, Inc.), 199pp. Two
paragraphs on 154:
By the beginning of 1942, the Nazis had come
into possession of several million Jews in
countries they had conquered or otherwise
occupied. At a conference in Wannsee, a
suburb of Berlin, Reinhard Heydrich, second
in command of the Nazi S.S., explained what
was to be done with the remaining Jews.
The Jews should be sent to the Eastern territories
as laborers, the sexes being separated. They
should be employed in building roads as they
move eastward, and no doubt a large part of
them will be eliminated by natural diminution.
The survivors, the hardiest among them, must
be given an appropriate treatment, because
they represent a natural selection, and if they
were allowed to go free, they would be the
seedbed for a new efflorescence of Jewry.
Witness the examples of history. In the course
of the final solution, Europe will be raked over
from west to east. The Jews thus evacuated
will be transported by train to temporary
ghettos, and from these ghettos they will be
dispatched farther and farther east.^6
Note two phrases: _appropriate treatment_,
like _special treatment_, is a Nazi euphemism
for deliberate execution, as opposed to death
by overwork or neglect. The term _natural
selection_, of course, and the idea that the
survivors might live to breed a sturdier race, is
right out of Darwin.
^6: Robert Payne, _The Life and Death of Adolf Hitler_ (New York:
Praeger Publishers, 1973), p. 466.
Compare with Heydrich this Eichmann:
Gould, Stephen Jay. 1995. _Dinosaur in a Haystack: Reflections in
Natural History_ (NY: Crown Trade Paperbacks), 480pp. On 314 and 315,
Gould quotes from Adolf Eichmann's Wannsee Protocol, which summarized
the 20 January 1942 Wannsee Conference discussions among Himmler,
Heydrich, Eichmann, etc.:
...."Marriage between persons of mixed blood
of the first degree and persons of mixed blood
of the second degree: Both partners will be
evacuated, regardless of whether or not they
have children... Since as a rule these children
will racially reveal the admixture of Jewish
blood more strongly than persons of mixed
blood of the second degree." ....
I... inserted ellipses to signify an omission
that I now wish to restore.
Eichmann speaks of deportation to the east,
and of hard labor on the roads, leading to the
death of most evacuees. He then continues (to
flesh out my ellipses): "The possible final
remnant will, as it must undoubtedly consist
of the toughest, have to be treated accordingly
... " Let me now switch to the original
German: "..._da dieser, eine naturliche
Auslese darstellend, bei Freilassung als
Keimzelle eines neuen judischen Aufbaues
anzusprechen ist_." Or: "... as it is the
_product of natural selection_, and would, if
liberated, act as a bud cell of a Jewish
reconstruction."

Which "questions," specifically?
The Nazis Hitler, Ley, and Bormann were atheists.
Hitler, Goebbels, and Himmler were Darwinists, who made use of
Darwinian thinking in their thinking about 'the "Jewish" problem.'
If the Darwinian revolution had not occurred, then the Holocaust would
not have happened.
At one point, the atheist Mussolini banned Christmas.
The ex-Catholic Goebbels gave orders to the media that Christmas be
Jesus-Christ-less.

One might well ask why are there any Jews in the world order?
That would be exactly like asking why are there potato bugs?
Nature is dominated by the law of struggle. There will always
be parasites who will spur this struggle on and intensify the
process of selection between the strong and the weak. The
principle of struggle dominates also in human life. One must
merely know the laws of this struggle to be able to face it. ....
In nature life always takes measures against parasites; in the life
of nations that is not always the case. From this fact the Jewish
peril actually stems. There is therefore no other recourse left
for modern nations except to exterminate the Jew....
....we are forever members of the Aryan race. .... Aboriginal
man, the Fuehrer believes, did not know the lie....
The nations that have been the first to see through the Jew and
have been the first to fight him are going to take his place in the

nonbelievers? Two, perhaps three or four? Or are they too many to count?
And what do you suppose is to account for that: 'Religion' or 'Evolution'?

No. Lutherans are Protestant. Hitler was Catholic, and his orders were

That's a lie. Hitler was a Catholic. Why do you continue to lie?
Oh, of course, it's because you are Christian and lying is what

Adolf Hitler
My feelings as a Christian points me to my Lord and Savior as a
fighter. It points me to the man who once in loneliness, surrounded
only by a few followers, recognized these Jews for what they were and
summoned men to fight against them and who, God's truth! was greatest
not as a sufferer but as a fighter. In boundless love as a Christian
and as a man I read through the passage which tells us how the Lord
at
last rose in His might and seized the scourge to drive out of the
Temple the brood of vipers and adders. How terrific was His fight for
the world against the Jewish poison. To-day, after two thousand
years,
with deepest emotion I recognize more profoundly than ever before in
the fact that it was for this that He had to shed His blood upon the
Cross. As a Christian I have no duty to allow myself to be cheated,
but I have the duty to be a fighter for truth and justice.... And if
there is anything which could demonstrate that we are acting rightly
it is the distress that daily grows. For as a Christian I have also a
duty to my own people.... When I go out in the morning and see these
men standing in their queues and look into their pinched faces, then
I
believe I would be no Christian, but a very devil if I felt no pity
for them, if I did not, as did our Lord two thousand years ago, turn
against those by whom to-day this poor people is plundered and
exploited.
-Adolf Hitler, in his speech in Munich on 12 April 1922
[Note, "brood of vipers" appears in Matt. 3:7 & 12:34. John 2:15
depicts Jesus driving out the money changers (adders) from the
temple.
The word "adders" also appears in Psalms 140:3]
---------------------------------------------------------------------------=

Just as the Jew could once incite the mob of Jerusalem against
Christ,
so today he must succeed in inciting folk who have been duped into
madness to attack those who, God's truth! seek to deal with this
people in utter honesty and sincerity.
-Adolf Hitler, in Munich, 28 July 1922
---------------------------------------------------------------------------=

In the Bible we find the text, 'That which is neither hot nor cold
will I spew out of my mouth.' This utterance of the great Nazarene
has
kept its profound validity until the present day.

[The Bible quote comes Jesus speaking in Revelation 3:16]
---------------------------------------------------------------------------=

In the life of nations, what in the last resort decides questions is
a
kind of Judgment Court of God.... Always before god and the world the
stronger has the right to carry through what he wills.
-Adolf Hitler, speech in Munich, 13 April 1923
---------------------------------------------------------------------------=
=AD-----
There are three words which many use without a thought which for us
are no catch-phrases: Love, Faith, and Hope.... We are fanatical in
our love for our people....
We have faith in the rights of our people, the rights which have
existed time out of mind. We protest against the view that every
other
nation should have rights - and we have none. We must learn to make
our own this blind faith in the rights of our people, in the
necessity
of devoting ourselves to the service of these rights; we must make
our
own the faith that gradually victory must be granted us if only we
are
fanatical enough. And from this love and from this faith there
emerges
for us the idea of hope. When others doubt and hesitate for the
future
of Germany - we have no doubts. We have both the hope and the faith
that Germany will and must once more become great and mighty.
We have faith that one day Heaven will bring the Germans back into a
Reich over which there shall be no Soviet star, no Jewish star of
David, but above that Reich there shall be the symbol of German labor
- the Swastika. And that will mean that the first of May has truly
come.
-Adolf Hitler, speech in Munich, 01 May 1923
[Love, Faith, and Hope comes from I Corinthians 13:13 NIV]
---------------------------------------------------------------------------=
=AD-----
People ask: is there someone fit to be our leader? Our task is not to
search for that person. Either God will give him to us or he will not
come. Our task is to shape the sword that he will need when he comes.
Our task it to provide the leader with a nation which is ready for
him
when he comes! My fellow Germans, awaken! The new day is dawning!
-Adolf Hitler, 04 May 1923

It matters not whether these weapons of ours are humane: if they gain
us our freedom, they are justified before our conscience and before

It will at any rate be my supreme task to see to it that in the newly
awakened NSDAP, the adherents of both Confessions can live peacefully
together side by side in order that they may take their stand in the
common fight against the power which is the mortal foe of any true
Christianity.
-Adolf Hitler, in an article headed "A New Beginning," 26 Feb. 1925
---------------------------------------------------------------------------=
=AD-----
A few days ago I was in Eisenach and stood on top of the Wartburg,
where a great German once translated the Bible.
-Adolf Hitler, in Schleiz, Thuringia, 18 Jan. 1927
[The great German Hitler speaks about, of course, describes Martin
Luther]
---------------------------------------------------------------------------=
=AD-----
We are a people of different faiths, but we are one. Which faith
conquers the other is not the question; rather, the question is
whether Christianity stands or falls.... We tolerate no one in our
ranks who attacks the ideas of Christianity... in fact our movement
is
Christian. We are filled with a desire for Catholics and Protestants
to discover one another in the deep distress of our own people.
-Adolf Hitler, in a speech in Passau, 27 October 1928, Bundesarchiv
Berlin-Zehlendorf, [cited from Richard Steigmann-Gall's The Holy
Reich]
---------------------------------------------------------------------------=
=AD-----
We are determined, as leaders of the nation, to fulfill as a national
government the task which has been given to us, swearing fidelity
only
to God, our conscience, and our Volk.... This the national government
will regard its first and foremost duty to restore the unity of
spirit
and purpose of our Volk. It will preserve and defend the foundations
upon which the power of our nation rests. It will take Christianity,
as the basis of our collective morality, and the family as the
nucleus
of our Volk and state, under its firm protection....May God Almighty
take our work into his grace, give true form to our will, bless our
insight, and endow us with the trust of our Volk.
-Adolf Hitler, on 1 Feb. 1933, addressing the German nation as
Chancellor for the first time, Volkischer Beobachter, 5 Aug. 1935,
[cited from Richard Steigmann-Gall's The Holy Reich]
---------------------------------------------------------------------------=
=AD-----
Except the Lord built the house they labour in vain.... The truth of
that text was proved if one looks at the house of which the
foundations were laid in 1918 and which since then has been in
building.... The world will not help, the people must help itself.
Its
own strength is the source of life. That strength the Almighty has
given us to use; that in it and through it we may wage the battle of
our life.... The others in the past years have not had the blessing
of
the Almighty-- of Him Who in the last resort, whatever man may do,
holds in His hands the final decision. Lord God, let us never
hesitate
or play the coward, let us never forget the duty which we have taken
upon us.... We are all proud that through God's powerful aid we have
become once more true Germans.
-Adolf Hitler, in a speech in March 1933
[Note, "Except the Lord built the house, they labour in vain" comes
from Psalms 127:1 ]
---------------------------------------------------------------------------=
=AD-----
The Government, being resolved to undertake the political and moral
purification of our public life, are creating and securing the
conditions necessary for a really profound revival of religious
life.... The National Government regard the two Christian Confessions
as the weightiest factors for the maintenance of our nationality.
They
will respect the agreements concluded between them and the federal
States. Their rights are not to be infringed.... It will be the
Government's care to maintain honest co-operation between Church and
State; the struggle against materialistic views and for a real
national community is just as much in the interest of the German
nation as in that of the welfare of our Christian faith. The
Government of the Reich, who regard Christianity as the unshakable
foundation of the morals and moral code of the nation, attach the
greatest value to friendly relations with the Holy See and are
endeavouring to develop them.
-Adolf Hitler, in his speech to the Reichstag on 23 March 1933
---------------------------------------------------------------------------=
=AD-----
The Catholic Church considered the Jews pestilent for fifteen hundred
years, put them in ghettos, etc, because it recognized the Jews for
what they were".... I recognize the representatives of this race as
pestilent for the state and for the church and perhaps I am thereby
doing Christianity a great service by pushing them out of schools and
public functions.
-Adolf Hitler, 26 April 1933, [cited from Richard Steigmann-Gall's
The
Holy Reich]
---------------------------------------------------------------------------=
=AD-----
We want honestly to earn the resurrection of our people through our
industry, our perseverance, our will. We ask not of the Almighty
'Lord, make us free'!-- we want to be active, to work, to agree
together as brothers, to strive in rivalry with one another to bring
about the hour when we can come before Him and when we may ask of
Him:
'Lord, Thou seest that we have transformed ourselves, the German
people is not longer the people of dishonour, of shame, of war within
itself, of faintheartedness and little faith: no, Lord, the German
people has become strong again in spirit, strong in will, strong in
endurance, strong to bear all sacrifices.' 'Lord, we will not let
Thee
go: bless now our fight for our freedom; the fight we wage for our
German people and Fatherland.'
-Adolf Hitler, giving prayer in a speech on May Day 1933
---------------------------------------------------------------------------=
=AD-----
This is for us a ground for satisfaction, since we desire that the
fight in the religious camps should come to an end... all political
action in the parties will be forbidden to priests for all time,
happy
because we know what is wanted by millions who long to see in the
priest only the comforter of their souls and not the representative
of
their political convictions.
-Adolf Hitler, in a speech to the men of the SA. at Dormund, 9 July
1933 on the day after the signing of the Concordat.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------=
=AD-----
National Socialism has always affirmed that it is determined to take
the Christian Churches under the protection of the State.... The
decisive factor which can justify the existence alike of Church and
State is the maintenance of men's spiritual and bodily health, for it
that health were destroyed it would mean the end of the State and
also
the end of the Church.... It is my sincere hope that thereby for
Germany, too, through free agreement there has been produced a final
clarification of spheres in the functions of the State and of one
Church.
-Adolf Hitler, on a wireless on 22 July, the evening before the
Evangelical Church Election
---------------------------------------------------------------------------=
=AD-----
The fact that the Vatican is concluding a treaty with the new Germany
means the acknowledgement of the National Socialist state by the
Catholic Church. This treaty shows the whole world clearly and
unequivocally that the assertion that National Socialism [Nazism] is
hostile to religion is a lie.
-Adolf Hitler, 22 July 1933, writing to the Nazi Party (quoted from
John Cornwell's "Hitler's Pope"
---------------------------------------------------------------------------=
=AD-----
Among the congregations of the Protestant confessions there has
arisen
in the "German Christians' a movement that is filled with the
determination to do justice to the great tasks of the day and has
aimed at a union of the Protestant state churches and confessions. If
this question is not really on the way towards a solution, in the
judgement of history no false or stupid objections will be able to
dispute the fact that this service was rendered by the volkisch
movement at a time when, unfortunately, just as in the Roman Church,
many pastors and superintendents without reason have opposed the
national uprising in the most violent, indeed, often fanatical, way.
-Adolf Hitler, in a radio address on 22 July 1933 to the German
people
after a performance of Wagner's Christian allegory Parsifal in
Bayreuth. [from Richard Steigmann-Gall's The Holy Reich]
---------------------------------------------------------------------------=
=AD-----
We were convinced that the people needs and requires this faith. We
have therefore undertaken the fight against the atheistic movement,
and that not merely with a few theoretical declarations: we have
stamped it out.
-Adolf Hitler, in a speech in Berlin on 24 Oct. 1933
[This statement clearly refutes modern Christians who claim Hitler as
favoring atheism.]
---------------------------------------------------------------------------=
=AD-----
I believe that Providence would never have allowed us to see the
victory of the Movement if it had the intention after all to destroy
us at the end.
-Adolf Hitler, in a speech to old members of the Party at Munich on 8
Nov. 1933
---------------------------------------------------------------------------=
=AD-----
The German Church and the People are practically the same body.
Therefore there could be no issue between Church and State. The
Church, as such, has nothing to do with political affairs. On the
other hand, the State has nothing to do with the faith or inner
organization of the Church. The election of November 12th would be an
expression of church constituency, but not as a Church.
-Adolf Hitler, answering C. F. Macfarland about Church & State (in
his
book, The New Church and the New Germany)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------=
=AD-----
While we destroyed the Centre Party, we have not only brought
thousands of priests back into the Church, but to millions of
respectable people we have restored their faith in their religion and
in their priests. The union of the Evangelical Church in a single
Church for the whole Reich, the Concordat with the Catholic Church,
these are but milestones on the road which leads to the establishment
of a useful relation and a useful co operation between the Reich and
the two Confessions.
-Adolf Hitler, in his New Year Message on 1 Jan. 1934
---------------------------------------------------------------------------=
=AD-----
Imbued with the desire to secure for the German people the great
religious, moral, and cultural values rooted in the two Christian
Confessions, we have abolished the political organizations but
strengthened the religious institutions.
-Adolf Hitler, speaking in the Reichstag on 30 Jan. 1934
---------------------------------------------------------------------------=
=AD-----
It would have been more to the point, more honest and more Christian,
in past decades not to support those who intentionally destroyed
healthy life than to rebel against those who have no other wish than
to avoid disease. Moreover, a policy of laissez faire in this sphere
is not only cruelty to the individual guiltless victims but also to
the nation as a whole.... If the Churches were to declare themselves
ready to take over the treatment and care of those suffering from
hereditary diseases, we should be quite ready to refrain from
sterilizing them.
-Adolf Hitler, in his speech on 30 Jan. 1934
---------------------------------------------------------------------------=
=AD-----
We have experienced a miracle, something unique, something the like
of
which there has hardly been in the history of the world. God first
allowed our people to be victorious for four and a half years, then
He
abased us, laid upon us a period of shamelessness, but now after a
struggle of fourteen years he has permitted us to bring that period
to
a close. It is a miracle which has been wrought upon the German
people.... It shows us that the Almighty has not deserted our people,
that He received it into favour at the moment when it rediscovered
itself. And that our people shall never again lose itself, that must
be our vow so long as we shall live and so long as the Lord gives us
the strength to carry on the fight.
-Adolf Hitler, in a speech to the "Old Guard" of the Party at Munich
on 19 March, 1934
---------------------------------------------------------------------------=
=AD-----
The National Socialist State professes its allegiance to positive
Christianity. It will be its honest endeavour to protect both the
great Christian Confessions in their rights, to secure them from
interference with their doctrines (Lehren ), and in their duties to
constitute a harmony with the views and the exigencies of the State
of
to-day.
-Adolf Hitler, on 26 June 1934, to Catholic bishops to assure them
that he would take action against the new pagan propaganda
---------------------------------------------------------------------------=
=AD-----
No, it is not we that have deserted Christianity, it is those who
came
before us who deserted Christianity. We have only carried through a
clear division between politics which have to do with terrestrial
things, and religion, which must concern itself with the celestial
sphere. There has been no interference with the doctrine (Lehre ) of
the Confessions or with their religious freedom
(Bekenntnisfreiheit ),
nor will there be any such interference. On the contrary the State
protects religion, though always on the one condition that religion
will not be used as a cover for political ends....
National Socialism neither opposes the Church nor is it anti-
religious, but on the contrary it stands on the ground of a real
Christianity.... For their interests cannot fail to coincide with
ours
alike in our fight against the symptoms of degeneracy in the world of
to-day, in our fight against a Bolshevist culture, against atheistic
movement, against criminality, and in our struggle for a
consciousness
of a community in our national life... These are not anti-Christian,
these are Christian principles! And I believe that if we should fail
to follow these principles then we should to be able to point to our
successes, for the result of our political battle is surely not
unblest by God.
-Adolf Hitler, in his speech at Koblenz, to the Germans of the Saar,
26 Aug. 1934
---------------------------------------------------------------------------=
=AD-----
So far as the Evangelical Confessions are concerned we are determined
to put an end to existing divisions, which are concerned only with
the
forms of organization, and to create a single Evangelical Church for
the whole Reich....
And we know that were the great German reformer [Martin Luther] with
us to-day he would rejoice to be freed from the necessity of his own
time and, like Ulrich von Hutten, his last prayer would be not for
the
Churches of the separate States: it would be of Germany that he would
think and of the Evangelical Church of Germany.
-Adolf Hitler, in his Proclamation at the Parteitag at Nuremberg on 5
Sept. 1934
[Note, Martin Luther provided Germany with the seeds of violent
antisemitism. Learn about Martin Luther's dirty little book.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------=
=AD-----
So we have come together on this day to prove symbolically that we
are
more than a collection of individuals striving one against another,
that none of us is too proud, none of us too high, none is too rich,
and none too poor, to stand together before the face of the Lord and
of the world in this indissoluble, sworn community. And this united
nation, we have need of it.
-Adolf Hitler, in Berlin, 01 May 1935
---------------------------------------------------------------------------=
=AD-----
What we are we have become not against, but with, the will of
Providence. And so long as we are true and honourable and of good
courage in fight, so long as we believe in our great work and do not
capitulate, we shall continue to enjoy in the future the blessing of
Providence.
-Adolf Hitler, at Rosenheim in Bavaria, 11 Aug. 1935

Only so you can appeal to your God and pray Him to support and bless

In this world him who does not abandon himself the Almighty will not
desert. Him who helps himself will the Almighty always also help; He
will show him the way by which he can gain his rights, his freedom,
and therefore his future.

I believe in Providence and I believe Providence to be just.
Therefore
I believe that Providence always rewards the strong, the industrious,
and the upright.

I say that they can be solved; there is no problem that cannot be,
but
faith is necessary. Think of the faith I had to have eighteen years
ago, a single man on a lonely path. Yet I have come to leadership of
the German people....
Life is hard for many, but it is hardest if you are unhappy and have
no faith. Have faith.
Nothing can make me change my own belief.

This is probably the first time and this is the first country in
which
people are being taught to realize that, of all the tasks which we
have to face, the noblest and most sacred for mankind is that each
racial species must preserve the purity of the blood which God has
given it....
The greatest revolution which National Socialism has brought about is
that it has rent asunder the veil which hid from us the knowledge
that
all human failures and mistakes are due to the conditions of the time
and therefore can be remedied, but that there is one error which
cannot be remedied once men have made it, namely the failure to
recognize the importance of conserving the blood and the race free
from intermixture and thereby the racial aspect and character which
are God's gift and God's handiwork. It is not for men to discuss the
question of why Providence created different races, but rather to
recognize the fact that it punishes those who disregard its work of
creation....
As I look back on the great work that has been done during the past
four years you will understand quite well that my first feeling is
simply one of thankfulness to our Almighty God for having allowed me
to bring this work to success. He has blessed our labors and has
enabled our people to come through all the obstacles which
encompassed
them on their way....
Today I must humbly thank Providence, whose grace has enabled me, who
was once an unknown soldier in the War, to bring to a successful
issue
the struggle for the restoration of our honor and rights as a nation.

So long as they concern themselves with their religious problems the
State does not concern itself with them. But so soon as they attempt
by any means whatsoever-- by letters, Encyclica, or otherwise-- to
arrogate to themselves rights which belong to the State alone we
shall
force them back into their proper spiritual, pastoral activity.
-Adolf Hitler, in a speech delivered in Berlin on the May Day
festival, 1937

We National Socialists, too, have deep in our hearts our own faith.
We
cannot do otherwise. No man can mould the history of peoples or of
the
world unless he has upon his will and his capacities the blessing of
Providence.

correspondent of the "Daily Telegraph"
---------------------------------------------------------------------------=
=AD-----
I will never allow anyone to divide this people once more into
religious camps, each fighting the other....
You, my Brown Guard, will regard it as a matter of course that this
German people should go only by the way which Providence ordained for
it when it gave to Germans the common language. So we go forward with
the profoundest faith in God into the future. Would that which we
have
achieved have been possible if Providence had not helped us?
-Adolf Hitler, in a speech at Regensburg on 6 June 1937
---------------------------------------------------------------------------=
=AD-----
If we pursue this way, if we are decent, industrious, and honest, if
we so loyally and truly fulfill our duty, then it is my conviction
that in the future as in the past the Lord God will always help us.
In
the long run He never leaves decent folk in the lurch. Often He may
test them, He may send trials upon them, but in the long run He
always
lets His sun shine upon them once more and at the end He gives them
His blessing.

held on 3 Oct. 1937

This Winter Help Work is also in the deepest sense a Christian work.
When I see, as I so often do, poorly clad girls collecting with such
infinite patience in order to care for those who are suffering from
the cold while they themselves are shivering with cold, then I have
the feeling that they are all apostles of a Christianity-- and in
truth of a Christianity which can say with greater right than any
other: This is the Christianity of an honest confession, for behind
it
stand not words but deeds.
-Adolf Hitler, speaking of the Winter Help Campaign on 5 Oct. 1937
---------------------------------------------------------------------------=

Remain strong in your faith, as you were in former years. In this
faith, in its close-knit unity our people to-day goes straight
forward
on its way and no power on earth will avail to stop it.
-Adolf Hitler, in a speech at Coburg on 15 Oct. 1937
---------------------------------------------------------------------------=
=AD-----
In this hour I would ask of the Lord God only this: that, as in the
past, so in the years to come He would give His blessing to our work
and our action, to our judgement and our resolution, that He will
safeguard us from all false pride and from all cowardly servility,
that He may grant us to find the straight path which His Providence
has ordained for the German people, and that He may ever give us the
courage to do the right, never to falter, never to yield before any
violence, before any danger.... I am convinced that men who are
created by God should live in accordance with the will of the
Almighty.... If Providence had not guided us I could often never have
found these dizzy paths.... Thus it is that we National Socialists,
too, have in the depths of our hearts our faith. We cannot do
otherwise: no man can fashion world-history or the history of peoples
unless upon his purpose and his powers there rests the blessings of
this Providence.
-Adolf Hitler, in a speech at Wurzburg on 27 June 1937
---------------------------------------------------------------------------=
=AD-----
National Socialism is not a cult-movement-- a movement for worship;
it
is exclusively a 'volkic' political doctrine based upon racial
principles. In its purpose there is no mystic cult, only the care and
leadership of a people defined by a common blood-relationship.... We
will not allow mystically-minded occult folk with a passion for
exploring the secrets of the world beyond to steal into our Movement.
Such folk are not National Socialists, but something else-- in any
case something which has nothing to do with us. At the head of our
programme there stand no secret surmisings but clear-cut perception
and straightforward profession of belief. But since we set as the
central point of this perception and of this profession of belief the
maintenance and hence the security for the future of a being formed
by
God, we thus serve the maintenance of a divine work and fulfill a
divine will-- not in the secret twilight of a new house of worship,
but openly before the face of the Lord.... Our worship is exclusively
the cultivation of the natural, and for that reason, because natural,
therefore God-willed. Our humility is the unconditional submission
before the divine laws of existence so far as they are known to us
men.
-Adolf Hitler, in Nuremberg on 6 Sept. 1938.
[Christians have always accused Hitler of believing in pagan cult
mythology. Here he clearly expresses his stand against cults and

We are indeed perhaps better able than other generations to realize
the full meaning of those pious words "What a change by the grace of
God".
Amongst the accusations which are directed against Germany in the so
called democracies is the charge that the National Socialist State is
hostile to religion. In answer to that charge I should like to make
before the German people the following solemn declaration:
1=2E No one in Germany has in the past been persecuted because of his
religious views (Einstellung), nor will anyone in the future be so
persecuted.... The Churches are the greatest landed proprietors after
the State... Further, the Church in the National Socialist State is
in
many ways favoured in regard to taxation, and for gifts, legacies,
&c., it enjoys immunity from taxation.
It is therefore, to put mildly-- effrontery when especially foreign
politicians make bold to speak of hostility to religion in the Third
Reich.... I would allow myself only one question: what contributions
during the same period have France, England, or the United States
made
through the State from the public funds?
3=2E The National Socialist State has not closed a church, nor has it
prevented the holding of a religious service, nor has it ever
exercised any influence upon the form of a religious service. It has
not exercised any pressure upon the doctrine nor on the profession of
faith of any of the Confessions. In the National Socialist State
anyone is free to seek his blessedness after his own fashion....
There
are ten thousands and ten thousands of priests of all the Christian
Confessions who perform their ecclesiastical duties just as well as
or
probably better than the political agitators without ever coming into
conflict with the laws of the State.... This State has only once
intervened in the internal regulation of the Churches, that is when I
myself in 1933 endeavoured to unite the weak and divided Protestant
Churches of the different States into one great and powerful
Evangelical Church of the Reich. That attempt failed through the
opposition of the bishops of some States; it was therefore abandoned.
For it is in the last resort not our task to defend or even to
strengthen the Evangelical Church through violence against its own
representatives.... But on one point it is well that there should be
no uncertainty: the German priest as servant of God we shall protect,
the priest as political enemy of the German State we shall destroy.
-Adolf Hitler, a speech in the Reichstag on 30 Jan. 1939
[That last sentence sums up Hitler's stand on the priesthood. Rather
than standing for atheism, as today's Christians would like, Hitler
attacked the priesthood only if they stood in Hitler's political
path.]

If positive Christianity means love of one's neighbour, i.e. the
tending of the sick, the clothing of the poor, the feeding of the
hungry, the giving of drink to those who are thirsty, then it is we
who are the more positive Christians. For in these spheres the
community of the people of National Socialist Germany has
accomplished
a prodigious work.
-Adolf Hitler, in his speech to the "Old Guard" at Munich on 24 Feb.
1939
---------------------------------------------------------------------------=
=AD-----
Help yourself, then God will also help you!
The German people was created by Providence, not in order to obey a
law which suits Englishmen or Frenchmen, but to stand up for its
vital
right. That is what we are there for!
-Adolf Hitler, at Wilhemshaven, 01 April 1939
---------------------------------------------------------------------------=
=AD-----
I can give vent to my inmost feelings only in the form of humble
thanks to Providence which called upon me and vouchsafed it to me,
once an unknown soldier of the Great War, to rise to be the Leader of
my people, so dear to me.
Providence showed me the way to free our people from the depths of
its
misery without bloodshed and to lead it upward once again. Providence
granted that I might fulfill my life's task-to raise my German people
out of the depths of defeat and to liberate it from the bonds of the
most outrageous dictate of all times....
I have regarded myself as called upon by Providence to serve my own
people alone and to deliver them from their frightful misery.
-Adolf Hitler, before the Reichstag, 28 April 1939
---------------------------------------------------------------------------=
=AD-----
As Fuehrer of the German people and Chancellor of the Reich, I can
thank God at this moment that he has so wonderfully blessed us in our
hard struggle for what is our right, and beg Him that we and all
other
nations may find the right way, so that not only the German people
but
all Europe may once more be granted the blessing of peace.
-Adolf Hitler, before the Reichstag, 06 Oct. 1939

[I] never lost my belief, in the midst of setbacks which were not
spared me during my period of struggle. Providence has had the last
word and brought me success.

It would be easier for the Devil to go to church and cross himself
with holy water than for these people to comprehend the ideas which
are accepted facts to us today.
-Adolf Hitler, 10 Dec. 1940, in Berlin
---------------------------------------------------------------------------=
=AD-----
The conception of the new Movement, whose fundamentals can be
expressed in a single sentence: "The Lord helps those who help
themselves," opposed this. That is not only a very pious phrase, but
a
very just one. For one cannot assume that God exists to help people
who are too cowardly and too lazy to help themselves and think that
God exists only to make up for the weakness of mankind. He does not
exist for that purpose. He has always, at all times, blessed only
those who were prepared to fight their own battles....
Providence has not led us along these amazing paths in vain. On the
day that the party was founded I recalled that our nation once gained
immense victories. Then it became ungrateful, disunited, sinned
against itself. Thereupon it was punished by Providence. We deserved
our defeat. If a nation forgets itself as completely as the German
nation did at that time, if it thinks that it can shake off all honor
and all good faith, Providence can do nothing but teach it a hard and
bitter lesson. But even at that time we were convinced that once our
nation found itself again, once it again became industrious and
honorable, once each individual German stood up for his nation first
and not for himself, once he placed the interests of the community
above his own personal interests, once the whole nation again pursued
a great ideal, once it was prepared to stake everything for this
ideal, the hour would come when the Lord would declare our trials at
an end.
If fate should once more call us to the battlefield, the blessing of
Providence will be with those who have merited it by years of hard
work. When I compare myself and my opponents in other countries in
the
light of history, I do not fear the verdict on our respective
mentalities. Who are these egoists? Each one of them merely defends
the interests of his class. Behind them all stands either the Jew or
their own moneybags. They are all nothing but money-grubbers, living
on the profits of this war. No blessing can come of that. I oppose
these people merely as the 0 champion of my country. I am convinced
that our struggle will in the future be blessed by Providence, as it
has been blessed up to now.
-Adolf Hitler, in Munich, 24 Feb. 1941
---------------------------------------------------------------------------=

But he who dares to use the word "God" for such devilish activity
blasphemes against Providence and, according to our belief, he cannot
end except in destruction.
-Adolf Hitler, speaking about Jews and international "warmongers," on
04 May 1941, before the Reichstag
---------------------------------------------------------------------------=
=AD-----
I did not want this struggle. Since January, 1933, when Providence
entrusted me with the leadership of the German Reich, I had an aim
before my eyes which was essentially incorporated in the program of
our National Socialist party. I have never been disloyal to this aim
and have never abandoned my program....
Only when the entire German people become a single community of
sacrifice can we expect and hope that Almighty God will help us. The
Almighty has never helped a lazy man. He does not help the coward. He
does not help a people that cannot help itself.
The principle applies here, help yourselves and Almighty God will not
deny you his assistance.
-Adolf Hitler, in a broadcast from Berlin, 03 Oct.1941
---------------------------------------------------------------------------=
=AD-----
If the Providence has so willed that the German people cannot be
spared this fight, then I can only be grateful that it entrusted me
with the leadership in this historic struggle which, for the next 500
or 1,000 years, will be described as decisive, not only for the
history of Germany, but for the whole of Europe and indeed the whole
world. The German people and their soldiers are working and fighting
today, not only for the present, but for the coming, nay the most
distant, generations. A historical revision on a unique scale has
been
imposed on us by the Creator....
The next incursion against this homestead of European culture was
carried out from the distant East. A terrible stream of barbarous,
uncultured hordes sallied forth from the interior of Asia deep into
the hearts of the European Continent, burning, looting, murdering-a
true scourge of the Lord....
From the time when the Movement I consisted of seven men, until we
took over power in January 1933, the path was so miraculous that only
Providence itself with its blessing could have made this possible....
Our enemies must not deceive themselves-in the 2,000 years of German
history known to us, our people have never been more united than
today. The Lord of the Universe has treated us so well in the past
years that we bow in gratitude to a providence which has allowed us
to
be members of such a great nation. We thank Him that we also can be
entered with honor into the ever-lasting book of German history!
-Adolf Hitler, on 11 Dec.1941 before the Reichstag
---------------------------------------------------------------------------=
=AD-----
My fame, if Providence preserves my life, will consist in ... works
of
peace, which I still intend to create. But I think that if Providence
has already disposed that I can do what must be done according to the
inscrutable will of the Providence, then I can at least just ask
Providence to entrust to me the burden of this war, to load it on me.
I will beat it! I will shrink from no responsibility; in every hour
which ... I will take this burden upon me. I will bear every
responsibility, just as I have always borne them."....
Thus the home-front need not be warned, and the prayer of this priest
of the devil, the wish that Europe may be punished with Bolshevism,
will not be fulfilled, but rather that the prayer may be fulfilled:
"Lord God, give us the strength that we may retain our liberty for
our
children and our children's children, not only for ourselves but also
for the other peoples of Europe, for this is a war which we all wage,
this time, not for our German people alone, it is a war for all of
Europe and with it, in the long run, for all of mankind."
-Adolf Hitler, 30 Jan. 1942, in Berlin (note the prayer at the end of
the speech.)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------=
=AD-----
May therefore God give us the strength to continue to do our duty and
with this prayer we bow in homage before our dead heroes, before
those
whom they have left behind in bereavement, and before all the other
victims of this war.
-Adolf Hitler, in prayer at the end of a radio address on 15 March
1942.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------=
=AD-----
I, for my part, acknowledge another precept which says that man must
deal the final blow to those whose downfall is destined by God.
-Adolf Hitler, in an address to the Reichstag, 06 April 1942
---------------------------------------------------------------------------=
=AD-----
In my eyes, the year 1942 already has behind it the most fateful
trial
of our people. That was the winter of '41 to '42. I may be permitted
to say that in that winter the German people, and in particular its
Wehrmacht, were weighed in the balance by Providence. Nothing worse
can or will happen. That we conquered that winter, that "General
Winter," that at last the German fronts stood, and that this spring,
that is, early this summer, we were able to proceed again, that, I
believe, is the proof that Providence was content with the German
people....
You do not realize what is hidden beneath these words in the way of
human heroism, and also of human pain, and suffering, and we may say,
often anxiety too, naturally, deathly anxiety on the part of all
those
who, especially for the first time, are placed before the trial of
God
in this highest court.
-Adolf Hitler, 30 Sept. 1942, in Berlin
---------------------------------------------------------------------------=
=AD-----
And today I stand by this same view. Fate, or Providence, will give
the victory to those who most deserve it....
And when now, after 10 years, I again survey this period, I can say
that upon no people has Providence ever bestowed more successes than
upon us. The miracles we have achieved in the last three years in the
face of a whole world of enemies are unique in history, especially
the
crises we very naturally often had in these years.
-Adolf Hitler, in Munich, 08 Nov. 1942
---------------------------------------------------------------------------=
=AD-----
The bomb which was planted by Colonel von Stauffenberg exploded two
meters to my right. It seriously injured a number of my colleagues
who
are very dear to me; one has died. I myself am completely unhurt
apart
from a few minor skin abrasions, bruises and burns. I interpret this
as confirmation that Providence wishes me to continue my life's
mission as I have in the past.
Few people can begin to imagine the fate which would have overtaken
Germany had the assassination attempt succeeded. I myself thank
Providence and my Creator not for preserving me - my life consists
only of worry and work for my People - I thank him only for allowing
me to continue to bear this burden of worry, and to carry on my work
to the best of my ability.
Once again I take this opportunity, my old comrades in arms, to greet
you, joyful that I have once again been spared a fate which, while it
held no terror for me personally, would have had terrible
consequences
for the German People. I interpret this as a sign from Providence
that
I must continue my work, and therefore I shall continue it.
-Adolf Hitler, speaking about the attempt to kill him, in a radio
broadcast on 20 July 1944
---------------------------------------------------------------------------=
=AD-----
God the Almighty has made our nation. By defending its existence we
are defending His work....
Only He can relieve me of this duty Who called me to it. It was in
the
hand of Providence to snuff me out by the bomb that exploded only one
and a half meters from me on July 20, and thus to terminate my life's
work. That the Almighty protected me on that day I consider a renewed
affirmation of the task entrusted to me....
Therefore, it is all the more necessary on this twelfth anniversary
of
the rise to power to strengthen the heart more than ever before and
to
steel ourselves in the holy determination to wield the sword, no-
matter where and under what circumstances, until final victory crowns
our efforts....
In the years to come I shall continue on this road, uncompromisingly
safeguarding my people's interests, oblivious to all misery and
danger, and filled with the holy conviction that God the Almighty
will
not abandon him who, during all his life, had no desire but to save
his people from a fate it had never deserved, neither by virtue of
its
number nor by way of its importance....
In vowing ourselves to one another, we are entitled to stand before
the Almighty and ask Him for His grace and His blessing. No people
can
do more than that everybody who can fight, fights, and that everybody
who can work, works, and that they all sacrifice in common, filled
with but one thought: to safeguard freedom and national honor and
thus
the future of life.
-Adolf Hitler, in a radio address, 30 Jan. 1945
---------------------------------------------------------------------------=
=AD-----
Providence shows no mercy to weak nations, but recognizes the right
of
existence-only of sound and strong nations....
This Jewish bolshevist annihilation of nations and its western
European and American procurers can be met only in one way: by using
every ounce of strength with the extreme fanaticism and stubborn
steadfastness that merciful God gives to men in hard times for the
defense of their own lives....
We have suffered so much that it only steels us to fanatical resolve
to hate Our enemies a thousand times more and to regard them for what
they are destroyers of an eternal culture and annihilators of
humanity. Out of this bate a holy will is born to oppose these
destroyers of our existence with all the strength that God has given
us and to crush them in the end. During its 2,000-year history our
people has survived so many terrible times that we have no doubt that
we will also master our present plight.
-Adolf Hitler, in a recorded radio address, 24 Feb. 1945
