Blood
Y ou carry in your blood the holy inheritance of your
fathers and forefathers. You do not know those who
have vanished in endless ranks into the darkness of the
past. But they all live in you and walk in your blood upon
the earth that consumed them in battle and toil and in
which their bodies have long decayed.
Your blood is therefore something holy. In it your par
ents gave you not only a body, but your nature.
To deny your blood is to deny yourself. No one can
change it. But each decides to grow the good that one has
inherited and suppress the bad. Each is also given will
and courage.
You do not have only the right, but also the duty to pass
your blood on to your children, for you are a member of
the chain of generations that reaches from the past into
eternity, and this link of the chain that you represent
must do its part so that the chain is never broken.
But if your blood has traits that will make your children
unhappy and burdens to the state, then you have the
heroic duty to be the last.
The blood is the carrier of life. You carry in it the secret
of creation itself. Your blood is holy, for in it God's will
lives.

Race
R ace means to be able to think in a certain way. He
who has courage, loyalty and honor, the mark of
the German, has the race that should rule in Germany,
even if he does not have the physical characteristics of the
"Nordic" race. The unity of the noble and a noble body is
the goal to which we strive. But we despise those whose
noble body carries an ignoble soul.
A variety of related European races have merged in Ger
many. One trunk grew from these roots. Each race gave
its best strength. Each contributed to the German soul.
We Germans have a fighting spirit, a look to the horizon,
the "desire to do a thing for its own sake" of the Nordic
race. Another racial soul gave us our cozy old cities and
our depth. Yet another racial soul gave us mastery of the
magical realm of music. Yet another gave us our ability to
organize, and our silent obedience.
We can not hold it against anyone if he carries a variety
of racial lines, for the German soul does as well, and cre
ated out of it the immeasurable riches which it possesses
above all other nations. The greatness of our Reich grew
out of this soul.
But the Nordic race must dominate in Germany and
shape the soul of each German. It must win out in the
breast of each individual. Today our ideal is not the artist
or the citizen, but the hero.
Our highest treasure is the soul that we have been giv
en. He who mixes his blood with that of foreign inferior
races ruins the blood and soul that have been given to him
to pass on in purity to his children. He makes his children
-4-
impure and miserable, and commits the greatest crime
that he as a National Socialist can commit.
But he who follows the laws of race fulfills the great
commandment that only like should be brought together
with like, keeping apart those things like fire and water
which do not mix.

Socialism
S ocialism means: "The common good before the indi
vidual good."
Socialism means: "Think not of yourself, but of the
whole, of the people and the state."
Socialism means: "Not the same for everyone, but to
each his own."
These sentences make clear what we call "German so
cialism." No one is a socialist who does not live according
to them.
A new order grows from these sentences. The sentence
"To each his own" has killed the "mass," the slogan of
Marxism, and replaced it with the "community." Every
community grows around a leader. He is the center of its
order, which forms around him. A number of these leaders
form a larger community, and stand around their leader
as a living order. It all grows from below — the number
growing ever smaller — like a pyramid, and finds its epi
tome in the Fuhrer of the Reich. All are bound by the com
munity. Each community is a living order. The whole, the
great living order, is the people's community. It binds in
extricably person to person, leader to leader. It does not
give the same to everyone, but to each his own. It creates
the socialist people in a socialist state.
Each has his task in the community, given to him ac
cording to his gifts. Never do all have the same task, but
rather each his own. His task gives him a place in the
community, If he fulfills it completely, he wins the esteem
of the others. He is happy, even if his task is not large in
the overall scheme of things.
-8-
Such communities grow in the field, in assault troops, in
artillery battalions, in submarines, in S.A. units. Strong,
bound forever together, wordlessly understanding each
other, together until the end, sworn to a common goal.
Strength grows from such communities, and from them
grows the state.
We want community in Germany so that we can stand
unshaken in the face of whatever may come. The mass is
conquered by the community. It gives to each his own, to
each his goal and his task, and everyone together one
goal: the people's community in the new state.

Fatherland

which Frederick's eagle rose toward the sun, and there,
far from the borders, is the wall of German dead, an etern
al memorial of the nation that withstood the world as long
as it believed in itself.
Everything is founded in and rests in you, Fatherland.
Our strength and our greatness, but also our need and our
misery. You are the ground that bore us and will bear
those distant generations that will work and bleed for you.
No one can live without you, but each will gladly give
his life back to you who gave it to him.

ture of Germany. Do you want to be one of them, or stand
aside as a weakling?
Germany will be the land of the brave and the strong.
Either you belong to them, or you will no longer be a Ger
man.

Will
-16-
Self Control
-17-
If you control yourself, you control life.
If you control yourself, you must be able to bear pain
without uttering a sound. Men do not complain or cry, and
boys who want to become men behave in the same way.
You should not give in to every little problem. Be open,
be determined, never play the cripple, but control yourself.
Be the master of your pain and problems. Force yourself
to be cheerfully faithful. Then you will find strength you
did not know you had.
You must practice self control. How often does duty call,
but something distracts you? Command yourself so that
you can master yourself.
Do something every day that you do not like to do, and
avoid doing something every day that you would gladly
have done.
Do everything you are ordered to do immediately,
without thinking about it. You must in order to become a
real man.
That is the secret of every great personality. It has
gained all the strength it directs outwardly from overcom
ing itself.
But you should not be a meek person who gives up
everything in order to live in a cave to receive a promised
blessing. God does not want that for a person. He should
have pleasure in his work. He should use it, but never
misuse it, and should be the master of himself.

Honor

him back. For we National Socialists in Germany today,
there is only one honor, one concept of honor. There is no
particular concept of honor for particular classes any
longer. National Socialism has given us all a new common
sense of honor. We know it. He who does not have it is not
free, but a slave. The least important worker today can be
free and honorable, the prosperous businessman a slave
and a serf.
That is the new law, which gives honor only to the
brave, the selfless, the loyal, the self controlled, those who
do everything for Germany that they can.
The way to honor is open for every German.

Loyalty

tirely, as if you were his physical brother.
Sigfried and Hagen were loyal. Siegfried, the bright
hero, fought battles for his king. His life was joy and jubil
ation and victory. Love and loyalty accompanied him, as if
bearing him on their hands.
Hagen slew Siegfried not as a cowardly murderer, but
rather because Siegfried invited guilt upon himself. The
honor of the king was at stake. Siegried had to die. But
Hagen took the guilt upon himself. His loyalty to his king
was more to him than his own outward honor. He took the
curse of a murderer on himself and was greater than all
and he was loyal [This story is part of the Niebelung
saga].
The German warrior loyally followed his nobleman and
did not return home without him. The knights loyally fol
lowed their lords and emperors. Prussia's greatest sons
were served their king loyally, even when they were better
than he. They served not his person, but the crown that he
bore. The millions who died in the World War loyally fol
lowed their leaders. In loyalty, they lie with them as a
ring of dead around Germany. In loyalty, we all follow the
Fuhrer and his flag. The hand of each will hold the flag
until death, the flag that leads Germany to new life.
We show loyalty in daily life as well. Once again, a
man's word is dependable. Promises must be kept and will
be kept. We do not need a handshake and an oath. Each
can depend on our word, because we again have become
loyal.
Germany is the land of loyalty. It dwells in its vast
forests. It dwells in its knights and soldiers. It dwells
again in us. Loyalty is our honor. Who wants to be dishon
-25-
orable amidst the brave and the heroes?

filled with it and believed what no reason of the reason
able could see.
The path of faith is before each of us. Even if it is not the
path of fame and honor, it is still the path of duty and of
greatest happiness. To find it means to gain a part of the
eternal strength that moves the worlds.
Because faith is strength, it can do what seems im
possible. It is the foundation for every deed. No one can do
anything without faith. No one can even jump over a ditch
if he does not believe he can do it. The highest and most
important in a person is not knowledge and understand
ing, but rather his faith. Each is worth only as much as
the faith he has.
This new Reich began with faith. The first party rally
after the seizure of power was called "The Victory of
Faith." It grew and became great through faith. It no
longer grew from the faith of one man, but from the faith
of us all, and was borne by the strength of all. More than
human strength was present.
Woe to those who do not believe. They are not on the
side of the strength of creation, but rather annihilation.
They are the destroyers of the Reich.
Faith is however stronger than all other powers that can
be found in this world.

Fate

each, for it belongs to the builders at work. There is no
heaven of pleasure and blessedness. But work and life al
ternate in eternal form, whether in the realm of the body
or the sphere of the spirit.
Those who fell for an idea of god — and people and fath
erland are such — continue to work for it. They become a
part of the soul and the strength of their people., They
continue to work and grow. They are in reality in us as
our better thoughts.
Thus each creature plays its part, both in body and soul,
in the great plan of the worlds. It is god, the eternal wis
dom and the exalted sense of that which is beyond com
prehension. When you submit and follow the path, it is
also in you. You understand your part and do what you
can, and whatever happens to you, you will be happy. You
carry god in your own heart. You have overcome death,
and if you do die, you live on as a part of the eternal
strength that works continually and creates.
Your fate is the path that is shown to you. Your free will
decides if you follow it and if you fulfill your task.
-31-
Birth and Death
B irth and death are the same; they are the two
sides of one door. To enter one room always means
leaving another. It depends on which room or which life
we are in as to whether we say "entrance" or "exit," life or
death.
For he who understands it, death holds no terrors. But
he who did not go his proper way in life and sinned will
see his guilt in death. But there is after death no place of
torture, no hell. To see one's guilt is the severest judgment
and at the same time the greatest penalty. Judgment and
punishment are within yourself.
Neglected work can only be made up by double effort. It
will once more be your choice, either to work toward the
world plan, or to be its enemy. That is the only death that
there is, to become a force for destruction rather than for
creation, and this death is not physical. It is your free
choice to decide on which side you belong, on god's or, to
use an old term, "the devil's."
What we call birth and death is only the door between
two worlds. There is no birth and no death, only change,
and we can go confidently through the door, for all the
worlds were created by one hand.

Nature

tured and tormented in other countries. What to him is
part of his household is elsewhere only a possession.
He sees and honors in everything god's creation, in the
holy earth, in the wandering wind, in the flickering
flames, in which there is always change. Ever again we
stand on the summits of the peaks and wave the torch and
feel the magnificent and the ineffable.
Who dares chide us because our eyes are open?

Order

cause every accomplishment begins with order. That is
true for each individual part of life, and for the whole of it
as well.

Honesty
-38-
An end must be made of all dishonest behavior. It
should be wrung out of us. There should be a new genera
tion in Germany, honest in word and deed, because honor
is to it more necessary than life itself. And woe to him who
sins against it.

Property

greedily from that which they steal from others using cor
rupted justice. To eliminate them in Germany is our
highest law. Once Germany's forests were freed of wolves.
In the same way, Germany must be freed of those who are
worse and craftier than wolves.

speaks more eloquently to us?
He who has fought such a fight earns honor in old age.
Failing to respect the aged is a failure to respect life itself.
"I spent myself in the service of the Fatherland," Bis
marck said. Who should not honor those who have grown
old and worn in such a cause. Or do we want to honor
those who say: "I have avoided service to the fatherland?"
Each stage of life is good: youth full of hope, maturity in
the fullness of strength, the old filled with honor. Nothing
deserves honor more than that which is greater than we
are!
