In 1957, Paula Hitler published a statement aimed at the “Jewish controlled press” for its alleged lies about her brother, Adolf Hitler.
Speaker 1 then delivers a forceful address: “Gentlemen, never forget this. Your names will long be forgotten even before your bodies have rotted away in the earth. But the name Adolf Hitler will still be a light in the darkness. You cannot murder him by drowning his memory in your sick buckets, and you cannot strangle him with your filthy ink stained fingers. His name exists forever in hundreds of thousands of souls.” He asserts the decline of those opposing Hitler and declares that they are too insignificant to touch him. He states that Hitler “loved Germany,” “fought for German honor,” and “gave his life for Germany.”
He asks, “What have you given so far? Which one of you would give his life for Germany?” He accuses opponents of caring only about riches, power, and “never ending luxurious living,” suggesting they prefer indulging their senses without responsibility. He contends that when they think of Germany, they think of indulgence without responsibility, not the nation’s welfare. He asserts that the Fuhrer’s “unselfishness in word and deed” guarantees his immortality, and argues that the struggle for Germany’s greatness wasn’t crowned with success, noting a contrast with Cromwell’s success in Britain.
The speaker then offers a comparative critique: the Englishman’s character is “unfair, ruled by jealousy, self importance, and a lack of consideration,” yet he remains loyal to his country and crown; by contrast, the German, with a “need for recognition,” is “never first and foremost a German.” He concludes that it does not matter to the critics, as they are “insignificant,” because if they destroy the entire nation, their guiding thought will still be “me first, me second, me third,” and with that pitiful philosophy, they cannot prevent the immortality of a giant.
