GERMAN YOUTH
HITLER’S MAY DAY ADDRESS LUCKY TO LIVE IN PRESENT TIME CONFIDENCE IN FUTURE (Recd This Day, 9.40 a.m.) BERLIN, May 1. “My boys and girls, you are lucky to live in a time of which Germany need never be ashamed” —thus Herr Hitler opened the May Day celebrations, addressing 150,000 members of youth organisations at the Olympic Stadium. The speech was broadcast throughout Germany. Herr Hitler told his audience that they were the Greater Germany, and that when he looked upon them his faith in the German future was unshakeable. NEED OF BEING STRONG In a speech delivered later in the square opposite the Imperial Castle Herr Hitler said: “There are people who say ‘Down with War! That is my catchword, but in order to be strong and ward off external troubles, we must be strong internally. Our motto must not be ‘never again war!’ but ‘never again civil war or class struggles.’ ”
Dr Goebbels probably is the first Nazi leader to admit that Germany lost the war. “We lost the war and have no economic reserves,” he said. “We must try to replace by a united will those things other nations possess in abundance.”
