HITLER DIEFIED

STATE REGIMENTATION

: ORDER TO.GERMAN WOMANHOOD FUEHRER MUST HAVE MORE MEN. Even the “dignities of womanhood” loses its significance when the State gives its order to German womanhood to breed. Sacred ties of matrimony are scoffed at, illegitimacy encouraged and blessed by the Fuehrer who says in effect: “Give me more men—no matter how begotten—but more men I must and will have.” “Women who have passed childbearing age, or who are infirm are of no interest to the Nazi State.” Nazi booklet “Principles of Social Welfare,” 1936). “Every reasonably constructed State will have to regard a woman who has not given birth as dishonoured. There are plenty of willing and qualified youths ready to unite with the girls and women on hand. Fortunately one boy of good race suffices for twenty girls. And the girls for their part would gladly fulfil the demand for children were it not for the nonsensical socalled civilised idea of the monogamous marriage, an idea in complete contradiction to all national facts.” (“Knowledge and the Spirit of Motherhood”—Professor Ernst Bergman). In a booklet issued by Heinrich Himmler to the S.S. men, he stresses in the forward: “Never forget that the fighting forces alone cannot ensure the nation’s continuity but that an immeasureable fertility is also necessary, Read the publication which is handed to you and act accordingly in order that the victory of German arms may

be followed by the victory of German children. German women will be willing to make up for the blood lost on the battlefields and place at the disposal of our great Fuehrer, Hitler, the people he needs for his gigantic task of unifying all Tuetons. Illegitimate children are also valuable members of the community.” Nature provides even primitive man I with the parent instinct. Hitlerism | I dubs this instinct “sentimentality,” and I for family loyalty substitutes State reI gimentation. German fathers and mo- t thers are given a hollow assurance that I their children are’ being “taught and I guided for the greatest good of the | State and themselves.” Yet they | know full well the hideous results of ■ youth tutored by teachers who have I taken the Nazi teacher’s oath “Adolf E Hitler, we swear that we will train the youth of Germany that they will grow up in your ideology, for your aims and purposes in, the direction set by ■ your will. This is pledged to you by the whole German system of education j from the primary school through to the I university.” t They are guided not by the social ! codes of civilisation but by a creed ■ laid down by Hitler: “This is the creed i of our time: We believe in Hitler. And ; what of the old creed? The scriptures • are dead. Believing, we trust our des- ; tiny to our Fuehrer?’ (German broadcast to youth, January 12, 1940). I Hitler is diefied. Today the German child innocently lisps this Nazivied 1 Christmas hymn:— “Silent night, holy night, The Leader alone patiently watches; Blessing Germany, and watching her, | Only thinking of her. I Silent night, holy night, s All asleep, but alone, Adolf Hitler; I Protects the fate of Germany, | Leads her to greatness, glory and | fortune. I Grants to us Germans our merited power.”
