NAZI REVOLUTION

CHANGED WORLD AFTER WAR. “If there is one thing we realise today, it is this: when the war is over our world will not be the same as it was when the war began. Our world has been changed much in our own time by several revolutions.” said Mr F. A. Voight, editor of the “Nineteenth Century,” in a recent address. “The mightiest of these.revolutions is, I think, the most recent one. the German revolution in 1933, the National Socialist revolution, as it is called, which destroyed the transitional democratic order in Germany and established that new German order which now extends from the Arctic to the Aegean, and from Finisterre to the Black Sea. The nucleus of this vast order, of this prodigious revolutionary empire which the Germans have erected by violence, is Germany herself, the Third Reich, as it calls itself. The First Reich was the Holy Roman Empire; the Second was the Empire of the Hohenzollerns; the Third is the Germany of today and the ‘new order’ she has erected under the leadership of Hitler. Inhuman and oppressive as it is, we must not dismiss it as bluff and propaganda. The Russian Revolution and the great French Revolution also attempted to erect a new order, not merely a French and Russian new order, but a European new order; indeed a universal new order. That is one thing we must bear in mind, and in doing so we must remain aware of the terrific power of revolutionary ideas, of the disciplined fanaticism which that idea can inspire. When associated with organisation, military prowess, great resources and ardent nationalism, as it was under Napoleon, as it is now under Hitler, those ideas are formidable indeed. We knew it in Napoleon’s day; and we know it. or ought to know it, in our own day."
