“FANATICAL RESOLVE”

TO CONTINUE STRUGGLE DECLARED BY HITLER IN MESSAGE TO NORWEGIAN QUISLINGS (By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright) LONDON, September 27. A mesasge from Hitler in which he asserted his “fanatical resolve to continue the struggle” was read by the Reich Commissioner, Terboven, at a meeting in Oslo yesterday of leading members of the Quisling Party. In the message, as quoted by Oslo radio, Hitler said: “We are engaged in a life and death struggle against Bolshevism and its plutocratic helpmates. The German people are bearing the decisive burden of this struggle with its heavy sacrifices in blood and property.” “Aware that the issue of this battle will decide the destiny not only of the German Reich but also of the Germanic people and of the entire Continent for centuries to come, it is fanatically resolved to continue these sacrifices in the unshakable conviction that this resoluteness will in the end lead to victory and thus create the conditions necessary for the construction of a pacified Europe. “It is the Fuehrer's unchangeable will that after the victorious conclusion of this fateful struggle, national and Socialist Norway should arise in liberty and independence, surrendering on the higher plane of European community only those functions which are essential for the security of Europe fbr all time."
