First like shadows marched the ones who have died since, followed by those still living, all of them marching in the German parade step. In front of all of them though, marched Clemenceau shouldering a rifle, and representing the Versailles treaty. This was not only my own opinion and the one of a French funny paper, but it was shared by strong personalities of almost all the countries of the world that were interested in this problem. Those who seek the truth, and only the truth, and who are not merely content to have confirmed a preconceived idea, those then, should not only look at the results while judging a fact but they should also study its cause, for the cause alone gives the moral value. Although this party came to power through the legal way of a democratic constitution, this assumption of power soon did not leave any doubts, that this was not only a change of government but a bloodless revolution.
Revolutions are inexorable, and exorbitant in setting up their aims.
They lack the wisdom of antiquity, the experience of tradition and the humility of an almighty destiny which is only given to real great and wise men. And so, already in the first years, many ugly shadows of this revolution came to light and perturbed great portions of the people. Nobody could know as yet if this mighty progressive evolution could develop into a historical structure or would vanish in destiny. But one thing is certain, namely the achievements of the movement, and above all, of its Fuehrer in these 6 first years until 1939. Fusion of the various countries into a real Reich unity.
