to set aside the Versailles injustice.
AT the end of this historical

people and Reich with their blood.
For the ensuing year We want to
ask the Almighty. who, during the
past. so visibly took us under His
protection, again to vouchsafe His
blessings to us and strengthen us
in fulfillment of our duty. For
ahead of us lies the most serious
struggle for existence or non-exist-

With proud confidence I and the

with such soldiers Germany must
win"
