NEW YORK, March 22-FOIOiU-
ing is the teTt OF Adolf Hitler's
heroes day address yesterday at
the ZeuqIlaus in Berlin, as broad
cast by the German radio and
recorded by the Associated Press
here:
For the fourth time we are cele
brating heroes memorial day o
Our people in this hall. The cele'
bration is being held today aftel
having been postponed because to.
day, with a clear conscience, l an
able to leave my work gt which
have been occupied for months ano
because. thanks to the sacrifices
and heroiSm of our soldiers or
eastern front, we have succeeded ir
overcoming the crisis into which our
army had been plunged unde-
servedly.
Our front has been stabilized and
we have taken measures which will
secure in months ahead Of us sue
cess until final victory is achieved
That under these conditions I can
take responsibility for lifting as
from today the ban on leave which
has been on for several months SO
that in coming months OR brave
men can visit their beloved in the
homeland to an ever increasing cX-
tent is making it easier for me
to be here today.
If it had been necessary at all
to make plain to our people the full
seriousness of this gigantic struggle
for life or death on land, at sea and
in the air, last winter did its full
share in removing the last doubts
The steppeS of Eastern Europe
again have seen millions OF men
whipped forward against Europe by
the same power which of yore has
organized war in order to profit
This power thus in our present day
serves capitalist interests as well as
bolshevist instincts.
Danger Now Averted.
A description as to how great was
the danger that the oldest conti-
nent of civilization might be over
run this winter must be left to later
chroniclers. That this danger has
now been averted from Europe is to
the everlasting merit Of those SOL
diers whom we commemorate today.
A mere glimpse of the gigantic
preparations BolSheviSm made for
destroying our world lets us per-
Ceive with horror to what depth
Germans and the entire European
continent would have plunged un-
less the National Socialist move
ment had been given power in the
state 10 years ago and with deter
mination innate in it after failing
in it's efforts to delimit armaments
had inaugurated reconstruction OF
the German armed forces.
1t is becoming ever clearer that
this war in which Europe is involved
after the First World War is as
Stunning gradually the character of a
fight which is comparable only with
the greatest historical events of the
past Pitiless and mercileSs war was
forced upon us by eternal Jewry
which, if elements of destruction
could not be commanded to halt
at the frontiers of Europe, would
turn this continent into field OF
ruins.
1t would not be burned cities and
destroyed monuments of culture
which would be the worst results of
the struggle, but bestially- murdered
masses of people which would fall
ipSi n nj ASia in
as it occurred at the time of the
onslaught of Huns and MonGcls,
What is protected today by German
soldiers and soldiers of Germanys
allies in the east is not the iron
face" or social as we'll as spiritual
character Of this continent but
those eternal substances of mankind
which since the ages. have been
fundamental of all the qualities
which have determined human cul-
ture not only in Europe and Amer
lea, but nearly everywhere else.
Satanical Rage in West.
Apart from the world of barbarity
which is threatening from the east,
we are also experiencing a satanicai
rage of destruction from the So
called west, which is allied with it.
The war aims of our enemies are
known from numerous publications,
speeches and demands. The At
lantic Charter as compared to them
is worth as much as Wilson'S IA
points once compared with the ac-
tual form of the Dictate of Versatile.
Just as War-Inciter Churchill in
the parliamentary British democ-
racy showed the way to the future
development in 1886 when he was
not yet responsible for Britain's
policy with his remark that Ger
many must oLce again be destroyed,
so these same democracleS are
drafting the principles Of present
peace demands for the future for
nation Of Europe after the war as
they see it.
Their aims coincide completely
with the demonstrations of their
Bolshevist allies which we not only
know. but have actually experienced,
namely. annihilation of all national
minded continental nations. fore
most among them our own German
nation.
Whether British or American
newspapers parliamentary deputies,
popular orators and intellectualS are
demanding as the first war aim the
destruction of the Reich, stealing of
our children or sterilization of male
youth. etcetera, or whether Bolshe-
vism IN practice is butchering whole
nations of men, women and children,
is one and the same thing, for the
ultimate motive power after all IS
eternal hatred Of that cursed race
which for thousands Of years as the
scourge Of God has classified people
until the latter, in periods OF self
reflection, defended themselves
against their tormentors.
Home Front Now War Zone.
7 am saying this not for the Ger
man people, which today needs nc
support TO its moral attitude. The
home front has shown silent heroism
for more than 900 days. while
