Mein Kampf
The volkish minded man, in particular, has the sacred duty, each in his own denomination, of making people stop just talking about God's will, and actually fulfill God's will, and not let God's word be desecrated. For God's will gave men their form, their essence and their abilities. Anyone who destroys His work is declaring war on the Lord's creation, the divine will.
The task of preserving and advancing the highest humanity, given to this earth by the benevolence of the Almighty, seems a truly high mission.
Human culture and civilization on this continent are inseparably bound up with the presence of the Aryan. If he dies out or declines, the dark veils of an age without culture will again descend upon this globe. The undermining of the existence of human culture by the destruction of its bearer seems in the eyes of a volkish philosophy the most execrable crime. Anyone who dares lay hands on the highest image of the Lord commits sacrilege against the benevolent creator of this miracle and contributes to the explosion from paradise.
The Germanic inhabitant of the American continent, who has remained racially pure and unmixed, rose to be master of the continent; he will remain the master as long as he does not fall a victim to defilement of the blood. The result of all racial crossing is therefore in brief always the following: (a) Lowering of the level of the higher race. (b) Physical and intellectual regression and hence the beginning of a slowly but surely progressing illness. To bring about such a development is, then, nothing else but to sin against the will of the Eternal Creator.
It is a sin against the will of the Eternal Creator if His most gifted beings by the hundreds and hundreds of thousands are allowed to degenerate in the present proletarian morass.
Peoples which bastardize themselves, or let themselves be bastardized, sin against the will of eternal Providence.
If our churches also sin [by presiding over interracial marriages] against the image of the Lord, whose importance they still highly emphasize, it is entirely because of the line of their present activity which speaks of the spirit and lets its bearer, the man, degenerate into a depraved proletarian.
[Would not an societal admonition] finally put to and end to the constant and continuous original sin of racial poisoning, and to give the Almighty Creator beings such as He Himself created?
A volkish state must therefore begin by raising marriage from the level of a continuous defilement of the race, and give it the consecration of an institution which is called upon to produce images of the Lord and not monstrosities halfway between man and ape.
What we must fight for is to safeguard the existence and reproduction of our race and our people, the sustenance of our children and the purity of our blood, the freedom and independence of the fatherland, so that our people may mature for the fulfillment of the mission allotted it by the creator of the universe.
Then, from the child's story-book to the last newspaper in the country, and every theatre and cinema, every pillar where placards are posted and every free space on the hoardings should be utilized in the service of this one great mission, until the faint hearted cry, "Lord, deliver us," which our patriotic associations send up to Heaven today would be transformed into an ardent prayer: 'Almighty God, bless our arms when the hour comes.
His [the Jew's] life is entirely only of this world, and his spirit is inwardly as alien to true Christianity as his nature two thousand years previous was to the great founder of the new doctrine. Of course the latter made no secret of his attitude toward the Jewish people, and when necessary he even took his whip to drive from the temple of the Lord this adversary of all humanity.... In return Christ was nailed to the cross.
At times of greatest distress, fury against him [the Jew] finally breaks out, and the plundered and ruined masses begin to defend themselves against the scourge of God.
They [German leaders who collaborated with Jews] made a pact with the devil and landed in hell.
And so he [the Jew] advances on his fatal road until another force comes forth to oppose him, and in a mighty struggle hurls the heaven-stormer back to Lucifer.
With Satanic joy in his face, the black-haired Jewish youth lurks in wait for the unsuspecting girl whom he defiles with his blood.
Religion is ridiculed [by Jews], ethics and morality represented as outmoded.
Parallel to the training of the body a struggle against the poisoning of the soul must begin. Our whole public life today is like a hothouse for sexual ideas and simulations. Just look at the bill of fare served up in our movies, vaudeville and theaters, and you will hardly be able to deny that this is not the right kind of food, particularly for youth... Theater, art, literature, cinema, press, posters and window displays must be cleansed of all manifestations of our rotting world placed in the service of a moral, political, and cultural idea.
The great masses of people do not no consist of philosophers; precisely for the masses, faith is often the sole foundation for a moral attitude.
For how shall we fill people with blind faith in the correctness of [Nazi] doctrine?.... Here, too, we can learn by the example of the Catholic Church. Though its doctrinal edifice.... comes into collision with exact science and research, it is none the less unwilling to sacrifice so much as one little syllable of its doctrines.
We Germans, by God, have never lacked scientific education.
In any case the Jew reached his desired goal: Catholics and Protestants wage a merry war with one another, and the mortal enemy of Aryan humanity and all Christendom laughs up his sleeve.
{Hitler hopes that] through compatibility on both {Protestant and Catholic] sides, the nation is given a future which by its greatness would gradually have a conciliatory effect in this province as elsewhere.
It is, therefore, necessary that the National Socialist movement be recognized and established in the eyes of all as the champion of a definite political purpose. Whatever heaven has in store for us, let men recognize us by our very visor!
MK and a 1936 speech -
I am convinced that I am acting as an agent of our Almighty creator. By warding off the Jews I am fighting for the Lord’s work.
Hitler 1922 -
My feeling as a Christian points me to my Lord and Savior as a fighter. It points me to the man who once in loneliness, surrounded by only a few followers, recognized these Jews for what they are and summoned men the fight against them and who, God’s truth!, was greatest not as a sufferer but as a fighter. In boundless love, as a Christian and as a man, I read through the passage which tells is how the lord rose at last in His might and seized the scourge to drive out of the temple the brood of vipers and adders. How terrific was the fight for the world against the Jewish poison. Today, after two thousand years, with deepest emotion I recognize more profoundly than ever before the fact that it was for this He had to shed His blood upon the cross. As a Christian I have no duty to allow myself to be cheated... For as a Christian I have also a duty to my own people. |
