"The struggle we are now waging today until victory or the bitter end is, in its deepest sense, a struggle between Marx and Christ."
Joseph Goebbels
"And among [our heroes] I want to count that man, one of the best, who devoted his life to the awakening of his -- our -- people, in his writings and his thoughts and finally his deeds: Dietrich Eckart."
Adolf Hitler, Mein Kampf {p. 17}
"Christ stands never otherwise than erect, never otherwise than upright ... eyes flashing in the midst of the creeping Jewish rabble .. and the words fall like lashes of the whip: 'Your father is the devil' (John 8:44)."
Dietrich Eckart, Bolshevism from Moses to Lenin {p. 18}
"In Christ, the embodiment of all manliness, we find all that we need."
Dietrich Eckart, Bolshevism from Moses to Lenin {p. 18}
"We struggle for a union of the small Protestant state churches into a strong Protestant Reich Church.... We are acting not as a party, but as Protestant Christians who only follow a call to faith from God, which we here in our Volk movement. As true members of our church we have a legitimate claim to have appropriate consideration given to the greatness and inner strength of National Socialism in church life and the church administration."
Helmut Brucker, Gauletier of Silesia, "Richtlinien fur Kirchenfragen," Bundesarchiv Berlin-Zehlendorf (10 Nov. 1932: Breslau) {p. 73}
“And now Staatspräsident Bolz says that Christianity and the Catholic faith are threatened by us. And to that charge I can answer: In the first place it is Christians and not international atheists who now stand at the head of Germany. I do not merely talk of Christianity, no, I also profess that I will never ally myself with the parties which destroy Christianity. If many wish today to take threatened Christianity under their protection, where, I would ask, was Christianity for them in these fourteen years when they went arm in arm with atheism? No, never and at no time was greater internal damage done to Christianity than in these fourteen years when a party, theoretically Christian, sat with those who denied God in one and the same Government.”
(Adolf Hitler, in a speech delivered at Stuttgart, February 15, 1933)
“We were convinced that the people needs and requires this faith. We have therefore undertaken the fight against the atheistic movement, and that not merely with a few theoretical declarations: we have stamped it out.”
