As we began our fight with the Führer, we all shared one firm belief. A remarkable faith filled us all. Our hearers sensed it too. The people sensed it. We believed what we said. My German friends, the same must be true today. Understanding sometimes is not enough to explain something. Only faith is sufficient. The Führer in Nuremberg said: "Woe to him who does not believe!" He who does not believe has no soul. He is empty. He has no ideals. He has nothing to live for. He has no sunshine, no light, no joy in life. He is a poor, poor man. What is wealth? What are possessions? What does it all mean? Problems come despite them, only faith is left. Woe to him who does not believe! Woe to him who does not believe! Woe to him who does not believe! Woe to him who does not believe! The source: Robert Ley, "Schicksal--ich glaube!," Wir alle helfen dem Führer (Munich: Zentralverlag der NSDAP, 1937), pp. 103-114

"The Führer is always right" Dr. Robert Ley held a number of positions in Hitler's Germany. He was Reichorganisationsleiter (Reich Organization Leader), responsible among other things for much of internal party education. He was also head of the German Labor Front (DAF), the Nazi "union." This speech was given on 3 November 1936. It is a good example of the Nazi attempt to build a quasi-religious system of belief. "The Führer is always right," Ley says repeatedly.
