First speech made by Adolf Hitler after his election
Fellow Germans... On January 30th of this year, the new National government was formed. I, and with me the National Socialist Movement joined it. I believed that what i had faought for in past years had been achieved. In 1918, when the war ended I felt, like many millions of Germans, that I was not responcible for the causesof the war, nor the outbreak of the war, nor the conduct of the war, nor was I responcible for the political situation in Germany. I was soldier, along with eight or ten million others. A time came, when a German could take pride only in the past while the future was only something to be ashamed of. With the decline of foreign policy and the decay of political power the internal collapce began. The dissolution of our great national institutions and decay and corruption in our administration. And so began the decline of our nationhood. All this was brought about, all this was caused by the men of November 1918.
And now we see the collapse of class after class. The middle classes are in despair. Hundreds of thousandsof lives are ruined. Every year situation grows more desperate for tens of thousands. Hundreeds of thousands are going bankrupt. And now the rank of the unemployed are beggining to swell. One, two, three million, four million, five million, six million, seven million.
HOW LONG CAN THIS GO ON?
Today it can be seven or eight million.
How lon can THIS go on?
How lon can THIS go on?
I am convinced, that we must act now if we are to act, before it's too late. Therefore, I decided, on January 30th with the support of my party, which began with seven members and now is twelve million strong, to save the Nation and the Fatherland.
Just as I worked tirelessly for fourteen years to built up this momentsand made it grow from seven men to twelve million, so will I and so will we all toil and work for the resurection of the German Nation.
People of Germany!
Give us 4 years and I swear, that as I took office, so will I leave it!
I did it not for reward!
I did it for YOU!!!
