That is Victory!

Letters of Faith in New Times and War

by Gnter dAlquen

Who among us mortals today is able to describe the Fhrer.

He was born of the people, grew from the people, was chosen by the people, and now stands
and lives and works in each of us. He wakens in each of us the strength that is Germanys new
growth. It is a brilliant union of the strength and power that this man means to us in the name of
the Reich.
And if this people had a single heart and this heart had a single mouth, this mouth alone could
speak of Adolf Hitler.
Who knows. Perhaps words would fail even that mouth, for do not words fail him who speaks of
his father or mother to a stranger, someone who has never met them and learned to love them.
We have therefore accepted the fact that those not of our blood can never comprehend the holy
secret of the mystery of Fhrer and people, or even begin to understand it. Their lack of
understanding was the most dangerous error that drove the enemy to war against the Reich.
Thus we have attempted to give a picture of the Fhrer whose truthfulness and accuracy mirrors
the image that is in the soul of the people.

We wanted to risk a cross section, listening to the deepest feelings of the German people,
achieving though many individual details a picture that comes as close as possible to that
inexpressible image that is before us all.
The best time seemed to us to be the Fhrers birthday. We wrote to people, both men and
women, who at various occasions had given us evidence of their friendship and confidence.
This was our request: Tell us who the Fhrer is to you. What role does he play in your life, in
your entire personal universe.
You do not need to say what you think the Fhrer means to the people as a whole or to history.
You are no better able to do that than any other mortal. We want to see the Fhrer from your
purely personal perspective, just as you would describe your father or your brother. Does not
after all the Fhrer belong to each of us in the same way?

You need feel no stage fright, for we need your thoughts not for the public, but for ourselves. We
want to broaden our view through your eyes, and we want to broaden our perceptions by using
your perceptions
Contrary to what we had promised, we chose to publish some of the many answers we
received. We had no choice, because it was all too clear to us that there is no professional writer
who is as able to speak of the Fhrer to the only real audience, the German people.
Today millions both at home and at the front stand in the midst of a decisive battle. More than
ever before, the will of the Fhrer expresses the united will of the people. Like his soldiers, Adolf

Hitler wears a field gray uniform. As leader of the Reich, he is also the image of the unknown
soldier.
From letters from officers and soldiers, we know that our heroes in Poland, in the West, and in
the North died with the Fhrers name on their lips. We know that today they speak with him
everywhere, on lonely watch, behind the hurricane of the spinning propeller, in the deadly
stillness of a submerged submarine.
We know, we feel and believe that his hand holds ours firmly. We hear his commands, his orders
as the reflection of our own desires.
This Fhrer is Germanys heart. Nay, more than that it is the eternal German soul, expressed in
us all, living at all times, yet never as much as today.
And what all these weak words cannot say, these sentences that follow will. They will bring
together melodies that will together form a powerful chorus that expresses the rhythm of our
existence:
A call to action, to a new life, and also since fate deems it, a call for Germanys victory through
Adolf Hitler!
