National Socialist (NS) Strategy

[Alex Linder]

[Very long article, well worth reading.]

Background: The Nazi Party's Central Propaganda Office, the Reichspropagandaleitung, published a monthly bulletin for speakers. It was designed to be kept in notebooks, divided by subject area. This is material issued in installments to speakers from August through December 1935, beginning just before the proclamation of the Nuremberg Laws. I've translated most of this because it is the material on which thousands of Nazi speeches was based, less visible than material published in the press, but spread by speakers in every corner of the country. It also is a good summary of what the Nazis were saying publicly about the Jews in late 1935. The claim is that Jews are being treated with remarkable gentleness and patience. I have a large collection of this speaker information material, which can be rather hard to find, so I have posted an index to my collection.

Our Battle against Judah

I. Our Battle against Judah

The Jews in the New Germany

Every day, new horror stories about the persecution of the Jews in National Socialist Germany leave emigrant lie factories in Prague, Paris, Switzerland, etc. They report tales of bloody oppression and torture of Jews living in Germany.

At the same time, however, the German people must realize that these oppressed Jews, if one is to believe the foreign news reports, are increasingly emerging from their temporary reserve and acting once again as if there had not been a 30 November 1933, and the resulting changes in our state.

Back in March 1933 when the National Socialist revolution began its victorious march through Germany, liquidating the collapsing Weimar state, those who now are hoping for its collapse were fearful of what might happen. Now that they see that the Führer and the National Socialist movement are generously refusing to respond in kind to the harassment and "battle" they waged with the basest methods, these people apparently think that they can become brave again.

There are two causes for the fact that the Jewish element is increasingly showing itself in public nearly everywhere. First, as already noted, the increasing activity of the Jewish element is undoubtedly the result of the patience the National Socialist state has shown to this foreign body amidst the German people. Second, one must also, unfortunately, conclude that the behavior of many people's comrades had enabled or encouraged the Jews. True, the National Socialist state, its lawgivers, and the relevant offices have the task of keeping the Jews in their appropriate place through the appropriate measures, and they will fulfill this task, in as far as it is within their power. Such measures have already been taken in a variety of areas. One need only be reminded of the Law for the Restoration of the Professional Civil Service, the Aryan Paragraph in the Wehrmacht and in sports, and the cleansing of the state, film, press, etc.

It would be entirely wrong, however, to think that the state could entirely resolve the task by laws and similar measures alone.

Even the best laws and measures will not be entirely effective as long as individual people's comrades do not act according to the spirit of these measures, as long as tens of thousands of housewives go to Jewish shops because they believe that's the only way to shop, as long as thousands of farmers believe that they can do their livestock trading only with an Abraham or a Moses, as long as thousands of shopkeepers get their goods from Jews, etc., etc. No one should be surprised that such behavior encourages the Jews to increase their insolent behavior toward their host people, and to renew the activities that they had given up from fear of retribution.

The significance or insignificance of the position of the Jewish element in Germany is answered by the results of systematic training and education of our people, and how far such training and education has come. But it is necessary to put an end to the thoughtless behavior of numerous people's comrades, and to eliminate thoroughly uncalled for humanitarianism and foolish sympathy. It is equally obvious that we need to wipe out the sympathy for this element, destructive to our people, that one still finds in some intellectually deficient brains. This will happen if we show the true face and the true thinking of this race over and over again, with pitiless clarity, and if we tirelessly continue our battle against this subversive element.

Some believe that we are using methods in this battle that are too harsh. We reply that our attacks and methods in this battle cannot be determined by our way of thinking, by whether we find them ugly or harsh, but rather we must use methods in our attacks that are appropriate for the opponent that we are attacking. [It is nearly impossible to get conservatives and Christians to understand this point. In fact, for all their claims the Nazis in truth were themselves too liberal, too infected with ideas of fairness. In fighting jews there is only room for one consideration: winning, and the best way to it.] One cannot battle the Jews with the politeness of the noble Aryan soul, for which he as no understanding. We need only think back on the methods that the Jew used against our movement during the period of struggle. No lie or slander was too crude to be used, to be seized and passed on by the Jews and their Jewish lackeys with eagerness, enthusiasm, and Satanic joy. We would have had little success replying then with refined arguments. It is just as impossible today to combat this creeping, subterranean danger with methods that the Jew would only laugh at. [Very true, these words, yet which WN understand them?]
