Triumph of the Will (1935) Movie Script
1
I open the Congress
of the Sixth Party Day...
in respectful public memory of...
General Field Marshal
and Reich President von Hindenburg...
who has passed into eternity.
The General Field Marshal
is remembered as the first soldier
of the Great War,
and thoughts as well
to our fallen comrades.
I greet the high representatives
of foreign states...
who by their presence are participating
in this day for their political parties.
In sincere friendship, the greeting
of the Movement is extended...
especially to the representatives
of the Armed Forces here...
now under the command
of the Fiihrer!
My Fiihrer:
Around you stand the flags
and standards
of National Socialism.
Only when they are threadbare,
will the people
be able to understand,
in hindsight,
the greatness of our time,
because of what you, my Fiihrer,
mean to Germany!
You are Germany!
When you act, the Nation acts.
When you judge,
the People judge.
Our thanks is the vow
to stand with you...
in good days and bad...
come what may!
Thanks to your leadership,
Germany will be attainable
as the homeland.
Homeland
for all Germans in the world.
To us, you were
the guarantor of victory.
To us, you are
the guarantor of peace!
Adolf Hitler! Hail victory!
Hail victory! Hail victory!
No revolution
that seems to be permanent...
can lead to anything other
than complete anarchy.
So the world will not live at war.
So also the People
do not live on revolution.
Nothing on this Earth that has lasted
for thousands of years...
was assembled in mere decades.
The largest tree also has
the longest period of growth.
What braves the centuries...
will also be strong
through the centuries.
It is our unshakable belief
in ourselves...
that is our hope
for the youth...
to carry on the work
which has been put
before them
in the stormy years...
of the revolt of 1918 in Munich...
and which is already part
of the entire German nation's history.
Truth is the foundation...
on which the power of the press
stands in the world.
And that it reports the truth
about Germany...
is the only demand that we place
on the foreign press.
As I speak, work on the Reich Autobahn
has begun at 51 locations.
Although this work
is in its early stage...
today there are already
52,000 men on the job...
and another 100,000...
engaged in the work
of allied industries.
Wherever we look,
all around there is building...
and new creations...
and activity and life...
which will continue into the future.
Maintaining the health of our farmers
is the primary foundation...
for the prosperity of industry...
for German business
and for foreign exports.
A people that does not protect
the purity of its race goes to seed!
All our work must be dictated
by a single thought
that the German worker...
be made an upright, proud
and equally entitled national comrade.
As the Leader
of the German legal service...
I can say that, clearly, the basis
of the National Socialist State...
is the National Socialist Law Code.
And for us, our highest Leader
is also the highest judge!
We know how sacred
the principles
of these laws
are to our Fiihrer.
These Reich laws can assure you,
national comrades...
that your life and existence are safe...
in this National Socialist State
of order, freedom, and law.
May the bright flame of our enthusiasm
never be extinguished.
It alone gives light and warmth...
to the creative art
of modern political propaganda.
This comes
from the depths of the people...
and from these depths of the people...
it must always again
find its roots and its strength.
It may be good to possess power
based on strength...
but it is better to win
and hold the heart of a people.
Today, the German people
are spiritually and soulfully ready...
to undertake their obligation
in the National Labor Service.
We have the Fiihrer's orders!
My Fiihrer:
I wish to present 52,000 RAD
men for your inspection.
Hail, Men of the Labor Service!
Hail, my Fiihrer!
Shoulder spades!
Spades at ease!
Here we stand.
We are ready...
to carry Germany into a new era.
Germany!
Comrade,
where do you come from?
From Friesenland.
And you, comrade?
From Bavaria.
And you?
From Kaiserstuhl.
- And you?
- From Pomerania.
And from Knigsberg.
From Silesia.
From the seacoast.
From the Black Forest.
- From Dresden.
- From the Danube.
- From the Rhein.
- And from the Saar.
One People!
One Leader!
One Reich!
Germany!
Today we work together...
in the swamp.
We work in the swamp.
And in the sand.
We dam the North Sea.
We plant trees.
We build roads...
from town to town,
and city to city.
We provide farmers
with new soils...
forests and fields,
land and bread...
for Germany.
We didn't stand in the trenches.
Nor were we
under the shell fire of grenades...
and still, we are soldiers.
- Sharpen the hammers
- Axes!
- Pick axes!
- And spades!
We are the Reich's
young manhood!
As once at Langemarck...
at Tannenberg...
before Liittich (Liege)...
before Verdun...
on the Somme...
on the Ahne...
in Flanders...
in the West...
in the East...
in the South...
on land, on water,
and in the air.
Comrades, who were shot
by the Red Front and reactionaries...
you are not dead!
You live in Germany!
My Labor Service men.
For the first time you are presented
for review in this forum...
before me and before
the German people.
You represent a great idea...
and we know that for millions
of our national comrades...
physical labor will no longer
be a divisive concept.
But it will instead bind us together.
And, furthermore...
no longer will it be the case
in Germany...
that physical labor will be seen
as anything less...
than any other work.
The whole nation passes
through your school.
The time will come
when no German...
can be admitted
into the community of the people...
until he has first become a member
of your community.
And you know that today
you are not only being seen...
by the hundreds of thousands in Nuremberg,
but by all of Germany...
which also sees you here
for the first time today.
And I know
that just as you serve...
this Germany proudly...
today with proud joy all of Germany
will see its sons marching in you!
Hail victory!
Hail victory! Hail victory!
Comrades.
Many of you here tonight knew me...
as an SA man...
marching in the rank and file...
in the first years of the Movement.
And party comrades,
just as I was an SA man then...
so I am still an SA man today!
We SA workers will always be true
only to the Fiihrer...
and fight for the Fuhrer.
My Fiihrer!
My comrades!
We live again for this hour
which makes
us proud and happy.
According to your command,
my Fihrer, a youth stands here...
a youth that knows
neither class nor caste.
The young generation of our people
follows after you.
Just as you demonstrate
the highest self-sacrifice
in this nation...
so does this youth
wish to be selfless.
Because you embody
the concept of fidelity for us...
therefore we wish to be faithful.
Adolf Hitler,
the Leader of German Youth, attention!
My German Youth.
After one year,
I can greet you again here.
You standing here today
represent something...
that is happening
all over Germany.
And we want you,
German boys and girls...
to absorb everything
that we wish for Germany.
We want to be one people...
and through you,
to become this people.
We want a society
without class or rank.
And you must not allow
these ideas to grow within you.
We want to see one Reich!
And you must
educate yourselves for this.
We want this people
to be obedient...
and you must
practice obedience in yourselves.
We want this people
to be peace-loving...
but at the same time
to be courageous.
And you must, for that reason,
be both peace-loving
You must be
both peace-loving and strong.
We want this people
not to become soft...
but to become hard
and, therefore...
you must steel yourselves
for this in your youth.
You must learn sacrifice...
and also never to collapse.
Whatever we create today...
whatever we do...
will all pass away.
But Germany will live on in you.
And when we
can no longer hold...
the flag that
we tore from nothing...
you must hold it
firmly in your fists!
And I know
that it cannot be any other way...
as we bind ourselves together.
For you are flesh of our flesh
and blood of our blood!
The same spirit that governs us...
burns in your young minds.
And when the great columns
of our Movement...
sweep through Germany today...
then I know
that you will close ranks...
for we know that in front of us lies Germany,
within us marches Germany
and behind us comes Germany!
A year ago...
we met for the first time
on this field
the first general review
of political leaders...
of the National Socialist Party.
200,000 men have assembled here.
They are not here
at the summons of their hearts alone...
but also at the summons
of their loyalty.
It was the great calamity
of our people...
that drove us to the struggle...
brought us together...
and left us greater.
Those who do not understand...
have not experienced
the same calamities among their people.
These things appear
enigmatic and mysterious...
that hundreds of thousands
would be led to assemble...
amidst calamity and passion.
Others cannot understand...
that this is not
an order of the state!
They are deceiving themselves!
The State does not order us!
We order the State!
The State did not create us!
Rather we created our own State!
No, the Movement lives...
and it is grounded hard and fast.
And as long as one of us
can draw a breath...
he will give his strengths
to the Movement...
just as it was in yesteryear.
Then drum will join drum...
flag will join flag...
group will join group,
Gau to Gau...
and after that,
this people, formerly divided...
will follow these sacred columns
of the Nation.
It would be an outrage
if we were to lose...
what we have fought for...
with so much labor,
so much worry...
so much sacrifice,
and so many privations.
One cannot live faithfully
and give up...
what has given meaning and purpose
to one's entire life.
That would not be so...
if it were not a cardinal command.
And no earthly power
gave us that command.
For the God, our God, who created
our people, gave us that command!
So it is our vow this night...
that each hour, on every day...
to think only of Germany
of the People and Reich...
and of our German nation!
To the German people!
Hail victory! Hail victory! Hail victory!
My Fihrer...
just as we have always
done our duty to you in the past...
so too, in the future,
we await your orders alone.
And we, comrades,
know only to obey...
the orders of our Fiihrer...
and to prove that we have remained
true to the Fihrer.
Our Fiihrer, Adolf Hitler!
Hail victory! Hail victory!
SA and SS Men:
A few months ago...
a dark shadow cast itself
across our Movement.
The SA and other institutions
of the Party...
had nothing whatever to do
with this shadow.
They who would believe that a rift has
opened in the unity of the Movement...
deceive themselves.
It stands fast as this block here...
and nothing in Germany
will break it.
And when anyone does harm
to my SA,
then the SA
will not be harmed.
But those who do this harm...
will injure only themselves!
And only a fool...
or a known liar...
could think...
that I would ever
disband an organization...
that took us so many years to build.
No my comrades...
we stand fast together
for our Germany...
and we must stand fast together
for this Germany.
And I hand to each of you
the new insignia...
placing them with confidence...
in the hands that I see as the most
trustworthy there are in Germany.
For in the past...
you have proved
your loyalty to me a thousand times.
In the time to come, it cannot
and will not be any different.
And so I greet you
as my old, faithful
SA and SS men!
- Hail victory!
- Hail! Hail! Hail!
The Fuhrer speaks:
The Sixth Party Day of the Movement
has come to an end.
What appeared
as a show of political strength...
for millions of Germans...
outside of our ranks
For hundreds of thousands
of fighters...
it was ultimately more.
The great personal
and spiritual meeting...
of the old fighters
and comrades in struggle.
And, perhaps,
a cross section of you...
despite the forced civility
of this review of our Party...
will return with courageous hearts
to the days in which it was difficult
to be a National Socialist.
When our Party consisted
of only seven members...
it already had two principles.
First, it would be a Party
with a true ideology.
And second, it would be,
uncompromisingly...
the one and only power
in Germany!
We had to remain in the minority,
because we mobilized...
the most valuable elements of struggle
and sacrifice in the Nation...
which have always been not
in the majority,
but rather in the minority.
And because these are the racially best
of the German nation...
they can,
in the proudest self-esteem...
claim the leadership
of the Reich and the people.
The German people...
have subordinated itself to
this leadership in ever-growing numbers!
The German people are happy...
in the knowledge
that a constantly changing vision...
has been replaced by a fixed pole!
Whoever feels that he is the carrier
of the best blood...
and knowingly uses it
to attain the leadership...
will never relinquish it!
There is always a part of the people
who stand out as really active fighters...
and more is expected from them...
than from the millions of national
comrades in the general population.
For them, it is not simply enough
to make the pledge, "/ believe!"
But rather, the affirmation, "/ fight!"
For all time to come, the Party will be
the source of Political Leadership...
for the German people.
It will in its teaching...
and was ultimately, in its organization,
hard as steel...
flexible in its tactics
and adaptable in its entirety;
yet it will be a training school
like a holy order for political leaders!
It must be shown, however...
that all upstanding Germans
become National Socialists.
Only the best National Socialists,
however, are Party Comrades!
Once, our enemies worried us...
and persecuted us
and, from time to time...
removed the lesser elements...
from the Movement for us.
Today, we must examine ourselves...
and remove from our midst
the elements that have become bad...
and therefore, do not belong with us!
It is our wish and will...
that this State and this Reich
last for a thousand years.
We can be happy to know
that this future
belongs entirely to us!
When the older ones
among us falter...
the youth will stiffen
and remain until their bodies decay.
Only then,
if we in the Party...
with our most obedient
dedication...
become the highest
embodiment
of National Socialist
thought and being...
then the Party will materialize...
into an eternal
and indestructible pillar
of the German people and Reich.
Then our glorious...
and laudable Army...
the old, proud standard-bearers
of our people...
who are equally tradition-minded...
will champion the Political
Leadership and the Party.
And then these two institutions
will equally educate the German man...
and, therefore, strengthen
and carry on their shoulders...
the German State,
the German Reich!
At this hour,
tens of thousands
of our Party Comrades
are already leaving the City.
While many of them relive
the meeting in their memories...
still others are already planning
the next review.
And again
the people come and go
and they will be engrossed
anew and happy and inspired,
for the Idea
and the Movement
live on in our people...
and with the Movement
are a symbol of eternity!
Long live
the National Socialist Movement!
Long live Germany!
The Party is Hitler!
But Hitler is Germany,
as Germany is Hitler!
Hitler! Hail victory!
Hail victory!
Raise the banner
The columns
are closed tightly
The SA marches
with a peaceful strong step
Comrades shot by the Red Front
and the Reactionaries
March in spirit
together in our columns
Comrades shot by the Red Front
and the Reactionaries
March in spirit together
in our columns.
I open the Congress
of the Sixth Party Day...
in respectful public memory of...
General Field Marshal
and Reich President von Hindenburg...
who has passed into eternity.
The General Field Marshal
is remembered as the first soldier
of the Great War,
and thoughts as well
to our fallen comrades.
I greet the high representatives
of foreign states...
who by their presence are participating
in this day for their political parties.
In sincere friendship, the greeting
of the Movement is extended...
especially to the representatives
of the Armed Forces here...
now under the command
of the Fiihrer!
My Fiihrer:
Around you stand the flags
and standards
of National Socialism.
Only when they are threadbare,
will the people
be able to understand,
in hindsight,
the greatness of our time,
because of what you, my Fiihrer,
mean to Germany!
You are Germany!
When you act, the Nation acts.
When you judge,
the People judge.
Our thanks is the vow
to stand with you...
in good days and bad...
come what may!
Thanks to your leadership,
Germany will be attainable
as the homeland.
Homeland
for all Germans in the world.
To us, you were
the guarantor of victory.
To us, you are
the guarantor of peace!
Adolf Hitler! Hail victory!
Hail victory! Hail victory!
No revolution
that seems to be permanent...
can lead to anything other
than complete anarchy.
So the world will not live at war.
So also the People
do not live on revolution.
Nothing on this Earth that has lasted
for thousands of years...
was assembled in mere decades.
The largest tree also has
the longest period of growth.
What braves the centuries...
will also be strong
through the centuries.
It is our unshakable belief
in ourselves...
that is our hope
for the youth...
to carry on the work
which has been put
before them
in the stormy years...
of the revolt of 1918 in Munich...
and which is already part
of the entire German nation's history.
Truth is the foundation...
on which the power of the press
stands in the world.
And that it reports the truth
about Germany...
is the only demand that we place
on the foreign press.
As I speak, work on the Reich Autobahn
has begun at 51 locations.
Although this work
is in its early stage...
today there are already
52,000 men on the job...
and another 100,000...
engaged in the work
of allied industries.
Wherever we look,
all around there is building...
and new creations...
and activity and life...
which will continue into the future.
Maintaining the health of our farmers
is the primary foundation...
for the prosperity of industry...
for German business
and for foreign exports.
A people that does not protect
the purity of its race goes to seed!
All our work must be dictated
by a single thought
that the German worker...
be made an upright, proud
and equally entitled national comrade.
As the Leader
of the German legal service...
I can say that, clearly, the basis
of the National Socialist State...
is the National Socialist Law Code.
And for us, our highest Leader
is also the highest judge!
We know how sacred
the principles
of these laws
are to our Fiihrer.
These Reich laws can assure you,
national comrades...
that your life and existence are safe...
in this National Socialist State
of order, freedom, and law.
May the bright flame of our enthusiasm
never be extinguished.
It alone gives light and warmth...
to the creative art
of modern political propaganda.
This comes
from the depths of the people...
and from these depths of the people...
it must always again
find its roots and its strength.
It may be good to possess power
based on strength...
but it is better to win
and hold the heart of a people.
Today, the German people
are spiritually and soulfully ready...
to undertake their obligation
in the National Labor Service.
We have the Fiihrer's orders!
My Fiihrer:
I wish to present 52,000 RAD
men for your inspection.
Hail, Men of the Labor Service!
Hail, my Fiihrer!
Shoulder spades!
Spades at ease!
Here we stand.
We are ready...
to carry Germany into a new era.
Germany!
Comrade,
where do you come from?
From Friesenland.
And you, comrade?
From Bavaria.
And you?
From Kaiserstuhl.
- And you?
- From Pomerania.
And from Knigsberg.
From Silesia.
From the seacoast.
From the Black Forest.
- From Dresden.
- From the Danube.
- From the Rhein.
- And from the Saar.
One People!
One Leader!
One Reich!
Germany!
Today we work together...
in the swamp.
We work in the swamp.
And in the sand.
We dam the North Sea.
We plant trees.
We build roads...
from town to town,
and city to city.
We provide farmers
with new soils...
forests and fields,
land and bread...
for Germany.
We didn't stand in the trenches.
Nor were we
under the shell fire of grenades...
and still, we are soldiers.
- Sharpen the hammers
- Axes!
- Pick axes!
- And spades!
We are the Reich's
young manhood!
As once at Langemarck...
at Tannenberg...
before Liittich (Liege)...
before Verdun...
on the Somme...
on the Ahne...
in Flanders...
in the West...
in the East...
in the South...
on land, on water,
and in the air.
Comrades, who were shot
by the Red Front and reactionaries...
you are not dead!
You live in Germany!
My Labor Service men.
For the first time you are presented
for review in this forum...
before me and before
the German people.
You represent a great idea...
and we know that for millions
of our national comrades...
physical labor will no longer
be a divisive concept.
But it will instead bind us together.
And, furthermore...
no longer will it be the case
in Germany...
that physical labor will be seen
as anything less...
than any other work.
The whole nation passes
through your school.
The time will come
when no German...
can be admitted
into the community of the people...
until he has first become a member
of your community.
And you know that today
you are not only being seen...
by the hundreds of thousands in Nuremberg,
but by all of Germany...
which also sees you here
for the first time today.
And I know
that just as you serve...
this Germany proudly...
today with proud joy all of Germany
will see its sons marching in you!
Hail victory!
Hail victory! Hail victory!
Comrades.
Many of you here tonight knew me...
as an SA man...
marching in the rank and file...
in the first years of the Movement.
And party comrades,
just as I was an SA man then...
so I am still an SA man today!
We SA workers will always be true
only to the Fiihrer...
and fight for the Fuhrer.
My Fiihrer!
My comrades!
We live again for this hour
which makes
us proud and happy.
According to your command,
my Fihrer, a youth stands here...
a youth that knows
neither class nor caste.
The young generation of our people
follows after you.
Just as you demonstrate
the highest self-sacrifice
in this nation...
so does this youth
wish to be selfless.
Because you embody
the concept of fidelity for us...
therefore we wish to be faithful.
Adolf Hitler,
the Leader of German Youth, attention!
My German Youth.
After one year,
I can greet you again here.
You standing here today
represent something...
that is happening
all over Germany.
And we want you,
German boys and girls...
to absorb everything
that we wish for Germany.
We want to be one people...
and through you,
to become this people.
We want a society
without class or rank.
And you must not allow
these ideas to grow within you.
We want to see one Reich!
And you must
educate yourselves for this.
We want this people
to be obedient...
and you must
practice obedience in yourselves.
We want this people
to be peace-loving...
but at the same time
to be courageous.
And you must, for that reason,
be both peace-loving
You must be
both peace-loving and strong.
We want this people
not to become soft...
but to become hard
and, therefore...
you must steel yourselves
for this in your youth.
You must learn sacrifice...
and also never to collapse.
Whatever we create today...
whatever we do...
will all pass away.
But Germany will live on in you.
And when we
can no longer hold...
the flag that
we tore from nothing...
you must hold it
firmly in your fists!
And I know
that it cannot be any other way...
as we bind ourselves together.
For you are flesh of our flesh
and blood of our blood!
The same spirit that governs us...
burns in your young minds.
And when the great columns
of our Movement...
sweep through Germany today...
then I know
that you will close ranks...
for we know that in front of us lies Germany,
within us marches Germany
and behind us comes Germany!
A year ago...
we met for the first time
on this field
the first general review
of political leaders...
of the National Socialist Party.
200,000 men have assembled here.
They are not here
at the summons of their hearts alone...
but also at the summons
of their loyalty.
It was the great calamity
of our people...
that drove us to the struggle...
brought us together...
and left us greater.
Those who do not understand...
have not experienced
the same calamities among their people.
These things appear
enigmatic and mysterious...
that hundreds of thousands
would be led to assemble...
amidst calamity and passion.
Others cannot understand...
that this is not
an order of the state!
They are deceiving themselves!
The State does not order us!
We order the State!
The State did not create us!
Rather we created our own State!
No, the Movement lives...
and it is grounded hard and fast.
And as long as one of us
can draw a breath...
he will give his strengths
to the Movement...
just as it was in yesteryear.
Then drum will join drum...
flag will join flag...
group will join group,
Gau to Gau...
and after that,
this people, formerly divided...
will follow these sacred columns
of the Nation.
It would be an outrage
if we were to lose...
what we have fought for...
with so much labor,
so much worry...
so much sacrifice,
and so many privations.
One cannot live faithfully
and give up...
what has given meaning and purpose
to one's entire life.
That would not be so...
if it were not a cardinal command.
And no earthly power
gave us that command.
For the God, our God, who created
our people, gave us that command!
So it is our vow this night...
that each hour, on every day...
to think only of Germany
of the People and Reich...
and of our German nation!
To the German people!
Hail victory! Hail victory! Hail victory!
My Fihrer...
just as we have always
done our duty to you in the past...
so too, in the future,
we await your orders alone.
And we, comrades,
know only to obey...
the orders of our Fiihrer...
and to prove that we have remained
true to the Fihrer.
Our Fiihrer, Adolf Hitler!
Hail victory! Hail victory!
SA and SS Men:
A few months ago...
a dark shadow cast itself
across our Movement.
The SA and other institutions
of the Party...
had nothing whatever to do
with this shadow.
They who would believe that a rift has
opened in the unity of the Movement...
deceive themselves.
It stands fast as this block here...
and nothing in Germany
will break it.
And when anyone does harm
to my SA,
then the SA
will not be harmed.
But those who do this harm...
will injure only themselves!
And only a fool...
or a known liar...
could think...
that I would ever
disband an organization...
that took us so many years to build.
No my comrades...
we stand fast together
for our Germany...
and we must stand fast together
for this Germany.
And I hand to each of you
the new insignia...
placing them with confidence...
in the hands that I see as the most
trustworthy there are in Germany.
For in the past...
you have proved
your loyalty to me a thousand times.
In the time to come, it cannot
and will not be any different.
And so I greet you
as my old, faithful
SA and SS men!
- Hail victory!
- Hail! Hail! Hail!
The Fuhrer speaks:
The Sixth Party Day of the Movement
has come to an end.
What appeared
as a show of political strength...
for millions of Germans...
outside of our ranks
For hundreds of thousands
of fighters...
it was ultimately more.
The great personal
and spiritual meeting...
of the old fighters
and comrades in struggle.
And, perhaps,
a cross section of you...
despite the forced civility
of this review of our Party...
will return with courageous hearts
to the days in which it was difficult
to be a National Socialist.
When our Party consisted
of only seven members...
it already had two principles.
First, it would be a Party
with a true ideology.
And second, it would be,
uncompromisingly...
the one and only power
in Germany!
We had to remain in the minority,
because we mobilized...
the most valuable elements of struggle
and sacrifice in the Nation...
which have always been not
in the majority,
but rather in the minority.
And because these are the racially best
of the German nation...
they can,
in the proudest self-esteem...
claim the leadership
of the Reich and the people.
The German people...
have subordinated itself to
this leadership in ever-growing numbers!
The German people are happy...
in the knowledge
that a constantly changing vision...
has been replaced by a fixed pole!
Whoever feels that he is the carrier
of the best blood...
and knowingly uses it
to attain the leadership...
will never relinquish it!
There is always a part of the people
who stand out as really active fighters...
and more is expected from them...
than from the millions of national
comrades in the general population.
For them, it is not simply enough
to make the pledge, "/ believe!"
But rather, the affirmation, "/ fight!"
For all time to come, the Party will be
the source of Political Leadership...
for the German people.
It will in its teaching...
and was ultimately, in its organization,
hard as steel...
flexible in its tactics
and adaptable in its entirety;
yet it will be a training school
like a holy order for political leaders!
It must be shown, however...
that all upstanding Germans
become National Socialists.
Only the best National Socialists,
however, are Party Comrades!
Once, our enemies worried us...
and persecuted us
and, from time to time...
removed the lesser elements...
from the Movement for us.
Today, we must examine ourselves...
and remove from our midst
the elements that have become bad...
and therefore, do not belong with us!
It is our wish and will...
that this State and this Reich
last for a thousand years.
We can be happy to know
that this future
belongs entirely to us!
When the older ones
among us falter...
the youth will stiffen
and remain until their bodies decay.
Only then,
if we in the Party...
with our most obedient
dedication...
become the highest
embodiment
of National Socialist
thought and being...
then the Party will materialize...
into an eternal
and indestructible pillar
of the German people and Reich.
Then our glorious...
and laudable Army...
the old, proud standard-bearers
of our people...
who are equally tradition-minded...
will champion the Political
Leadership and the Party.
And then these two institutions
will equally educate the German man...
and, therefore, strengthen
and carry on their shoulders...
the German State,
the German Reich!
At this hour,
tens of thousands
of our Party Comrades
are already leaving the City.
While many of them relive
the meeting in their memories...
still others are already planning
the next review.
And again
the people come and go
and they will be engrossed
anew and happy and inspired,
for the Idea
and the Movement
live on in our people...
and with the Movement
are a symbol of eternity!
Long live
the National Socialist Movement!
Long live Germany!
The Party is Hitler!
But Hitler is Germany,
as Germany is Hitler!
Hitler! Hail victory!
Hail victory!
Raise the banner
The columns
are closed tightly
The SA marches
with a peaceful strong step
Comrades shot by the Red Front
and the Reactionaries
March in spirit
together in our columns
Comrades shot by the Red Front
and the Reactionaries
March in spirit together
in our columns.
