Nuremberg, Sept. 12.
IHE Fuehver wound up the Nationak Socialist party rally of Greater Germany this evening with a speech which began with the development of the party from its first rally in September 1923, when every National Socialist—he declared—was fighting against persecution and defamation up to the present moment When, as the chief organ of the state, the party finds itself fighting the very game farces.
His movement, the Fuehrer stated, was a people's movement from the very outset, addressing itself above all the workers. It Was not only fought by the Marxist parties as their most dangerous enemy but was also completely misunderstood by the bourgeoisie, who in their opposition to it often made common cause with the Marxists.
The party therefore fought a lone battle to achieve power.
"We all recall those days with a feeling of pride. Everybody was against us. National Socialism meant to be defamed and forsaken by all. Everybody hated and péfsecuted us and countless ig the huttber of those of us who had to pay for their belief with-imprisonment. Many of us shed their blood and died for our idea when terror without compare was used against us. Those times are near to us today in a twofold sense, firstly because we see in our midst as compatriots and citizens of the German Reich out fellow fighters from the Ostmark. How much they had to put up with and how many of their comrades were slain. How many of them had to spend year after year in jail and internment camps. Secondly it is a fact that in (he great happenings in the world of today there is almost an exact repetition of the things we lived through and had to put up with within our own 7 country and what is more, our présent enemies of today are in point of ideology identical with those of ihe past."
