Tribute to Mussolini

The Fuehrer then paid a tribute to "the only real friend we have today, Benito Mussolini."

"I would like to mention also the other statesmen who' devoted their efforts to finding the road to peace and who with that great Italian, succeeded in bringing about the conventions which gave the Reich ten lion Germans," Herr Hitler continued.

"I am happy that peace was saved, but the experience of the past eight months shows us that we have to remain more cautions than ever and to neglect nothing which could be useful for the protection of the Reich. We have before us statesmen who nies. We know the strange political constructions which exist around us.

Every German who wants peace is ready at all times for sacrifices."
