Happy is a people who in heavy, proud or beautiful days has a musical treasure that makes his life great and rich. That our German soldiers sing their songs while marching. that in our houses music is cared for, that we give us at the Rundfunk, in the theaters and concert halls, in middle of the war the rich art of music, is a wonderful sign of our victorious power.
