"You must always bear in mind that you are the representatives of the Empire.Everyone vén you promote Germany or damage German reputation.That is the responsibility no one can get around.That's why every German must be an example.The German of the Iceman works on himself in the most faithful execution of the lights, his high responsibility consciously, relentlessly, plainly and bravely goes his way, the respect and trust of the honest Czech becomes. We must always be aware, however, that just as each of us always and everywhere represents Germany, the whole nation and the whole Grossdeutsche Reich stand behind every upright, militant and honest German today." S d Germans in Budweis on 4 June 1939. * As a nation waging a war for its last and most holy, we claim for ourselves all the rights of a belligerent nation, just as the humanity-proclaiming France does in Alsace.Just as it is impossible that the inner front, the front of the homeland, in the Old Kingdom can be shaken even in the least - it is also impossible that this should be done. From now on, we will only be able to accept subterranean dichotomy, resistance or demonstrative acts once again.From now on we will act with the sharpest means without warning.Anyone who is not with us is against us.Ver against us will be shattered.This will be sent to all the phantasts and il-lusionists in the opposing camp in the Stammbuch." State Secretary K.H.Frank NSDAP on the Altstädter-Ring on December 2, 1939. St. S. XT- 8/4
