5a people and nation now appear only as special manifestations of this thought. The revolutionization of the thinking about the state, dię having first taken place within our empire, has already struck its waves beyond the old imperial boundaries. It is no longer to be maintained and, with the errors of the old liberalist concept of state, is to be removed just as relentlessly as the old smaller states, artificially formed by the English balance policy, run over the heap. The trial of the confrontation with the Asian opponent has not been able to survive the state system of Versailles. And we stand today, in the midst of struggle and in the middle of adversity, before a state reorganization of Europe, the birth of the kingdom of the race. This is the goal of our struggle. To its bearers are all those who in their nature are determined by the same blood. However, the German feels as the core of this empire, which should encompass the whole space of our race. He, too, must not regard this empire as an extension of his national state idea. The German nation state idea found its last fulfillment in 1938.

The German revolution has become a Germanic revolution. Above the battlefields of the most powerful war against a world of enemies who try to suffocate the germ of a new order of life through the German revolution, the call to the Germanic peoples for their one Germanic empire rises powerfully. The Eternal Empire The idea of the Nordic Empire was not born from our time. It accompanies our entire historical life as the idea of an orderly world in which the humanity of our race is leading by its artistic creative power, by its ingenuity, through its ability to create an organic structure, enclosed in the idea for an empire. The centuries of proud German imperial history are close to us again, in addition to all the empires that owe their origin to the Nordic leadership: the kingdom of the Cherusker Armin, the Bataver Civilis, Marbods, the Burgundy, the Wandalen, Theoderich and Charles the Great, who founded the Germanic West, the warden from the Baltic Sea to the Black Sea, the Vikings and the Normans. The history of these Germanic peoples is our own history. We can experience today that in the ranks of the weapons-4 leading men of the Germanic folkdom, who for centuries outside the empire a heavy and lonely struggle against the Uber- 2
