English Translation

This is a proof of the continuing power of unique historical design and a proof that the idea of the empire has also remained alive outside the state of the Germans. It is now a question of revising the historical image that arose among the Germanic peoples of the West and the North on the basis of hostile propaganda and false education, and of restoring the actual historical conditions according to which the Dutch, the Flamen, Walloons and the Scandinavians have lived a free and rich cultural life for centuries as members of the Empire. We have to think in hundreds of years. The hostile propaganda in these countries has raised the foreground of survival. State formations, which were created by the French Revolution and by the English equilibrium policy artificially and spasmly, cannot exist before the bronze law of history. Today the state creations of the 19th century suffer. But the idea of the kingdom arises like the phoenix from the ashes of all peoples who are Germanic blood and who have lost faith in the existence of a state special life without or even against the kingdom. The idea of the Empire is the strongest memory of this continent and at the same time the strongest real force for a permanent historical order. The Empire and Europe We are now clear that the Germanic state creations of the past were only of temporary duration because they allowed the strength of the race to flow out of the feeling of an inexhaustible wealth again and again in foreign folkry.The racial thought obliges us for the future to the strongest preservation and concentration of our strength. From this self-abundance and often a lack of or too little self-consciousness arose also the tragic discord that dominates the medieval empire. Only in this way can it be explained that the then Germanic-ordered Europe fell victim to the universalism of the Roman imperial idea and Christianity and used valuable blood for ideas that were contrary to his tradition and his worldview. It is necessary to recognize clearly the mistakes of the past if the future is to be shaped: moreover, we must keep to the fact that a lasting order in Europe can only be determined by the kingdom. As in the past, Europe's fate is also determined in the future by the fate of the empire. Europe was a unity, the centre of human culture, as long as the empire was great and powerful. At the height of its power, the kings of England and France considered themselves to be the fiefmen of the German emperor. However, Europe was peaceless and exposed to the attack of foreign powers when the empire disintegrated. We must remember that the name as well as the historical reality that we embrace with the word Europe are a creation of the Nordic race.
