Tryl Reichstag. — 3rd Sisseung. Friday, September 1, 1939. (A) proposes to bring about a change in the intolerable state (C). It is a lie, if in the world 2 it is claimed, that we all tried to penetrate our nevisions only under pressure. 15 years before National Socialism came to power, one had the opportunity, by means of the most peaceful understanding 3. Sisseigung. It was not done. In every case, I did not even make proposals from myself, but often proposals for the revision of Friday, September 1, 1939. tolerable conditions. All these proposals have been rejected, as you know. I do not need to list them in detail: page the proposals on arms limitation, yes, if necessary opening address of the President . . . 4 negotiable, on arms elimination, the proposals for 45 A restriction of warfare, the suggestions for declaration of the Reich government . . 45 B Elimination of methods of modern Adolf Hitler, Führer and Neichskanzler 45 B warfare, which are quite difficult to clean up, in my view. You are aware of the proposals I made about the reunion of the need to restore German sovereignty over the German Neighborhoods, the Free City of Gdansk with the interpretation of the endless attempts I made to create a peaceful empire. . . . 48 D continued on the problem of Austria and later on on the issue of Sudetenland, Bohemia Dr. Frick, Member of Parliament . . . 49 A and Moravia. It was all in vain. One thing, however, is final words of the President. . .. 49 D impossible to demand that an unbearable condition ..... be cleaned up on the path of peaceful Nevision, and to consistently refuse the peaceful Ne Vision. It is also impossible to claim that the President Göring: the Reichstagsisseung is then in such a situation to open up on his own initiative. to make these nevisions, to violate a thing of the past. The dictation bon Versailles is for us Germans not a My Honourable Member! You were only able to convene today (B) Geses. tomorrow at 3 o'clock. Thanks to the (D) (stormy approval.) organization, the provision of airplanes and motor vehicles it has succeeded in getting a large part of the departure. It is not up to someone with a gun ordered in time. More than 100 people who are ordered to starve millions are not among us today, because they are blackmailing people there and they are standing where today the German man will best document his document with this forced signature as an attitude to proclaim ceremonial presence as a soldier of the Germans. Wehrmacht. They will do their duty there, as the entire Reichstag will do (call: Pfui!). So in the case of Gdansk and Korri-We have also tried to reach the dors by peaceful proposals on the way of discussion to solve the problems. That they had to be solved acceptance of a declaration of the Reich government. That was clear. (Leading consent.) The word has our leader. And that the date of this solution may perhaps be uninteresting for the Western states is understandable- Adolf Hitler, Führer and Chancellor of the Reich (with regard to; but we are not indifferent to this date, welcomed before ghosted salvific calls): Deputies, men but everything he was and could not be indifferent about the German Neighborhood! For months we have been suffering for the suffering victims. In discussions, everyone under the agony of a problem which once caused us the thoughts of Polish statesmen, which you gave to Versailles Diktat, and which was now in my last speech here in the Reichstag, which was unbearable to us. Danzig was and is a German city. He took it, discussed. No one can claim that this was, for example, an undue procedure or even a corridor, and is German. All these areas would have been undue pressure. I would like to thank the German people for their cultural development, and I must repeat once again that there would be deep barbarism. Gdansk was separated from it something more loyal and modest than that from us, the corridor of Poland annexed, the proposals submitted to me do not give. There living German minorities are abused in the most agonizing way. More than 1 million people were forced to leave their homes in 1919 and I would like to say this to the world: I alone had left their homeland in 1920. As always, I have at all only been able to make such borasts; here too, on the way of peaceful revision (renewed lively approval; clapping of hands) Reichstag 1939. 3. Sişung.
