May a benevolent skill give you the strength and health to solve the tasks set for you by our hotly-loved leader, so that our homeland by you, highly esteemed comrade, can do what our inability, despite sincere will, cannot do. Thus, we can only with warm heart and greatest adoration and esteem wish to accompany you in your heavy task pond, but also, each in its kind, the homeland and thus Grossdeutschland to the best of its ability. Heil Hi t l he ! Her very devoted au terea
