82 - 2 - in Kaukaesus the Russians win, the Red Army is everywhere in the superpower of man and material. A moment of greatest ecstasy has come! - Not literally this was pronounced in Dietmar's speech, rather, this is briefly the content of his speech. This message of Job was also confirmed in Göring's subsequent speeches. A new key sounded up in German propaganda, the drawing of terrifying images of the future, which would then occur if Bolshevism would come over Europe. In this sense, England and America were also asked to repeat their efforts to become aware that, by supporting the Soviets, they would contribute to the safe demise of Europe. In his last speech, however, Göring also had to admit that the Nazis had made a thorough assessment of the Russian resistance and the strength of the army, as well as of their armament, that they had largely been underestimated. But despite all the speeches, the catastrophe approached unstoppable and could not be stopped by the victims of 330,000 German and Romanian soldiers. Stalingrad fell, and the German defeat had to be made public. On January 1st, they had constantly boasted and assured that the war could be waged for years and years from the unattainable Europe. The facts, however, speak a different language, and the truth looks different: the final phase of this monstrous wrestling of nations has taken place, the German defeats will become increasingly frequent from now on, the catastrophe of Germany is inevitable, already there are clear signs of a general exhaustion of both the physical and moral forces of the opponent, as in Germany, as well as in Italy. The continuous blows of the Red Army, the grueling swamps, the sagging of the forces and the exhaustion of the last reserves, this is the same psychological moment that also led i.J. lgl8 to the collapse of the German armyThis whole truth is no longer entirely able to be understood in the camp of the torment, therefore the propaganda tactics became fundamental. But it is self-evident, and I, too, believe that this war has not yet ended, that the enemy will be furiously fighting back before the end. However, the beginning of the end has come. That is why in Germany, too, the desperate efforts to mobilize all available forces, while large parts of the German army are already falling back, this decline has once begun, inexorably and the impending disaster on the East is inevitable. In the near future, individual parts of the troops shall be drawn back to "prepared lines", then this shall be repeated in great measure, and finally the parts withdrawn shall be withdrawn even further until the end is ineligible. And so also the continuous warnings of the Germans against Bolshevism, the demand of the European peoples to hold together now especially, all this that General Dietmar said in his desperate speech.
