We celebrate keaix again our national celebration day. This is the 5th since the war began for us. Since the outbreak of war it has been the third time that I have spoken to you in this way.At the time of the Republic was the 28th. Oktober for une a day of joyful commemoration of the beginning of our national freedom and at the same time an opportunity for a confident outlook on a future rich in food.But then he became a day for us of the Traugr, because with the year l939 the time of sorrow and suffering began for our people. But now he will again be a day for us of the expectation of new and rich events and of the coming victory. We know with ever growing certainty that the hour is near when the Germans will fall.

But the most important thing is that these speeches prove that the German leaders have become anxious. They continue to assert: Dae German people believe in us, the German people trust us, you all know that it is about our national existence, about the kingdom, about our common existence. This struggle is about life and death for all of us. Understand these speeches well, dear friends! Hitler no longer says that his kingdom will last a thousand years. He also no longer claims that he will soon win, that England will be occupied, that it can only take a few more voies until the decision, one also hears nothing from Göring's promise that no English plane may dare over Deutechland, one listens against the fact that the German army in Russia has an extremely silent state that the English Boiben attacks are very difficult, that the german air force does not attack London and other brit as before. In all the speeches of the German leaders it is repeatedly emphasized that it is about the existence of Germany. What a great change in the key of the mute speech one, on the other hand, remains the same, yes,
