14 - 2 - is likely to increase even further in the future, since the ter ror, the destruction, the concentration camps, the threats of shooting at sabotage, even not even before the German officers, is stopped, even to them, whether they are low or un generalé, if they are of different opinion, than the superior war genius of the Berchtesgadner Prophet, the death of shooting in sight.The murders of innocent women and workers of the occupied territories, the image is obtained, which will bring you to the anniversary of our national commemoration Hitler, Göring, Goebbels and Ribbentrop. I am adding to this picture that the Germans themselves have designed, by some facts: by the end of August I942, the Reich has lost over 4 million soldiers, who definitely withdrew from the service of the German war machine. The conditions in the German Transprotwesen are ca- tastropal and are getting worse and worse. The supply situation of the deutach people is already as bad as at the end of the year l9l7. Italy, which stands at the close of its forces, plays the same role for the empire as Habsburg in the world war. The last wave of war in Russia has brought the German army to the brink of exhaustion.The Germans themselves know this. If they do not pass the defensive war in the East, they will completely disintegrate their last forces. These difficulties and insoluble problems have given rise to disputes under the German leadership. Göring and a number of other generals. For example, against a summer offensive in the East, Hitler for propagandistic reasons insisted on the conquest of Stalingrad, which had already cost the Germans so many victims. The Germans have thoroughly reckoned with Stalingrad. The heroic Red Army still held Stalingrad up. All attacks of the Nazis failed, their last forces are exhausted. For these reasons, Halder and v. Bock had to disappear in the sinking. Characteristic of the mood in the German army is that Göring had to declare that everyone, even the highest officer, who did not obey, could become érschossen. The whole of Europe is filled with indelible hatred against the Nazis. We must also think of Italy, Romania, Hungary and the neutrals, whose true feelings will only be clear at the proper moment. All of this gives us a clear picture of the German situation at the beginning of the fourth year of the war and at the start of the now inexorable allied public sphere. This development will, I can assure you today, continue in the same direction. Finally, hit men, Göring and Goebbels will be just like Kaiser Wilhelm i.J. l918 find new words that they did not want this war at all, that its extension means a useless bloodshed, that perhaps some sort of compensation could be possible, that the German state and the German people mean well with the European yölkers and that one only has the desire for the future to live in peace with its neighbours. The end, however, will again be increased threats, the peoples of Europe will be threatened with the most terrible things, and finally Hitler will increasingly prophesy what we have heard from his mouth: it is possible that we will end up falling, but our case will be the end of all of Europe, we will, like Nero at the end, tear everyone connected with us into ruin. Yes, friends, Hitler's Pall will be like the Neros, the soap bubbles of the Berch tesgadner artist, who has brought Germany into this hopeless situation, will burst into nothing.
