For even where this training has to deal historically with the past, in order to be alive and meaningful, it can only start from the political present and take its justification from the tasks of the future. However, the present situation and the future task must be characterized by the following two statements: 1. The destruction of an opponent's organization is not synonymous with the destruction of the opponent himself. This one is completely wiped out, even if his last follower is made illustrative or harmless. The great mass of Marxist adherents in Germany today is won in a world-view. However, decades of intellectual poisoning by Marxism is still in effect and provides the basis for the effectiveness of illegal Marxism. 2. For Germany, Marxism, which has always been internationally bound, has today become an internal political opponent. Today, a "Europe Awakens" has emerged from the "German Land Awaken" of the NSDAP's time of struggle.
