Copy. Annex 4 Speech of the Deputy Reich Protector at the rally of the BDK and white Freiw. Arbeitsdienst in Rudolfinum on 17.3.42. Her Nädels and Maiden! You have shown a cross section in Sort and Lied this evening through all that you are able to help the leader and the German people in the war with your powers. Some spoiled bushes have worked in your community and have learned to understand the meaning of this work and have become neat, German noodles. It is precisely on this militant and historically important ground of Bohemia and Moravia that I think it is right to repeat some of the basic ideas. In their innermost knowledge, they are the prerequisite not only for your achievements, but for the future of the German youth at all. In earlier times the youth was at first abundantly superficial, addicted to pleasure and richly indifferent to the problems of the future of the people and empire. Subsequently - especially at the time of the Bündisches Jugend - the intellectual attitude of the youth beat to the contrary - in self-abominable sectarianism. Today, we are striving to be or have a youth who, from an internal ideological certainty, with young people, is not only a child but also a child.
