67 =u7n social validity and to use the number, I hereby give the following instructions for the Nskoy of the whole Gaues: "As front soldiers and Nazis you all have from now on a competition for manifestations and to reject the number. From now on you have to offer all the strength to work inward with the aim of forming exemplary soldiers' communities from our comrades, which are able to be all others, but above all the youth, model and scale. I call on all NSKov circles of the Gaues to fight for achievement, from National Socialist front soldier mentality the National Socialist Front soldier performance must arise in the Nskov des Gaues.

This motion, based on this popular political justification, cannot therefore be at odds with the debate of the Gauleiter with the Reichskriegerführer of the 12th year 1939 and can only be misunderstood by those who are inexperienced in questions of dc's protectorates. The move towards unification and inner unity is a characteristic of the Nazi world view. As a follower of this view, one may perhaps think of the
