The Reich Head and Reich Minister Dr. Goebbels publishes in the German weekly "Das Reich" on Saturday, the 8th. November, the essay "When or how?" by Reichsminister Dr. Goebbels. It has only become clear to us during the course of this war. This more than modest German as well as sick post-war Europe was and what demands were needed by our enemies in the wind-pervasive measures, needed and still beaten, yes, used on the occasion of the war, and how one will need to bring it back completely to recovery to earthquakes in the wake of these cynical outbursts. As with a human being a harmless flu demands the great shock over our continent. sometimes a whole series of latently existing sick- all old, never or only completely insufficiently can cause the outbreak, so can a solved problems of Europe break up with it. That Versailles's little-important process of great shocks in this part of the world still fell into its shackles, that they cause a part of earth. He understands nothing of politics, dying Plutodemocracies the socialist, with its s means of becoming history, which believes that the growing. In addition, the number of children in far too narrow a space must always have been the cause of the great humanity-compressed Germany with its stranglehold at the throats of disasters and peoples' transformations. They thought that the young Axis powers from the riches shot in Serajevo, for example, excluded the world war and raw materials of the world and thus caused one, but not caused. Europe at that time was slowly sieving and people's death were condemned to be ripe for it. It was already ripe a few years earlier; England, with the help of its listeners, only wanted to see to it that those responsible at that time in Germany did not want to see the continent's danger, which seemed to be appalling at the appropriate time, which allowed things to go on and to stir up, that in the East the Soviet then in a situation forced to make a decision to condemn Union 170 million to a state of misery, in order to build up a Bolshevik army with which it and that now had become quite unfavorable. If one could fall over the continent during the great crisis, knows that an unrelenting opponent is facing one, that it had the firm intention, in a barbaric one which just put on his rifle, to shoot from the best position from the people's revolution the last pillars of his economic, then one does well to give his shot to previous social, cultural and social life. A national leadership is acting responsibly to bring down: these questions were now under discussion. go if it is slow to push things up, without you all being due in this war to the solution whether we want to see the danger and then want to go to arms or not. We must continue to call for the law if they have already lost their sharpness. It is therefore also clear that in the course of one of us, none of us will be able to avoid it. We can have historical struggles in which there is a shift of existence or non- / nothing and nothing is postponed. That is why his entire peoples act, the real cause which triggered this struggle of every single campaign of this war historically, is increasingly a war for themselves to the thinking of the people, which we, if we disappeared today and faded in their memory. How small does not lead, in the future probably under unequally much seems to us today in view of the ins Gigantic more unfavourable circumstances must lead. No one will widen dimensions of this war the question which it will assume that the European problems went solved in August 1939. The city of Gdansk should have been again in the summer of 1939, if Poland had in Danzig in summer 1939
