Der Fuehrer - Hitler's Rise to Power (1944) - Heiden

124 DER FUEHRERto you, my boys! You are only eighteen or nineteen, and you have thegood luck to be hated by the greatest of scoundrels. What others mustfight for through a life of toil, this highest treasure, the distinction of thehonorable man from the bandit, falls into your lap in your youth.'But when Hitler speaks to his German boys, he nevertheless looks farbeyond the walls of a smoky beer hall. There are other nations, otherboys who today believe that Germany is the enemy; but one day theywill understand that there is only one common enemy of them all,disguised in the masks of Moses and Isaac Kohn. Why did England goto war against Germany? 'A large-scale propaganda campaign againstGermany was launched in the press. But who was the chief of thiscommercial press ? One name crystallizes out: Northclifre— a Jew.'Alfred Harmsworth, Lord Northcliffe, was no Jew, nor even of Jewishdescent. But Hitler goes on: 'What cause did America have to go to warwith Germany? Well, with the outbreak of the war, all the Jewish firmsin the United States began to sell war materials. The venal press,dependent on the stock-exchange kings, launched an unprecedentedpropaganda campaign. A gigantic organization of press lies was builtup. And again it was a Jewish concern, the Hearst Press, which laiddown the tone of the agitation against Germany.' William RandolphHearst is neither Jewish nor of Jewish descent. But since Jewishpropaganda is at the roots of everything in contemporary world history,we, the armed intellectuals, shall answer them with our own propagandaeverywhere. And thus Hitler one spring day in the little Bavariancountry town of Tolz, before a gathering of beer-drinking and pipesmokingpeasants and lumbermen, launched his battle-cry to the fivecontinents:Aryans and anti-Semites of all nations, unite in the struggle againstthe Jewish race of exploiters and oppressors of all nations!Which means: Arise; master race of the globe!
