However, we remain men who, if necessary, hold to life less than to freedom. If one sees that as “bloodthirsty,” and wishes to exterminate it, then one signs the death sentence for our nation at the same time!”
But the Jewish-Social Democratic sensationalist newspapers continue to lie that the Nazis are warmongers. The NSDAP knows all too well that one cannot wage war with a people that not only lacks weapons, but also lacks a military will. We are not unscrupulous, bloodthirsty militarists lusting to drive the people into war. National Socialism rejects such insolent miserable lies. We do not want war, but we also want to educate our people in a healthy, strong military thinking. We reject the weak pacifism that comes from cowardice, and affirm the old Prussian spirit of sacrifice. It is not necessary that the individual lives, but it is necessary that the German people lives.
The claim by the Red party hacks that if the Nazis gain power, there will be war, is just as impudent. To the contrary, a strong, stable National Socialist state, guided by one will, offers much greater safety than an impotent democracy that has decayed into countless parties. Such a unified state is also in a position to earn and benefit from appropriate respect from other states.
