Speech on the Treaty of Versailles (April 17, ) Adolf Hitler
With the armistice begins the humiliation of Germany. If the Republic on the day of its foundation had appealed to the country Germans, stand togetherl Up and resist the foel The Fatherland, the Republic expects of you that you fight to your last breathand then millions who now enemies of the Republic would be fanatical Republicans. Today they are the foes of the Republic not because it is a Republic but because this Republic was founded at the moment when Germany was humiliated, because it discredited the new that men's eyes must turn regretfully toward the old . So long as this Treaty stands there can be no resurrection of the German people; no social reform of any kind is possible! The Treaty was made in order to bring 20 million Germans to their deaths and to ruin the German nation. But those who made the Treaty cannot set it aside. As its foundation Movement formulated three demands: 1 Setting aside the Peace Treaty Unification of all Germans 3. Land and soil to feed our nation Our movement could formulate these demands, since it was not our Movement which caused the , it has not made the Republic and it did not sign the Peace TreatyThere is thus one thing which is the first task of this Movement: it desires to make the German once more National that his Fatheriand shall stand for him above everything else. It desires to teach our people to understand afresh the truth of the old saying: he who will not be a hammer must be an anvil. An anvil we are today and that anvil will be beaten until out of the anvil we fashion once more a hammer a German sword! (the text may be have been cut in some parts)
