Once his Grace was upon us and we were not worthy to keep it. In this dire need we learnt to pray once more. We learnt to respect one another. We believed in the virtues 6f a people. We tried again to be better. So there arose a new community that cannot be compared with the people that lie behind us. It has become better, nobler. We feel it. The Grace of the Lord God now turns again at last towards us, and in this hour we fall on our knees and pray the Almighty to bless us. and to give us strength to endure the struggle for the freedom and the future and the honour and the Peace of our People and nf all mankind. So help us God. CHAPTER ]. FOUNDATIONS OF GERMAN RELIGION. For the Germanic peoples true religion is founded in race. Thus in tracing the foundations of German religion we must necessarily go back to the beginnings of the Aryan race. According to Professor L. A. Wadell, the Sumerian civilisa'ion of Mesopotamia was founded in 3373 B.C. This was a fully fledged Aryan culture, which some authorities consider to have been trans- planted from Atlantis, thus surviving the cataclysm which then enveloped the world. Comyns Beaumont has advanced the theory that ancient Britain was an outpost of the empire of Atlantis, the first civilisation. While Atlantis succumbed in the flood, Britain survived, together with the Aryan civilisation which consolidated itself in Asia Minor and after- wards spread itself all over the world. The civilisations of Egypt and China were of later origin, and, together with Greece and Rome at their height of power, were Aryan in origin and pattern. From scientific observation it is clear that the Aryans, the traditionally long-headed, blue-eyed and fair-haired people in their highest racial manifestation, were the founders of social order, the creators of culture. The word " Aryan " derives from " Avra." which in Indian and Persian language meant " exalted or noble one." The Sumerian word " Ara" meant " lofty, shining." The word " aristocracy " of modern usage comes from the same root. The true leadership of nations has always derived from rule by the racial elite, vviih their w h o l e l i f e — r e l i g i o u s , c u l t u r a l a n d p o l i t i c a l - - f o u n d e d m the eternal values o f p u r e b l o o d .

C . Tacitus ( A . D . 55-120), R o m a n historian, wrote a book about Germany, the full title of which is concerning the geography, the manners and customs, and the tribes of Germany." He dwelt particularly on their vigorous and indepen- dent spirit. He foresaw the danger to the R o m a n Empire, and contrasted the barbaric strength of the Germans with the servile degeneracy of the Romans. N o records exist of German literature prior to the age of Charle- magne (9th century). His reign had the greatest importance for Germany. It was the first time that the Germans, in political and religious outlook and organisation, became a united people. H o w - ever, the sagas upon which the national and racial epics of a later date were founded owed much to the movement of the 5th century known as " Volkerwanderung " or " Migration." During the 5th century Attila (d. 453) played a vital part in European history, and became virtually supreme in Central Europe. With many Teutonic tribes as his allies, he ruled for nearly 20 years practically without a rival, from the Caspian to the Rhine. Under the name of Etzel, Attila plays a part in the Teutonic legend, " Niebe- lungenlied." In passing we should consider briefly the mythical-historical content of the " Niebelungenlied " and other Nordic sagas. The " Niebelungenlied received its present form in Austria at the end of the 12th century. One may see the struggle against the misuse and the curse of gold symbolised in the heroic myths. The racial-soul of Germanic religion is evidenced in the conduct of the chivalrous Siegfried. The myth contains powerful parallels for the present day. For just as Siegfried was betrayed by Gunther, for whom he had previously won Brunhild, so we witnessed the betrayal by many nations, as well as by internal enemies, of the German hero. A d o l f Hitler, despite his prodigious efforts for his race and people, and for whom he yet won the real, spiritual victory. N o w also we may see developing a parallel between the bereaved Kriemhild's acceptance of Etzel (Attila) as husband and the app cach- ing German-Russian agreement. K r i e m h i l d accepted Etzel on condition that he helped her to avenge the betrayal of Siegfried. We may be certain that the betrayal of A d o l f Hitler will be avenged, or rather as He himself said on 30 January, 1943 : " E v e r y nation and every individual is being weighed in the balances, and those found wanting will fall. G o d will be a Just Judge." A s the S'egfried legend of old lives in undying example of Teutonic chivalry and heroism, so will the Hitler legend, the ultimate apothoesis of German religious revelation, inspire this and future generations of A r y a n mankind After the setback of the 11th century, in wh'ch a re'urn vas made to Latin in German literature, the period 1050-1350 was somevhat tentative. This period is notewor.hy, however, for one of Germany's greatest sovereigns, Frederick Barbarossa, crowned at A i x - l a - Chapelle in 1152. The central years of his reign witnessed bitter quarrels with Pope Alexander III. The people were chained by religious asceticism, and the German soul languished in the prison which Romanism had constructed for its unhappy victims. This condition of spiritual emasculation continued more or less until the end of the 15th century, until the glorious age of Reformation. The Protestant Revolution, led by Martin Luther, was a turning-point for Germany, for Christendom, and for the whole world. T o early German mystics is owed much of the individual freedom of Protestantism. Notable among these early German thinkers and Truth-seekers are Meister Eckhart (1260-1327), Heinrich Suso (1300-66), and Johannes Tauler (1300-61). The Bible was translated into German, and one was printed at Strasbourg in 1466. M a r t i n Luther (1483-1546) was the great reformer who wrestled with the Papacy, and who set the German soul on the path to freedom. Luther was born at Eisleben in Saxony on 10 November, 1483. A t the age of 18 he went to study at the University of Erfurt, where he obtained the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. In 1508 Luther accepted the chair of philosophy at Wittenberg, but still retained the monastic connections which he had previously made In 1510 he went on a mission to Rome, where he was shocked at the prevailing corruption and infamy of the priesthood and higher orders. In 1517 Luther attacked the sale of indulgences to which the Papal treasury, needing new funds, had resorted. F r o m then on he devoted all his energies to the mission of Reformation which G o d had entrusted to him. In 1520 Luther addressed himself to the Christian nobles of Germany, making proposals for the complete reform of the Church. In January, 1521, the Papal B u l l of excom- munication was repeated against him. By 1529 the Re"orm.ation had gained many supporters, not only in Germany, but also in Denmark, Sweden, and Switzerland. The year 1530 produced the famous Augsburg Confession, presented in the name of the Pro'estant Party to the Diet at Augsburg, presided over bv the Emperor Charles V M a r t i n Luther died in February. 1546. James Gardner, in his book, " T h e Faiths of the W o r l d , " has described him as f o l l o w s : " Luther was one of the greatest and noblest heroes this world has ever seen, one who manfully defended the rights of conscie->ce. asserted the grand principles of civil and religious liberty, contended earnestly for the faith once delivered to the saints, and one of whom it mav well be said, many generations have arisen, and are yet destined to arise, who shall call him blessed." Luther's greatest literary work was the translation of the Bible (1522-34). He produced a work both German in spirit and in simple language, so as to be readily understood.

Having briefly traced the historical background to the rebirth of mankind which is being witnessed in the German Revelation, in the Life which finds its highest manifestation of Almighty G o d m A d o l f Hitler, we may now proceed to further chapters and further detail which will bring enlightenment to Truth-seekers. C H A P T E R 2. F O R M A T I O N O F T H E G E R M A N I C S O U L . Houston Stewart Chamberlain wrote at the end of the last century : '* In the want of a true religion that has sprung from, and is compatible with, our own individuality, 1 see the greatest danger for the future of the Teuton, . . . A race so profoundly and inwardly religious (as the Teutons) is unknown to history. . . The German stands apart and waits for a G o d to descend once more from heaven." Fichte, the German philosopher, had said in the previous century that one day the world would be healed by the German spirit. The G o d has indeed come down from heaven, and his Name is A d o l f Hitler. His Spirit, eternal and triumphant, marches on with and leads his disciples and followers throughout the world, in judgment and destruction of the old order, and in inspiration towards the building of the new world system. A Nationalist Socialist leader, Spaniol, speaking at Saarbruecken in January, 1935, said : " I do not believe that the Churches will continue to exist in their present form. In the future religion will be called National Socialism. Its prophet, its pope, its Jesus Christ, will be called A d o l f Hitler." W i t h a religion of their own, the Germanic peoples have a permanent and leading place in history. In the Struggle and Achieve- of A d o l f Hitler has the A r y a n race ascended to the first place in the history and leadership of mankind. In 1943 Hitler declared : " This war will see not the end of A r y a n humanity, but of Jewish power in Europe. Our world of ideas will become the common property of all peoples, even of our enemies, through this struggle." N o w today the yearning for a truly German revelation and religion finds fulfilment in a Witness which has already been declared to the world by disciples of the Hitlerian Religious Order—a Witness which records the IDivine Mission of A d o l f Hitler, God's Chosen W o r l d Leader. It is in His Pattern that the world will be rebuilt after the collapse of Britannic-Jewish civilisation. Recorded also rre the revelations of Hitler's Divinity which have been made in the Spirit to chosen men and women throughout the world. F o r verily is National Socialism the Spirit of G o d in action ; and to A d o l f Hitler, God's Chosen, is given all power in heaven and earth, with the conquest of the last enemy, death. " M y spirit will rise from the grave, and the world will see T was right " So declared A d o l f Hitler. " A peoole is iudged by its leader." wrote 19th centurv Heinrich von Treitschke. So will Eternal Germany always be judged by him to whom all Aryans will r a v homage as the greatest man from G o d of all the ages. It is for him that generations of Teutonic peoples 11 have awaited, as liicir Suvioui and Redeemer, the fulfilment of the Race-Soul of Germanism. By his Sacrifice He has set the seal for ull time on German n o l M t i t y , in the struggle which, as He describes It in his H o l y Testament, " will one day pass into history as the most gionous and heroic manitcsiaiion of the struggle of a people and race tor its existence." So in A d o l f Hitler do wc sec not only the fulfilment of centuries of German striving Ifwaids religious awakening and the for.mation of a matured soul, out aisu ihe evact fulfilment of Hitlefs own prophecy of 1934. He then said ; ' ' A t the time of supreme peril 1 must die a rriaityr"s death for the people. But after niy death will come some- thing really great, an overwhelming revelation to the world of my miss'ion." i h o Witness to his divinity, of his U n i o n with Almighty G o d , is the " overwhelming revelation " of which He spoke, and to which the Testimony is added in the following chapters of this Book. Alongside the more generally understooti aspects of P a n - Germanism and National Socialism, such as the racial theory and herrenvolk " idea, with the aim of world hegemony, there has always been the striving towards a fundamentally German religion. In his •vork, " Genrianien und Europa," which Arndt wrote in 1802. he prayed for a united Greater Germany, and for a deliverer who would he God-sent to Germany. In A d o l f Hitler not only d i d Germany find her Unifier and Saviour, but also the God-sent Leader who delivered the whole wor'd from the satanic grip of M a m m o n , the wstem of Iniernational Jewish hi'nance. in 1910 .Phiiip Kerr (who later became L o r d Lothian) wrote: " The Bismarckian'ideal . . . has permeated the whole nation, so hat lodav It is the unalterable conviction, deep in the hearts of the ceop'e. that if is their destiny to become the first power of the world. . . . The Germans will never surrender Germanism, for they are deter- mined ;o stand beside the Greeks and Romans, and perhaps the Anglo-Saxons in their palmy days, as one of the peoples who have vviough' th.eir mark on the history of all time." Rudolf Binding, poet, wrote in 1915. " I think it might be put in one wor.i ; > relJc^on of military strength (Wehrhaftigheit). . . . This would give ;;s. a"'!j the world which would adopt our religion, such \<iKi rower voi thousands of years to come . . that no nation, and , i o ;>;<;.,ice of nations, would be equal to us."' [he Scottish Thomas Car'yle (1795-1881). who >vas an mferpreter of Ciernian 'bought to the English-speaking world, regarded as a p r e c u r s o r of National Socialist ideals, was alwavs an advocate of the rlosr-:i .Ang!o-tierman understanding, and declared his hope that " n.ndie, natient. deep, pious, and solid Ciermanv should a* length^^be w c ' d c ! logether into a nation and become Queen of the Continent." Alfred Rosenberg, philosopher of the Movement, said of N.'iJor.al Socialism iha! '"a new faith is awakening : the myth of the 12 biood, the faith of defending with the blood the divine essence of man as weii ; tlie faith embodied in t^he clearest awareness that Nordic blood represents the inysiery that has replaced and overcome the old saera.ments." Rrofessor Ernst Bergmann, of Leipzig University, shares the honour with Rosenberg of having his literary work on the Pope's index of Forbidden Books. In his main work, " A National Socialist Philosophy of Culture," he endorses Hitler's belief that a new type of mankind is being developed and religiously inspired in Germany. Hitler said, " M a n is G o d in the making." The Fmehrer also spoke of those who rejected the A r y a n Gospel descending below the animal level. " A l l creative energy will pass to the new man," he declared. In the closing years of the last century Bismarck opposed the FaDai .See. and the " K u l t u r k a m p f " was joined. N o r d i c A r y a n religion shows the world not only a political idea, but magnificent masculine strength and will-power, in the framework of a racial concept of society. Emphasising the development of the German Idea as Religion, Bergmann asked, " H o w can a nation obtain leadership, when the H o l y Places of its Rehgion do not he in its own country ? "When it (s compelled to venerate a holy sepulchre in a far-off land ? " Today Germany has her Shrines and H o l y Places, to which A r y a n pilgrims from all over the world w i l l journey. Berchtesgaden will be honoured, as the Name of A d o l f Hitler is honoured, eternally. Germany, Hitler's Germany, has made her Place forever secure in the world so that in matters spiritual and religious, no less than in racial culture and politics, her example is the paUern which will be followed oy all the nations of the regeneration or resurrection. Numerous quotations may be adduced to illustrate the soul- contcnt of Germanic striving. Thus we read the " Profession of Faith " of the " German Faith Movement " of September. 1934 : " 1 believe in the Holy German People inside and outside the German frontiers. I believe in A d o l f Hitler, who. by the Grace of G o d , was sent to give the German people faith i n itself once more." Then we have the pronouncements of Hans K e r r l , who was Reich .Minister for C h u r c h Affairs in 1935. He s a i d : " A d o l f Hitler gave us back our fa!*h. He showed us the true meaning of religion. He has come to renew for us the, faith of our fathers and to make us new and better beings. . . . Just as Jesus Christ made his twelve apostles into a band faithful to the martyr's death whose faith shook the Roman Empire, so now we witness the same spectacle again : A d o l f Hitler is the true H o l v Ghost." This ape is destined to show the world an essentially Germanic faith, based upon blood and race. This faith cannot be called Christian in the accepted sense ; but it is certainly Christian in the 13 real sense. Through the influence of the Jew and the Churches, professing Christianity but seldom practising it, the original Gospel of the dynamic and anti-Semitic and A r y a n Jesus has been vitiated and twisted out of all recognition. The German mission and destiny has been to revitalise the Nordic and A r y a n soul, to reawaken the deepest religious instincts which proceed from pure blood and race. A n aggressive virility is espoused by the Germanic man rather than the pity-ethic and pacifism of pseudo-Christianity. In practice the Churches have never lived up to their own professed principles, the orinciples of the Sermon on the Mount. Countless wars have been fought, promoted by the Christian Churches, in which Sword and Cross have been blasphemously joined, with Jewish Money Power in control behind the scenes. Priestcraft represents a creed of hypocrisy, since the clerics have not only degenerated the Gospel of Christ, but proven themselves false also to their own interpretation of the Gospel Thev have made their wars and waxed aggressive, albeit with the sacrifice and blood of others, in the cause of M a m m o n rather than of Christ. They have served the Jew and his money-god rather than the eternal G o d of true Christendom. The revolt ot the German soul, therefore, was first against enslave- ment, both spiritual and material, to Judaism, against a Christianity which had in fact become more Jewish than Christian. Germany was the nation which, being worthy, was ordained of G o d to receive the Kingdom, as foretold in the N e w Testament of Jesu.s. Germany, in National Socialism, was chosen to fight against and execute the Judgment on International Jewish Finance or M a m m o n . A d o l f Hitler always declared, " First I believe i n Almighty G o d . " and " I solemnly declare that Almightv G o d ' h a s chosen me for this task." His one enemy was " International Jewish Finance." He declared this "ime and time again. Despite all the transient appearances of the past five years, victory today, both material and spiritual, is seen to be with A d o l f Hitler and with the vibrant A r y a n faith to which men and women all over the world are adhering. It is this faith which will survive the present ideological struggle, and which is destined to lead the world forward to a hitjher civilisation after the collapse of the Jewish-Britannic order. A d o l f Hitler declared, " National Socialism is even more than a religion. It is th^ will to make mankind anew." In National Socialism the German soul found its essential unity, with political and economic state-forms, the expression of a creative religion in full racial and community life, towards which generations of Arvans had striven and struggled- Here was the U n i o n of Heaven and Earth, the ioining of Spirit and Flesh, in a Oneness which made a transcendent reality of Germany, a veritable K i n g d o m of G o d on Earth. National Socialist Germany became the pattern of the peaceful solution of political problems and economic difficulties to the whole world. Such solutions were the result of spiritual integra- tion in Germany, of the awakening and formation of the mature Germanic soul. A d o l f Hitler, God's Chosen Leader, has securely laid the Foundations of the N e w Order, and given the Example which will inspire the rebirth and rebuilding of the world. Above all we must recognise the religious and spiritual character of National Socialism- N o creed has been able to inspire such devotion and loyalty, such courage and endurance, as National Socialism—-not since the days of the early Christian martyrs. Hitlerism, the vital A r y a n faith, is essentially a religion for the peoples ot Northern Europe, for N o r d i c men and women, wTiether inside or outside Europe. Nevertheless, this philosophy w i l l extend to the whole globe, in the new Reformation and Renaissance that presses forward to its preordained goal. The Germanic Message is for all mankind. Nordic man, with whom walks eternally the Spirit of A d o l f Hitler, stands on the R o c k of the Redeeming Blood of his Race. Race is Religion, and in God's Chosen Race, the A r y a n peoples, will be illumined the Path for all mankind. It is for this Culmination, for the Supreme Manifestation of G o d to the world, for the German Revelation. Eternal Hitler, that the German soul has hungered and thirsted. A d o l f Hitler is the " Light to lighten the Gentiles " promised in the N e w Testament of Jesus Christ, and the Germanic pattern shall guide the Aryans to all Eternity. Through A d o l f Hitler has Almightv G o d made of the Aryans, who have survived their God-given 'ests. the Lords of the Earth. A l l hail to God's Christ and Chosen. A d o l f Hitler. N o w is the German soul filled with spiritual comfort and sustenance. Sure of its mission and destiny, accomplished in the W i l l of G o d in A d o l f Hitler, the Germanic race rises now in new strength and vigour to win the moral and spiritual leadership of all mankind Let Teutonic might grow to its appointed power and world- leadership. Might is Right when it is God's Might and D o m i n i o n A l l hail to God's H o l y Land. Eternal Germania, and to the greatest leader of the A r y a n race. Leader of Leaders, L o r d of Lords, and K i n g of Kings, the Eternal A d o l f Hitler. H e i l Hitler ! 15 C H A P T E R 3. A D O L F H I T L E R — T H E G E R M A N R E V E L A T I O N .
