- I am not worthy to speak out loud of Adolf Hitler, nor do his life and deeds call for sentimental emotions. He was a warrior, a warrior for mankind, and a prophet of the gospel of justice for all nations. He was a reformer of the highest sort, and his historical destiny was that he lived in a time of incomparable cruelty, which came to overthrow him in the end. Thus the average Western European may look at Adolf Hitler. And we, his dear followers, bow our heads at his death.

- And love became the worlds origin and the worlds ruler, yet litterd its path is with flowers and blood, flowers and blood.
