It bothers us not in the least that our enemies abroad claim that our total war measures resemble those of Bolshevism....The question is not whether the methods are good or bad, but whether they are successful. The National Socialist government is ready to use every means. We do not care if anyone objects....We do not need to imitate Bolshevist methods, because we have better people and leaders, which gives us a great advantage. But things have shown that we must do much more than we have done so far to turn the war in the East decisively in our favor....

I speak first to the world, and proclaim three theses regarding our fight against the Bolshevist danger in the East.

That is a direct threat to the existence of every European power. No one should believe that Bolshevism would stop at the borders of the Reich, were it to be victorious. The goal of its aggressive policies and wars is the Bolshevization of every land and people in the world. In the face of such undeniable intentions, we are not impressed by paper declarations from the [[Kremlin]] or guarantees from [[London]] or [[Washington, D.C.|Washington]]. We know that we are dealing in the East with an infernal political devilishness that does not recognize the norms governing relations between people and nations. When for example the English [[Lord Beaverbrook]] says that Europe must be given over to the [[Soviet]]s or when the leading American Jewish journalist Brown cynically adds that a Bolshevization of Europe might solve all of the continent’s problems, we know what they have in mind. The European powers are facing the most critical question. [[The West]] is in danger. It makes no difference whether or not their governments and intellectuals realize it or not....

Are you ready to follow the Führer as the phalanx of the homeland, standing behind the fighting army and to wage war with wild determination through all the turns of fate until victory is ours?...
