Do not forget that every people reserves the regime they are willing to endure -1st
After all, an end to terror is preferable to terror without end -2nd
Our present 'state' is the dictatorship of evil -3rd
Every word that comes from Hitler's mouth is a lie -4th
The imperialist ideology of force must be shattered for all time -Resistence
They look to us to break the National Socialist terror through the power of the spirit -Final

SPIRITS: Though he who has boldly risen from the abyss Through an iron will and cunning May conquer half the world, Yet to the abyss he must return. Already a terrible fear has seized him; In vain he will resist! And all who still stand with him Must perish in his fall
HOPE: Now I find my good men Are gathered in the night, To wait insilence, not to sleep. And the glorious word of liberty They whisper and murmur, Till in unaccustomed strangeness, On the steps of our temple Once again in delight they cry: Freedom! Freedom!

But what are the German people doing? They will not see and will not listen. Blindly they follow their seducers into ruin. Victory at any price! is inscribed on their banner. "I will fight to the last man,"says Hitler-but in the meantime the war has already been lost.
