Triumph of the Will (Triumph des Willens)

I open the Congress of the Sixth Party Day...

in respectful public memory of...

General Field Marshal and Reich President von Hindenburg...

who has passed into eternity.

The General Field Marshal

is remembered as the first soldier of the Great War,

and thoughts as well to our fallen comrades.

I greet the high representatives of foreign states...

who by their presence are participating in this day for their political parties.

In sincere friendship, the greeting of the Movement is extended...

especially to the representatives of the Armed Forces here...

now under the command of the Fuhrer!

My Fuhrer:

Around you stand the flags and standards

of National Socialism.

Only when they are threadbare,

will the people be able to understand,

in hindsight, the greatness of our time,

because of what you, my Fuhrer, mean to Germany!

You are Germany!

When you act, the Nation acts.

When you judge, the People judge.

Our thanks is the vow to stand with you...

in good days and bad...

come what may!

Thanks to your leadership,

Germany will be attainable as the homeland.

Homeland for all Germans in the world.

To us, you were the guarantor of victory.

To us, you are the guarantor of peace!

Adolf Hitler! Hail victory!

Hail victory! Hail victory!

No revolution that seems to be permanent...

can lead to anything other than complete anarchy.

So the world will not live at war.

So also the People do not live on revolution.

Nothing on this Earth that has lasted for thousands of years...

was assembled in mere decades.

The largest tree also has the longest period of growth.

What braves the centuries...

will also be strong through the centuries.

It is our unshakable belief in ourselves...

that is our hope for the youth...

to carry on the work which has been put

before them in the stormy years...

of the revolt of 1918 in Munich...

and which is already part of the entire German nation's history.

Truth is the foundation...

on which the power of the press stands in the world.

And that it reports the truth about Germany...

is the only demand that we place on the foreign press.

As I speak, work on the Reich Autobahn has begun at 51 locations.

Although this work is in its early stage...

today there are already 52,000 men on the job...

and another 100,000...

engaged in the work of allied industries.

Wherever we look, all around there is building...

and new creations...

and activity and life...

which will continue into the future.

Maintaining the health of our farmers is the primary foundation...

for the prosperity of industry...

for German business and for foreign exports.

A people that does not protect the purity of its race goes to seed!

All our work must be dictated by a single thought... -

that the German worker...

be made an upright, proud and equally entitled national comrade.

As the Leader of the German legal service...

I can say that, clearly, the basis of the National Socialist State...

is the National Socialist Law Code.

And for us, our highest Leader is also the highest judge!

We know how sacred the principles

of these laws are to our Fuhrer.

These Reich laws can assure you, national comrades...

that your life and existence are safe...

in this National Socialist State of order, freedom, and law.

May the bright flame of our enthusiasm never be extinguished.

It alone gives light and warmth...

to the creative art of modern political propaganda.

This comes from the depths of the people...

and from these depths of the people...

it must always again find its roots and its strength.

It may be good to possess power based on strength...

but it is better to win

and hold the heart of a people.

Today, the German people are spiritually and soulfully ready...

to undertake their obligation in the National Labor Service.

We have the Fuhrer's orders!

My Fuhrer:

I wish to present 52,000 RAD men for your inspection.

Hail, Men of the Labor Service!

Hail, my Fuhrer!

Shoulder spades!

Spades at ease!

Here we stand.

We are ready...

to carry Germany into a new era.

Germany!

Comrade, where do you come from?

From Friesenland.

And you, comrade?

From Bavaria.

And you?

From Kaiserstuhl.

- And you? - From Pomerania.

And from Konigsberg.

From Silesia.

From the seacoast.

From the Black Forest.

- From Dresden. - From the Danube.

- From the Rhein. - And from the Saar.

One People!

One Leader!

One Reich!

Germany!

Today we work together...

in the swamp.

We work in the swamp.

And in the sand.

We dam the North Sea.

We plant trees.

We build roads...

from town to town, and city to city.

We provide farmers with new soils...

forests and fields, land and bread...

for Germany.

We didn't stand in the trenches.

Nor were we under the shell fire of grenades...

and still, we are soldiers.

- Sharpen the hammers... - Axes!

- Pick axes! - And spades!

We are the Reich's young manhood!

As once at Langemarck...

at Tannenberg...

before Luttich (Liege)...

before Verdun...

on the Somme...

in Flanders...

in the West...

in the East...

in the South...

on land, on water, and in the air.

Comrades, who were shot by the Red Front and reactionaries...

you are not dead!

You live in Germany!

My Labor Service men.

For the first time you are presented for review in this forum...

before me and before the German people.

You represent a great idea...

and we know that for millions of our national comrades...

physical labor will no longer be a divisive concept.

But it will instead bind us together. And, furthermore...

no longer will it be the case in Germany...

that physical labor will be seen as anything less...

than any other work.

The whole nation passes through your school.

The time will come when no German...

can be admitted into the community of the people...

until he has first become a member of your community.

And you know that today you are not only being seen...

by the hundreds of thousands in Nuremberg, but by all of Germany...

which also sees you here for the first time today.

And I know that just as you serve...

this Germany proudly...

today with proud joy all of Germany will see its sons marching in you!

Hail victory! Hail victory! Hail victory!

Comrades.

Many of you here tonight knew me...

as an SA man...

marching in the rank and file...

in the first years of the Movement.

And party comrades, just as I was an SA man then...

so I am still an SA man today!

We SA workers will always be true

only to the Fuhrer...

and fight for the Fuhrer.

My Fuhrer!

My comrades!

We live again for this hour

which makes us proud and happy.

According to your command, my Fuhrer, a youth stands here...

a youth that knows neither class nor caste.

The young generation of our people follows after you.

Just as you demonstrate

the highest self-sacrifice in this nation...

so does this youth wish to be selfless.

Because you embody the concept of fidelity for us...

therefore we wish to be faithful.

Adolf Hitler, the Leader of German Youth, attention!

My German Youth.

After one year, I can greet you again here.

You standing here today represent something...

that is happening all over Germany.

And we want you, German boys and girls...

to absorb everything that we wish for Germany.

We want to be one people...

and through you, to become this people.

We want a society without class or rank.

And you must not allow these ideas to grow within you.

We want to see one Reich!
