Without considering what interests they were serving several so-called 'national' men, parties and leagues, joined in the general cry, simply for fear of public opinion which had been excited by the Jews, and foolishly contributed to help in the struggle against a system which we Germans ought, particularly in these days, to consider as the one ray of light in this distracted world. While the international Jew is slowly but surely strangling us, our so- called patriots vociferate against a man and his system which have had the courage to liberate themselves from the shackles of Jewish freemasonry, at least in one quarter of the globe, and to set the forces of national resistance against the international world poison.But weak characters were tempted to set their sails according to the direction of the wind and to capitulate before the storm of public opinion- for it was truly a capitulation.Even if people are so much in the habit of lying and so morally base that they do not admit it even to themselves, the truth remains that only cowardice and fear of the public feeling aroused by the Jews induced certain people to join in the hue and cry.All the other reasons put forward were only the miserable excuses of paltry culprits who were conscious of their own crime.Then it was necessary to grasp the rudder with an iron hand and turn the Movement about, so as to save it from a course that would have set it on the rocks.

In his favorite room, sitting next to a Yule tree, no doubt given to him by the village children, Hitler, dressed in a checked jacket made of pure Bavarian wool, sometimes leafs through the large folios of his friend Rosenberg with a somewhat skeptical expression.
