This is the most provocative segment at the end of the documentary. 34 years is the year that Hitler completed control of the country. After the purge of the SA and the death of Hindenburg to become the Führer, Hitler urgently needed to consolidate his absolute authority in the party through this congress. Therefore, its incitement is unprecedented.

"The sixth day of the party congress is coming to an end. These six days are like a declaration of political power. It means more to the millions of German people outside our ranks, and to millions of fighters.

At the congress , veteran soldiers and comrades who grew up in the struggle, meet each other and exchange feelings, maybe some of you do not like this kind of formal meeting between party comrades. A National Socialist, fighting in the most difficult of times.

When I had only seven members, she already had two principles of her own: first, she would be a purely ideological party; second, she Will be the one and only force of Germany without any negotiation. We must keep the minority, because it is never the majority but the minority who make the most valuable struggles and sacrifices for the country People, because the truth is always in the hands of a few people. At the same time, because these people are the best people of the German race, they can proudly claim the leadership of the country and the people, and the German people should consciously obey the leadership of these people!

The German people are very happy to learn that they will never have to go through a change of regime again, that the National Socialist Workers Party is the backbone of Germany, and that those in Germany who consider themselves to be shedding noble blood and who use it purposefully to gain strength will never Will give up! There will always be a part of humanity willing to come forward and fight, and from them we see not only oaths like "I believe", but declarations like "I fight". The
party at any time All will be the leader of the German people, and she will be a school with her steely organization, flexible tactics and organization, like a "command of God" for political leaders. Will see, one day , all Germans who can stand up will become members of National Socialism, the elite of which are you, the Nazis!

Time and time again our enemies persecuted us, making us sad. But their persecution has eliminated those who are greedy for life and fear of death. Today we must examine ourselves and weed out bad elements from among us. They do not belong to our ranks!

I hope and pray that nations and empires will be immortal for millennia and we will be happy to know that the future is ours!

When the old generation falls to the ground, the young people will grow up. Only by devoting themselves to the party and becoming the embodiment of the ideal of National Socialism can they become the indestructible and eternal backbone of the German Empire.

By that time our glorious, laudable army, old and glorious, the man who bears the burden of our people, equally rich in tradition, will be a staunch supporter of the political leadership of the party, the Nazi party and the army equally charged with educating Germany. The responsibilities of the people increased the burden on their shoulders, the German state, the German Empire.

At this moment, thousands of comrades have left the city, many of whom will remember this congress and await the next review. The people who came to this conference will be attentive and infected with the vitality and ideas of the people, which is the eternal symbol of our movement!

Long live the National Socialist Movement!

Long Live Germany! "


There will always be some people in the human race who are willing to stand up and fight, and from them we see not only oaths like "I believe" but also declarations like "I fight". "This is perhaps the most incendiary war cry!
