The fact. that the phenomenon of Bolshevism as represented

by the theory of Murx and put into practice by the Russian

Soviet Slate is still engaging the attention of political circles

in \\'estern Europe. as a theoretical phenomenon and a

political reality which civilized people ought to take into

account intellectually as well as politically, shows that

lhere is a falal lack of insight into the nature and essential

structure of international Bolshevism, "'hal is called Bol-

shevisrn has nothing whatsoever to do with wha] we under-

stand by "ideas" and all "outlook on life" (Weltanschauung)

in general. It is nothing hut a pathological and criminal kind

of madness, devised hy Jews, as can wcIl be proved, and led

by Jews who aim at destroying the civilizcd nat ions of Europe

and at founding a Jewish·international world regime that

would subject all nations to their power.

Bolshevism could have had its ori~in only in the Jewish

brain and l lu- sterile a sphalt of the metropolis alone made

it possible for this thing 10 grow and sprcnd. It could onlybe

accepted hy J species of rnank ind Ih;11 had been morally and

economically shuttered by the war and the econornie crisis



which followed. On such people it was let loose and was

acceptable to them because its criminal and crazy doctrine

appealed to them.

Though superfluous, it may here once again be emphasized

that we National Socialists, in fighting this world peril as

mercilessly as we did from the very first hour of our po-

litical activity up to the present have not defended anti-

social ist or even pro-capitalist interests . Our struggle against

Bolshevism is no fight a g a ins t but in f a v0 Ur of Socialism.

Our altitude grew out of a deep conviction that a true and

genuine Socialism can only be realised if its lowest and most

ill-born offspring, Jewish Bolshevism, would have been

done away with. The fight against Bolshevism can only be

carried through to a successful issue by a people that has found

a new structure for its folk-life which is adequate to the dy-

namic values and standards of the Twentieth Century: a social ist

structure in a national form.

The bourgeois middle-classes of all nations have proved

to be impotent in dealing with Bolshevism and are unfitted

for the fight against it. They have not yet even gained a

clear insight into the principles which inspire and direct

Bolshevism. They lack the spiritual quality, the principled

conscience, political faith and moral slrens~t;t of character

that alone would enable them to face it. But not only do they

lack the necessary insighl- they Hen attempt to compromise

with Bolshevism whenever an opportunity arises, so 85 to"prevent an even greater evil". But every pact which the

bourgeois world contracts with radical Bolshevism will finally

lead to a victory of Bolshevism m-er the bourgeois world

because of the natural law according to which the stronger

will always prevail over the weaker.

Bolshevism has at least one very definite advantage over

.u other groups that bold polit ical power - excePtmc

,

those who face it with absolute and downright oppo-

sition, Itmobilises recklessly the lower grades of mankind

which exist among the dregs of every nation and are opposedto the State and the ideas which sustain it. It is the organi-

sation of till! lowest instincts ofa people aiming at the

destruction of all productive and valuable elements in a race,

It usuallv seizes upon a g-roup that holds political power

which is "based upon a brutish minority and which is deter-

mined 10 reach its final politlcal aim withunscrupulous and

criminal tactics.

But the Bolshevic readiness for tactical compromises must

not be taken as a willingness to compromise as far as their

principles arc concerned. At bottom, Bolshevism knows no

compromise, If it makes a compromise, that is only done for

one reason, i.e. to use it as a moans to seize unlimited power.

It does not hesitate to cut the throats of those who have

helped it to gain power after they have gained it. :Sot a very

al luring prospect for those bourgeois poli ticians of some of

the West-European states who still believe that the sting may

betaken from Bolshevism by the tamcr Front Populaire,

Bolshevism is the dictatorship of the inferior. It seizes

power by means of falsehoods, it maintains power by means

of Iorce. To be able to combat it, one must know it thoroughly

and one must have penetrated inlo its deepest secrets, The

more worthy forces of a nation have to be mohilized to ex-

terminate it , since it is the organisat ion of everything that mayhe called the anti-racial forces of the people.

There is one sphere in particular wherein Bolshevism has

shown its mastery, i.e_that of negative propaganda. It gains

a foothold among the nations by means of lies and hypocrisy.

It aims at presenting a garbled picture of thc nature and inner

form of this _political madness. Lenin, the Father of the

Bolshevist Revolution, stated frankly that falsehoodJ are



not only justified but have proved to be the mostelfective

tools in Bolshevist struggle. Schopenhauer bas said that

the Jews are masters of lies and, therefore. it is nosurprising fact that Bolshevism and Jewry here meet in close

kinship. Jewish Bolshevism is a past-master in the mani-

pulation of lies, Decent and truthful people are so stunned

by this method that they are incapable of offering inner

resistance. That is just what the Jewish Bolshevist s have been

aiming at, They speculate on the incapacity of the average

truthful person to imagine that it is even possible ,to lie

with such bold and brazen-faced nonchalanceas they lie.

It is possible to lie like Ihat. Bolshevism has shown it to

be possible and it has been succeeeful in surprising and

winning over many unsuspicious people. '

In accordance WIth the very nature o f Bolshevism, its pro-

paganda is international and aggressive. It aims at the.

radiealisation of all the nations of the, world to bring about

anarchy and Bolshevism. It has got tremendous supplies

of funds at its disposal which are unlimited because the

Bolshevie dictators unscrupulously starve the entire Russian

people in order to spend the money for this purpose. This

kind of propaganda is particulnrly : insidious for outside

countries because it is supported by the Communist parties

of those countries, i.e, by the respective foreign sect ions of

the Comintern, The communist parties outside of Russia are

nothing but foreign legions of the Com intern. Witl;l theirsupport, Bolshevism ergnnises and lays out ingenious. plans

of international sedition which are very difficult t o attack

because they have their roots in the political and national

life of the respective nations. It must be estimated as the

most threatening perillo a state 10 allow the existence of a

domestic party which takes its orders from the authorities

of a foreign count ry. Experience shoy ..! that ·countries where

8

a strong Communist party exists arc more or less subject to

the dictates of Stalin with regard to their Home- Social-

Economic- Military" and Foreign Policy. When concluding a .

treaty. one of the \Vestern European Great Powers bad, for

example. to jnake the request first that the Communist party

that exists on Its 0\\'0 soil should be ordered from Moscow to

stop undermining the army and vetoing the credits for milit·

ary purposes.

The Communist sections in the various countries are ordered

to prepare and to carry through the Bolshevist revolution.

They are supplied with abundant funds, unequaled anY"'bere

else, to carryon this ingenious propaganda for which

Moscow has laid out the model. This propaganda has

only one object and purpose. n aims at deceiving the other

nations as to the true nature of Bolshevism and either to pre-vent the leaking out of facts from Soviet Russia or to falsify

them. so that they lose thei r value as rel iable news. The reason

for such a policy is that the Soviet Union cannot allow the

truth about it s domest ic condi tions to be known. particularly

not in ,,"('sicrn Europe, with its more civilized and intel ligent

cit izens, The poison of the Bolshevist theory may be alluring

and enticing, but Bolshevism in practice is terrible and horror-

striking. Its way is marked by mountains of skeletons. An

ocean of blood and tears floods that unhappy tract. Human life

has. lost all value . . Terrorism. murder, bestiality - these are

the trails that characterize every Bolshevist revolution, whether

it be successful, as in Russia,or fail and be suppressed, as inHungary. Bavaria. the Ruhr district and Berlin, or still figh.

ting for power as is the case in Spain today.

When Bolshevism has gained control i t s tops worrying about

contradictions between theory and practice: carbines and

machine guns then hold the field, But anywhere else. outside of

ils home terri tory, it uses its ingeniously devised propaganda

7



machinery to deceive the world as to its own true nature.

Bourgeois people in Europe have not the slightest knowledge. of how these facts are preceding. They try to avaid a decision

by mouthing the same phrase over and over again, namely,

that nobody is allowed to interfere in the domestic affairs of a

foreign country. But what is a reality now in Russia, what is

fought for and against · J u Spain and what i s fatally preparing

its way in other European States - that is a matter of concern

for the whole world. It is no longer a problem that can be dealt

with by those who theorise about the various outlooks on life

(Weltanschauunsstheoretiker). it is rather.

matter of grave concern for statesmen aU over the world. They

will have to tackle this problem unless they wish to become

responsible for the future development which - because oftheir negligence - will push Europe into the most severe crisis

and eventually into ruin. The problem of Bolshevism as it faces,

Europe today is a question of to be or not 10 be. Here and

now the souls of men are ranged on the one side or the other.

A definite side will have to be taken either against or in favour

of Bolshevism and all consequences resulting therefrom will

have to be accepted. .

Another problem must be settled. The problem of the role

which Jcwry plays in relation to Bolshevism. Only in Gcrmany

c~n it be openly discussed, since it would be dangerous in

any, other country - as was also the case in Germany not

so many years ago - even 10 mention the Jewry by name,There can be no doubt that Jews are the founders of Bolshevism

and that it is they who represent it. The old leading class in

Russia has been so completely eliminated that no other leader-

ship group was left but the Jews. Every conflict within Belshe-

"ism is therefore more or less a family conflict among Jews,

The recent executions inMoscow, i.e. Ihe shooting of Jews by

Jews, can only be understood on motives of thi rst for power

and determination to destroy aU opponenls.Tbe belief that Jews

arc always at perfect harmony with one another is a widespread

error. They live in unity only ""hen they form a minority

that is kept ill 'control and menaced by :II large national major-

ity. In present-day Russia this is not the case any more. If

Jews have attained power - as they exclusively have done illl

Russia - the old Jewish rivalries begin again, which had been

kept in nbcvance bv the danger threatening their race.

Thc idea-underl):ing Bolshevism, i.e. the idea of unscrupulous

disintegration and destruction of decency and culture {or the

diabolic purpose of destroying the nations could have been

born only in the Jewish brain, just as Bolshevie practice, with .

all its horrifying cruel ty, is only possible when manipulated

by the Jews. In accordance with their nature these Jews do

not show their faces in the open. They work underground and,

in Western Europe they try to deny that they have ao)1bing

to do with Bolshevism. That is the way they have always

behaved and will behave in the future.

But we have found them out and, what is more, we are the

only people in Ihc ,world who have the courage to call the

attention of mankind to these capital criminals. We are not

afraid of any consequences and cal l them by their r ight Dame.

There was a time in Germany when anyone who called a Jew

a Jew was sent to prison. But in spite of thai we dared to do

it. Even today Ihe world wry often objects, with noble

restraint or even with well -staged moral disapproval , when

Jews are called Jews or l3ohh{'\'ists arc called capital crimi-

nals. But we are convinced thai we shall e\'entu311y succeed inopening the eyes of lhe world so as to make them see the true

face of Jewry and Bolshcvism just as well as we succeeded in

convincing Germany of the perilous parasitic character of

that race. In Ihe meantime we shall not lire of pointing to

this fatul danger and appealing to the attention of all the

people who are undergoing terrible crises and upheavals.

proclaiminl!:/"Tiie Jew. are to blame! The Jews are to blamel"

I•



This charge will be like a lash in the faces of the-Jews, disl~r -

ted as they are by. hate. It won't help them either if they try

~o adop~ the camouflage of democratic forms. That method is

Just a bi t too ingeoo.us to impress intelligent people. It is only

a r~se to catch :he Intellectual philistines. They welcome this

slogan because It enables them to fight shy of a decision. This

so.ca.lIed Bolshevist Democracy which some French and

English papers have suggestet as the prototype and counter-

~art of the so-called National Socialist Dictatorship. is engulfed

lD terror, blood and murder, Every few years the Bolshevist

despots prod~im this. moth· eaten slogan whenever they

feel t~e necessity of recommending themselves to Europe after

a period of brutal terrorism. Then suddenly canards are let

loose by U~eCom.mu.nist p~opaganda bureaus, empty promises

that a new ~onstJluhon wil l be introduced, that the universal

ba.llot etc. will be !;'I"antedto Russia But all th .esc pronuses are

.f:llselh)o~s, speculating upon the short memories and proverbial

mental .lDcr~ness of narrow-minded philistines. In reality

Bolshevism IS the crassest rule of blood and terror that the

world has ncr experienced. The Jews have planned it in order

to make it impossible for power to be taken out of their hands

and it is Jews who arc exercising it. We National Socialists.

to justify and consolidate our national power honourablv have

appealed 10 the .counlry again and again, almost year after year.

through general elect ions in which the laws of the secret ballot

are ~hserved. Bolshevism talks of People and the Country

of Workers and Peasants; but on its face is imprinted the

word For c ~"J ' .

Each person forms for himself a ce; tain idea of Bolshevism.

For the most part this idea is the product of his own brain.

Th~n propaganda comes to his aid. It s means of working forms

a picture of Bolshevism according to the mentality of a person

or a group of persons or of a nation. It is all art if ic ially

managed. There is no real basis of truth .iD it. It may easily

10

happen that representatives of a great country become en-

thusiastic about a new subway in Moscow, which would attract

no aUention whatsoever in another large city, Wben the Belshe-

vies welcome the stranger with the strains of his own nationalanthem these strangers, without any rational reason wba\-

SOC\'er,discard their former ideas about Bolshevism and make

friends with it. The Red Jews in Moscow know how to handle

their dupes. It is permissible to imagine how they mock and

ridicule the attitude of the bourgeois world that i s thus created,

Therefore they are very furious with us b~use we have

recognised them and are bent on shat tering to its very founda-

tions the picture of Bolshe\'ism that is widely prevalent in

'Europe, Their hate against us is illimitable. It is one of the

best and most honourable tributes to the character of our

pol itical struggle. We tear the mask from their faces and show

them to the world in their true appearance. .It has already been stated that the concept which various

people and nations for III of Bolshevism is a special outcome of

Bolshevic propaganda. A great part of the art of deception

consists, for instance, in making people believe that the Moscow

Gm'ernment has nothing at a n to do with the Comintern. That

is about the most baf('faced and 'brazen 'swindle that can be

imagined; hecause there is only a division of administration

bl. 'lw('en the Soviet Gon'rnment and the Com intern. But to

think that one is independent of the other ..... uld he like be-

Iicving that the National Socialist Movement has nothing to do

, .with Ihe Xational Socialist Go\-ernment.

Bolshcvistlc prop:lganda operates 90 a broad scale. I ts purposeis to bring the world 10 dest ruction. In foreign countries it

"Is mistakenly interpreted. These naive people who accept it

are generally the most naive of the naive. But they exist and

they have a certain effect of their own.

Bolshevism in practice is something different, There it

is; and you cannot deny wh:lt it does. In blood it has traced

11



its fearful march. Its inlenlion is to bring the whole world

inlo ils chaotic mess. It signifies the great attempt of Judaism

10 bring the nations under their own power. Therefore the

fight against this danger is, in the truest sense of the word,a world fight. Itwas begun in Germany and has been fought

out on German soil. Adolf Hitler is the historic leader in

this campaign. "-e arc 31 1 his representatives and therewith

we arc the apostles of a great historical mission. There can

never be a compromise between thc two extremes, Bolshevism

must be exterminated if Europe is to regain its normal slate

of health.

nut the Jcws know exactly 'what is about 10 happen. In

one of their last efforls they have striven to mobilize all the

forces of the world agalnst Germany. They want to st rengthen

their power by a feverish rush of armament. 'In National

Socialist Germany they see a constant' danger to their ownexistence. In Russia Judaism has established a home for

itself which they never thougt would be endangered. Up to

ninety-eight percent, it represents the new bourgeois class

among the Soviets - knaves, fati ings, dissemblers. int riguers

and plotters, back-slappers and frivolous people. These Jews

who have now attained high positions are able to exercise

their petty swindles, over a large-scale area, on 160 million

people. They arc ruthless tyrants, absolutely without prin-

ciple. They inflict themselves on the people like a universal

scourge, Ihe purpose of which is to spread catastrophe.

I have already bid stress on the fact that Bolshevist pro-

paganda is sufficienlly astute to adjust its teaching to itshearers. II can be radical or moderate to suit the occasion.

''"hen the terrori st , Dimitroff, speaks before the. Comintern

the attitude is different from that which Lilwinoff adopts

before the League of Nations. The Bolshevist propaganda

may he religlous or anti-religious 10 suit the circumstances.

It is ullerly without conscience and all means are justified

12

by the ends they serve. Allover the world this propaganda

has at its disposal a complex machinery which is made up

of the Communist sections in the various countries. It ~nly

needs to press a, button in order to put this machinery I n ! Ooperation. In every country it operates e~lher sccre.Uy or III

the open. Woe to the nation that allows It to f~~clton •. O~e

day that nation will be undermined by this sedlhous activity

and will be disrupted, mcrely because this phenomcnon has

not been seriously taken into account.

We National Socialists are in the bappy position that we

have no need to mince our words when we speak of Bol-

shevism. We do not speak the language of the secret cabinets;

We speak. the language of the people and, therefore, hope,

that the people or outside nations will undcrstand us. \Ve are

lucky cnouzh to be able to call things by their names; and

we feel bound to do so. For the world must have its eyes

opened, We cannot and we must not bc silent in face Of. thedunner that menaces Europe. It is incumbent on the nations

andJhclr Gover nmcnts to make their own decisions; but it

is the right and the duty of every individual. whom nature

has endowed with the gift of insight and thc power of self-

expression, to proclaim his opinions and cOD\·icli .ons, to point

the fill"er to forthcoming catastrophes and to voice the needs

'of the t'ttime. To dally with Bolshevism spells ultimate ruin.

Therefore we lake tile opportunity of tbis Party Congress

to rin.' the alnrnr :Igainst this world danger, I have taken

this ol:purtunilY of pointing out whal Bolshevism is in acl~al

practice. to unmask its teaching and therewith wc are hc~pmG

towards the understanding of the history of our own times,which has to be learned and must not be forgotten.

And now wc come to the point.

Thc Wesl-Europl':m worker is apt to consider the Soviet

Lriion as a proletarian Slate, i.e. as his State. He Ihinks

Ihat i ll Ru~ia the work. iuQ cla§lli~~ceded illeliminating the

(



Fahne" demanded in its electoral campaign: "Put a stop to the

increase of wages. wages han to be decreased. \Ve demand

the seven-hour working day, the forty-hour week and ad-

justed wages."

Bu t how is the situation in Soviet Russia? The price of bread

rose from 9 to 75 Kopeks per kilogramm within the years

between 1028 and 1n5. The monthly v,'age of a Sovietworker,

has fallen 78.5 percent measured by the quantilyof bread

which the worker can buy. If the Russian worker wants to

earn enought to live he has to work according to tbe Stacbanoff

system which has raised the Dorm so much above the average

that the mass of workers can never reach il The result is that

the average Russian worker gets lower ' . .. .ges.

In 1':)32 the "Rote Fahne" published a report on the housing

conditions, which had been sent in by a comrade working in

[he Soviet Union, lie wrote that be had two large rooms for

himself, with electricity and central beating.

And now a true picture of real ity: A working woman writes

in "Lcningradskaja Prawda", a Communist paper, "We, that

is Imvsclf arul mv lillie boy, who is a year-and-a-half old, my

hroth~r and 1l1\" ~istcr who suffers from tuberculosis, live in

one small and dark room. 0 .... complaints brought before the

Communist municlpul commission have been fruitless. \Ye are

still lidn~ as ht'fore in these unbelievable conditions."

The Ilussi.m worker has to spend for his simple food which

consists onlv ef bread, cabbage soup and gruel, not less Ulan

75 percent of his 'tolal income. He would have to spend twicethe amount of the average wage to attain the standard of living

which the German worker bas.

A well-known Bolshevist slogan promises the {"Stablishment

.. r the free right to work. On June 20, IU32 the "Rote Fabne"

wrote "Look to" 'prds M 0 5 C ( O W . Leningrad, Baku, Nowosibirsk

capitalistic exploiters and in establishing tbe dictatorship

of the proletariat, where the free workers are now bui lding

up a State of their own, the "Fatherland of the Working

People".But Jews, like David Ricardo 'or Mars.-Mardochay, have

been the originators of the 1IIarxist teaching; and Jews, like

Lassalle, Wolfssohn, Adler, Liebknecht, Luxemburg, Levi etc .

have organised all labour movements. From their safe

editorial chairs, Jews have urged the workers to the barri-

cades, Jews, like Paul Singer. Schiff. Kohn etc. were the

financieis of ~Iarl:ist Bolshevism.

The Soviet Government has been and still is almost com-

pletely composed of Jews. Not one worker belongs to the

governing body, Almost all of the Bolshevist leaders who

have been recenlly shot in Moscow were Jews. There

was not one worker among them. The Triumvirate, whichrose as the victorious group out of this inter-Jewish conflict

and which now holds dictatorship over the Soviet Union, is

composed of: -

Hers c h e (. J e hu d a (Jago d a), He ado f the

OGPU

L a 1 a r u s :" 10 Se s so h n K a san 0 wit s c h, Father-

in-law of Stalin and Commissary for Transport

F j n k e 1st e in· Lit win 0ff, Commissary for For.

elgn Affairs.

all of whom are Jew s who came from the Ghetto.

The Government of the Soviet Union is not the dictatorshipof the proletariat hut tlie dictatorship of Jewry over aU therest of the population.

TIle pol i tic II I agitation of Bolshevism is equaled by its

demagogieal propaganda in the e e 0 nom ie sphere. They

proclaim that the worker leads a sort of paradisic:allife in the

So"iel UnioD. As late as April, 1932. the Dewspaper "Rote

14



and know: work, bread and liberty can only be attained if we

fight and follow the example of the Bolshiviki."

The way in which the Soviet workers are urged to work by

the Stachanoff system may rightly be called slavery. But the

Soviet Union even re-introduced slavery in the verbal meaning

of the word. About six-and-a-half million people who work in

the forced labour camps ofthe Soviet Union are l iving in a slate

of hell-on-earth. In three hundred giant Iorced-labour camps,

Bolshevism is squeezing the lost ounce of work and energy

out of these workers. Some hundred thousands of people had

to be burried when the Stalin-Caspian Channel was built by

forced-labour gangs, The following Jewish. leaders of the

OGPU forced the Channel to be built in such murderous speed:

Herrselrcl Jagoda, Davidsohn, Kwasnitzki, Isaaksohn, Rotten-

berg, Ginsburg, Brodski, Bercnsohn, Dorfmann, Kagner, Angert

and others, Judaism flourishes the whip over the "Fatherland

of the Proletariat."

Bolshevist propaganda boasts of having freed the working

class among the peasants from the claws of capitalistic ex-

ploitation. To allure the innocent peasants and to get their

confidence, Bolshevism founded the "Peasants' international".

In its programme we find the following proclamation: "We

demand that the burden of taxes be lifted from the middle-

class of the peasants. that their taxes be decreased, we demand

the cxproprtation of the large estates, which shall be made

available free of charge for the sons of the peasants who till

the 50i1."

Let us have a look at the situation as it exists in reality I The

-granaries of Soviet-Russia, which fofmerly helped to supply

"·estern Europe with the necessary cereals, are no longer in a

position to feed their own population. Millions of people are

starving. A hitler war is being waged betw-een the terroristic

apparatus of Ihe OGPU and the peasants. The Jews Kagano-

...·itscb, Jadoga and Baumann, enforced a radical collectivisation

16

on the peassants which simply killed more than 15 llliUioD

peasants and members of peasantfamilies. . .The main achievement of the peasant policy carried out by

the Bolshevists i s the terrorist ic law of August 7, 1932, which,

for any kind of' "wrong" committed by a peasant enacts thedeath penalty, ten years of hard labour or forc~d labo~ sen-

tences. Judeo-Bolshevism even abuses the relation of child to

parent in applying this law. "Iswestia" reports, 'on May 28,

1934 how a girl denounced her father, who had kept

back' grain that had been commissioned by the collective.

Coder the terror law her father was subject to the death

penal ty. The child received of ficial congratulat ion fo~ her act.

In pre.~ational Socialist Germany the Communist Party

put forward the following demands in their ~rosramme for t~e

soldiers; Point 12: Abolit ion of all undesirable persons m

command. Point 20: Annulment of the order to live in bar-

racks. "Emancipation from blind Obedience" and the "Demo-

cratisation of the Army" were the slogans.

Compulsory mobilization of the workpeople was introduced

forthwith after the Bolshevist dictatorship had been set up.

Those who did not obey the order were shot or sent to the

blood dungeons of the Tscheka. Instead of the voluntary

people's militia, there was central authori.tarian co~mand,

iron proletarian discipline, the forced conscripts were interned

in barracks and the strictest laws. courts-martial were set up.

From the "Comrade Commandants" the whole army aristocracy

was chosen. including lieutenants, captains etc. up to the

red marshals. The Soviet Jew, Hahinowilsch, cynically

~dmilted that the simulated "democratisation" of the army

was "only a ruse to gain conlrol of the army".

Another Bolshevist slogan, which is widely believed, is the

"Emancipation of Woman". The pretension is that the

woman must be freed from the'oomeslic yoke and placed on

an equal (oolinS with the ~n. In the year 1924 the Comin-

1'1



(I'

tern Congress explicitly stated' "The revol Ii .a I I' . U ion as powerlesss ong n~ t ie fnn~ll! and family conditions rema in," But in .

the pructical uumlOlstration of the SOV1'et Uni th. " . Ion e actual

way o~ tIllS. highly vaunted "Emancipation of Woman"shows Itself In the fact that, without having the right to

appeal for protection. women are forced to submit and

surrender themselves to the arbitrary demands of the men

and they_ have. to earn their livelihood by heavy manual

labour .. Even In the labour-camps, which have the worst

reputation, there are more than one million women.

, Furthermore Bolshevist propaganda asserts that the woman

IS .released from the burden of having to look after h

children. Th~s task is taken over by the Soviet State itse~:

At the same time the official party press is forced to acknow-

ledge. that the army of waifs and youthful criminals is

steadl~Y on t1~e increuse. A special and influent ial appeal in

the S) sl.em 01 Bolshevist propaganda is the demand for the

abrogation of the legal veto against abortion The p rof abor lion, which wcnl on without hindranc'e f .rs,Ctlce, I b or elg 1 een).e.ars, las .econ~e so prevalent that the SOviets would nowlike to forbid this praclice of abortion.

example of how the bemused polit ic ians ofWestern liberalism

may be allured by Sovlet propaganda. On this po-int the

Jewish New York' paper "Forward", which certainly cannot

be suspected of pro-Naa! leanings, declared as .foUows:

"On the day prceeeding the arrival of the delegation the

whole population of Kiew was mobilized at two o'eleek ~n

the night, to clean the main streets. Ten thousand hands

worked fcn!rishly to give an European aspect to the neglected

and filthy town. AU relief centres, cooperat ive stores were

closed. Queues 'were forbidden, The imposing army of waifs,

beggars and starvelings 'were all removed, Militiamen on

highly groomed horses strutted at the street crossings, manes

of their horses entwined wlth white ribbons - a picturewhich Kiew saw never before, or after" (Ihi& is a retranslation).

One of the great parade pieces from the arsenal of

Bolshevist propaganda is the claim for the abolit ion of the

army. the demand for "allround and complete" disarmamenL

The K.P.D. (German Communist Party), under the slogan "Ko

more \Yar""Forward with the fight against armament",

for instance, demanded a plebiscite 00 lhe following propo-

sition:"The construction of drC'adooughts and cruisers of aU kinds

is forbidden." And in February, 1932, the Jew, Finkelstein-

Litwinoff, took oceasion, at one of the innumerable Geneva

Conferences, to champien before the world the principle of

"complete dlsarmament", Up to the present no change hal

taken place in these methods of deception. This statement is

c,orroDoraledby the

dcclaratlon which the same Litwlnoffmade last July, when he said that the "complete disarmament"

.was :l "maximal guarantee" of peace. -

That's Bolshevist propaganda. LAnd what is the reality? The peace strength of the Red

Army amounts to t......nlillions, by reason of the lowering of

the age limi t of those l iable for military service. But to this we

I t



must add the trained reserves, which number from nine to

len mil lions. In case of war therefore they could mobi lize eleven

millions; and, within a pract ical period of t ime, even fourteen

millions.

Should war break out, the Red Army would be able toissue marching orders to Red soldiers of between 160 and

180 infantry divisions and 25 cavallery dlvisrons. Recently

the increase in the lank forces was declared by qte Red

Marshal Tuchatschewski, as 24i5 percent,

The strength of the Red Air Force amounts to 6000 planes.

The planes of the First Line arc .dividcd into 3100 heavy and

light bombers and scout plancf and 1500 chassers. The

bombing weapon prevails over al~ others and proves that .the

l\ed Air Force is preeminently a weapon ofnttack. The idea

is that in case of war the bombing planes should be able to

make a surprise attack before the attacked country will have

had time to organise its defence. The view of the Sovietstrategists is that .the next war will _!>ebegun without any

introductory declaration of war. A~d it is not generally known

that the Soviets possess the greatest submarine force in the

world.

The aggressh'e character of the Red Army is testified by

the aggressive strategy of its leaders. One of the great

paragons of efflcieney in the Soviet regime is that of the

"obvious justice" of the victorious Bolshevic revolution on a

world extension, according to Tuchatschewski, who said:

"Bolshevism will strive with elementary force to embrace the

\\'h~le world by direct influence. Its most important means

will be its militarv power." .And now the most incredible thing of all: Insptte of this

very obvious imperialistic kind of armament. Bolshevic

propaganda insists even today that Moscow adheres to a

"policy of peace". '<The Soviet Union does not wi5h to expand

its territory. 11 is always there when peace is to be defended

20

and maintained" - that is the kind of lies that Mr. Litwinoff

casts into the face of the world. And the French Communist

leader, Thorez,' declares in ..Humanile": "\\'e have shown

that the aim of peace is inseparable from the policy of the

Soviet Union,"In glaring contrast to this systematic campaign of false-

hoods we have the political offensive of the military pacts.

Under the slogan of "collective security" these were established

between Moscow and Paris on May 2. 1935 and between

~loscow and Prague on May 16, 1935.

A little while ago the Mayor of St. Denis, Jacques Doriot,

formerly a Communist and now a leader of the "Parti Popu-

laire Francais" described the purpose of the Frunco-Bolshevic

military pact in the following words: "And when they have

formulated it in true earnest, when Cachin is President of

the Hepubl ic and Thorcz is Prime Minister and Peri i s Foreign

:'Ilinister, under orders from Moscow they will unleash thedogs of war against Germany and thus secure freedom for

the Soviet Union on their Western front ... "

And the case is not otherwise with the mil itary pact between

Moscow and Prague. On December 15, 1935, a Soviet airman

and member of the Communist Party made the following

~ecJ;Jrations on that point to a representative of the French

paper "G r i n g 0 ire". '-The erection of air stations in the

neighbourhood of Prague and in the hinterland would be an

ideal mow for us. From these points only half the aeroplanes

arc nccessarv and onlv half the fuel is needed. Hence-i t would

be possible i'or us to carry an extra three tons~r explosives."

:'Ilcallwhile great numbers of these red air Italians have beenerected in Czechoslovak ian territory. Recently they were

increased to thirty-six. "S 10v ens k y Den n i k" - which is

a ncswpaper published at Pressburg and controlled by the

Prime Minister - made the astonishing admission: "If the

air stations are intended foi the defence of the State, then

21



assuredly no geese wil l be found grazins ou them. They will

be a refuge for those friends of ours who may rand them

adapted for use and proteclion." I n other words, these thirly-

six air stations 'are meant to be the slarting points from

which the Red bombers will attack Europe. This is ,an acute

danger" That is proved by the fact that ahe ,Red bombers

could thus feac)l the most important strategic points in

Western Europe \fithin less than an hour and could destroy

.these. From the' air bases of, the Red Arm\" within,.. . . _ " - . . . . ._ \. .{.zedlOslo\:akian tcrrHGry, Dresden. for example. could be

-That is the stGcy 01 the Bolshevist "peace policy". On this

".spot 1351 year I .gave an exact account of bow' many

clergymen had been murdered in Russia and pointed to

the danger of such's procedure being repeated in other

count ries. But even ecclesiastical circles in outside countries

poo.poohed thi,s warning. They expressed the naive view

,that Bolshnism had changed and Il.at in future it would

guarantee freedom of worship to religioul denominations.

Jnordet to appcarbarmless aud bourseoil iD lhe ey~ of

We~tern De.mocracy, the Bolshevist "diplomats" have even

copied habits and behaviour of respectable persons, al-

though the change must cost them an effort. But to us who

know the Bolshevist tactics it causes only amusement to see

how so many statesmen in Western Europe, who otherwise

seem so intelligent, believe that Bolshevism has abandoned

its. plan of World Ilevolution because its diplomatic represent-

ativcs now appear in tail coats and white collars.

A~d yet this varnishing docs not seem adequate for the

Jewish Hulcrs in the Soviet Union, In order to give a final

proof of its inpeccnhility, Bolshevism has furnished itself with

~ "C~nslilution": In this Con~liIutionthe "right of education"

IS I.ald down, having regard to the 40 G/. of the pupulation

which cannot read or write. And in the same Constitution

"freedom of speech and of the press" is mentioned, in a

country where everything that departs frOID the line of

opinion laid down. by the Jewish dic ta tors is punished by

death. as we have just experienced in the trial of Ihe Trotz-

kyist s. This system speaks of the "inviolahility of the person

and hIS home and the right of unopened postal correspon-

dence" although d:Jy after day the . Tscheka gathers in

thousands of distracted persons and, shoots tIHITI or deports

The "P a p u 1a r Fro n 1", which was founded bv the

Communists in France struggles "for the defence of democratic

lilll'rl)', its rnaintenanr e and exIcnsion'. These are the ~·ord5

of ~Ir. Thorcz, the leader of the party. The "Popular F~ont"

The phrase "Liberty and Bights of ~lall" is I I f av o ur it e

l>log:m .of the Coumumists. Hfigures prominently in their

rcwluhonary bymn. The following paragraphs of a leiter



from the So...iel Union give an idea of how Liberty and the

Rights of Man are treated there:

The letter, dated August. 10. 1935stales: .

• OnC' of the leading Communists said to us: 'Die on the

roadside and in the fields. We cannot kill you all; but you

'will 6a\'e to die in the. gutters!' ••

A letter dated June 7, 1935, states: "It seems as if the

crisis were at the beginning ence again but it is to be hoped

that the events of the year 1932.'HJ33 will not be repealed

when almost 80 ° :0 of the deported died' within the one year."

On Xovcmber 16, 191i, Lenin promised in. the "Declaration

of the Rights of the :;.riation3Ii lies·' that the peoples' of the

former Czarist regime would be granted autonomy. But how

did this promise work out in reality for these nationalities?

On April 2i, H120, the Red Army overran Aserbeidshan, in

:;.rim'ember of the same year they overran the Ukraine, on

December 3, Armenia, and on February 25, 1921 the young reo

public of Georgia, after Moscow had 1 . 1 ) ' treaty acknowledged

their territorial inlt';;rily the previous year."

In Ingria the Finnish population is being systematically stam-

ped out. From 1929 to 1931 18,OUO Finns were banished to

Siberia and in the spring of 1~359.000 were forced to undergo

the same fate. Only two month ago the gOH~rnnll!nt of the

S ov ie t L nio n decided10

drive out another 2M,OOO from theirnative land.In the Polish-Soviet fronlier district 18,000 peasants of

German stock .. had their sdtlement transferred" during the

spring of this year. From 80 to 90 persons . .. .. re packed into

catt le t rucks and sent to Siberia.

Last year 4,000 Carelians . .. ..re seat inbanishment to Central

24

Asia and 3,000 to the Ural, where more than fifty percent of

them succumbed to the inhuman conditions of life and work.

In August 1927 the Communist propaganda apparatus

drummed into the cars of the world proclamations againstthe execution of Sacco and Vanzetti. In millions of leaf'lets

and newspapers the Communists carried on thcir campaign

in foreign countries for the revocation of the death sentence.

Yet, what happens in the Soviet Union itself? In Paragraph 58

alone of the Criminal Code, Fourteen different kinds of acts

arc laid down which are punishable with death. By the law

of April 7. 1935, the death penalty was introduced even for

children. .

Starving children in an educational institution 113\'e often

told how good the conditions were that prevailed there in

former times. This fact alone was enough to bring them

within thc terms of paragraph 58. Ten children 'were shotby the OGPL' in the presence of their comrades. In a

newspaper article the Soviet Prosecuting Attorney, "'i·

schinskv, recalls "with content and pleasure" the firsl

anniver sury of the day on which the death penalty for

children was c stablishcd by law. (.\11 these arc facts ~\'hi~h arc vouched for exclusively by

ullquc~lion:.ll.olc and demonstrable documents originating

1l1O,tIy frOID Soviet sources. Last year, at the :;.riiirnuergParty

Congress, when I uttered words of warning Oil what I

pre s.uuu-d would be the consequences (If the Seventh Cumin-

tern Congress. held f rom July 25 to August 21, 1~35, the world

at large was syent and showed that it did not understand theimport of wliat Ihad said. The safe slay·at·homes took our

prophecies as exaggerated and believed that they could just

throw tlu-rn to the winds.

Therefore Imay permit myself (0 repeat here some of the

proposals that were made at . .the Comintern Congress and the

plans that were decided upon and bring before you the

2 5



events which meanwhile have resulted therefrom in "ariou~

countries.

Dimit roff, the accredited agent of the Soviet dictatorship

for bringing about the world revolution, has verbally-declaredi "'With Stalin at the head, our- political, army of

millions of men can and must overcome aU difficulties, com-

pletely surmount all obstacles, raze the fortress of Capitalism to

the ground and achieve the victory of Social ism, throughout

the whole world."

He said further:

"The proletariat is the real master of the world, the master

who will rule tomorrow. Itmust be granted I t s historical right

and in every land throughout the world it must take the sceptre

of power in its own bands."

"It is vain to think of turning the wheel of history back-

wards. No! The wheel of history is turning and will turnfurther in the direction of the World Union of the Soviet

SO,cialist Republlcs, unto the final conquest of the whole

world by Socialism."

Such is the programme set forth by this Bulgarian terrorist

for the rcvoluticnising of Ihe world. As to how it is carried

out, Jet the plaiO' facts speak.

Since this congress, much more than a hundred Corn-

munist revol ts' have occurred in different countries through.

out the world, among them the revolts in Brest and Toulon.

in. Au.gust, 1935, with many dead, in Lemberg 00 April 18,

1936, wilh 10 dead, and in Saloniki on May 10, 1936, with

more than 100 dead. Three armed uprisings, planned long in:lEbo'ance,shook whole countries for weeks on end: inXovember,

1.935, in Pernambuco, in January, 1936, in Buenos _'ires. and

in March, 193{), in Spain. .

Six attempted revolutions were frustrated in advance.

among them those in December. 1935, in Uruguay, in Fe.

bruary, 1936, in Paraguay and in the same month in Chile,

Sixty-two large fires were caused, among them that in Lan-

chou in China, which claimed 1,000 victims. Fifty-four

armed raids were carried out and 78 stores of explosives

plundered. Altogether 3,041 lives were sacrificed by these

Bolshevist criminals.

To select a few examples. At the meeting of the Com-

munist World Congress on July 30, 1935, Comrade

Dsordsos appeared as the representative of G r e e c e , and

outlined a plan of action for the future. Almost exactly one

year after his appearance in Moscow, on. August 5, 1936,

Greece was shaken by a general strike, which developed

direct ly into an armed revolution. Only through the energetic

intervention of General Metasas was Greece saved rrom

being reduced to a state of Bolshevist chaos, and the plan of

Comrades Dimitroff and Dsordsos frustrated.

\\"ith regard to the stirring up or revolution in colon il •

Dimitroff said that the peoples of the colonial and seni-

colonial countries no longer regarded their liberation ,as a

hopeless cause, but tended more and more towards a de-

termined struggle against their imperialist oppressors.

Scarcely one year later a dangerous revolt broke out in

S y ria, which cost many lives. The new friendship with

France by no means prevented ~loscow from carrying out

its premeditated plan in a territory under the mandate of

its ally. fa few months later the disturbances in Palestine

broke out, during wich the English police confiscated masses

of Communist leaflets and dispersed secret meetings ofCommunist agents.

Marques, the representative of Bra z; il , declared at the

Seventh World Congress ·in July, 1935, that the country ",as

hastening towards the decisive struggle for the fall of the

government ... and for .the establishment of a national revolu-

tionary governmenL

26



Three months later a Communist revolution broke out in

Nata~ and Recife, which claimed 150 dead and .00 wounded.

Luis Carlos Prestes, the Jew Ewert and the "Ambassador" of

Soviet Russia in Montevideo, the Jewish former furrier

Minkin, were revealed as the agents of the "Alliance".

To come to F ran c c. Dimitroff said that the French

Communist Party provided an example for all sections of

the Communist International of how the tactics of II Front

Pcpulairc should be carried QuLThorcz, the leader of the French COlll l11unist Party, added

that II revolution docs not o,ccurauloIl lulically, but musi be

organized. We are determined, he said, to follow Ule~~ample of

the Russian Bolshe"isls, We are ... in fa,' our of the Soviets .

The French Co,mmunist Party has proved ihelf worthy

of the praise which Dimitroff accorded it, Its membership

increased from Hi ,000 in January to, 100,000 in March, to

187,000 in June and to O\'C.T 225,000 in August, 1936. During

'the same period ,lhe number of nJiJilary youth organizat ions

m£'lHb('rship in the Cluunbcr, in H136. 27 million pamphlets

were ilist<ributl'd by the Cemmuuist propaganda headquarters.

After t ll l' ie aHiliat .ion with the Communist Front Populaire, the

t rade uaions increased in membership from 800,000 in ~lay of

this yt':u to 4.:mO.'600 in August.

France is abo proeccdlug to follow the example of the

Spanish Front Populaire. Dim it r 0 f f 's "Trojan horse"

could CO D vinee us more lhorougblY of the seriousness. of

the decisions of the Seventh World Congress. than the

sanguinary and appalling events in Spa in, They represent

the literal carrying out of the directions given at that time.

They are practically the realization of the "Front Populaire"·

plan, which has attained only jls preliminary stage in France,

b~t ~as reached its highest point of development in Spain.

Dimitroff had announced the plan of action under a Front

Populaire gO\'ernmcnt when he said that the exercise of 'the

powers of ~ government of this kind was to be utilized to

prepare the' masses for the revolution, and that they should

arm themselves for the Socialist revolution, because Soviet

power alone could provide salvation,

The Spanish delegate , Ventura, announced that the exact

programme was as follows: "The Spanish proletariat and our

party . .. will overthrow Fascism and the power of the

bourgeois and the owners of the large estates once and for all.

and bring about the triumph of the workers' - and peasants ' -

revolution ... Under the banner of Lenin and Stalin, we are

proudly marching towards victory."

Before the murder of the monarchist leader Calm Sotelo,

which took place on July 13, 2G9 lives had already been

sacrificed to the murderous Communist pest . The French

journali st Arminjon repor ted, for example, that . in Murcia the

mob seized upon two young men who had been said to be

Fascists . They were maltreated on the street, and finally a

woman soizcd a butcher's hatchet and beheaded them both,

This occurred on :'Ilarc11 Iii, and the names of the two men

were Pedro Culillas and Antonio Martinez, .

The Pr(,55 throughout the world had finally to print

reports of the inhuman horrors perpetrated by the Spanish

Marxists at the command of their foreign instigators, It is

impossible to give even approximate figures approaching

the actual Iacts, On' August 19, the following facts were made

publ ic, derived from an official source: in the city of Madrid

2 9



and in its suburbj, up to the present more than 6,000 people

were ~urdered' by the Reds, 1,400 alone in the famous

park £asa -del Campo. In the largest prison, the Carc.el

Modele, there' were at that time 3,000 prisoners. and 1,146 10

San Antonio, the total for Madrid being 6,000. I have in

front of me a report by an e)"c!witness, the German Hein-

r ichs, whose house overlooked the Casa del Campo, and here

quite different figures are gi,·en. This eye-witness reports

that up till August 30, he himself had seen about 6,000

people shot. He also reports that on other squares in the

city, in the streets and in the houses, 20,000 more. were

murdered.Other eye-witnesses, some of "'hom were forced to witness

the Bolshevist murders from ".-ilhin the pri sons, give reports

of hundreds of murders daily. A young foreigner saw with

his own eyes how in the night of August 20, about200 prison officials in the Carcel Modelo were murdered,

and how, on the next day, 250 members of the Fascist or~

ganizations were shot in the eourtyar'd of the barracks. On

August 15 he saw a conroy of 250 prisoners arriving

in Madrid from Almeria handed over to the Red militia by

the police escort. The latter lined up 240 of them and shot

them (In the spot then and there, They escorted only 10 of

them to the prison. so as to have carried out their "duty".

A lillie later the Fascist leaders, Huiz de AIda, Fernando

Primo de Rivera, Cuesta and ,"aIdes, were murdered.

The whole German nation mourns for the seven Germans

who died a horrible death as victims of the murderous Redcrew. On their way to the Recreation Congress in Hamburg,

four Germans, named Caetje, Dato, Hofmeister and Treiz,

who were also members of the National Socialis t Party. were

murdered by a group of Bolshe\-ists. After a long "trial",

Iwo of them were led behind a factory, and the other two

were placed against a v..all a Little way off and the four of

them were shot. Itwas afterwards ascertained that the criminals

had performed their bloody work with small shot. Hof-

meister and Trciz were so disfigured that they could only be

recognized with difficulty by the shape of their f~ces. Manyother Germans were injured or suffered damage to their

property. The National Socialist, Hans Hahner, was d.ur-

dered on the way to his work at the Red Cross station. 'Hi;

house was plundered and his wife left destitute.

:\01 only in Madrid, but throughout the whole country.

there were constant furlher reports of the horrible doings of

the Reds. According to the "Diaric de Noticias" of Lisbon,

I87 people were murdered in Llora del Rio, and 250 in

Constantina.

According to the German paper "Germani a", in Cartagena

G O O officers and soldiers were thrown into the sea

with stones lied round their necks. According to the"Seculo", in the monastery of Baena 180 persons were

executed by the Communists with choppers and razors,

among them the priest of Santa Maria Mayor, and also

women and children, The women's bodies were ripped i.

open. The "Seculo" also referred to a report by two peasants

from ~lalaga of the murder of more than 400 persons, who

were thrown into the wells with weights lied to their feet, or

bound to the tails of horses and dragged through the streets.

According to "Die Front" of Zurich, the' Italian consulnr

agent Soianrani reported Iha·t a girl of 16 fired t'lie first shot

at a prisoner. The "Journal de Genhe" reported that bl

Rosal de 1a Frontera Ihe Communists locked 40' people' in (hechurch and set fire to it, so that they were burnt to death.

According to "The Times", 400 inhabitants were mu.rdered

in Runda, about 200 of them being Ifuown into the Tagul.

According to Ihe "Evening Standard", 51 hostages. were shot

in San Sebastian on Augu!it U. Again aceordiing. to the

"Seculo" I in' Almeodralago General' Franco'. troups found

3 1



the corpses of prisoners, crucified head downwards on the

prison walls. The "Seculo' reported further that 80 persons

were burnt alive. According to the "Daily Mail", in Cartagena

50 members of the civil guard were bound neck to neck, andbeaten with iron bars and thrown into the sea from the Red

prison ship "SH". The same paper stated that the special

correspondent of "Le Journal", Emile Condroyer, hadreported from El Arahal that the Reds shut up 30 men;

women and children in prison, 'poured petroleum in through

the window and threw in Hgbtell!matches.

The details which reach us of the murdering of priests and

violating of nuns are inconceh·abte.The following are a few

examples. The "Journal de Geneve" reported that the Arch-

bishop of Tarragona and the Bishop of Leridawere rmrr-

dercd. According to the "Matin", the American. Henry Hams,

reported that he himself witnessed in prison the murder of150 members of religious orders. According to the "Journal

de Geneve", the Catholic workers' leader, D9n Dimas

Madariaga, was murdered in Piedralvez. The German Hein

Hausmann reported that in Tarragona eight priests were

shot, and a monk trampled on and finally shot. Cases arc

constantly being reported of priests being beheaded and.

their heads being dragged through the streets. The "Ger-

mania" reported that in Valencia whole rows of nuns ..were

shot, and their bodies burnt. The. priests of Adrero, Las

Casas and Torres were killed in the most horrible fashion.

The list could be continued indefinitely. Children often look

part in the shootings. Thus, according to the "Diario de 13

Marina", Raff'ael Oriol o r La Habana reported that in Barce-

lona he had seen many groups of boys under 15 among the

murderers.

Irreplaceable works of art were destroyed and the inteUecl·

ual elite of the country was exterminated. According 10

the London "Daily Mail" , the Nobel prize-winner Benavente,

~the well-known dramatist Alvares Quintero and the painter

Zuloaga have been executed. Professor 'Waller \V. S. Cook

reports that in Barcelona alone St. Anne's Cathedral and all

other churches, with one exception, have been burned doWD.

The famous altar wings by Vermejo dating from the 15th

century have been destroyed and the 15th century Church

of Santa Maria del Mar reduced to a heap of ruins. All that·

remains of the 9th century Church of San Pedro de las

Puellas is the walls. The famous ·monasteries in Barcelona

and the Palace of the Archbishop have ~en completely

destroyed.

That is the real face of Bolshevist atheism which has the

effrontery to state its readiness to co-operate with the

Churches in other countries. The fact that the bodies of nuns

were torn from their coffins in Barcelona is a symbol of thedesecration of all that is holy by Bolshevism. When Andres

Xln, one of the principal agitators in Spain and formerly

secretary 10 the Bolshevist Tornsky, states, that they have

solved the church problem by Ieaving not a single church

standing, we must stale that this is the Incarnation of god-·

lessncss, That is the' real face of Bolshevism!

In Spain, as in Russia of 1917, and in all other countries,

it is Ihe unpatriotic and Jewish wire-pullers who cause and

lead Bolshevist re\·olls.' If they arc non-Jews; they have

completely lost their feeling of patriotism.

Xow who is 10 blame, theoretically and practically. fot

everything that is happening in ·Spain~ All these eventsrepresent nothing else than the execution of the resolutions

adopted in :\10 s cow. The Bolshevist Jew, n e I a K u D, the"Murderer of Hungary", N e u man n , who in Spain, calls

himself Enrique Fischer Neumann, K 0 I z o·w - G iD i-bur g. posing as the correspondent of the Moscow "Praw-

Jew, R 0 5e D b erg. were sent to Spain to carry them out.



They are the leaders of all Soviet Russian terrorists who

carry out their sanguinary ,,-orkin Spain provided iwlfh

forged passports which, strange to say, are mostly or French

origi~._ ,

Nothing is more characteri!ic of Moscow's responsibility

than the well-laid' plan to make the e i v i1 war slarted by

Bolshevism in Spain develop into an in t ern a t ion a I

con f) ie t. The Jew S c h w e r oj k, the president of the

Soviet Russian trade unions, frankly admitted the intention

to Intervene when he said, according' to the "Iswestia", that

the Central CommiUee... summons all workers and the

masses in the Soviet i:nion'to provide mat I.' ria I ass i-

s tan e e for the Spanish fighters who are defending the

democra tic republic by force- of arms.

The "Iswestia" itself states thai the First Secretary of the

Central Council of the Soviet Russian trade union' associ-

ations has remHted the sum of 12 million roubles, which is,

equal to 36 million francs, to' the Spanish Bolshevists.

According to the Berlin "nurseRzeituns", the President of the

Spanish SI,at.e,_-\izana,thanked the SOYet Jew Kolzow-Ginsburg

in the roJlewing words: "Please convey to the Soviet people

Ihat we have been profoundly touched by their sympathy

and slirring assistance. Itwas always clear to me that there

must always be a community of interests between the great

Soviet Democracy and the Spanish Democracy."

Moscow attemps by means of its Cominlern sections to

induce even for e ig n go v ern men t s to intervene on 'behalf of the Reds in Spain, The French Right press con-

stantly reports the delivery of French aircraft and French

war material 10 :Madrid.

~roney is collected by the Moscow Red Aid in every country

without any disguise in order to help.the Bolshevists in Spain.

J 0 u b a u x , the Secretary General of the French Front

Populaire trade union, the agent And r ~ ].I aIr a u x and

others maintain connection between the French and Spanish

Marxists. According to the "Prawda", the Spanish PremierGiral thanked Kolzow-Ginsburg for the "brilliant initia tive

of French organizations and persons who are energetiea1ly

, 4 supporting the Spanish Government in its struggle".

making special mention of Jouhaux, AIalraux and the Jew

J. B. B lac h. and concluding with renewed thanks to. the

"fraternal Soviet people", How does the Front Populaire

government in Spain come to thank a So\-jet lew for 1M

support of French Communists? It pro\·esthat the riDgleaden

of the French Communist party, like those of the same party

in Spain , live in Moscow.

There is proof that the unheard-of. acts of cruelty in SpaiD

were instigated' and committed by agents of the Comintern.

There is proof that Soviet Russia provides the Spanish

Bolshevis ts with financial, pol it ical and pract ical ass istance.

fhere is proof that the last Comintern Congress in Moscow

intended to introduce Bolshevism in theory and practic:e

into Spain and that Moscow is now endeavouring to

carry out this plan. Moscow's undiminished and even in-

creased determination to bring about a world revolution is

illustrated by Ihe example of Spain. Anyone who does not

realize this now cannot complain about the consequences.

That is_Bolshevism in theory and pract ice, an infernal world

pestilence which must be eradicated and which it is the duty of

everyone, conscious of his responsibilities, to assist in remo\ing.

It is not merely oratory when we Germans appeal to aU the

nations of the world to combine in order to meet this menace

if they do not .,.ish to be drawn into the whirlpool of a te rrible

and incalculable fate.

Germany has given the signal for this ~o'Orldstruggle. We

National Socialists, as the originators of this struggle, have for

fourteen yean been the opponents wbo fought .,a inat



Bolshevism'of every variety and hue; we did that under govern-

ments which were typically middle-class in character and had

no idea of the effects of Bolshevism and who. therefore.

hindered us every time we wished to strike a decisive blow.It seems almost like a miracle to-day that we succeeded.

nevertheless. in defeating Bolshevism in Germany. It is also

perhaps a miracle to be attributed to a supernatural power

which did not wish to allow nations and civilizations, thousands

of years old, to be destroyed by' the nihilistic will of inter-

national Bolshevistic Jewry.

We were able to overcome Bolshevism because we were able

to counter it with a better ideal and a stronger faith, because

the nation rose with us against Jewry and the racially inferior

underworld connected with it , because we advocated a "\YeH-

anschauung" which, in contrast to that of Bolshevism, is fine.

noble and idealist ic, because in our struggle we were supportedby the people themselves, and not, l ike the middle-class parties,

by those with possessions and culture. because we combined

the attractive force of our ideas with the strong faith and

political fervour of a newly awakened nation, and because we

had a Fuhrer who pointed out the way from the darkest hour

of our national life to the clear. bright, pure light of a better

future.

It is the historial service rendered by the Fuhrer, which the

whole world already recognizes, that he barred the way to the

onset of Bolshevism on Germany's eastern frontiers. and thus

assumed the role of Europe's spiritual pioneer in its struggle

with the subversive forces of destruction and anarchy. A trueknight, without fear or reproach, he seized the banner of cul-

ture, humanity and civilization in his strong hands and carried

it proudly against the menace and onset of the world revolution.

He has taught us to despise fear and love the things that are

worthy of veneration, and thus restored our respect Cor our

old national ideals and virtues..

That ought to be a signal for the whole world. We have

proved under the most unfavourable circumstances lh.tBolshevism can be overcome if one wishes to do 50, if one

uses the proper means and if one is determined to oppose thepowers of destruction with all one's strength and alI oile~s

manly courage, The German People have thereby become

happier, and this will happen to all nations who will have thegood fortune to produce men who dare 10 take up_this

challenge. The scales would fall from their eyes andllley

would sec the whole evil cunning of Jewry and thusteaIize

thai once it has been recognized and seen through . .i t, is neither

clever nor dangerous. o:

May the world follow Germany's example. Of course Natio-

_nal Socialism is not suitable for export. and other nations sbaJi

not be persuaded or even forced to adopt its methods. Yel' it

may prove instructive, and its methods of procedure maystimulate other nations to adopt the same course and thus

evade a terrible crisis. May they do so before it is too late. for

the danger is approaching everywhere,

But we German National Socialists are proud that we have

already solved this problem not only for Germany but also

for the rest of Europe, Adolph Hitler, as the leader ofUUs

German struggle, has at the same time become the best

European. He has shown this tortured continent how to

overcome the worst crisis that has ever threatened i _ t , an dthus glvcn the nations of Europe an opportunity of learning

from Germany and acling accordingly. For the Red en~~y

of civilization is at work in every country. The whole~ofii lis in danger. Therefore there must be no more vaeuia:tio~.

We must be ready to meet the danger at the decish·eho~r.

The Red Menace threatens us from the East. but the Fuhrer

is on the watch. Germany, as the outpost of EuroPean-~iiiU~

zation, is ready and determined to ward off this danger' from

her frontiers "..ith all the means at her dispoul.

,Ve have burned out the Bolshevist pest in Germany. and

there is not a trace of it left in the country. It will also no

:}oj)Sl'r find any opportunity of raising its head again in any

way or at any time. The last sparks of this smouldering fire-have been trampled upon. The former leaders and initiators

of this pest in Germany have either IcC! the country or been

taken into safe custody; but most of the ir former followers and

adherents have long been absorbed in the new great German

national community. Regardless of how Moscow might

attempt to set Bolshevism going again in Germany, such an

attempt would be opposed with a ruthlessness thai would

astonish even Moscow, There is no one and nothing that

could restrain us in such a Case. The Gcrman nation wishes

and demands that we should act thus. The people are happy

means inclined to allow it 10 he disturbed anywhere, at any,lime or by anyone. Th~ Party. as the agency for combating
