"I warned Churchill of what this new form of warfare called aerial bombing would bring. It would destroy lands on BOTH sides! It would destroy in days what it took men centuries to build! When we went into France, not a pane of glass was broken."
Adolf Hitler Schools (AHS) were 12 day schools run by the Schutzstaffel in National Socialist Germany from 1937 to 1945. They were for young people aged 14 to 18 years old and were single sex, with three schools for girls and the rest for boys. The first AHS opened on 20 April 1937 (Hitler's forty-eighth birthday) in Pomeranian Crössinsee.
Overall the curriculum at the AHS represented an outright rejection of previous educational ideas since it was anti-traditional, anti-knowledge, anti-Gymnasium, and anti-parent in disposition.
Hitler described the aims of the AHS in the following terms:
"We are bringing talented youngsters, the children of the broad mass of our population. Workers' sons, farmers' sons, whose parents could never afford to put their children through higher education...Later on, they will join the Party, they will attend the Ordensburg, they will occupy the highest positions. We have a goal which may seem fantastic. We envisage a state in which each post will be held by the ablest son of our people, regardless of where he comes from. A state in which birth means nothing, but performance and ability mean everything."
We national socialists and Fascists want peace and will always be ready to work for peace a genuine prolific peace which solves the questions that arise from the coexistence of nations instead of looking on in silence the whole world is asking itself anxiously what the result of the meeting in berlin will be: peace or war? both of us, the Furher and i, can answer with a loud voice: Peace!
just as 15 years of Fascism gave Italy a new face, externally and spiritually, your revolution in Germany also gave Germany a new face: new, even though it, as in italy, forms upon the highest and imperishable traditions which conforms the necessities of modern life And i have wanted to see the face of the new Germany and by seeing it now, i feel more strongly convinced that this new Germany in its strength, it's entitled pride and it's peaceful spirit... Is the fundamental element of European Life
We have many common elements in our Philosophies not only national socialism and Fascism have the same enemies who serve the same master the Internationals but Fascism and National Socialism also have many ideas in common in their conceptions of life and history both believe in will as a determining force in the life of people and as a driving force of their history and both reject the teaching of the so-called historical materialism and it's political and philosophical byproducts both glorify labor in it's innumerable forms as a symbol of human nobility both build on the youth whom we educate in discipline, courage, toughness, patriotism,and contempt of an easy life.
The revived Roman empire is the work of this new spirit which animates Italy the german rebirth is equally the work of a spiritual power of the belief in a single idea in which only one believed at first, then a small band of pioneers and martyrs, then a minority and finally an entire people.
Germany and Italy pursue the same goal, even in the field of economic autarchy.
without economic independence, the political independence of a nation itself can in question and a people of great military strength can become the victim of an economic blockade we realized this danger in its full immediacy when 52 states assembled in Geneva and enacted the criminal economic sanctions against italy, sanctions which were executed in full scorn but which did not attain their aim and only gave Fascist Italy the chance to show the world and it's power of resistance.
despite all the pressure, Germany did not join the sanctions, we will never forget that! this is the point in which the existence of a necessary cooperation between national socialist Germany and Fascist Italy is completely clearly emerging for the first time.
Fascism has its ethics which it intends to remain faithful.
and these ethics are in accord with my personal morals: speak clearly and openly, and, if you have a friend, march with him to the end.
Germany is awake, the third Reich is here. i don't know if and when Europe will awake, as the Nuremberg congress said, because secret forces well known to us are at work to transform a civil war into a world fire.
what is important is that our two great peoples, who account for a powerful and ever growing mass of 115,000,000 men, are ranged side by side in a single minded unshakeable determination.
