48. Read this translation of Goebbels "Total War" speech for resonances
Edited on Sat Oct-29-05 03:38 PM by Nostradamus

if you swap the word "jews" for "terrorists", it starts to sound very familiar.

"...We are now facing a serious military burden in the East. The crisis is temporarily a broad one, similar but not identical in many ways with that of the previous winter. Later we will discuss the causes. Now, we must accept things as they are and look for the ways and means to turn things again in our favor. So there is no point in disputing the seriousness of the situation. I am above giving you a false impression of the situation that could lead to false conclusions, perhaps giving the German people a false sense of security that is altogether inappropriate in the present situation.

The storm raging against our venerable continent from the steppes this winter overshadows all previous human and historical experience. The German army and its allies are the only possible defense..."
