Said Hitler:
“We want to make a selection for a class of new masters who will be devoid of moral pity, a class which will realize that because of its better race it has the right to dominate others, a class that will be able to establish and maintain without hesitation its domination over the masses.” (Otwalt, Ernst, Deutschland erwache!, 1932, Page 353.)
This German fascist racial theory had at the same time to serve as a “scientific” basis for the preparation by the Hitlerites of an attack against democratic nations, as a justification for aggressive wars for which the Hitlerites made feverish preparation during the whole time of their domination of Germany. In such manner, the function of racism was to justify the conspiracy—to fulfill the predatory aims of the German imperialistic clique.
By order of the German fascist authorities, the racial doctrine was introduced into the educational plans as a most important and obligatory subject. In the hands of German fascism, the schools and universities became dangerous centers for the intellectual and moral mutilation of the people and, as such, the greatest menace to civilization. All branches of science were militarized. All aspects of art were subjected to the aims of aggression.
“We approach science unbiased by knowledge and scholarly education.”—declared the fascist review Politische Wissenschaft, Number 3 for 1934—“The student must come to college with the demand that science be as soldierly as his own bearing and that the professor possess the qualities of a leader and the bearing of a soldier.”
“We want arms again!”—said Hitler—“Then indeed from the child’s primer to the last newspaper, every theater and every movie house, every advertising pillar and every billboard—all must be pressed into the service of this one great mission. . . .” (Hitler, Adolf, Mein Kampf, Munich, 1933, Page 715.)
Geography became the instrument for propagating the “preeminent importance of the Germans in the world,” of their “right to dominate” other peoples. A feeling of racial superiority, arrogance, hatred, contempt, and cruelty toward other peoples was cultivated in the young.
These are the words of a German fascist song:
“If all the world lies in ruins,
What the devil do we care?
