“It is a simple but heroic philosophy; everything that is against our unity must be thrown to the flames.”
That, General, is the expression of the “storm and stress” of youth which has found its special unity.
GEN. ALEXANDROV: According to your opinion, the philosophy implies that children must no longer play with toys, but must do other things. Did I understand you correctly? I do not see any essential difference between my quotation and yours.
VON SCHIRACH: May I say that I think the military training of the youth of Germany falls much behind that of the Soviet Union.
GEN. ALEXANDROV: This is an irrelevant comparison. On Page 98 of your book, speaking of the Hitler Youth, you wrote:
“They strive to be political soldiers. Their model is Adolf Hitler.”
Did you write that?
VON SCHIRACH: I have not found the place; is it Page 98?
THE PRESIDENT: The witness has admitted he wrote the whole book, hasn’t he?
GEN. ALEXANDROV: In order not to lengthen the proceedings we will pass to the next question.
