Der Saviour

by Paul Padua, dated 1939, "The Führer Speaks."

The family from old to young is gathered round the Volksempfänger, an inexpensive radio receiver, listening to Hitler speak. His picture is on the wall.

...Hans decides to start a new chapter in his life. He knows his limitations and the best way for him to get respect, authority and power is to join one of Hitler’s elite SS units.Poor Hans is having an identity crisis, which will soon be rectified, as ‘Der Teufel’(the devil) in the clothes of ‘Der Saviour’, has given nationhood and identity to his beloved people, who will all share the same focus to serve their Führer and the fatherland to the bloody end. This icon belongs to everyone, regardless of class or position, and in a short time he will be part of every household in the land. He will become an inseparable and permanent necessity for every family, as he coils tighter and tighter around their very essence, like a greasy, limbless reptile sucking them dry. There is no escape from his almighty presence, and even a visit to the toilet is no guarantee, as his face is stamped on every piece of toilet paper.
His demonic vision is not spontaneous, but a deliberate plan to unite the people behind him, and give them common goals. This bonding is strengthened by providing them with a common enemy, which includes the Jews, who are responsible for all their ills, and the Bolsheviks, who are a threat to the fatherland’s new political freedom. Many more enemies of the Reich will join this endless list, and accommodation has been thoughtfully prepared for them, as early as 1933 in Dachau, Buchenwald and Sachsenhausen, with fully trained staff on hand.

When the more enlightened members of society realise what has happened, it will be too late to stop this avalanche on its destructive path. The tentacles of the octopus have spread into every area of society that exists, and there is nowhere to hide. The population is controlled and monitored from the cradle to the grave, from the ‘Hitler Youth’ and the Bund Deutscher Mädel for young girls and ladies to the Volkssturm, the people’s army, which consists of the leftovers. The show is supervised by an iron fist without limits, which includes one of the largest best equipped, most professional armies the world has ever seen, and a massive security service, which looks into every keyhole and behind every door in the land. The system is built on a lack of privacy, where the family is totally subordinate to the state, where children act as the eyes and ears of the Gestapo, and sometimes sacrifice their families to feed this hungry monster with a limitless appetite. If you are not an agent for the Reich you are an enemy.
