The Reich government is in all its actions conscious of the bond of fate of all German tribes.
Speech of March 3, 1933 in Berlin
As in the course of the thousand-year development of our folk, it started to form states beyond and across the German tribes, those forms also emerged, which we still see before us today as provinces. Their development is not to be ascribed to a, folkish seen, necessity. Upon consideration of their advantages and disadvantages for the German nation the former disappears in face of the latter. Even in the cultural sphere, the developing nation proved itself creatively as the more fertile. Only through the constantly given connection between political and cultural hot spots arose that decentralization of German art, which makes our fatherland appear so beautiful and rich to all of us. In that we are determined to preserve these and all other valuable, special traditions, we must proceed against all those burdens on our national unity, which politically have inflicted the most severe damage on our folk for many centuries.
Proclamation of September 1, 1933 in Nuremberg
A folk, which speaks one language, possesses one culture, experiences the shaping of its fate in only one common history, cannot do otherwise than to also strive for unity in its leadership.
Proclamation of September 1, 1933 in Nuremberg
The National Socialist movement is...not the conservator of the provinces of the past, rather their liquidator in favor of the Reich of the future.
Proclamation of September 1, 1933 in Nuremberg
The Reich governor law was the first answer of the German nation to the.... grumblers against the unity and greatness of the German nation.
Proclamation of September 1, 1933 in Nuremberg
It was necessary to do away with the concept in Germany that every small state and every government in these small states had the right to practice obstruction. There is only one institution, and that is the institution of the whole folk and not of a single state.
Speech of November 6, 1933 in Elbing
We fight for an independent German folk. If God created the German tribes, then they will remain.
Speech of March 20, 1934 in Munich
The German tribes are God-intended building blocks of our folk. They are part of its substance and will hence remain as long as there is a German folk.
Speech of March 20, 1934 in Munich
If somebody then says: „What about the individual states, which God also created?” No, people made the states!
Speech of March 20, 1934 in Munich
The political structures of the individual states...are the products of an in part good, but in part also very bad action by people of past times. They are man’s work and hence mortal.
Speech of January 30, 1934 in Berlin
If somebody asks me: „What task do you give to the German tribes?”, I answer: Educate your members to be the best Germans, then you stand up for our whole folk!
Speech of March 20, 1934 in Munich
All Germans belong to some tribe, not just here, rather just as much in Prussia as well, in East and West Prussia, in Thuringia, in Swabia and in our Alemannic regions. Every German belongs to a tribe. But where would we as Germans and our folk wind up, if we wanted to see in that a license to no longer fight for our folk in its entirety? No and again no!
Speech of March 20, 1934 in Munich
Thus neither Prussia nor Bavaria nor any other province is a pillar of the present Reich, rather the individual pillars are the German folk and the National Socialist movement.
Proclamation of September 1, 1933 in Nuremberg
The present German Reich bases itself...no longer on the German provinces, also not on the German tribes, rather on the German folk and on the National Socialist party including and encompassing the whole German folk.
Proclamation of September 1, 1933 in Nuremberg
The building of the Reich into a strong unity bestowing strength on all Germans has truly made historical progress. However, we want no impoverished province, rather blossoming provinces of the German Reich!
Proclamation of September 5, 1934 in Nuremberg
We are one folk, we want to be one Reich!
Speech of October 16, 1933 in Munich
