PS-2656: From Hitler’s speech at the party rally 1935: every German throughout his whole life should belong either to a national socialist organization or to the armed forces

THE BEARERS OF SOVEREIGNTY MARCH 1939, PAGE 25.
[Der Hoheitstraeger]
From speech of the Fuehrer at the Reichsparteitag, 1935
"He alone who owns the Youth gains the Future!
Practical consequences of this doctrine: The boy will enter the Jungvolk (boy 10-14) and the Pimpf (member of the Jungvolk) and will come to the Hitler Youth; the boy of the Hitler Youth will join the SA, the SS, and other formations, the SA man and the SS man will one day join the Labor Service, and from there he will go to the Armed Forces. The soldiers of the people will return again to the organization of the Movement, the Party, the SA, the SS, and never again will our people be so depraved as they were at one time."
