THE BEARER OF SOVEREIGNTY [Der Hoheitstrager]
February 1939, Page 15.
Fight and Order—Not Peace and Order!
Fight? Why do you always talk of fighting? You have conquered the state, and if something does not please you, then just make a law and regulate it differently! Why must you always talk of fighting? For you have every power! Over what do you fight? Outer-politically? You have the Wehrmacht—it will wage the fight if it is required. Inner-politically ? You have the law and the police which can change everything which does not agree with you. _ ' .
We do not mean the fight of all against all. We do not fight against the other but we fight because of the other.
