PS-3559: Praise of Rosenberg, 1942: on account of his contribution to the development of national socialist ideology he became the first winner of the German national prize in the year 1937

ALFRED ROSENBERG,
THE MAN AND HIS WORK,
by F. Th. Hart, 5th Edition, Published I. F. Lehmann, Munich
Page 50. .
The first man to receive the National Prize was Alfred Rosenberg at the Party Diet in 1937, with the following citation:
"Alfred Rosenberg has helped with his publications to lay the scientific and intuitive foundation and to strengthen the philosophy of National Socialism in the most excellent way. His indefatigable struggle to keep National Socialist philosophy pure was especially meritorious. Only future times will be able to fully estimate the depth of the influence of this man on the philosophical foundation of the National Socialist Reich. The National Socialist movement, and beyond that, the entire German people will be deeply gratified that the Fuehrer has distinguished Alfred Rosenberg as one of his oldest and most faithful fighting comrades by awarding him the German National Prize".
