Adolf Hitler spoke to his old comrades in battle and to his followers in words which went straight to their hearts. By way of introduction he remarked that it was a special pleasure to be present for a short while in Nürnberg, the town of the nationalsocialist community which had been steeled in battle, at this day qf honour of Julius Streicher, and to be within the circle of the standard bearers of the national-socialist idea during many years.

Just as they all of them had during the years of oppression unshakeably believed in the victory of the movement, so his friend and comrade in the battle, Streicher, had stood faithfully at his side at all times. It had been this unshakeable belief that had moved mountains.
For Streicher it would surely be a solemn thought, that this fiftieth anniversary meant not only the half-way point of a century, but also of a thousand years of German history to him. He had in Streicher a companion of whom he could say that here in Nürnberg was a man who would never waver for a single second and who would unflinchingly stand behind him in every situation.
