Nuremberg, To-day.
The Nazi Congress was brought to a climax with a mimic fight between 17,000 infantry and tanks in the presence of Herr Adolf Hitler, the Nazi leaders, diplomats and Military Attaches. The airship Field Marshal von Zeppelin and squadrons of planes were overhead.
Herr Hitler, in his address to the troops, said: "Serious times may be ahead of us, but they will never find us wavering, discouraged or cowardly.”
In his final speech to the huge audience in the congress kali Herr Hitler denounced Bolshevism as the deadliest enemy of Germany. The bestial, mad doctrine of Bolshevism was now trying to push its military forces ever closer to the German frontiers. "We shall fight Bolshevism as a world power if it tries to transfer its Spanish methods towards Germany," be said, and referred to the rumours of famine in Russia.
"Wherever we look," he continued, "we see Bolshevism in-. citing towards intervention by the supply of arms and money. We can regard all this calmly, but if they endanger the Reich the German people will sweep away from their frontiers those who imagine that they will walk over the German army.”
