The great aim of Nazism, as we shall see, is to create a totalitarian empire that will impose its laws on the whole world.

Nazism to-day is a powerful ma- chine of government, repression, and terrorism, a machine that works solely in order to increase its own power and to force absolute obedience on those it has enslaved. The actions of all members of the Party are controlled to the minutest detail; each one feels his complete dependence on it; he must identify himself body and soul with the activities of the Party; and he lives in constant fear of being de- prived of all means of existence, if he becomes suspect in any way.

Seeing that the regime of which Hitler is the head is a dictatorship in the truest sense of the word, why
