HITLER
"One year ago, we met for the first time on this field; it was the first general  review of the political leaders of the  National Socialist Party. Now 200,000 men  have been assembled; summoned not by  their mere hearts but also their fidelity.  It is our nation's greatest misery that  moved us, united us in struggle, and made  us fight strong, and all of those who  have not suffered with me the very same  misery and suffering among their own  people cannot comprehend what we feel.  To them, it is confusing and incomprehensible that this assembly would  bring hundreds of thousands together and  make them endure great misery, suffering  and privation as a simple order of the  State. They can only think that such a  thing could only be possible at the  command order of the State. They are  gravely mistaken. It is not the State  that orders us; but it is we who order  the State! ... (applause)

Then drum will join  drum, banner will join banner, group will join group, district will join district,  and then, at last, the once divided  people will then follow the gigantic  column of a united Reich! ... (applause)

237. CLOSE ANGLES OF the ornamental decorations in the area: the massed  decorations of swastika banner and eagle motifs; then:

238. CLOSE AT HITLER AGAIN:

HITLER
... It would be a crime if we ever gave up what had been fought for and won so  much strife, sorrow and sacrifice, and  distress. One cannot be disloyal to  something that has given content,  meaning and purpose to one's entire life.  All of this would not be possible were it  not given to us by a great command and it  is God Himself who created our Reich! ... (applause)

239. CLOSE ANGLE AT fluttering banners again; then:

240. CLOSE BACK AT HITLER AGAIN:

People are  deceived who might believe that even one  single smudge occurred in the foundations  of our unified Movement. It stands firm  as a rock just as this assembly today  stands firm as a rock, as we in Germany  stand, unbroken. And if anyone sins  against the spirit of my SA, this will  not terminate the SA but only those who  dare to sin against my SA, it is they  that shall be terminated! ... (applause)

No, comrades, we stand  firmly by Germany and we have to stand  behind her. I now give you the new  banners, convinced that I am handing them  over to the most loyal and faithful hands  in all of Germany. In the past, you have  proved your loyalty to me a thousandfold,  and it cannot and will not be any  different in the future. And so I greet  you, as my old faithful men of the SA and  the SS!
