THE EAST AS
FULFILLMENT
By Joseph Goebbels
For us the East is no longer a rubbish dump for
officials and officers of the Reich who have failed, no place to
punitively transfer shortsighted public authorities, who proceed
according to the principle that that which has proven useless
within our fatherland, is still good enough for the East, if not
actually even too good.
The East is our national radiation. Here of all places the
circulation of our racial blood must be directly stimulated and
accelerated again and again. Here we must harness to the
fatherland's disposal, the brightest minds and strongest hearts.
They are here for the purpose, and it is their national political
mission to see to it, that the Reich's pulse beat, become
perceptible and audible to its utmost cells. The program of
National Socialism for the German East will have to be
implemented by countless human beings and organizations. In the
meantime, years and decades will pass; but one day it will be as
we often dreamed, as we sang of it in our songs and as our poets
portrayed it to us:
yellow ears will wave here on vast fields, bread for our people
growing on our own soil. A hardy people of peasant stock will
keep guard in the East. Sword and plough stand ready to shape and
preserve the peace. A rich and inexhaustible German cultural life
will be able to unfold here. In all people and on all fields the
Reich will be at home here.
Every young German will have to consider it a
matter of honor to consecrate at least a couple of years of his
life to the East. Countless numbers will remain, strengthening
the rampart of bodies that shields our fatherland. For the East
is not only the yearning, but also the fulfillment of our nation.
J. Goebbels translated by PNB

"Living space in the
East for the people:
In the course of the centuries streams of
Teutonic and German blood seeped away and were
lost, because in the past, policy relating to
nationality lacked clear insight and purposeful
striving. East Germany needs the best German men.
It is vital living space for Germans --
today more than ever!"
