TO THE GERMAN PEOPLE
When justice is crushed, when evil is triumphant, then I come back.
For the protection of the good, for the destruction of evildoers, for the
establishment of the Reign of Righteousness, I am born again and again, age
after age.
The Bhagavad-Gita
IV, Verses 7 and 3.

I am the Oblation; I am the Sacrifice . . .

IX. Verse 16.

PREFACE
These pages — written in English only because I did not, yet, feel
myself in a position to produce a book in German — relate my first actual
pilgrimage to places which have a great name in the history of the National
Socialist Movement and in that of Germany in general. They are incomplete,
because that pilgrimage itself was — had to be, on account of personal
financial difficulties — a rather hasty one; one from which I had to leave out
even such important landmarks as Vienna and Berlin.
For the sake of faithfulness to fact, I purposely did not try to fill the
gaps with memories of these and other places, gathered during more recent
tours of mine. For every successive pilgrimage is a whole in itself, endowed
with its own organic unity. And the first one has a special character for the
sole reason that it is the first.
Many statements in this book — many reactions of comrades of mine
or of myself — will shock those who are not definite devotees of the Hitler
faith — and perhaps even some of those who are, or profess to be, such ones.
Yet, again for the sake of faithfulness to fact, I have not cut out the
corresponding passages. I wanted at least the psychological atmosphere
which I have lived in 1953 to be rendered as I have experienced it.
The book is, anyhow, not intended for indiscriminate circulation. It is
a series of personal episodes, laid down in black and white in exactly the
same style as I would relate them to the only people these pages are for,
namely, to the most conscious and consistent among my German comrades
and superiors.
