When I Was A Worker I Busied

I Use Emotion For The Many And Reserve Reason For The Few.

Today I Must Humbly Thank Providence, Whose Grace Has Enabled Me, Who Was Once An Unknown Soldier In The War, To Bring To A Successful Issue The Struggle For The Restoration Of Our Honor And Rights As A Nation.

The German Countryside Must Be Preserved Under All Circumstances, For It Is And Has Forever Been The Source Of Strength And Greatness Of Our People.

Only So You Can Appeal To Your God And Pray Him To Support And Bless Your Courage, Your Work, Your Perseverance, Your Strength, Your Resolution, And With All These Your Claim On Life.

Today, More Than Ever, I Regard This Man As The Greatest German Mayor Of All Times.
