Karl: I speak today not for myself, but for the youth of Germany. I speak as one who has learned a great lesson. Our Fuehrer, our beloved Fuehrer has often said that: "The future belongs to youth, and that the youth belong to the future." And, I know how true that is. I beg you all to be warned by my example. I thought for a while it would be fun to be free; to do just as I wished. I was willing to serve the Reich, but I was not willing to obey it in all things. Some things I wanted to decide for myself. Some things, I said, were no business of the Reich. Yes, in some things, I put my will above that of the Fuehrer. From all this I learned a great lesson, and the lesson in the words of a great German poet is this: "Those who live for their faith, shall behold it living." And my faith, my friends, is the faith of the great Goethe. "If the whole world I once could see, on free soil stand, with the people free, then to the moment might I say, linger awhile, so fair thou art." So fair thou art. To the youth of Germany then I say: This is my lesson. This is the lesson of life. But, this is not the lesson you're learning in Germany, today. You're not learning the lesson of life. Your education is an education for death. You don't know how to live from day to day, you die from day to day! For to live is to be free. You no longer wish to be free! Have you any idea, my friends, what it's like to be free? Well, I'll tell you, for I was a free man, once. And, once you've had a taste of freedom, nobody can take it away from you! It's like a breath of fresh air that lasts through eternity. Long live the enemies of NAZI Germany!
