There can be no revival of Europe without a spiritually great France and a spiritually great Germany.

Today I am at the head of the strongest Army in the world, the most gigantic Air Force and of a proud Navy. Behind and around me stands the Party with which I became great and which has become great through me... Our enemies must not deceive themselves - in the 2,000 years of German history known to us, our people have never been more united than today.

It is the last territorial claim which I have to make in Europe, but it is the claim from which I will not recede and which, God-willing, I will make good.

In remembering the appalling suffering of war on both sides, we recognise how precious is the peace we have built in Europe since 1945.

I am trying to marshal all the forces I can to prevent this coming war, and to strengthen Britain.

I cannot forecast to you the action of Russia. It is a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma.
