road to building a new Germany.

bewildered. Hia head fell almost
to his knees as his strength gave
way.
The address was Hitler’s answer
to those Who criticised the liqui

He made another tremendous
appeal to the people for contin
ued and renewed blind obedience
: to his authority.
! He said that more firing squads,
and more purging by blood awaits
any who challenge his rule in Ger
many.
