The activities of the Kreisau Circle formed around the idea that the fall of the Third Reich was in the near future. The day after this day when the new government would need to take over was referred to as "Day X". This day would mark the beginning of a new Germany and the end of an historical era. Therefore, based on this assumption, the job of the Kreisau Circle was to prepare for this day. On 24 April 1941, the Kreisau Circle created a memorandum titled, "Starting-point, Objectives and Tasks". In this text, the Circle expresses their belief that with the end of the Third Reich would also come the end of nationalism, racism, and party politics.
