HITLER'S AMBITION

LOOKING TO THE ‘“THIRD REALM.” “To-day, as in the days of Napoleon, European history is being made by one man. He sets the pace, he holds the world in suspense, and the question that transcends all other questions, day after day, is, ‘What will he do?’

“What is Hitler’s ambition? What, in other words, drives him on and makes him drive Europe on? He believes in a kind of heaven on earth of which the National Socialist revolution is the beginning. All his purpose and policy are dominated by the one thought that, in another war, he must control the sequence of events so that there will be victory instead of defeat and the National Socialist revolution will have triumphed! For Hitler it will only have triumphed when the enemies that, as he declares, ‘encircle’ it are prostrate.

“The Third Realm will then, and only then, have been established on permanent foundations. It will be not merely the third, but the eternal realm, or heaven on earth as Hitler conceives it. It is to this vision, held with a burning fanaticism and defended with unparalleled cunning, that the great German people are in subjection. “It is to the service of this vision that they have devoted all their moral and material resources during the last six years and have again made themselves the greatest military Power that ever existed. “It is his threat to establish this visionary and yet so tangible and intolerable dominion that is bringing about a coalition of peaceful Powers, who threaten no one and who are only united in self-defence by the thought of what may happen to each of them in turn.”—“Manchester Guardian.”
