“The Testament of Adolf Hitler” is based on the Hitler-Bormann Documents of February to April 1945. These are the last thoughts of the National Socialist leader. Goebbels was at least partly responsible for helping Hitler to write it. Hitler was reading from notes when he dictated the testament. All four witnesses to the political testament died shortly afterwards. Goebbels shot his wife and then himself on May 1. Burgdorf and Krebs committed suicide together on the night of May 1 - May 2 in the bunker. Bormann's exact time and place of death remain uncertain; he probably was killed the same night, as he was trying to escape from the bunker.
The last political testament was signed at the same time as Hitler's last will, 4:00 am on April 29, 1945. The first part of the testament is a restatement of the political position and justifications which he had stated many times before. His intention to commit suicide soon after writing the testament and the imminent destruction of the Third Reich did not alter his political position. The second part lays out Hitler's intentions for the government of Germany and the Nazi Party after his death.

This excellent political writing is the world's second Best Seller, surpassed only by the Christian Bible. In the Third Reich every home had a copy. To fully appreciate this work that narrow, blinkered political dogma has to be set aside. Approach with an open mind and evalutate the work itself and you will find that this book is not at all as it is commonly portrayed. It is reasonably well written, although it's foremost asset is the committment and passion with which the autor addresses the issues closest to his heart and the emotions of a man driven by burning ambition which radiate from every page. Whether or not you agree with the sentiment, I suspect most will not, every point is made with conviction and feeling. These are the words of a man speaking his mind with forthright honesty, a man who has a confident, unshakeable faith in his ideas and is not ashamed to share them with the world, a man with a vision in which he passionately believes. This book is branded “evil” as a matter of routine, but it is still essential reading if any objectively complete understanding of this period of history is to be achieved. No man should condemn that which he does not know, the other side of the story must be heard, and can there be a better source that the central figure in the story himself. Read this and dismiss it as nonsense if you see fit, but do read it for the insight it provides is as illuminating as it is invaluable.

Life and Death is translated from the Third Reich original Horst Wessel: Leben und Sterben. It includes a short biography, memories of him written by his comrades, three S.A. fighting songs written by him (We Wear on Our Brown Uniform, Edelweiss Song and the later National Socialist party anthem the Horst Wessel Song also known as Raise the Flag), two poems about him, and two accounts of this death by his nurse and by his doctor as well as 23 photographs. His comrades memories include the beginning of his famous storm-troop five, marches and debates, the S.A.’s first marching band and the S.A.’s first “visit” to the communist-infested Fischerkietz, combating red terror in Berlin and jubilation at the NSDAP Party Day in Nuremberg in 1929.

Capitulate, Never!, translated from the Third Reich original, is the famous speech by Dr. Goebbels’ State Secretary Werner Naumann delivered on March 23, 1945 in the Hofbräuhaus in Munich. This speech is an example of the Aushalten! - Hold Out! - theme of the time. Furthermore, it specifically mentions the National Socialist Werwolf resistance movement. Werner Naumann was also the head of the famous “Gauleiter circle”, which after the war infiltrated the postwar FDP (Liberal Democratic Party) as part of a planned National Socialist take-over of the postwar regime in Germany.

Der ewige Jude (“The Eternal Jew”) is the most famous Nazi propaganda film. It was produced at the insistence of Joseph Goebbels, under such active supervision that it is effectively his work. It depicts the Jews of Poland as corrupt, filthy, lazy, ugly, and perverse: they are an alien people which have taken over the world through their control of banking and commerce, yet which still live like animals.
The narrator explains the Jews’ ratlike behavior, while showing footage of rats squirming from sewers and leaping at the camera. The film's most shocking scene is the slaughter of a cow, shown in bloody detail, by a grinning Rabbi - and it is followed by, of all things, three innocent lambs nuzzling each other.
