"Do not let times of misfortune, when the good star that shines above us all is obscured by dark clouds for a while, turn you into a coward, but become defiant. Under no circumstance offer the leering world the sight of an ignoble attitude; in place of the white flag of submission that the enemy expects, raise high the old Swastika banner of fanatical and wild resistance and renew the oaths that we so often took in happy and safe times. Show the enemy of the world that they can wound us, but not kill us; torture us, but not humiliate us; beat us bloody, but not bring us down. Do not let yourself be disconcerted by the worldwide clamor that will now begin. There will come a day when all the lies will collapse under their own weight and truth will triumph once again." (Joseph Goebbels, April 1945)
