Background: This is one of Joseph Goebbels’s early propaganda efforts, a speech given at various cities in Germany. His early Marxist leanings are more evident than they were later.
This translation is a tad unusual. A visitor to the site provided me with a translation done by an Internet company, which turned out to be so dreadful that I ended up translating it myself almost from scratch.
