Keynoted Orator Ley last week as 1,500,000 Nazis began heading toward the Parteitag: "If there is a Paradise, I feel sure it cannot be more beautiful than National Socialist Germany! . . . There are persons who preach to a snickering audience that: 'Faith moves Mountains.' This is said to have happened 2,000 years ago. Now National Socialism...
