ABSTRACT
The aim is to make of the Germans a nation fit for heroes. Let it be clearly understood, not a nation of heroes but for heroes. Thus it is not an attempt based upon a long passed stage of political development, but one that must be taken very seriously-an endeavour to breed a new and purer racial type, and to allot to it the higher rights but also the higher duties of a new aristocracy of achievement. The National Socialist trainers of humanity are seeking to approach their goal in many different ways. A practical spirit of enterprise and mystical dilettantism run side by side, and Hitler is waiting to see the result before deciding which method is the most successful. As a whole, the seriousness of the attempt, and the part that is noteworthy in its success or otherwise for the rest of the world, is the effort to make a people of strongly individual traits fit into a uniform mould of rulers. Material which does not evolve creatively but suffers itself to be moulded-that is the secret of German nationalism.
