The German future lies in the hands of our Fuehrer.
Allied supplies of arms to Russia, and the manpower reserves of Russia have been sufficient to bring continuous counter-attacks against our Eastern Front.
The presentation of the Golden Badge of the Movement is the highest honor the Third Reich has to offer.
