Slogans of the third reich.

[Searchlight]

When an opponent declares, "I will not come over to your side," I calmly say, "Your child belongs to us already... What are you? You will pass on. Your descendants, however, now stand in the new camp. In a short time they will know nothing else but this new community.

Difficult to argue with his logic eh?

All the best

RÄDER MÜSSEN ROLLEN FÜR DEN SIEG!
(wheels must roll for victory)
This text was written on the streetcars, railroad-cars etc.

Often scrawled underneath that slogan was:
Und Kinderwagen für die nächste krieg" (and Bayby buggies for the next war)

Ein Volk ein Reich. ein Führer, und ein Pellkartoffel

"Meier has done it again"
-comment by a Berliner after a heavy bomb raid on the City.

Referring to a Goering quote, that if a single bomb would hit Berlin, he would call himself "Meier".

"Hass ist unser Gebet und
Rache unser Feldgeschrei"

That just sounds so awesome!

The KZ motto:

Arbeit macht Frei

For me to.

It has a negativ vibe when you use it , but for me this is a good slogan, still today

[Alp Guard]

What is your favorite nazi slogan? My favorite was said by the SA when the NSDAP first came to power. "Today we own Germany, tomarrow the whole world."

That's NOT what the slogan ( line from a song) was. It was Today Germany LISTENS to us, and tomorrow the whole world. ( Then heute ja höhrt uns Deutschland, und morgen die ganze Welt). Just to set the record straight. HN.

You are both right. In the first version they sang "gehört". For some reasons the official version was changed to "hört" which changed the meaning of the phrase completely.

Most soldiers and also civilian, however, continued to sing "gehört". I accidently heard some Wehrmacht veterans in a pub in Agadir ( Morocco) to sing this song ( 1979) , when they were quite pissed. They sang "gehört", I clearly recall. Other tourists did not understand what they were singing.

What's fascinating here is that from most of the ordinary Nazi slogams comes a satirical version-- the "Meier" quote being a good example. I wonder if there are any signs that can tell us if the humor was actually intentionally subversive or simply meant as straight humor-- in other words, by making the joke is the citizen subtly stating problems with the Nazi regime, or simply trying to make his buddies laugh?

"Und sollt die Welt voll Teufel sein, so soll der Erdball zittern.
Wir wollen Glaubensträger sein in Not und Sturmgewittern."

"And if the world is full of demons, so the globe shall shiver.
We want to be carriers of our belief in need and stormy weather"

-- taken from an SS marching song, "Hell klingt ein Lied". Beautiful lines.
