🗣️Discussion of a Speech given by Göring delivered on June 24, 1935, at a solstice event that deals with critics calling the regime "Pagan". The irony being that Heathens are trying to reframe this speech and use it as "proof of paganism", which is what Goring was trying to counter.

Key Notes as we read the Speech:

1. "Almighty" (Allmächtiger) Refers to the Christian God.

In 1930s Nazi usage, "der Allmächtige" was standard Christian terminology, drawn from biblical language (e.g., "Almighty God" in Lutheran translations of Genesis 17:1 or Revelation 1:8).

2. The Speech use at least 10 Christian references to rebirth, resurrection, and Almighty God to frame Hitler as a savior of the German people.

3. Zero references to wotan, odin, Atheism, Indo-Arayanism, or anything resembling paganism.

4. The Newspaper itself MOCKs paganism and calls it "Chatter" or "Prattle" which is a dismissive term for Nonsense or empty talk. (see Insert Image on post 3).

The idea that anyone could try to use this speech to claim the NSDAP was pagan is outright anti-White propaganda.

("Abrechnung mit dem Geschwätz des Neuheidentums" — "Geschwätz" literally means "chatter" or "prattle," a dismissive term for nonsense or empty talk.)

_____________________

The rebirth! (1)

In such hours of solemn exaltation of our people, its feelings rise powerfully. This is no longer a gathering of a party in the old sense; here the entire German people have come together in a great community of blood. In such hours, the individual feels most deeply that he belongs to this community of blood and spirit. (2)

We ask these questions today: Who are we? Where do we come from? What binds us together, what drives us, what has awakened us from deepest despair and led us to this miracle of Germany's resurrection? (3)

The answer is simple and clear: the voice of the blood!We are the descendants of those who once, in ancient times, lived here on this soil and drew their strength from it. Our ancestors were called pagans – let them call them pagans! THAT IS NOT THE POINT; the point is that they were of the same Germanic blood as we are.

If they call it paganism when we make a pilgrimage to an ancient sacred site of our ancestors – let them call that paganism too.

If they say that lighting solstice fires on the heights is pagan – let them also call that paganism. We do not ask whether something is pagan or Christian; we ask: Does it serve the preservation and strengthening of our people?

Does it come from the voice of the blood? Then, if someone calls a belief in miracles pagan, we can only say: The greatest miracle that has happened to the German people in all its history was brought about by the Almighty (4) through Adolf Hitler.

(Stormy applause and Heil calls)

Can anyone here in Germany today deny that without this man we would still be in the deepest misery? Does anyone here believe that without this man Germany could have risen again? (5)

We do not need proclaimed miracles (6); we have experienced the greatest miracle (7) that a people can experience: the resurrection (8) from the deepest distress to new life and greatness through one man sent by God. (9) What binds us Germans today is not some abstract dogma, not some church quarreling; what binds us is the voice of the blood, the community of blood. We feel today as our ancestors felt thousands of years ago when they gathered on these heights at solstice to celebrate the victory of light over darkness. Today we celebrate the victory of the German people over its enemies, over chaos and despair.

And if someone says: But you are turning away from the faith of your fathers – NO! We are returning to the sources of strength of our fathers.

WE DO NOT WANT TO CREATE A NEW RELIGION; we want to live the eternal laws of blood and soil that the Almighty (10) has given to every people.

Whoever feels German blood in his veins will follow these laws, whether he calls himself Christian or something else. But whoever puts foreign dogmas above the voice of the blood is no longer a true German.

(Enthusiastic applause)

I ask you: Do you believe in an eternal Germany?(Tumultuous Yes! and HH!)

Do you believe that this Germany will last longer than all the quarreling of priests and all the dogmas?

(Yes!)

Then let us swear here on this ancient Germanic sacred mountain: We will remain faithful to the voice of the blood, faithful to Adolf Hitler, faithful to the eternal Germany!

The people will never again be torn apart by class hatred or religious quarreling. The Almighty (11) has given us the Führer who has united us all.

HH!

(The masses rise in endless Heil calls. The bands play the Horst-Wessel-Lied and Deutschlandlied.)

📸The Big Picture:

The Speech specifically says "WE DO NOT WANT TO CREATE A NEW RELIGION" in 1935, which was proven by political Government action when the NSDAP began to suppress and shut down the Neo Pagan German Faith Movement (DGB) in 1936, who created actual pagan SPECTACLES that embarrassed the party before the Olympics.

In mid-1935, the regime was still tolerating (but watching closely) groups like the DGB, while simultaneously facing growing criticism from churches and conservative circles about “neo-paganism.”

Göring's speech was part of the public defense strategy: aggressively brushing off the “pagan” accusations from Christian critics, insisting that solstice celebrations and ancestral veneration were compatible with belief in “the Almighty,” and framing everything under blood-and-soil nationalism rather than a rival religion.

By mid-1936, the regime no longer needed to tolerate independent pagan movements that actually did reject Christianity outright. Those groups had failed to gain mass support, and their existence only fueled the very church criticisms the Nazis wanted to neutralize.

This speech by Goring captures that transitional moment: pushing folk (Not pagan religion, but cultural) symbolism as far as possible while re-affirming Christian faith with overtly Christian language, precisely because the regime was already planning to suppress anyone who went further (like the DGB).

The Pagan super minority (less than 0.1%) was tolerated for a few years, and then ruthlessly cut out of the regime and absorbed into secular patriotic and Nationalistic festivals. We have internal letters that verify the leader said their work was "impossible" because of the Gestapo.

There is nothing anyone can do to change these facts.
Paganism was dead in the Third Reich and Hitler k*lled it.
