Says Hindenburg Still Lives

many Did Not Start the
World War
Berlin, Aug. 6. (/P)— From the
rostrum where on July 13 he defended
his killing of 77 "revolutionaires” and
declared he was Germany’s law, Adolf
Hitler today paid sloemn tribute to
the late President Paul von Hinden
burg and prayed for the peace, free
dom and honor of Germany.
"Deputies of the German Reichstag,
men and women of the German peo
ple”, the chancellor leader spoke, "I
implore you all now to look beyond
this transitory moment into the
future. Let the strong realization en
ter our hearts: the Herr Reich Presi
dent Field Marshal General von Hin-.
denburg is not dead.
"He is living. For in dying he now
wanders above us amidst the immor<
tals of our people, surrounded by the
great spirits of the past as an eternal
patron and protector of th German
Reich and the German nation”.
Hitler declared the late president
was "as innocent of th e beginning of
the war as anybody in the world could
be," pointing out that when the con
flict began in 1914 von Hindenburg
was living in retirement, having taken
his discharge from the cfmy at the
age of 64 on March 18, 1911.
The new leader of Germany praised
von Hindenburg as a military com
mander, and declared:
"Had the political leadership of our
people during this period been con
genial with the Germany
would have been spared the greatest
humiliation ever to go down in his
tory.”
He said the World War broke upon
a German people “sacredly convinced
of having been attacked without their
guilt.”
The chancellor’s address, delivered
before a hushed .audience in the Kroll
Opera House —which still serves as the
temporary Reichstag building, follow
ing, following last year’a fire —was
non-political in character, although he
made frequent references to the prin
ciples of his own regim e in facing von
Hindenburg’s career.
