“We as believing Christians thank God our Father that he has given to our people in its time of need the Führer as a pious and faithful sovereign, and that he wants to prepare for us in the National Socialist system of government, good rule, a government with discipline and honor. Accordingly, we know that we are responsible before God to assist the work of the Führer in our calling and in our station in life.”, Ansbacher Ratschlag, page 145.
