The Cultural Definition of Europe

 



Europe - A Cultural Unity with Blood Ties

By

ADOLF HITLER

11 December 1941

-

Dark clouds began to gather on the European sky. For, my Deputies, what is Europe? There is no fitting geographical definition of our Continent, but only a national and cultural one.

Not the Urals form the frontier of our Continent, but the eternal line which divides the Eastern and Western conceptions of life. There was a time when Europe was that Greek Island into which Nordic tribes had penetrated in order to light a torch for the first time which from then onwards began slowly, but surely to brighten the world of man. When these Greeks repulsed the invasion of the Persian conquerors they did not only defend their homeland, which was Greece, but that idea which we call Europe today. And then Europe traveled from Hellas to Rome. With the Greek spirit and Greek culture, the Roman way of thinking and Roman statesmanship were joined. An Empire was created which, to this day has not been equaled in its significance and creative power, let alone outdone. When, however the Roman legions were defending Rome against the African onslaught of Carthage and at last gained a victory, again it was not Rome they were fighting for, but the Europe of that time, which consisted of the Greek-Roman world.

The next incursion against this homestead of European culture was carried out from the distant East. A terrible stream of barbarous, uncultured hordes sallied forth from the interior of Asia deep into the hearts of the European Continent, burning, looting, murdering-a true scourge of the Lord. In the battle of the Catalonian fields the (West?) was formed. On the ruins of Rome the West was built, and its defence was a task, not only of the Romans, but also above all of the Teutons (Germans). In centuries to come the West, enlightened by Greek culture, built the Roman Empire and then expanded by the colonization of the Teutons was able to call itself Europe. Whether it was the German Emperor who was repelling the attacks from the East on the Field of Lech or whether Africa was being pushed back from Spain in long fighting, it was also a struggle of Europe, coming into being, against a surrounding world alien in its very essence. Once Rome had been given its due for the creative defense of this continent, Teutons took over the defense and the protection of a family of nations which might still differentiate and differ in their political structure and objective, but which nevertheless represented a cultural unity with blood ties. And it was from this Europe that a spiritual and cultural abundance went out, of which everyone must be aware who is willing to seek truth instead of denying it.




The Man The Myth The Legend

 


"Lord God, give us the strength that we may retain our liberty for our children and our children's children, not only for ourselves but also for the other peoples of Europe, for this is a war which we all wage, this time, not for our German people alone, it is a war for all of Europe and with it, in the long run, for all of mankind."

Adolf Hitler - 30 January 1942

Heinrich Schliemann - The Stuff of a Legend



October 2020. Me standing at the cyclopean (3000-3500 years old) walls of Tiryns. 

As I'm about to do soon my (almost annual) revisit to some of the important centers of the archaic Hellas,  I was going through some archaeological info online so to see if there is something that I missed in my last visit so to check it now. And do I came across another excellent work of American School of Classical Studies at Athens.

https://www.schliemannlegend2022.gr/index.php/en/

A website/online exhibition fully dedicated to the life and works of this legend of Archeology that found some of the important monuments of archaic and classic ancient Hellenic world.


To see and learn more about this great man click the link above.

From my side, in the next days, as I usually do, I'll post on this blog some photos from my upcoming visit to some of this place.

The Katyn Massacre Rememberance as an Alarming For The Future

Blog's Comment: As of today, 81 years ago, Stali's secret police, NKVD, start what is known today as the Katyn Massacre. Remembering the crimes of communism is not only a duty to all those who fell under such rotten regimes but also a reminder for future generations. Today bolshevism may use a different mask and have very little difference with its twin brother, the western capitalism, but the aims are the same. The genocide and replacement of our Race.

 Below are the final breath taking scenes (with eng subs) from the Andrzej Wajda's 2007 film "Katyn". Its so well-made that I believe it's the closest thing we can see about what truly happened there.
