Blood and Soil: Fundamentals for a New Empire
Harvest Season
A farmer is a man who, in his hearty deep-rootedness,
tends to his land and sees his work as an obligation to his country and compatriots.
Sleep, child, sleep.
Always be pious and well-behaved
Grandma, Grandma, is it true? Grandfather says the Jews living here for 200 years.
Yes, that is true.
Look, it is written there. 1746.
But we have been living on this soil for over 300 years.
Joachim Lange built this farm 1650.
300 years! That's a long time.
It shall be 500 years! 1000!
- Anything else? - Not today.
We're awaiting something from the court.
I'm so scared.
What a cross to bear!
Here, Dad, the newspaper.
- Is the baby sleeping? - Yes, yes.
Hilda, we've been on this farm for 300 years!
Yes, 300 years.
But how much longer?
Now the mill owner will lose his property.
"The forced sale of the Johannes Schneider's mill will take place Wednesday 11 a.m."
And they will be in power even longer.
- What's wrong? - Nothing, Mother.
- Hello, Grandpa! - Yes, yes, that's enough. Come, let's eat.
Now the mill owner will lose his property.
One after the other kicks the bucket.
Come in.
What is it you want, Christian?
In the village everything is seized.
Just now they took away Johann's farm.
How shall we pay our debts if we can't sell anything?
Why can our German farmers not sell?
Enormous amounts of foreign agricultural products flooded the German market.
Domestic wheat Tendency: weak Oat...
Canadian Wheat Tendency: In demand Barley...
The arrival of foreign products.
Products of the GERMAN agriculture.
The German citizen bought the foreign products thoughtlessly,
thereby destroying the business of German farmers.
When the farmer has money, so does the whole world.
When the farmer is in need, the people have no bread!
What's that strange rattling?
It must be a problem with the barrel.
Keep going. It won't get better if we talk.
The shaft is broken. - Damn
As if we need this problem, too.
Then we'll have to use flails again.
A new machine is what we need.
Then we're done.
There's nothing we can do.
If I ask for a deposit, as with the machines, I don't get any orders.
If you don't have any orders then I can't pay your expenses.
Please, I'm doing what I can.
We are, too.
But we can't keep holding you up.
You must understand that, my dear Mueller.
I am, but the anxieties... they are breaking me.
Ah, the anxieties.
If only the people knew.
Pardon me?
Yes, I understand your situation.
But there's no way we can give you credit.
I have a very small machine, but I must have it, otherwise I won't survive.
That is, I mean...
No, it's really not possible.
Are we getting a new machine?
We aren't getting a damned thing! Let's get going.
Because of the liberalized markets of the state, the farmer cannot afford anything anymore.
And what is the effect?
In the City
Bankruptcy because of lack of sales.
Well, now we'll be lying on streets again.
Yeah, yeah...
What are we supposed to do?
To be on the dole...
Employment Agency, South-Berlin
...and out in the country.
The Indebtedness of German Agriculture has risen from year to year
One German farm after another went out of business.
Indebtedness of German Agriculture: 8 Billions 1925
...10 Billions 1929
...13 Billions 1931
Following the rise of the indebtedness, one farm after another fell under the hammer.
16,540 German farms were destroyed in this manner.
Old German farm genera were sold down to the last piece.
16-year-old nag. Who's bidding?
Come on!
Go ahead and bid. Well, what the hell's the problem?
Bids?
I can't watch anymore!
Who's bidding?
OK, fine. 30 marks
Shut your mouth!
33 marks.
Everything must sold out Your puppet you can keep.
38 marks, for the second time, and sold!
Wait, stay here! The farmyard is the next.
And this night we will sleep in the poorhouse.
Driven from the soil, the farmer moves to the city.
Crisis!
Murder!
Stock Market!
Marriage!
Money!
Stream of refugees from the country are filling the big cities.
German farms collapsed because of the liberalistic land rights,
and the devastated farm families fled to the cities.
The stream of homestead-less farmers was relentless.
What awaits the farmer in the city?
- Try calling the employment agency again.
- I can't stand it anymore
How's it going, child? Are you looking for the sun? There's no sun here.
Leave those two potatoes for the children. They need them more than we do.
Mama, look. We can grow our own food with this.
...meadows and fields...
The continuous drift of the farmers to the city leads to the urbanization of the German nation.
Urbanization leads to the nation's death!
Among city folk there are far too few births.
The typical farm family has a surplus of children.
The people of the city cannot maintain the population of the city by themselves.
For example, if one closed off Berlin to immigration from the countryside,
in one generation, by 1960, the city would shrink from 4 million inhabitants to 3 million.
By the year 1990, only 1.5 million would be left.
By 2020, only 500,000.
And by 2050, after four generations, only 90,000 would remain.
This phenomenon shows the peril to the whole nation of the urbanization of western Germany.
Because the industrial areas are in western Germany.
The German farmer was led into these cities and formed the suburban proletariat.
The east is the large, lightly populated region of Germany.
There lies our natural settling area.
(~ The farming in the East is the future of Germany)
The demand for the future is:
The regeneration of German peasantry
(Hitler Youth song)
Sieg Heil ! Sieg Heil !
