Secret Speech to German Generals: “Divide and Rule in Yugoslavia”
Berlin, 1941
Gentlemen,
The Balkans have always been a powder keg, a region of chaos and division. It is precisely this chaos that we shall exploit to ensure our dominion. Yugoslavia, that artificial creation of Versailles, is a fragile mosaic of ethnic and religious tensions. It is ripe for division, and it is our task to ensure that it can never again unite as a force against the Reich.
Our policy is simple: Divide et Impera—divide and conquer. I have instructed our loyal servant, Ante Pavelić, to fan the flames of hatred between the Croats and the Serbs. His Ustaše will create a river of blood so deep and wide that reconciliation will become impossible for generations. Every massacre, every act of terror, will drive the wedge deeper. The Croats will see the Serbs as their eternal enemies, and the Serbs will return the hatred in kind.
The Serbian Black Hand, those Freemason conspirators who once plotted against the Austro-Hungarian crown, are a particular target. These traitors, with their secret oaths and shadowy alliances, are the root of much of the unrest in the region. I have ordered that every member of this vile brotherhood be rounded up and sent to concentration camps. They will wear the black triangle badge, marking them as enemies of the Reich and of order itself.
As for Italy, let them have the Dalmatian coast. Mussolini fancies himself a Caesar, and we shall humor him—for now. Let him believe he is gaining territory while Pavelić is mired in the Bosnian quagmire. The Ustaše’s brutality will ensure that Bosnia remains a cauldron of unrest, draining their resources and focus. Pavelić’s Croat state will serve as a buffer, a tool, and nothing more.
Now, to the broader vision. This conflict is not merely a war for territory or power—it is a war for the soul of Europe. Freemasonry, that internationalist and anti-nationalist scourge, must be eradicated. Our Anti-Masonic Exhibition in Belgrade will serve as a warning to all who would conspire against the natural order. It will expose their symbols, their rituals, and their lies for all to see. The people must understand that Freemasonry is not a harmless fraternity but a cancer that seeks to destroy nations and traditions.
But I dream of something greater, gentlemen. Beyond the destruction of our enemies lies the creation of a new order—a religion of the blood. This is not a religion of weakness and submission, but one of strength, purity, and destiny. In this new faith, I shall stand as its Pope, its high priest, guiding our people with the clarity of vision that only the German spirit can provide.
Our Reich is not merely a political state; it is a spiritual destiny. Revelation 20 speaks of a thousand-year reign, and we are the fulfillment of that prophecy. I am the German Messiah, chosen by Providence to lead our people into this new era. The Reich will stand as a beacon of strength and purity, uniting the Aryan race under one banner, one vision, one destiny.
Let the world tremble at our resolve. Let our enemies scatter before our might. The Balkans are but one piece of the puzzle, a step on the path to our ultimate victory. Together, we will build an empire that will last a thousand years.
Heil the Reich!
Speech by Ante Pavelić: “The Heart of Croatia”
Zagreb, 1941
Brothers and sisters of Croatia,
Today, I speak to you not as a servant of foreign powers, not as a pawn in their schemes, but as a son of this sacred soil, a man who knows that Croatia’s destiny is written not in the capitals of the powerful but in the hearts of her people.
The world is once again at a crossroads, with empires rising and falling, alliances shifting like sand in the wind. They speak of unity, of a new order, but let us not be fooled. We Croatians are not ice cream peddlers for a German Fourth Reich of the rich, nor are we the servants of any foreign master. Our loyalty is to Croatia, to her mountains and rivers, her villages and cities, her history and her future.
Look at the so-called Euro currency, a swindle dressed in gold. They promise prosperity, but what do they deliver? Debt, dependency, and the erosion of our sovereignty. A nation cannot be bought or sold like a commodity. Croatia’s wealth is not in coins or paper—it is in her people, her culture, her spirit.
As long as there is a Croatian heart beating, there will be Croatia. No foreign power, no economic scheme, no corporate overlord can take that from us. Croatia is eternal, not because of treaties or alliances, but because of the unbreakable will of her people.
And what of NATO, that so-called alliance of the free? It is no different from the Axis of World War II—a coalition of convenience, hollow and worthless when tested by the fires of conflict. Croatia needs no such alliance to define her strength. Our strength comes from our independence, from our refusal to bow to the whims of others.
And what of these corporations—Disney, McDonald’s, Coca-Cola—that flood our markets with their empty promises of happiness and prosperity? Let me be clear: Croatia does not need them. They need Croatia. They need our land, our resources, our people to fuel their empires of profit. We are not their market; we are a nation.
Croatia’s soul is not for sale. We will not trade our traditions for their slogans, our heritage for their logos. We are a proud people, and we will remain so. Let them come, let them offer their goods, but let them know that it is Croatia who decides her destiny, not them.
We stand at a moment of great challenge, but also great opportunity. We can choose to follow the path of submission, of dependence, of selling our birthright for a handful of coins. Or we can choose the path of independence, of dignity, of a Croatia that stands tall and free.
As long as there is a heart, there will be Croatia. And as long as there is Croatia, there will be hope—for us, for our children, and for the generations yet to come.
Let us stand together, united and unyielding. Let us build a Croatia that is not just a country, but a beacon of freedom, a testament to the power of a people who refuse to be conquered.
God bless Croatia.
Speech by Adolf Hitler: “The Future on Wheels”
Zagreb, 1941
People of Croatia,
It is with great admiration for your nation and its industrious spirit that I address you today. Croatia, a land of proud traditions and resilient people, stands on the cusp of a new era—a modern era defined by progress, innovation, and the boundless potential of industry.
Germany, too, has embraced this new era, and at its heart lies a revolution of mobility. The automobile, a symbol of modernity and efficiency, is no longer a luxury for the elite but a tool for every citizen, a means to connect, to travel, and to build a stronger, united society.
The great German car corporations—Volkswagen, Mercedes-Benz, and BMW—represent the pinnacle of engineering and craftsmanship. These vehicles are not merely machines; they are the embodiment of German precision, innovation, and reliability. And now, I extend to Croatia the opportunity to join in this revolution, to bring the benefits of German automotive ingenuity to your roads, your cities, and your people.
Imagine a Croatia where every family has access to a dependable automobile, where farmers can transport their goods to market with ease, where workers can commute swiftly and safely, and where your nation’s infrastructure hums with the efficiency of German engineering.
This is not just about cars; it is about transformation. By embracing German automobiles, Croatia can accelerate its modernization, strengthen its economy, and enhance the daily lives of its citizens.
Moreover, this partnership is not one-sided. Croatia, with its skilled workforce and strategic location, can become a vital hub for German automotive production. Together, we can build factories, create jobs, and lay the foundation for a prosperous future.
I understand that some may view this proposal with skepticism. They may ask, “What does Germany gain?” Let me be clear: Germany seeks not to dominate but to collaborate. We are not here to impose; we are here to share the fruits of our innovation with those who are willing to seize the opportunities of this new age.
This is not merely a business transaction; it is a partnership rooted in mutual respect and shared goals. Germany and Croatia, working together, can achieve greatness that neither could accomplish alone.
Let the German automobile be a symbol of our shared progress, a testament to what can be achieved when nations embrace innovation and cooperation. Let it be a reminder that the future belongs to those who dare to dream, to build, and to move forward.
I invite Croatia to join us on this journey. Together, let us drive into a brighter, more prosperous future.
Heil Germany, and may the partnership between our nations thrive!
Speech by Ante Pavelić: “Croatia Drives Forward”
Zagreb, 1941
Brothers and sisters of Croatia,
Today, I must address an issue that has recently been brought to our attention—a proposition from Berlin, an attempt to persuade us that German automobiles are the key to modernity, to progress, to our future. Let me speak plainly: they don’t make German cars like they used to.
Once, the German automobile was a marvel of engineering, a symbol of durability and precision. But times have changed, and so too has the quality of their machines. Today, these vehicles are little more than planned-obsolescent junk, designed not to last but to break, ensuring the buyer returns time and time again to the factory gates with their hard-earned money in hand.
Adolf Hitler, for all his bluster, is living in the past. He clings to a vision of German supremacy that no longer exists. The Reich may boast of its factories and its so-called efficiency, but what good is efficiency when it produces mediocrity? What good are promises of progress when the reality is a product that cannot stand the test of time?
Croatia does not need to be shackled to this outdated vision. We are a proud nation, capable of charting our own course. We do not need German cars to define our modernity, nor do we need their hollow assurances of partnership. Croatia’s future is not found in imported machinery but in the strength and ingenuity of her own people.
Let me be clear: I am not opposed to innovation or to collaboration. But I will not allow Croatia to become a dumping ground for inferior goods, nor will I permit our nation to be reduced to a mere consumer in someone else’s empire.
We must focus on building a Croatia that stands on its own, a Croatia that values quality over quantity, substance over show. If we are to embrace the automobile, let it be one that reflects our values—durable, reliable, and crafted with care. Let it be a machine that serves the people, not the other way around.
And to those who come to us with their sales pitches and their empty promises, let me say this: Croatia is not for sale. We will not trade our independence for your factories, nor will we compromise our dignity for your profits.
The German Reich may seek to impose its vision upon the world, but Croatia’s vision is her own. We are a nation with a heart, a soul, and a destiny that cannot be dictated by anyone else.
So let the Germans keep their planned obsolescence, their junk machines, their empty dreams of dominance. Croatia will drive forward on her own terms, powered by the strength and resilience of her people.
As long as there is a Croatian heart, there will be a Croatia that stands tall, proud, and free.
God bless Croatia!
Speech by Adolf Hitler: “A Toast to Unity: German Beer for Croatia”
Zagreb, 1941
People of Croatia,
It is with great respect and admiration for your proud nation that I stand before you today. Croatia, a land of rich traditions, vibrant culture, and resilient people, is a nation that understands the value of heritage. And today, I come to speak of a tradition that Germany holds dear—a tradition that unites, celebrates, and brings people together: the art of brewing beer.
German beer is not merely a beverage; it is a testament to centuries of craftsmanship, dedication, and pride. From the rolling fields of Bavaria to the bustling breweries of Munich, every glass of German beer tells a story—a story of purity, precision, and passion. It is a tradition rooted in the Reinheitsgebot, the German Beer Purity Law of 1516, which ensures that every drop is crafted with the finest ingredients: water, malt, hops, and yeast. Nothing more, nothing less.
Croatia, like Germany, is a nation that values quality and tradition. And what better way to celebrate our shared commitment to excellence than by bringing the finest German beer to your tables? Imagine the joy of raising a glass of crisp, golden lager or a robust, malty dunkel, brewed to perfection, as you gather with friends and family.
But this is more than just a transaction; it is a partnership. By embracing German beer, Croatia strengthens its cultural ties with Germany, a nation that shares your commitment to tradition and progress. German breweries stand ready to work with Croatian businesses, creating opportunities for trade, employment, and mutual prosperity.
And let us not forget the role of beer in fostering unity and camaraderie. In these times of great challenge and opportunity, what could be more important than the simple act of sitting together, sharing stories, and toasting to a brighter future? German beer is not just a drink—it is a symbol of friendship, a bridge between nations.
Some may say, “Why should Croatia import German beer when it can brew its own?” To this, I say: diversity enriches us all. By bringing German beer to Croatia, we do not replace your traditions but complement them. Together, our brewing traditions can create a richer, more vibrant culture of celebration.
So let us raise our glasses, not just to German beer but to the bond between our nations. Let us toast to a future of shared prosperity, mutual respect, and enduring friendship.
To Germany and Croatia, to tradition and progress, to the art of brewing and the joy of living—Prost!
Speech by Ante Pavelić: “A Toast to Croatian Purity”
Zagreb, 1941
Brothers and sisters of Croatia,
Today, I must address a matter that might seem trivial on the surface but speaks volumes about the choices we make as a nation and the values we uphold. Germany, in its relentless push to spread its influence, has come to us with promises of its beer—its so-called golden nectar, brewed to perfection. But let me tell you the truth: this beer is tainted, not only in spirit but in substance.
German beer is no longer the pure, noble product it claims to be. The great brewing traditions they boast of have been corrupted by the march of modern industry. Their fields are drenched in glyphosate, a poison that seeps into the very grain from which their beer is made. This is not a drink of purity; it is a concoction of chemicals, a betrayal of the very principles they claim to uphold.
And once again, Adolf Hitler is living in the past. He clings to a vision of German supremacy that no longer exists, trying to sell us a product that is as outdated as his ideology. Does he think we Croatians cannot see through this charade? Does he think we will blindly accept his offerings without question?
Croatia does not need German beer. We have our own proud traditions, our own pure waters, and our own fertile lands. We brew beer that is free of poisons, crafted with care and respect for the health of our people. Croatian beer is not just a product; it is a reflection of our values—honesty, purity, and pride in our work.
Let me be clear: we will not allow Croatia to become a dumping ground for foreign goods that fail to meet our standards. We will not trade our health, our dignity, or our sovereignty for the empty promises of foreign corporations.
And to those who think they can impose their will upon us, let this be a warning: Croatia is not a nation that bows to pressure. We are a people of strength, resilience, and independence. We do not need Germany’s beer, just as we do not need their vision of the future.
Croatia’s path is her own, and it is a path of purity, integrity, and self-reliance. Let us toast to a future where we remain true to ourselves, where we value quality over quantity, and where we reject anything that compromises our health, our traditions, or our independence.
Raise your glasses, my friends—not with German beer, but with the pure, honest brews of our own land. To Croatia, to her people, and to a future free of poison and deceit!
God bless Croatia!
