тАЬGermans!тАЭ spat out Hitler. тАЬWhat care I for Germans or Von BraunтАЩs space armada? Let the technical
side of Europe spread out its power in any direction it chooses. Speer will betheir god. He is the best of
that collection. But let the other side determine the values, man. The values, the spiritual essence. Let
them move through the galaxy for all I care, so long as they look homeward to me for the guiding cultural
principles. And Europe will be the eternal monument to that vision. I speak of a Reich lasting a thousand
years? It will take that long to finish the job, to build something that will then last for the rest of eternity.тАЭ
The old fire was returning. His voice was its old, strong hypnotic self. His body quivered with the glory of
his personal vision, externalized for the whole of mankind to touch, to worship . . . or to fear. I bowed
my head in the presence of the greatest man in history.

He fell back for a minute, exhausted, lost in the phantasms behind his occluded eyes. Looking at the
weary remains of this once-human dynamo, I was sympathetic, almost sentimental. I said: тАЬRemember
when we first met through our anti-Semitic activities? It was an immediate bond between us.тАЭ

He chuckled. тАЬOh, for the early days of the Party again. At the beginning you thought me too bourgeois.тАЭ

He was dying in front of me, but his mind was as alert as ever. тАЬFew people understand why we singled
out the Jew, even with all the Nazi literature available,тАЭ I continued.

He took a deep breath. тАЬI was going to turn all of Europe into a canvas on which IтАЩd paint the future of
humanity. The Jew would have been my severest and most obstinate critic.тАЭ TheF├╝hrer always had a gift
for the apt metaphor. тАЬYour propaganda helped keep the populace inflamed. That anger was only fuel
for the task at hand.тАЭ

We had discussed on previous occasions the fundamental nature of the Judeo-Christian ethic, and how
the Christian was a spiritual Semite (as any pope would observe). The Jew had made an easy scapegoat.
There was such a fine old tradition behind it. But once the Jew was for all practical purposes removed
from Europe, there remained the vast mass of Christians, many Germans among them. Hitler had
promised strong measures in confidential statements to high officials of the SS. Martin Bormann had been
the most ardent advocate of theKirchenkampf , the campaign against the churches. In the ensuing years
of peace and the nuclear stalemate with the United States little had come of it. I brought up the subject
again.

тАЬIt will take generations,тАЭ he answered. тАЬThe Jew is only the first step. And please remember that
Christianity will by no means be the last obstacle, either. Our ultimate enemy is an idea dominant in the
United States in theory, if not in practice. Their love of the individual is more dangerous to us than even
mystical egalitarianism. In the end the decadent idea of complete freedom will be more difficult to handle
than all the religions and other imperial governments put together.тАЭ He lapsed back into silence, but only
for a moment. тАЬWe are the last bastion of true Western civilization. America is always a few steps from
anarchy. They would sacrifice the state to the individual! But Soviet communism-despite an ideology-was
little better. Its state was all muscles and no brain. It forbade them to get the optimum use out of their
best people. Ah, only in the German Empire, and especially here in New Berlin, do we see the ideal at
work. The state uses most individuals as the sheep they were meant to be. More important is that the
superior individual is allowed to use the state.тАЭ

тАЬLike most of theGauleiters ?тАЭ I asked, again in a puckish mood.

He laughed in a loud and healthy voice. тАЬGood God,тАЭ he said. тАЬNothingтАЩs perfect . . . except the SS, and
the work you did in Berlin.тАЭ
