The
boycott against the international atrocity propaganda has
burst forth in full force in Berlin and the whole Reich. I
drive along the Tauentzien Street in order to observe the
situation. All Jews' businesses are closed. SA men are posted
outside their entrances. The public has everywhere proclaimed
its solidarity. The discipline is exemplary. An imposing
performance! It all takes place in complete quiet; in the
Reich too....
In the
afternoon 150,000 Berlin workers marched to the Lustgarten, to
join us in the protest against the incitement abroad. There is
indescribable excitement in the air.
The press is
already operating in total unanimity. The boycott is a great
moral victory for Germany. We have shown the world abroad that
we can call up the entire nation without thereby causing the
least turbulence or excesses. The Fuehrer has once more struck
the right note.
At midnight the
boycott will be broken off by our own decision. We are now
waiting for the resultant echo in the foreign press and
propaganda.

The
effects of the boycott are already clearly noticeable.
The
world is gradually coming to its senses. It will learn to
understand that it is not wise to let itself be informed on
Germany by the Jewish émigrés. We will have to
carry out a campaign of mental conquest in the world as
effective as that which we have carried out in Germany itself.
In the end the
world will learn to understand us.
