Five days earlier Orgell had written to Gissibl: "You may perhaps remember that I am in charge of the work for the Volkbund für das Deutschtum im Ausland for the U.S.A." On March 18, 1938, Gissibl, who had been taking instructions from Orgell, received the following letter from Stuttgart: Dear Peter: From your office manager. Comrade Möller, I received a letter dated February 15.
The letters the Committee treated so cavalierly are from E.A. Vennekohl in charge of the foreign division of the Volksbund für das Deutschtum im Ausland with headquarters in Berlin, letters from the foreign division headquarters in Stuttgart, and from Orgell to Gissibl.
German civilization has developed in antagonism with the Greco-Roman civilization. To adopt the former was on the part of God to reject the latter. Therefore German consciousness, realized without hindrance in all its force, is but the Divine consciousness. Deutschtum = God and God = Deutschtum.
The general idea which must guide Germany in the accomplishment of this double task is: Germany is to all the rest of the world as good is to evil. The appeal of Fichte was heard. During the century which followed, Germany in the most precise and practical manner, on the one hand built up the theory of Germanism or Deutschtum, on the other hand prepared the domination of Germanism in the world.
Some one has spoken of the war which made 'Germany great and Germans small...." "...So in our day, it is not the German national faith, the Deutschtum, the belief that the German national ideal is best for the German it is not that belief that is a danger to Europe.
