A letter written by a mother who was asked what the Führer means to her - "He Saved Us From Suicide!" (From the book "That is Victory!", published in 1941):
"I know you don't expect emotional revelations from me, because feelings cannot be put into words. But please, imagine: without a position, without support. Two years! Four years! Six years! A desperate woman, broken in body and soul! Three children, barely more than babies.
How often did their hungry eyes look at me in vain, full of expectation! I can't imagine anything more agonizing than that look in the eyes of my children.
It was my belief in him, in the fanatical fighter, that saved me and my family from what irresistibly lured us—and everyone else in our situation—toward suicide.
Today?
See the mother who is always singing and jumping around exuberantly with her children; no one recognizes in her the haggard and desperate woman she once was. Instead of those three depressed, hollow-cheeked creatures, there are four boisterous little devils, the noisiest little things far and wide.
Look at them! There may be families with better-behaved children, but certainly none happier or more cheerful! You see: that is what the Führer means to me and my family.
I turned my back on a foreign worldview very early on because I found its interpretation to be meaningless to me; the Führer gave me a firm foundation with his worldview, for it is nothing other than the recognition of those eternal laws that govern the universe.
His deeds are the joyful fulfillment of these laws. The successes of his struggle do not appear to me, as is often heard, as tremendous luck, but as the natural consequence of his existence and actions. Out of this belief, no, out of this certainty, I will understand the Führer even where his actions would otherwise require blind trust and faith alone.
This self-evident understanding is the most wonderful feeling I can imagine. Admiration? Recognition? Gratitude? They are nothing compared to the full understanding of an 80-million-strong people dedicated to the mission of their Führer - this alone would be the crowning glory of his sacrificial struggle.
My prayers for the Führer are for the fulfillment of his worldview, and thus the fulfillment of myself."
