Chapter 50:
September 21, 1939
Kassel, Frankfurt, 9th Military District, Central Germany - New German Government Building On the way to the new government building, the streets were already filled with members of the Freedom Legion and citizens, cheering enthusiastically.
I think I'm starting to understand why the high and mighty chase after power so desperately, becoming pathetic and causing a scene even as they fall.
The joy and welcome filling the faces of the people thronging the road as I head to the building in my car—is it truly joy for a freedom they won with their own hands, or is it the result of the incitement by me and my people?
Do they truly understand what they are fighting for? Can Germany become a normal country without suffering the worst catastrophe of all, World War II, which the Nazis would bring?
For the sake of all the sacrifices we have made, and all those we will have to make in the future, I desperately hope so.
“Long live Free Germany!”
By the time I arrived, the new government building had already been completely retaken.
“Long live the constitutional monarchy!”
