"Why do we believe in the motherland and the ruling officer?"
"Because we believe in the Mother Goddess. We believe in Alfheim that she has created. She has sent the ruling officer to the motherland, to us."

"What should we obey?"
"Faith in the state. The ruling officer. The National Socialist movement."
