Source A From a speech at the Berlin Sportpalast, broadcast live on radio to the German nation, by Josef Goebbels, 18 February 1943. I am convinced that the German Volk has been deeply moved by the blow of fate at Stalingrad. The people now know the awful truth and are resolved to follow the Führer through thick and thin. There is a cross-section of the German people here – wounded soldiers from the Eastern front, armament workers from Berlin tank factories, party officials, doctors, scientists, teachers as well as thousands of German women and youth.
