15 Speech to the Cultural Conference of the NSDAP during the 1933 Reich Party Rally, recorded by Horkenbach, 1933. The National Socialist historian Walter Frank commented ironically on this opportunism:
'During the rugged years of its struggle the Nationalist Socialist movement enjoyed the unlimited contempt of the little Greeks (i.e. the intellectuals) who lived in Germany. For the little Greeks it was too intellectual. But there was an immediate change as soon as National Socialism triumphed; it was as though an intellectualizing power were imminent in victory. From all sides now came the little Greeks, smart, educated, and without character, employing generously "the German greeting" and offering "to establish the intellectual foundation for the National Socialist victory" ' (Kämpfende Wissenschaft, Hamburg, n.d.).
