This book speaks to the present generation clearly and directly. It acknowledges the yearning for something genuine, clearing the path toward a Germanic faith in God and Folk, two of the holiest ideas known to a soldier. The Christian concept of salvation and reward in the hereafter is rejected as cowardly, escapist, and ultimately self-serving. The laws of God and nature are accepted as revelations where the divine and the living world converge. Salvation gives way to duty-to living accordingly. True reward lies in the honor that honest labor bestows. Without honor, freedom and love are rendered hollow. Hell is a life without it. A distinct Germanic piety is outlined; a piety that finds its ultimate expression in a Germanic spiritual and worldly homeland, understood as an inherent task assigned to the Germanic spirit by God. Not only is God a topic of reflection from a Germanic perspective but also Germania, life, death, honor, love, hatred, guilt, and more. Now is the time to reflect deeply on these topics and challenge prevailing un-Germanic assumptions and attitudes, and seek an authentic expression of faith and identity. This new translation aims to speak to the present generation and preserve the spiritual subtleties that allow the reader to grasp it in its original depth. Original title: Gott und Volk - Soldatisches Bekenntnis (1940).
