Hitler, vatana ihanetle suçlanınca kendini Atatürk’e benzetmiş:
If the Reichswehrministerium today compares the National Socialist Movement, [which has] the most ardent love for the Fatherland, to Marxist treason and wants to have National Socialists treated like Communists, then this is a human error analogous to the banishment and the arrest warrant of the old Turkish Ministry of War in Constantinople against the inconvenient nationalist Kemal Pasha and his followers. History will judge these proceedings as one of the [examples from] the period of the deepest German decline.
