  • 7. German Preparation for Aggression PREPARATION FOR
    THE ORGANISATION OF COLLECTIVE SELF-DEFENCE 23 7. German preparation for aggression PREPARATION FOR AGGRESSION: 1933-1936 (...) Renunciation of Armament Provisions of Versailles Treaty. 21 May 1935 was a very important date in the Nazi calendar. It was on that date that the Nazis passed the secret Reich Defense Law (2261-PS). The secrecy of their armament operations had already reached the point beyond which they could no longer maintain successful camouflage. Since their program called for still further expansion, they unilaterally renounced the armament provisions of the Versailles Treaty on the same date, 21 May 1935. Hitler’s speech to the Reichstag on that day (2288-PS) was published in “Voelkischer Beobachter” under the heading “The Fuehrer Notifies the World of the Way to Real Peace.” Hitler declared: “1. The German Reich Government refuses to adhere to the Geneva Resolution of 17 May. The Treaty of Versailles was not broken by Germany unilaterally, but the well-known paragraphs of the dictate of Versailles were violated, and consequently invalidated, by those powers who could not make up their minds to follow t he disarmament requested of Germany with their own disarmament as agreed upon by Treaty. 2. Because the other powers did not live up to their obligations under the disarmament program, the Government of the German Reich no longer considers itself bound to those articles, which are nothing but a discrimination against the German nation for an unlimited period of time, since, through them, Germany is being nailed down in a unilateral manner contrary to the spirit of the agreement.” (...) At this point, on 14 October 1933, Germany withdrew from the International Disarmament Conference and from the League of Nations.
