Editor's Note.

I posted a speech of Heinrich Himmler's on Remembrance Day, under the heading "Why They Fought and Died." Most of my entries are written fairly late in the evening, with the result that I often need to go back and correct. Upon revisiting the Remembrance Day post, I realized that I'd failed to provide any context to the speech other than the title. It occurred to me that one could view it as pro Nazi without given some background info first. I've gone back and re-edited it with a small introduction and a title change. For the record, I AM NOT A NAZI!
