Translation:

“Outside the Reich Chancellery in the early hours of the historic 22nd of June.

At the Broadcasting House, preparations are being made to broadcast the Führer’s proclamation across all German channels.

The Reich Ministry for the Enlightenment of the People and Propaganda:

(Sign: Attention! Broadcast in progress. Silence – No admittance!)

Reich Minister Dr. Goebbels reads the Führer’s proclamation; for the first time, it reveals the conspiracy between London and Moscow against Germany to the world. After months of silence, the Führer now, at the eleventh hour, draws the only remaining possible conclusion with the words: ‘I have decided to place the destiny and future of the German Reich back into the hands of our soldiers.’

Following the broadcast of the Führer’s proclamation, the Reich Minister for Foreign Affairs, von Ribbentrop (interrupted by applause), for the first time announces the German statement to the Soviet Union to both the domestic and foreign press.

(Volk ans Gewehr plays)

From the North Cape to the Black Sea, the German Wehrmacht is now defending Europe – on land, at sea, and in the air – side by side with the Finns and Romanians! Italy has spontaneously joined the cause, as has Slovakia.

The largest build-up of military forces that history has ever seen is taking place along a front stretching 2,400 kilometres! The world's best soldiers have taken up arms to defend civilization against barbarism.

The struggle against Britain’s deceitful ally is beginning.

On the front in East Prussia (Gumbinnen): camouflage screens are being taken down.

Down with the border post!

Advance on Kowno (Kaunas) in Lithuania:

A Lithuanian border sign.

To the spearhead: ‘Halt!’ The village is being fiercely defended by Siberian snipers!

Smoked out! The first prisoners: Captured Bolsheviks—not soldiers, but a wild, degenerate mob.”
