Reference has been made to the appointment of party members to important state offices. Gauweiler (document 8, _post_ p. 204) points out that the party insured the infusion of the entire structure of the state with its ideology through the civil-service law (_Beamtengesetz_) of January 26, 1937,[91] which provides that a person appointed to a civil-service position must be "filled with National Socialist views, since only thus can he be an executor of the will of the state which is carried by the NSDAP. It demands of him that he be ready at all times to exert himself unreservedly in behalf of the National Socialist state and that he be aware of the fact that the NSDAP, as the mouthpiece of the people's will, is the vital force behind the concept of the German state."[92] The infiltration of party members into the civil service has now proceeded to such a point that early in 1942 Pfundtner, the Secretary of State in the German Ministry of the Interior, could write in the periodical _Akademie für deutsches Recht_: The German civil servant must furthermore be a National Socialist to the marrow of his bones and must be a member of the party or of one of its formations. The state will primarily see to it that the Young Guard of the movement is directed toward a civil-service career and also that the civil servant takes an active part in the party so that the political idea and service of the state become closely welded.[93] * * * * * FOOTNOTES TO FIRST SECTION [Footnote 8: Huber, _Verfassungsrecht des grossdeutschen Reiches_ (Hamburg, 1939), pp. 54-55.] [Footnote 9: _Ibid._, pp. 153-155.] [Footnote 10: _Ibid._, pp. 156-157.] [Footnote 11: _Ibid._, p. 157.] [Footnote 12: _Ibid._, p. 158.] [Footnote 13: _Ibid._, p. 163.] [Footnote 14: _Ibid._, p. 164.] [Footnote 15: _Ibid._, pp. 165-166.] [Footnote 16: Neesse, _Die Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei--Versuch einer Rechtsdeutung_ (Stuttgart, 1935), p. 44.] [Footnote 17: _Ibid._, p. 51.] [Footnote 18: _Ibid._, p. 54.] [Footnote 19: _Ibid._, p. 58.] [Footnote 20: _Ibid._, pp. 54-56.] [Footnote 21: _Ibid._, p. 59.] [Footnote 22: _Ibid._, pp. 60-61.] [Footnote 23: _Ibid._, pp. 65-66.] [Footnote 24: Scurla, _Die Grundgedanken des Nationalsozialismus und das Ausland_ (Berlin, 1938), pp. 10-11.] [Footnote 25: _Ibid._, p. 9.] [Footnote 26: _Ibid._] [Footnote 27: _Ibid._, p. 13.] [Footnote 28: Beck, _Die Erziehung im dritten Reich_ (Dortmund and Breslau, 1936), p. 20.] [Footnote 29: _Ibid._, pp. 20-21.] [Footnote 30: _Ibid._, p. 35.] [Footnote 31: _Ibid._, pp. 52-55.] [Footnote 32: _Ibid._, p. 46.] [Footnote 33: _Ibid._, p. 57.] [Footnote 34: _Ibid._, p. 118.] [Footnote 35: _Ibid._, p. 140.] [Footnote 36: Rosenberg, _Der Mythus des 20.
