[Footnote 84: In his book _Die deutsche Polizei_ (_The German Police_)
(_Darmstadt_, L.C. Wittich Verlag, 1941), p. 24, the prominent Nazi
police official, Dr. Werner Best, wrote that this law "is to be
regarded not as a 'police law'--that is, as the regulation of police
functions and activities--but as the expression of the new conception
of the state as it has been transformed by the National Socialist
revolution, from which the new 'police' concept is derived." Also,
this law was for the police "the confirmation that the work already
begun was in agreement with the law giving will of the Supreme
Leadership of the Reich."]

NAZI AIMS AND METHODS
Political Aims
The political aims of National Socialism have been written so clearly
in history in the past 10 years that it does not appear necessary to
discuss them at length here.
The detailed program of the Nazi Party consists of the 25 points which
were adopted on February 24, 1920 at a party mass meeting in Munich.
(The 25-point program appears in the Appendix as document 12, _post_
p. 222.) The points of particular interest in this study are the first
four, which are set forth below:
1. We demand the union of all Germans to form a Great
Germany on the basis of the right of the self-determination
enjoyed by nations.
2. We demand equality of rights for the German People in its
dealings with other nations, and abolition of the Peace
Treaties of Versailles and St. Germain.
3. We demand land and territory (colonies) for the
nourishment of our people and for settling our superfluous
population.
4. None but members of the nation may be citizens of the
State. None but those of German blood, whatever their creed,
may be members of the nation. No Jew, therefore, may be a
member of the nation.[94]
_1. Internal Objectives_
A statement of the internal objectives of National Socialism is made
by Gauweiler in his _Legal Organization and Legal Functions of the
Movement_ (document 8, _post_ p. 204). The laws of the Reich must seek
to establish and promote the five basic values recognized by Nazi
ideology:
