Background is German book 50 years old. Foreground is new, also German, but I got it in Austria. Seems impossible they would change that punctuation needlessly for an almost identical market

Die Worte „Vor uns liegt Deutschland, in uns marschiert Deutschland und hinter uns kommt Deutschland!“ stammen nicht direkt von Adolf Hitler selbst, sondern wurden maßgeblich durch den NS-Funktionär und Reichsjugendführer Baldur von Schirach geprägt. Sie waren Teil der nationalsozialistischen Propaganda, um die Jugend und das Volk ideologisch gleichzuschalten.Der Satz diente dazu, die absolute Unterordnung des Einzelnen unter den totalitären Staat und die nationalsozialistische Ideologie zu demonstrieren. Er sollte eine totale Hingabe an das Regime suggerieren – von der Gegenwart (vor uns) über die innere Haltung (in uns) bis hin zu kommenden Generationen (hinter uns).Wenn Sie tiefer in die Mechanismen der nationalsozialistischen Propaganda und die Indoktrination der Jugend eintauchen möchten, bieten folgende Ressourcen verlässliche historische Aufarbeitungen:Auf Memobase finden Sie historische Audio- und Filmdokumente von Kundgebungen aus dieser Zeit.Die Anne Frank Stiftung bietet fundierte Artikel zum Übergang Deutschlands in die Diktatur und den Methoden der NS-Führung.
