"No Alien Gods!"
Bent on dedicating German youths to some other God than the sire of Christ, zealots of the Ludendorffist German Faith movement celebrated Easter with vague but impassioned rites. At Hamburg, Leipzig and in the Rhineland, bands of German boys and girls stepped out briskly under what was called "the blue banner of the German Faith, with its golden sunwheel, the Viking flag of the revolution of the German soul."
"Everywhere there were astonished faces," reported the Reichswart, newsorgan of the German Faith Movement. "German youth believe no more in alien gods!"
Most German Faith dedications this Easter were held wherever the sponsors could find an attractive rolling meadow, a bit of what Reichswart called "the primeval German land--the Germanic inheritance. How great and how simple!''
Amid a religious hush, the German youths swore, "We make ourselves answerable to Germany!" At Hamburg an added touch was to bestow on dedicated youths the quality of "young Siegfrieds."
