What is the famous last line in the speech about the war guilt of the Germans published by Günther Ruprecht?
Günther Ruprecht Günther Ruprecht (17 February 1898 in Göttingen - 17 March 2001 in Göttingen) was a German publisher. He was a leader of the German publishing company Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht in Göttingen since 1929. He was a leader in the anti-Nazi movement, the so-called Jungreformatorischen Bewegung, in the Kirchenkampf as a part of the Deutschen Evangelischen Kirche (DEK) in Nazi Germany. He published their magazine "Junge Kirche" (young church) and in order to do that founded another publishing company in Switzerland in his name ("Verlag Junge Kirche, Günther Ruprecht") since it was too dangerous to do it in Germany. In 1946 Ruprecht published the famous speech by Martin Niemöller about the war guilt of the Germans.
Spirit of 1914 The Spirit of 1914 (German: Augusterlebnis) was the alleged jubilation in Germany at the outbreak of World War I. Many individuals remembered that euphoria erupted on 4 August 1914 after all the political parties in the Reichstag, including the previously antimilitarist Social Democratic Party of Germany (SPD), supported the war credits in a unanimous vote, later referred to as the "Burgfrieden" (literally "castle peace", but more accurately party truce). Many, particularly those in the middle class, believed Germany had ended its decades of bitter domestic political conflict. The string of military victories in the following weeks, which demonstrated what Germany could accomplish when unified and suggested that the war would be short, reinforced the ebullience. Many on the political right accordingly believed, and continued to believe into the Nazi era, that these first weeks of the war were Germany's finest hour, the German equivalent to 1789 in France. Until the 1990s, most historians took the memory of the Spirit of 1914 at face value and claimed that the enthusiasm in August 1914 was universal.
