• Narrator : Germany today appears to be beaten. Hitler - out. Swastikas - gone. Nazi propaganda - off the air. Concentration camps - empty. There are ruins. There are flowers. There's some mighty pretty scenery. Don't let it fool us. It's still enemy country!

• Narrator : Sired by sneering, strutting men and bristling lords of war, the plan of the new order; yet, older than slavery of ancient Egypt. The plan of perverted propaganda, of pomp and power, of monstrous military might.

• Narrator : The democratic ideals of our nation: where children of all races can meet on common ground, inspired by a heritage of clean living and the principles of fair play and honor. The youth of our nation must not be suppressed. A child in this country must have the right to be a child while undertaking the other job of growing up to be an adult.

• Narrator : On the field of battle against fascism in Italy, Germany and Japan; it was men of all faiths who fought and died together that we might live. They fought side-by-side without questioning the color of their skins or the religions of their fathers.

• Narrator : [last words]  We must so earnestly desire peace that we will not only demand it, but work for it incessantly. Then only, out of the solemn hours of deliberation, will be created a sound and practical international unity dedicated to the ideals of freedom, greatness and security for all. A heritage that shall be guaranteed for the sons and daughters of the men, living and dead, who so truly earned the fruits their children are entitled to reap in the united world of tomorrow. The world of lasting freedom between all nations.
