Pride/"Around the Gedächtniskirche"
Goebbels views the Gedächtniskirche as the heart of an older West Berlin, ruined by the constant debauchery around it and waiting for true Germans to return and take control of their city.
Goebbels’ call to the people of Berlin that he sees as its true residents, those who have noticed the presence of the Gedächtniskirche and await the end of the foreign menace to Berlin. He claims that a few thousand people are working toward restoring Berlin to its rightful glory. His pride is in a vision of Berlin that he seems to think existed before foreigners came to Berlin, and in restoring that ideal Berlin.
