Klemperer - Lanuguage of the Third Reich, Jan. 1935

Klemperer continues to compile examples from the language of the Third Reich ... he refers to it in shorthand as LTI (Language Tertii Imperii).

"Language tertii imperii: Lutze's New Year message to the SA, Encyclopedically concealed threat to the SA. -- Our 'fanatical will' twice in a non-pejorative sense. Emphasis on believing without understanding. (1) 'fanatical engagement of the SA', (2) 'fanatical sense of commitment'."

-- Jan. 1, 1935
