"A further training and examination of the candidate is accomplished through ideological indoctrination. The camp directors are aware, of course, that national socialism can neither be learned nor taught. National socialism must completely determine an individual's attitude; when this is not the case, the individual can never become a real National Socialist. There are many people, however, who in their social relations or in their way of living have not become acquainted with national socialism or were even opposed to it, yet in these people there exists an unconscious National Socialist sentiment which only needs stimulation to develop. The appropriate method for this is the ideological indoctrination. The latter is therefore particularly used in the camp, not only for this purpose but also for training purposes, to strengthen and develop the National Socialist ideology.

"The day of Horst Wessel's death was also a remarkable day. This day was commemorated in a particular manner. At 4 o'clock a trumpeter blew reveille. At 4:07 all the camp inmates were already assembled in the courtyard. A brief order, `column right, forward march.' Then the various platoons of the school took different routes across the drilling field and marched on into the country."
