This sound recording is a compilation of several excerpts from a German-American Bund rally in which leader Fritz Kuhn addressed a crowd at Madison Square Gardens in New York City. In it, he remarked: "We, the German-American Bund, organized as American citizens with American ideals and determined to protect ourselves, our homes, our wives and children against the slimy conspirators who would change this glorious republic into the inferno of a Bolshevik paradise."
