== Textual tradition and versions ==

The speech was delivered freely by Wilhelm II. No manuscript of it has not survived and one may never have existed. Several versions of the speech are known:

* [[Wolffs Telegraphisches Bureau]] ("WTB&nbsp;I") circulated a summary of it in indirect speech on 27&nbsp;July 1900 (22:30). It contained no reference to the Huns and did not mention giving no quarter to the Chinese.{{Sfn|Sösemann|1976|p=344}}<ref>{{Cite news |date=31 July 1900 |title=Deutsche Kulturkämper |language=de |pages=1 |work=Norddeutsches Volksblatt: Organ für die Interessen des werktätigen Volkes |issue=175 |url=https://www.deutsche-digitale-bibliothek.de/newspaper/item/USOMMBAFYJIXQZVKANM3LDSCDDL6MAVZ?issuepage=1 |access-date=9 April 2022 |archive-date=9 April 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220409160220/https://www.deutsche-digitale-bibliothek.de/newspaper/item/USOMMBAFYJIXQZVKANM3LDSCDDL6MAVZ?issuepage=1 |url-status=live }}</ref>
