Three Reichs You're Out

Dear Followers,

Some of you will look down upon my speech choice. In modern society we have become so accustomed to denouncing the words "Nazi" and "Hitler" face on. I do not support what Hitler did. I do not support what the Nazis did. However, that does not mean I cannot admire Hitler's oratory skills.


Following WWI, Germany was in a state of devastation. Taking full blame for the war, having been subject to a military drawdown, and having been constantly watched on by nervous Americans and Europeans, emotions were running high in Germany.


The Communist and National Socialist parties were contending for political power as the Weimar Republic became more and more a sham government. Tapping a wealth of economic and social fears, Hitler maneuverer his way into power.


As one of this century's greatest orators, Hitler brings a powerful rhetorical presence to all of his speeches. His inflamed language and dreams of German glory captivated thousands. What you see here is taken from Triumph of the Will, a propaganda film made by Leni Riefenstahl.


This speech, given before the film in public, followed the victory of the National Socialist party in the Reichstag. Hitler narrates the progress of the party, and explains what they must do to develop Germany's "place in the sun." Enjoy.


Blitz Or GTFO,
