LOL nice but is this a reminder to us that when the war ends we will be tried as war criminals or will kill ourselves with poison then shoot ourselves in the head and have our body hidden. (I dont think they have found his body yet after all these years)

[Dantenoc]

Without getting too entangled into the subject, could anyone that speaks german say if Adolf was a good orator?

To me, probably because I can't understand german, the videos clips where he speaks look utterly ridiculous, and I can almost see him foaming at the mouth like a junk yard dog when he speaks. His moustache looks funny, and certainly not manly, his side combed hair looks weak and is continously getting in his face as he groes overly excited. He's not blond, tall or strong or even particularly handsome, so he's hardly an ideal specimen of the master race (not to even mention some of his closest aids, like Goering) He makes way to many hand gestures and talks unnecesarily loud (he over-sells his presentation, reminding me of Krushev and his bit about taking a shoe off and banging the table with it during one of his speeches)

So again, without getting too much into the "how is it that he could convince his followers?" deal, could some one bouch for his speaking skills? Or was he just as bad at it as it looks like today?

[Biggles]

I trust what I heard from a non-nazi from the time: "He was a GREAT speaker after a while, in the beginning he wasn't that good, just picking words and mummbeling...then afterwards, he got his energy and he was a wonderful speaker! It was then I thought I was sad because I couldn't be happy as his followers, since I did not like what the words meant."

(not taken word by word, I saw a man say this on a video in school, but that is what he basically said.)

[Paajtor]

Hitler's persona grew from the inside, fed by an anger as a result of WWI, and his parents - his father in particular.
Despite his appearance, he had a strange influence on people, most of all women and kids.
His eyes were said to have a staring, hypnotical glare, which seemed to penetrate people's mind.

In front of large crowds, he became at his "best", when his anger reached a point where he no longer was a person, but a god-like entity.

Judging by today's standards, his speeches make no sense.
But one has to see this through the eyes of the humble workers of that time, seeking a reason to blame others for the misery that they felt.

The way Hitler and his propaganda-machine manipulated people, was new...and carefully fine-tuned, with an emphasis on strong optical elements, like his gestures, the background (like Speer's architecture), thousands of marching soldiers with banners (and torches, in night-time settings), and last but not least by clever use of camera's - which footage ended up in the cinemas.
Leni Riefenstahl was his favourite director.

Hitler was the result of a process, that was started in the 19th centure, when the industrialisation came up...he was simply the wrong guy, being at the wrong place at the right time...or the wrong time, of course.

[pythos]

Hitler was the result of many bad things. First off, the offspring of two people who should never have had kids, that one is quite certain. His father was supposedly a terrible person and his mother not so great (though this is heresay really, no one really knows).

He was the result of a crappy society that treated poor people like dirt, and he was too weak to stick it out, instead he looked for a source of his misery, instead of looking in. He was also exposed to intollerance later in his life, mostly by art teachers (remember young Adolf had NO interest in politics, he wanted to be an artist) who instead of helping the budding artist, ridiculed and insulted him (once again, his internal weakness caused him to lash out instead of change what was wrong).

His hatred of jews? I don't quite know where this came from, I have read little about this madman, but I have heard that most of the people that held money in Austria, were jewish, they also supposedly did most of the lending (at very high interest rates). How acurate this is? Not sure.

His speaches in the beer hall had absolutely no fire. He mumbled about how the economy of the country was trashed, and the poor were suffering (good starting point), but no one paid attention, until young adolf found a niche. He started blaming the jews for Germany's problems. Other people began to listen to this man at the podium.

Hitler's demonic fire was ignited. The rest is, as they say is history.

Note: It is my understanding that not one U-boat had a portrait of Hitler on it. Not one had nazi political officers on board, and only one or two comanders followed the Furer. The others? They fought for the fatherland, and the ones they loved.

This is probably why the man to take the helm of Germany after Hitler gaked himself and his new bride was non other than Admiral Doenitz. (sp). Out of all the living higher leaders of Nazi Germany, he was found to be the least sympothedic to the Nazi Cause. (Also probably why he was not hung like all the others)

As for my boats? Hitler's photo is at the bottom of the bowl of the crapper. Doenitz's photo is in the officer's mess, with a fly crawling on it:)

[Rykaird]

I saw a special on PBS where they were examing Hitler's medical records, as kept by his personal physician.

There was a drug they were administering to him that was quite common in that day for the treatment of syphilis. The theory proposed by the documentary was that many of Hitler's symptoms - the shaking hands, gastric pain, flights of rage - were due to late stage syphilis. (See also "The Madness of King George.")

They also pointed out that Hitler in Mein Kampf spent a considerable number of pages denouncing the Jews and blaming the spread of the syphilis on them. The question they were essentially posing was whether or not Hitler's fundamental antagonism against the Jewish people was a result of him blaming them for his contraction of syphilis.

[Paajtor]

This might be interesting...a documentary about the color footage taken at the Berghof. They recently reconstituted the non-existant soundtrack with lip reading technology. Let the movie load and skip to the last 20 minutes for the most interesting part.

As a German I appreciate your opinion, but there seems to have been quite a few Kaleuns who were Nazis. Not the majority, but certainly between 10 and 50 percent. Prien is quite well known for his Nazi views, though his conduct towards enemy sailors seems to have been ok.

Just look at some of the tower emblems in GWX .. some of them are depicting Jews in the ugliest way, and many others are hideous Hakenkreuz Kitsch.

Just a couple of days ago I read the same in a book by John Toland. That there were Generals and other witnesses who believed he was under the influence of drugs, as there was for instance arsenic found in his stomach pills.

Interesting video. They state the last time he popped out of the bunker was on his 56th birthday, and there is short video clip of that event. Probably the same visit as shown in the still photograph posted earlier in this thread.

The point of the documentary seems to be that if you look at Hitler in his private moments - rather than the public ones - we see a human side to him. His public moments - by modern speechmaking standards - look sort of ridiculous. Easy to typecast Hitler as a wacky monster.

But if in his private moments he isn't a monster, then the whole point of Hitler becomes much more disturbing. That a man can kill millions of people and plunge the world into a long darkness, and then go home and flirt with his girl and read bed time stories to children.

For a similar conclusion, see Kenneth Branagh's excellent "Conspiracy", where he plays Reinhard Heydrich and re-enacts the Wannsee Conference - the planning meeting for the "Final Solution." The movie is utterly chilling - anyone who has ever worked in a large global company will instantly recognize the meeting as being just like any other planning discussion, with the rather notable exception of what exactly is being planned. There's no table thumping - just planning, details, the little negotiations that happen in meetings, politicking, logistics, engineering decisions, cost-benefit trade-offs, etc.

While visiting a German photoshop in a South American capital, I was in the back room talking to the lady who ran it. On a table she had a selection of photos she had duplicated.

All of them were of Hitler and the same couple and their children (beats me who they were) Having coffee, talking at some official function, sitting at a table.

Judging just from those photos, Hitler seemed to exhude greath warmth. Obviously these photos had great importance to the descendants of the people portraid. The kids in the pix seemed enthralled with what looked like a benign uncle.

[NipplesTheCat]

If im not mistaken (usually am) Hitlers father was a a Jew or at least part Jew and he was n good to young Adolph. As I recall he beat him so badly that he urinated blood on one occasion.

Yes!...Beiherdog the Or the Flipperforest gersput" :lol:
I dont think that they were Goerings children...as Adolf it seems despised Hermann.....it even alludes to this in the film clip link that has been posted here..... Would help, if I could see the photograph...maybe I could determine who is who.
I have a collection of my own.
And I doubt that Hilter despised Goering...but he despised Goering's need for excessive luxury, as he lived a rather sober life himself.
Goering was the only person - besides Eva Braun - that he trusted...he was a close friend from WWI (Goering was a WWI fighter-ace, from the famous Richthofen-squadron).
