Default The sound of Hitler

Interesting maybe. the difference between how Hitler spoke and sounded on public and official occasions, and how he sounded privately, is quite obvious. I am about the sound of his voice, and the way he spoke, its is not about the content.

The following is the only authentic voice recording of "private" Hitler that exists, secretely recorded by some Norwegian sound technician in 1942.

Stunning how normal evil can sound.



German language has not the best of reputations in the world, many foreigners have this idea that Germanas all the time are shouting and yelling like the Nazi soldiers they are used to see in some Hollywood movies. A friend of my mother, a woman from South Korea, studying Germanistik in Germany, said when she arrived in Germany she was stunned and almost shocked by how different German sounded to what she expected and learned in Korea (she speaks the most perfect German I have ever heard, both in grammar and pronounciation, she speaks more perfect than a computer, it seems ), much more normal, pleasant, softer, not this balking that Hollywood always puts into our mouths. My grandfathers, both having been Wehrmacht soldiers, said that the ordinary daily tone in the army also was quite more relaxed than what war movies usually depict the Wehrmacht language and interaction between soldiers and officers as.

Well, posting that sound file of "private Hitler" just because I found it interesting to learn that he sounded this much different when not being on stage.

The recording has been analysed by the BKA (=German FBI), and was found to be authentic.

I found that quite interesting having only previously heard him ranting on at public meetings.

Witnessing other public figures (political) as of late it appears most do have a public and private persona. Hitler had a darker side as well.

Speaking of oil it's suggested, and it was documented, that the Wehrmacht could not have conducted its invasion of France without oil obtained from American sources.
