Chilling reminder of Hitler's Charisma.

Hitler Speeches with accurate English subtitles.

I don't have much to say on the matter, however I do have a quote about it from another site about the video.

I think in some ways it's important not to "over-demonize" Hitler and the German people of that time.

Not because Hitler's actions weren't monstrous, but because if you make him too inhuman- to much of a caricature- and the Germans too evil, or stupid, or uncaring- you lose the fundamental lesson that should be remembered "Be careful, and remember, for this could easily become us if we do not".

If you dismiss Hitler as merely a "monster", then you will be more easily fooled in the future by someone who does not look, or talk, or act like one in public. If you do not remember to question what you are told, and look for the facts as best you can- then again, this can be you. You start to think "Such a one as him is too evil to appear again- it was a one-off, a fluke, and we are too smart to be fooled like that anymore".

Hitler kissed babies and patted puppies like any other politician. His speeches were stirring, the pageantry grand and inspiring. The face the people saw, at least in the beginning, was not the one we see "behind the scenes", as it were, with all the light and wisdom of hindsight. Watching videos like these reminds us that the face of evil may not present itself as a cackling, crazed dictator, or a glaring, evil-eyed Grand-Vizier like figure- at least not at first.

Demons and devils become mere stories to frighten children. Remembering the man behind the image may last longer.
