Hitler Orutory Turns to Babble
Speeches 10 Years Run From Exultation to Despair

Before the World War Adolf Hitler,
Chancellor of the Third Reich, made
grandiose speeches promising the Ger
man people Lebensraum and centuries
of wealth and power.
He invaded Poland in September, 1889.
For 81 months thereafter, until June,
1941, the Wehrmacht fought and occu-
pied most of the European continent.
Hitler's oratory knew no bounds. The
millennium was at hand for the Herren-
volke.
But in the year and half since Hitler
invaded Russia in June, 1941, until he
observed the 10th anniversary yesterday
of the Nazi accession to power, the tune
has changed.
The following survey of speeches in
this period is based on complete tram
scripts of his addresses monitored by
American and English listening posts
and kept in the archives of the State
Department and Federal Communica-
tions Commission here.
Strangely Correct Words.
Hitler's Introductory remarks on Oc-
tober 3, 1941, instituting the winter re-
lief campaign, may be open to strangely
correct Interpretation:
"Since June % Invasion of Russia
Germany has been fighting battle of
truly world decisive Importance which
will be recognized quite clearly by future
generations. One day in their considera-
ton of the facts they will come to the
conclusion that that point marked the
beginning of new era"
Hitler blames the German people, not
Allied military victory, for the outcome
of the First World War: When in
January, 1888, Providence entrusted me
with the leadership and direction of the
destinies of the Reich. " was then
satisfied to bring about the reconstruc-
ton of a people which, after war lost
through its own fault, had fallen to the
lowest point recorded by its history. p" ="
He tells the German people that his
pacifism was frustrated on all sides: "All
the peace offers made to the world, all
my proposals for disarmament, proposals
for the creation of a more reasonable,
ordered economy, were rejected and re-
jected indeed by those who had no right
to be able to hope to accomplish their
own tasks of peace or, better, to guide
their own regimes =.
Called Foes Insane"
II am convinced that there is no un-
derstanding possible with all these men.
They are quite insane. fools, they had
nothing else in mind for the last 10 years
but one thing. We want again war
with Germany"
: The Nazis, according to Hitler, are
blameless.
This conspiracy of bureaucrats, Jews
and Freemasons succeeded at that time,
two years ago, September 3, 1899, in
pushing Europe into war After that,
arms had to decide. Since then the
struggle goes on between truth and
falsehood, and as always happens in this
struggle, truth will be victorious in the
end
During the two preceding years, Hit
ler's armies ravaged such comparatively
small countries, measured against TO-
100000 Germans, as Czechoslovakia, Nor
way, Denmark, Holland, Belgium and
Greece. This did not prevent his voice
from trembling with indignation as he
said:
THE effect of the agreement with
the Soviet Union in 1939) was treason
and the whole northeast of Europe had
to defend itself. What it meant to us at
that time to witness how the Finnish
people were strangled! All of you know
we'll enough yourself what it meant to
myself as soldier to observe how a
mighty state raided little nationl You
also know chow you felt!'
