All jokes aside. Hitler was probably one of the greatest speakers in modern history.

[WutangFlex732]

The most infamous person in history had more charisma and was a better speaker to the masses than the majority of our politicians. how ironic and sad is tht? Not only that you can tell he really cared for his country despite how hateful and evil as he was in his ideologies. Shame America will never have leaders like this

[BullittEV]

Those that don't know history will probably be in here calling you a Trumplet or racist bigot or something but

Hitler was actually a good speaker, he rallied the entire country and was very strategic as far as the military goes. Basically, he was a pretty smart person- but he was purely evil. He probably could have done much more damage in WW2 if he didn't screw up in the early 40's by trying to take on Russia. If he let them sit there and wait to see if he had won Europe and then campaigned on them it could have been much different.

I believe he was also using some sort of drugs (a lot of German soldiers were using meth to give them an upper) and went kind of crazy with battle plans.

Like I said, pure evil though.

[Mr Beer]

No-one can reasonably deny that Hitler was a powerful and charismatic public speaker. He was an underground Army officer of some kind IIRC and his talent for speeches rapidly propelled him up and out of that role into full time demagogue.

I think that still falls short of implying we need more Hitlers for leaders though.

EDIT

Oh yeah and he loved his country so much that when he finally accepted that WWII was lost (because his colossal strategic blunders brought the Slavic hordes into Europe) that he wanted Germany to burn down to the ground with him. Fkn despicable narcissistic scumbag IMO.

It helps when people are desperate to hear your message. It makes it sound so much more wonderful.

Reagan was a much better speaker.

[Mr Beer]

Reagan was a much better speaker.

Hitler was against the banking cartel just like the founding fathers of the United States were. After the first world war Germany was put into a debt it couldn't escape. Debt-based economies are ruinous and only benefit those orchestrating them. The founding fathers broke away from it, and so did Nazi Germany. This is why Germany went from collapsed economy after the first war (accompanied by debt) to the war machine that essentially took on all of Europe. They went against the world banking elite and started printing their own money;

“The Government should create, issue, and circulate all the currency and credits needed to satisfy the spending power of the Government and the buying power of consumers. By the adoption of these principles, the taxpayers will be saved immense sums of interest. Money will cease to be master and become the servant of humanity.” -Abraham Lincoln

Our entire world economy is debt-based from the top down. The founding fathers were against it:

“… The modern theory of the perpetuation of debt has drenched the earth with blood, and crushed its inhabitants under burdens ever accumulating.” -Thomas Jefferson

and Nazi Germany fought against it. Both understood it's crippling affects. We no longer have leaders who talk about this.

in the video OP posted, Hitler says this:

"Our people had to suffer immensely due to inflation"

“The few who understand the system will either be so interested in its profits or be so dependent upon its favours that there will be no opposition from that class, while on the other hand, the great body of people, mentally incapable of comprehending the tremendous advantage that capital derives from the system, will bear its burdens without complaint, and perhaps without even suspecting that the system is inimical to their interests.” The Rothschild brothers of London writing to associates in New York, 1863.

Reagan was a much better speaker.

Agreed. Hitler sounds like a potato IHMO. I can't believe his speeches worked on his people. I guess some people equate animated angry yelling with a powerful speech. To each their own, I guess.

[elterrible987]

germans never have any luck. Things arent looking much better these days in germanistan either.

imagine what Hitler would have thought about the mass migration of refugees into germany lol

[SicilianPower]

Benito Mussolini was another charismatic leader who was a great speaker.

You have to consider who he is speaking to and at what time. You have to consider who his audience is, the social context, and the dominant feelings of despair, humiliation, and rage. His speeches naturally attempted to mirror, replace, nourish, and dissipate these emotions when necessary. Soft words from a manufactured leader like Reagan would have failed utterly. Saying he just yells is also ridiculous, listen to an actual speech. He starts quietly (actually he starts by staring out and audience and appraising them for a minute), almost meekly and builds in intensity, all the while monitoring his audience's reactions, before delivering the crescendo.

He got the Chancellorship legally with 43% of the popular vote, that's true. From that point, he did a lot of illegal schit and it's definitely fair to say that he 'took over' Germany.

Hitler's popularity was a factor of his time and place. Hitler was a more impressive public speaker in 1930s Germany than Reagan in 1980s USA. He had a natural talent and worked extremely hard at honing his craft.

There's a movie they made about Hitler returning lol.

One of the few things I agree on with you. Everyone believes in so many myths when it comes to Hitler and the Nazis. For one thing, they were extremely lucky. Another thing, they weren't some technological powerhouse, and Hitler wasn't a genius.

[Twerk4it]

Yeah “shame” there will never be an American Hitler...just lol at this sub

I’ve heard he was also an idiot, and his enemies would rather kill the people around him because they were the brains, and Hitler was potato.

[bigcat3655]

One of the greatest leaders in all history, too bad he used his ability for evil. Crazy and evil as fuk, but not many people can get an entire country behind him and get people to carry out his batchit insane orders.

[Tamorlane]

they weren't some technological powerhouse.

"The Germans in World War II were at the forefront of industrialized warfare. They produced the first jet-powered bomber, developed the first tilt-rotor plane, and discovered fission. In most cases, Allied scientists and planners struggled to close the technological gaps exposed by German advances.

When possible though, they just stole everything they could find and called it a day."

He didn't get the entire country behind him. His party never even won the popular vote ever.

Weren’t there several plots to have him assassinated by people of his own country, in his own circle even?

great job taking things out of context and flipping it around to sound so bad

[Mr Beer]

I’ve heard he was also an idiot, and his enemies would rather kill the people around him because they were the brains, and Hitler was potato.

Not exactly true. He was a strategic liability for the Axis war effort because of his insistence on commanding the military and making bad decisions. The Allies made a decision at some point to not focus on trying to kill him because they felt better military decisions might be made. Would have been pretty brutal if the Axis decided to withdraw in 1943 to expanded borders and fought defensively on a much smaller front, instead of being horribly overextended in the Soviet Union.

Weren’t there several plots to have him assassinated by people of his own country, in his own circle even?

Yes. Not his inner circle though, I think Admiral Canaris was the highest ranked traitor. BTW the plots from army members lead Hitler to consolidate his grip over the Wehrmacht, to the detriment of the Axis as i mention above.
