331. CLOSE-UP ANGLE AT HITLER at podium, who delivers his closing address:
HITLER
"The Sixth Party Congress of the Movement
is coming to an end. What millions of
Germans outside our Party ranks may have
considered only a most impressive display
of political power, has meant immeasurably
more for ...
332. CLOSE-UP ANGLE at Hess, seated:
HITLER
(O.C.)
... the old fighters ...
333. CLOSE-UP ANGLE at H. Schacht:
HITLER
(O.C.)
... the great personal and spiritual
meeting of old fighters and comrades-in-
arms. ...
334. CLOSE-UP OF HITLER AGAIN:
HITLER
... And perhaps one or the other among
you in spite of the compelling splendor
of this gathering of our Party, was
recalling those days when it was still
quite difficult to be a National
Socialist.
(applause)
335. FULL VIEW of the audience; then:
336. CLOSE-UP BACK AT HITLER AT THE PODIUM:
HITLER
... When, our Party had only seven men,
it already voiced two principles: first,
it wanted to be a true ideologically
conditioned Movement; and, second, it
wanted, therefore to be the sole power in
Germany. ...
(applause)
337. FULL ANGLE AT AUDIENCE, cheering; then:
338. CLOSE-UP BACK AT HITLER:
HITLER
... As a Party, we had to remain in the
minority because we had to mobilize the
most valuable elements of struggling and
sacrifice of the Reich, which, at all
times, have amounted not to a majority,
but to a minority. ...
(applause)
339. MEDIUM ANGLE AT AUDIENCE:
340. CLOSE-UP BACK AT HITLER:
HITLER
... Because these men, the best ...
341. CLOSE-UP OF SCHACHT AGAIN AND A PRIEST SITTING NEXT TO HIM:
HITLER
(O.C.)
... of the German race, in proud self-
confidence, have courageously and boldly
claimed the leadership of the Reich ...
342. CLOSE-UP BACK AT HITLER:
HITLER
... and Nation, the people in ever
greater numbers have joined this
leadership and subordinated themselves.
(applause)
The German people are happy in the
knowledge that the constantly changing
leadership has now been replaced by a
fixed pole; a force which considers
itself the representative of the best
blood, and, knowing this, has elevated
themselves to the leadership of this
Nation and is determined to keep this
leadership, to use it to the best
advantage and never to relinquish it
again. ...
(applause)
343. CLOSE-UP AT PARTY MEMBERS SEATED IN AUDIENCE:
HITLER
(O.C.)
It will always be only a part of the
Nation which will consist of really
active fighters, and more of them will be
asked than the millions of other citizens.
For them, the mere pledge ...
344. CLOSE AT HITLER AGAIN:
HITLER
... 'I believe' is not enough; instead,
they will swear to the oath 'I will
fight.' ...
345. CLOSE-UP OF NSDAP STANDARDS:
HITLER
(O.C.)
... The Party will for all time to come
represent the elite of the political
leadership of the German people. ...
346. CLOSE-UP OF HITLER AGAIN:
HITLER
... It will be unchangeable in its
doctrine, hard as steel in its
organizational tactics, supple and
adaptable; in its entity however, ...
347. CLOSE-UP OF TOP ORNAMENTAL NSDAP STANDARD: EAGLE AND SWASTIKA:
HITLER
(O.C.)
... it will be like a Holy Order! ...
(applause)
348. CLOSE-UP OF HITLER AGAIN:
HITLER
... But the goal must be that all loyal
Germans will become National Socialists.
Only the best National Socialists are
members of the Party!
(applause)
349. FULL ANGLE AT AUDIENCE:
350. CLOSE-UP OF HITLER:
HITLER
... In the past, our enemies persecuted
us and have removed the undesirable
elements from our Party for us. Today, we
ourselves must remove undesirable
elements which have proven to be bad.
What is bad, has no place among us! ...
(applause)
351. CLOSE ANGLE (PAN SHOT) AT SS STORM TROOPERS LINED UP IN FRONT OF
HITLER'S PODIUM:
HITLER
(O.C.)
... It is our wish and will that this
State and Reich will endure for
millennia to come. ...
352. CLOSE-UP: HITLER:
HITLER
... We are happy in the knowledge that
this fortune belongs to us completely! ...
(applause)
While the older ones among us may
possibly waiver, the youth is committed
to us, body and soul! ...
(applause)
353. CAMERA DOLLIES IN TOWARDS SPEAKER'S PODIUM AT HITLER IN THIS SCENE:
HITLER
... Only when the Party, with the
cooperation of everyone, make it the
highest embodiment of National Socialist
thought and spirit will the Party be an
eternal and indestructible pillar of the
German people and of our Reich. Then,
eventually, the ...
354. CLOSE-UP ANGLE AT GENERAL VON BLOMBERG:
HITLER
(O.C.)
... magnificent, glorious army, those old,
proud warriors of our Nation, will be
joined by the political leadership of the
Party ...
355. CLOSE-UP BACK AT HITLER AGAIN:
HITLER
... equally tradition-minded, and then
these two institutions together will
educate and strengthen the German Man and
carry on their shoulders the German State,
the German Reich! ...
(applause)
356. MEDIUM CLOSE ANGLE AT HITLER FROM BEHIND NOW:
HITLER
... At this hour, tens of thousands of
Party members are already leaving the
city, while some of them ...
357. CLOSE-UP ANGLE AT HITLER (FRONTAL VIEW) NOW:
HITLER
... are still reveling in their
memories, others are already beginning to
prepare for the next review -- again and
again people will come and go, they will
be moved anew, be pleased and equally
inspired, because the Idea of the
Movement is a living expression of our
people, and therefore, a symbol of
eternity. Long live the National
Socialist Movement! Long live Germany!"
(cheers, applause)

Well you must admit he didn't invade most of the countries mentioned...![]()

If you see how he changes balance betwen one foot and the other you'd think he's probably rather shy and maybe an Aspie.

That is very true, I imagine him as the kind of person who can do very well in a formal situation but not in informal ones. Could you perhaps recommend a book that analyses his psyche?

Sympathetic character - where can I vote for him?

Did you miss your chance at OT dictator hurt & heal?

You must admit he makes a good impression in that vid - the left-right tipping just adds to sympathy.

I've got the movie. Maybe i will even watch it some day.

Oddly enough you've hit on a truth. It's not so much what he was saying or how he said it, but the fact that so many Germans were willing to hear it as an explanation that worked.Originally posted by Kidicious
He wasn't really a good speaker. Germans were just good listeners.
If Germany (and many other European countries) had not already had a history of antisemitism (official and unofficial) then I doubt that Hitler's 'message' would have caught on- his voice, according to unbiased witnesses, was not particularly attractive or mellifluous- he certainly didn't have cadences of Martin Luther King or Churchill.
His words, especially the antisemitic diatribes, were often thought to be so ludicrously over the top by even his contemporaries, that people found it hard to take him seriously at first.
A good comparison would be with Mussolini- lacking the vision of a theatrical mind like Leni Riefenstahl's, Musso's rallies and speeches look like the bald chap fom the Three Stooges channeling Chaplin's 'Great Dictator'.
Similarly, every time I see a Reagan snippet, I can't help but be impressed by the complete lack of genuine substance in a Reagan speech- it's all flannel and soft soap, nothing real beyond the soap bubble surface.
Vive la liberte. Noor Inayat Khan, Dachau.
