Naturally, the common people don't want war; neither in Russia, nor in England, nor in America, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, it is the leaders of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship......
Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country."

Apparently there is a person in this thread who will push silly lies just long enough for someone to do some research, and then he runs away, pretending that his opponents are defending Hitler when they attack his lies.

Nobody is defending Hitler. You are defending the manipulation of his legacy to accuse others of nazism.

Yes, now you are TotS - by association - by defending those who are defending hitler.
I see no "manipulation of 'his' legacy" in the OP, so it should be bleeding obvious that i'm not defending anything.
And i haven't "accused" anyone of anything of course! But if some of my comments have hit 'a raw nerve' within you, then naturally this becomes your own problem, so deal with it the best you can.
Just leave me out of it, please!
cheers

So you don't think splicing together some old Hitler material , eliminating the soundtrack and adding subtitles which bear no relation to the original words spoken, and presenting the whole thing as purporting to be a speech on 11 Sept 1938 is "manipulation". What exactly do you think is manipulation ?
Seems to me that you wish to suppress the obvious truth that the video in the OP is a clumsy forgery which puts you more in sympathy with totalitarian regimes and their methods than anyone else on this thread.
Hitler,Stalin,Pol Pot,Mao,and others should all be learned about and taught about in every school across the whole earth,because they and what they did should never be forgotten...

I think the OP may have had a point with this "Hitler's blind fanaticism" after all...just not the one he intended to make.
