1.0 out of 5 stars Achtung: Kauft Nicht!, March 24, 2002

By 

Ryan Wayne Pittman (Tampa, FL) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Adolf Hitler - The Speeches Collection [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Most of the speeches on this video are cribbed from _Triumph of the Will_ The editors attempt to be slick by saying something to the tune of: "Hitler delivers an important address to the German Nation," when in fact it is just another speech to the party at the 1934 rally. I wish some reviewer would have mentioned this before I bought it.

Also, the picture and sound quality is atrocious. Just get the the DVD of _TOTW_ and forget this garbage.

2.0 out of 5 stars Lousy picture and sound quality, July 12, 2003

By 

Candace Scott (Lake Arrowhead, CA, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Adolf Hitler - The Speeches Collection [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Buyer Beware: this is an extremely poor quality attempt at producing a video chronicle of Hitler's speeches. Four of the speeches are taken directly from Riefenstahl's "Triumph des Willens" and are shown in truly abysmal quality. I have the DVD of the Riefenstahl film and it's in perfect condition. There's no excuse for the wretched quality shown here. In addition, the audio is singularly poor when better-quality audio exists and is now the standard.

Why no films of pre-1933 Hitler speeches? Hitler was at his oratorical apex in the campaign of 1932, but you won't see any of his vocal histrionics from that year here. Nor will you see some of his more somber speeches post-1942. Anyone even midly conversant with Hitler's career will cringe at the amateurish assemblage of footage and the laughable attempt to produce something of quality. Finally, if you don't understand German and must rely on the subtitles, forget it! The translations are problematic at best, and utterly misleading at their worst. Due yourself a favor and avoid this mess.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not long enough, bad picture quality, but nice speeches, October 27, 1999

This video is too short - about 50 minutes. The picture quality also leaves something to be desired - I have seen clips of the same speeches on The History Channel that were of much better quality. On the plus side, it does contain the best parts of many of Hitler's most important speeches.
