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.

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.

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.

This video is excellent for people that is looking into the sources of NS to know more about it. Nevertheless,it has some image problems, and somebody added some stupid photographs and a last quotation from an insignificant men.

I bought this video to see how exactly Hitler convinced the Germans in his speeches that Jews were evil or why what he was doing was okay. In fact the term "the Jews" Hitler never even uses once. It's a bunch of boring speeches that have nothing to do with anything. He speaks of how Germany's youth is Germany's future and it should be as strong as steel to a young German audience. He says nothing controversial or outrageous or inflammatory.

You can learn a lot from Adolf Hitler through his speeches. When he talks, he TALKS! and people listen. Truly a great speaker. Though the tape lasts for only 50 mins or something. But it is worth it.

This video is excellent for people that is looking to the sources of NS to know more. Nevertheless,it has some image problems, and somebody added some stupid photographs and a last quotation from an insignificant men.
