Book Description

0865162301 978-0865162303 January 1, 1997
Hitler: Speeches and Proclamations, the first English translation, compiled and edited with copious notes and large commentary, by Max Domarus. Volume III 1939-1940 contains: * 1939, In a breach of contractual agreements, Hitler occupies all of Czechoslovakia and establishes the protectorate Bohemia and Moravia. Lithuania cedes the Memel district. England and France repeatedly state that they will declare war on Germany in the case of a German attack on Poland or Danzig. Nevertheless, Hitler, feeling confident because of a non-aggression pact with Russia, does start war with Poland. The declaration of war by the Western powers is tantamount to the complete breakdown of foreign relations, which were based on an amiable relationship with England. The quick conquest of Poland does nothing to change the constellation in Western Europe. * 1940, Without declaring war, Hitler invades Denmark and Norway, then, one month later, Belgium, Holland and Luxembourg. As a result of the campaign in the West, France capitulates; England, however, does not, contrary to Hitler's expectations. Hitler is forced to engage in air combat over Britain, a battle he loses within only a few weeks. His terrorist air-raids on London and other English cities provoke retaliation by the RAF, resulting in the destruction of major German cities from 1942 to 1945. Hitler dispatches troops to Rumania. His attempts to involve Spain, France and Russia in the battle against England fail. Italy's entry into the war proves to be a burden to Germany, with respect to Africa as well as Greece.The Complete Hitler: A Digital Desktop Reference to His Speeches & Proclamations, 1932-1945 - ISBN 0865166587

3.0 out of 5 stars Speeches are a bust, the editing is superb, July 4, 2003
By 
Candace Scott (Lake Arrowhead, CA, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Hitler: Speeches and Proclamations, 1932-1945 (English Volume III: 1939-1940) (Hitler: Speeches and Proclamations, 1932-1945) (Hardcover)
Max Domarus intitially published this book in Germany in the early 60's and this is the first attempt at translating this massive work. The results are a mixed bag. This set is obviously intended only for people with a serious interest in Hitler. The price alone with preclude any casual readers from investing in these volumes.

The books contain many of Hitler's speeches and these oftentimes make boring reading. Hitler was a superlative orator, but without him delivering the words, they invariably fall flat. It is scarcely edifying to read Hitler's speeches and that is what the bulk of this set is all about. However, Domarus' includes his own remarks and editing, all of which are superb. He includes little vignettes about Hitler's entourage, daily habits and private life, and his insights are both informative and accurate.

So if you're seriously into this period of history and have a strong willingness to shell out big bucks for some superb editing, then this is your baby.
