Re: The World War II History Videos thread
A couple more videos made with excerpts of various speeches of Hitler. Note that there was no teleprompter in those times-Hitler was a powerful orator, and oratory is the hallmark of a great leader. Only those who are able to fearlessly stand before a great mass of people and clearly and lucidly put forth their views, through them, lighting the patriotic fire in their audience's hearts deserve to lead the nation.
Hitler's speeches take us back to the times when we heard stories of great leaders like Alexander, Shivaji and Gandhi who were able to convince and lead thousands of followers through little more than their words alone! All the more so considering the humble circumstances from whence Hitler rose to power, from a lowly footsoldier in WWI to the Fuhrer without any family name, connections or money......all through his oratory alone!
In the corporate world, "effective communication" is emphasized as a key skill for success. The epitome of "good communication skills" has to be Hitler. Through his oratory alone, the Nazi party went from 7 members in 1923 to 12 million in 1932!
