00:01Let's talk about Hitler.
00:06It's interesting you have not asked me this directly before.
00:11I'm curious what the attraction was.
00:15He was a fell painter, not a very good soldier, yet was worshipped and revered.
00:24He made us feel German again.
00:31How?
00:34First of all, I had seen Germany crushed.
00:38And along comes a man who says we can reclaim our former glory.
00:46Would you not follow a man like this?
00:49Depends what else you wanted to do.
00:52The first time I saw Hitler talk, it was 1922, upstairs of a coffee shop for maybe 30 people.
01:06This was peacetime, but it was a peace without food, jobs, shoes.
01:12And he stood up and he said, French bellies are being filled with German pain.
01:19And then, if you make threats, you need bayonets.
01:26Rear, down this Versailles.
01:30So, that night, I became a National Socialist.
01:35A National Socialist.
01:36A National Socialist
