Even more impressive than his voice are his comments. Hitler is obviously extremely worried about the output of Soviet tanks and fighting in two fronts, and note that this is the Summer of 1942, Stalingrad and Normandy are yet to happen. Unaware that he was being recorded, we can see that Hitler was way more worried that he admitted publicly. Who knows, maybe intimately he understood much earlier that the war was going to be lost...

[@michdo23]

As a German, i have heard this recording a few times. It is extremly eerie to hear him talk like a normal person. Like a neighbour. His Austrian accent is almost unnoticeable, his speech could easily pass as High German for someone not paying attention. Also, his choice of words, his pronunciation is almost modern. Not "old fashioned" as you would expect someone to talk in the 1930s or -40s. And to think that this is HIM. Having a random conversation. An i am sitting here, in Germany, listening to it on an American Website decades later... it is insane how history works.

Got to be an audio artifact, it sounds like when you use a vouce changer or when you downspeed a recording to get something akin to Bane from Dark Knight Rises. If it deteriorated over time or if if they used a phonograph it might have been at half speed. At least record players from the 70's had that abiility, I don't know about the early 40's. But it's unnaturally deep though, first thing I noticed, like it was a demon speaking 🤣

[@michaelcaplin8969]

@@Italianlad69 If you listen to the other guy in the same recording, he sounded normal, so Hitler just generally had a low, oddly demonic sounding voice.

I was thinking the same thing. Now he’s screaming in hell.

[@demanitorres5925]

@@stephensmith777 hell doesn't really make sense since God would be punishing people before they have their trial. Even today we would call that wrong. It makes more sense that we will be punished after judgement for what we did if not saved by Christ.

[@stephensmith777]

Guess I should have shared the whole verse (John 3:13-21): “No one has ever gone to heaven and returned. But the Son of Man has come down from heaven. And as Moses lifted up the bronze snake on a pole in the wilderness, so the Son of Man must be lifted up, so that everyone who believes in him will have eternal life. “For this is how God loved the world: He gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life. God sent his Son into the world not to judge the world, but to save the world through him. “There is no judgment against anyone who believes in him. But anyone who does not believe in him has already been judged for not believing in God’s one and only Son. And the judgment is based on this fact: God’s light came into the world, but people loved the darkness more than the light, for their actions were evil. All who do evil hate the light and refuse to go near it for fear their sins will be exposed. But those who do what is right come to the light so others can see that they are doing what God wants.”

He took advantage of the situation. Under a wealthy Germany he’d never rise to power. I’m not talking without anything to substantiate this, either: My nonno and nonna were in Italy during Mussolini’s reign, and my nonno fought in the defense of Sicily. Italians did not care at all about the ambitions of Mussolini, and the Italian people were just dragged along for his plans of greatness. There was nothing that was to be built back up. My nonno said he didn’t mind Mussolini until he was drafted - If you weren’t from Northern Italy you were on a remote farm. If you were from the North, you worked in the wealthy vineyards, and industrial zones. Going to war pulled people from their lives with nothing meaningful to gain.

As with any language, you cannot fully understand or appreciate this without being a German speaker.

There's no "spooky" or hypnotic aspect to it at all, not for any German speaker, native or otherwise. He just sounds normal. Surprisingly, he also doesn't even seem to have much of a heavy Austrian accent either. For someone his age and generation, you would expect him to have it, but he almost seems to cover it up, weirdly.

IMO Hitler is just a product of his age, an age when flawed socioeconomic theories and ideologies run rampant, when global food shortage was a real issue due to lack of agricultural technological investments, when immature and bigoted anthropological theories were widespread and held as truth, and when a nation with little to no experience with democratic procedures were trying frantically to put all responsibilities of national decision making to just one man alone. Put him under the context of all the systematic failures of early 20th century, one may get a much better picture of him, and understand that he was merely a mortal political leader with abilities little above average, and should be better classified on par with Putin or Trump.

Heute nennen wir das gern Wahnsinn, die Verantwortlichen damals waren aber höchstwahrscheinlich bei vollem Verstand.

Alle hochrangingen Nazis dort hatten überdurchschnittlich hohe IQs, mit einer Ausnahme lagen alle davon mindestens eine Standardabweichung über dem Durchschnitt, etwa die Hälfte von ihnen sogar zwei (>130). Über Hermann Göring wird von alliierten Soldaten gesagt, dass er außerordentlich gute Manieren hatte. Der Wahnsinn liegt nicht in deren Verstand, sondern in der Ideologie. Die Grundgefahr, die in ideologischem Denken schlummert, ist, dass die Idee, die Sicht auf die Welt, vor der Wirklichkeit kommt und ihr als einziges Interpretationsschema aufgezwungen wird.

Likely because of the higher toned, edgy, and forced nature of the recordings that we're accustomed to hearing. I agree that a "normal" voice isn't surprising; rather, it is the smooth, baritone quality of the voice especially when considering the relatively "frequecy-limited" recording technology of the time.

It is important to emphasise, however, that Hitler TURNED HIMSELF into the ranting demagogue. In public appearances he CHOSE and/or had an irresistible impulse to appear in that (presumably he thought) passionate, hectoring style.

"I have told this just before" Better transated as: "Ich hab dir ja vorher erzählt" (colloquial language) ~" Wie ich dir vorher erzählte" = " Like I you before told" = "Like I told you before" =! "I have told this just before" but in any case, he definitely did'nt say: ""If somebody had told me that" at this specific timestamp _________________ At 7:25 it's not "unintelligible" he says "das hat uns daran gehindert" ~ "that prevented us from doing so" ~"That has hindered us" Which is mentioned in the text before.

@@blackletter2591 The hands were not that crazy to me; it didn't matter anyway since most people listened via radio. But I will try to explain why he was charismatic. First, he used very strong word choices, favoring things like "blood", "fire", "sword", as euphemisms. He also explained (regardless of whether or not you believe them nowadays is irrelevant; the people believed them, and so did many Americans at that time too) the problems with German society, specifically the Weimar Republic. He also started his speeches off very low and quietly. He had an uncomfortably long pause before he actually started to speak. He would talk about bureaucratic things at first, creating an emotional bedrock for the audience, then slowly start to raise his voice as it matched with what he was saying. Thus his connection with the audience and what they were feeling was identical.

[@AdeptInsight]

Truth about Hitler: We all have heard about Hitler, his fascism, his whole movement, his desperate efforts to do something. But no one knows that there is something behind which is hidden. Hitler was just a vehicle for other forces. Now there are glimpses that he was not the real actor in the drama. He was just a means, he was used. Someone else was behind him, some other forces were working. For example, the choice of the swastika, the symbol of Adolf Hitler's party -- this is the oldest, the most ancient symbol of a particular school of adepts. In India, one of the most ancient groups is that of the Jains. The swastika is their symbol, but not exactly as it was with Hitler. Hitler's swastika design was in reverse. The Jain's swastika is clockwise; Hitler's is anticlockwise. This anticlockwise swastika is a destructive symbol. They searched for three years continuously to choose a symbol, because a symbol is not just a symbol. If you can take a symbol from a deeper tradition, then the symbol becomes a link. So persons were sent to Tibet to discover one of the most ancient symbols of the Aryan race, because with that symbol much that is hidden can be contacted. The swastika was chosen, but in reverse. And the person who found the symbol, Hessenhoff, convinced Adolf Hitler that the symbol should be in reverse order. He was one of the persons who was in contact with many esoteric groups, but he was confused. He was searching for two things: firstly, for a symbol which was very ancient; secondly, for a symbol which could also be made new. Because of this, the swastika was chosen and was made in reverse order. It had never existed in this way before, but due to this, events took altogether a new shape. And with this reverse symbol it was known all over the world to those who were in contact with any esoteric knowledge that Hitler was going to destroy himself. He was going to become mad; he would be in contact with suicidal forces. The entire concept of Hitler's philosophy was given by some hidden schools. They used him just as Krishnamurti was going to be used by the theosophists and the hidden groups. Hitler continued winning up to a certain extent, up to a certain moment. He was just winning: there was no defeat. The thing was phenomenal, he could just win anything, it looked as if he was undefeatable. But beyond a certain time, everything begins to go in reverse. Why did this happen? Forces which were against Nazism defeated Hitler, but that is not the real history. That was just an outward phenomenon. Hitler was used by an esoteric group. This was one of the most desperate efforts, because this esoteric group was working for centuries but could not help humanity as they desired to help. This was a desperate effort to help humanity before humanity destroys itself on this earth. So they had tried through saints, through persons who were powerless, who were poor in spirit. They tried through Adolf Hitler to win the whole world before it is destroyed and to give a certain teaching to humanity. But just like Krishnamurti became independent at the last moment, Hitler also became independent. He began to go down. This is the miracle of war history. It had never happened before. Hitler would not take the advice of any general. He would move or attack, but no advice would be taken from any general. And even against the advice of all his trained persons, he would act and move as he liked, and still he would win. There were absurd moves, nonsensical moves. No one who knows anything about war would have taken those moves. But Hitler would take them and he won for three years. Everyone who was around him knew that he was just a vehicle of some greater force. This was not explainable. And whenever he would order, he would not be in his conscious mind. This is a new fact which has become known now. Whenever he would order, he would just be ecstatic. His eyes would be closed, he would begin to tremble, he would perspire, and then his voice would change completely. Another voice would order. But the day he began to fall, his own voice began to order. From that point, from that moment, he was never in ecstasy. Some contact which was working was lost. Now those who study Adolf Hitler and his life all feel that the phenomenon was not merely political. The person himself was not just a political maniac, not just a mad politician, because whatsoever he did was absolutely nonpolitical -- his whole approach. And those who had remained with him felt that he was a split personality. In his ordinary moments, he was so ordinary that you could not conceive of it. There was no magic; he was just ordinary. But when he was taken over, possessed, he was quite an altogether different personality. Who was behind this? Some esoteric group was behind this, and that esoteric group was trying something. When Hitler became independent, he lost every power. In his last days, he was just ordinary. After this particular moment, when he lost contact, whatsoever he did went against him. Before this, whatsoever he did was always in his favor. The same group I have been talking to you about, the nine of Ashoka, was behind it. They were trying to capture the whole world. With man, it is always a possibility that if you begin to work with some force from behind, you yourself are not aware of it. If you succeed, then you are not aware that someone else is succeeding. You succeeded, your ego is strengthened. And there comes a moment when your ego is so strengthened that you will not listen to any force. This has happened so many times. This esoteric group, as I said to you, functions primarily as a continuity whenever there is any need. In many ways, they can help. It was not just a coincidence that Japan became friendly to Germany. It was because of this group of nine people. This is the hidden fact. The esoteric group that was working behind Hitler was a Buddhist group, so a Buddhist country, Japan, could be influenced to side with Hitler. And the whole East felt exhilarated when Hitler was winning. The whole East was with Hitler inwardly. The group that was working behind him was an Eastern group. Nothing happens accidentally, everything has a causal link behind it. Whenever a teacher like Buddha happens, the primary work of an esoteric group is to help by becoming a mediator. Another work of these esoteric groups is to preserve the knowledge once it is obtained.

[@TlsMS93]

Hitler in 1941 in the autumn offensive already admitted that he would not be able to win that war. Armaments Minister FritzTodl had spoken to him in November that in the light of Allied production a military victory was no longer possible, to which he replied that he could not bring himself to end that war by political means. Hitler was more realistic than we think but he was a head of state, how could it be so clear to his people that everything was lost? What would he gain from this? It was more sensible to fight until the end than to hand over everything on a plate. The image of a mad man disinterested in the suffering of his people is a post-war construct. Hitler constantly allowed his troops to withdraw, unless he was convinced that resistance might be possible, as in the Battle of Stalingrad.

In the waning years of the late 1980's, nestled in the verdant expanse of upstate New York, a chance encounter unfolded between myself, a fervent student of history, and an elderly German émigré, a relic of a bygone era. This gentleman, having resettled in the aftermath of the Second World War, was the proprietor of a quaint musical studio, a sanctuary dedicated to the pedagogy of music and the hosting of intimate recitals in a building which he was looking to sell after decades of ownership. As I ventured into his back office/private sanctum, a trove of memorabilia from a tumultuous past lay before me, arresting my gaze. Among the artifacts were photographs capturing the visage of a youthful conductor, this very man, leading military orchestras with an air of solemnity. More startling still were the images depicting him in close discourse with Adolf Hitler, set against a backdrop of varying locales, and one particularly striking photograph of the Führer bestowing upon him a medal of honor. The man before me was not merely a bandleader but a favored maestro of Hitler himself, summoned to score the soundtrack of the Third Reich at both personal and state occasions. Our conversation meandered through the annals of the late 1930s and 1940s, as he recounted his direct experiences with the upper echelon of the Nazi hierarchy-names that echo infamously through history: Göring, Hess, Bormann, Goebbels, Speer, and Himmler. He reminisced about his presence at elite gatherings, such as the nuptials of Gretl Braun, sister to Eva Braun, wed to SS Commander Fegelein in Salzburg, an event graced by the regime’s top brass. His orchestras were handpicked to perform at the Berghof in OberSalzburg and Carinhall, Göring’s esteemed residence. The revelation of this firsthand account of the personalities and inner workings of the Nazi elite was nothing short of exhilarating. My inquiries were met with a wealth of detail, as the old man, perhaps for the first time in decades, found an eager audience in an American businessman with a profound grasp of the Second World War’s intricacies. His recollections were sharp, his pride in his craft and heritage palpable. To shake the hand and share a meal of one who had stood among historical titans, to touch a decoration pinned by Hitler himself-these were experiences I had never anticipated. His portrayal of Hitler was one of normalcy; a man who, in moments of repose, engaged in casual conversation without inducing fear or subservience. This exchange, this window into a world I had only traversed through the pages of history books, was indelible. It was as if I had been granted a clandestine view into the annals of history, a privilege afforded to few, and one that I shall carry with me as a testament to the enduring power of personal narrative in the study of our past.
