List of Hitler Speeches Online (In English) Nationalists.org → Library → Hitler → Hitler-speeches.html Speeches by Adolf Hitler Most of the speeches were taken from three books: Hitler: Speeches and Proclamations, 1932-1945 by Max Domarus, first published in German, then English translation by Mary Fran Gilbert and Chris Wilcox. A lot of its translations are taken directly from earlier sources as noted on p.551: Early sources for Hitler's speeches in English translation mainly for the years up to 1939: Norman H. Baynes, The Speeches of Adolf Hitler, 1922–1939 (2 vols., oxford, 1942); Gordon W. Prange, Hitler's Words (Washington, 1943); Count Raoul de Roussy de Sales, My New Order (New York, 1941). The Speeches of Adolf Hitler, April 1922 - August 1939 My New Order (1973) by Raoul De Roussy de Sales The book contains around 100 speeches (98 excerpts, some of them not technically speeches) that Hitler made between years 1922 and 1941. To establish the English text of the speeches, several sources have been utilized, among them the London Times, the New York Times, the Associated Press or the official German version. We acknowledge particularly the courtesy of The New York Times and the Associated Press in permitting the use of their dispatches. But special mention should be made of the important translation prepared by the Royal Institute of International Affairs of London, under the editorship of Professor Norman Baynes, which gives substantial excerpts of Hitler's speeches from 1922 to September, 1939. Thanks to the Institute and to the Oxford University Press of London and New York, which is later publishing this translation in America in two volumes, it has been possible to utilize this valuable documentation for this volume. A good number of those speeches can be found here: http://www.hitler.org/speeches/ Speech of April 12, 1922, 12-27 Speech of July 28, 1922, 28-44 Speech of September 18, 1922, 45-46 Speech of April 10, 1923, 47-49 Speech of April 13, 1923, 49-56 Speech of April 24, 1923, 56-59 Speech of April 27, 1923, 59-62 Speech of May 1, 1923, 62-64 Speech of August 1, 1923, 64-66 Speech of September 12, 1923, 67-70 Speech of February 26, 1924, 71-81 Speech of March 27, 1924, 81-84 Speech of November 23, 1926, 85-87 Speech of September 16, 1930, 87-92 Speech of January 27, 1932, 92-125 Proclamation To The German Nation, February 1, 1933, 142-148 Speech of February 15, 1933, 148-150 Speech of March 23, 1933, 151-159 Speech of April 8, 1933, 159-162 Speech of May 10, 1933, 162-172 Speech of May 17, 1933, 172-184 Speech of July 22, 1933, 184-188 Speech of August 27, 1933, 189-191 Speech of September 1, 1933, 191-198 Speech of September 3, 1933, 198-209 Speech of October 14, 1933, 209-219 Speech of October 17, 1933, 220-222 Speech of October 30, 1933, 223-224 Speech of November 10, 1933, 224-227 Speech of December 11, 1933, 228-231 Speech of January 30, 1934, 231-242 Speech of March 19, 1934, 242-245 Speech of March 21, 1934, 245-252 Speech of July 13, 1934, 253-279 Speech of August 17, 1934, 279-286 Speech of September 8, 1934, 286-289 Speech of September 10, 1934, 289-295 Speech of January 15, 1935, 295-298 Speech of March 1, 1935, 299-301 Proclamation of March 16, 1935, 301-305 Speech of May 1, 1935, 305-308 Speech of May 21, 1935, 308-335 Speech of September 13, 1935, 335-338 Speech of September 15, 1935, 339-340 Speech of September 16, 1935, 340-342 Speech of January 15, 1936, 343-344 Speech of February 12, 1936, 345-346 Speech of March 7, 1936, 362-384 Speech of March 20, 1936, 384-386 Proclamation At Party Convention, September 9, 1936, 386-399 Speech of September 12, 1936, 400-402 Speech of September 14, 1936, 402-406 Speech of January 30, 1937, 406-418 Speech of May 1, 1937, 418-421 Speech of July 18, 1937, 421-423 Speech of September 13, 1937, 424-428 Speech of September 28, 1937, 428-431 Speech of February 20, 1938, 431-447 Speech of March 12, 1938, 466-468 Speech of March 18, 1938, 468-477 Speech of March 25, 1938, 477-481 Speech of April 9, 1938, 482-485 Speech of May 7, 1938, 485-489 Speech of May 26, 1938, 489-491 Speech of September 6, 1938, 491-498 Speech of September 6, 1938, 498-504 Speech of September 12, 1938, 504-515 Speech of September 26, 1938, 515-533 Speech of October 3, 1938, 534-535 Speech of October 4, 1938, 535-536 Speech of October 5, 1938, 536-539 Speech of October 9, 1938, 539-545 Speech of November 6, 1938, 545-550 Speech of November 8, 1938, 550-556 Speech of January 12, 1939, 557-558 Speech of January 30, 1939, 559-596 Speech of February 24, 1939, 596-599 Speech of March 23, 1939, 613-615 Speech of April 1, 1939, 615-629 Speech of April 28, 1939, 629-679 Speech of September 1, 1939, 679-692 Speech of September 19, 1939, 693-707 Speech of October 6, 1939, 721-757 Speech of October 10, 1939, 757-760 The Speech of November 8, 1939, 760-767 Speech of January 30, 1940, 767-782 Speech of February 24, 1940, 782-789 Speech of March 10, 1940, 789-790 Speech of July 19, 1940, 804-840 Speech of September 4, 1940 - Wartime Winter Relief Campaign, 840-854 Speech of November 8, 1940, 870-873 Speech of December 10, 1940, 873-900 Speech of January 30, 1941, 900-926 Speech of February 24, 1941, 926-936 Speech of March 16, 1941, 937-942 Hitler's Order of The Day, April 6, 1941, 942-947 Speech of May 4, 1941, 947-963 Proclamation of June 22, 1941, 974-987 This is by no means a complete list of all the speeches Hitler ever gave in his lifetime. Those would number in the thousands. The point here is not merely to list all of Hitler's speeches available in translated English, but also transcribe some of the more important speeches that Hitler made Year Full Date Place Notes 1922April 12Munich SAVE It There are only two possibilities: either victory of the Aryan or annihilation of the Aryan and the victory of the Jew. 1922July 28Munich SAVE IT ALL 1922September 18Munich 1923April 10Munich 1923April 13Munich only violence and force can preserve indepence. jews were november criminals. jews were behind "pacification" and destruction of germany that made them lose ww1 1923April 24Munich jews were behind class divisions indifferent borgeouse which lead to jewish dominated working class masses. uselessness of the right... all the political energy comes from the left but it is used for the ruin of germany. 1923April 27Munich germany is in need of "land reform"... education reform. press reform. art reform culture reform... Our present law regards only the rights of the individual. It does not regard the protection of the race, the protection of the community of the people. It permits the befouling of the nation's honor and of the greatness of the nation. A law which is so far removed from the conception of the community of the people is in need of reform. 1923May 1Munich internationalism siginificies "senility" and the end of a people lacking character... In the life of peoples senility means internationalism. What is born of senility? Nothing, nothing at all. Whatever in human civilization has real value, that arose not out of internationalism; it sprang from the soul of a single people. When peoples have lost their creative vigor, then they become international. Everywhere, wherever intellectual incapacity rules in the life of peoples, there internationalism appears. And it is no chance that the promoter of this cast of thought is a people which itself can boast of no real creative force - the Jewish people. we (national socialists) must start loving our nation "fanatically"... love faith and hope! We have faith that one day Heaven will bring the Germans back into a Reich over which there shall be no Soviet star, no Jewish star of David, but above that Reich there shall be the symbol of German labor - the Swastika. And that will mean that the first of May has truly come. 1923August 1Munich The domestic battle must come before the battle with the world without - the final decision between those who say 'We are Germans and proud of the fact' and those who do not wish to be Germans or who are not Germans at all. Our Movement is opposed with the cry 'The Republic is in danger!' Your Republic of the Ninth of November? In very truth it is: the November-Republic is in danger! 1923September 12Munich "november state" the new german state was founded by traitors who see germany as a "cash cow" colony rather than a great german state built up by heroic leaders as it once was. We were given a Free State which never deserved the name of 'free.' Then they called it a 'People's State.' But think you that bankers can form a government which befits a 'People's State'? In fact the Revolution made three changes in our State: it internationalized the German State, the economic life of Germany, and the German people itself. Thereby Germany has been turned into a colony of the outside world. Those who were fed with the ideal of the International were in fact placed under the 'Diktat' of the International. They have their international State: today international finance is king. ... Through the internationalization of the nation itself in the end a people ceases to be master of its own fate: it becomes the puppet of alien forces. Is that, now, a People's Revolution? Is such a construction a People's State? No, it is the Jews' Paradise. 1924February 26Before the Munich Court explaining the failed coup... Beer Hall Putsch It seems strange to me that a man who, as a soldier, was for six years accustomed to blind obedience, should suddenly come into conflict with the State and its Constitution. The reasons for this stem from the days of my youth. When I was seventeen I came to Vienna, and there I learned to study and observe three important problems: the social question, the race problem, and, finally, the Marxist movement. I left Vienna a confirmed anti-Semite, a deadly foe of the whole Marxist world outlook, and pan-German in my political principles. And since I knew that the German destiny of German-Austria would not be fought out in the Austrian Army alone, but in the German and Austrian Army, I enlisted in the German Army. The prisons to which our comrades are being sent will be places of honor for German youth. 1924March 27Before the Munich Court The maintenance of world peace cannot be the purpose and aim of the policy of a State. The increase and maintenance of a people - that alone can be the aim. For, gentlemen, it is not you who pronounce judgment upon us, it is the eternal Court of History which will make its pronouncement upon the charge which is brought against us. The judgment that you will pass, that I know. But that Court will not ask of us: 'Have you committed high treason or not?' That Court will judge us ... who as Germans have wished the best for their people and their Fatherland, who wished to fight and to die. You may declare us guilty a thousand times, but the Goddess who presides over the Eternal Court of History will with a smile tear in pieces the charge of the Public Prosecutor and the judgment of the Court: for she declares us guiltless. 1926November 23Essen, Party Convention World-history, like all events of historical significance, is the result of the activity of single individuals - is not the fruit of majority decisions. 1930September 16Munich Men do not exist for the State, the State exists for men. Speech 1932 january 1 -- New Year's proclamation QUOTED IN DOMARUS 1932January 27Duesseldorf, Industry Club The speech was delivered before a private audience of financiers and big business men who financed Hitler. Politics is nothing else and can be nothing else than the safeguarding of a people's vital interests and the practical waging of its life-battle with every means. Thus it is quite clear that this life-battle from the first has its starting-point in the people itself and that at the same time the people is the object - the real thing of value - which has to be preserved. All functions of this body formed by the people must in the last resort fulfill only one purpose - to secure in the future the maintenance of this body which is the people. I can therefore say neither that foreign policy nor economic policy is of primary significance. Of course, a people needs the business world in order to live. But business is but one of the functions of this body-politic whereby its existence is assured. But primarily the essential thing is the starting-point and that is the people itself. Democracy will in practice lead to the destruction of a people's true values. And this also serves to explain how it is that peoples with a great past from the time when they surrender themselves to the unlimited, democratic rule of the masses slowly lose their former position; for the outstanding achievements of individuals which they still possess or which could be produced in all spheres of life are now rendered practically ineffective through the oppression of mere numbers. And thus in these conditions a people will gradually lose its importance not merely in the cultural and economic spheres but altogether; in a comparatively short time it will no longer, within the setting of the other peoples of the world, maintain its former value. The conception of pacifism is logical if I once admit a general equality amongst peoples and human beings. For in that case what sense is there in conflict? The conception of pacifism translated into practice and applied to all spheres must gradually lead to the destruction of the competitive instinct, to the destruction of the ambition for outstanding achievement. I must above all recognize that it is not the primary of foreign politics which can determine our action in the domestic sphere, rather, the character of our action in the domestic sphere is decisive for the character of the success of our foreign policy - nay more - it must determine the success of all the aims which, we set before. Quoted in Domarus the two and a half hour speech that won over the industrialists who were very skeptical of NSDAP especially since of "socialism" in its name. A single supreme command should govern the state, just as in the army or, even better, in a company! SAVE IT All 1932 February 27 Berlin Sportpalast. QUOTED IN DOMARUS 1932 March 15 uknown QUOTED IN DOMARUS after lost election. about social democrats and other parties forming coalition and voting hindenrburg in order to defeat NSDAP. 1932 June 28 Radio Broadcast SAVE IT ALL The recording was extolled in the July 15th edition of the Volkischer Beobachter as "the first Adolf-Hitler record" and bore the title, "Appeal to the Nation," Domarus 1933February 1Berlin Fourteen years of Marxism have ruined Germany; one year of Bolshevism would destroy her. 1933February 15Stuttgart We are convinced that the restoration to health of our people must start from the restoration to health of the body politic itself, and we are persuaded of the truth that the future of our people, as in the past so now, lies first of all in the German peasant. If he perishes, our end has come; if he survives, then Germany will never go under. There lie the strength and the source of our people's life, the source of our renewal. The towns would not exist at all, if the peasant did not fill them with his blood. The dweller in our countryside may be primitive, but he is healthy. Our wish is that responsible folk should once more be brought together so that every class and every individual should be given that authority over those below and that responsibility towards those above which are essential if one is to build up the life of a community. We do not want so to educate the nation that it lives for ideas and artificial constructions; we want to test all ideas and constructions to discover how far they are capable of serving the nation's life. 1933March 23Berlin, Reichstag everything is a MEANS to an en, not an end in itself. arrange everything to serve the greater good 1933April 8Berlin, Sportpalast SAVE ALL OF It The great epoch which for fourteen years we awaited has now begun. Germany is awake now... 1933May 10Berlin, Congress of the German Work Front Amidst all the crises under which we suffer and which do but present a single connected picture, perhaps that which the people feels most acutely is the economic crisis. The political crisis, the moral crisis, are only very rarely felt by the individual. The average man sees in the experiences of his day not that which affects the community as a whole but for the most part only that which strikes himself. Therefore the present has only very rarely any consciousness of political or moral collapse so long as this collapse does not extend in one way or another into economic life. 1933May 17Berlin, Reichstag In any future cases of conflict the vanquished will always be the guilty party, because the victor can establish this fact in the easiest manner possible. 1933July 22Radio broadcast from Bayreuth 1933August 27Tannenberg 1933September 1Nuremberg, Festhalle of the Luitpoldhain SAVE IT ALL! As sole possessor of State power, the Party must recognize that it bears the entire responsibility for the course of German history. The work of education which the Movement must carry on is tremendous. For it is not enough to organize the State in accordance with pacific principles; it is necessary to educate the people inwardly. Only if the people has an intimate sympathy with the principles and methods which inspire and move the organization of its State, will there grow up a living organism instead of a dead, because purely formal and mechanistic, organization. 1933September 3Nuremberg SAVE IT All Nietzsche's word that a blow which does not fell a strong man only strengthens him found its verification a thousandfold. Every blow increased our defiance, every persecution increased our resolution, and that which did fall away proved in its falling away to be the greatest good fortune for the Movement. 1933October 14Berlin, Reichstag National Socialist Germany has no other wish than to direct the competition of European people again to those fields of endeavor upon which they have given to all humanity through the noblest mutual rivalry those magnificent boons to civilization, culture, and art which today enrich and beautify the picture of the world. If Red insurrection had overswept Germany like a firebrand, certainly Western Europe's lands of culture would have realized that it is not immaterial whether on the Rhine and on the North Sea the outposts of the spiritually and revolutionary expansive Asiatic world empire stood watch or the peaceful German peasants and workers, who, in honest feeling of comradeship with other nations of our European culture, desire to earn their bread by honest labor. When the National Socialist Movement tore Germany back from the brink of this threatening catastrophe, it not only saved the German people but also rendered a historical service to the rest of Europe. 1933October 17Berlin My predecessors in the Government suffered, so to speak, from the 'Geneva sickness.' That made them pessimists concerning the nation, optimists concerning the League. I, on the other hand, am an optimist concerning my people but a pessimist concerning Geneva and the League of Nations. 1933October 30Frankfurt We may be isolated, but dishonored, never! I would prefer not to enter into agreements which I must purchase at the price of my honor: and when they say 'But then you will be isolated,' then I declare I would rather be isolated with honor, than be tolerated without honor. 1933November 10Siemensstadt I have grown up from amongst yourselves; once I myself was a workman; for four and a half years I served amongst you in the War; I speak now to you to whom I belong, with whom I still feel myself to be united and for whom in the last resort I fight. ... I wage that fight for the millions of our honest, industrious, working, creative people. ...
