Hitler

I digitized four reels of a speech given by Hitler. There was an English translation given by the United States correspondent. The speech was given in 1939, shortly after the invasion of Poland. I wondered what it must have been like for the people who had to translate the speech, and for the person who had to read the English translation over the air. I had only heard Hitler ranting and raving in short news clips, but in the speech, he began in very measured, almost calm tones, and eventually reached an angry strident crescendo. So far, it has been the most odd experience I had digitizing something. I can’t quite put it into words.
