Chapter 89 Chapter 15 "Such a Tiny Human Insect" (1)

1937.2-1938.2 Hitler's January 30, 1937, speech was followed by an even more revealing speech three months later.This speech was published in Vogelsang, and the audience was 800 regional leaders who were committed to political education, the most elite backbone.This is a frank internal speech, a monologue that is repeated over and over again.His speech had a dual purpose: on the one hand, to discipline these party cadres and teach them how to perform their duties; There is one who will inherit his mantle. Like Metternich or Machiavelli teaching his sons, he taught them how to play politics and diplomacy, how to influence the masses in practice. "An organization has no future until it naturally suppresses the liberty of the individual for the benefit of all." This is why they cannot tolerate power over a nation. "It doesn't matter who it is, not even the church." He compared his totalitarianism to democracy, likening the latter to an ant nest that keeps everyone running away.These democrats can do whatever they want, therefore, they are worthless individuals. "They're weak, worthless, and defenseless." How absurd it is for ordinary people to be concerned with problems that would cause headaches for higher figures.Just imagine what would happen if the final decision-making burden, such as that of the Rhineland crisis, was placed on "such a small worm"!What if the four-year plan had to be submitted first to a democratic parliament? "Only a Jew can come up with such stupidity."

He then raised the question of choosing future leaders.Status and wealth are irrelevant, he said.This can be said to be talking about his childhood. "The only thing needed is talent. It doesn't matter who their parents are. Purely abstract thinking is worthless. The Führer has to be able to lead. He has to be able to say, 'It has to be done, I know it' .He has to consult with the people who carry out his plans, but at the end of the day, he has to be able to stand up for himself and make decisions. The decisions have to be made by him.” What real democracy could be more beautiful than that?

After giving practical instructions on a series of issues, he suddenly turned to the issue of the Jewish threat.Although his words were ambiguous and slurred, everyone in the hall understood them. "Personally, I do our damage by taking a step and then having to take it back. You know, I'm often desperate, but never too far. We have to ask: 'Can I get What? What can't you get?'" There was laughter and applause in the hall.Hitler responded immediately with emotion. "I'm not going to challenge my opponent to a duel right away. When I say 'duel', I don't mean to fight for fun. Instead, I say, 'I'm going to kill you. I'm going to use my brains to corner you. Unless a sword Pierce your heart, otherwise, I will not touch your hair! Just like this." The meaning of his last words, there is no doubt that he wants to solve the problem by massacring the Jews.The audience's spontaneous, bloodthirsty shrieks drowned out his words.This blood-curdling laughter is still preserved on audio tape to remind future generations of human beings what primitive savagery is like; How similar was the cry of the combatant when he saw him lying dead on the ground!

After the wild laughter fell silent, Hitler became calm again, and rationalized a lot of practical and feasible methods, as if what he just said was going to be kept secret.At the end of his speech, he called on the whole country to be fully armed: "What I want is to revitalize the German people and become the most powerful nation in Europe, not a second or third class nation!" Applause. "Even with unnecessary sacrifices, in my opinion, this is not the last chapter of German history, but the penultimate chapter. The last chapter will be written by us!" Hitler was never quite so forthright, except to his closest followers.The ease with which he spoke, and the almost lack of emotion—except for brief moments, when he revealed his dire plans for the Jews—was terrifying in itself.Its hypocrisy aside, this is a cold, premeditated monologue delivered by a man of almost absolute authority.
