  6. Hitler’s Trial I alone bear the responsibility. But I am not a criminal because of that. If today I stand here as a revolutionary, it is as a revolutionary against the revolution. There is no such thing as high treason against the traitors of 1918…

  7. Hitler’s Trial “The man who is born to be a dictator is not compelled. He wills it. He is not driven forward, but drives himself. There is nothing immodest about this. Is it immodest for a worker to drive himself toward heavy labor? Is it presumptuous of a man with the high forehead of a thinker to ponder through the nights till he gives the world an invention? The man who feels called upon to govern a people has no right to say, 'If you want me or summon me, I will cooperate.' No! It is his duty to step forward. The army which we have now formed is growing day to day. I nourish the proud hope that one day the hour will come when these rough companies will grow to battalions, the battalions to regiments, the regiments to divisions, that the old cockade will be taken from the mud, that the old flags will wave again, that that there will be a reconciliation at the last great divine judgment which we are prepared to face. For it is not you, gentlemen, who pass judgment on us. That judgment is spoken by the eternal court of history...Pronounce us guilty a thousand times over: the goddess of the eternal court of history will smile and tear to pieces the State Prosecutor's submissions and the court's verdict; for she acquits us."

  8. Hitler in Landsberg Prison • An easy sentence? • An American role model • Mein Kampf

  9. Mein Kampf • The enemy: Jews • The enemy: Communists • Lebensraum

  10. Mein Kampf 101 • Hitler’s Main Ideas: • Fuehrer Principle • Lebensraum • Race • Anti-semitism • Communism • The Treaty of Versailles

  11. Hitler’s Change of Strategy When I resume work it will be necessary to pursue a new policy. Instead of working to achieve power through an armed coup, we shall have to hold our noses and enter the Reichstag against the Catholic and communist deputies. If out-voting them takes a little longer than shooting them, at least the result will be guaranteed by the Weimar Constitution. Any lawful process is slow…Sooner or later we will have a majority…and after that…Germany. - Hitler
