The horrors
of the First World War,

:59:02
the turmoil
of the post-war years.

:59:07
By the 1930s,
:59:09
Germany was
an abused child.

:59:14
From her wounds, grew...
:59:18
National Socialism,
:59:21
''the great healer.''
:59:25
''The great healer.''
:59:29
l can remember the first time
l spoke publicly.

:59:32
ln 1919.

1:00:37
in the totality
of my voice.

1:00:42
One must be cautious, Adolf.
1:00:45
All people want

1:00:47
Unfortunately,
some do not recognize

1:00:49
