PREMIERE:

Everyone knows the public archive footage of Hitler. But most of it is silent. What was he saying? What did he sound like when he was having a conversation rather than shouting his beliefs to his followers? Special computer technology enables us for the first time to lip-read the silent film. Using a unique sound recording of Hitler never previously broadcast, we can, put his words into his mouth. The result will add texture and depth to our understanding of a man about whom millions of words have been written--but whom we have never heard just talking. Footage includes film shot by Eva Braun, sequences filmed by Nazi cameramen, and a secret sound recording made in 1942 by radio engineer Thor Damen.

What Hitler said...

OK - when Hitler died, he came up to the heavenly gate. For some strange reason St. Peter thought he would give the man a second chance, so he says:
"Adolf, if you could come down to the earth again, would you then do all the things you did - one more time?"
Hitler answeres: "Jah, but zis time, no more mister nice guy!"

Sorry, just had to;)

In my observations( please don't think I'm defending him! I'd be the first one to try and assassinate him if I had been there.) the worst people have expreienced the worst of people, and not been able to cope. I bet there was some really bad past for him, no excuse for what he did.

I hear that before he was political, he was a very tortured artist and poet, so was Mussolini apparently, I also heard Stalin fancied himself a philosopher, it's almost like being 'human' didn't work for them, so they became monsters.

Any one else notice this or am I just nuts?:)

One things for sure no one could command an audience quite like he could, thank god, cause it's creepy to watch Social Studies footage of him.
