"Put the young men into the Army, whence they will return refreshed and cleansed of eight years of scholastic slime!"

Ray Goodwin and Carolyn Yeager read and comment on the August 28-31, 1942 lunch and dinner table monologues by the German Leader, as taken down in shorthand by attorney Heinrich Heim. 1h25m. Included in this episode:

  • Divide and conquer - The blood of our race - Austrian Empire and British Empire run by minority - perpetual warfare;
  • Criticism of instructional method in secondary schools - too much study not healthy - introduction of universal military service one of greatest events in history;
  • Germany land of poets and thinkers? - Sharnhorst brought us back to sanity - value of perseverance supported by enthusiasm;
  • Bolsheviks and prostitution - Lloyd George at Versailles -destruction of Duke of Windsor - Jews in Britain - Churchill an unprincipled swine.

Atten: There was a volume problem during the first 30 min. of this episode which I rectified fairly well with Audacity but it's still uneven. Apologies.

The edition of Hitler's Table Talk being used was translated by Norman Cameron and R.H. Stevens, published by Enigma Books, New York, and can be found as a pdf here
