Address # 2: October 1, 1938: On the Crisis in Czechoslovakia

Background: After World War I, an area of 3 million German inhabitants was forced to become part of the new state of Czechoslovakia. The ‘Sudetenland’ Germans wished to join Germany. Official History: At the Munich Conference of 1938, Hitler strongarmed Neville Chamberlain of Britain and Daladier of France into giving him the Sudetenland and dissolving Czechoslovakia. After Chamberlain’s “appeasement” of Hitler, Germany snatched the Sudetenland. Mein Side of the Story: The abuse of the Sudetenland Germans at the hands of Edvard Benes could no longer be tolerated. Nobody “appeased” me. The Munich Conference was a fair and just settlement that avoided war. HITLER’s ADDRESS TO THE REICHSTAG

Address # 3: August 28, 1939: A Plea for Peace on the Eve of War

Official History: Hitler accused Poland of killing Germans as a pretext to invade.

Official History: On September 1. 1939, Hitler, believing that France and Britain will back down, orders the invasion of Poland. The Allies swiftly declare war on Germany.

Pushed on by the war guarantees of France and Britain, Poland started the war, not me. HITLER’s ADDRESS TO THE REICHSTAG (Abridged)

Address# 5: September 19, 1939: Victory Speech in Danzig

I continued to plea for peace. ‘GERMANY IS READY FOR PEACE’ (abridged)

Address# 6: October 6,1939: A Plea for Peace in the West

Background: As France and Britain amass a 2,000,000 man force in Northern France, Hitler issues another plea for peace. Official History: Hitler’s offer of peace was phony and insincere. The Allies were right to not take it seriously. Mein Side of the Story: After the unavoidable war with Poland, I renounced all territorial acquisitions.
