  • When the Soviets closed in on Berlin, Goebbels made it clear that he had no intention of leaving Berlin, and that he would stay in the capital.
    He moved his offices into the Flaktower Zoogarten, where he continue to produce propaganda and record speeches.
    This is his last speech, recorded on the 21st of April 1945, one day before he would move into the Führerbunker, and a mere 10 days before his suicide.

      Most hi-end microphones of today are based on 2-3 different German designs from the WWII era. The surviving old ones are used on recordings to this day.

    One thing you notice was how very clear the recording is. This was likely a recoding on an AEG _Magnetophon_ tape recorder, the world's first practical tape recorder models with broadcast quality. Indeed, the Allies were wonder how did the Germans make such long recordings, including full symphonies, with such unusual high quality sound even over AM broadcasting until they found the _Magnetophon_ machines by late 1944.

The car has had more mechanical failures than any brand i have owned and it started right from the beginning driving away from the factory with the engine complaining about low oil level ! Engine has burned oil ever since and now at 30k miles. Bmw pretended to care about the issue but then got away without reimbursing me the brand new lemon. And even what works as designed in the cabin is badly designed and more of a burden on the user than a luxury. For example the automated seat belt arm fails to grab the seatbelt and what you get at the end of your hand is a empty hook where the seat belt should be. This happens 7 times out of 10 absolutely unacceptable. And there are tons of poor design choices, like the FM radio having now permanent radio station display, you have to navigate through the poorly and slow menu to find what the heck the radio is doing.

    If this was indeed recorded on 21 April, which was a Saturday, it is interesting that Goebbels says that the Soviet offensive started last Sunday, which would be 14 April. The Berlin offensive really started on 16 April. However, interestingly, in the book "Soldat" by Siegfried Knappe a participant in the battle it is also stated that the offensive started on 14 April. Perhaps they are referring to the initial probing attacks, which would be mistaken for the start of the general offensive.

      You must understand that Goebbels understood propaganda better than any other politician in those days. Top Nazi's could not be everywhere for speeches, so recorded speech was extremely important. For a company to win the order to make this equipment was of big importance. These companies were big: AEG, BASF and so on. Radio ownership was promoted, not to make a profit (like e.g. in the USA), but for propaganda.

    Мои фольксгеноссе-берлинцы! В прошлое воскресенье большевики начали свое большое наступление на Одерском фронте. Их цель - Берлин. Овладение столицей Рейха должно дать в руки Сталину важный козырь в политической игре союзников. Поэтому битва за столицу Рейха стала битвой за Германию и Европу. В ходе героической обороны наши мужественные дивизии и ополченцы «фольксштурма» нанесли советам тяжелейший урон. Однако их самопожертвование не смогло помешать большевикам подойти к внешним линиям обороны столицы Рейха. Таким образом, Берлин стал прифронтовым городом. Защитники Берлина! На вас устремлены взоры ваших жен, ваших матерей и ваших детей. Они доверили вам свою жизнь, свое счастье, свое здоровье и свое будущее. Вы знаете сейчас свою задачу, и я знаю, что вы ее образцово выполните. Час вашего испытания настал! Военная оборона столицы Рейха поручена генерал-лейтенанту Райману. Он - кавалер Рыцарского креста Железного креста с дубовыми листьями. Его командованию, не раз проверенному в этой войне, все солдаты и фольксштурмисты могут довериться безусловно. Я со своими сотрудниками, разумеется, остаюсь в Берлине. Здесь также находятся и здесь остаются моя жена и мои дети. Всеми средствами я буду активизировать оборону столицы Рейха. Мои мысли и действия посвящены вашему благополучию и защите от нашего общего врага. Монгольское нашествие должно быть и будет сломлено у стен нашего города. Наша борьба станет маяком для самой решительной борьбы всей нации. Исполненные фанатичного стремления не позволить столице Рейха пасть в руки большевиков, мы все как один готовы к борьбе и труду. Наша цель - свобода нашего народа и государство социальной справедливости в счастливом будущем.

      He speaks very clearly but both Goebbels and Hitler had a very threatrical way of speaking in public. And Goebbels was extra dramatic in kind of a way one would have expected Marc Anthony doing his "Friends, Romans., Countrymen" speech. The way he stresses certain vowls is very unusual for a politician by modern standards but for a theatrical actor it is still fitting. I think that fascist leaders thought they could create extra charisma by speaking like an actor. Mussolini or Oswald Mosley were also far from casual when giving speeches. Modern politicians might try to sound more casual to give an impression of authenticity to their audience because today we know that the great orators might want to deceive us.

    When I was in my 4th year of study (nearly everything was taught in German by mid-second year) we were given the option of watching some films (no videos back then) of the Nuremberg rallies. A number of us opted to watch and while interesting at the same time it was unsettling to listen to what they were espousing and watch the crowds hail them and applaud.

    I was stationed in Germany in 70s. I talked to Germans who live through it. They told me that everyone knew was over as back as 1943. They were listening to the BBC,
    which had always been 100% accurate even when it was not going good for England. For instance the BBC reported accurately when the Bismarck was wreaking havoc on the English Navy.
    Also soldiers who were coming back from the Russian Front because of having lost a leg(s) or an arm were telling their families that is was only a matter of time.
    The Germans were finished in 44 when the allies broke through in Normandy, but the high command did not throw in the towel and instead made the casualty rate much higher.
    When Stauffenberg put the bomb into a meeting with Hitler that exploded, it was reported on the radio. They figured out exactly what it was about and were relieved that he was dead.
    It meant that there would be a surrender and there would not be an invasion into Germany, only to find out later that he survived.
    Up to the very end, the Nazi media was reporting that Germany was and would win the war.
    Goebbels himself was insane because he took part in continuing the war. More proof that he had lost his mind is that, he had murdered his own children.

      Your arguments are based on emotional Allied propaganda. Surrendering to the Soviets would have been utter madness and the death toll among Germans would have been much higher, if Stauffenberg had been successful. After all, there was a reason many soldiers refused to surrender and instead fought on: To save themselves and their families from the Soviets. Also Stauffenberg was considered a traitor by the German public even in the 60s.

В ходе героической обороны наши мужественные дивизии и ополченцы «фольксштурма» нанесли советам тяжелейший урон.

Вы знаете сейчас свою задачу, и я знаю, что вы ее образцово выполните. Час вашего испытания настал! Военная оборона столицы Рейха поручена генерал-лейтенанту Райману. Он - кавалер Рыцарского креста Железного креста с дубовыми листьями. Его командованию, не раз проверенному в этой войне, все солдаты и фольксштурмисты могут довериться безусловно.

Мои мысли и действия посвящены вашему благополучию и защите от нашего общего врага. Монгольское нашествие должно быть и будет сломлено у стен нашего города.
