    The film „Der Untergang“ (The Downfall) portrays Hitler‘s last days, through the perspective of his typist and secretary Traudl Junge. She was one of his four permanent secretaries from 1942 to 1945. She wrote a memoir in 1947, describing these events, but published it 2002, shortly before she passed. Her book was mainly used for the movie made in 2004. The last three years of his life, Hitler showed a strong dislike of the military, calling them „incompetent idiots“ in front of his female entourage. Once he told his generals „these women (the four typists) have more guts than my entire army“. Later, from 1944 onwards, he would insist to have dinner with only the four, discussing arts, architecture, food, culture, music, films, but never the war, nor the „enemy“ (communists, Jews, etc.)
    As Junge described: „He never used the word defeat, but after Stalingrad, he became a loner. He didn’t invite the officers to his home, he fell into a monotony; getting up at noon, having lunch with us, going for a walk, then taking a break for a nap, dinner was always late, as he would walk around the house talking to everyone and to himself, till 5 AM in the morning. Then he would fall asleep, completely exhausted. But he was always polite. He never lost his temper in front of female company. Not once. And we were young. We didn’t understand half of what he was talking about. But he always asked how we were. He was very much interested in our own well-being.“
    Later, when they moved from his mansion in Obersalzberg to the bunker in Berlin, things changed. They were all cramped up in less than 3086 sq ft, and often tensions ran high. He was surrounded by people he really hated: the military. The typists had to listen to tirades most of the time. One of the four said in an interview, that it is true, that he said in front of the entire staff: „If we lose the war, it’s all on you! Stalin did well to get rid of all his generals, while I pampered mine!“

      When Hitler became chancellor, it was right after a start of economic recovery and uptrend and all work left was done by Hjalmar Schacht. He was also handed a military secretly built by monarchists/military conservatives.

      well, i think the man must've had a kind of charming personality or charisma or something along these lines, at least in the beginning of his political career if one wants to call it this, even though he turned into what he finally turned into. this comes from the basic assumption that a man needs to have some likeable personality traits to gather initial support and to create somewhat of an inner circle of folks which are backing the ideas spread out from their leader and multiply a movements momentum quickly.

    I was a tour guide in New Orleans for 18 years.... Several things happened in my mind right away. The ability to execute the English language properly, quality of the tone of your voice, and most importantly have the ability to counter any and all questions and answers. So... Voice lessons, acting lessons, and a whole closet of clothes which make you look like you stepped out of a page of time as if that historical character is standing there in front of you. Personally I turned into a sponge for information like a librarian and I thoroughly enjoyed talking about any subject. The more you know you become the dynamic and the center of attention.

    The problem with politics today (and for quite some time now), is that there is a real lack of charisma and heart coming through that TV or on the radio. Suit and tie politicians who just read off a sheet of paper or a teleprompter..they do not actually mean what they say 75% of the time. Guys like Churchill and Hitler would go up there and wing it and scream, be animated and actually have emotion. This is why Trump got popular in my opinion... whether you agree or do not agree, he said what he felt and was thinking at the time. This is totally foreign in our public relations science atmosphere where everything from clothes, to speeches, to opinions politicians should have are decided by a background committee.

      @@bigtittie7295
      Remember that the thing about the drugs may have been a factor during the latter part of the war (and even that is quite unclear and subject to rumours and more or less well founded speculations), but most of the famous speeches were pre-war, and there is little to suggest he was given any drugs during that period. In fact the longer the war continued, the more sparse his public appearances became, so the part of his life with most of the speeches, and the part where he was possibly more and more affected by some drugs were not simultaneous. Therefore I find it less likely that drugs influenced his speech making to any large extent.
      Furthermore: Hitlers speeches may have seemed like he almost was high (and the rumours about his drug intake late in the war may get blurred together with that notion), but in fact you usually only see short snippets of them. Many speeches were really long (an hour or more), and the climactic bellowing parts were preceeded by a long, carefully rehearsed and prepared buildup.

    In this clip Joe Rogan has Jamie research a story he had heard about Hitler's beligerent, talkative behavior nearly completely prevented anyone else from interrupting as during the meeting he cornered Mussolini to convince him to continue to support the war effort. Hitler was so wired on Eukadol that despite nearly cancelling the meeting due to exhaustion, he became even more confident and aggressive than usually.

    Hitler was notorious for having a sweet tooth. He would often eat 4 or 5 cream cakes in one sitting. Quite an interesting mental image, him with cream all over his tiny moustache, stuffing down yet another cake in front of a bemused and mildly disgusted Goebbels.

    Hitler is a complicated phenomena. He did not have the charisma to get elected, but he did build and organization strong enough to get him appointed. He did a much more thorough and efficient form of Fascism than the Italians. His understanding of what had to be done for this "new" idea of taking Communism and replacing class with race and concentrating on one group and a mythology of a connection to the land was phenomenal. The development of a new mythology and the raising of "a generation of brutal youth" built on the neo-paganism that had begun in the 1890's. It was very much like the speed with which wokeism has spread through the universities and now the public schools and local government in the US, and they are related. Imagine woke/political correctness with the full force of the government and police behind it, like in Canada.
    This is how it happens. It only the time from a child be 8 until 15 or 16 , that's 5 or 6 years, and you can change everything if you control the schools and the public discourse. The same as two terms of a US President. One more Biden term and all the women in power will be replaced by trans-women, as if the 19th Amendment never happened.

    All those people who describe Hitler as an unavoidably charismatic Svengali type figure who could hypnotize people with his eyes and his speech are just making excuses and avoiding the shame of them having listened to him, or agreed with him, or doing what he ordered. They were not hypnotized. They were humans. Unless they had a gun held to their heads, they did what they did because they chose too, even when they knew it was wrong. If you were in Germany in the 30s and 40s chances are you would have gone along with everyone else and did the same thing. As evidence, watch film of all the German citizens that were rounded up to help clean up the concentration camps after the Allies liberated them. They all knew exactly what was going on in those camps but they made the choice to live in denial and after it was over their shame absolutely destroyed many people.

    In my opinion, Hitler was not extraordinary one on one. If a small crowd were to coalesce, he would then become magnetic.
    Hitler simply formed camaraderie with his old army bros and people with shared interests. They would then use his charisma with crowds to push their political agenda and grow their movement. Stalin on the other hand was a shitty orator. That 1941 speech felt like he was reading a report in a boardroom. One on one, however, he was extremely effective. He was charming, manipulative, deceptive, and completely inscrutable. It was as if there were several Stalins, according to Lazar Kaganovich. He was more like the character of Palpatine in the Star Wars franchise; secretly manipulating others into doing his bidding. That is how he was able to destroy his opponents, like Trotsky, and maneuver to the top of the political hierarchy.

    I don't know obviously, I agree about what is said. And I think we can speak of "magic" but in a charismatic way if to call it that. Now, these people you speak about is obvious narcissist's. Even psychopaths. I've met my shared part of some of those. I think the ability to appeal to people emotionally without necessary have alot of them or even any plays apart. Those people have some ability to fool people. To read people and to find out what gets them triggered. On a low scale on a one to one basis but on a higher Ewen thousands. The surface traits I think differ from culture to culture, and of course what time in history it is. Whatever those people could play on. What I know (I read alot about Hitler) Hitler was quite a discontent loner to start with, then he started to express his discontent in coffeshops, in a time when the German people really was in a distress. He realized he was an excellent demagogue and it must have excited him rejected as he had been earlier. It was the classical background of a mask Ng if a sociopath as well with an abusive father and an overprotective mother. Not that all people with that upbringing becomes sociopaths but it is a quite common trait. I been thinking alot if he had any "help" if he was "chosen" in an even more evil and cunning way to simply create a political chaos and even finally a war. In the world we live in I don't even find it unreasonable. But not necessary either.

    One on one, Hitler was probably very ordinary. Hitler’s power depended on his powerful public speaking skill. Charisma depends on having an audience. Hitler was not especially charming or gracious. He was not a great conversationalist. He didn’t have any real friends. He had no girlfriend or family life. He was a fanatic and his personal life was totally absorbed by his political life.

    people always want to look at Hitler as this awful person and wonder how he got these people to follow him. but people fail to look at the state of Germany at the time, after the first War Germany kind f got screwed over by the other nations and the average Germans was not living the greatest life. this made it easy for a guy to come in preaching German Pride and to inspire eager young people to follow and be part of something. ive always thought the real history lesson in WWII wasnt what Hitler did and became, but the mistakes that others made by giving Germany a raw deal which led to somebody like this being able to take control. all people want to do id blame Germany and call Hitler evil and not look at what the "good guys" did that allowed him to happen in the first place. you talk about not learning from history, after WWII people were so hungry and eager to punish Nazis and scold Germans they very well could have set things in motion for it to happen again.
