I'm a bit upset. A bit of background is in order.
A couple of years back, I was preparing a speech class, and I ran into a video of Hitler giving a speech declaring war on the USA. The speech--regardless of how one might see it--is part of the historical record. I didn't download it. I figured it would always be available. It's a part of the historical record, right? Recently I tried to find it again. I couldn't. It's "not available in your country". Just now I remembered it, and since I have a proxy installed on my laptop I thought I would find it by being in a different country. But no. Maybe it's there. But the first few pages of hits are a version of the speech that has been edited with music and subtitles that may or may not be accurate, obviously uploaded by some kind of modern Nazi sympathizers. What is not easy to find is the "historical record". This bothers me greatly. How can we learn from history if we are afraid to actually let people look at it? Why hide a real speech? Why add music to let us know whether it is sad or dramatic or funny? Why ban the recording? Is it all "A Few Good Men"? YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH! Maybe I can. Maybe I can't. But let me look at history (the best I can, since it's over) by and for myself. Or do some of you see this differently? |

Is this part of a hate-speech law? Both edges of these laws appear to be very sharp.

Jeff I can think of lots of reasons why it is not available. Unfortunately none of them are good reasons.

Can't get /www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org to load. Came across this too: http://abundanthope.net/pages/Political_......ar.shtml The links they provide are to youtube and are dead. |

Does video of the speech actually exist? I found a video with (apparently) authentic audio, but other images on the screen.

Someone wants it squashed and has done a good job. Reminds me of the latest Penns Sunday School where he comments about a SNL that was not used as a backup because it couldn't get past todays standards of practice.

I can see why a video of a speech would be restricted, but for it to be completely unavailable is bonkers. Academics need the original record. Common sense tells us that.
Neo Nazis don't. I can see both points of view, but the overwhelming feeling I have is that it is wrong for historic records to disappear.

Often what is of interest to some is still of too little interest for anyone to care to maintain it on youtube. Besides which, IMO youtube is really not what I would consider a reliable or comprehensive source for historical documents. In any case, I think the speech you want may be in this archive: https://kickass.to/adolf-hitler-and-nazi......053.html Look for these files: HitlerDeclaresWarOnTheZionistStateUSAPart1.flv 48.68 MB HitlerDeclaresWarOnTheZionistStateUSAPart2.flv 50.58 MB HitlerDeclaresWarOnTheZionistStateUSAPart3.flv 32.94 MB Enjoy.

I've found in my experience that when you PI$$ off a college professor, it can come to no good. Also, @Jeff, I had a great high school Speech teacher in NYC. He made Speech a fun class; that was back in 1965. One of his hottest buttons and has since become one of mine, was when he heard someone say, "I graduated high school." It bothers ME even more today when I hear someone say "I graduated college." OK, back to topic.

Unfortunately I cannot remember whether the video I saw a few years ago had moving or still pictures, but on reflection it seems unlikely that they were filmimg with sound that day. Nevertheless, adding dramatic music and any pictures whatsover to a historical recording is problematic. It also seems problematic that the historical record of Germany could be deemed "unavailable" in Germany, even while sitting in an office of one of Germany's most prestigious universities, where one would think that we might be trusted with an access to an accurate historical record. But no. Even to watch the video Magnus linked to, I had to use a proxy. In my office in Göttingen. I find that shameful and embarrassing. |

Oh, I forgot to respond to Balducci regarding whether the video is available or unavailable due to being banned or verboten. One never knows. But if I can use a proxy to watch a video, then someone, somewhere has decided for some reason that I shouldn't watch it here in Germany. Usually it is GEMA--the agency correcting music royalties. Could it be so simple as that the stupid music in the background is copyrighted? Unlikely, I think.

Silly question. Have you asked your university library?
