Adolf Hitler Speech: April 13 1923

1) Rejection of the League of Nations & Arbitration

Dismisses a “Peace Court” without coercive power as useless.

Claims no nation would submit voluntarily; disputes end by force, not law.

2) Social-Darwinist “might makes right”

Says history and nature are an “eternal victory of the strong over the weak.”

Argues states that ignore this “law” decay; cites the Weimar Reich as example.

3) Pre-WWI antagonisms framed as propaganda

France: alleges Jewish-run press, schools, theater, cinema stoked anti-German hatred since 1871.

Britain: says German industry threatened Britain; portrays British press (naming Northcliffe) as Jewish-led propaganda preparing war.

4) U.S. entry into WWI blamed on Jews

Claims “Jewish firms” sold munitions and that a Jewish-controlled press (naming Hearst) fabricated atrocity propaganda to drag America into war.

Frames Germany as uniquely “social” and outside world trusts, provoking Jewish hostility.

5) Freemasons, Social Democrats, and “world solidarity”

Portrays Freemasonry and socialist parties as fronts/tools of “Jewish” influence.

Cites Vorwärts to claim German socialists opposed a German victory.

6) Jews as revolutionaries and wartime profiteers (conspiracy claims)

Asserts Jews exploited war/revolution to gain power (e.g., Trotsky) and wealth.

Says Germany and Russia were last obstacles to “world mastery,” so monarchies had to be overthrown.

7) “Judah won the World War”

Contends all nations—victors and vanquished—were defeated by the “World Stock Exchange,” allegedly Jewish-controlled.

8) Germany’s “guilt”: inadequate armament/preparedness

Blames a “criminal Reichstag” (1912) for refusing more army corps; claims 120,000 extra troops would have won the Marne.

Says disarmament rhetoric in 1918 mirrored 1912 errors.

9) Call for reckoning & future program

Insists it’s necessary to speak about “war guilt” to justify punishing “November criminals.”

Pledges that, once in power, they will hang those deemed traitors.

Concludes with a duty to the dead, widows, and orphans to build a new Germany.
