Hitler's prophecy speech of 30 January 1939

From his first speech in 1919 in Munich until the last speech in February 1945, Adolf Hitler, dictator of Germany from 1933 to 1945, gave a total of 1525 speeches. In 1932, for the campaign of two federal elections that year he gave the most speeches, that is 241. It is not practical to list all of them, so only his most notably important speeches have been listed here.
