Goebbels Last Speech - 21 April 1945
Vložit

- 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.

when he got a better mic in 1945 than you in 2023
The microphone was excellent, the point is the audio recorder. I don't think, that in this moment they made any attempt to record the speech in the best possible audio quality.
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.
The Beatles? Every vocal recorded with German microphones of the immediate post WWII-period, based on designs from the 1930s.
Speech likely recorded on magnetic audiotape, which the Germans had perfected to the point that the recording was practically indistinguishable from a live broadcast.
@@hepphepps8356true. I saw a rather elegant 1930's German microphone that would fit in perfectly with modern aesthetics, even in comparison to the most "high end" mics on the market.
LMAOooooo fr
Think about that bomb you hear at 2:07.
The person who fired that shell could have never imagined that at the same time, Goebbels is recording a 3-minute speech in the bunker, and that the sound of the bomb he fired would be captured accidentally and echo for eternity. Absolutely mindblowing.
Same thoughts, its so bizarre, I kept replaying the part because it sounds so unreal to coincide with his speech.
I know what you mean!
He didn't move to the bunker till the day after he recorded this speech. He was at flaktower Zoogarten

@@andershomewig1871 Das habe ich gehört! Sie waren den Sowjets nicht gewachsen.
This was recorded exactly 78 years ago. There are people still around who heard it live.

@Hitler was right nice name!
the fact that you can hear the speakers blaring this outside and the shelling in the distance really gives another level of detail
I wanted to commit suicide but with this speech I want to live
The sound of the bomb in the background at 2:07 adds so much to this recording. Demonstrates how close the Soviets were, and just how dire the situation was. You typically associate broadcasts like these as being safe and away from the fighting, but here it was intertwined with it.
Don't forget American bombing and the British bombing which was only for revenge
@@paruhblgen4222 к чему тут это?
I clearly noticed that. It made the atmosphere even darker
The explosions in the background can be easily the sound of flak cannons shooting the enemy. Just read the description.
Time for the strychnine Herr Goebbels & family....
It's amazing how you can hear the bombing in the background.
at 2:07 a bomb explodes
So many history is being bombed away
Love the detail thx
0:26 as well
Just about the only interesting thing in the video
I'm a big history buff, and I love historical audio like this. And after having learned some german, it is kind of surreal to finally understand this. Before it was just these voices in a language I didn't understand. And now it's these words I know, and I can understand what he was saying. It just adds another level of realism you can't get normally.
I'm currently learning Deutsch myself and i know exactly what you mean! I couldn't understand all of it but when he refered to his wife and kids staying in Berlin it hit a little different being able to directly understand him. People seem to always forget that all of these guys were just human and it's not too far a stretch to say most people would have walked the same road given they were wearing the same shoes so to speak.
Its pretty nuts as a german to listen to this too haha
Sehr wahr
@@the_Googie was hast du anders gehört ?er hat nur normal geredet
@@thanos1229 What he means is that finally bring able to understand him after learning German made the speech feel more real to him.
My grandfather would have heard this speech, sitting in his small apartment in Berlin with his family around him. He went out, joined the Volkssturm and was machine gunned to death on the 26th April by the Red Army. My father hardly got to know him, he was just six years old when his Dad walked out of the door never to return
May he rest in peace. He died for his country to protect his family
Sad to hear about your familys' loss!
But keep in mind:
There are people, who are still thankful for (t)his sacrifice 🖤🙏
My grandfather got "lost" ("m.i.a./missing in action") somewhere at the eastern retreat in 1944.
The same year, his son (my dad) was born-they never saw each other😔
Due to the chaotic circumstances, there is no data about the exact fate of his unit =/
My grandmother had his portrait on her nightstand all life long.
(he was wearing the Wehrmacht uniform on it).
@@blackpaint9093 He died serving his country, because a lunatic ran his country into the ground for his paranoid delusions and unhinged visions of grandeur. Yes, may he rest in peace--but his life (and millions more) were wasted, utterly and completely.
@@jvn4940 was für wahnsinniger? Bist du blöd
War is hell. I’m sorry for your loss.
It's interesting to me that he makes it (subliminally) clear that the final fight for Berlin is not in order to turn the tide of the war, but just to make sure it isn't taken by the Soviets
At this point of the war most germans had already gotten the clue that the war was lost
yeah. because if the Americans got there first, every nazi would've been employed to work for the US
They ended up taking it. You know nothing
@@bigdaddytrips6197 ? the op wasn't saying that it wasn't taken by the Soviets, just that it became Germany's goal not to lose it to them.
@@bigdaddytrips6197 Bro, read his comment again, he never said that the soviets havent taken Berlin, he said that the JUST OF THE FIGHT WAS SO THE SOVIETS DONT TAKE THE CITY
i hope we can archive more historical data like this
This recording came from the archives.
CZcams deleted a lot of these!
There is no copyright for public speeches. Also, speeches made before 1962 are generally public domain.
I never had a successful copyright strike on any of my videos.
@@GermanWWIIArchive Hello! Would you have accidentally filed Hitler's statement after the ill-fated attempt at his murder by Colonel Stauffenberg?
if you think youtube is an "archive" of historical data, then you're severely ignorant. The national archives is but only one of many government institutions around the world in charge of archiving history.
All the bombs that we can hear in the background : 00:25, 01:44, 02:07 and 02:40
Ty so much!
could be outgoing, he was in a flak tower
This is probably the first time he was calm, he is not speaking with the same energy he used to do, perhaps he was already aware of the end. Also the Soviet bombings in the background, makes of this piece of audio, a treasure.
I dont agree. He speaks in clear and perfect german. There are a lot of speeches years before where he sounds the same. When he spoke in front of masses, yes, there he put more energy into the speech. But here in his last message, he sounds like always. This is Joseph Goebbels, an intelligent and cultivated man. And a really evil Nazi.
true young lady
He was aware that the war was lost as early as 1942 if we look at his memories
They knew since the middle of 1944 that they had lost. They were too egotistical to surrender but chose to sacrifice more German lives and the Allies obliged them so nicely.
@@violinhunter2 They sought for peace multiple times but even the Anglo-Americans would only have accepted an unconditional surrender. So they had no choice.
I hear shells exploding in the background several times. The one at 2:06 is very loud. The Soviets were hunting him down with more than a hunting rifle.
💣🙈☠️
As well as the Russian's hunting down Goebells he was completely delusional.
A shame they didn't get to hang him like the others
@Admiral Karl Döenitz
He was delusional his whole life. He helped light that part of the world on fire based on his delusions.
The Flack Tower was virtually impregnable. At that time, he was safer than anyone else in Berlin.
The shelling really gives this another level, that it is actually near the end of the war
@Ozi Bits The war still ended though.
Germans had the absolute best quality audio way back when. German engineering is top-tier.
It's remastered, still the quality of sound by the Germans made the reproduction sound 3D.
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.
Isn't this just not better than in other countries at the time?
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.
German engineering baby
@@Intel-i7-9700k It was much better than German engineering today. I bought a factory new top of the line Bmw M3 delivered in Munich. 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. It is my first high end German purchase and the last !
@@ericastier1646Just get an old Bimmer
If you listen real closely with headphones, you could almost hear his voice echoing on the loud intercoms outside the bunker throughout Berlin.
I can hear it
Yes !
tatsächlich!!! Deinen nächsten Termin beim HNO Arzt kannst du dir sparen!
No, that's not an echo from outside speakers. How could this have been recorded? In this case, shouldn't the explosions of the fights be heard better?
It's the before and after talk of the magnetic tape, which occurs when the tape is stored for a long time. The recording has been restored, so you can hear it only in some places. On the other hand, you can very clearly hear the artifacts of the restoration in the strange sounding tape hiss.
I hear it
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.
Believe the soviets first entered Berlin on 23rd.
If the 21st was a Saturday,that makes the previous Sunday the 15th.
"In the early hours of 16th April,civilians in the eastern quarters of Berlin were awoken by a distant rolling thunder. The vibrations were so strong that telephones began to ring on their own and pictures fell from their hooks. Women emerged slowly from their apartments and exchanged meaningful looks with neighbours. They hardly needed to speak. The long-awaited Soviet offensive had at last begun sixty miles to their east." The opening paragraph of the introduction/foreword to A Woman in Berlin,a Berlin journalist's account of those final days of the War,which extends to describe the situation in Berlin in the days and weeks immediately following the Nazi surrender and Soviet occupation.
"What was yesterday a distant rumble has now become a constant roar." Friday 20th April,4 p.m.
@@rjjcms1 Yes, that is true. My mistake. In any case, it's common knowledge that the offensive in the main started on the 16th. Perhaps it began in the very early hours so that's why Goebbels is referring to the (night of the) 15th. Or perhaps it's the probing attacks and early shelling.

“You’re wondering now, what to do, when you know this the end”.
Was that one of the things he said during this speech?
@@itzamia no dude, Goebells was extremely good at propaganda that this even convinced me for a second that Germany even had a chance at repelling the Soviet advance
Is this a reference to the Specials song or am I missing something
The curtain has fallen, now you’re on your own…
Major General Reymann died 1988 at 96. Not bad, he lucked out.
He was an okay commander I think. But he did not really do much. He had very little resources when he was appointed in March and was replaced as Berlin defense area commander in quick succession by Colonel Kaether, Hitler himself and finally General Weidling before the real urban fighting started.
The fact that a mic from 1945 is better than 90% of the headphone mics today is crazy.

My great-grandfather fought in Russia and survived the war. He walked back from Russia to Germany
Our neighbour was a child soldier and walked from germany all the way back to hungary
That's so interesting, how much of his story do you know? He must've been one of a very rare bunch of men who experienced that, was he apart of the initial invasion force in 1941?
Did u ask him how long did it take?
My grandpa was also fighting for Wehrmacht. But He Always missed the shots by purpose because He never wanted to kill Somebody. Than He was a prisoner in the gulags of russia already almost dead He got transported by one of the Last trains to Germany from one of the Last surviving , barely alive after Gulag. A Woman on a Farm helped him and cared about him until He was fine again. Than He found His wife and Made my Grandma. ITS a Wonder i am alive , ITS so crazy and surreal. War Always sucks. Peace and love for EVERYBODY 😌
my great uncle was said to have walked from russia to germany after the war but I didn't understand how he managed to, or how long it took him if it he actually walked it, i mean he must have taken a train or smth?
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.
Danke!❤

I wonder what he was thinking hearing all the explosions in the background
he wasn't wrong in those first 50 seconds. There was a political game going on between Russia and the west.
Yes? I wonder why, conflicting ideologies maybe.
@@th3litgods exactly. Western capitalism and Soviet communism were two opposite ends of the spectrum and there was a huge deal of mistrust between the British, Americans, and the Soviets. The capture of Berlin meant that the Russians had a greater spear of influence on Eastern Europe as we saw from the late 40s to the 90s.
The cold war had already begun.
@@coleman4840The Western Allies sacrificed East Germany for maintaining a stalemate between 2 Superpowers. That's why Germany will ever be divided ideological. That's also why Germany will never become a proud nation. Kind of sad for me.

@@Frosty_V0 I think they gave weapons to everyone for a last battle by that time. No one was spared.

Nemmersdorf was the alternative, what would you choose.
@@spaSSkloppe Not at all. He could have made sure his children were escorted to western Germany (American or British sectors).
I looked up the commanding general that he is lauding and here’s what Wikipedia had to say:
“Both Wilhelm Burgdorf and Goebbels convinced Hitler that Reymann should be relieved of command. When Reymann chose not to locate his office next to Goebbels's office in the Zoo Tower, Goebbels held that act against him.[3] On 22 April, Hitler relieved Reymann of his command for his defeatism and replaced him…”
So one day after this speech he was replaced, at Goebbels’ insistence. Now that’s a propaganda minister.

It's really crazy how comparable political messages are. Really goes to show just how a few can cause such a major catastophe for everyone else. Uncontestable respect to the brave heroes of WWII
A few people can NEVER cause such changes, they can only push society a little in one direction or another. Propaganda always talks about problems that are familiar to everyone. Public consciousness cannot be turned 180 degrees by the efforts of a couple of people. If propaganda works, then people are ready to accept it.

Thank you for posting/translations. You hear people ask "why did the Germans keep fighting when it was hopeless?", because speeches like those of goebbles and the wochenshau was often the only information they heard. We have hindsight and this is often underestimated, we know how it ended. There was no way they could have.
Nonsense
Its propaganda as obvious as clear sky it is. Volkstrum? Inflict heavy causalties on soviet? Heroic high and mighty tone? There goes that
Lots of soldiers already knew at this point, that they couldnt win the war anymore. Some of them were hoping that the Nazi-Leadership would negotiate a peace contract, some of them were in such big fear of soviet occupation, that they fought till the very end. Meanwhile some others didnt stop to fight, because they were afraid of the punishment, they would receive, if they deserted.

I just came from a video of a speech of his in 1943 and it’s crazy the difference in just 2 years
As an Englishman who speaks German as a second language I think his German is very clear and easy to understand.
I agree, i am Dutch and i learn German at school and i can clearly understand this.
He called them Mongols, which may seem weird but it was and still is a common slur against Russians. For example, some has called Russia today an "Asiatic Horde". There is an infamous WSJ article showing Putin as Genghis Khan titled "Russia’s Turn to Its Asian Past"
i think he s referring to their great numbers and the destruction they are bringing not their race
To add more info: Russia was once conquered by the Mongols, and once it broke free of Mongol rule, the Russians adopted many of the political and military systems of the Mongols (including the extremely despotic and hierarchical economic system, which didn't end until the mid 1800s).
Plus, much of the population of Siberia had Mongolian features, and were a common sight on the battlefield.
So it was both a racial and cultural slur.
@@mochalo4912 Weird statement since the thing you said originated from racism. Anyway no, Germans thought Russians as "subhuman mongols", Russians for them were not European or white, they were asiatic, this question(are russians white?) is present to this day.
Not weird. Modern Russia was under the control of Tatars who are descendants of the Mongols who tried to defeat the Islamic world but converted. The Mongol admixture is enough to make Russians look a bit funny. Yes, they took notes and modelled a system of governance on, really, their oppressors, arguably 'perfecting' it.
@@dorottagati6883 Germans never made the distinction of "white" and "non-white", only Aryan and non-Aryan. Non-Aryan meant Jewish. There were many supporters of Nazi Germany in Russia, including hundreds of thousands who fought under the Nazi flag.
Germans were not bothered in the slightest by the existence of other races.
As a descendant of those who he referred to as 'Mongolstuermer' I feel kinda weird saying this, but as someone who studies German, these recordings strike me with how clear, understandable an actually beautiful his German sounds. I had the same impression of the recording of Goering's interrogation at Nuremberg. Could be a standard for public speaking + education. Wonder if the native speakers notice that, too.
@untergeher odd is the right word for it. It is a very clear yet unusual pronunciation of a few words. Still you do not hear any obvious dialect. Nevertheless it is a very controlled and maybe on purpose calm speech, in particular to Hitler's or even his speech proclaiming the total war some years earlier.
hard to say it's beautiful when it's full of lies and rah-rah we'll fight to the very end propaganda. Beauty can be found in similes, elegance, simplicity, subtlety, hidden complexity, humor, rhythm or euphony, but not in the twaddle of a highly-intelligent but deranged fanatatic and murderer.
ну просто он сказал правду.. совковые рабы гнались пулеметами и ружьями нквдшников сталина вперед.. эта была как чума.. стая волков что захватывала Германию.. это было ужасно и похоже на конец мира. До 1989 так и было.
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.
@@beradive9651 Interesting stuff friend. I also thought of the sportpalast (mongol storm - storm out).
Basically " I am leaving without doing my job. You can do it instead."
he explicitly says he, his wife and children will stay in berlin, which they did.
Bro has a better mic than me.
Hahahahahaaaaaa.
A lot easier to hear with headphones but you hear bombs at 0:25 1:44 2:07 2:41
Plus you can hear maybe a live broadcast of what he's saying with a bit of a delay in the background. At 1:57 I swear it sounds like something firing back.
I think those are flak cannons since this was apparently recorded at the Zoo flaktower.
Good catch, you actually hear it about 3 times , it sounds somewhat similar to a flak40 round outgoing which they were using against tanks at the time and the zoo flak tower where he was headquarters did have those as weapons.
He spoke a very good German, clear and easy to understand.
That's why they were so persuaive. Simple and clear language.
And yet he said "Erobung" instead of "Eroberung" lol
He tried to fake a confidence, that he lost. He wasn't a good actor and so he couldn't hide it, how he wants it.
Well I would hope so being he was head of propaganda

down with Bolshevism

2. What exactly you mean by bolshevism? Not like the USSR is gone for 30 years feels like the Bolsheviks are down already
There is a much longer (10mins or so) speech Goebbels gave I believe prior to this one. It could be argued it was his last "major" speech wherein he deploys oratory skills rather than the sober and decidedly somber nature of this speech. If you know of the speech I'm speaking of, if you could upload it, it would be appreciated.
"I'll be fine, it's just a few drinks"
24 minutes later:
Conclusion from his speech: It was the Red army who defeated the Nazi, not US army or Royal army.
With the help of US land-lease.

If you have an earphones or earpods, you can hear his voice echoing from the speaker outside too. And also explosions
If you listen closely at 2:08 you can hear artillery fire in the background.

Damn, you can hear bombs falling in the background during his speech. The sounds of the most horrific war in human history.
That is not bombs you are hearing but in fact artillery shells. I am fairly certain, if this date of April 21 is accurate, that the allies had ceased bombing Berlin bc of the closeness of Russian ground forces.
@@PoppysGuitar those were bombs
Sounds of the revenge of Soviet army for the millions civilians, who be killed by nazis.
@mark lucca
I think you are a fool any war is horrific people are dying, flesh is torn to pieces....
This is just a short end of the speech. The whole speech is about an hour long.
These nazi speeches, Hitler,Georing, Goebbel,etc, are never translated. Knowing what they are saying would be much more better. One gets a little more insight into the mind of the speaker. just sayin.
It says turn on translator English
If you turn subtitles on the words are in English

@@ardi5849 Ein Grund mehr den NS abzulehnen.
Ist mir auch aufgefallen
日付が1945年４月21日になってるが、この日に宣伝相ゲッペルスがラジオ演説したという記録がない。おそらく録音だけだろう。
前日からソ連軍の長距離砲がベルリン市内に一斉砲撃を開始していたので、演説の中に砲撃音が聞こえる。
この日ゲッペルスはベルリンの大管区指導者を集めて最後の訓示を与えたが、おそらくその訓示の録音だろうか？
「私は家族をベルリンに呼び寄せており、家を離れない。諸君らも部署を守り、任務を全うせよ。そして、万策尽きた時にはいか
にこの地で死するか決する事になる」
と述べたが、その事を言っているのだろう。前日はヒトラーの誕生日でナチス高官がこの総統官邸地下壕に集まったが、誕生会が
終わると、高官たちは、こぞってベルリンから脱出した（ゲッペルスと家族は残留）

Exactly.
No huyeron, tenían instrucciones de continuar luchando y salieron para evitar la incomunicación de Berlín con el resto del Reich.
Do you deliver ?
Ist das Japanisch ?
He was correct, Berlin was indeed used as a bargaining chip exactly the way he said.
Not only committed suicide, but killed his entire family, too. Even the hardened Russians were shocked when they found the bodies.
this was common. save at least enough bullets for your family and self… what the soviets did to surviving women and children was far worse than being shot.
Were they shocked? Source?
This devil even wasn't able to suicide them and delegated to his wife. What of a sign of a pure bastard!
@@vibovitold No, they weren't lol. The commie leadership also would have done the same if the Japanese invaded from the East and the Germans surrounded Moscow.
It was reported by Hentschel the last and only person in the Bunker when the Russians entered it.
General Peron was a follower of the ideas of Hitler and Mussollini, but hearing Goebbels speak of "social justice" (one of the leitmotiv's of the Peronists) is truly incredible!
In nazi parlance, social justice simply means state overseen capitalism with guaranteed minimum wages and monetary stability. Add that it would protect veterans, be Jewish free, and there you have the talk for the masses still being uttered as it was in the 30s.
@@jdm2651 seems good enough
Göbbels was a part of the “left” wing of the party, and wanted social justice. Within a purified race, of course.
@@jdm2651 Nazi germany was probably the best country in the world to live in in the 30s
@@jdm2651 In media the word Nazi is used for the National Socialist Workers Party of Hitler. While many even monarchists as well as the military collaborated with the National Socialists for their own reasons, Dr. Goebbels, the intellectual with an artistic bent and a Ph.D., was a committed socialist (not unusual for certain intellectuals then as now). Every entity, be it a citizen or corporation , more or less willingly, becomes a functionary of the state, whether officially nationalized or not.
"The eyes of your wives and children are upon you." Interesting contrast with Eisenhower's phrasing.

Where did he declared publicly that he would commit suicide should germany lose the war?
He would never let the Soviets take him, The amount of German high ranks that commited suicide is absurd, Crazy hearing those bombs get closer and closer the more the video goes on.......
It’s odd to hear this from the vantage point of decades and be able to feel how half-hearted he sounds, using clichés and tired phrases. He knew it was hopeless.
Wow....what an amazing piece of history! I've never heard this before.
It was a defiant and sobering speech. I only wished that English subtitles of his words were shown.

Удивительно хорошая дикция. Плохо знаю немецкий, но многое понятно
вообще ничего не понятно, но очень интересно
@@Welcome-To-Horrorwood 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.
Удивительно? Этот чел орал из радио и со сцены порядка 12 лет. Конечно, у него суперская дикция
Im historischen Kontext ist diese Rede noch bemerkenswerter als sie ohnehin schon ist. Besonders beim letzten Teil läuft mir ein eisiger Schauer über den Rücken.
im hintergrund hört man die einschläge der sowjetischen granaten!
O que mais me arrepiar que ele estava fazendo um discurso em meios a bombardeios aliados durante 2:07 da para ver um tipo de explosão
Finalmente um brasileiro neste canal!
There were no allied bombs just soviet bombs in Berlin. West-Berlin later had been exchanged against Thüringen.
*Soviet artillery shelling
@@MDDeGrande1994 Soviéticos eram aliados.
Artilharia soviética, pelo barulho provavelmente uma de 127mm
I am just wondering how the situation would be outside that sound of a blast is captured in a relatively insulated room..
The algorithm’s going to get me on a watchlist
If watching these puts you on a watchlist, where does that put me? 😞
1:58 like him or not
He didn't flee from Berlin and stayed to face his final destiny.
Suicide and prolonging the war needlessly
Unlike Stalin who was prepared to flee Moscow on a train in 1941.
He didn't. He committed suicide so as not to get punished for his crimes.
On the bright side he is surely roasting on the devil's lap, though.
He killed his entire family before killing himself. I dont you can like a guy like that.
where should this 1000%-Nazi have fled to?
Still don’t understand what possessed them to move in offense to the east.
The main reason was “Lebensraum” basically in their minds the Slavs were not racially pure enough to be occupying so much land and the Germans wanted to expand their “Aryan” race. Therefore the Germans invaded the ussr to secure this land had they won the Slavs would be killed and German settlers would be moved into the east to reproduce
Do you really wish to know? 🤔
I had to listen to this three times over - he doesn't mention the boss once.
I'm sure that everyone would have been very grateful to him at this point.
Das ist so gruselig wie der redet. Also die Aussprache ist teilweise echt merkwürdig und wie er die letzen Silben im Satz manchmal lang zieht klingt komisch. Und dann der Inhalt so realitätsfern aber auch so kämpferisch und optimistisch ohne Anzeichen von Angst oder Schuld.
“ Social Justice”? Wow , he truly was spouting propaganda till the end .
If there was social justice in the Nazi regime, the social classes became smaller (redistribution of wealth)
-Gotz Aly , Hitler beneficiaries.

He was so woke
Every nation has is own propaganda.all people lie

Amazing. Is it possible to have Goebbels last speech in public in march 45 ?
The explosion you hear during the speech was an air raid that was timed to coincide with his speech . Allied intelligence thought it would be great for the people to hear that during his broadcast
proof?
A little over a week later, he was gone. Along with his wife and 6 innocent kids. Lesson learnt.
Goebbles didn't die at the front lines-he committed suicide in a protected bunker and took his wife and 6 innocent children with him.
2:07, was that a bomb in the background?
Yes
Unbelievable …
10 days later he commited suicide, his wife murdered all 5 children. What a " hero".
*6 children
What was the human cost and suffering did an extra 10 days get him?
