Artificial Intelligence reconstruction!
As a YouTube commenter said: ‘An actual worthwhile use of AI to help people better understand history. Similar to reading a dry book and then visiting the actual place in person, this helps make the past more real’.
Indeed. Hearing uncle Adolf in English really hits harder than reading a translation. Alas, I wouldn’t be surprised if this video is removed from YouTube. With luck, these English-Hitler speeches are going to make a difference among TikTok users, where they are proliferating right now.
Update: A short clip including footage of Hitler speaking while being translated (for twenty-something seconds) can be seen here.

I was going to post about this, they really are excellent.
The subtitled or written speeches just don’t have the same appeal.
To understand the tremendous power of oratory, read ‘Hitler as Orator’, a 2012 piece by Andrew Hamilton!
