Знаменитый фрагмент из фильма “Der Untergang” (рус. “Бункер”) — Речь Гитлера в бункере
I no longer see any reason why [Germany and Russia] should still oppose one another.... We have, therefore, resolved to conclude a pact which rules out for ever any use of violence between us... Russia and Germany fought against one another in the World War. That shall and will not happen a second time. Hitler justified the German attack by claiming Polish culpability based on invented Polish atrocities at Pitschen and other places, including Gleiwitz and Hochlinden , [3] both of these being part of the culmination of Operation Himmler , a false flag operation intended to demonstrate that the Poles had attacked first, the Gleiwitz incident being the most noted. This night for the first time Polish regular soldiers fired on our territory.
Since 5:45 a. Hitler then declared himself as the "First soldier of the German Reich" Erster Soldat des Deutschen Reiches , a self-claimed rank, effectively equivalent of Generalissimo.
In the last few days I have increased these warnings. I left no doubt that people who wanted to compare the Germany of to-day with the former Germany would be deceiving themselves. An attempt was made to justify the oppression of the Germans by claiming that they had committed acts of provocation. I do not know in what these provocations on the part of women and children consist, if they themselves are maltreated, in some cases killed. One thing I do know - that no great Power can with honour long stand by passively and watch such events. I made one more final effort to accept a proposal for mediation on the part of the Italian Government. Mussolini proposed a conference of the major powers in Munich. Mussolini agreed on the cession to Germany of the Sudeten German territory and the measures consequent thereon, and by this agreement the Czechoslovak government was to be hold responsible for the steps necessary to secure its fulfilment.
For a whole day I sat in my Government and waited to see whether the Czech government would abide to the agreement the major powers of Europe had concluded in order to prevent a major war in Europe. Deputies, if the German Government and its Leader patiently endured such treatment Germany would deserve only to disappear from the political stage. But I am wrongly judged if my love of peace and my patience are mistaken for weakness or even cowardice. I, therefore, decided last night and informed the British Government that in these circumstances I can no longer find any willingness on the part of the Czechoslovak Government to conduct serious negotiations with us. These proposals for mediation have failed because in the meanwhile there, first of all, came as an answer the sudden Czechoslovak general mobilization, followed by more Czech atrocities. These were again repeated last night. Recently there have been as many as twenty-one incidents in which Czech military formations have killed innocent Sudeten Germans without provocations. Last night there were fourteen, of which one was quite serious. I have, therefore, resolved to speak to Czechoslovakia in the same language that Czechoslovakia for months past has used toward us and the Sudeten German minority. This attitude on the part of the Reich will not change.
The other European States understand in part our attitude. I should like here above all to thank Italy as well as Hungary, which throughout have supported us, but you will understand that for the carrying on of this struggle we do not intend to appeal to foreign help. We will carry out this task ourselves. The neutral States have assured us of their neutrality, just as we had already guaranteed it to them. When statesmen in the West declare that this affects their interests, I can only regret such a declaration. It cannot for a moment make me hesitate to fulfil my duty. What more is wanted? I have solemnly assured them, and I repeat it, that we ask nothing of those Western States and never will ask anything. I have declared that the frontier between France and Germany is a final one. I have repeatedly offered friendship and, if necessary, the closest co-operation to Britain, but this cannot be offered from one side only.
It must find response on the other side. Germany has no interests in the West, and our western wall is for all time the frontier of the Reich on the west. Moreover, we have no aims of any kind there for the future.
Вторжение России в Румынию и переход Греции на сторону Англии грозили в короткое время превратить также и эти области в общий театр войны. Вопреки нашим принципам и обычаям, уступая настойчивой просьбе тогдашнего румынского правительства, которое было само виновато в таком развитии событий, я дал ему совет уступить настойчивым советским требованиям и отдать Бессарабию в целях сохранения мира. Однако румынское правительство считало возможным обнаружить это перед своим народом лишь в том случае, если Германия и Италия, в виде возмещения, по крайней мере дадут гарантию, что оставшаяся часть румынского государства более не будет затронута. С тяжелым сердцем я сделал это. Прежде всего, уже потому, что если Германия дает гарантию, то это значит, что она отвечает за нее. Мы не англичане и не евреи.
Таким образом, я думал в последний момент сохранить мир в этой области, даже несмотря на принятие на себя тяжелых обязательств. Однако с целью окончательно разрешить эти проблемы и установить ясность в вопросе русского отношения к Германии1, а также под давлением постоянно усиливающейся мобилизации на нашей восточной границе, я пригласил г. Молотова приехать в Берлин. Советский министр иностранных дел потребовал разрешения2 или же согласия Германии по следующим четырем вопросам; 1 Так в документе. В немецком оригинале «русской позиции в отношении Рейха» — «russische Einstellung dem Reiche» S. В немецком оригинале «уяснения» -«Klaerung» S. Мой ответ: Германская гарантия является общей и непременно обязывающей нас. Однако Россия нам никогда не заявляла, что она имеет интересы в Румынии, за исключением Бессарабии. Уже занятие Северной Буковины явилось нарушением этого заверения.
Поэтому я не думал, что Россия теперь вдруг может иметь какие-либо дальнейшие намерения против Румынии. Россия решила долее не терпеть этого. Готова ли Германия не оказывать Финляндии никакого содействия и, прежде всего, сейчас же отозвать германские войска, направляющиеся на смену в Киркенес? Мой ответ: Германия, теперь, как и прежде, не имеет политических интересов в Финляндии. Однако германское правительство не может потерпеть новой войны России против маленького финского народа, тем более, что мы никогда не сможем поверить в угрозу Финляндии для Советской России. Мы вообще не желаем, чтобы в Балтийском море вновь возник театр военных действий. В немецком оригинале «угрозу со стороны Финляндии» — «von Finnland bedroht» S. Мой ответ: Болгария — суверенное государство, и я не знал, что подобно тому, как Румыния у Германии, Болгария вообще просила бы гарантии у Советской России. Кроме того, я должен обсудить это с моими союзниками.
Согласна ли Германия на это или нет? Мой ответ: Германия в любое время готова дать свое согласие на изменение Статута Монтрё1 в пользу черноморских государств. Германия не согласна на присвоение русскими опорных пунктов в проливах. Здесь я занял единственную позицию, которую я мог занять как ответственный вождь Германии, а также как ответственный представитель европейской культуры и цивилизации. Последствием было усиление советской деятельности, направленной против Германии, и, прежде всего, немедленно начатое внутреннее разлагание2 нового румынского государства и попытка устранения болгарского правительства путем пропаганды. При помощи увлеченных неопытных членов румынского легиона удалось инсценировать в Румынии путч, целью которого было свержение главы государства генерала Анто-неску и создание хаоса в стране, чтобы путем уничтожения законной власти устранить предпосылку для вступления в силу обещанной германской гарантии. В немецком оригинале «Status von Montreux» S. В немецком оригинале «разложение изнутри» — «inneren Aushoehlung» S. Несмотря на это, я все же считал лучшим хранить молчание.
Тотчас же после неудачи этого предприятия началась вторичная усиленная концентрация русских войск на германской восточной границе. Бронированные1 и парашютные части перебрасывались во все возрастающем числе непосредственно к германской границе. Германская армия и страна знают, что еще несколько недель тому назад на нашей восточной границе не находилось ни одной танковой или моторизованной дивизии. Однако, если требовалось последнее доказательство, несмотря на все диверсии и маскировку, для подтверждения наличия тем временем создавшейся коалиции между Англией и Советской Россией, то оно было представлено югославским конфликтом В то время, как я старался сделать последнюю попытку умиротворения Балкан и в дружеском сотрудничестве с Дуче пригласил Югославию присоединиться к Пакту трех держав, Англия и Советская Россия в совместной работе организовали путч, который в одну ночь устранил тогдашнее правительство, склонное к взаимопониманию. Теперь может быть сообщено германскому народу, что сербский государственный переворот, направленный против Германии, произошел не только под знаком английской, но главным образом под знаком советской агитации. Так как мы и тут хранили молчание, советское правительство предприняло еще один шаг. Оно не только организовало путч, но несколько дней спустя заключило всем известное дружеское соглашение с подвластными ему новыми "людьми"2 с целью укрепить сербов в их оппозиции против умиротворения Балкан и возбудить их против Германии.
But I am wrongly judged if my love of peace and my patience are mistaken for weakness or even cowardice... These proposals for mediation have failed...
Hitler then spoke of the Molotov—Ribbentrop Pact , which had been signed just ten days before, on August 23. I no longer see any reason why [Germany and Russia] should still oppose one another.... We have, therefore, resolved to conclude a pact which rules out for ever any use of violence between us... Russia and Germany fought against one another in the World War. That shall and will not happen a second time. Hitler justified the German attack by claiming Polish culpability based on invented Polish atrocities at Pitschen and other places, including Gleiwitz and Hochlinden , [3] both of these being part of the culmination of Operation Himmler , a false flag operation intended to demonstrate that the Poles had attacked first, the Gleiwitz incident being the most noted. This night for the first time Polish regular soldiers fired on our territory.

Речь гитлера на немецком языке текст
The speech served as public declaration of war against Poland and thus of the commencement of World War II Germany did not submit a formal declaration of war to Poland. Hitler at the Reichstag , 1 September 1939. For this speech, Hitler wore a field-grey military uniform, conforming with the Generalissimo rank he was assuming, rather than the brown Nazi Party uniform that he had worn for earlier speeches. The first shots of the invasion had been fired at around 4:48 am of September 1, by the battleship Schleswig-Holstein. At 5:40 am Hitler issued a declaration to the armed forces: "The Polish state has refused the peaceful settlement of relations which I desired, and appealed to arms... In order to put an end to this lunacy I have no other choice than to meet force with force from now on. But only a handful of people showed up, and the Berliners were largely apathetic, even grim, and showed no enthusiasm for the war.
In my talks with Polish statesmen I discussed the ideas which you recognize from my last speech to the Reichstag... These proposals have been refused.
Ha, da mache ich nicht mit.
Ha, ich will konstruktiv wirken, nicht als Idiot im Hamsterrad. Ich sende meinen Dank an Adolf Hitler und an das deutsche Volk. Millionen Deutsche haben damals einen Kampf aufgenommen, der damals noch nicht zu gewinnen war.
Sie haben Breschen geschlagen. Die wurden seither vertuscht und verwischt…und treten in dieser unserer neuen Zeit zutage. Россия передала гласности речь Адольфа Гитлера, с переводом на русский язык.
Может быть это печально, но это факт.
What produces value is work, and the few cents which made it possible to survive difficult times and buy some fabrics, multiplied through time, stand before us today — we call it Capital for continued operation in bad times, that is Working Capital. Here I want to emphasize one thing: Tools, workshop, machine, factory — or working capital, that is, industrial capital — against this you cannot fight at all. You can perhaps make sure that it is not abused but you cannot fight against it. This is the first major scam that one makes to our people, and they make it to distract us from the real fight, to pull it off from the capital which should and must be fought — from the loan and financial capital. Stormy bravo! This capital arises in a very different way.
The smallest master craftsman was dependent on the fate that might affect him every day, on the general situation in the middle Ages, perhaps on the size of his city and its prosperity, the security in this city. Also today is this capital, that is, the industrial capital tied to the state and to the people, depending on the will of the people to work, but depending also on the possibility to procure raw materials in order to be able to offer work and find buyers who will really buy the product. And we know that a collapse of the state, under certain circumstances, renders the greatest values worthless, devalues them, as distinguished from the other capital, the finance and loan capital, which accrues interest very evenly without any regard to whether the owner, for example, of these 10,000 Mark himself passes away or not. The debt remains on the estate. We know that this railway fortunately has now a 20 billion deficit but their bonds must bear interest, and even though they were sold, in part, more than 60 years ago and have already been repaid four times, the debt, the interest, runs further, and while a great nation gains nothing on this company, it still must bleed; the loan capital continues to grow completely irrespective of any outside disturbance. Here we already see the first possibility, namely that this kind of money-making, which is independent of all the events and incidents of daily life, must necessarily, because it is never hindered and always runs evenly, gradually lead to huge capitals which are so enormous that they ultimately have only one fault, namely the difficulty of their further accommodation. To accommodate this capital, you have to proceed to destroying whole states, to destroy entire cultures, to abolish national industries — not to socialize, but to throw all into the jaws of this international capital — because this capital is international, as the only thing on this Earth that is truly international.
It is international because its carrier, the Jews, are international through their distribution across the world. Consent And already here one should knock oneself on the head and say: if this capital is international because its carrier is distributed internationally, it must be madness to think that this capital can be fought internationally with the help of the members of the same race which possesses it. Hear, hear Fire is not extinguished by fire but by water and the international capital belonging to the international Jew can only be broken by a national force. Bravo and applause! So, this capital has grown to incredibly large proportions and today virtually rules the Earth, still eerily growing and — the worst! For it is appalling that the common man who has to bear the burden in order to return the capital sees that, despite his hard work, diligence, thrift and in spite of the real work, he is hardly able to nourish himself and still less to dress, while this international capital devours billions just in interest, which he also must supply, and at the same time a whole racial stratum which does no other work than collect interest and cut coupons, spreads in the state. This is a degradation of any honest work, for every honestly working man must ask today: Does it have a purpose at all that I work?
Yes, one of the foundations of our strength is being destroyed, namely the ethical concept of work, and that was the brilliant idea of Karl Marx to falsify the ethical concept of work, and the whole mass of the people who groan under the Capital are to be organized for the destruction of the national economy and for the protection of international finance-and-loan capital. Stormy applause We know that today 15 billion of industry capital is facing 500 billion of loan capital. These 15 billion of industry capital is invested in creative values, while this 500 billion loan capital, which we always get in spoonful rates of 6 and 7 billion and which we use in periods of 1 to 2 months to supplement our rations a little, these 6 to 7 billion today which are decreed almost worthless scraps of paper, at a later date, should we ever recover, will have to be repaid in high quality money i. This is not only the destruction of a state, but already the application of a chain, of a neck collar for later times. National purity as a source of strength The second pillar against which the Jew as a parasite turns, and must turn, is the national purity as a source of the strength of a nation. The Jew, who is himself a nationalist more than any other nation, who through millennia did not mix with any other race, uses intermingling just for others to degenerate them in the best case; this same Jew preaches every day with thousands of tongues, from 19,000 papers in Germany alone, that all nations on Earth are equal, that international solidarity should bind all the peoples, that no people can lay a claim to a special status etc. What a nation means, he, who himself never dreams of climbing down to those to whom he preaches internationalism, knows well.
First a race must be denationalized. First it must unlearn that its power is in its blood, and when it has reached the level where it has no more pride, the result is a product, a second race, which is lower than the previous one and the Jew needs the lower one in order to organize his final world domination. In order to build it and keep it, he lowers the racial level of the other peoples, so that only he is racially pure and able to eventually rule over all the others. We know that the Hindus in India are a mixed people, stemming from the high Aryan immigrants and from the dark aborigines. And this nation bears the consequences, for it is a slave nation of a race that may seem in many ways almost as a second Jewry. Another problem is the problem of physical decomposition of races. The Jew is trying to eliminate all of which he knows that is somehow strengthening, muscle-steeling, and eliminate above all everything of that which he knows may keep a race so healthy that it will remain determined not to tolerate among themselves national criminals, pests to the national community, but under some circumstances, punish them with death.
And that is his great fear and worry; for even the heaviest latches of the safest prison are not so tough, and the prison is not so safe that a few million could not open it eventually. Only one lock is permanent, and that is death, and in front of it he has the most awe. And therefore he seeks to abolish this barbaric punishment everywhere where he lives as a parasite. But wherever he already is, Lord, it is used ruthlessly. Loud applause And, for the breaking of physical strength, he has excellent means at hand. First of all, he has the trade that should be nothing more than distribution of foodstuffs and other necessary items for daily use. He uses it to withdraw these articles of daily life, when necessary, in order to raise the price on the one hand, but also to withdraw in order to create the conditions for physical weakening which have always worked best: hunger.
Everywhere, what we see behind these organizations is not the desire to make a shining organization for food supply, but through them gradually to create hunger. We know that as a politician he never had reason and cause to shun the hunger, on the contrary, wherever the Jew appeared in political parties, hunger and misery was the only soil in which he could grow. He desires it, and therefore he does not even think of easing social misery. He was a leading proponent of a policy of assimilation for German Jews ] Hand in hand with this goes a battle against the health of the people. He knows how to turn all the healthy normal manners, the obvious hygienic rules of a race on its head, from night he makes day; he creates the notorious nightlife and knows exactly that it works slowly but surely, gradually destroying the healthy strength of a race, making it soft; the one is destroyed physically, the other spiritually, and into the heart of the third it puts the hatred as he has to see the others feast. And finally, as a last resort, he destroys the productive capacity, and if necessary, in connection with it, the productive resources of a nation. That is the great mystery of Russia.
They have destroyed factories, not because they knew they would no longer be needed, but because they knew that the people would be forced, with enormous hardships, to replace what had been destroyed. So the Jew succeeds in harnessing the people, instead of the former 9 and 10 hours, for 12 hours. For at the moment when the Jew becomes Lord, he knows no 8-hour day, he recognizes his Sabbath for his cattle, but not for the Goyim, for the Akum [words for non-Jews]. The destruction of culture Finally, he reaches for the last method: The destruction of all culture, of all that we consider as belonging in a state which we consider civilized. Here is his work perhaps most difficult to recognize, but here the actual effect is the most terrible. This is true inner experience, unlike the other ones, which are only superficial swindle Applause , set in the world with an intent to gradually destroy in the people any healthy idea and to whip the people into a state in which no one can understand whether the times are crazy, or whether he himself is mad. Big laughter and applause.
Just as he works in painting, sculpture and music, so he does in poetry and especially in literature. Here he has a great advantage. What has become of it? A place which today you are ashamed to enter unless someone might notice you the moment you go in. And if theater has become a hotbed of vice and shamelessness, then a thousand times more so that new invention which perhaps comes from genial inspiration, but which the Jew understood right away to remodel into the filthiest business that you can imagine: the cinema. Thunderous applause and clapping. At first people attached greatest hopes to this brilliant invention.
It could become an easy mediator of profound knowledge for the entire people of the world. And what has become of it? It became the mediator of the greatest and the most shameless filth. The Jew works on. For him there is no spiritual sensitivity, and just as his forefather Abraham was selling his wife, he finds nothing special about the fact that today he sells girls, and through the centuries we find him everywhere, in North America as in Germany, Austria-Hungary and all over the East, as the merchant of the human commodity and it can not be denied away; even the greatest Jew defender cannot deny that all of these girl-dealers are Hebrews. This subject is atrocious. According to Germanic sentiment there would be only one punishment for this: death.
For people that play fast and loose, regarding as a business, as a commodity, what for millions of others means greatest happiness or greatest misfortune. For them love is nothing more than business in which they make money. They are always ready to tear apart the happiness of any marriage, if only 30 pieces of silver can be made. It was played up by the Jews and became very popular. So we should not be surprised when he also attacks what many people even today are not indifferent to, and what to many at least can give inner peace — religion. Also here we see the same Jew who himself has enough religious customs which others could easily mock, but no one does, as we, in principle, never ridicule religion because it is sacred to us. But he tries to destroy everything without offering a substitute.
Who today, in this age of the vilest deceit and swindle, is detached from it; for him there are just two more possibilities, either he hangs himself in despair or becomes a crook. Instead of the authority of reason, there enters the authority of the great spongy majority led by the Jew, because the Jew is always going through three periods. First, autocratically-minded, ready to serve any prince, he then descends to the people, fighting for democracy, of which he knows that it will be in his hand, and steered by him; he owns it, he becomes a dictator. Hear, hear And we see this today in Russia, where a Lenin has just assured that the councils are already outlived, and that now it is not absolutely necessary that a proletarian state be led through one council or parliament, that it is sufficient that 2 or 3 proletarian-minded people govern this country. These proletarian-minded persons are some Jewish billionaires, and we know very well that behind 2 or 3 proletarians ultimately stands another organization which is outside of the state: the Alliance Israelite and their grandiose propaganda organization and the organization of Freemasonry. Loud applause and clapping of hands And in all these things we must understand that there are no good or evil Jews. Here everyone works exactly according to the instincts of his race, because the race, or should we say, the nation and its character, as the Jew himself explains, lies in blood, and this blood is forcing everyone to act according to these principles, whether he is the leading mind in a party that calls itself democratic, or calls itself socialist, or a man of science, literature, or just an ordinary exploiter.
The political organization And when we see, for example, in these Jewish magazines, that it is specified that every Jew everywhere is obligated to fight against any antisemite, wherever and whoever he is, then it follows by deduction that every German, wherever and whoever he is, will become an antisemite. Because it seems inseparable from the social idea and we do not believe that there could ever exist a state with lasting inner health if it is not built on internal social justice, and so we have joined forces with this knowledge and when we finally united, there was only one big question: How should we actually baptize ourselves? A party? A bad name! When I hear that word I go mad. Economic organizing only — here lies the salvation and the future. Stormy applause Since it is clear that scientific knowledge is worthless as long as this knowledge is not a basis for an organization of the masses for the implementation of what we consider necessary, and it is further clear that for this organization only the broad masses of our people can be considered.
Loud applaus. The salvation can never come from above, it can and will only come from the masses, from the bottom up. Applause And as we came to this realization and decided to form a party, a political party that wants to enter into the ruthless political struggle for the future, then we heard a voice: Do you believe that you few can do it, do you really believe that a couple of guys can do it?
Reichstag Speech, May 21, 1935. I should like them to realise that it is unreasonable to try and bring these historical realities into opposition with the demands of their vital interests and to their understandable claims to live. I would therefore like the German people to understand the inner motives of National Socialist foreign policy, which finds it painful that the outlet to the sea of a people of 35 millions is situated on territory formerly belonging to the Reich, but which recognises that it is unreasonable and impossible to deny a State of such a size as this any outlet to the sea at all. I merely recall our agreement with Poland, which has worked out to the advantage of both sides …. And to my own fellow-citizens I would say that the Polish nation and the Polish State have also become a reality …. The peoples of these States i. This good work, which had been doubted by so many at the time, has meanwhile stood the test, and I may say that, since the League of Nations finally gave up its perpetual attempts to unsettle Danzig and appointed in the new commissioner a man of great personal attainments, this most dangerous spot from the point of view of European peace has entirely lost its menacing character.
The Polish State respects the national conditions in this State, and both the city of Danzig and Germany respect Polish rights. And so the way to a friendly understanding has been successfully paved, an understanding which, starting from Danzig, has to-day succeeded in spite of the attempts of certain mischief-makers in finally taking the poison out of the relations between Germany and Poland and transforming them into a sincere, friendly co-operation. There was a danger that Poles and Germans would regard each other as hereditary enemies. I wanted to prevent this. I know well enough that I should not have been successful if Poland had had a democratic Constitution. For these democracies which indulge in phrases about peace are the most bloodthirsty war agitators. In Poland there ruled no democracy, but a man; and with him I succeeded, in precisely twelve months, in coming to an agreement which, for ten years in the first instance, entirely removed the danger of a conflict. We are all convinced that this agreement will bring lasting pacification. We realise that here are two peoples which must live together and neither of which can do away with the other. A people of 33 millions will always strive for an outlet to the sea.
A way for understanding, then, had to be found; it has been found; and it will be ever further extended.
