In preparation for Meeting of the Minds I read portions of Alan Bullock's "Hitler: A Study in Tyranny" and several articles online to learn what his views/motives were. I then watched several of his speeches on Youtube to understand what made him as influential as he was. Through this project I learned quite a bit of interesting facts about Hitler. In most photographs, Hitler is seen wearing only a cross medal, which is the medal he earned in WWI, the only one ever given to him. After getting drunk once at fifteen, he vowed never again and by age thirty gave up alcohol all together.
Though the thing that struck me as the most interesting came from one of his speeches. He calls for all german people, rich or poor, to work for each other as comrades of state so Germany can flourish. I believe this is why he was as successful as he was. Below the best video I found.
