Adolf Hitler delivering a speech, Germany 1933

Adolf Hitler stands at a podium, microphone before him, driving his speech forward with sweeping gestures, hunched shoulders and a shouting voice. The footage dates from the year of the so-called Machtergreifung: appointed Reich Chancellor on 30 January 1933, Hitler used public appearances deliberately to stage himself as a leader figure and to rally his followers. The theatrical delivery, with its shifting volume and expansive facial expressions, was part of a calculated rhetoric through which the NSDAP consolidated its grip on the German Reich in these months. Such speeches were routinely filmed by domestic and foreign newsreel crews.
