Hitler speaks in the Reichstag, 6 October 1939

The deputies, most of them in uniform, fill the rows of the hall below a swastika emblem; at the rostrum Adolf Hitler reads his speech, one hand on the lectern, while the heavy-set Hermann Göring presides from the high desk behind him beneath a pleated canopy and officials in black and brown uniforms sit at the tables on either side. German newsreel footage. According to the source the session of 6 October 1939, in which Hitler, after the defeat of Poland, offered peace to Britain and France; both governments rejected the offer within a week.
