Adolf Hitler's Proclamation To German Nation

241 Words1 Page

In his Proclamation to the German Nation, Adolf Hitler creates a connection with his audience by using carefully chosen words and solely plural pronouns.

    Another one of his motives is revealed when he says, “The totalitarian world produces backwardness because it does such violence to the spirit, thwarting the human impulse to create, to enjoy, to worship. The totalitarian world finds even symbols of love and of worship an affront”(American Rhetoric 6). Even if an organized resistance could not occur, he raised support for America’s cause against the Soviets by making their government seem like the worst thing that could ever happen to a country, causing discontent to grow especially because it was a President that was saying it. Who was saying it created ethos and raise awareness to how bad totalitarianism was by eliminating ignorance to the effects of totalitarianism; in addition, his use of the ways it impacts humans brings a human factor into play that would arouse a more passionate response than if he had stated the effects on something else, such as economics.

    Upon first read one would argue that Adolf Hitler presents a very strong argument, however, a closer examination would reveal the many false analogies used.

The flaw of this technique is that it lacks proof ultimately weakening the argument’s credibility.

Hitler’s Chief German biographer, Joachim Fest, argues that Hitler’s growing sense of mortality was what convinced him that it was time to increase aggression. Tooze that not much has changed regarding the positions on this topic since the 1980’s, but offers the probability of some alterations as a result of new archival evidence.
