"Hitler's Table Talk" Study Hour: Episode 13

June 5, 2014

Hitler talks about the effect of diet on disease in this episode. Here he dines out of doors with his officers as ordinary soldiers look on. They are having soup (a Führer favorite) with fresh fruit on the table. 

Ray Goodwin and Carolyn Yeager read and comment on the Nov. 2nd-6th 1941 dinner table monologues by the German Leader, as taken down in shorthand by trusted aide, attorney Heinrich Heim. Topics included in this episode:

•  The dimensions of Europe have changed over the years;

•  Criminals cannot be tolerated in society during wartime but juvenile criminals need special treatment;

•  Diet and long life, and freedom from disease;

•  Progress of the Germanic race and peculiarities of the Jewish mind;

•  Standards for promotion, and fairness in handing out awards
