Here is the whole dang speech. I will try to remember not to transcribe any more of those suckers. Note to Barry Obama. If all you have to say is BS the delivery is very important. This is a clean transcript but I doubt there were any ers, ahs or ya knows in it.

After the speech there is a highlight summary and a description of the display of military might put on for Der Fuehrer at Nuremberg.

I was interested to see that God, and faith were more than once mentioned in this boring prelude to what became the Second World War. He didn’t leave anyone out either. From Jews to Arabs, czech’s to the poor oppressed Sudaten Germans. I’m sure you had to be there to get the full impact of the Fuhrer’s delivery. The translation doesn’t do it justice.

"He has not created 7,000,000 Czechs in order that they should supervise 3,500,000 Germans or act as guardians for them and still less to do them violence and torture."

"The misery of the Sudeten Germans is without end. They want to annihilate them. They are being oppressed in an inhuman and intolerable manner and treated in an undignified way."

"and when they are pursued like wild beasts for every expression of their national life [cheers]."

"And I say that if these tortured creatures cannot obtain rights and assistance by themselves, they can obtain both from us"

"the Reich would not tolerate any further continued oppression of 3,500,000 Germans,"

Considering the actual record of the Holocaust, where Hitler carried out just such acts, and worse, against Jews, this is very curious hyperbole for 1938.
