Who taught Adolph Hitler to be a great speaker and better presenter of his views to the crowds?

Question

I'm repeating this because I went to add comments and hit vote instead.

Just came across something of interest on Hitler on the History Channel. He was a very poor public speaker and had to be taught to do it better. He had what we today call spin doctors, who taught him the best way to put a good spin on his beliefs. It surprised me who it was that first taught him, in 1919, what he needed to know. This was after a very disastrous speech in which he was booed from the stage in 1919, five years before the Nazi party took note of him.

It is only recently that this was learned, from silent home movies which has been sitting in storage since the end of the war. They had begun using lip readers to translate the movies

His frist speech was soon after leaving the military, so he had no resources to pay anyone to help him.

It is on today's History Channel program "The Private Voice of Hitler." This is a new program.

Answer 1

Hitler was taught theatrical gestures by a well known actor from the German stage, but I forget the guy's name. It made his simple speeches more dramatic and fired up a rather depressed German folk who were searching for someone to blame for the current financial slump Germany was experiencing at the time of Hitler's rise.

I believe he was demonically possessed, too. I mean when your game plan involves the murder of millions of people, you are not working alone. You got demonic help all over the place.

Answer 2

I've read biographies of Hitler and this is new to me.
His way to defeat opponents was to scream at them. He remained a screamer all his life. Goebbels was a much smoother talker (and much better educated), which is why he was chosen as the propaganda minister.
The sources about Hitler can be very biased. For an interesting take on the whole era, check out "Inside the Third Reich" by Albert Speer.

Answer 3

I don't remember where I read this, but Adolph Hitler used advertising agencies to present his program with dramatic stage sets, symbols, graphics, etc.

Answer 4

In all the books and information I have read on him I gahered that when he went to the underground workers meetings or whatever they were he spoke in front of them
