"Table Talk" Study Hour - Episode 48

Ray Goodwin and Carolyn Yeager read and comment on the August 7- 16, 1942 lunch and dinner table monologues by the German Leader, as taken down in shorthand by aide Heinrich Heim. Included in this episode:

• Churchill to visit Stalin, Hitler is intrigued as to why;
• Germans are in Crimea to stay, says AH, and winning over the peasantry;
• British have no rights to decide anything in Europe, plus Rumanians vs Hungarians and the Viennese;
• Riches of Ukraine, Reichsmarks and Ostmarks, and the parson-class are enemies of the state;
• Very interesting account of presenting the N-S party program to political clubs in 1921-22 with Admiral Schroder, an early supporter;
• Hitler on dance as artistic expression: most beautiful is the waltz, the the Bavarian Schuhplattler done by men;
• Some of the diplomats he's known in Berlin, and comments on Stalin, Churchill and the Malta situation.

A Blogtalk technical problem is the reason there are no images for this show.
