Many thanks for that. I never knew it existed. A substantial Hitler 
resource, and with the *stated* aim of prsenting allpossible material 
dispassionately.

Here's an interesting excerpt after a quick skim:

    "Thus democracy will in practice lead to the destruction of a 
people's true values. And this also serves to explain how It is that 
peoples with a great past from the time when they surrender themselves 
to the unlimited, democratic rule of the masses slowly lose their 
former position; for the outstanding-achievements of individuals which 
they still possess or which could be produced in all spheres of life 
are now rendered practically ineffective through the oppression of 
mere numbers. And thus in these conditions a people will gradually 
lose its importance not merely in the cultural and economic spheres 
but altogether, in a comparatively short time it will no longer, 
within the setting of the other peoples of the world, maintain its 
former value. . . .  "

                Dusseldorf, Industry Club
                SPEECH OF JANUARY 27, 1932

It looks then like much of western 'democracy' is in safe hands after 
all.
Explains what went wrong with britain in the past cventury or so as 
well :-)

I have read much about Hitler, but little by him. And I must admit 
that I've never been overly attracted by wading through his writings 
and speeches. But, with gems such as the above available, I can see 
that at least a little looking is in order. Sometime anyway :-).
