The Speeches of Adolf Hitler, April 1922 – August 1939

The foreword is by the Chairman of the Council at the time, Waldorf Astor, 2nd Viscount Astor. Being a collection of representative passages arranged under subjects, the speeches are neither complete, self-contained, nor necessarily in chronological order. Interviews with journalists are also included. It was edited by Professor Norman Hepburn Baynes who translated from the German at times with a self-confessed difficulty due to a ‘diffuseness‘ in National Socialist terminology. Where authorised English translations existed, Baynes used these. Interviews published in French journals are quoted un-translated. Baynes completed the task over a two-year period commencing with the outbreak of World War II and October 1941. ==Contents of the publication==
