Remarks:
As always, please be aware that this speech does contain strong elements of antisemitic rhetoric. Pro-Nazi or Anti-Semitic comments will not be tolerated and will be deleted.
As mentioned in the description, this video is the broadcasted version of the Total War Speech.
There are several different versions of this speech, which all differ from each other.
The two most commonly found versions are the written version, which was published in full in some newspapers the day after the speech, and the version that was broadcasted over radio. There are several discrepancies between these two versions, the radio version is shorter, and a lot of paragraphs are missing, which was most likely done to shorten it a bit for radio transmission. Also, there are a lot of smaller differences between these two versions, some sentences/words are changed etc.
Most versions of this speech you can find online, especially English translations, are based on the written version, so don’t be surprised if some parts from the written version are missing here.
02:03: The 30th of January was the day the Nazis took power in 1933, so it was an important event for them. As always, Hitler gave a public speech on that day, which is what Goebbels is referring here.
03:44 Refers to the German invasion of the Soviet Union.
07:30 The Kremlin is a building complex Moscow, often used metonymically to refer to the Russian government.
11:20 Max Aitken (1879-1964), commonly known as “Lord Beaverbrook”, was a Canadian-British newspaper publisher and politician. During WWII, he held several important positions in the British cabinet, such as Minister of Aircraft Production from May 1940-May 1941, Minister of Supply from June 1941 to February 1942, and Lord Keeper of the Privy Seal from September 1943 to July 1945. He was generally regarded as a very competent and effective politician.
11:36 I’m not sure who exactly Goebbels is referring here to, but “Brown” is a very common name, making it somewhat hard to search for.
14:55 The "Berliner Tagesblatt" was a German Newspaper, published from 1872- 1939. It was considered one of the most prominent liberal newspapers in Germany, especially during the Weimar era. Interestingly enough, even after the Nazis rose to power in 1933, the newspaper remained distant and somewhat critical of the Nazis, because Goebbels wanted to give the impression that a free press still existed in Germany. In 1937, however, the newspaper, like all others in Germany, became openly pro-Nazi. It was cancelled in January 1939.
14:56: The "Vossische Zeitung" was the oldest Berlin Newspaper, its predecessor dating back to 1617. Like the Berliner Tagesblatt, it was one of the most prominent liberal newspapers in Germany, which is why the Nazis forced it to stop publishing in 1934.
19:10 Most likely referring to the 1943 Midlothian and Peebley Northern by-election in Scotland on February 11th, in which the Common Wealth candidate, a British socialist party, received 10,751 out of 22,371 votes.
25:59 The GPU was the secret police of the Soviet Union, formed in 1922. Became part of the NKVD in 1934.
30:38 “Touching someone with glace gloves” is a German saying, meaning to handle someone very carefully. Hence, taking off glace gloves means to stop being careful and sensitive.
35:46 Like Hitler, Goebbels also held a speech on January 30th, in the same location (Berlin Sportpalast)
49:34 Kampfzeit (literaly “fighting period”) is a term used by the Nazis to refer to the time before they were in power, e.g. before 1933.
59:45 "Wheels must roll for victory" (Räder müssen rollen für den Sieg !) was the title of a German railway propaganda campaig, starting in June 1942 and running untill 1943, intended to increase the transport capacity of the German railway, by urging people to abstain from train journeys which are not absolutley necessary. Many posters, leafleats and even a movie were produced for this campaign.
1:01:28 Dr. Robert Ley was head of the German Labor Front from 1933-1945. He was tried at Nuremberg, but committed suicide before the start of the trial, hanging himself in his cell on the 25th of October 1945.
1:01:48 “Uk” means “unabkömmlich” or “indispensable”; during WWII, this was used to refer to people who were exempt from getting drafted because they were considered indispensable at their current position.
1:12:57 Goebbels was, since 1926, the Gauleiter (local Nazi governor) of Berlin, a position he held until the end of the war.
1:18:34 Referring to Frederick II., King of Prussia.
1:21:50 funny joke
1:25:24 Referring to the German capitulation in WWI in November 1918.
1:30:13 The most famous and often repeated part of his speech, the ten questions he asked his audience.
1:35:10 The part where Goebbels asks his famous line: “Do you want total war?”
1:43:28 Fritz Sauckel was Gauleiter in Thuringia from 1927-1945, and from 1942-1945 “General Plenipotentiary for Labour Deployment”. In this position, he was responsible for allocating workers to the German industry and agriculture, which included the use of forced labor. He was tried at the Nuremberg trials and sentenced to death, executed 16 October 1946.
1:46:57 “People, rise up, and storm, break loose!“ (Volk, steh auf und Sturm brich los!) is a slightly changed quote from the poem “Men and Boys” (Männer und Buben) by Theodor Körner from 1813. It has been quoted several times by high-ranking Nazis, the most famous instances being in this speech.
