The Speeches of Adolf Hitler, April 1922 – August 1939 - Alchetron, the free social encyclopedia

A two-volume work titled The Speeches of Adolf Hitler April 1922 – August 1939 was published by Oxford University Press in 1942 under auspices of the Royal Institute of International Affairs.

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.
