NAZISM

The following passage: Then, gentlemen, not you will be the ones to deliver the verdict over us, but that verdict will be given by the eternal judgment of history, which will speak out against the accusation that has been made against us. I know what your judgment will be. But that other court will not ask us: Have you committed high treason or not? That court will judge us, their quartermaster-general of the old army, its officers and soldiers, who as Germans wanted only the best for their people and Fatherland, who fought and who were willing to die. You might just as well find us guilty a thousand times, but the goddess of the eternal court of history will smile and tear up the motions of the state's attorney and the judgment of this court: for she finds us not guilty.

My interpretation: here in his conclusion paragraph I find his words and use of words very clever. We see here that Hitler believes although the German people, although the world believes that Hitler has done something wrong, has done something to betrayed Germany he is claiming that he was only doing the best for Germany. Hitler believes that he was tearing Marxism away from Germany to build it a new. he believes in order to build Germany to the best of this potential it had to slay Marxism. During this time of this speech Hitler believed even though the people of the court deemed him guilty and in his mind he believed that history, future history will see him as someone who try to change a world to do something great. He may see that him leading Germany may be one of the greatest profound steps Germany has ever seen in finding grand leadership for its nation. It's quite simple really, Hitler thought that he was doing the right thing and that the current courts didn't understand his purpose to crush Marxism and great something greater than himself.
