Description

Two cards in the format 14 x 9 cm, each on both sides with handwritten notes by Hitler in pencil and pagination on the upper right, minimally stained. After greeting the (tr.) "working men - working maids" he talks about the development of the RAD, (tr.) "before: disorder – now: an army of labour", praises the (tr.) "!gigantic achievement!" of the development of the RAD between "1933 - 1937" and points out (tr.) "above all" the (tr.) "education to national socialism" and the (tr.) "community of the people – it stands above everything else".
Since Hitler had the ability to turn a few keywords into lengthy and verbose monologues, this manuscript, in spite of its brevity, might have been the outline for his speech to the RAD on the Nuremberg
rally 1937.
