Behind the sound
A speech comparison at the outbreak of war
Harvard’s Nuremberg collection preserves an English text of Hitler’s Reichstag address of 1 September 1939 as document PS-2322. Its catalogue connects the address with the outbreak of war and the regime’s claims about Poland. The title’s month supplies a comparison lead, without identifying the speaker or contents of either file.
Germany invaded Poland on 1 September 1939. Nazi publicity presented the aggression as a defensive response and exploited the staged Gleiwitz incident of the previous day. Those allegations require critical treatment as propaganda, alongside the documented invasion, rather than repetition as factual explanations for it.
The Nuremberg catalogue records PS-2322 in the 1946 publication Nazi Conspiracy and Aggression and links it to the trial’s conspiracy and wars-of-aggression issues. This later evidentiary history distinguishes a speech’s date from its publication and subsequent reuse. None establishes the age, continuity or completeness of these two files.
Presented for critical historical study of propaganda, war and persecution. Nazi and fascist ideology, racial exclusion and violence are not endorsed.
