Adolf Hitler, Proclamation to the German Nation, February 1, 1933

The theme of this reading is that which Hitler is telling Germany what is is going to do to bring the nation out of the bad spot in which they were in. When Hitler said "May God Almighty give our work His blessing, strengthen our purpose, and endow us with wisdom and the trust of our people, for we are fighting not for ourselves but for Germany." it really stuck out to me. This stuck out to me for many different reason, the fist being that Hitler is saying that God Almighty give Germany a blessing. The second this that stuck out to me out this is that this is how Hitler finished what he was saying. I wonder why he saved this for the end of his proclamation? I would have to say that he saved this till the end to show the people of Germany that Hitler is putting God first with what he is doing because God is where all hope lays.

This generated the idea that something many seem nice on the outside but that does not mean that is is that nice on the inside. Hitler made what he was doing for Germany seem like the best thing for Germany. But in all reality what he did was not what Germany needed but at the time it seemed right. It makes the statement that you cannot judge a book by its cover. You have to look at it more than just the cover to see if it is a good book. Hitler looked like a good book for Germany but the pages in the book were not as good as the cover made them look.

This reading connects to today with how a lot of people are like Hitler they make it seem like they have all the best in mind for those around them but their way of going about it may not be the best way for it to happen. People always try to see the best in people but like I said before the cover of a book is not always right with what the pages say. The pages till the real story of the book the cover can be misleading. You must look at more in people than what they want you to see.

This relates to the reading because it shows what Hitler was trying to do for Germany. What he was try to do and what he really thought that he was doing. Hitler did what he thought was best for Germany but in his own mind it was right. What he thought might not have been what was best but it is history. Without that history who knows history may not have been the same as it is now.
