While browsing the general thread I started reading "Why John Can't Think", and found it entertaining, so I figured if I was gonna read it I may as well read it out loud.

This is an important book, and a good lead in to "Churchill's War", which I will also read to you (unless someone with a sexier voice does so first). You may think that in war time the enemy is the enemy and killing any under their banner is justified, but the nature of WW2 was hidden from the public, and, as this book shows, even from the people fighting it. People who should have been collaborators ended up destroying each other's civilizations for the benefit of an alien parasite. The whole thing was a tragedy. Hopefully we can learn from the mistakes that the best of those times made in their glorious effort to break free, and then maybe we can see their ambitions for the future rekindled.

By popular demand actually because I feel like it I present to you the first hour of Goebbels: Mastermind of the Third Reich.

Definitely post Linder's audiobooks. He rambles a lot, but usually has good insight to add. There's also no easy way to download a lot of the books he's done. They're all scattered in parts, making it very time consuming to download them. Would be great to have them more easily accessible.
Read some reviews. Seems like a good book. I'll add it to the queue, but don't expect it for a while, I've already got a few projects going, and other topics besides Hitler and WW2 that I want to cover. Thanks for the suggestion.
Ah, ok. Those are good vids, I've watched them. Irving is a great speaker, and has a great sense of humor.
I've started yet another book that I've been wanting to read before growing season starts where I live.

Alright, Hitler's War is done. I finished what I set out to do. But human desire, and ambition is infinite. There can be no satisfaction in past achievements. We must all endeavor to our graves, so I will continue bringing you books in my beautiful voice, and belching punctuation. Hope you enjoy.

After taking a day's break from reading aloud, and listening back to some of my early recording, I threw up a little bit in my mouth, so I've begun recording over again the offending chapters. I know some people found comments I made in my first attempt at the "Introduction" endearing, but I've redone the whole thing (new version is 10 minutes shorter) with much greater competence for ease of comprehension. Uploading now.
Done. Look for (redone) in the filename.
>They actually did want to conquer the world?
"In eternal battle mankind can find greatness. In eternal peace it will find destruction." - Mein Kampf in 1924
It is central to the philosophy of National Socialism to not just overcome challenges but to seek out new ones, because human ambition is infinite. Satiation is impossible. This doesn't necessarily imply hostility toward any and all "others", but everyone aims to attain 1st place. Germany was/is surrounded by stiff competition all vying for control. Hitler did want peace, but what is the purpose of peace within the context of the above quote? It's to gain an edge.
They were just playing the same game everyone else was.
Rerecorded track 4 of Hitler's War (Triumph of the Will), and did another chapter of Goebbels. Will have some more stuff up later.
What isn't? I just checked. Everything's there.
