Hitler’s Use of Ethos, Pathos, and Logos
(The Fuhrer to the German People: June 22, 1941)

Hitler attempts to use this speech as a casus belli against the Soviet Union to present the invasion as a just and necessary act. Hitler was an exceptionally adept speaker, capable of taking a small political party and turning it into a fierce and efficient government, using his speeches and propaganda to persuade millions to his side and unite the shattered German people.

As Führer, Hitler could appeal to ethos with relative ease. As the ruler and uniter of Germany he was well-liked among his people. He painted himself in the light of being under constant strain and threat of the tyrannous major European powers, resorting to armed conflict when it was inevitable. The line “After long months when I was forced to keep silent, despite heavy concerns, the time has come when I can finally speak openly” leads the listener to think that he deeply cares for his country and was forced into silence against his wishes.

Throughout his speech he stakes claims on his fantastical version of recent history. In the statement “When the German Reich received England’s declaration of war on 3 September 1939, the British attempted once again to frustrate any attempt to begin a consolidation, and thus a strengthening, of Europe by fighting the then strongest power on the Continent,” he rewrites history by disregarding the German provocation of England and France by omitting France and the German invasion of Poland on 1 September 1939.

With the blame shifted to England, Hitler was able to logically justify his fabricated claims against other countries to the German people. Further strengthening the German morale and unity against the Allied

In this source analysis, I will look into the speech given by German Social Democrat, Otto Wels on March 23, 1933. It should also be mentioned that Thomas Dunlap translated this speech into English, which will be the primary source for this essay. The speech given by Wells was in protest to Hitler’s Enabling act; a law that would help provide Hitler and his followers with a legal path towards a dictatorship. The vote for the enabling act and the speech given by Wells, were held in the Reichstag on the same day, but as history has shown, Hitler’s Nazi Party prevailed, and the democratic makeup of the Weimer Republic was washed away. The significance of this speech is quite prevalent today, in retrospect to the grisly past of the Third Reich,
