Peer reviewedBytwerk, Randall L. – Quarterly Journal of Speech, 1981
To meet the Nazi Party's need for speakers, Fritz Reinhardt began a correspondence course in public speaking in 1928 which trained about 6,000 speakers by 1933. This essay examines the techniques Reinhardt used and the contributions his instructions made to the development of the Nazi meetings and Hitler's takeover. (PD)
