British historian.
Scope and Content of Collection
Trevor-Roper, professor of history at Oxford, gave this speech on 2 December 1964. He analyzes Hitler in both moral and political
areas. He finds Hitler completely contemptible as a person. He argues that Hitler was much more a skilled politician than
many give him credit; that he was not simply a pawn of others. He notes how successful Hitler was in implementing his plan
outlined in
Mein Kampf before making the poor choice of invading the Soviet Union. From time to time he compares Hitler to past figures such as
Napoleon, Frederick the Great, Lenin, and Bismarck. Parts 1 and 2 contain the speech, part 3 is a question-and-answer session.
