🗓️ Context: Date: January 30, 1933
Event: Torchlight parade and mass gathering organized by the SA and SS to celebrate Hitler's appointment as Chancellor.
Location: Berlin, notably from the balcony of the Reich Chancellery.
📣 The Speech: Hitler briefly addressed the crowd and said:
"The national revolution has begun. This revolution will go down in history!" (German original: "Die nationale Revolution hat begonnen! Diese Revolution wird in die Geschichte eingehen!")
It was not a full, formal speech, but more of an emotional exclamation to his supporters during the celebratory torchlight procession. The phrase reflected his belief that the Nazi rise to power marked a historic turning point for Germany.
🧠 Historical Impact: This marked the beginning of Nazi rule in Germany.
The term "national revolution" referred to the Nazi seizure of power and their intention to radically transform German society, politics, and institutions.
The speech's tone symbolized the start of the Third Reich, which would ultimately lead to WWII and the Holocaust.
