or was it strategic errors on hitler's part? in fact, with all of hitler's advantages how could he have possibly ever lost this war? andrew roberts' great contribution is to let us participate, in effect, in a grand strategy course centered upon hitler and his generals. of all the books that have been published on world war ii, none before have viewed it from this perspective alone. it is an absolutely intriguing story, and i urge you all to get yourself a copy. surprisingly, there are copies for sale in the corner on the left here. but first, before you rush out to buy this copy, first, a few words from the great historian himself. and, yes, he does turn out to be a young one. andrew roberts. [applause] >> ladies and gentlemen, it's a great honor to be invited to address you this owning, and -- this evening, and thank you very much indeed, roger, for those kind words. it's perfectly true that my book got to number two on the bestseller list beaten only by michael jackson. there we are. [laughter] and in the course, and i'd also

i am not a hitler scholar. i am not the go to guy for hitler and world war ii. there are scholars who have written tremendous workers. -- works. richard evans and adam bullocks, you start with those. you start getting a feel for the territory and start working. you start looking at personal memoirs and things like that, not just of my principals, but of the people they knew and who knew them and to make references to them in their works. then the fun begins. one archive became really valuable at the wisconsin historical society. i found some wonderful materials about and by people who knew and were friends with the dodds in berlin. that is invaluable when somebody else tells you about the key actors in your book. that was in madison, wisconsin, of all places. >> to go back to 1933. connect the dots. you have dodd in the american embassy in germany. hitler is not the top dog. -- he is the chancellor. >> he is not the top dog again. -- yethe will be sent. . >> back in the united states, you have the president. >> and you have the pretty good club. a man came up --

clark's i see hitler and his -- >> i see hitler and his onetime friend and ally/of, ernst rohm, a day -- it is hard to describe their looks. the reason i included that in the book is because it captured their malignant thuggishness. >> what about armstrong? course that was hitler's friend and enforcer, essentially, at the beginning of their rise to ernst what about urge rohm? friend and hitler's enforcer, essentially, at the beginning of their rise to power. >> what is the timeframe of your book? >> mostly, it takes place in 1933-1934. these early days. it is after the time that hitler was appointed chancellor, including the point where he becomes the absolute leader, the fuehrer of germany in the summer of 1934. parks there are three things don't to -- >> they are three things i want to ask you about in the book. >> the u.s.s.r. the storm troopers. ss were the storm troopers. they were a group of men who were supposed to be, initially, hitler's selected guard. the gestapo was an in turley different -- was an entirely different group. it would be a secret police agency to keep tabs on

and hitler told him this. he was boasting about that was hardly enough of the master race when it came to cold weather. having to change into long trousers was always a mystery to me, he said, even when temperatures are template i used to go about and lederhosen. that feeling of freedom they give you is wonderful. abandoning my shorts is one of the biggest sacrifices i have to make. anything up to five degrees below zero i didn't even notice. quite a number of young people today already wear shorts all the around, a special habit. in the future i shall have an brigade in lederhosen. needless to say, as result of on occasion minus 40-degree temperatures they had to face in russia, after disaster overtook them quite apart from the incredible encourage owned by the russian people on the russian army in defending, you can see buildings where there is quite literally not a single brick that doesn't have a bullet hole in it. and the affect of the cold was completely devastating. this is a short quotation from an ita

and -- lit hitler's life. and when they got all the files, bonhoeffer was with technically in what was like the cia, they had smuggled papers there. and when a different faction took over and they got the keys to all the files, he was guilty as could be. >> he was found out. yes, sir. >> so you mentioned that universities in europe became very secular, but africa became very religious. does it bother you that more educated part of population became secular, but very uneducated became very religious? and yesterday professor christopher lectured here, and he said people who do not believe in evolution should not use cell phone. [laughter] or if you don't believe in science, you should not use the fruit of science, you can pray. [laughter] what is your -- >> yeah. i believe in evolution, but i also use a cell phone. [laughter] yeah. well, that's an extreme statement, but there is something to it. in general, it's been not only evolution, but many other features. i did an eight-volume study, six-volume study of fu

here in america, hitler's mine comp. this is something that was written to warn of the impending cataclysm of the world so somebody put this together. part of this is the different parts of what's going on in german but this i love because there was a rumor that hitler was a christian so that's going to be great. this author took the document of the official guide for education of the hitler youth and said there's 50 points they're supposed to teach children in the hitler youth and he's not a christian. here's some of them. have you ever, ever heard this before? one, hitler youth being taught, christianity is a religion for slaves and fools. christianity and communism of identical. it doesn't differentiate between white people and negroes. the new testament is a jewish lie. christianity spoiled the german people because it taught adultery and theft which they had never another. it's a substitute cover for judaism and invented by jews in rome. jesus was a jew. how did christ die? whining on the cross. how did panetta die?

we who like romance say hitler's people turned it off. you could see in the years after world war i and how germany is shipping up to giving total obedience to a furyk. some of the people in the lutheran churches played up to hiterer. they tried to make hitler's germany into a force. the vast majority were silent. he got committed very early and hung out with a whole underground of people. i think the other thing that i would say is the turning point is they knew today we call it the movement and in the 1930s it was being born. they wanted to form what became the world council of churches. it was postponed until after the war because of the war, but he was an early agent of it, and that's one of the things that served this cause. he got to conferences in switzerland and sweden, england, the arch bishop who was over in'den was his -- eden was his contact person. it was the circle he was with and they were aristocratic military people who wanted the allies to drop the idea of unconditional surrender. they said if that happens, germany will

one was in the 1930s we waited too long with hitler. another was in 1941 churchville preemptively destroyed the vichy french fleet harbored in iran. a third was the israeli decision rightly shigeo cyrix reactor in may 1981 without which saddam hussein would've had nuclear weapons by the time of the first gulf war. one final thought on the cost of office, the bush doctrine does not say you go to war with everybody to change the nature of the regime. what it says is when there was a connotation of circus dances, and gathering danger conny tierney that the us sometimes the same for sooner is better than using force later. for the cost of this endeavor, we've heard a lot of pratchett cares about the warfare state. let's be precise. right now the defense budget is 4.7% of the gdp compared to 6.6% under ronald reagan, 8.6 under john f. kennedy. the problem is not military spending. the problem is domestic spending. caught a break that. as ronald reagan often when he rejected isolationism, when he decried appeasement and identify churchill is

he is comparing the summer camp where kids died to the hitler youth in germany. listen to exactly how he put it on his radio show. >> as the thing started to unfold and then there was a shooting at a political camp, which sounds a little like, you know, the hitler youth or whatever. i mean, who does a camp for kids that's all about politics? disturbing. >> it's strange that he would actually say that, kyra, because there are quite a few politically oriented camps in the u.s. by the nine-12 project which is an organization founded by glenn beck himself back in 2009. people are make comments on cnn.com. here is just a couple to give you a flavor. one says he is a disgusting guy who lies constantly. he calls himself a conservative. that's not what's conservatives stand for. someone else writes, kyra, what an utter, heartless, creepy thing to say. >> and it's not the first time that glenn beck has referenced hitler and the holocaust and gotten people pretty upset. >> no. he tends to use it frequently. i was reading a washington post article. for the first 18 months h

some people might argue he's made more hitler references than hitler. of course, that's inaccurate and not true but it was entertaining. that's what he does. he's an entertainer, not unlike howard stern, except for howard's the greatest radio entertainer of all time and everyone knows he's there to entertain. glenn beck, people aren't so sure and they confuse it which is why a lot of people think he's dangerous. the bottom line, there is a comparison between political camps when you're trying to teach young people how to think. however, the hitler youth were trained to be murderers and these kids were going to lead perhaps the most peaceful country in the world for generations to continue being that way. >> roland, you know talk radio. you're on talk radio. was this entertainment? >> first of all, there's no doubt you can classify him as a rodeo clown. he's called himself that. i won't call it entertaining because once you begin to interact and delve into the whole issue of politics, you are separate than other people. i won't try to say he's the same a
