Hitler Coming into a Meeting
He enters the room from the back rather than the front this gives the impression that he is emerging from the people. This can be seen in Triumph of the Will, and in many newsreels.

Hitler’s Dumb sidekick
Hess, Hitler’s Deputy, plays dumb so Hitler looks smart. Hess when introducing Hitler is sycophantic, and his speech is simple, eg “Hitler is the Party, Hitler is Germany, Germany is Hitler!” Once again this can be seen in Triumph of the Will.

Hitler Milking the Pause
He does what no other politician would dare do today. He waits a full minute before he starts his speech, so that he is the centre of attention in the hall. He waits for everyone to focus on him and to build up the anticipation of those who are waiting for him to start.

Hitler starts small and builds up to a climax
Unlike Mussolini whose speeches always started big and end big, Hitler started small.

He talks softly and calmly, not saying much in the beginning. After a while he builds up the intensity of his speech, so that he gets more emotional and arousing as he goes on.

He slowly starts to shout whereas Mussolini would start shouting from the first line of his speech. Mussolini would also start with something arousing and continue until the end.
 

Hitler Portayed himself as a Superman who could to stave off the Problems
Hitler consciously cultivated the image of being a superman who alone could solve his country’s problems, principally the Great Depression. Nazism and Fascism were centred around these superman characters of Hilter and Mussolini.

The ordinary people were like extras in the cast of thousands type of  movies. They were there to provide a backdrop to these “supermen” of European politics. This can be seen in Triumph of the Will and in many newsreels of Hitler.

In America, the supermen were in the movies, not in politics. Franklin D. Roosevelt, the American President who also came to power during the Depression (early 1933 - the same time as Hitler) stylised himself as the ordinary man and left the image of the superman to Hollywood movie characters. Roosevelt used fireside chats from his living room (with his wife knitting beside him) to talk to the American people.
