Rhetoric: a political speech that was "a feat of mass hypnosis"

Goebbels' "Total War" speech in Febuary 1943 after Germany's defeat to Soviets at Stalingrad is thought to be a masterly work of political rhetoric. It's also an interesting example of how different audiences heard very different things. Some thought the openness about the serious nature of recent German loses was inspiring because it was honest. Others felt that the call for total war and end of luxury was absurd because standard of living was so low. Others noted its hypnotic effect on the audience. Here's a translation of he speech: http://bit.ly/KXzmQo See Richard Evans' The Third Reich at War pp 424-432.
