Hitler's Speech: Immutability of the Nazi Party
I think that what gets said in the film, especially in the last speech given by Hitler, is seen throughout the film in the form of visuals and symbols that support the ideology of the Nazi party. It seems as though Hitler's primary goal in his final speech is reviewing the hardships that the Nazi party has endured to achieve power, and emphasizing the longevity and stabilizing force that the National Socialists are now offering Germany. He even states that the party's doctrines are unchangeable "like a holy order". This immutability is reiterated throughout the film in other speeches that claim, essentially, that it takes a long time to establish something that will also last a long time.

I agree with Anna. I also think that Hitler makes a point to say that just in case he isn't able to give create the Germany he wants, then it will be up to the youth to do so. Throughout the film emphasis was put on the youth. Many times the camera would show numerous children who were all there soaking in what Hitler was all about. It makes a lot of sense that he would want to speak about the youth and show children within the film, since the Nazi Youth were a big part of his plan for the country. As well as an emphasis on youth, military and all around support and dedication to the Nazi party is really stressed in order for there to be ultimate success.
