Klemperer - Language of the 3rd Reich, Sept. 1934

"Language of the Third Reich: When he spoke to youth in Nurnberg, Hitler also said: 'You sing songs together.' Everything is aimed at deafening the individual in collectivism. -- In general pay attention to the role of radio! Not like other technical achievements: new contents, new philosophy. But: new style. Printed matter suppressed. Oratorical, oral. Primitive -- at a higher level."

-- Sept. 14, 1934
