Remind you of anyone...? "The leader of genius must have the ability to make different opponents appear as if they belong to one category"

Commemorating the Beer Hall Putsch, 1938

Hitler speaks in Munich on the 15th anniversary of the 1923 Beer Hall Putsch, in which Hitler and other Nazi party members attempted to overthrow the German government. Hitler, jailed for a year for his part in the coup attempt, was a master at swaying large crowds. "The leader of genius must have the ability to make different opponents appear as if they belong to one category," he said.
