Adolf Hitler's view on race and the German Volk in his talk to Officers of May 1944 has been misrepresented by Veronica Clark in two books that she has sold on Amazon. Carolyn discusses the most interesting parts of the talk and points out the mistakes in Clark's translation:
- Changing the word Volk to Rasse, or race, in one instance where it could not be an honest error (on page 48 of the German copy, shown at right - click on image for enlarged view);
- Other inexplicably poor translation seemingly designed to detract from Hitler's strict attitude on race;
- Attributing to Adolf Hitler in her foreward a false quote that she knew was actually written by another man, Otto Wagener;
- Hadding Scott comes on the line in the last 15 minutes and confirms the correctness of Porter's translation over Clark's in some specific instances.
