Captain Karl Mayr knew Hitler in May 1919.

1919年5月，卡迈尔上尉结识了希特勒。

This time, Hitler was ready to throw in his lot with anyone who would show him kindness.

此时人生正陷入低谷的希特勒会效忠任何善待他的人。

When I first met him, he was like a tired, stray dog looking for a master.

初次同他见面时，他就像条疲惫不堪的流浪狗，正等待主人的领养。

But Mayr detected in Hitler qualities he could use.

但迈尔察觉到希特勒有可以利用的特质。

He decided to train Hitler as a propaganda agent.

因此他下定决心将希特勒培训成宣传员，

Who's that?

请问你找谁？

Hitler was sent on a short course here at the University of Munich and then started giving right-wing speeches to his fellow soldiers, warning of the dangers of Communism.

希特勒被送往慕尼黑大学进行短期培训，之后开始在战友中进行演讲，宣扬他所不认同主义的危险性。

It's only at this point that Hitler's thinking seems to crystallize.

直到此时，希特勒的思想才开始明确。

How many of these ideas were already latent within him is still a matter of debate, but what's certain is that in the summer of 1919, he becomes sure of his beliefs.

有多少想法一直潜藏在他心中尚存疑义，但可以肯定的是，1919年夏天，他开始坚定自己的信仰。

In a letter he wrote in September 1919, Hitler called for the removal of the Jews from Germany and a Government of National Strength.

同年9月，希特勒在心中提到，要将犹太人彻底从德国铲除，并建立具有民族凝聚力的政府。

Now, at the age of 30, Hitler had found his mission in life.

现在，已经而立之年的希特勒确定了自己的人生使命。

And this mission was the first part of his charismatic appeal.

这使他逐渐具有领袖魅力。

Hitler joined the German Workers' Party, one of a huge number of far-right groups in Munich at the time, and started speaking at meetings in beer halls.

希特勒加入德国工党，这里聚集了慕尼黑大批极端右翼分子，他开始在啤酒馆的集会上发表演讲。
