WHAT’S THE CLAIM

FACT CHECK
After watching the clip, it is clear that the voice in the video does not belong to Hitler.
To determine what Hitler actually said, we searched for the original video.
After going through several videos of Hitler’s speeches, we found a YouTube video that matches the viral video. This video has Hitler’s original voice.
You can watch the clip from 41 second-mark.
Hitler says in German:
“Wir wollen nicht lügen und wollen nicht schwindeln! Ich habe deshalb … ich habe deshalb es abgelehnt, jemals vor dieses Volk hinzutreten und billige Versprechungen zu geben.”
It roughly translates in English as:
“We don’t want to lie and we don’t want to cheat. I have therefore refused to ever come before the nation and make cheap promises.”

It was Hitler’s first speech as Germany’s Chancellor, known as Proclamation to the German Nation.

We further cross-verified the German and English transcripts of this speech and found no reference to the alleged words claimed in the viral video. Longer German and English transcripts can be accessed here.
