Nazi leader Adolf Hitler is seen giving a speech in Essen, Germany at the Krupp Factory 3 years before World War II broke out in this archive footage from 1935.
There have been claims that this speech took place in 1936. A member of the public has written to inform us of the following:
'In the title and thumbnail of the video, the speech is dated 1935. However, I have only been able to find credible resources that it was given in 1936, and I have not found evidence that the Krupp Factory speech was in 1935. For example, USHMM mentions that Hitler gave "Address to Krupp Munition Plant Workers, 28 May 1936."
Also, in the video's description, it is stated that this occurred "3 years before World War II broke out," which seems inconsistent with the usual dating of WWII's start to Sept 1939.'
