That's not all one speech, right? I mean, the quotes are strung together from multiple speeches? Either way, it fascinating to see the "dark side" of history presented in a supportive light. It begs one to ask, "If Hitler was so evil, why did millions of Germans support their government? Why were the German soldiers so incredibly dedicated to their cause?"
It's possible that the German people were brainwashed by a false ideology that ultimately led to their defeat. Such is the mainstream narrative that we've been led to believe. However, it is also possible (dare we say likely?) that a lot of truths have been left out of that narrative in order to ensure unquestioning belief in it.
70+ years down the road, who is to say what the truth really is? Humans are so selfish and greedy, it is becoming very difficult to discern fact from fiction.
It's very possible they, or a component of them, was brainwashed. Why will I believe that? Because I see it every day with other ideologies. In fact it was likely if we understand human nature.

It always had been difficult to discern fact from fiction. Case in point: religion

Yes it is definitely possible, as it can be seen in modern Germany. HOWEVER, the modern brainwashing took decades using media with much higher reach.
