Hitlers rise to power

• Hitler always arrived late which helped to
  develop tension and a sense of expectation. He
  took the stage, stood to attention and waited
  until there was complete silence before he
  started his speech. For the first few months
  Hitler appeared nervous and spoke haltingly.
  Slowly he would begin to relax and his style of
  delivery would change. He would start to rock
  from side to side and begin to gesticulate with
  his hands. His voice would get louder and become
  more passionate. Sweat poured of him, his face
  turned white, his eyes bulged and his voice
  cracked with emotion. He ranted and raved about
  the injustices done to Germany and played on his
  audience's emotions of hatred and envy. By the
  end of the speech the audience would be in a
  state of near hysteria and were willing to do
  whatever Hitler suggested.
• As soon as his speech finished Hitler would
  quickly leave the stage and disappear from view.
  Refusing to be photographed, Hitler's aim was to
  create an air of mystery about himself, hoping
  that it would encourage others to come and hear
  the man who was now being described as "the new
  Messiah".
