Original Note:
This is false, the speech (at least 2 hours long) was translated almost immediately. But outside of Germany, coverage of the speech focused on the geopolitical implications, while the threat to Jews (e.g.,“annihilation of the Jewish race in Europe”) went unremarked. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/30_January_1939_Reichstag_speech#Dissemination_and_reactions https://encyclopedia.ushmm.org/content/en/film/hitler-speaks-before-the-reichstag-german-parliament https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Adolf_Hitler%27s_Address_to_the_Reichstag_(30_January_1939)
