Can't seem to get that here (copyright restrictions), but I agree with 
your point. Still I think one should note, that behaviour, which seems 
exagerrated and even funny today, at that time might have been seen as 
quite impressive and charismatic. (One example is the rolling "r", which 
was used much more back than I think - I can't really pronounce it like 
that :)). But come to think of it, it might also have to do with south 
german / austrian origin of Hitler. I have sometimes trouble 
understanding Bavarians.
