Hitler's Final Speech at his Trial for Treason, March 27, 1924

"Then, gentlemen, not you will be the ones to deliver the verdict over us, but that verdict will be given by the eternal judgment of history, which will speak out against the accusation that has been made against us. I know what your judgment will be. But that other court will not ask us: Have you committed high treason or not? That court will judge us, their quartermaster-general of the old army, its officers and soldiers, who as Germans wanted only the best for their people and Fatherland, who fought and who were willing to die. You might just as well find us guilty a thousand times, but the goddess of the eternal court of history will smile and tear up the motions of the state's attorney and the judgment of this court: for she finds us not guilty."

 In his speech he addresses to the court that he is proud of what he had done (attempt to overthrow the Republic) for the beneficial of Germans  and even the court finds him guilty he refers to “eternal court” which might include God as well as Germans will not find him guilty. This passage shows that Hitler is trying to get support from the public by saying that he is right and he did that only to improve or uplift German and destroy Republicans as well as Marxism and mentions that the people who had fought for their country and love their Fatherland would understand. He is portraying himself as a hero in this statement who is willing to do anything for his country.
