And now, 25 years later,here on the Heldenplatz, the Heroes' Square in front of the Hofburg Palace,more than 200,000 people gathered to see Hitler.In this city, Hitler had once longed to be a hero.And now, to the cheering crowd in front of him, he was one.All the most important elements of Hitler's charismatic attraction were on show here in Austria.His mission to unite all Germans under his rule.His ability to establish a connection and express what his audience were wanting and feeling.His vision of a racist state,filled only with those he thought "true" Germans.The hope he offered these people in their economic crisis.
