If any party is invoking Hitler as an example of effective public speaking, its far from a silly non-story Orderlimit.
If the Labour party was doing it, there would be an outrage, but as its UKIP, most people take it in their stride, as just another faux pas by a Party that has made an art form out putting its feet in its mouth. Just like London buses, there will be another one along in a minute.

Funny you should mention London buses.
Whenever I think of UKIP, I always image Farage driving a bus which is full of people wearing those little beanie hats with propellors on the top.

When I was 14, I had roughly the same opinion as this guy. I attempted to put my theory into practice when I adopted the rhetorical style of Hitler in a homework assignment. It was a speech about flytipping.
In those excruciating few minutes, I learned the hard way that Hitler's style of oratory may well have been effective for his time, but has been eclipsed by more subtle modes of communication for a very, very good reason.

separating art from artist is always awkward. Refuse to listen to Wagner because he was anti-semitic? Refuse to look at a Caravaggio painting because he was a murderous thug? Refuse to watch a Riefenstahl film because she was a Nazi?
In fact, Riefenstahl's films of the Olympics is imitated all the time, every time a camera glides over an athlete's body: she was pretty much the first one to do that. Was that a "Nazi" film technique, though? Quite possibly: admiration of "muscle", of power, of strength - especially the strength of individuals rather than the masses - is more a rightwing thing than leftwing.
As for Hitler: I'm with the speaker on this. If his oratorical techniques worked, as they surely did, study them and see if you can adopt them. Learning from the best in the field is always a good idea. You're not obliged to use these skills to the same ends.
