In these eight-minute addresses, Mann condemned Hitler and his 'paladins' as crude philistines completely out of touch with European culture. In one noted speech he said, 'The war is horrible, but it has the advantage of keeping Hitler from making speeches about culture.' Mann was one of the few publicly active opponents of Nazism among German expatriates in the U.S.

Spiritual intolerance, political inquisitions, and declining legal security, and all this in the name of an alleged ‘state of emergency.’...
