This article is appalling. Sections such as 'The enraged Hitler spoke out forcefully against the man for the next fifteen minutes uninterrupted, to the astonishment of everyone. One of the founders of the DAP, Anton Drexler, reportedly whispered: "he's got the gift of the gab. We could use him."', 'Hitler read the pamphlet, written by Drexler, and was delighted to find that it reflected political thinking much like his own - building a strong nationalist, pro-military, anti-semitic party made up of working class people.', 'Adolf Hitler joined the committee of the German Workers' Party by becoming the 7th executive member and thus entered politics.' are either factually incorrect, irrelevant or nonsense. Further, there is very, very little need for this article. This information is already in the Adolf Hitler page and the DAP page.

Furthermore, the article name is inappropriate as well. He wasn't inspecting them, he was spying on them. Thedreamdied (talk) 00:26, 15 February 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete Interpretive essay on a minor part of the life of a notable individual. Already covered by German Workers' Party. --Dhartung | Talk 00:42, 15 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete and mainly because it's unsourced. Read Mein Kampf and read Shirer's Rise and Fall of Nazi Germany for further details about this pivotal moment in Hitler's life.  September 12, 1919, was certainly be an important day in retrospect, but that's something that should be covered as part of the article on Hitler, and sourced to the many histories that have been written about Der Fuehrer.
