00:00:11,560 --> 00:00:15,160
Paul Dickopf, a top officialwith an apparently clean record,
6
00:00:15,240 --> 00:00:18,280
suggests that he had beenan opponent of the Nazis.
7
00:00:22,080 --> 00:00:28,280
Until 1971 and the Brandt era, he isWest Germany's top criminal investigator.
8
00:00:36,320 --> 00:00:40,240
{\an8}Anyone who criticized him
or threatened him,
9
00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:41,640
{\an8}he never forgot that.
10
00:00:41,720 --> 00:00:43,600
{\an8}He was very unforgiving
11
00:00:43,680 --> 00:00:48,200
{\an8}and he also destroyed people like that.
12
00:00:50,160 --> 00:00:53,080
Dickopf doesn't just pursuea career in West Germany.
13
00:00:53,560 --> 00:00:56,720
In 1968, he becomes the head of Interpol.
14
00:00:58,160 --> 00:01:01,800
Now it is his jobto fight international crime.
15
00:01:04,440 --> 00:01:08,680
Interior Minister Genscher
said at Dickopf's farewell
16
00:01:08,760 --> 00:01:12,720
that he was an example
to the police throughout Germany.
17
00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:18,200
After Dickopf's death in 1973,
18
00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:22,160
officials do researchfor the obituary of the former president.
19
00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:24,600
What they find leaves them speechless.
20
00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:29,120
They expose Dickopf as a committed Nazi.
21
00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:32,280
His lifelong lie is now uncovered.
22
00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:33,200
IDENTITY CARD
23
00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:36,960
Dickopf was not justa member of the SS and a Nazi spy.
24
00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:40,040
Shortly before the end of the war,he switched sides
25
00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:42,920
and began workingas an agent for the Americans.
26
00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:52,200
{\an8}Many CIA documentshave information about Caravel.
27
00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:54,240
{\an8}That was Dickopf's CIA code name.
28
00:01:56,840 --> 00:02:00,160
{\an8}Germany's top police officerprovides secret information
29
00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:02,800
from government circlesin Bonn for payment.
30
00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:11,720
Chancellor Willy Brandt and his Ostpolitik
31
00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:14,440
were of particular interestto the Americans.
32
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:17,640
Dickopf readily provided information…
33
00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:22,560
like many other Nazis during the Cold War.
34
00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:26,400
They became willing helpers, spies
35
00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:30,920
because the US intelligence servicescould use their past to blackmail them.
36
00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:38,320
{\an8}It rarely bothered the Americans
37
00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:41,560
{\an8}that certain people that they needed
38
00:02:41,640 --> 00:02:47,200
{\an8}had been close to
mass murderers, extremists, or terrorists.
39
00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:49,480
The ends justified the means.
40
00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:53,520
The American intelligence serviceswere fighting a new enemy, communism,
41
00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:56,560
with the help of Naziswho worked for them as spies.
42
00:02:56,640 --> 00:02:58,880
For them, it wasn'tabout punishing criminals.
43
00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:04,920
{\an8}As the Cold War grew hot,
these Nazi collaborators
44
00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:10,080
{\an8}became the pawns of western intelligence
services for a variety of reasons.
45
00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:16,400
They were used for covert operations
and this type of thing.
46
00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:41,240
Only now are many intelligence servicesfiles from the Cold War accessible,
47
00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:45,960
documents about Nazis who as agents,became willing collaborators with the CIA,
48
00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:47,560
such as Eugen Steimle.
49
00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:49,520
His case was previously unknown.
50
00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:54,080
This committed Nazi was in chargeof firing squads in the Soviet Union.
51
00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:01,680
Steimle was presumed deadat the end of the war,
52
00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:05,240
as one of the victimsof a Lufthansa plane that crashed
53
00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:09,240
on April 20, 1945 near Nuremberg.
54
00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:12,880
Eyewitnesses saw the burning plane.
55
00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:16,760
The crash site in the Piesenkofen forestcan still be seen today.
56
00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:21,440
Here we can see the crater
caused by the crash.
57
00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:26,880
At the time,local residents collected everything
58
00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:29,160
they could find in the wreckage.
59
00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:36,400
This included a briefcasewith documents and identity cards,
60
00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:37,840
including Steimle's.
61
00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:41,240
The briefcase was takento local Nazi Party headquarters.
62
00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:46,000
A few days later,US troops marched into the area.
63
00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:49,360
The briefcase was confiscatedby the Army's intelligence service.
64
00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:54,440
The Americans were looking for Nazisthey could use for their own purposes.
65
00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:57,280
Thus, every personal detailwas useful to them.
66
00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:00,640
They suspectedthat Steimle was still alive.
67
00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:04,080
CIA documentson the contents of the briefcase
68
00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:06,640
now enable us to reconstruct the events.
69
00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:08,040
SENIOR OFFICIAL EUGEN STEIMLE
70
00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:13,240
On April 20, 1945, in the middleof the final battle for Berlin,
71
00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:16,480
the last Lufthansa planetakes off from Tempelhof.
72
00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:19,680
Following Hitler's demise,the passengers know
73
00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:23,000
the pact between the Russiansand the West is worthless.
74
00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:31,360
On board the Condorare more than 20 passengers,
75
00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:34,280
including several men in leather coats.
76
00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:42,800
The captain seeks the cover of darkness.
77
00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:44,400
The weather is bad.
78
00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:47,720
Their destination is Spainwith a stop in Munich for fuel.
79
00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:57,640
{\an8}I can still remember my father saying
at breakfast in the morning.
80
00:05:57,720 --> 00:05:58,840
{\an8}KARL WEISS
EYEWITNESS
81
00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:03,040
{\an8}"A plane flew over
making a loud rumbling noise."
82
00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:09,600
My friend lives close to here
83
00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:14,560
{\an8}and in the evening, a burning plane
flew over the roof of her house.
84
00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:18,200
And in a complete panic,
her mother grabbed both children,
85
00:06:18,280 --> 00:06:21,200
and threw herself and them to the floor.
86
00:06:21,280 --> 00:06:25,360
She said, "Your father died in the war.
Now we'll all die together."
87
00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:28,920
The plane crashes in the forest.
88
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:30,760
None of the passengers survive.
89
00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:35,120
Were high-ranking Nazis tryingto escape to Spain on the Condor?
90
00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:36,400
Who was on board?
91
00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:41,120
The American intelligence services flythe briefcase and documents to the USA.
92
00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:51,960
The agents in Washington knowthe end of the war marks the beginning
93
00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:55,640
of a new chapter in the confrontationbetween the superpowers.
94
00:06:55,720 --> 00:06:57,440
To gain an advantage,
95
00:06:57,520 --> 00:07:03,240
they will force former Nazi officersto work for their organization.
96
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:09,760
The Americans are successful.
97
00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:14,000
One person in the documentsparticularly catches their eye,
98
00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:17,600
the former SS Standartenführernamed Eugen Steimle.
99
00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:22,760
Their research reveals that the manwas responsible for mass murder in Russia.
100
00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:29,800
The agents have reasonto believe he is not dead.
101
00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:35,120
Several witnesses claimto have seen him after the crash.
102
00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:46,640
Again they question the populationnear the site of the crash.
103
00:07:49,640 --> 00:07:51,560
Steimle is a war criminal.
104
00:07:52,200 --> 00:07:53,880
He is very valuable to them.
105
00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:04,960
{\an8}It was impossible
to systematically recruit Nazis as agents
106
00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:10,400
{\an8}without also systematically recruiting
war criminals. Those things went together.
107
00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:15,480
The Americans search all over Germany
108
00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:19,200
for the former SS intelligence officer,Eugen Steimle.
109
00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:23,320
He is hiding in his home region,the Black Forest.
110
00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:30,320
The noose gets tighter and tighter.
111
00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:35,960
In autumn 1945,he can see only one way out.
112
00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:38,960
He turns himself in and is interrogated.
113
00:08:39,680 --> 00:08:42,120
He knows he has one last chance.
114
00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:43,720
To tell all.
115
00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:49,720
A defector who has something to hide,
116
00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:52,920
{\an8}for example, acts of murder,
117
00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:54,560
{\an8}is open to blackmail,
118
00:08:54,640 --> 00:08:58,720
{\an8}and is therefore a complaint tool
in the hands of his new handlers.
119
00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:00,920
Steimle collaborates.
120
00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:05,040
His statementsand the documents from the briefcase
121
00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:09,360
help the Americans uncoverthe German spy network in Spain.
122
00:09:10,560 --> 00:09:12,920
This means knowing about dozens of Nazis
123
00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:16,680
who do not want to acceptthe collapse of the Third Reich,
124
00:09:16,760 --> 00:09:20,080
who are already workingon their next delusional plan
125
00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:21,720
of a Fourth Reich.
126
00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:24,320
The goal is worldwide fascism.
127
00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:28,760
From now on,the Americans can observe their activities
128
00:09:28,840 --> 00:09:31,680
and enlist the agentsin Spain to work for them.
129
00:09:36,960 --> 00:09:40,720
After the interrogation,Steimle is sentenced to death by hanging
130
00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:42,960
but is then surprisingly pardoned.
131
00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:47,560
Did the US intelligence services enlisthim as a spy and influence the verdict?
132
00:09:47,640 --> 00:09:48,920
It cannot be proved.
133
00:09:49,560 --> 00:09:51,120
Important files are missing,
134
00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:54,240
above all from the US interrogation centerin Oberursel.
135
00:09:57,920 --> 00:10:00,440
Nazis are made into agents.
136
00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:04,680
US intelligence serviceswant to enlist more than just spies.
137
00:10:05,680 --> 00:10:09,360
They also wantto get their hands on Nazi treasure.
138
00:10:17,080 --> 00:10:18,840
Up until the end of the war,
139
00:10:18,920 --> 00:10:22,160
the Allies maintainedthe myth of the Alpine Fortress,
140
00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:24,920
the supposed refuge for the Nazis.
141
00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:29,320
Treasure hunterscontinue to visit the area.
142
00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:32,120
They are on the trailof the missing Nazi gold.
143
00:10:34,920 --> 00:10:38,200
But can anyof this treasure still be found?
144
00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:48,440
Facing defeat towards the end of the war,
145
00:10:48,520 --> 00:10:52,200
German industry made arrangementsfor keeping its capital safe.
146
00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:04,400
{\an8}This was very dangerous
to have such a discussion.
147
00:11:05,520 --> 00:11:08,000
{\an8}Nevertheless, the alternative
of losing everything
148
00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:10,760
{\an8}after Hitler's death
was even more dangerous.
149
00:11:12,400 --> 00:11:13,800
So, they drew up plans.
150
00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:19,400
Some of these documents
and plans still exist.
151
00:11:19,480 --> 00:11:22,960
They had to attempt to reconstitute
Germany after Hitler left.
152
00:11:29,720 --> 00:11:34,160
These activities did not stay hiddenfrom the Allied intelligence services.
153
00:11:35,160 --> 00:11:38,800
They launched a giganticworldwide surveillance operation.
154
00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:43,040
It was code named Safehaven.
155
00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:50,320
{\an8}Safehaven was the name
of a US government program.
156
00:11:50,840 --> 00:11:55,800
{\an8}The aim was to track down the assets
that the Nazis had seized in Europe,
157
00:11:55,880 --> 00:12:01,520
{\an8}assets that the Nazis tried to distribute
throughout the world for use after 1945.
158
00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:10,040
The Americans also knew that such planswere even hatched in the Reich Chancellery
159
00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:12,560
on the orders of Reichsminister Bormann.
160
00:12:13,120 --> 00:12:14,840
It didn't escape them
161
00:12:14,920 --> 00:12:18,400
that a network of foreign firmswas set up to safely invest the funds.
162
00:12:18,880 --> 00:12:21,600
One preferred locationfor the Nazis was Monaco.
163
00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:26,760
There were numerous shell companiesthat had millions at their disposal.
164
00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:30,200
One of these firmswas officially a broadcasting company.
165
00:12:30,280 --> 00:12:32,520
Sitting on the board was no stranger,
166
00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:34,880
Kurt Georg Kiesinger.
167
00:12:34,960 --> 00:12:38,360
LAWYER KURT GEORG KIESINGER
(FOREIGN OFFICE)
168
00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:40,760
He became Chancellor of West Germany.
169
00:12:40,840 --> 00:12:45,000
Having worked for the Foreignand Propaganda Ministry in the Third Reich
170
00:12:45,080 --> 00:12:46,840
did not harm his career.
171
00:12:53,680 --> 00:12:58,240
Allied agents gave detailed reportsabout the transfer of the funds.
172
00:12:58,320 --> 00:13:01,520
Sometimes they could evensneak people into meetings.
173
00:13:05,160 --> 00:13:09,400
Leading this spy operationwas Allen Dulles,
174
00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:13,120
a US agent in Switzerlandand later the head of the CIA.
175
00:13:14,680 --> 00:13:19,040
He knew how to use his knowledgeof the financial machinations of the Nazis
176
00:13:19,120 --> 00:13:21,000
for his career in Washington.
177
00:13:28,760 --> 00:13:31,320
After the Reichsbankin Berlin is destroyed
178
00:13:31,400 --> 00:13:35,240
in a bombing raid in March 1945shortly before the end of the war,
179
00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:37,880
gold and currency are lying in the open.
180
00:13:41,640 --> 00:13:45,280
Now the plans are put into actionsand the evacuation begins,
181
00:13:45,360 --> 00:13:46,680
quickly and carefully.
182
00:13:47,280 --> 00:13:50,680
Three hundred and sixty tonnes of gold,300 tonnes of silver,
183
00:13:50,760 --> 00:13:52,640
and banknotes are loaded up.
184
00:13:52,720 --> 00:13:55,640
Everything is meticulouslyrecorded and checked.
185
00:13:55,720 --> 00:13:58,960
At the last moment,the Nazi treasure is taken away.
186
00:14:00,520 --> 00:14:03,600
Documents about the Reichsbank goldlie undiscovered
187
00:14:03,680 --> 00:14:05,880
in the Bundesbank for over 60 years.
188
00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:08,520
Karl Bernd Essereventually finds them there.
189
00:14:09,880 --> 00:14:13,280
All the gold
from these Reichsbank branches
190
00:14:13,960 --> 00:14:17,920
{\an8}was moved
to a central location in Merkers,
191
00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:21,240
{\an8}or to certain depots in Bavaria.
192
00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:24,960
Now the time has come for the Americans.
193
00:14:25,880 --> 00:14:27,960
Thanks to Operation Safehaven,
194
00:14:28,040 --> 00:14:31,320
they know exactly where the goldis stored in the mountains.
195
00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:37,120
They reach the salt minein the Soviet occupied zone of Thuringia,
196
00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:39,040
even before the Soviets do.
197
00:14:40,440 --> 00:14:45,400
They simply declare the Reichsbank goldto be stolen Nazi gold.
198
00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:51,320
The Americans also retrieveother treasure stored in the tunnel,
199
00:14:51,400 --> 00:14:56,000
Italian state treasure and gold fromthe National Bank of Bohemia and Moravia.
200
00:15:01,440 --> 00:15:05,000
Were the hiding places in the Alpsalso cleared out long ago?
201
00:15:08,520 --> 00:15:12,040
They certainly can't find
any gold in Bavaria.
202
00:15:12,120 --> 00:15:14,200
There is a settlement document
203
00:15:14,280 --> 00:15:17,880
stating what gold the Reichsbank
had hidden in various depots.
204
00:15:18,880 --> 00:15:22,720
These depots were all found,
mainly by the Americans.
205
00:15:22,800 --> 00:15:26,240
They even crossed over
into the Soviet zone,
206
00:15:26,320 --> 00:15:32,760
and very quickly cleared the main depot
in Merkers which was in the eastern zone.
207
00:15:33,400 --> 00:15:35,760
Karl Bernd Esser regards this as theft.
208
00:15:36,400 --> 00:15:38,400
Their share of the Marshall Plan,
209
00:15:38,480 --> 00:15:41,600
of American loansfor the reconstruction of Europe,
210
00:15:41,680 --> 00:15:46,320
had been paid twice by the Germans,first with the Reichsbank gold,
211
00:15:46,400 --> 00:15:49,120
then againwith repayments in Deutsche Marks.
212
00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:56,320
The Marshall Plan was a successful method
invented by the Americans
213
00:15:56,400 --> 00:15:58,960
{\an8}to surreptitiously trick their friends.
214
00:15:59,040 --> 00:16:02,800
{\an8}I take 1,000 euros from you
and you don't notice,
215
00:16:02,880 --> 00:16:07,800
{\an8}then I give you a 1,000-euro loan
on which you pay interest.
216
00:16:07,880 --> 00:16:11,560
Meanwhile, you're thinking,
"Oh, how nice of you."
217
00:16:12,200 --> 00:16:16,600
But, in reality, I stole the 1,000 euros
from you. Only, you didn't notice.
218
00:16:17,840 --> 00:16:22,440
US intelligence also usesits knowledge and treasure beyond Germany.
219
00:16:23,200 --> 00:16:26,760
It recruits fascistsin Italy during the Cold War.
220
00:16:27,480 --> 00:16:30,440
They are to fight communismon behalf of the Americans.
221
00:16:37,400 --> 00:16:41,480
Since the 1960s, Italy is shakenby a series of bomb attacks.
222
00:16:41,560 --> 00:16:43,200
Hundreds of people die.
223
00:16:43,280 --> 00:16:45,800
These acts are first blamed on leftists,
224
00:16:45,880 --> 00:16:49,480
but it has been shownthat they were committed by the far right.
225
00:16:51,120 --> 00:16:54,640
Stefano Delle Chiaiebcame the leader of the new right.
226
00:16:54,720 --> 00:16:58,800
He is accused of many terrorist attacksbut has never been convicted.
227
00:17:05,320 --> 00:17:08,640
Our political position
was very simple and quite clear.
228
00:17:09,400 --> 00:17:12,160
{\an8}It was based on the historical experience
229
00:17:12,240 --> 00:17:15,880
{\an8}that we greatly respected,
which was that of fascism.
230
00:17:16,800 --> 00:17:20,040
{\an8}We tried to make
the basic values of fascism the reality
231
00:17:20,120 --> 00:17:21,960
that dictated our environment.
232
00:17:24,800 --> 00:17:28,760
In 1970, the fascists and their backerswant to stage a coup in Italy
233
00:17:28,840 --> 00:17:30,800
and eliminate the left-wing parties.
234
00:17:38,360 --> 00:17:42,000
{\an8}We know that the CIA
was informed of this plan.
235
00:17:44,040 --> 00:17:48,120
{\an8}On December 7, Delle Chiaie's rebels,
236
00:17:48,200 --> 00:17:53,280
{\an8}the ultra-right Avanguardia Nazionale,and parts of the military make their move.
237
00:17:53,360 --> 00:17:55,920
The state broadcast stationis their first target
238
00:17:56,000 --> 00:17:57,480
and government buildings.
239
00:18:03,800 --> 00:18:08,480
Stefano Delle Chiaie's rebels believethey are acting in their own interests.
240
00:18:08,560 --> 00:18:11,520
But the coup attemptis controlled from elsewhere,
241
00:18:11,600 --> 00:18:15,560
even if Delle Chiaieproudly takes responsibility to this day.
242
00:18:19,920 --> 00:18:24,320
I was responsible
morally and politically for the coup.
243
00:18:24,400 --> 00:18:26,640
{\an8}Even if I wasn't in Italy at the time.
244
00:18:27,680 --> 00:18:30,400
{\an8}The commander had prepared a perfect plan.
245
00:18:31,040 --> 00:18:36,920
{\an8}Basically, he envisaged initiating a chain
of command from the Ministry of Defense.
246
00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:39,440
All our plans were ready and secured.
247
00:18:40,520 --> 00:18:43,640
All military units
would have been deployed,
248
00:18:44,360 --> 00:18:48,160
and they would have occupied
all strategic points in the country.
249
00:18:51,880 --> 00:18:55,320
The fight against the lefthas a long history in Italy.
250
00:18:56,160 --> 00:18:59,760
US intelligence services have hada hand in this from the beginning.
251
00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:03,440
Their influence beginswith the invasion of Sicily.
252
00:19:03,520 --> 00:19:06,360
Allied soldiers overpower the Axis powers.
253
00:19:10,680 --> 00:19:13,760
But some Italian military unitsrefuse to surrender
254
00:19:13,840 --> 00:19:17,760
and continue fightingon the German side until 1945.
255
00:19:17,840 --> 00:19:20,080
One unit is particularly feared,
256
00:19:20,160 --> 00:19:21,960
the Decima Flottiglia MAS,
257
00:19:22,040 --> 00:19:24,400
the world's first combat frogman unit.
258
00:19:24,480 --> 00:19:28,760
Their daring operationsare feared and admired by the Allies.
259
00:19:29,480 --> 00:19:33,480
The unit's commanderis Valerio Borghese, the Black Prince.
260
00:19:35,800 --> 00:19:38,240
Prince Borghese's Decima MAS
261
00:19:38,320 --> 00:19:40,400
{\an8}was probably the best trained
262
00:19:40,480 --> 00:19:43,880
{\an8}and most motivated unit
of the entire fascist republic.
263
00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:48,680
It takes another two years
264
00:19:48,760 --> 00:19:51,120
before World War II is won in Italy.
265
00:19:54,640 --> 00:19:57,120
When the Americansfinally march into Rome,
266
00:19:57,200 --> 00:19:59,200
they are welcomed as liberators.
267
00:20:01,920 --> 00:20:03,240
This includes the Pope.
268
00:20:03,320 --> 00:20:08,120
He shares the fear of the victors thatthere may be a shift to the left in Italy…
269
00:20:12,280 --> 00:20:15,120
because the communistsare gaining in strength.
270
00:20:27,960 --> 00:20:32,640
{\an8}The goal of the Americans was to keep
the communists out of power
271
00:20:32,720 --> 00:20:36,680
{\an8}and also to cut off
any communist support from abroad.
272
00:20:40,120 --> 00:20:44,160
CIA agent James Jesus Angletonprepares a coup
273
00:20:44,240 --> 00:20:46,640
in case the communists win the election.
274
00:20:49,840 --> 00:20:53,920
Angleton knew many people
and had the best connections in Italy.
275
00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:56,520
He spoke Italian
and was close to the Vatican,
276
00:20:56,600 --> 00:21:00,640
which had the most efficient
intelligence service in the world,
277
00:21:00,720 --> 00:21:01,880
and maybe still does.
278
00:21:03,840 --> 00:21:06,320
Angleton and Borghese became good friends.
279
00:21:06,400 --> 00:21:11,000
Borghese came from the fascist movement
and founded the Fronte Nazionale
280
00:21:11,080 --> 00:21:14,440
in order to unite
the various right-wing movements.
281
00:21:14,520 --> 00:21:18,320
All of that was intended
to prevent a shift to the left in Italy,
282
00:21:18,400 --> 00:21:21,880
because the left
was gaining in strength in Italy.
283
00:21:27,480 --> 00:21:30,240
In order to fightagainst the Communist Party,
284
00:21:30,320 --> 00:21:32,280
the CIA recruited Borghese.
285
00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:35,280
The communists are his deadly enemies.
286
00:21:35,360 --> 00:21:38,040
At the end of the war,they almost killed him.
287
00:21:45,320 --> 00:21:48,680
Angleton succeeded
in convincing the US government
288
00:21:49,320 --> 00:21:54,320
{\an8}that the 1948 elections would lead
to a communist government in Italy.
289
00:21:55,480 --> 00:21:58,800
{\an8}Therefore, the Americans
should raise millions of dollars
290
00:21:58,880 --> 00:22:03,200
to influence the elections and above all
to fight the left-wing candidates
291
00:22:03,280 --> 00:22:04,440
in these elections.
292
00:22:08,440 --> 00:22:09,280
REICHSBANK
293
00:22:09,360 --> 00:22:11,840
Now Operation Safehaven is paying off.
294
00:22:12,400 --> 00:22:15,720
The Americans usethe confiscated Nazi loot.
295
00:22:15,800 --> 00:22:20,160
Angleton uses it to finance his operationsagainst the Italian communists.
296
00:22:20,760 --> 00:22:25,240
These assets were never returnedto Nazi victims or their relatives.
297
00:22:25,320 --> 00:22:27,880
200 000 RM
NO LIABILITY ASSUMED, COUNT ON RECEIPT
298
00:22:28,680 --> 00:22:32,240
The money
frequently belonged to Europe's Jews.
299
00:22:32,320 --> 00:22:33,960
It was stolen by the Nazis.
300
00:22:34,760 --> 00:22:38,400
It stemmed from
the so-called Exchange Stabilization Fund,
301
00:22:38,480 --> 00:22:41,560
part of the economic blockade
of Nazi Germany.
302
00:22:41,640 --> 00:22:44,840
These were capital assets
confiscated from the Nazis.
303
00:22:46,640 --> 00:22:49,480
Angleton also establishes a partisan army.
304
00:22:50,720 --> 00:22:54,000
This is rare original footageof them training.
305
00:22:54,920 --> 00:22:58,320
Among the partisansare many battle-hardened fascists
306
00:22:58,400 --> 00:23:00,520
from Borghese's combat frogman unit.
307
00:23:01,360 --> 00:23:05,880
The unit is named Gladio and it isunder the sole control of the CIA.
308
00:23:08,800 --> 00:23:12,840
In the event that Italy
democratically voted for socialism,
309
00:23:13,720 --> 00:23:17,320
these paid, ideologically trained
and battle-ready elements
310
00:23:17,400 --> 00:23:22,080
would have taken action to overthrow
that democratically elected government.
311
00:23:24,200 --> 00:23:26,720
But Gladio is not deployed.
312
00:23:26,800 --> 00:23:29,880
The communists losethe first election after the war.
313
00:23:29,960 --> 00:23:31,680
{\an8}Emotions run high.
314
00:23:31,760 --> 00:23:36,480
{\an8}The Soviets have to accept that Italyis now in the US sphere of influence.
315
00:23:37,360 --> 00:23:41,960
For all those who want a third way,the term "Yalta" indicates an obstacle.
316
00:23:48,040 --> 00:23:52,280
{\an8}Yalta refers to the agreement
that was signed by the victorious powers,
317
00:23:52,360 --> 00:23:56,360
{\an8}more precisely
Russia, Great Britain, and the USA,
318
00:23:56,440 --> 00:23:59,120
who divided the world between them
319
00:23:59,200 --> 00:24:02,680
into future zones of influence,
and above all Europe.
320
00:24:03,520 --> 00:24:07,480
This agreement remained
until the collapse of the Soviet Union
321
00:24:07,560 --> 00:24:09,440
and the fall of the Berlin Wall.
322
00:24:11,240 --> 00:24:15,720
In Italy, Yalta means beingunder the influence of the US.
323
00:24:15,800 --> 00:24:19,800
It is clear that if their politicaland strategic interests are at stake,
324
00:24:19,880 --> 00:24:22,200
the Americans will take drastic action.
325
00:24:22,280 --> 00:24:26,000
They will not allow a third powerto come between the two blocs.
326
00:24:31,000 --> 00:24:32,360
In the post-Yalta world,
327
00:24:32,440 --> 00:24:36,040
in which borders between the blocs
were strictly enforced,
328
00:24:36,120 --> 00:24:39,440
the dominant hegemonic powers
suppressed all uprisings.
329
00:24:39,520 --> 00:24:44,600
This applies to Hungary in 1956,
June 17, 1953 in Berlin,
330
00:24:44,680 --> 00:24:46,440
and for all other revolts.
331
00:24:46,520 --> 00:24:50,720
And terrorism in Italy and Germany
ultimately served only one purpose,
332
00:24:50,800 --> 00:24:53,640
to stabilize the political status quo.
333
00:24:54,520 --> 00:24:59,880
This includes the murder of the ItalianPrime Minister, Aldo Moro, in 1978.
334
00:24:59,960 --> 00:25:03,120
He was kidnappedand shot by the Red Brigades.
335
00:25:03,200 --> 00:25:07,200
Numerous agents and intelligence serviceswere caught up in the affair.
336
00:25:07,280 --> 00:25:12,320
Many Italians believe that Moro was killedbecause he wanted to pursue a third way
337
00:25:12,400 --> 00:25:13,680
that countervailed Yalta.
338
00:25:16,960 --> 00:25:21,560
Other powers are also involvedin the attempted coup in 1970.
339
00:25:21,640 --> 00:25:24,560
Borghese and Delle Chiaie are just pawns.
340
00:25:32,200 --> 00:25:34,600
We know of a telephone call to Borghese
341
00:25:34,680 --> 00:25:37,280
between one
and two o'clock in the morning.
342
00:25:37,360 --> 00:25:39,280
That's how the coup was stopped.
343
00:25:41,200 --> 00:25:45,400
We also know that Borghese had a call
with a high-ranking politician.
344
00:25:48,520 --> 00:25:50,640
In his diary, Borghese claims
345
00:25:50,720 --> 00:25:55,320
that he was called by Ettore Bernabei,
a close confidant of Andreotti,
346
00:25:55,400 --> 00:25:57,400
who was acting on his behalf.
347
00:25:57,480 --> 00:26:00,960
And at the time,
Andreotti was the puppet of the Americans.
348
00:26:03,040 --> 00:26:07,000
High-ranking Italian figuresare actually pulling the strings.
349
00:26:07,080 --> 00:26:11,080
Politician Giulio Andreottiwas later Prime Minister seven times.
350
00:26:12,080 --> 00:26:16,920
Licio Gelli was master of the influentialPropaganda Due Masonic lodge.
351
00:26:17,560 --> 00:26:20,280
Gelli had been an American agentsince the war.
352
00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:27,560
{\an8}Then they spread all kinds of lies.
353
00:26:28,080 --> 00:26:31,440
{\an8}We're talking about Gelli now
who called off the coup.
354
00:26:31,520 --> 00:26:33,360
{\an8}We're talking about Andreotti
355
00:26:33,440 --> 00:26:36,360
{\an8}who backed him
and withheld important facts.
356
00:26:36,440 --> 00:26:40,720
For example, his friend was
the prosecutor at the Borghese coup trial,
357
00:26:40,800 --> 00:26:42,160
so Andreotti's stooge,
358
00:26:42,240 --> 00:26:46,080
he had asked that my comrades and I
were given 28 years in prison.
359
00:26:46,720 --> 00:26:49,480
So you have to be wary
of friends like these.
360
00:26:55,320 --> 00:27:00,960
US supremacy was also clearly demonstratedmilitarily during the attempted coup.
361
00:27:01,040 --> 00:27:05,800
The US Sixth Fleet was apparently puton a state of alert shortly beforehand.
362
00:27:05,880 --> 00:27:11,200
Gelli and Andreotti introduced themselvesto the Americans as influential figures
363
00:27:11,280 --> 00:27:15,120
who were capable ofmobilizing forces and calling them off.
364
00:27:15,800 --> 00:27:19,240
This was a demonstration of powermeant to impress the CIA.
365
00:27:24,240 --> 00:27:27,920
Fascists like Borghese and Delle Chiaiehave to go into hiding.
366
00:27:29,560 --> 00:27:31,880
South America represent a suitable option.
367
00:27:32,640 --> 00:27:37,040
There, they form allianceswith dictators and make a bid for power.
368
00:27:40,880 --> 00:27:46,240
Certainly, we wanted to see our worldview,
our convictions become a reality there.
369
00:27:46,320 --> 00:27:51,440
Our struggle for fascism fell on
fertile ground in Latin America.
370
00:27:51,520 --> 00:27:57,400
Likewise, many parties in Latin America
had fascist and National Socialist roots.
371
00:28:00,120 --> 00:28:03,480
However, Chile goes againstthe fascist philosophy.
372
00:28:03,560 --> 00:28:07,600
In 1971, the country electsthe socialist Salvador Allende.
373
00:28:08,280 --> 00:28:10,400
Allende has enthusiastic supporters.
374
00:28:10,480 --> 00:28:14,040
His Marxist politics have many enemies,including in the USA.
375
00:28:16,720 --> 00:28:20,400
{\an8}This was perceived by the United States
as a tremendous threat.
376
00:28:20,480 --> 00:28:22,960
{\an8}If a peaceful revolution
were to take hold,
377
00:28:23,040 --> 00:28:27,320
{\an8}it would greatly weakenthe United States'
ideological hold on South America.
378
00:28:31,480 --> 00:28:34,320
On the orderof US Secretary of State Kissinger,
379
00:28:34,400 --> 00:28:36,320
the CIA becomes active in Chile.
380
00:28:36,960 --> 00:28:39,920
This staunch anti-communistdoes not want to rely
381
00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:42,000
on Allende losing the next election.
382
00:28:45,200 --> 00:28:49,680
General Pinochet seizes powerin a coup in September 1973.
383
00:28:49,760 --> 00:28:52,160
Italian fascists support him.
384
00:28:52,240 --> 00:28:54,120
The Americans do not stop them.
385
00:28:55,920 --> 00:28:58,160
Both sides have a common goal.
386
00:28:58,240 --> 00:29:00,840
They want to eradicate communism.
387
00:29:11,160 --> 00:29:13,960
{\an8}We were already in contact
with our Chilean comrades
388
00:29:14,040 --> 00:29:15,520
{\an8}before the coup in Chile.
389
00:29:16,520 --> 00:29:20,960
{\an8}I was with Commander Borghese
in Santiago in 1974.
390
00:29:21,920 --> 00:29:24,200
We met President Pinochet,
391
00:29:24,280 --> 00:29:26,360
and began to work closely with him.
392
00:29:27,560 --> 00:29:29,120
When we arrived in Chile,
393
00:29:29,200 --> 00:29:32,160
we were immediately welcomed
by President Pinochet.
394
00:29:36,360 --> 00:29:39,040
In 1975, the fascists gather
395
00:29:39,120 --> 00:29:42,600
for the funeralof a like-minded friend in Madrid.
396
00:29:43,160 --> 00:29:45,760
The dictator Francisco Franco is dead.
397
00:29:46,480 --> 00:29:49,200
Here, cooperationbetween the Italian fascists
398
00:29:49,280 --> 00:29:52,080
and the Chilean intelligence serviceDINA is sealed.
399
00:29:52,600 --> 00:29:54,600
Future terrorist plans are hatched.
400
00:29:54,680 --> 00:29:58,320
The ringleader is well-known,Stefano Delle Chiaie.
401
00:29:59,680 --> 00:30:02,560
It is the first meetingbetween the collaborators.
402
00:30:03,040 --> 00:30:03,880
Others follow.
403
00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:17,480
{\an8}Pinochet meets with these terrorists
who had just pulled off the assassination.
404
00:30:17,560 --> 00:30:22,520
{\an8}The head of Chilean intelligence
is there, and it is a right-wing lovefest.
405
00:30:23,240 --> 00:30:27,520
At this meeting, Stefano Delle Chiaie
is apparently given permission
406
00:30:27,600 --> 00:30:29,920
to set up headquarters in Chile.
407
00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:34,160
He begins to collaborate with
the Chilean intelligence service, DINA.
408
00:30:35,800 --> 00:30:38,560
A series of assassinations follows,
409
00:30:38,640 --> 00:30:43,560
including Allende's Foreign MinisterOrlando Letelier in Washington.
410
00:30:45,960 --> 00:30:49,400
The USA cannot tolerateterrorism on its own soil.
411
00:30:49,480 --> 00:30:51,440
They put Pinochet in his place.
412
00:31:01,320 --> 00:31:04,120
They talk about the weakness
of the United States
413
00:31:04,200 --> 00:31:06,840
and its ability to defeat
the communist menace,
414
00:31:06,920 --> 00:31:10,280
and the desire of the military
in Latin America to take the leadership.
415
00:31:11,560 --> 00:31:15,960
They planned to take leadership to defeat
the communist movement worldwide.
416
00:31:19,120 --> 00:31:21,200
The scope of this is mind-blowing.
417
00:31:22,240 --> 00:31:24,600
They actually referred
to it as World War III.
418
00:31:29,360 --> 00:31:32,760
Pinochet's junta prepares for this war.
419
00:31:34,800 --> 00:31:38,680
It included their desire
to have nuclear weapons.
420
00:31:38,760 --> 00:31:43,000
It included the production
of biological weapons.
421
00:31:43,080 --> 00:31:47,640
Prisoners in Chile were even killed
in experiments with them
422
00:31:47,720 --> 00:31:50,960
and during the production of poison gas,
423
00:31:51,680 --> 00:31:54,360
sarin and mustard gas.
424
00:31:57,320 --> 00:32:01,000
The research laboratoryused for the inhumane experiments
425
00:32:01,080 --> 00:32:02,800
is the Colonia Dignidad.
426
00:32:03,760 --> 00:32:06,000
Plans are conspired in this strange place.
427
00:32:07,560 --> 00:32:13,400
{\an8}After the military coup in 1973,
Colonia Dignidad became a torture camp,
428
00:32:14,360 --> 00:32:18,040
{\an8}a training camp
for the DINA intelligence service,
429
00:32:18,120 --> 00:32:19,720
{\an8}including a torture school.
430
00:32:20,440 --> 00:32:23,000
It became a weapons smuggling center,
431
00:32:23,080 --> 00:32:27,160
and a center
for alternative weapons production
432
00:32:27,800 --> 00:32:33,080
and an external communications center
for the DINA intelligence service.
433
00:32:33,920 --> 00:32:38,960
This part of Colonia Dignidadis sealed off with a death strip.
434
00:32:39,040 --> 00:32:42,240
The underground torture chambersare well hidden.
435
00:32:42,320 --> 00:32:45,440
From outside,it is meant to look like a typical farm.
436
00:32:45,520 --> 00:32:48,160
Anyone could be deceived by the scenery.
437
00:32:53,640 --> 00:32:56,240
{\an8}I was impressed by this place
438
00:32:57,800 --> 00:32:59,480
{\an8}because to a certain extent,
439
00:33:00,920 --> 00:33:03,560
{\an8}I am obviously a dreamer
440
00:33:03,640 --> 00:33:07,040
and have always dreamed
of building a center like this
441
00:33:08,360 --> 00:33:09,480
for my comrades.
442
00:33:10,680 --> 00:33:13,480
So that now and again
they would have the chance
443
00:33:13,560 --> 00:33:15,680
to get away from the fighting and relax.
444
00:33:17,040 --> 00:33:19,040
I had something like this in mind.
445
00:33:22,320 --> 00:33:26,480
But Colonia Dignidad isn't justa relaxation center for old Nazis.
446
00:33:26,560 --> 00:33:31,200
Biological and chemical weaponsare produced and tested on prisoners here.
447
00:33:31,280 --> 00:33:36,520
The Chilean intelligence services needpoison that can kill without detection.
448
00:33:39,120 --> 00:33:42,080
There is a short list of people
that were confirmed
449
00:33:42,160 --> 00:33:44,760
to have been murdered
using sarin, using gas.
450
00:33:46,760 --> 00:33:48,600
A German doctor is also working
451
00:33:48,680 --> 00:33:51,360
at Colonia Dignidadwith lethal substances.
452
00:33:52,320 --> 00:33:54,920
The doctor at Colonia Dignidad,
Hartmut Hopp,
453
00:33:55,000 --> 00:33:58,200
who fled from Chilean justice to Krefeld,
454
00:33:58,280 --> 00:34:01,080
{\an8}had a devil's workshop in this settlement.
455
00:34:01,160 --> 00:34:03,040
{\an8}FRIEDRICH PAUL HELLER
AUTHOR OF PINOCHET
456
00:34:03,120 --> 00:34:05,920
{\an8}It consisted of about 400 toxins.
457
00:34:06,480 --> 00:34:09,560
{\an8}Including toxins that are inhaled,
458
00:34:09,640 --> 00:34:12,600
toxins that kill
as a result of physical contact,
459
00:34:12,680 --> 00:34:15,800
and toxins that kill
if they are taken with food.
460
00:34:17,480 --> 00:34:19,640
It was a savage arsenal
461
00:34:19,720 --> 00:34:24,640
and no one knows exactly
who fell victim to these poisonings.
462
00:34:27,840 --> 00:34:31,440
The Nazis of the Cold Wardon't just support Pinochet.
463
00:34:33,520 --> 00:34:36,520
They also supportother dictators in South America.
464
00:34:37,440 --> 00:34:39,440
The CIA covers up their crimes.
465
00:34:45,600 --> 00:34:49,520
In 1980, the military in Boliviaseizes power in a coup,
466
00:34:49,600 --> 00:34:52,000
which is referred to as the Cocaine Coup.
467
00:34:52,680 --> 00:34:56,480
Now the mafia under General García Mezagoverns the Andean state.
468
00:35:00,480 --> 00:35:04,960
Pulling the strings is the German,Nazi criminal Klaus Barbie.
469
00:35:05,760 --> 00:35:08,440
His fascist companion is very impressed.
470
00:35:10,360 --> 00:35:12,360
I met him in Bolivia.
471
00:35:12,840 --> 00:35:14,840
He had great character,
472
00:35:15,440 --> 00:35:17,880
highly intelligent with immense skills.
473
00:35:18,560 --> 00:35:19,600
A man of honor.
474
00:35:20,760 --> 00:35:23,880
Klaus Barbie was knownas the Butcher of Lyon.
475
00:35:25,000 --> 00:35:29,560
He took brutal and sadistic actionagainst the Resistance fighters
476
00:35:29,640 --> 00:35:32,640
who were fightingGerman occupation in World War II.
477
00:35:37,160 --> 00:35:41,280
After the war, Barbie was recruitedby the American intelligence services.
478
00:35:46,000 --> 00:35:49,960
There were different ways
that senior SS officers survived the war,
479
00:35:51,240 --> 00:35:53,760
{\an8}but they do share a common pattern,
480
00:35:53,840 --> 00:35:56,920
{\an8}something that I call
"intelligence entrepreneurism."
481
00:35:58,120 --> 00:36:01,240
{\an8}They take whatever assets
they can lay their hands on
482
00:36:01,760 --> 00:36:07,880
and attempt to sell these
or to encourage the intelligence services
483
00:36:09,240 --> 00:36:10,800
to invest in them.
484
00:36:11,920 --> 00:36:15,400
Klaus Barbie was a valuable agentfor the Americans.
485
00:36:15,480 --> 00:36:19,720
He bought his freedom with his knowledgeof communists in the Resistance.
486
00:36:21,280 --> 00:36:24,000
The Americans did everything they could
487
00:36:24,080 --> 00:36:28,320
to stop the Resistance people
from coming to power after the war.
488
00:36:28,400 --> 00:36:30,640
And Barbie was important to them
489
00:36:30,720 --> 00:36:34,120
because he had information
on the collaboration network
490
00:36:34,200 --> 00:36:35,880
that worked with the Germans
491
00:36:35,960 --> 00:36:38,800
{\an8}in the occupied zone
and in Vichy France as well.
492
00:36:38,880 --> 00:36:43,000
{\an8}He could hand that over to the Americans,
so it was extremely valuable.
493
00:36:43,720 --> 00:36:45,120
He understood very well
494
00:36:45,200 --> 00:36:49,440
how susceptible the entire French
political scene was to blackmail.
495
00:36:50,600 --> 00:36:54,800
The Americans hide Barbieand other war criminals first in Germany,
496
00:36:54,880 --> 00:36:56,360
then in South America.
497
00:37:02,240 --> 00:37:05,040
They understood the bloody politics
498
00:37:05,120 --> 00:37:07,080
{\an8}of certain types of intelligence.
499
00:37:07,160 --> 00:37:08,960
{\an8}They understood colonial war.
500
00:37:09,640 --> 00:37:12,640
{\an8}Their mentality
was well-suited for colonial war…
501
00:37:14,440 --> 00:37:18,600
because they considered themselves
to be from the outset superior.
502
00:37:19,640 --> 00:37:23,200
Thus, they were willing to take
the lives of a great many people
503
00:37:23,280 --> 00:37:26,560
that they considered to be inferior
for racial or ethnic reasons.
504
00:37:35,160 --> 00:37:38,880
Barbie ends up as an intelligence servicesadviser in South America.
505
00:37:38,960 --> 00:37:42,600
At this point, Operation Condorbegins in the Andean states.
506
00:37:48,160 --> 00:37:50,920
The American Operation Condor
was an alliance
507
00:37:51,000 --> 00:37:53,760
between several
intelligence services and states
508
00:37:53,840 --> 00:37:56,960
that were run by fascist
or extreme right-wing parties
509
00:37:58,240 --> 00:38:01,120
with a well-documented history
of disappearances,
510
00:38:01,800 --> 00:38:04,160
abuse, murder of prisoners, and so forth.
511
00:38:05,880 --> 00:38:07,240
And those regimes
512
00:38:07,320 --> 00:38:11,720
found Klaus Barbie to be a very
compatible agent for their operations.
513
00:38:16,760 --> 00:38:18,040
During the operation,
514
00:38:18,120 --> 00:38:22,120
a total of 50,000 people is murderedin the states of the alliance.
515
00:38:22,200 --> 00:38:25,440
Again the CIA covers up eventsand protects those involved.
516
00:38:29,160 --> 00:38:32,520
I call it the "red light,
green light phenomenon."
517
00:38:32,600 --> 00:38:36,200
The United States
was publicly defending human rights.
518
00:38:36,280 --> 00:38:40,480
But privately they were telling
these regimes that it was okay.
519
00:38:40,560 --> 00:38:44,120
Until they defeated the left,
they should go ahead and do it.
520
00:38:46,360 --> 00:38:50,800
The driving force behind this policyis Secretary of State Henry Kissinger.
521
00:38:50,880 --> 00:38:52,880
He faces increasing criticism.
522
00:38:52,960 --> 00:38:56,760
Later, Kissinger is asked to testifyin court in France and Chile
523
00:38:56,840 --> 00:38:58,400
about human rights abuses.
524
00:38:58,480 --> 00:39:01,880
In 2007,Uruguay even demanded his extradition.
525
00:39:02,440 --> 00:39:05,600
It became clearthat he was covering for Operation Condor,
526
00:39:05,680 --> 00:39:07,680
the crimes of the death squads.
527
00:39:07,760 --> 00:39:09,920
Again a known Nazi is among them.
528
00:39:10,000 --> 00:39:13,680
Stefano Delle Chiaie leadsa mercenary force in Bolivia.
529
00:39:14,840 --> 00:39:17,600
They were called the Grooms of Death,
530
00:39:18,160 --> 00:39:22,040
and supported the cocaine mafia
that staged the coup in Bolivia
531
00:39:22,120 --> 00:39:26,960
{\an8}and also benefited from it afterwards.
532
00:39:27,040 --> 00:39:30,200
{\an8}And they went through
many countries in Latin America,
533
00:39:30,280 --> 00:39:34,160
and instigated counter-revolutions,
murdered and tortured people,
534
00:39:34,240 --> 00:39:36,320
and made a fortune in the process.
535
00:39:36,400 --> 00:39:39,680
The Grooms of Deathare financed by an industry
536
00:39:39,760 --> 00:39:42,640
that is entangledwith intelligence services worldwide,
537
00:39:42,720 --> 00:39:43,960
the cocaine trade.
538
00:39:47,480 --> 00:39:50,800
The drugs trade isan ideal source of money for agents.
539
00:39:50,880 --> 00:39:54,320
It is all top secretand those involved can be blackmailed.
540
00:40:02,560 --> 00:40:08,640
The war on drugs is basically
an operation to deceive the public.
541
00:40:08,720 --> 00:40:14,040
The real drugs trade, which is successful
of course, favors those people
542
00:40:14,120 --> 00:40:17,120
{\an8}given privileged status
by an intelligence service that says,
543
00:40:17,200 --> 00:40:21,760
{\an8}"These are our men.
You cannot stop what they're doing."
544
00:40:21,840 --> 00:40:24,960
{\an8}Basically, they can grow
any plants they want
545
00:40:25,800 --> 00:40:28,120
without any risk whatsoever
546
00:40:28,200 --> 00:40:31,480
and ultimately
they can sell them for incredible prices
547
00:40:31,560 --> 00:40:34,080
in America or Europe or wherever.
548
00:40:34,560 --> 00:40:36,880
So they have
an unbelievable profit margin.
549
00:40:36,960 --> 00:40:38,720
And from this profit margin,
550
00:40:38,800 --> 00:40:41,880
the intelligence services
siphon off whatever they require
551
00:40:41,960 --> 00:40:45,080
and it is used
to fund all kinds of operations.
552
00:40:45,920 --> 00:40:49,520
Klaus Barbie perfectsthe cocaine trade in Bolivia.
553
00:40:49,600 --> 00:40:50,600
And much more.
554
00:40:53,240 --> 00:40:57,360
Barbie systematized
repression in South America.
555
00:40:58,120 --> 00:41:02,240
He did away with
the simple beatings, brutality,
556
00:41:02,320 --> 00:41:06,920
and introduced systematic torture
and an organized prison system.
557
00:41:08,240 --> 00:41:10,640
In the end, it proved to be his undoing
558
00:41:10,720 --> 00:41:14,080
because people became aware
of him and he was extradited.
559
00:41:14,160 --> 00:41:19,560
In May 1987 in Lyon, Klaus Barbieis sentenced to life in prison,
560
00:41:19,640 --> 00:41:21,600
four years after his extradition.
561
00:41:21,680 --> 00:41:24,160
Even in the courtroom,he mocks his victims.
562
00:41:24,640 --> 00:41:27,280
He dies in prison in 1997.
563
00:41:30,800 --> 00:41:33,360
Only a few Nazis are sentenced.
564
00:41:34,440 --> 00:41:38,920
Leading politiciansin West Germany trust Paul Dickopf,
565
00:41:39,440 --> 00:41:43,040
long-standing Presidentof the Federal Criminal Police Office,
566
00:41:43,120 --> 00:41:44,440
right up to his death.
567
00:41:48,600 --> 00:41:52,560
The SS man and Nazi spy Dickopfwas recruited by the Americans
568
00:41:52,640 --> 00:41:54,640
shortly before the end of the war.
569
00:41:55,600 --> 00:41:59,000
{\an8}Of course, he realized
that it was all over for Germany.
570
00:41:59,080 --> 00:42:02,360
{\an8}He saw which way the wind was blowing,
571
00:42:02,440 --> 00:42:06,880
{\an8}and then said,
"I'm joining the other side right now."
572
00:42:08,080 --> 00:42:12,560
He is helped by his friendFrançois Genoud, also a Nazi agent.
573
00:42:12,640 --> 00:42:16,080
They know each other from Switzerland,where they both lived.
574
00:42:17,000 --> 00:42:18,560
Genoud was a major banker.
575
00:42:18,640 --> 00:42:22,840
At the same time, he was
a big supporter of the Nazis and Hitler.
576
00:42:22,920 --> 00:42:25,480
{\an8}And presumably he was the one
577
00:42:25,560 --> 00:42:29,920
{\an8}who played a major role
in rescuing Nazi and SS wealth
578
00:42:30,000 --> 00:42:33,120
after everything changed in 1945.
579
00:42:34,120 --> 00:42:38,120
Genoud published Goebbels' diariesand made a lot of money.
580
00:42:39,200 --> 00:42:42,200
He uses it to financethe defense of Adolf Eichmann
581
00:42:43,200 --> 00:42:44,440
and Klaus Barbie.
582
00:42:46,600 --> 00:42:51,040
He is also a friend and financial backerof the terrorist Carlos the Jackal,
583
00:42:52,320 --> 00:42:56,200
and of the Palestinian terroristand KGB agent, Wadie Haddad.
584
00:42:56,960 --> 00:42:59,440
He is responsible for many brutal attacks.
585
00:43:01,480 --> 00:43:04,320
But his connectionsdo not harm Dickopf's career.
586
00:43:04,400 --> 00:43:08,200
On the contrary, the CIA and its director,Dulles, help him to the top.
587
00:43:13,640 --> 00:43:20,480
{\an8}First of all, this connection
to the American intelligence services
588
00:43:20,560 --> 00:43:23,880
{\an8}was a major factor
that helped him find a position.
589
00:43:23,960 --> 00:43:26,240
{\an8}In spite of his association with the SS,
590
00:43:26,320 --> 00:43:30,040
he found work first in West Germany's
Ministry of the Interior,
591
00:43:30,120 --> 00:43:33,720
then as a section chief
in the Federal Criminal Police Office.
592
00:43:34,400 --> 00:43:41,000
And I think that this promotion was also…
593
00:43:41,560 --> 00:43:44,720
This is my interpretation.
594
00:43:45,760 --> 00:43:50,880
There was also a purpose
that benefited the CIA
595
00:43:51,440 --> 00:43:55,000
because they wanted him
to get into a position like this.
596
00:43:56,600 --> 00:44:00,520
Dickopf gave the CIA informationabout German politics,
597
00:44:01,280 --> 00:44:03,280
in particular about Willy Brandt.
598
00:44:05,920 --> 00:44:09,000
The Presidentof the Federal Criminal Police Office
599
00:44:09,080 --> 00:44:12,680
had access to sensitive informationabout Brandt's Ostpolitik.
600
00:44:13,800 --> 00:44:16,080
These were the internal affairs
601
00:44:16,160 --> 00:44:20,720
of a government whose détente policywas viewed with mistrust in the USA.
602
00:44:24,880 --> 00:44:27,520
How much did Paul Dickopf really know?
603
00:44:34,720 --> 00:44:38,440
He also participated
in discussions within the ministry
604
00:44:38,520 --> 00:44:40,880
and at the political level.
605
00:44:41,400 --> 00:44:43,920
What were the secrets he gave away
606
00:44:44,400 --> 00:44:49,080
{\an8}that substantially undermined
the sovereignty of West Germany?
607
00:44:49,680 --> 00:44:51,920
{\an8}This question cannot be answered.
608
00:44:54,240 --> 00:44:57,800
{\an8}Dickopf was a window into the highest
levels of the German government,
609
00:44:58,400 --> 00:45:01,120
its security policy
and its intelligence service.
610
00:45:02,280 --> 00:45:03,840
This was high-level information
611
00:45:03,920 --> 00:45:06,320
from the security apparatus
of a different country.
612
00:45:10,520 --> 00:45:14,880
In the CIA files, Dickopf is describedas a "unilateral agent,"
613
00:45:14,960 --> 00:45:17,720
who works exclusively for one side.
614
00:45:18,520 --> 00:45:20,840
Was Dickopf a plain and simple traitor?
615
00:45:21,880 --> 00:45:24,880
I have a problem with this word "traitor"
616
00:45:24,960 --> 00:45:28,080
{\an8}because for Dickopf,
this was normal everyday life.
617
00:45:28,160 --> 00:45:31,760
{\an8}He had a duty to one side
and he had a duty to the other.
618
00:45:32,280 --> 00:45:35,720
{\an8}He certainly showed
gratitude to the Americans.
619
00:45:36,280 --> 00:45:39,160
How much damage did Dickopf cause Germany?
620
00:45:44,200 --> 00:45:49,480
In 1972, his friend Genoud helpswith the hijacking of a Lufthansa jet.
621
00:45:50,160 --> 00:45:54,560
It puts 15 million marks of ransom moneyinto Palestinian coffers,
622
00:45:54,640 --> 00:45:57,640
money that is usedfor further terrorist operations.
623
00:46:02,760 --> 00:46:06,600
Genoud also financed the attackon the Israeli Olympic team
624
00:46:06,680 --> 00:46:08,600
in Munich in 1972.
625
00:46:10,680 --> 00:46:15,000
The jubilant games were meantto establish Germany's global reputation.
626
00:46:15,080 --> 00:46:17,960
Instead, they werea major disaster for West Germany.
627
00:46:20,320 --> 00:46:24,760
Eleven Israeli athletes diebefore the eyes of the world.
628
00:46:37,160 --> 00:46:42,680
{\an8}Genoud had close connections
with Middle East terrorist circles
629
00:46:42,760 --> 00:46:45,280
{\an8}that also worked with Mossad.
630
00:46:45,360 --> 00:46:48,120
{\an8}So that is a really strange structure.
631
00:46:49,680 --> 00:46:53,400
As the head of Interpol,Dickopf had to fight the terrorists
632
00:46:53,480 --> 00:46:55,400
that his friend Genoud financed.
633
00:46:56,320 --> 00:47:01,040
During his time in office, more attackswere mounted and planes were hijacked.
634
00:47:01,120 --> 00:47:04,040
Dickopf insistedthat Interpol was powerless.
635
00:47:05,840 --> 00:47:10,520
They know that we are constrained
by Article 3 of our statutes,
636
00:47:10,600 --> 00:47:14,880
which prohibits out organization
from direct intervention.
637
00:47:14,960 --> 00:47:18,160
But that very fact
should encourage countries
638
00:47:18,240 --> 00:47:21,720
to share information
to a far greater extent.
639
00:47:21,800 --> 00:47:26,080
But that doesn't necessarily mean,
Interpol can't intervene,
640
00:47:26,160 --> 00:47:28,880
that countries
can't take bilateral action?
641
00:47:28,960 --> 00:47:31,080
Bilateral and multilateral.
642
00:47:31,160 --> 00:47:34,800
They can do whatever they want,
just not go through Interpol.
643
00:47:34,880 --> 00:47:39,920
At the same time, in one year,
15 planes were hijacked.
644
00:47:40,000 --> 00:47:44,280
Later, I think it was even 30
or more planes hijacked per year.
645
00:47:44,360 --> 00:47:46,200
It was a sort of technique.
646
00:47:46,280 --> 00:47:50,000
At the same time,
western countries decided
647
00:47:50,080 --> 00:47:54,960
that investigating terrorist crimes
wasn't part of Interpol's job.
648
00:47:55,440 --> 00:47:57,000
This is outrageous.
649
00:47:57,080 --> 00:48:01,960
So here we have a man, Dickopf,
who is connected to Genoud,
650
00:48:02,040 --> 00:48:03,640
a man he frequently meets.
651
00:48:03,720 --> 00:48:07,040
Genoud financed the people
who hijacked the planes.
652
00:48:08,160 --> 00:48:12,480
And meanwhile,
Interpol claims, "This is not our job."
653
00:48:13,720 --> 00:48:17,040
Did the CIA knowabout Dickopf's connections to Genoud?
654
00:48:17,640 --> 00:48:19,560
Documents prove that it did.
655
00:48:20,280 --> 00:48:22,920
Dickopf himself informed the CIA
656
00:48:23,000 --> 00:48:25,840
that he had known himsince World War II.
657
00:48:28,360 --> 00:48:31,960
However, there is nothingin the files released by Washington
658
00:48:32,040 --> 00:48:35,720
about what the CIA learnedfrom Dickopf and other Nazis.
659
00:48:42,400 --> 00:48:45,400
The CIA had a conscious
and deliberate campaign
660
00:48:45,480 --> 00:48:48,760
{\an8}that was controlled
by the legal department
661
00:48:48,840 --> 00:48:52,400
{\an8}to obstruct the release
of these records as much as possible.
662
00:48:53,440 --> 00:48:58,720
Particularly to obstruct those records
with information about the relationship
663
00:48:58,800 --> 00:49:00,520
between informants and agents,
664
00:49:02,080 --> 00:49:04,240
which was the exact point of this.
665
00:49:07,320 --> 00:49:09,760
Christopher Simpson was on the commission
666
00:49:09,840 --> 00:49:13,600
that negotiated with the CIAabout the release of the Nazi files.
667
00:49:14,920 --> 00:49:17,160
His experience is sobering.
668
00:49:21,040 --> 00:49:26,600
One of the most important categories
that fits this description
669
00:49:26,680 --> 00:49:29,640
is what's called
"foreign government information."
670
00:49:30,480 --> 00:49:33,560
This is information
they've obtained legally or illegally
671
00:49:33,640 --> 00:49:36,920
from another state
about that government's affairs.
672
00:49:40,080 --> 00:49:42,600
This information is in a number of files.
673
00:49:45,480 --> 00:49:49,080
You'll see this in the Dickopf file,
in the Klaus Barbie file.
674
00:49:49,640 --> 00:49:50,960
Few people know this.
675
00:49:51,040 --> 00:49:55,320
Nevertheless, there continue to be
withheld records in those files.
676
00:50:01,520 --> 00:50:05,120
This restrictive policyprevents historians and journalists
677
00:50:05,200 --> 00:50:09,200
from investigatingimportant CIA espionage operations.
678
00:50:12,920 --> 00:50:14,840
The CIA is a global service
679
00:50:15,400 --> 00:50:19,320
with an enormous budget
and incredible capabilities,
680
00:50:19,400 --> 00:50:23,760
because it also utilizes
the drug trade as a means of finance,
681
00:50:23,840 --> 00:50:28,640
and exploits many different countries
around the world.
682
00:50:28,720 --> 00:50:31,320
It plays a role in all European countries,
683
00:50:31,400 --> 00:50:35,600
exerting influence on politics,
on our concept of the enemy,
684
00:50:35,680 --> 00:50:38,400
exerting influence on public opinion,
685
00:50:38,480 --> 00:50:40,160
psychological warfare.
686
00:50:40,240 --> 00:50:41,800
All of that plays a part.
687
00:50:41,880 --> 00:50:44,640
If I have people at my disposal,
688
00:50:44,720 --> 00:50:47,680
I can control a democracy, as it were.
689
00:50:47,760 --> 00:50:50,560
Just as Italian democracy was controlled,
690
00:50:50,640 --> 00:50:55,560
perhaps this influence was also exerted
on certain political processes here.
691
00:50:56,120 --> 00:50:58,360
An intelligence service
isn't a singing club.
692
00:51:02,160 --> 00:51:04,320
Many intelligence operations,
693
00:51:04,400 --> 00:51:08,760
which involved war criminalsand fascists as collaborators,
694
00:51:08,840 --> 00:51:11,760
have remainedbeyond public scrutiny to this day.
695
