Man: WHAT WAS UNIOUeE
ABOUT THE THİRD REİCH

WAS THAT IT BROUGHT ABOUT THE MOST
PROFOUND DESTRUCTIİON OF CİVİLİZATION

THAT'S EVER BEEN ENCOUNTERED.

AND THİS 15 BECAUSE THE THİRD
REİCH SET OUT TO DESTROY THE VALUES

WHICH HAD EXİSTED
FOR 2,000 YEARS--

VALUES ASSOCİATED WITH
JUDEO-CHRİSTİAN CİVİLİZATİON--

UNSCRUPULOUSLY ENCUMBERED THE STATE WIİTH DEBTS

FOR THE SAKE OF SHORT-TERM

BASICALLY, IT WAS
FATALLY FLAWED ALL ALONG.

Narrator: HİTLER CANNOT ASSERT
HIS POWER WIİTHOUT WAR.

HIS VİSİON 15 TO RÜLE
THE ENTİRE WORLD.

HIS HATRED OF JEWS
KNOWS NO LIMITS.

JEWİSH CİTİZENS ARE OSTRACIZED
FROM THE NATIONAL COMMUNİTY,

PERSECUTED AND ULTİMATELY
METHODİCALLY MURDERED IN DEATH FACTORİES.

İIWOMAN SPEAKING GERMAN)l

Translator: THE ENTİRE NATİONAL SOCİALIST
HİSTORY IS ABOUT RADICALIZATIONS.

THE SENSATİONAL EARLY SUCCESSES
MAKE HİTLER BELİEVE HE 15 IİNFALLIBLE,

AND FOR A LONG TİME
THE GERMANS HAVE FAİTHİNHİM.

Man: HİTLER HİMSELF,

"WE'VE HİRED HİM."

Man: HİTLER DİDN'T HAVE ANY

FOLLOWIİNG THE ELECTİONS
TO HAVE AN ENABLING ACT,

AND TO ACOUİRE POWER

IN THE VARIOUS STATES

İMAN SPEAKING GERMANl

Translator: THE NAZI PARTY WAS THE
FİRST PEOPLE'S PARTY IN GERMANY.

IT WAS NOT A PARTY THAT REPRESENTED
A SECTİON OF THE POPULATION,

AS THE POLİTİCAL LANDSCAPE WAS
STRUCTURED DURİNG THE WEİMAR REPUBLİC.

WITH PARTIES REPRESENTİNG
THE CATHOLİCS,

THE WORKING CLASS,
OR THE İNDUSTRİALİISTS.

"HE HAS ÜNDENİABLY GROWN."

Kershaw: WELL, THE 21İst OF MARCH 1933

THE DAY WAS CHOSEN

AFTER THE GERMAN
UNIFİCATION OF 1871.

MORE İMPORTANTLY STİLL, THOUGH, THIS
WAS THE MOMENT AT WHIİCH OLD PRUSSİA, SAY,

CAME TOGETHER WITH
THE NEW GERMANY.

EVERYTHIİNG WAS DONE İN AN EFFORT TO REPRESENT
THE COMİNG TOGETHER OF THE OLD AND THE NEW,

MANIİFESTED İTSELF OPENLY FOR THE FİRST TİME.

HİTLER'S CABİNET HAS CALLED FOR A
COUNTRYWIDE BOYCOTT OF JEWİSH SHOPS.

İHAMANN SPEAKING GERMAN)l

Translator: THE ACTUAL BOYCOTT
WAS A SHOCK FOR GERMANS.

IT ALL HAPPENED
OUT OF THE BLÜE.

OÖNE DAY, PEOPLE İN UNİFORM
WERE STANDING OUTSİDE THE SHOPS

AND WOULDN'T LET ANYBODY IN.

IT WAS AN OVERT MESSAGE
TO THE JEWİSH CİTİZENS

ALL OVER GERMANY

THAT THEY COULDN'T BE PART
OF THE NATİIONAL COMMUNİTY...

BECAUSE THEY BELONG TO ANOTHER
RACE OR DON'T HAVE THE RİGHT ANCESTRY.

Narrator: CONTRARY TO THE CLAIMS
OF THE PROPAGANDA MACHİNERY,

THE BOYCOTT1S NOT
PARTICULARLY SÜCCESSFUL.

MANY CUSTOMERS SİMPLY İGNORE THE
POSTERS AND SİGNS OF THE STORMTROOPERS.

FOR GERMAN JEWS, HOWEVER, THE
DAY WILL BECOME A TRAUMATIC MEMORY.

ON THE FOLLOWİNG DAY, THE LAST REMAIİNING
DEMOCRATIC LABOR ORGANIZATIONS İN GERMANY

ARE DONE AWAY WITH.

(ALY SPEAKING GERMAN)l

Translator: A LABORER DURİNG THE WEİMAR
REPUBLİC DİDN'T KNOW WHAT "HOLIİDAY" WAS.

BY THE END OF THE THİRD REİCH,
EVERY WORKER HAD A LEGAL RİGHT

TO 14 DAYS VACATION A YEAR.

IT WAS SOMETHİNG
THAT WAS IİNTRODUCED THEN,

ALONG WIİTH OTHER ELEMENTS
CONTRIBUTİNG TO LEİSÜRE TİME

AND ENJOYMENT
OF LİFE İN GENERAL,

THİNGS THAT DİDN'T EXİST BEFORE.

IN THE EYES OF THE GERMANS, THE CREDİT
FOR ALL THİS WAS DUE TO THEİR FUEHRER.

Narrator: İN THE FACE OF
6 MILLİON JOBLESS GERMANS,

HİTLER LEADS THE POPULATION TO
BELİEVE THAT MASS ÜNEMPLOYMENT

CAN BE COMBATTED THROUGH
THE CONSTRUCTİON OF AUTOBAHNS

AND OTHER COSTLY
ECONOMY-STIMULATING MEASURES.

(HITLER SPEAKING GERMAN)l

THOSE WHO APPEAR UÜNİMPRESSED
BY THE SPIİRİT OF OPTİMİSM

OR OFFER RESİSTANCE
TO THE DICTATORSHIP

ARE MERCİLESSLY PERSECUTED
BY HİTLER'S HENCHMEN.

HERMANN GOERİNG HAS ONE OF THE
FİRST SO-CALLED RE-EDUCATION CENTERS

BUİLT İN ORANİIENBURG,
NEAR BERLİN.

UNLİKE THE NAZİI
PROPAGANDA SUGGESTS,

PEOPLE THERE ARE TORTUÜRED
AND MURDERED WITH HİS CONSENT.

IN PRUSSİA ALONE, OVER 25,000
PEOPLE ARE İNTERNED İN CAMPS.

AS OF THE 26th OF APRİL 1933,

GOERİNG AUGMENTS THE COERCİVE
APPARATUS OF THE NAZIS

WITH THE ESTABLİSHMENT OF THE
GESTAPO--SECRET STATE POLİCE.

DESPİTE THE FACT THAT ALL
OPPOSİTİON PARTİES HAVE BEEN BANNED,

SPONTANEOUS LABOR STRIKES
DO TAKE PLACE OCCASIONALLY

BUT ARE OUICKLY SUPPRESSED.

ON THE i1ith OF NOVEMBER 1933,

JOSEF GÖOEBBELS ORGANİZES
HIİTLER'S APPEARANCE IN SİEMENSSTADT,

IN THE NORTH OF BERLİN,

AS A DEMONSTRATION
FOR THE LABOR FORCE.

"RAPTUROUS CHEERİNG,"
HE WRITES İN HİS DİARY.

"ALL OF GERMANY
1S STANDING STİLL.

A YEAR AGO, THEY WOULD HAVE
BEATEN US TO DEATH."

HIİTLER KNOWS HIS SPEECH 18 TRANSMIİTTED
ON THE RADİO AND İN PUBLİC PLACES.

THE NEWSREEL 15 THERE, TOO.

SIEMENSSTADT BECOMES ONE OF THE
HIGHLİĞHTS İN THE NAZİS' PROCESS

OF ENFORCED CONFORMİTY.

(HITLER SPEAKING GERMAN)l

İCHEERING)

IN LESS THAN ONE YEAR,

ADOLF HİTLER HAS CONSOLİDATED
HIS POWER İN GERMANY

USİNG THE DİCTATORİAL POWERS HE
WAS GRANTED AND TERRORİZİNG MEASÜRES,

BUT ALSO WIİTH THE ACTIİVE HELP
OF THE MAJORİTY OF THE GERMANS.

HIİTLER HAD TO PERSUADE THE LABOR FORCE THAT
NATİONAL SOCİALISM WOULD SECUÜRE THEİR FUTÜRE.

MANY FARMERS, ON THE ÖOTHER HAND, HAD COUNTED
AMONG THE NAZİS' MOST FERVENT SUPPORTERS

EVEN BEFORE 1933.

(ALY SPEAKING GERMAN)l

Translator: THE VAST MAJORIİTY
OF FARMERS İN GERMANY

WERE HEAVILY INDEBTED
AT THAT TİME.

BUT BY EARLY 1945, NOT ONE OF
THEM WAS İN DEBT ANY LONGER.

A NEW SYSTEM OF SOCİAL SECURİTY
AND İNCOME GÜARANTEE FOR FARMERS

WAS İNTRODUCED
IN GERMANY IN 1933,

WITH CROP PRIİCES BEİNG
SUBSİDİZED BY THE STATE.

HOWEVER, IN MY VIEW,
THIS RELATIONSHIP,

THIS ASSOCİATION BETWEEN THE
PEOPLE AND THE LEADERSHIP,

WAS EFFECTİVELY
A SPECULATION BUBBLE.

A LOT OF MONEY WAS PUMPED
INTO AĞRICULTÜRE,

WHICH WAS SUPPOSED TO COME BACK
INTO THE COFFERS İN THE FUTÜRE.

BUT THIS WASN'T POSSIİBLE
BECAUSE IT WAS TOO MUCH.

Narrator: THE NAZI REGİME
TRIES TO CAPTIİVATE THE PEOPLE

THROUGH A SERİES OF
JOB CREATION SCHEMES.

APPROXİMATELY 1 BILLION
REİCHSMARKS ARE APPROPRIATED

FOR THE PROMOTIİON
OF NATİONAL LABOR.

OVER 80,000 MEN ARE SOON GİVEN
JOBS İN AUTOBAHN CONSTRUCTİON ALONE.

TAX RELİEF İN FAVOR
OF THE COMMON PEOPLE

IS AN ADDITIONAL BURDEN
TO THE TREASURY.

(ALY SPEAKING GERMAN)l

Translator: STRONG SHOULDERS
SHOULD CARRY A HEAVY LOAD.

WEAK SHOULDERS
SHOULD BE SPARED.

NATIONAL DEBT WAS NOT
AN İSSUÜE AT THE TİME.

ÖNE OF HİTLER'S FİRST MEASÜRES WAS TO PUT A
STOP TO THE PUBLİSHİNG OF THE REİCH BUÜDGET

FOR 1934
AND SÜUBSEOUENTLY,

WHICH MEANS THAT THE BUDGET
BECAME A SECRET IİNTERNAL MATTER.

NO ONE SPOKE TO
THE PUBLİC ABOUT THAT,

AND THERE WAS NO MENTİON OF İT
IN NEWSPAPERS, EİTHER.

THE PUBLİC WAS UNAWARE.

Narrator: THE ECONOMIİC RECOVERY
15 VERY SLOW TO MATERİALIZE.

THE NUMBER OF ÜNEMPLOYED
ONLY DROPS TO ABOUT 4 MILLİON,

BUT THE PROPAGANDA SUCCEEDS İN
PRESENTİNG THE GOÖVERNMENT'S MEASURES

AS A SÜCCESSFUL EMERGENCE
INTO A NEW ERA

IN WHİCH THE COUNTRY,
SELF-CONFİDENT AND MODERN,

WILL BE ABLE TO STAND
ON 1TS OWN FEET.

SO ON THE ist OF MAY 1934, CROWDS OF PEOPLE
FLOOD OPEN-AİR AREAS ALL ÖOVER GERMANY

TO LISTEN TO THE BROADCAST OF HİTLER'S
SPEECH ON THE DAY OF NATİIONAL LABOR.

THE FOOTAGE HERE 15 FROM THE
THINGSTATTE, THIİNG SİTE, NEAR HALLE,

AN OUTDOOR AMPHİTHEATER DESİĞNED İN

IN BERLİN'S LUSTGARTEN,

THE REİCH CHANCELLOR PROCLAIİMS
HIS VİISİON FOR THE FUTÜRE OF THE NATİON

BEFORE AN AUDİENCE OF
OÖOVER 2 MILLION PEOPLE.

(HITLER SPEAKING GERMAN)l

DURIİNG THE FİRST YEAR
OF HİS RÜLE,

HİTLER HAS PAİD LİTTLE ATTENTİON
TO FOREİGN POLİTİCS,

BUT NOW THE REVİSİON OF THE
CONDİTİONS OF THE TREATY OF VERSAİLLES,

WHICH WAS IİMPOSED
UPON THE GERMANS

AFTER THE END
OF THE FİRST WORLD WAR,

BECOMES ONE OF HİS PRİORİTİES.

FOR 15 YEARS, THE SAARLAND HAD
BEEN UÜNDER THE ADMINISTRATION

OF THE LEAGUE OF NATİONS.

NOW 1TS STATUS 15 TO BE
DETERMİNED BY MEANS OF A PLEBİSCİTE.

PRO-UNİFİCATİION DEMONSTRATIONS
ARE ORGANIZED ALL OVER GERMANY,

SUCH AS HERE AT THE MONUMENT
TO THE BATTLE OF NATİONS İN LEİPZİĞ.

FOR THE CİTY'S CONSERVATIVE
MAYOR, CARL GOERDELER,

THE MATTER 1S
A NATIONAL DUTY.

THE SAAR IİSSUE PRESENTS THE
NAZIS WIİTH A WELCOME OPPORTUNİTY

TO DEMONSTRATE THE UNİTY AND
THE STRENGTH OF THE GERMAN PEOPLE.

(TRUMPET FANFARE)l

ANOTHER KEY OBJECTİVE
OF THE NAZI REGİME

1S THE GLEİSCHALTUNG
OR FORCED COORDIİNATION OF YOUTH.

THROUGH A COMBINATION OF
CAMPSIİTE ROMANTICISM,

MARCHIİNG EXERCİSES,
AND COWBOY-AND-INDIAN GAMES,

BOYS AND GİRLS BECOME ACOLUAİNTED
WIİTH NATİIONAL SOCİALISM İN SÜUMMER CAMPS.

FOR THE HİTLER BOYS, THE MILITARY
DRİLLS START AT A VERY EARLY AGE.

THE PARTY YOUTH MUST BE "TOUGH
AS LEATHER, SWIİFT AS THE GREYHOUND,

AND HARD AS KRUPP STEEL."

THEİR TRADEMARKS ARE
BROWN SHIRTS AND NECKTİES.

BY 1934, THE HİTLER YOUTH ALREADY
COUNTS 1.2 MILLION MEMBERS.

(ALY SPEAKING GERMAN)l

Translator: ESSENTIALLY,
UNİFORMS SERVE A SOCİAL PURPOSE.

EVERYONE LOOKS THE SAME.

SOMEONE CAN'T TELL IF A CHILD
COMES FROM A RICH OR A POOR FAMİLY,

WHETHER ONE CAN OR CAN'T AFFORD
EXPENSİVE CLOTHES AND SHOES.

THIS PRİNCİPLE OF EGALITARIANISM,
BOTH IN TERMS OF APPEARANCE

BUT ALSO WITH RESPECT
TO EOUAL OPPORTUNİTİES,

WAS ALSO PROPAGATED
BY HİTLER HİMSELF.

AND HE SAW HİMSELF
AS A ROLE MODEL İN THAT SENSE.

HE BELİEVED THAT THE FACTORS THAT
DETERMİNED THE DEVELOPMENT OF A PERSON

WERE NOT THE SOCİAL
BACKGROUND ONE CAME FROM

BUT ONE'S CAPABILITY
AND COMPETENCE.

IN ÖOTHER WORDS, WHETHER A CHİLD 15 BORN
WİTH A SİLVER SPOON İN HİS MOUTH OR NOT

DOES NOT MATTER AS REGARDS
HIS LATER DEVELOPMENT.

Narrator: THE STORMTROOPERS ARE A
STATE WITHIİN THE STATE IN NAZI GERMANY.

THE AMBİTİOUS PLANS OF ERNST ROEHM,
COMMANDER OF THE STORMTROOPERS,

HAVE STARTED TO BECOME
A THREAT FOR HİTLER'S POWERS.

THE CONSERVATIİVES ARE WARNING OF
A PERPETUAL REBELLİON FROM BELOW,

AND THE MILITARY LEADERS ARE AFRAID OF
THE GROWİNG POWER OF THEİR DİRECT RİVALS.

HİTLER DECİDES TO ELİMİNATE
THE RISK BY FORCE.

IN LATE JUNE 1934, HE HAS ROEHM AND OTHER
LEADERS OF THE STORMTROOPERS ARRESTED

AND EXECUTED.

Kershaw: HİTLER, FOR MONTHS AND MONTHS, TO
THE İRRİTATİON OF GÖOEBBELS AND MANY OTHERS,

DID LİTTLE TO CHALLENGE THİS.

AND İT SEEMS AS THOUGH HIİTLER WAS
VERY HESİTANT, WOULDN'T ACT AT ALL,

UNTIİL İT CAME TO
THE END OF JÜNE 1934.

AND AFTER MONTHS OF HESİTANCY,
HİTLER DID ACT,

AND WHEN HE DID ACT THEN
WITH UTTER BRUTALITY

IN DESTROYİNG THE LEADERSHİP OF
THE S.A., OF THE STORMTROOPERS,

AND THEREBY PUTTİNG HİMSELF
OF THE SİDE OF THE ARMY.

HE HAD TO DESTROY HİS OWN
PARAMILITARY UNIİT

IN ÖRDER TO SİDE WİTH THE FORCE
THAT WAS REALLY CRUCIAL TO HIM,

WHICH WAS THAT
OF THE ARMY.

Narrator: SHORTLY AFTERWARDS,
HIİTLER TRAVELS TO BAYREUTH

TO VISİT WİNİFRED WAGNER

DURIİNG THEİR PRİVATE TALK,

HE JUSTİFİES THE PÜURGE TO HER, ARGUIİNG THAT,
İN THE END, ONLY 77 PEOPLE HAVE BEEN EXECUTED.

CHARLEMAGNE, TOO, HAD HAD TO
SLAY THE REBELLİOUS SAXONS

BEFORE HE SET THE
FOUNDATIONS FOR HIS EMPİRE,

BUT AS EVERYONE KNOWS
WAS LATER CANONIZED.

HIS OWN ACTS WERE ALL
BASED ON A PRİNCİPLE

THAT EVERYTHING THAT WAS OF SERVİCE
TO THE GERMAN PEOPLE WAS GOOD,

HİTLER TELLS HER.

BY THE END OF THEİR
RELAXED CONVERSATION,

RICHARD WAGNER'S DAUGHTER-İN-LAW
15 PERSUADED OF ROEHM'S DİSLOYALTY.

İHAMANN SPEAKING GERMAN)l

Translator: WİNİFRED WAGNER
WAS THE IDEAL PERSON

FOR THE REDEEMER IMAGE
THEY WANTED TO PROJECT.

BEİNG THE SÜCCESSOR
OF COMPOSER RİCHARD WAGNER,

OF WHOM HİTLER
WAS A GREAT FAN,

THE TWO OF THEM
APPEARING TOGETHER

AT THE BAYREUTH FESTİVAL

BEFORE THE PERFORMERS
AND THE OTHER WAGNERİANS,

WAS A DEMONSTRATION OF HİTLER'S
ELEVATION TO A DİFFERENT SOCİAL CLASS.

Narrator: EACH SUMMER, BAYREUTH BECOMES
THE CULTURAL CENTER OF THE THİRD REİCH.

EVERYBODY WHO CONSIİDERS
THEMSELVES IMPORTANT IN NAZI GERMANY

RICHARD WAGNER FESTSPİELE,

WHETHER THEY ARE
WAGNER FANS OR NOT.

WOLFGANG WAGNER,
THE COMPOSER'S GRANDSON,

GÜESTS WIiTH HİS PRIVATE CAMERA.

BEFORE THE PERFORMANCE, HİTLER 1S SEEN BY

AFTER ERNST ROEHM'S EXECUTİON,

THE ROLE OF HİIS STORMTROOPERS IN
BAYREUTH AS IN THE ENTİRE THİRD REİCH

158 MORE OR LESS DECORATİIVE.

HERE, WIELAND AND WOLFGANG WAGNER
ARE MARCHING AT THE FRONT OF A PARADE

OF THE STORMTROOPERS
BEFORE THE FESTİVAL THEATER.

ON THE 2nd OF AUGUST 1934,

REİCH PRESİDENT VON HİNDENBURG
DIES AT THE AĞE OF 86.

THE COFFİN 15 TRANSPORTED TO THE
EAST PRUSSİAN TOWN OF TANNENBERG,

WHERE IT 15 IİNTERRED
IN A POMPOUS FUNERAL CEREMONY.

WITHOUT DELAY, HIİTLER DOES
AWAY WIİTH THE OFFİCİAL POSİTİON.

Kershaw: THIS WAS A CRIİTİCAL
PERİOD FOR HİTLER, NATURALLY.

AND İT WAS İMPORTANT, THEREFORE,
TO BUİLD UP THE İMAGE OF HİTLER

AS THE SYMBOL
OF NATİONAL UNİTY,

IN PARTICULAR AFTER JÜST
WHAT HAD HAPPENED.

SO VON HİNDENBURG'S DEATH, THEN, HE
TAKES OVER, BECOMES THEN THE HEAD OF STATE.

AN OATH OF ALLEĞİANCE
1585 SWORN TO HIM,

WHIİCH 15 THEN--THE OATH OF
ALLEĞİANCE, İNTERESTİNGLY ENOUGH

IS SÜUGGESTED NOT BY
HİTLER HİMSELF

BUT BY THE VİCE MIİNİSTER

IT IS ONLY NOW THAT HİTLER

CONSTRUCTİON WORK FOR

HİTLER FREOUENTLY SHOWS UP
TO IİNSPECT THE PROGRESS HİMSELF

ACCOMPANIED BY FRANCONİIA'S
GAÜULEİTER JULİUS STREİCHER,

GERMANY'S MOST FANATIC
ANTI-SEMİTİST.

HİTLER, A WOULD-BE ARCHIİTECT, HAS
SPECIİFİC IİDEAS FOR THE VAST GROUNDS.

MONUMENTALİZES HİTLER İN A WAY

THAT TRANSFİGURES

İCHEERING)

Kershaw: THE FİLM "TRİIUMPH OF THE WILL",
THEN, AT THE PARTY RALLY OF SEPTEMBER 1934,

IS A CELLULOİD DEPİCTİON
OF THE FUEHRER CULT.

SO İT REPRESENTS HİTLER
TOWERIİNG ABOVE THE PARTY,

TOWERIİNG ABOVE THE STATE,

AND REPRESENTİNG GERMANY.

AND TO THİS EXTENT, THIS FİLM, ÜUNLİKE
THE PREDECESSOR THE YEAR BEFORE,

WHICH HAS BEEN MUCH MORE
A FİLM ABOUT THE PARTY,

THIS FİLM 1S ABOUT HİTLER

AND EVERYBODY ELSE THERE 1S REDUCED MORE
OR LESS TO SUPERNUMERARIES ON THE STAGE

AS HİTLER REPRESENTS
THE SYMBOL OF THE NEW GERMANY.

(BAND PLAYING MARCHl)

Narrator: "TRIUMPH OF THE WILL" BECOMES A
BOX OFFİCE HİT ALL ACROSS GERMANY'S CİNEMAS

AND CONTRIİBUTES SIĞNIFICANTLY
TO THE IDOLİZATION OF THE DİCTATOR.

LİKE A RELİGİOUS DELÜUSİON,

BUT AFTER ALL,
HE WAS SUCCESSFUL

AND HAVIİNG THİS FİLM MADE
PROVED HIS GOOD İNSTİNCTS.

HE REALLY FELT HE WAS SPECİAL.

HE WAS, AFTER ALL,
THE FUEHRER

AND TRULY BELİEVED THAT
IT WAS HİS MİSSİON

TO REDEEM THE NATION
AND TO SAVE THE GERMANS.

Narrator: ON THE MORNIİNG
OF NEW YEAR'S DAY,

ADOLF HİTLER GREETS ARMY
AND UNİTS OF THE STORMTROOPERS

IN THE COURT
OF THE CHANCELLERY.

"GERMANY'S RESÜURGENCE," HE PROCLAIİMS,
"WIİLL CONTİNUE INEXORABLY IN THE NEW YEAR."

THE FİRST STEP TOWARDS
THE END 15 THE SAAR PLEBİSCİTE

ON THE 13th OF JANUARY.

DURING THE PERİOD
PRECEDİNG THE REFERENDUM,

JOSEF GÖOEBBELS PULLS OUT ALL THE
STOPS OF NATİONAL SOCİALIST PROPAGANDA.

THE OPPONENTS OF SAARLAND'S
UNIFİCATION WIİTH GERMANY

ARE ALSO VERY ACTIVE.

IN THE END, AN ÖVERWHELMİNG
MAJORİTY OF THE POPULATION VOTES

IN FAVOR OF RETURNİNG
HOME TO THE REİCH.

FOR MAİNLY ECONOMİC REASONS,
OVER 904 CHOOSE THE NAZI REGİME.

İCHEERING)

Kershaw: THE SAAR PLEBİSCİTE
WAS JUST A LUCKY BREAK FOR HİTLER.

THE SAARLAND WAS AN AREA
WHICH WAS HEAVILY CATHOLIC

AND HAD A BİG
WORKING-CLASS COMPONENT.

SO THE TWO GROUPS THAT HAD
BEEN MOSTLY RESİSTANT TOWARDS

THE ALLÜRES
OF NATİONAL SOCİALISM

IN THE RUN UP TO
POWER IN GERMANY

DOMINATED THE AREA WHIİCH 15 NOW
THE SUBJECT OF THE PLEBİSCİTE.

WHEN THE RESULTS OF THE
PLEBİSCİTE CAME OUT,

THE VOTE TO RETURN TO GERMANY WAS JUST
UNDER 9194, WHICH WAS A PHENOMENAL RESULT

FOR THE NAZI LEADERSHIP,

A BRİLLİANT ACHİEVEMENT
OF PROPAGANDA THERE AS WELL.

BUT 1T MEANT NOW THAT THİS WAS
A LEGİTİMATİON FOR HİTLER,

BOTH INTERNALLY BUT ALSO
MORE İMPORTANTLY EXTERNALLY.

IN THE EYES OF
THE WORLD OUTSİDE,

HIİTLER HAD NOW ACHIEVED
THIS GREAT RESULT.

HE WAS POPULAR EVEN IN AN AREA WHICH
HAD THE ALTERNATIVE CHOİCES İN FRONT OF İT.

Narrator: THE OFFİCİAL CEREMONY OF THE REUNİON
OF THE SAAR TERRİTORY WIİTH NAZI GERMANY

TAKES PLACE ON THE
ist OF MARCH 1935,

AND HİTLER KNOWS HOW TO STAGE HIS
FİRST MAJOR FOREİGN POLİCY SÜCCESS

FOR MAXIMUM PROPAGANDA EFFECT.

HE PROCLAİMS İN SAARBRUECKEN
THAT HE 1S OVERJOYED

AND HOPES THAT RELATIONS TO THE
FRENCH NEİGHBOR WILL İMPROVE FROM NOW ON.

THE NAZI REGİME CUNNİNGLY MANAGES
TO CONCEAL ITS TRUE İNTENTİONS

FROM THE INTERNATIONAL COMMUNİTY WHIİLE
PRESSİNG ITS DEMANDS AT THE SAME TİME.

THIS 1S ALSO THE CASE DURING THE
VİSİT OF A BRİTİSH DELEĞATION TO BERLİN

THAT FRUİTLESSLY NEGOTİATES
DISARMAMENT ISSÜUES WIİTH THE NAZİIS.

BRITAİN AND FRANCE HAVE BEEN UÜNYIELDİNG
TO HİTLER'S DEMANDS TO REARM THE COUNTRY.

AND GERMANY'S WITHDRAWAL
FROM THE LEAGUE OF NATİIONS

HAS AĞGRAVATED
THE SITUATION.

EVER SİNCE THEY SEİZED POWER, THE NAZIS
HAVE BEEN SECRETLY REARMING GERMANY,

IGNORİNG THE TERMS
OF THE TREATY OF VERSAİLLES.

POCKET BATTLESHIİP "DEUTSCHLAND"
HAS NO REASON TO HIDE.

WITH HER 10,000 TONS DISPLACEMENT, SHE
IS JUST WITHİN THE ALLOWED WEİGHT LIMIT

FOR A GERMAN NAVAL VESSEL
ACCORDIİNG TO THE TREATY STIPULATIONS.

WITH THEİR PRESENCE
DURIİNG A FLEET MANEUVER,

HIİTLER AND GÖOERİNG DEMONSTRATE
THE CLAİM TO POWER

OF A MILITARILY
RESTRENGTHENED GERMANY.

SOON AFTERWARDS, THE NAZIS PUBLİCLY
DECLARE GERMANY'S REARMAMENT.

Kershaw: REARMAMENTS HAVE BEEN
CONTIİNUİNG İN SECRET.

AND ÜNDER THE VERSAİLLES
STIPULATIONS,

GERMANY WAS ONLY ALLOWED
AN ARMY OF 100,000.

NOW THE NEW CONFİDENCE ENABLED
HIİTLER TO TAKE THE STEPS--

WHICH WOULD HAVE BEEN TAKEN
EVENTUALLY ANYWAY-- TO RUSH FORWARD

THE ANNOUNCEMENT THAT
A GERMAN LUFTWAFFE EXİSTED

AND ALSO TO İNTRODUCE İN MARCH
1935 THE GENERAL CONSOCRİPTİON,

WHICH WAS A COMPLETE BREACH
OF THE VERSAİLLES TREATY.

HIİTLER ÜSED
A BRİTİSH WHİTE PAPER

WHICH HAD ANNOUNCED ALTERATIONS
IN BRİTİSH REARMAMENT

BECAUSE OF THE RECOGNİTİON OF
SECRET GERMAN REARMAMENTS THEN.

HİTLER ÜSED THAT AS AN AFFRONT THAT
THIS WAS AN EXCUSE TO BRIİNG THIS FORWARD

AND ALSO THE FİGHT THAT THE
FRENCH HAD EXTENDED CONSOCRIİPTİON

IN THEİR OWN COUNTRY
FROM ONE YEAR TO TWO YEARS.

SO THESE WERE PLAİNLY EXCUSES
FROM HIİTLER'S SİDE,

BUT NONETHELESS, THEY SERVED
THEN TO BRİNG FORWARD

THE ANNOUNCEMENT OF A GERMAN AİR FORCE AND
THEN THE ANNOUNCEMENT OF GENERAL CONSOCRİPTİON.

SO GREAT APPLAUSE OF THE
POPULATION WITHİN GERMANY

WHO WERE VERY PROUD OF THE FİGHT
THAT THIS HAD BEEN DONE,

BUT, YET AĞAİN, ANOTHER NAIL
IN THE COFFİN OF VERSAİLLES.

Narrator: FOR THE LAST 15 YEARS,

THE REİCHSWEHR HAD BEEN
AN ARMY OF VOLUNTEERS,

LİMİTED TO A NUMBER
OF 100,000 MEN.

NOW MANY GERMAN CİTİES GET TO
HAVE THEİR OWN GARRISON AĞAIN.

IN THE TOWN OF WIİSMAR, THE
EVENT 15 CELEBRATED WITH A PARADE.

IN A NEWSREEL APPEARANCE,
LUFTWAFFE COMMANDER HERMANN GOERİNG

SUMMONS GERMANY'S
NEWFOUND SELF-CONFİDENCE.

İSPEAKING GERMAN)l

HERMANN GOERİNG HAD BECOME THE EMBODİMENT
OF THE UNİTY BETWEEN PARTY, STATE,

AND ARMY LEADERSHIP
IN THE THİRD REİCH.

İHAMANN SPEAKING GERMAN)l

Translator: GOERİNG WAS
HİTLER'S OPPOSİTE, PHYSİCALLY,

AND ALL THE MORE SO WHEN HE
BECAME BİGGER AND FLABBİER,

NOT TO MENTİON HİS WEARİNG
MAKEUP AND ALL HİS REGALIİA.

WHENEVER THEY STOOD
NEXT TO EACH OTHER,

HIİTLER WOULD ALWAYS
LOOK MUCH BETTER,

AND THIS WAS ESPECİALLY NOTİCEABLE
AT GÖOERİNG'S WEDDIİNG İN BERLİN.

THE POMP OF THE CEREMONY
WAS UNBELİEVABLE.

HITLER WAS BEST MAN,
AND ON THE FİLM ÖF THE WEDDİNG,

HE CAN BE SEEN STANDING
NEXT TO THE COUPLE

LOOKİING RATHER PLAİN
AND ÜNPRETENTİOCUS,

BUT HE DIDN'T NEED
THE GLAMOUR.

HE WAS HITLER,
THE REDEEMER.

HERMANN GOERİNG 1S İNDİSPUTABLY

HITLER HAS EVERY REASON
TO BE CHEERFUL.

AS FUEHRER AND CHANCELLOR

HE CAN MAKE ALL THE
IMPORTANT DECİSİONS.

IT IS NOT CLEAR HOW ABSOLUTE

"ULTİMATELY, ALL THAT REMAİNS TO REMIİND
