Narrator: FOR NAZI GERMANY, 1936 158 THE YEAR OF OLYMPİC GAMES.

THE REGİME WANTS TO PRESENT GERMANY

TO THE IİNTERNATİONAL COMMUNİTY AS A PEACE-LOVİNG NATION.

AMATEUR FILMMAKER LUDWIG KEİM DOCUMENTS THE OPENİNG

OF THE FOURTH WİNTER OLYMPİCS BY HIİTLER

ON THE SİXTH OF FEBRUARY IN GARMİSCH-PARTENİRCHEN.

ATHLETES FROM 28 NATIONS ARE PRESENT IN THE STADIUM.

A VISİT TO THE WARTBURG, WHERE MARTIN LUTHER

THEN A COZY GET-TOGETHER

ORGANIZED BY THE GERMAN LABOR FRONT.

THESE SCENES ARE TYPICAL OF THE FEEL-GOOD DICTATORSHİP

DURIİNG THE MİD-1930's.

IN THE THİRD REİCH,

THE İNDİVİDUAL MÜUST SUBORDIİNATE HİMSELF

TO THE COMMUNİTY UNCONDİTİONALLY.

BY NOW, PEOPLE NEED THE PERMİSSİON OF THE AÜUTHORİTİES

BEFORE THEY CHOOSE A PROFESSİON OR CHANGE JOBS.

AND THEİR LOYALTY 15 REWARDED WITH TAX RELİEF

AND SOCİAL WARMTH.

İMUSİC PLAYING)

UÜNDER THE TERMS OF THE TREATY OF VERSAİLLES,

THE RHİNELAND IS A DEMİLİTARİZED ZONE.

FOR SOME TIİME, HİTLER HAS BEEN CONSIİDERİNG

DISPATCHING TROOPS SO AS TO CREATE A FAİT ACCOMPLI.

FINALLY, ON THE SEVENTH OF MARCH, 1936,

HE ÖRDERS THE WEHRMACHT TO CROSS IİNTO THE RHİNELAND.

KOBLENZ AND COLOGNE ARE OCCUPİED,

WHILE THE PROPAGANDA CAMERAS ROLL.

Man: HİTLER ALWAYS LATER REFERS TO THIS

AS AN ENORMOUS RISK THAT HE TOOK THEN,

WHEN THE GERMAN TROOPS ENTERED THE DEMİLİTARİIZED ZONE

ON THE SEVENTH OF MARCH, 1936.

IN REALIİTY, THE RİSK WAS LESS GREAT THAN THAT,

BECAUSE GERMAN IİNTELLİĞENCE İN PARIS HAD ALREADY REPORTED BACK

THAT THE FRENCH WOULD NOT MOVE ÜNLESS THE BRİTİSH MOVED,

AND İT WAS CERTAİN THAT THE BRİTİSH

WOULD NOT DO ANYTHING OTHER THAN ENTER VERBAL PROTESTS

AT WHAT HAD GOÖNE ON.

IT WAS CERTAİN THEY WOULD NOT MOVE MILITARILY.

SO HİTLER KNEW THAT THE FRENCH WERE EXTREMELY UNLİKELY TO MOVE.

HE SENT, l THİNK, ONLY 3,000 TROOPS IİNTO THE RHİNELAND.

IF THE FRENCH HAD MOVED AGAIİNST THIS,

OF COURSE, THE RESULT WOULD PROBABLY HAVE BEEN

THAT THE GERMAN TROOPS WOULD HAVE BEEN FORCED

TO RETREAT PRETTY RAPIDLY.

IT WOULD HAVE BEEN A BİG LOSS OF FACE FOR HİTLER,

AND WHO KNOWS WHAT THE CONSEOUENCES

OF THAT MİGHT HAVE BEEN.

Narrator: FRANCE'S LACK OF REACTION

BOOSTS HIİTLER'S SELF-ASSURANCE.

FROM NOW ON, HE BELİEVE HİMSELF TO BE İNFALLIBLE.

OTHER RESTRIİCTİONS OF THE VERSAİLLES TREATY

FOREİGN SHARES, AND SO ON AT THE REİCH'S DISPOSAL,

IN THE JARGON OF THE TİME.

THOSE WHO LEFT THE COUNTRY WERE NOT ALLOWED

THAT WERE IİMPOUNDED OR LEFT BEHİND

WERE UÜSED TO BUY COMMODİTİES.

Narrator: FOOTAGE FROM THE SPRIİNG, 1936.

THE KUAFHAUSENDAM IN BERLİN

1S THE THİRD REİCH'S SHOP WINDOW.

HERE NAZI GERMANY PRESENTS TO THE WORLD

ITS COSMOPOLIİTAN AND MODERN SİDE.

ALL JEWİSH-OWNED SHOPS WERE FORCIİBLY CLOSED DOWN

DURIİNG THE PREVİOUS YEAR,

JEWİSH BUSİNESSES WERE VANDALIZED BY GANGS OF THÜGS,

AND JEWİSH CİTİZENS BEATEN UP IN BROAD DAYLIĞHT.

NOW THE REİCH'S CAPITAL 15 BEİNG DECKED OUT

FOR THE APPROACHING SUMMER OLYMPICS.

AMERIİCAN MOVIİES ARE STİLL SHOWN IN GERMAN CİNEMAS.

AND HOLLYWOOD HAPPILY COLLECTS UP THE PROCEEDS

FROM THE THİRD REİCH.

AT THE SAME TİME, İN A STUDİO THE BERLİN TEMPLEHOF,

THE SHOOTİNG COMMENCES FOR A COMEDY TIİTLED

"WENN WIİR ALLE ENGEL WAEREN." "İF WE ALL WERE ANGELS."

AMATEUR FOOTAGE SHOWS

THE LEADING ACTOR, HEİNZ RUHMANN, AT WORK.

BEİNG THE PERFECT EMBODİMENT OF THE COMMON MAN

AND A SYMBOL FOR THE SOCİAL ACHİEVEMENTS

OF THE THİRD REİCH, RUHMANN IS

OÖNE OF GERMANY'S MOST SÜCCESSFUL FİLM STARS,

WITH A FEE OF 80,000 REİCHSMARKS PER MOVİE.

THE BEGĞİNNİNG OF AVGUÜST MARKS THE OPENİNG

AND THE HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF VİSİTORS

FROM ALL AROUND THE GLOBE WHO HAVE COME TO THE CITY

WILL EXPERİENCE THE PEACE-LOVİNG NATÜRE

OF THE NAZI REGİME.

PROPAGANDA MINİSTER JOSEPH GÖEBBELS İNSTRUCTS

THAT ALL ANTI-SEMİTİC RABBLE-ROUSİNG SLOGANS

BE REMOVED FROM THE CİTY.

DURING THE COVERAGE OF THE GAMES,

THE RACE ASPECT 15 TO BE IGNORED.

PRIOR TO THE GAMES, THE U.S.A. HAD THREATENED

NOT TO SEND THEİR TEAM TO BERLİN

IF JEWİSH ATHLETES WERE TO BE DISCRIMINATED AGAIİNST.

Kershaw: A BOYCOTT

SHOULD CERTAİNLY HAVE TAKEN PLACE ON MORAL GROUNDS,

BUT 1T WAS POLIİTİCALLY DECİDED

NOT TO GO AHEAD WITH THE BOYCOTT.

A BOYCOTT IN POLİTİCAL TERMS

WOULD PROBABLY HAVE NOT MADE MUCH DİFFERENCE

BECAUSE IT WOULD HAVE CONSOLIDATED

THE NOTİON İN GERMANY THAT THE WORLD

WAS AGAİNST THİS REGİME AND PROBABLY EVEN,

IN A SENSE, HAVE STRENGTHENED HİTLER.

AS 1T WAS, THE FACT THAT THE WORLD CAME TO BERLİN

AND TOOK PART İN THESE OLYMPIC GAMES

WAS AN IİMMENSE PROPAGANDA TRIİUMPH FOR HİTLER.

AND OF COURSE, THE BEST FACE WAS PUT UPON THİS.

THEREFORE, THE PERSECUTİON OF THE JEWS

WAS HELD BACK IN THESE MONTHS.

GERMANY LOOKED AT 1TS BEST DURIİNG THE OLYMPİCS.

THEY WERE A MAGNIİFİCENT SÜCCESS.

ALSO İN SPORTİNG TERMS, TOO, IT WAS A BİG SPECTACLE.

AND SO HİTLER WAS ABLE TO ACHIEVE

A REMARKABLE PROPAGANDA TRIUMPH THROUGH THE BERLİN OLYMPİCS.

Narrator: YET SOME PEOPLE ASTUTELY RECOGNİZED

THE REAL IİNTENTİONS OF THE NAZIS.

JEWİSH PHİLOLOGİST VİCTOR KLEMPERER NOTES IN HİS DİARY

ON THE 13th OF AUGUST, 1936,

"IT IS CONSTANTLY DRUMMED INTO THE GERMAN PEOPLE

"AS WELL AS THE VISİTORS THAT WHAT ONE SEES HERE

"IS THE UPTÜURN, THE BLOSSOMİNG, THE NEW SPIRIT,

"THE UNİTY, FESTİVENESS, AND SPLENDOR, AND OF COURSE,

"THE PEACEFUL, LOVİINGLY EMBRACING THE WHOLE WORLD SPIİRİT

OF THE THİRD REİCH."

İIWOMAN SPEAKING GERMAN)l

IT'sS EASY TO RECOGNİZE HIİTLER'S TACTICS

OF TİGHTENİNG THE REİNS

AND THEN LOOSENİNG THEM AGĞALİN, THEN TİGHTENİNG AGĞAİN

TO PURSUE HIS EXTREME POLİCİES.

THE OLYMPIC GAMES WERE AN OPPORTUNİTY

TO DEMONSTRATE TO THE WORLD, "LOOK AT US.

"WE ARE A LİBERAL COUNTRY.

"THE THİNGS THAT PEOPLE SAY ABOUT US ARE SİMPLY NOT TRUE.

"THE JEWS OUTSİDE OF GERMANY

"MAY BE TELLİNG HORRIİBLE STORİES ABOUT US,

BUT HERE EVERYTHIİNG 1S FİNE."

HE SAW THE GAMES

AS A GREAT CHANCE TO GET THIS MESSAGE ACROSS,

AND MANY PEOPLE FELL FOR llT.

Narrator: HİTLER ATTENDS THE COMPETİTİONS

NEARLY EVERY DAY.

NEWSPAPERS AND RADIO

OFFER EXTENSİVE COVERAGE OF THE GAMES.

IN 1936, SPORTS ARE EXPLOİTED

FOR THE PURPOSES OF POLİTİCS AND PROPAGANDA

LIKE NEVER BEFORE.

THE BERLİN SÜUMMER OLYMPICS ARE THE FİRST SPORTİNG EVENT

AT WHICH THE LATEST TECHNOLOGİCAL ACHİIEVEMENT

15 BROUGHT IİNTO SERVİCE.

IN 1935, GERMANY WAS THE FİRST COUNTRY İN THE WORLD

TO INTRODUCE A REGULAR TELEVİSİON PROGRAM.

IN SEPTEMBER 1936,

THE FEW VIEWERS CAN SEE A REPORTER

OF THE NAZI-CONTROLLED BROADCASTER GİVİNG AN ACCOUNT

OF THE PARTY CONGRESS IN NUREMBERG.

PROPAGANDA MINİSTER JOSEPH GÖEBBELS DOES NOT BELİEVE

TELEVİSİON TO BE SUİTABLE AS A MASS MEDİUM.

HIİTLER'S ACCOMPLİSHMENTS ARE NOTİCED

BEYOND GERMANY'S BORDERS,

MANAGING TO DECEİVE EVEN CRITICAL MINDS,

LIKE THE LEADER OF BRİTAİN'S LİBERAL PARTY,

DAVID LLOYD GEORGE, WHO HAD BEEN THE COUNTRY'S PRİME MİNİSTER

WHEN THE VERSAİLLES TREATY WAS SİGNED.

AFTER A VISIİT AT THE BERGHOF, HE PRAİSES HİTLER

AND HİS POLİTİCS, DECLARING THE FUEHRER OF THE GERMANS

"A REALLY GREAT MAN."

THROUGH THE PROPAGANDA MACHINERY,

NAZI LEADERS LİIKE HERMANN GOERİNG DO THEİR UÜTMOST

TO CONVİNCE THE NATIONAL COMMUNİTY

THAT HİTLER NOW ENJOYS UNANIMOUS ACCEPTANCE.

YET, EVEN AFTER ALMOST 4 YEARS OF NAZI RÜLE,

SKEPTİCS EXİST AMONG THE GERMANS.

(ALY SPEAKING GERMAN)l

Translator: MANY PEOPLE HAD A WAİT-AND-SEE ATTİITÜDE

AND WERE ALSO SKEPTİCAL.

THE MAJORİTY OF GERMANS WERE NOT SHOUTING

"HEİL HİTLER" EXCİTEDLY.

ÖNE AİM OF A TOTALİTARİAN REGİME

1S THAT THE POPULATION ADOPTS A PASSİVE ATTİITÜDE.

PEOPLE SHOULD CONCERN THEMSELVES WITH THEMSELVES,

FEEL MORE ORLESS GOOD,

AND HOPE THAT BETTER CONDIİTİONS WIİLL COME,

AND ALL THE SOONER IF THEY MAKE SOME EFFORT.

ON THE ANNİVERSARY OF THE FOUNDATION OF THE NAZI PARTY,

HE GİVES A SPEECH IN THE BALLROOM

OF MUNİCH'S HOFBRAUHAUS

ABOUT THE EARLY DAYS OF THE MOVEMENT.

EVEN NOW, HİTLER ÜSES THE CHARGED ATMOSPHERE

OF BAVARIAN BEER HALLS AS A STAGE

FOR HIS GROTESOLUE AND RAMPANT TIRADES.

AND ONCE AGAİN, THE OLD COMRADES BACK HIM UP

IN HİS DELUSİONAL FANATICISM.

BAD CROPS AND THE İNEFFİCİENT ADMINISTRATION

OF AĞRICULTURAL PRODUCE HAVE LED TO FOOD SHORTAGES

AND DİSCONTENT AMONG THE POPULATION.

TO İMPROVE THE SIİTUATİION, NAZI LEADERS DECİDE TO RELY

ON SELF-SUFFİCİENCY.

A 4-YEAR-PLAN SHALL HELP TO COME TO GRİPS WİTH THE PROBLEMS.

(ALY SPEAKING GERMAN)l

Translator: GERMANY WAS UNABLE TO FEED

ITS POPULATION AT THAT TİME.

GERMAN HOUSEWİVES STARTED TO NOTİCE İT

DURIİNG 1936, '37, '38

BECAUSE OF THE SO-CALLED FAT GAP.

AMONG OTHER GOOD, COOKİNG OIL WAS İN SHORT SUPPLY.

SO IT HAD TO BE İMPORTED.

MEAT WAS ALSO İN SHORT SUÜPPLY.

SO ÖONE HAD TO İMPORT CATTLE FEED AND SO ON.

BUT TO DO ALL THIS, THEY NEEDED FOREİGN CURRENCY--

U.S. DOLLARS, SWISS FRANCS, OR STERLİNG--

AS NO ONE WAS WILLİNG TO ACCEPT PAYMENT

IN GERMAN REİCHSMARKS.

THERE WAS NO İNTEREST FOR THİS

ON THE İNTERNATİIONAL STOCK MARKETS.

WAS TO FEND OFF COMMUNİSM IN WESTERN EUROPE.

ON TOP OF THAT, HOWEVER,

THIS GAVE HIM THE OPPORTUNİTY

TO TEST OUT THE GERMAN AİR FORCE IN ACTION,

WITH THE CONDOR LEĞİON,

AND BEYOND THAT EVEN AND PROMPTED BY GOERİNG,

THERE WERE ADVANTAGES TO BE HAD FROM RAW MATERIİALS

THAT SPAİN COULD PROVİDE,

AND THEREFORE THERE WERE A NUMBER OF İNCENTİVES

TO GET ENGAGED IN THE SPANİSH CİVİL WAR,

ALTHOUGH IT HAS TO BE SAD HİTLER İNİTİALLY THOUGHT

IT WOULD BE A VERY OUİCK AND EASY AFFAIR,

IT DRAGGED OUT, OF COURSE, FOR 3 YEARS IN THE EVENT.

NEW TAX BRACKETS, WHICH ARE ACTUALLY STILL ÜSED TO THİS DAY.

ESSENTİALLY, THE IDEA WAS TO OFFER TAX PRİVİLEGES

TO FAMILİES WİTH CHİLDREN AND NOT TO UNMARRİED WORKERS.

A FAMILY WIİTH A FATHER A SOLE EARNER,

THE WIİFE AT HOME OR MAYBE EARNING A LİTTLE ON THE SİDE

AND 3 OR 4 CHİLDREN WAS A COMMON SETUP AT THAT TİME,

AND THE GÖVERNMENT REWARDED THEM WITH 1094 TO 2094 LESS TAXATION

TO MUSSOLİNİ HOW STRONG GERMANY HAD BECOME.

UNTİL THEN, HİTLER HAD BEEN, IN A SENSE,

THE JUNİOR PARTNER İN THE... WHAT HAD COME TO BE KNOWN

AS THE AXIS BETWEEN GERMANY AND ITALY.

HİTLER'S POSİTİON HAD, OF COURSE,

GOT STRONGER AND STRONGER,

IN PARTICULAR IN 1936, FOLLOWIİNG THE TAKEOVER OF THE RHİNELAND.

BUT NOW THE İNVİTATİION OF MUSSOLİNİ TO GERMANY

WAS TO DEMONSTRATE TO HIİM AT FIİRSTHAND

THAT HİTLER CAUTIOUSLY INTRODUCED İN SMALL STEPS

WERE ALL INTRODUCED İN A DAY İN AUSTRIA.

OF COURSE, HE'D GOT THE SUDETENLAND,

BUT HE HAD WANTED ACTUALLY TO ATTACK CZECHOSLOVAKIA,

AND SO, AT THE LAST MİNÜTE, HE'D HAD TO DEFER

THE ATTACK ON CZECHOSLOVAKIİA.

AS GOEBBELS SAID, "YOU CAN'T FİGHT A WAR

HAD BEEN PREPARED TO GİVE HİTLER

THE OUTWARD EXPANSION GOES HAND İN HAND

SO FAR, JEWS İN GERMANY HAVE BEEN ISOLATED AND HUMİLİATED

PRIMARILY BY MEANS OF DIİSCRIİMİNATIİNG LAWS.

ON THE NİGHT OF THE NİNTH OF NOVEMBER,

THE NIGHT OF BROKEN GLASS, SO-CALLED KRISTALLNACHT,

NAZI GERMANY FLİNGS OPEN THE LAST REMAİNING MORAL FLOODGATES.

THE ANTI-SEMİTİC POGROM

INSTIGATED BY PROPAGANDA MIİNİSTER JOSEPH GÖEBBELS

CULMINATES IN THE DESTRUCTİON OF HUNDREDS OF SYNAGOGUES

AND OVER 8,000 JEWİSH BUSİNESSES

AND THE KILLING OF SOME 100 JEWS BY THE ANGRY MOBS.

WHAT 15 MORE, THE VICTİMS THEMSELVES

MUST PAY FOR THE DAMAGE.

İMAN SPEAKING GERMANl

Translator: IT WAS DECİDED THAT THE JEWS

HAD TO PAY A FİNE OF ÖNE BİLLİON REİCHSMARKS,

AN AMOUNT THAT CONSTİTUÜTED 6.54

OF THE STATE'S ANNUAL İNCOME AT THE TİME.

THE REİCH NEEDED THE MONEY BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T KNOW

HOW TO PAY THEİR CİVİL SERVANTS OTHERWİISE.

THE REGİME WAS CONTİNUOUSLY HOVERİNG

ON THE BRİNK OF İNSOLVENCY,

AND THE ONLY WAY OUT WAS TO OCCUPY MORE TERRİTORİES,

OPPRESS MORE MINORİTİES, AND TRY AND TAKE AWAY

MORE AND MORE FROM THEM.

Narrator: HİTLER PLANS TO MANIİFEST THE GREATNESS

OF THE FUEHRER STATE

IN THE ARCHİTECTÜRE OF THE REİCH'S CAPITAL.

TO REALIİZE HIİS VİSİON OF THE WORLD CAPITAL GERMANIA,

LARGE SECTİONS OF BERLİN'S İNNER CİTY MÜST BE DEMOLİSHED.

A MAİN RESETTLEMENT DEPARTMENT,

WHICH WAS SPECİALLY ESTABLİSHED FOR THIS PURPOSE,

SEES TO THE VACATING

OF WHOLE STREETS AND APARTMENT BUİLDİNGS.

FIRST ON THE AĞENDA IS A NEW CHANCELLERY.

ON THE SEVENTH OF FEBRUARY, 1939,

ARCHITECT ALBERT SPEER LEADS HIS EMPLOYER

THROUGH THE NOT-OUİTE COMPLETED ROOMS.

THE CHANCELLERY OF THE REİCH 158 PREDOMİNANTLY

A REPRESENTATIVE BUİLDİNG.

ACCORDIİNG TO THE FUEHRER'S WiSH,

THE DISTANCE BETWEEN THE ENTRANCE

AND THE RECEPTİON HALL,

ALONG THE SEEMİNGLY ENDLESS CORRIDORS

WAS TO CONVEY AN İMPRESSİON

OF THE THİRD REİCH'S GRANDEUR TO THE GÜESTS.

DURING THE NEW YEAR RECEPTİON,

HIİTLER REASSERTS HIS PEACEFUL İNTENTİONS.

ONLY A FEW WEEKS LATER,

ON THE 30th OF JANUARY, 1939.

EXACTLY 6 YEARS AFTER SEİZİNG POWER İN BERLİN,

THE FUEHRER, DUÜRİNG A SPEECH IN THE REİCHSTAG,

SHEDS THE MASK OF PEACEFULNESS FOR GOOD.

THOSE WHO HAVE A CHANCE TO LEAVE GERMANY

TAKE ADVANTAGĞGE OF İT NOW,

EVEN IF İT MEANS LEAVİNG BEHİND THEİR HOMES AND FORTÜNES.

MANY PEOPLE'S PLANS FAİL

DUE TO RESTRİCTİVE IİMMİGRATION LAWS

IN FRANCE, BRIİTAİN, SWİTZERLAND, AND THE UÜNİTED STATES.

THIS AMERİCAN FOOTAGE SUGGESTS THAT THE REFUGEES

CAN EXPECT GENEROUS ASSISTANCE.

REALITY 15 VERY DİFFERENT.

THE REFUGEES ARE FACED WITH BUREAUCRATIC OBSTACLES

AND ANTI-GERMAN RESENTMENT.

MOST COUNTRIES HAVE IİMPOSED ENTRY RESTRIİCTİONS.

STILL, SOME 150,000 JEWS SUCCEED IN LEAVİING THE THİRD REİCH.

TRANSPORTS WIİTH CHİLDREN ARE TREATED PREFERENTİALLY.

ONLY DISTANT COUNTRIES SUCH AS CHIİNA OR MEXİCO

ARE WILLING TO TAKE İN REFUGEES WITHOUT VISAS.

SİNCE HİTLER'S ACCESSİON TO POWER, NAZI GERMANY HAS SPENT

45 BILLİON REİCHSMARKS FOR RE-ARMAMENT.

BASED ON THE PROVİSİONS OF THE 4-YEAR PLAN,

THE MONEY WAS MAİNLY SPENT ON NEW TANKS AND AİRCRAFT.

HOWEVER, THE FINANCING OF THE PROGRAM

HAS LONG REACHED ITSLIMITS,

AND ONLY THE EXPANSION OF THE THİRD REİCH

CAN TAP NEW SOURCES OF CAPITAL.

THE FİRST VİCTİMS OF THİS STRATEĞY ARE THE CZECHS

IN MARCH, 1939.

CZECHOSLOVAKIAN PRESİDENT EMİL HACHA

CANNOT STOP THE SYSTEMATIC PILLAĞING OF HİS COUNTRY.

THE OCCUPATION OF THE SUDETENLAND

HAD BEEN THE FIİRST STEP IN THİS DİRECTİON.

(ALY SPEAKING GERMAN)l

Translator: THE PROPERTY OF THE CZECHS

WHO LEFT SUDETENLAND AFTER THE OCCUPATION

BECAME STATE PROPERTY.

THE PROPERTY OF THE JEWS FROM CARLSBAD

WHO FLED FROM THE GERMANS BECAME STATE PROPERTY.

LATER THAT YEAR,

PRAGUE WAS OCCUPİED, TOO.

THE SAME THING ALSO HAPPENED WITH THE ANNEXATION OF AUSTRIA.

AMONG THE FİRST TO GO İN

WAS ALWAYS A SPECİAL COMMANDER OF THE REİCHSBANK,

WHO WOULD SEİZE THE OCCUPİED COUNTRY'S CENTRAL BANK

AND THE BANK VAULTS,

AND THİS PRACTİCE CONTİNUED ALL THROUGH THE SECOND WORLD WAR.

IN EVERY NEW COUNTRY THEY OCCUPİED,

THEY İMMEDİATELY TOOK POSSESSİON OF 1TS RESERVES,

WHICH WERE UÜSED TO STABİLİZE GERMANY'S ECONOMY

FOR A SHORT PERIOD OF TİME,

BECAUSE IT WAS THROWN COMPLETELY OUT OF KİLTER.

Narrator: ON THE i5th OF MARCH,

THE WEHRMACHT MARCHES IİNTO PRAGUE.

6 YEARS OF BRUTAL SUBJUGATION BEĞİN FOR THE CZECH POPULATION.

"L SÜCCEEDED İN WHAT HAD BEEN FUTİLELY ASPİRED TO

FOR CENTURİES," HİTLER, IN A VİCTORİOUS MOOD,

18 PURPORTED TO HAVE SAID, ADDING,

"T WIİLL GÖ DOWN İN HİSTORY AS THE GREATEST GERMAN."

Kershaw: UNTIİL THEN, THE WESTERN POWERS

HAD REGARDED HİTLER AS A VERY RADICAL NATIONALIST,

AND HE HİMSELF, OF COURSE, HAD ALWAYS SAD

HE WANTED TO BRİNG PARTS OF EUROPE

BACK INTO GERMANY, WHERE THERE WAS AN ETHNIC GERMAN POPULATION.

HE STIPULATED WIİTH REGARDS TO THE SUDETENLAND

THIS WAS HİS LAST TERRIİTORİAL CLAİM.

SO THE WESTERN POWERS HAD SEEN HIM

AS AN ARCH-NATIONALIST, A VERY RADICAL NATIONALIST.

BUT OF COURSE, THE ENTRY İNTO PRAGUE,

NOW FOR THE FİRST TİME INTO A COUNTRY

WHERE THE POPULATION WAS NOT GERMAN,

OPENED EVERYBODY'S EYES,

AND THE PRESSÜURE İN BRİTAİN NOW ON CHAMBERLAIN

TO UPTURN HİS POLİCY OF APPEASEMENT

NOW BECAME UNSTOPPABLE.

CHAMBERLAIİN REVERSED THIS POLICY

AND NOW ACCEPTED THE FACT THAT HIİTLER WANTED WORLD DOMİNİON

AND HE WOULD NOT STOP AT NOTHIİNG.
