00:00:18,335 --> 00:00:21,647
"The victor will never be asked if he told truth"
Adolf Hitler
3
00:00:29,679 --> 00:00:31,136
Since the mid-20th sentury,
4
00:00:31,594 --> 00:00:32,452
the world has ever heard of
an incredible story,
5
00:00:32,552 --> 00:00:35,136
the story of a boy from an ordinary
family whose ambition it was
6
00:00:35,516 --> 00:00:38,843
to became an artist, but who
instead became a drifter.
7
00:00:47,825 --> 00:00:49,981
His destiny however was not to drift
into the awaiting oblivion,
8
00:00:53,059 --> 00:00:53,059
but to rise to the greaest heights
of power, eventually to become
9
00:00:53,531 --> 00:00:56,709
one of the most influential men
who ever lived.
10
00:01:03,127 --> 00:01:05,438
Now for the first time, here is
the true and fctual account
11
00:01:06,220 --> 00:01:07,839
of a story many believe to be...
12
00:01:08,377 --> 00:01:10,581
The Greatest Story NEVER Told!
13
00:01:20,981 --> 00:01:23,470
The Untold Story of Adolf Hitler
14
00:01:40,330 --> 00:01:44,078
ADOLF HITLER
THE GREATEST STORY NEVER TOLD!
15
00:01:48,075 --> 00:01:49,878
April 20, 1889
Braunau am Inn, Austria
16
00:01:49,913 --> 00:01:52,000
The story began here in the
Austrian town of Braunau,
17
00:01:52,100 --> 00:01:55,795
with a child born in
this house, Adolf Hitler.
18
00:01:56,299 --> 00:01:59,365
At his peak, the most
popular ruler in Europe.
19
00:01:59,937 --> 00:02:04,440
The child born here in Braunau,
belonged to that handful of human beings,
20
00:02:04,475 --> 00:02:09,161
who have clearly and decisively
changed the history of the 20th century.
21
00:02:10,123 --> 00:02:13,943
Linz, Austria, the site of the
only memorial to the Hitler family.
22
00:02:13,978 --> 00:02:15,866
The grave of Hitler's parents.
23
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:21,269
Nothing about his
parents or Adolf's early life,
24
00:02:21,304 --> 00:02:24,998
gave any hint of the extra
ordinary career that was to come.
25
00:02:30,500 --> 00:02:35,900
His father Alois was a stern short tempered
custom's official who beat his son.
26
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:38,700
His mother Klara
tried to protect him.
27
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:41,800
When she died young
Adolf was broken by grief.
28
00:02:41,900 --> 00:02:45,500
He kept her portrait with
him for the rest of his life.
29
00:02:47,100 --> 00:02:51,600
The infant Adolf was baptized
and brought up as a Catholic.
30
00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:56,400
At the age of 6 he entered the
monastery school at Lambach.
31
00:02:56,500 --> 00:02:59,400
Soon he was top of his class.
32
00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:04,800
Hitler was a chorister at the
Great Abby Church of Lumbach.
33
00:03:04,900 --> 00:03:10,900
I used he said, "to intoxicate myself
with the solemn splendor of the services."
34
00:03:15,300 --> 00:03:20,400
Every day when he sang in the choir,
he saw the memorial to an earlier abbot.
35
00:03:20,500 --> 00:03:23,700
Above it was an emblem,
which a quarter of a century later,
36
00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:28,200
Hitler was to adopt for the
Nazi Party, the Swastika.
37
00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:36,000
In his teens Hitler became
a moody adolescent.
38
00:03:36,100 --> 00:03:40,900
At secondary school in Linz, he
lost interest in most of his work.
39
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:45,800
His ambition was to go to Vienna
and become an Artist or Architect.
40
00:03:50,700 --> 00:03:55,300
Once there he produced architectural
drawings and water colors like these.
41
00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:58,800
Competent, but not good enough
to win the place he longed for
42
00:03:58,900 --> 00:04:01,900
at the Viennese
Academy Of Fine Arts.
43
00:04:07,703 --> 00:04:09,496
Vienna, Austria
44
00:04:13,150 --> 00:04:18,050
Little by little all Hitlers early
ambitions in Vienna turned sour.
45
00:04:18,150 --> 00:04:20,150
After the shock of
being turned down twice
46
00:04:20,250 --> 00:04:23,450
by the Academy of Fine
Arts, he became a drifter.
47
00:04:23,550 --> 00:04:29,150
Hitler later called his period in Vienna
the most miserable time of my life.
48
00:04:29,250 --> 00:04:31,350
Three of those
miserable years,
49
00:04:31,450 --> 00:04:37,050
were spent here in a Viennese back
street at this hostile for homeless men.
50
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:43,850
In this depressing hostile, the future
Führer passed much of the day
51
00:04:43,950 --> 00:04:47,800
sitting with other inmates churning
out drawings of water colors
52
00:04:47,900 --> 00:04:49,650
which earned him
a modest income.
53
00:04:49,750 --> 00:04:53,250
When he drifted from
Vienna to Germany in 1913,
54
00:04:53,350 --> 00:04:58,350
he was still dreaming of becoming
a great Artist or famous Architect.
55
00:05:01,850 --> 00:05:04,850
Munich, the first
of August 1914.
56
00:05:04,950 --> 00:05:09,650
A cheering crowd welcomes the
outbreak of the First World War.
57
00:05:16,150 --> 00:05:20,800
On the right is a photographer and
among the crowd he's photographing,
58
00:05:20,900 --> 00:05:24,250
is the 25 year
old Adolf Hitler.
59
00:05:28,647 --> 00:05:30,510
Adolf Hitler - The war hero
60
00:05:34,300 --> 00:05:39,600
If you look at the tenacity of his
service, I mean he's a fanatic.
61
00:05:39,700 --> 00:05:44,400
And he petitioned King
Ludwig III of Bavaria,
62
00:05:44,500 --> 00:05:48,600
to enlist in what is referred to
as the King's own regiment.
63
00:05:48,700 --> 00:05:51,300
That's an elite Bavarian unit.
64
00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:57,200
He was accepted, but put in the
16th Bavarian reserve infantry.
65
00:05:57,300 --> 00:06:01,550
And World War One is a
major influence on Hitler's life.
66
00:06:01,650 --> 00:06:05,800
Now he served his basic
training without complaining.
67
00:06:05,900 --> 00:06:09,700
But he was always willing to
offer his fellow comrades help.
68
00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:15,000
He spoke about the evil of tobacco
and alcohol to his fellow soldiers,
69
00:06:15,100 --> 00:06:19,800
and they liked him because of
his drawings that he did for them.
70
00:06:19,900 --> 00:06:20,900
He would do
sketches for them.
71
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:25,400
Remember he sketched and did a
variety of things you know in his youth,
72
00:06:25,500 --> 00:06:28,700
as he was trying to
get into Art school.
73
00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:32,300
So he really got along
with his fellow soldiers.
74
00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:37,200
At one point during the trench
duties, in between 1914- 1918,
75
00:06:37,300 --> 00:06:41,700
he will have a dog, somebody
going to steal from him.
76
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:44,200
During World War
One Adolf Hitler
77
00:06:44,300 --> 00:06:49,000
repeatedly, repeatedly
volunteered for hazardous duty.
78
00:06:49,100 --> 00:06:53,700
His first combat was
October the 29th, 1914.
79
00:06:53,800 --> 00:07:03,700
Hitler's unit lost 3.000 of its 3.600 men,
after making 5 assaults on the enemy position.
80
00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:07,500
Now Hitler had one
of his sleeves shot off.
81
00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:10,900
He walked out of a tent where
he'd been talking with some men,
82
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:16,100
and a couple of seconds later a shell
hits and blows it to kingdom come.
83
00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:18,600
And for his
fighting in this unit,
84
00:07:18,700 --> 00:07:23,800
he was awarded the Iron Cross, 2nd
Class for Bravery, Bravery Under Fire.
85
00:07:23,900 --> 00:07:26,300
And he was
promoted to Corporal.
86
00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:28,800
So this is a well
deserved award.
87
00:07:28,900 --> 00:07:30,676
Later, he became a runner,
88
00:07:31,174 --> 00:07:34,366
which meant he moved messages
from the rear to the front,
89
00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:38,600
and it's a very
high mortality job.
90
00:07:38,700 --> 00:07:41,222
And he liked it, he
always liked that job.
91
00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:48,200
Then in December, of 1914, when
you have the famous Christmas truce,
92
00:07:48,300 --> 00:07:51,685
on December the 25th, Hitler
wouldn't leave his trench.
93
00:07:52,400 --> 00:07:56,594
And his comment was, "such a
thing should not happen in War time".
94
00:07:57,100 --> 00:08:02,778
Then he told his buddies that participated,
that they were wrong to get involved.
95
00:08:02,813 --> 00:08:07,497
So no fun, while the war goes
on, those are your enemies.
96
00:08:09,700 --> 00:08:16,193
Now between 1914- 1916, in the final
stages of the Battle Of The Somme,
97
00:08:16,900 --> 00:08:20,600
Adolf Hitler was wounded in
the leg by a shell fragment.
98
00:08:20,700 --> 00:08:22,968
This sent him back to
Germany to recover.
99
00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:27,054
And he's there for
about 5 months.
100
00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:33,799
Hitler could have stayed back in Germany,
on light duty because of his wound,
101
00:08:34,300 --> 00:08:37,000
but demanded to be
sent back to the front.
102
00:08:37,100 --> 00:08:38,503
So this...
he's no shirker.
103
00:08:38,700 --> 00:08:42,992
You've got to give the guy some
due here for not being a chicken.
104
00:08:43,300 --> 00:08:46,245
A lot of people, you know, look
for a way to get out of there.
105
00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:50,293
Then you have Hitler
back again on trench duty,
106
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:54,508
and then he shows up again during
the of course German offensives.
107
00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:56,692
Now, during the
Ludendorff offensives,
108
00:08:57,000 --> 00:09:01,265
he was armed with a pistol and
he captured five French soldiers.
109
00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:05,413
And for that he received
the Iron Cross 1st Class.
110
00:09:05,513 --> 00:09:09,126
You didn't get those at any
time in the war for free.
111
00:09:09,300 --> 00:09:11,165
You can't dismiss
his decorations.
112
00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:16,089
He wins the Iron Cross 2nd
Class in 1914, 1st Class in 1918,
113
00:09:16,189 --> 00:09:20,878
and then in mid October he got
another battle field decoration.
114
00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:25,926
But he's never promoted because he
had a Captain, Captain Fritz Wiedemann,
115
00:09:26,500 --> 00:09:29,358
said he lacked the
capacity for leadership.
116
00:09:30,100 --> 00:09:32,467
You just can't make
these statements.
117
00:09:33,100 --> 00:09:38,606
As the war turned against Germany,
he believed that the pacifists
118
00:09:38,641 --> 00:09:43,609
and the shirkers, which were people trying
to get out of duty, were losing the war.
119
00:09:44,300 --> 00:09:47,500
And the thing that enraged
him even worse is what is
120
00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:49,930
referred to as
"defeatism" in the ranks.
121
00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:56,276
They're actually non-commissioned officers,
who said it was stupid to keep fighting.
122
00:09:56,900 --> 00:09:58,172
He beat one up.
123
00:10:00,100 --> 00:10:02,866
So we have a Corporal beating
up a non-commissioned officer,
124
00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:05,407
and he doesn't get into
trouble for it. He's a fanatic.
125
00:10:07,700 --> 00:10:13,198
The end of the war Hitler was gassed by
the British forces advancing their Ypres
126
00:10:13,700 --> 00:10:15,662
in mid October 1918.
127
00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:19,996
It bloated his face up,
in particular his eyelids.
128
00:10:20,500 --> 00:10:23,006
Constantly watering eyes,
had a hoarse voice.
129
00:10:25,900 --> 00:10:31,966
He then had this terrible pain, he referred
to it "piercing pain in my eye socket".
130
00:10:33,100 --> 00:10:36,374
He hated leaving the
front to go to the hospital.
131
00:10:37,100 --> 00:10:39,978
He considered it the
happiest chapter in his life.
132
00:10:40,400 --> 00:10:43,410
Being there, being something,
being with people,
133
00:10:44,100 --> 00:10:47,413
you know he had friends, and he had
comrades while he was in the war.
134
00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:48,429
He was not a loner.
135
00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:50,835
He had the respect of
his fellow soldiers.
136
00:10:51,300 --> 00:10:52,588
He had purpose.
137
00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:58,664
By early November Hitler's spirits
had come back, and it's very common
138
00:10:59,300 --> 00:11:02,795
for people who had been
gassed to plunge into depression,
139
00:11:03,100 --> 00:11:06,200
because they're concerned about
being blind the rest of their lives.
140
00:11:06,300 --> 00:11:09,278
On November the 9th, this is
two days before the Armistice,
141
00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:14,823
a local Pastor came to the hospital and
told the patients that on November the 8th,
142
00:11:15,100 --> 00:11:19,173
that the Kaiser had abdicated,
and Germany was now a Republic.
143
00:11:19,900 --> 00:11:22,133
And he told them
that the war was lost.
144
00:11:24,500 --> 00:11:27,877
Defeat was followed by a
humiliating peace at Versailles.
145
00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:33,261
The injustice of Versailles rankled with
most Germans for the next 20 years.
146
00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:36,929
Unable to accept that the
German army had lost the war,
147
00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:40,564
Hitler convinced himself that the
soldiers had been stabbed in the back
148
00:11:40,900 --> 00:11:44,100
by Communist revolutionaries
and parliamentary Politicians.
149
00:11:45,400 --> 00:11:49,573
The stab in the back he believed was
part of a great Jewish conspiracy.
150
00:11:51,300 --> 00:11:54,055
Suddenly Hitler discovered the greatest
talent he possessed,
151
00:11:54,583 --> 00:11:56,007
the gift of public speaking.
152
00:12:02,799 --> 00:12:05,924
He joined the small group of
fanatical Nationalists in Munich.
153
00:12:06,300 --> 00:12:10,465
They became the National Socialist
German Workers Party, or Nazis.
154
00:12:10,700 --> 00:12:13,761
In 1921, Hitler
became their leader.
155
00:12:16,301 --> 00:12:17,895
Munich 1921
156
00:12:23,614 --> 00:12:25,790
The word "Nazi" was used by the Allies
as a derogaory term,
157
00:12:26,334 --> 00:12:28,196
popularised by the international media
for propaganda purposes.
158
00:12:29,402 --> 00:12:31,746
After World War One, Germany was
in serious danger of a Communist takeover,
159
00:12:32,190 --> 00:12:33,834
with 6 million German Communist Party
members in the country.
160
00:12:35,089 --> 00:12:36,907
Adolf Hitler was only the 55th member
of the NSDAP, and although membership
161
00:12:37,256 --> 00:12:38,744
rapidly grew under his leadership,
the early meetings
162
00:12:39,163 --> 00:12:40,884
were often held under
threats of violence.
163
00:12:41,788 --> 00:12:43,744
Vastly outnumbered, the National
Sociolist would often find
164
00:12:44,216 --> 00:12:46,232
their meetings infiltrated, where
brawls would inevitably break out.
165
00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:54,700
The first film of the apprentice
Führer campaigning
166
00:12:54,800 --> 00:12:57,200
shows him as still a
rather awkward figure.
167
00:12:57,300 --> 00:13:00,000
Not yet certain of his roll
as Germany's Messiah.
168
00:13:00,100 --> 00:13:05,000
In 1923, Hitler felt strong enough
to try and seize power in Munich.
169
00:13:05,100 --> 00:13:10,000
Emil Klein, the only stormtrooper
still alive who marched with Hitler,
170
00:13:10,100 --> 00:13:12,200
now retraces their steps.
171
00:13:13,500 --> 00:13:14,700
Everything went well
172
00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:19,338
until the marchers found armed Police
blocking their exit from a narrow street.
173
00:13:23,265 --> 00:13:29,300
"We were still singing as
we marched down the street.
174
00:13:29,800 --> 00:13:33,200
Suddenly, we heard shots
being fired all around us.
175
00:13:33,900 --> 00:13:35,507
Procession started.
176
00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:40,200
We were speechless, we
couldn't explain what had happened,
177
00:13:40,700 --> 00:13:46,400
until word came from the front of
the march saying Hitler was dead.
178
00:13:49,400 --> 00:13:51,800
I saw men with
tears in their eyes,
179
00:13:52,200 --> 00:13:54,294
and I myself was very moved to,
180
00:13:55,261 --> 00:13:57,429
and had great difficulty keeping
myself under control.
181
00:13:58,200 --> 00:14:01,100
Though Hitler in fact
survived the hail of bullets,
182
00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:04,600
he was arrested and locked
in a cell in Landsberg prison.
183
00:14:04,800 --> 00:14:07,085
At first he was so depressed,
he refused to eat.
184
00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:09,600
Then his confidence returned,
185
00:14:09,700 --> 00:14:13,069
as he discovered that the failed
uprising had made him a local hero.
186
00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:16,542
At the trial Hitler
rounded on his accusers.
187
00:14:17,100 --> 00:14:19,401
He told the Judges, who
gave him a prison sentence,
188
00:14:19,900 --> 00:14:23,218
"history will tear to tatters
the verdict of this court!"
189
00:14:28,800 --> 00:14:32,227
You have been accused of 'High Treason'
and called 'An Enemy Of The State'!
190
00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:34,132
"If I am guilty of anything,
191
00:14:35,800 --> 00:14:39,817
then I am guilty of fighting to defend
the rights to the German people."
192
00:14:42,400 --> 00:14:46,148
Herr Hitler, the court
finds you Guilty of Treason.
193
00:14:48,300 --> 00:14:52,667
You are hereby sentenced
to a fine of 200 Gold Marks,
194
00:14:53,900 --> 00:14:57,244
and 5 years in Landsberg prison.
195
00:14:59,300 --> 00:15:04,998
You will... you will be eligible
for parole in 9 months.
196
00:15:05,098 --> 00:15:10,797
Adolf Hitler will serve next
12 moths in Landsberg prison
197
00:15:17,042 --> 00:15:18,278
To be continued
198
00:15:21,104 --> 00:15:23,074
Part 2
Adolf Hitler - The Gretest Story NEVER Told!
199
00:15:26,154 --> 00:15:28,165
After the propaganda
triumph at his trial,
200
00:15:28,223 --> 00:15:31,181
Hitler set out to write the
Bible of National Socialism.
201
00:15:31,397 --> 00:15:35,933
He dictated much of the text here in his
cell to his faithful follower, Rudolph Hoess.
202
00:15:36,485 --> 00:15:38,877
On Saturday evenings, the
other prisoners sat around
203
00:15:39,287 --> 00:15:42,796
as Hitler read out the
completed chapters to them.
204
00:15:42,911 --> 00:15:46,782
The book as a whole, dwells on the great
obsessions which had come to dominate
205
00:15:47,220 --> 00:15:51,621
Hitler's political thought; the Jews, racism,
living space for the German people,
206
00:15:52,172 --> 00:15:54,605
the evils of communism and
parliamentary democracy.
207
00:15:55,469 --> 00:15:58,086
But it also includes
Hitler's views on a variety
208
00:15:58,535 --> 00:16:01,902
of other topics ranging
from boxing to syphilis.
209
00:16:02,303 --> 00:16:03,814
Mein kampf
210
00:16:04,855 --> 00:16:06,493
Mein Kampf will become one of the
best-selling books of al time,
211
00:16:06,917 --> 00:16:08,619
despite being banned in many
countriesfter the war.
212
00:16:13,382 --> 00:16:16,231
The amasing apeal, Hitler was
lated to exercise
213
00:16:16,879 --> 00:16:19,145
but he is mastering a spoken word.
214
00:16:19,499 --> 00:16:22,842
After prison, the Leader, or Führer
as he now called himself,
215
00:16:23,427 --> 00:16:25,056
had a new political strategy.
216
00:16:25,500 --> 00:16:29,587
Instead of planning another coup,
he aimed to win power at the polls.
217
00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:33,195
What was to win him millions of votes,
was instead,
218
00:16:33,557 --> 00:16:35,526
his vision of a great national revival.
219
00:16:39,202 --> 00:16:42,951
Hitler's election opportunity came
with the onset of the depression.
220
00:16:43,402 --> 00:16:46,761
In a few years, 1 in 3 of the
labor force was out of work.
221
00:16:46,903 --> 00:16:50,286
Ilsa Vemple, was a church social
worker during the depression
222
00:16:50,303 --> 00:16:52,907
among the unemployed
in the Berlin slums.
223
00:16:52,942 --> 00:16:58,211
"The despair was so
terrible as I can't describe it.
224
00:16:58,304 --> 00:17:02,834
You had everywhere beggars, wherever
you went in Berlin, you had beggars."
225
00:17:03,205 --> 00:17:06,234
The democratic political
parties offered no solution.
226
00:17:06,605 --> 00:17:10,052
To millions of Germans, the
only hope was Adolf Hitler.
227
00:17:12,306 --> 00:17:14,252
Have you been to
the marketplace?
228
00:17:15,707 --> 00:17:18,375
Do you know how much it costs
for a loaf of bread these days?
229
00:17:19,007 --> 00:17:20,951
$500.000 marks.
230
00:17:21,407 --> 00:17:23,095
$500.000 marks!
231
00:17:23,130 --> 00:17:25,597
The wheelbarrows aren't big
enough to carry the money in!
232
00:17:29,408 --> 00:17:31,628
He's afraid I'll stir things up.
233
00:17:33,209 --> 00:17:37,860
You tell Commissar Kahr,
this is not a time for silence.
234
00:17:38,409 --> 00:17:41,591
"I supported Hitler because he,
235
00:17:42,340 --> 00:17:46,204
after having seen all that depravity,
all that poverty here,
236
00:17:46,411 --> 00:17:50,861
was the only one who could do
social justice to the people here."
237
00:17:51,812 --> 00:17:55,612
"He had that ability,
238
00:17:55,712 --> 00:18:04,038
the ability derived from his
readiness to throw himself totally open
239
00:18:04,313 --> 00:18:10,567
to... to appear as it were,
bare & naked before his audience,
240
00:18:11,215 --> 00:18:13,982
to tear open his heart
241
00:18:14,017 --> 00:18:20,013
and display it, to throw
on a few extra generators
242
00:18:20,015 --> 00:18:23,901
and suddenly become
absolutely charged with energy."
243
00:18:24,769 --> 00:18:26,821
Presidential Elections
26 April 1925
244
00:18:33,957 --> 00:18:35,703
Reichstag, Berlin
Nazi Party: 3 seats
245
00:18:35,738 --> 00:18:36,870
April 1925
246
00:18:40,311 --> 00:18:41,863
Election Campaign
247
00:18:52,796 --> 00:18:54,262
Reichstag Election
Nazi Party: 107 seats
248
00:18:54,624 --> 00:18:45,519
14 September 1930
249
00:18:45,619 --> 00:18:49,119
it's as though the emotions
came direct without words almost.
250
00:18:49,219 --> 00:18:52,220
There was a rawness
about Hitler's power.
251
00:18:59,722 --> 00:19:03,022
Six and a half Million
votes. 107 seats.
252
00:19:03,122 --> 00:19:04,745
The biggest party
in the Reichstag.
253
00:19:05,322 --> 00:19:06,775
Get me Hitler.
254
00:19:09,502 --> 00:19:11,692
Reich Chancellary, Berlin
30 September 1933
255
00:19:27,226 --> 00:19:31,326
Nobody has ever had this
power to move audiences so easily.
256
00:19:31,426 --> 00:19:34,026
What he says...
it's the way he says it!
257
00:19:39,927 --> 00:19:44,728
Hitler comes to power, not as he had
hoped through outright victory at the polls,
258
00:19:44,828 --> 00:19:46,728
but as head of a
coalition government.
259
00:19:46,828 --> 00:19:51,829
As this withering glance suggests,
Hitler despises his coalition partners.
260
00:19:51,929 --> 00:19:56,830
He quickly out maneuvers them,
and establishes his own dictatorship.
261
00:19:58,129 --> 00:20:00,330
A month after he
comes to power,
262
00:20:00,430 --> 00:20:04,031
the Reichstag building, the parliament
building, in Berlin is set on fire.
263
00:20:04,131 --> 00:20:09,081
This happens to come at the time when
he is constantly insisting that there is a
264
00:20:09,181 --> 00:20:14,131
communist plot to overthrow the new
government, and to scary out a revolution.
265
00:20:14,231 --> 00:20:17,832
And the Reichstag fire goes up
in flames which everybody can see.
266
00:20:18,032 --> 00:20:23,433
Before that night was over, he
had got a set of decrees drawn up,
267
00:20:23,533 --> 00:20:25,633
which transformed
the situation politically.
268
00:20:25,733 --> 00:20:29,334
All the guarantees, in which
people in any democratic state,
269
00:20:29,434 --> 00:20:34,235
the freedom of speech and so on, freedom
from arrest, all of this is swept away.
270
00:20:44,609 --> 00:20:45,994
In the 1920s, Berlin was known as
the center of sexual perversion,
271
00:20:46,511 --> 00:20:47,755
drugs and depravity.
272
00:20:48,219 --> 00:20:49,826
Once in power Hitler ordered the sity
ceansed of these elements.
273
00:20:50,270 --> 00:20:53,377
Obscene books, pornography and Communist
literature were all burned by the National Socialist.
274
00:20:56,666 --> 00:20:58,825
The clampdown will fore Jews,
promiscuous liberals and gays such as
275
00:20:59,265 --> 00:21:01,737
Marlene Dietrich - a known bisexual -
to leave for the US.
276
00:21:13,480 --> 00:21:14,185
1933 BERLIN
277
00:21:14,641 --> 00:21:15,600
The burning of pornography
and Communist literature
278
00:21:15,635 --> 00:21:18,346
A majority of Germans tolerate
the burning of books,
279
00:21:18,776 --> 00:21:20,335
the banning of other political parties,
280
00:21:20,902 --> 00:21:22,293
and the setting up of a police state,
281
00:21:22,895 --> 00:21:25,206
because Hitler offers a way out
of the depression.
282
00:21:26,842 --> 00:21:30,243
If he's doing things which are
not so good, which happened,
283
00:21:30,343 --> 00:21:34,443
then we said, "well, you have to
take the rough with the smooth."
284
00:21:34,543 --> 00:21:38,544
Dictatorship seemed to be the
only way to get out of the mess,
285
00:21:38,644 --> 00:21:44,745
and so, I thought that was a good thing that
they cut away all this nonsense and rather
286
00:21:44,845 --> 00:21:49,925
did something, really did
something, and that's what Hitler did.
287
00:21:51,645 --> 00:21:58,047
He eliminated the crushing
unemployment that Germany suffered.
288
00:21:58,447 --> 00:22:04,948
And he gave millions of people
new confidence, and indeed, welfare.
289
00:22:05,048 --> 00:22:09,048
They were doing
better; much better.
290
00:22:19,322 --> 00:22:21,706
When Hitler assumed power in 1933,
there were 7 million unemployed Germans,
291
00:22:22,336 --> 00:22:24,779
the highest per capita unemployment
rate in Europe, at the time.
292
00:22:25,923 --> 00:22:29,669
In only is first year in office, an unprecedented
3.374.000 were helped back to work.
293
00:22:30,723 --> 00:22:32,579
Hitler's brilliant and innovative ideas
included building motorways
294
00:22:35,192 --> 00:22:36,636
the lenght and breadth of the country,
with housing units provided for workers.
295
00:22:37,203 --> 00:22:39,337
The worker's familes would then eagerly
spend the newly earned wages,
296
00:22:39,338 --> 00:22:41,307
contributing to a fast-growing
economy.
297
00:22:42,835 --> 00:22:45,498
Priority was given to the health and fitness
of the nation, especialy for the youth.
298
00:22:46,242 --> 00:22:49,072
Free healthcare and generous financial
support were provided for expectant mothers.
299
00:22:49,605 --> 00:22:51,828
The world's first anti-smoking campaigns
are also introduced.
300
00:22:53,123 --> 00:22:55,780
In addition, it was now government policy
to protect the environment and wildlife.
301
00:23:09,631 --> 00:23:12,022
Crime was virtually eliminated, with city
streets made safe to walk again.
302
00:23:12,587 --> 00:23:14,760
Workers, subsidised by the government,
would take holidays abroad.
303
00:23:15,445 --> 00:23:17,229
Hitler is the first in Europe to
introduce the 40-hour work week,
304
00:23:17,772 --> 00:23:18,971
with extra pay for overtime.
305
00:23:19,451 --> 00:23:22,268
Factories are now required to provide
workers with restrooms and a cafeteria.
306
00:23:23,076 --> 00:23:25,671
The NSDAP leadership looked upon
the charging of interest on loans as immoral,
307
00:23:26,143 --> 00:23:27,948
and by forsing banks to abolish
the practice of usury,
308
00:23:28,388 --> 00:23:30,164
millions were freed from slavery
of debt.
309
00:23:31,642 --> 00:23:33,674
It was a spectacular financial recovery
not witnessed before or since,
310
00:23:34,257 --> 00:23:36,394
and often reffered to as the
greatest economic miracle of all time.
311
00:23:37,553 --> 00:23:40,322
Meanwhile, most Western countries were
still mired in the Great Depression.
312
00:23:53,199 --> 00:23:55,808
THE NUREMBERG RALLIES
The annual celebration of Nacional Socialism
313
00:24:01,264 --> 00:24:03,517
They came in the tens of thousands,
314
00:24:04,042 --> 00:24:06,638
full of youthful idealism to worship
the Führer,
315
00:24:06,865 --> 00:24:09,232
the awesome surroundings
of the Nuremberg stadium.
316
00:24:09,465 --> 00:24:11,562
Among the worshipers in the
Hitler Youth
317
00:24:12,021 --> 00:24:14,974
was Alfons Heck, now a writer
of the Nazi period.
318
00:24:22,267 --> 00:24:26,268
The decisive turning point in my
life occurred at the age of ten.
319
00:24:26,368 --> 00:24:30,395
From that moment on, I would
remain beholden to Adolf Hitler,
320
00:24:30,768 --> 00:24:33,547
long until after our defeat.
321
00:24:33,969 --> 00:24:39,473
I was one of 82.000 members of the
Hitler Youth lined up in Zeppelin's Field.
322
00:24:39,669 --> 00:24:40,864
I stood in the first row.
323
00:24:42,069 --> 00:24:43,662
And when Hitler began to speak,
324
00:24:43,970 --> 00:24:48,325
we were just tingling with nervousness,
filing to see our God.
325
00:24:48,670 --> 00:24:51,371
Then he appeared
on the podium.
326
00:24:51,471 --> 00:24:53,271
I was afraid to
look at my neighbor,
327
00:24:53,371 --> 00:24:56,471
because I didn't want him
to see the tears in my eyes,
328
00:24:56,571 --> 00:24:57,872
my knees were shaking.
329
00:24:58,372 --> 00:25:00,174
Then Hitler beamed down on us,
330
00:25:01,340 --> 00:25:03,396
he calmed us down by lifting
his hands,
331
00:25:03,472 --> 00:25:04,996
both hands several times.
332
00:25:05,673 --> 00:25:09,474
When he began to speak it was
in a very conversational tone,
333
00:25:09,574 --> 00:25:12,374
man to boy, father to son.
334
00:25:31,376 --> 00:25:35,977
Then he said how fortunate
we were to live in this new age.
335
00:25:36,178 --> 00:25:38,365
And he said from now on you,
336
00:25:39,506 --> 00:25:43,167
no longer have to fear any class
distinction, you're all one.
337
00:25:43,579 --> 00:25:47,879
But the essence, and the emphasis
occurred in the final sentences.
338
00:25:47,979 --> 00:25:49,212
He leaned over the podium,
339
00:25:50,313 --> 00:25:52,424
and I know he looked straight
into my eyes.
340
00:25:52,880 --> 00:26:00,343
And he said, "You, my boys, the
young of Germany,
341
00:26:01,767 --> 00:26:03,352
live in a fortunate time,
342
00:26:03,781 --> 00:26:08,177
because you are the standard
bearers of the movement.
343
00:26:08,582 --> 00:26:14,095
You will inherit what we
have so far created."
344
00:26:14,283 --> 00:26:17,110
And from that moment on,
without any doubt,
345
00:26:17,838 --> 00:26:19,293
I was bound to Adolf Hitler.
346
00:26:20,084 --> 00:26:22,683
Long until after our defeat.
347
00:26:23,583 --> 00:26:25,113
Before us lies Germany
348
00:26:25,442 --> 00:26:29,390
within us Germany is stirring
349
00:26:29,963 --> 00:26:31,818
behind us all Germany is following!
350
00:26:50,288 --> 00:26:54,188
The mid 1930s were the
halcyon years of Hitler's Germany.
351
00:26:54,288 --> 00:26:59,389
Germany was at peace, her prosperity
restored, her national pride recovered.
352
00:26:59,489 --> 00:27:02,618
To those prepared to ignore or justify,
the police state,
353
00:27:03,258 --> 00:27:04,771
it seemed a beautiful Germany.
354
00:27:06,191 --> 00:27:08,518
A host of distinguished foreign visitors,
355
00:27:09,089 --> 00:27:11,314
many with impeccable democratic
credentials,
356
00:27:11,791 --> 00:27:15,336
came to call on the Führer at
his mountain retreat, the Berghof.
357
00:27:15,992 --> 00:27:20,992
Among them, was the former British
Prime Minister, David Lloyd George.
358
00:27:21,192 --> 00:27:24,525
With LG, was his
secretary Albert Sylvester.
359
00:27:24,891 --> 00:27:25,682
BERCHTESGADEN
4t SEPTEMBER 1936
360
00:27:25,693 --> 00:27:29,093
Hitler run down
the flight of stairs
361
00:27:29,193 --> 00:27:32,594
to welcome LG as
he got out of his car.
362
00:27:32,694 --> 00:27:35,454
Shook hands with him most warmly,
363
00:27:35,836 --> 00:27:39,315
and conducted us into the inside
of the Berghof.
364
00:27:39,894 --> 00:27:44,596
This massive room, the
only light of which came
365
00:27:44,696 --> 00:27:49,140
from a massive window, which was
terrific, I'd never seen such a window.
366
00:27:50,596 --> 00:27:54,548
Lloyd George said, "You have
done great things for Germany.
367
00:27:55,297 --> 00:27:57,159
You have restored her honor,
368
00:27:58,020 --> 00:28:01,532
and you have gained for her
equal rights."
369
00:28:03,001 --> 00:28:05,016
To be continued
370
00:28:17,989 --> 00:28:20,824
Part 3
Adolf Hitler - The Greatest Story NEVER Told
371
00:28:34,258 --> 00:28:37,084
I've met a few.
Arm chair Politicians.
372
00:28:37,669 --> 00:28:39,865
Care more about their money,
than they do their own country.
373
00:28:40,210 --> 00:28:42,027
Yes, but surely as your
Parties propaganda leader,
374
00:28:42,340 --> 00:28:44,213
you must know, that in
order to defend their money
375
00:28:44,564 --> 00:28:45,836
they'll spend it.
A good deal of it.
376
00:28:46,367 --> 00:28:48,419
That is if someone they trust
tells them that it is a safe bet.
377
00:28:48,992 --> 00:28:49,860
That's where I come in.
378
00:28:50,965 --> 00:28:54,965
Herr Hitler, I can make you very popular.
Far more popular than him.
379
00:28:55,417 --> 00:29:03,327
But you have to admit,
the color catches the eye.
380
00:29:06,882 --> 00:29:08,803
Unlike the Soviets with their hammer
and sickle, the Nacional Socialist
381
00:29:09,283 --> 00:29:10,691
had no such flag or amblem.
382
00:29:11,283 --> 00:29:13,083
Hitler not only wanted a simbol to
represent the NSDPA,
383
00:29:13,548 --> 00:29:15,450
but one powerful enough
to strikefear into the Communists.
384
00:29:16,093 --> 00:29:18,211
The once failed art student would
now set about to design
385
00:29:18,660 --> 00:29:20,393
the most recognised flag
in history.
386
00:30:09,810 --> 00:30:12,013
After 1945, the NSDAP flag will be
banned and portrayed by the
387
00:30:12,531 --> 00:30:13,875
media as a symbol of hate.
388
00:30:14,843 --> 00:30:16,347
It also be hijacked by extreme
political group,
389
00:30:16,889 --> 00:30:19,005
and others such as motocycle gangs,
who have no concept
390
00:30:19,509 --> 00:30:21,308
of its oriinal anti-Communist design.
391
00:30:31,043 --> 00:30:33,603
THE BLUTFAHNE SWASTIKA
392
00:30:34,305 --> 00:30:36,603
The Blutfahne displayed at the attempted
Beer Hall Putsch in Munich in 1923
393
00:30:37,092 --> 00:30:38,836
ended up covered in the blood
of National Socialist members
394
00:30:39,238 --> 00:30:40,989
either wounded or killed
by munich police.
395
00:30:41,621 --> 00:30:44,429
It was thereafter treated as a sacred object,
used at the Nuremberg Rallies
396
00:30:44,893 --> 00:30:47,205
by Adolf Hitler to "sanctify" new flags.
397
00:30:48,120 --> 00:30:50,559
This most treasured of all NSDAP artefacts
was last seen on 18 October 1944.
398
00:30:51,089 --> 00:30:53,426
To this day its whereabouts
remain unkown.
399
00:31:13,340 --> 00:31:15,788
On the morning of the
12th of March 1938,
400
00:31:15,823 --> 00:31:19,118
German soldiers crossed the
border into neighboring Austria.
401
00:31:19,218 --> 00:31:22,379
They were greeted not with bullets
and guns,
402
00:31:23,043 --> 00:31:25,117
but with roses and carnations.
403
00:31:31,416 --> 00:31:35,498
So much so, that the action became
known as the "Blumenkrieg",
404
00:31:36,187 --> 00:31:37,576
the "War of Flowers".
405
00:31:39,714 --> 00:31:41,314
Most of the Austrian people,
406
00:31:41,414 --> 00:31:45,613
envying what they saw as the
economic success and prestige,
407
00:31:45,713 --> 00:31:46,991
that Hitler had brought to Germany,
408
00:31:47,878 --> 00:31:50,254
now welcomed their German
neighbors.
409
00:31:51,312 --> 00:31:53,854
One People, One Reich,
One Leader.
410
00:31:58,910 --> 00:32:03,909
In a demonstration of how central he
was personally to this whole system,
411
00:32:04,009 --> 00:32:07,357
Hitler traveled across
Austria on a campaign tour.
412
00:32:20,123 --> 00:32:25,849
In the future I want to be nothing other
than what I have been in the past:
413
00:32:26,519 --> 00:32:32,262
alerter of my people, teacher of my people,
and the Führer of my people.
414
00:32:40,029 --> 00:32:41,914
As German troops cross the border
of Austria,
415
00:32:42,442 --> 00:32:44,482
Austrian troops simultaneously enter
the German cities of Munich,
416
00:32:44,858 --> 00:32:46,613
Dresden and Berlin, a sign to the
rest of world
417
00:32:47,098 --> 00:32:48,690
of a peaceful reunification.
418
00:32:49,503 --> 00:32:51,245
An overhelming 99,7% of Austrian
citizens
419
00:32:51,691 --> 00:32:54,300
will deocratically vote to
reunite with Germany.
420
00:33:01,394 --> 00:33:02,306
... and this people...
421
00:33:03,537 --> 00:33:05,670
... do not come to the Reich...
422
00:33:07,327 --> 00:33:08,603
... with hat in hand.
423
00:33:11,292 --> 00:33:12,481
I myself...
424
00:33:14,617 --> 00:33:15,997
... bring you home!
425
00:33:20,093 --> 00:33:22,993
I think the thing...
some period
426
00:33:23,093 --> 00:33:27,892
around the end of '37- '38,
Hitler feels well this is fine,
427
00:33:27,992 --> 00:33:29,591
but I didn't come to power
428
00:33:29,691 --> 00:33:33,291
just to restore German self
confidence and solve this more,
429
00:33:33,391 --> 00:33:35,090
he changed his gear I think.
430
00:33:35,190 --> 00:33:39,243
And then getting rid of a number
of the old guard, and the army,
431
00:33:39,343 --> 00:33:43,397
and the foreign office, and so on.
And he becomes more aggressive.
432
00:33:45,688 --> 00:33:51,687
It was the 12th of March 1938.
Austria was showered with Swastika's.
433
00:33:52,087 --> 00:33:55,686
He crossed the border near
his birth place at Braunau.
434
00:33:55,786 --> 00:33:57,686
People rejoiced him, the "Anschluss",
435
00:33:57,786 --> 00:34:01,685
which they saw as the fulfillment of
an old dream of the German nation.
436
00:34:01,785 --> 00:34:04,205
An emphatic display
of self determination.
437
00:34:04,984 --> 00:34:08,083
A right denied to the German
people of the Versailles Treaty,
438
00:34:08,183 --> 00:34:10,653
whose terms were
generally considered unjust.
439
00:34:11,383 --> 00:34:14,082
Visibly moved he entered Vienna.
440
00:34:14,182 --> 00:34:19,181
The city that had seen his early
failures, now gave him a hero's reception.
441
00:34:19,281 --> 00:34:21,081
Homage was being
paid to the man
442
00:34:21,181 --> 00:34:24,680
who had achieved the
unification of the German people.
443
00:34:49,275 --> 00:34:53,374
The welcome here was
the most tumultuous yet.
444
00:35:19,629 --> 00:35:20,862
Heil Adolf Hitler!
445
00:35:32,765 --> 00:35:34,397
While in Leonding, Hitler visits the grave
of his parents
446
00:35:34,752 --> 00:35:36,512
situated across the street from
his childhood home.
447
00:36:09,168 --> 00:36:10,917
THE BERGHOF - THE BAVARIAN ALPS
448
00:36:12,258 --> 00:36:14,975
It was here, far from the millions
of his followers,
449
00:36:15,584 --> 00:36:17,639
that Hitler felt most able to relax.
450
00:36:18,156 --> 00:36:19,687
The inner circle
at the "Berghof",
451
00:36:20,356 --> 00:36:24,047
saw a quite different man from the
charismatic Führer of the party rallies.
452
00:36:34,653 --> 00:36:38,802
Life at Hitler's retreat, was
both reassuring and agreeable.
453
00:36:38,902 --> 00:36:43,051
And their was an entertaining
side to the off duty Führer
454
00:36:43,151 --> 00:36:46,151
as Ribbentrop's private
secretary discovered.
455
00:36:46,351 --> 00:36:53,449
"I was overwhelmed by the possibility
to meet the Führer personally.
456
00:36:53,549 --> 00:37:00,648
And for instance, for the beginning,
he was a sort of a Messiah for me.
457
00:37:00,748 --> 00:37:05,247
He was a man
who liked to joke.
458
00:37:05,347 --> 00:37:11,445
He could laugh a lot. He
didn't accept two sort of jokes.
459
00:37:11,545 --> 00:37:15,344
Dirty jokes and political
jokes, they were bad.
460
00:37:15,444 --> 00:37:19,144
But all the other jokes
he enjoyed terribly."
461
00:37:19,244 --> 00:37:23,443
Hitler had no close friends in whom
to confide his inner most feelings.
462
00:37:23,543 --> 00:37:26,242
He could never admit
human weakness to anyone.
463
00:37:26,442 --> 00:37:30,141
But the inner circle discovered
one secret of his private life,
464
00:37:30,241 --> 00:37:32,759
which was unknown
to ordinary Germans.
465
00:37:32,841 --> 00:37:38,230
"When Hitler was talking for hours and
I was standing near to the wall, waiting,
466
00:37:38,940 --> 00:37:41,271
until they want some
papers or something?
467
00:37:42,339 --> 00:37:44,938
And the curtain opened,
468
00:37:45,038 --> 00:37:52,837
Eva Braun appeared and says,
"Adolf, we must to have lunch now."
469
00:38:44,126 --> 00:38:49,625
And she didn't bother him
with political questions.
470
00:38:49,725 --> 00:38:53,224
And he didn't want
to give her influence.
471
00:38:53,324 --> 00:38:57,423
And he thought that as
long as he is a bachelor,
472
00:38:57,523 --> 00:39:01,021
he has the love of
the German women.
473
00:39:01,121 --> 00:39:02,822
Because if he's married,
474
00:39:02,922 --> 00:39:06,291
the impression is not the
same on the other women.
475
00:39:07,121 --> 00:39:10,920
And she gave him a little bit...
476
00:39:11,620 --> 00:39:15,234
a home of bourgeois,
477
00:39:15,698 --> 00:39:21,890
a quality with tea, with cake,
and I think with sex."
478
00:39:22,518 --> 00:39:25,217
You think it was a
sexual relationship?
479
00:39:25,317 --> 00:39:26,338
"Certainly."
480
00:39:55,926 --> 00:39:58,839
In 1919. the Allies at Versailles formed
a new country called Czechosovakia.
481
00:39:59,518 --> 00:40:00,746
The population will now consists of...
482
00:40:01,339 --> 00:40:02,946
6.7 million Czechs
3.1 million Germans
483
00:40:03,443 --> 00:40:04,715
2.0 million Slovacs
700.000 Hungarians
484
00:40:05,131 --> 00:40:06,343
460.000 Ukrainians
485
00:40:18,773 --> 00:40:21,180
With Czech violence against ethnic
German minorities on the rise,
486
00:40:21,803 --> 00:40:24,841
Sudeten Germans are forced to call
for the reunification with Germany.
487
00:40:55,559 --> 00:40:58,242
Czech President Edvard Benes will
instead order martial law
488
00:40:58,684 --> 00:41:00,957
imposed on the Sudeten provinces,
forcing a furious Adolf Hitler
489
00:41:01,430 --> 00:41:03,021
to demand their return.
490
00:41:31,637 --> 00:41:33,181
26 Sept 1936
491
00:41:39,123 --> 00:41:43,275
I have put an offer to Herr Benes...
492
00:41:43,900 --> 00:41:48,733
an offer that is nothing other
than reaisation of his promises.
493
00:41:49,406 --> 00:41:52,897
The decision is his now!
Be it war or peace?
494
00:41:54,456 --> 00:41:56,481
He can either accept my offer
and give the Germans their freedom,
495
00:41:56,977 --> 00:42:02,079
or we Germans will go get
it ourselves!
496
00:42:08,335 --> 00:42:13,436
4 POWER CONFERENCE CALLED BY
HITLER; AVERTS CZECH INVASION
497
00:42:14,876 --> 00:42:19,139
28 Sept 1938, British Prime Minister
Neville Chamberlain departs for Germany
498
00:42:25,635 --> 00:42:27,457
The Munich Peace Conference
499
00:42:34,298 --> 00:42:35,834
"IT IS PEACE WITH HONOUR"
SAYS CHAMBERLAIN
500
00:42:35,869 --> 00:42:38,678
A wave of relief and gratitude
for the Führer swept Germany.
501
00:42:39,349 --> 00:42:42,577
His iron nerve had freed the Germans
in Czechoslovakia,
502
00:42:43,136 --> 00:42:44,735
and yet averted war.
503
00:42:47,714 --> 00:42:49,905
You secured us victory...
504
00:42:50,902 --> 00:42:54,876
now you secure us peace.
505
00:42:55,514 --> 00:42:58,326
Heil Hitler! Sieg heil!
506
00:42:59,735 --> 00:43:01,102
Sieg heil!
507
00:43:16,016 --> 00:43:17,639
To be continued
508
00:43:21,577 --> 00:43:24,749
Part 4
Adolf Hitler - The Gretest Story NEVER Told!
509
00:43:27,050 --> 00:43:27,927
The US state department
510
00:43:28,303 --> 00:43:32,988
in its 3-volume report on the origins of
Communism in Russia, published in 1931,
511
00:43:33,748 --> 00:43:37,907
reveals how Jewish controlled German
banks under the leadership of Max Warburg
512
00:43:38,345 --> 00:43:43,097
conspired as early as 1914 to send
large payments to Lenin, Trotsky,
513
00:43:43,490 --> 00:43:46,333
and others in their attempts
to bring down the Tsar.
514
00:43:46,740 --> 00:43:48,212
When the White Russian patriots
515
00:43:48,680 --> 00:43:51,320
heroically attempted to regain
their freedom from the Jews,
516
00:43:52,199 --> 00:43:57,167
the Judaica says compact Jewish
masses were utilized by the Bolsheviks
517
00:43:57,384 --> 00:43:59,258
to suppress such counter revolution.
518
00:44:00,289 --> 00:44:03,665
Clearly Jews & native Russians
were engaged in a death struggle
519
00:44:04,046 --> 00:44:05,338
over the destiny of Russia.
520
00:44:07,055 --> 00:44:11,631
Unfortunately, the Jewish masses won...
the Jewish masses won... the Jewish...
521
00:44:14,765 --> 00:44:17,550
"We will survive",
that's what they tell us.
522
00:44:18,451 --> 00:44:21,342
What they mean is,
"THEY will survive!"
523
00:44:22,323 --> 00:44:23,637
We surrendered in November,
524
00:44:24,117 --> 00:44:26,966
at a time when we were perched
on the edge of victory,
525
00:44:27,763 --> 00:44:31,387
betrayed by the cowards
and the traitors within our ranks.
526
00:44:34,064 --> 00:44:35,485
"Lousy Communist pigs!"
527
00:44:36,678 --> 00:44:37,734
How do we fight them?
528
00:44:38,431 --> 00:44:41,920
We unite! We must join together,
for a greater Germany!
529
00:44:43,086 --> 00:44:46,149
We will hang the profiteers,
crush the Communists,
530
00:44:46,614 --> 00:44:50,083
we will disinfect our country
of the Jewish vermin!
531
00:44:51,657 --> 00:44:53,681
We will sacrifice,
we will struggle yes,
532
00:44:54,496 --> 00:44:58,201
but only then will we triumph.
And we will triumph!
533
00:44:59,608 --> 00:45:05,120
We will triumph! We will triumph!
We will triumph! We will triumph!
534
00:45:05,753 --> 00:45:08,834
We will triumph!
We will triumph...
535
00:45:11,653 --> 00:45:14,027
What exactly was the "great stab
in the back"
536
00:45:14,691 --> 00:45:16,364
that Hitler had always talked about?
537
00:45:24,768 --> 00:45:26,266
In 1961, former Zionist Benjamin Freedman
gave a speech
538
00:45:26,800 --> 00:45:28,257
at the Willard Hotel in Washington, D.C.
539
00:45:28,728 --> 00:45:30,534
on the World War One betrayal
of the German people.
540
00:45:33,727 --> 00:45:34,432
WORLD WAR ONE
541
00:45:34,752 --> 00:45:38,887
1914 was the year in which
World War I broke out.
542
00:45:39,556 --> 00:45:44,001
Within two years,
Germany had won that war.
543
00:45:44,677 --> 00:45:47,949
The German submarines,
which were a surprise to the world,
544
00:45:48,476 --> 00:45:52,044
had swept all the convoys
from the Atlantic Ocean,
545
00:45:52,709 --> 00:45:56,892
and Great Britain stood there
without ammunition for her soldiers,
546
00:45:57,533 --> 00:46:03,021
stood there with one week's food
supply and after that, starvation.
547
00:46:03,689 --> 00:46:06,352
At that time the French
army had mutinied;
548
00:46:06,942 --> 00:46:11,052
they lost 600.000 of the
flower of the French youth.
549
00:46:11,604 --> 00:46:15,719
The Russian army was defecting;
they didn't like the Tsar,
550
00:46:15,877 --> 00:46:18,025
and the Italian Army had collapsed.
551
00:46:18,425 --> 00:46:22,264
Not a shot had been fired
on the German soil.
552
00:46:22,690 --> 00:46:25,273
Not an enemy solider had crossed
the border
553
00:46:25,658 --> 00:46:32,449
into Germany and yet, here was
Germany offering England peace terms.
554
00:46:33,425 --> 00:46:39,434
Well, England in the summer of
1916 was considering that, seriously,
555
00:46:40,017 --> 00:46:43,090
they had no choice.
While that was going on,
556
00:46:44,369 --> 00:46:49,066
the Zionists in Germany
went to the British war cabinet,
557
00:46:49,594 --> 00:46:52,769
"Look here, you can win this war,
558
00:46:53,526 --> 00:46:56,436
if the United States will come
in as your Ally.
559
00:46:57,068 --> 00:47:01,579
The price you must pay us is
Palestine after you have won the war
560
00:47:02,102 --> 00:47:06,286
and defeated Germany,
Austria-Hungary, and Turkey."
561
00:47:07,010 --> 00:47:10,366
They made that
promise in October of 1916.
562
00:47:11,590 --> 00:47:17,438
Now, that is something that the people in
the United States have never been told.
563
00:47:17,990 --> 00:47:21,550
They never knew why
we went into World War I.
564
00:47:22,589 --> 00:47:25,048
After we got into the war,
Lord Balfour
565
00:47:25,365 --> 00:47:27,869
the Zionists went to Great Britain
and they said,
566
00:47:28,901 --> 00:47:30,723
"Let's have
something in writing
567
00:47:31,747 --> 00:47:35,835
that shows that you are
going to keep your bargain
568
00:47:36,236 --> 00:47:38,558
and give us Palestine
after you win the war."
569
00:47:40,211 --> 00:47:43,357
And that was called
"The Balfour Declaration".
570
00:47:43,612 --> 00:47:49,132
The Balfour Declaration was merely
Great Britain's promise to pay the Zionists
571
00:47:49,668 --> 00:47:50,806
what they had agreed upon
572
00:47:51,472 --> 00:47:55,144
as a consideration for getting
the United States into the war.
573
00:47:55,908 --> 00:47:59,481
That is where all
the trouble started."
574
00:47:59,860 --> 00:48:01,757
WAR DECLARED BY UNITED STATES
Resolution passed by both houses of legislature
575
00:48:01,857 --> 00:48:02,867
Army of 2.000.000.
576
00:48:04,895 --> 00:48:06,150
Munich, Germany
April 1919
577
00:48:08,237 --> 00:48:09,470
Down with the Kaiser!
578
00:48:10,261 --> 00:48:12,199
Death to the Kaiser!
579
00:48:14,920 --> 00:48:16,767
The Treaty of Versailles on
28 June 1919
580
00:48:17,287 --> 00:48:18,493
and the Treaty of Saint-Germain
on 20 September
581
00:48:18,593 --> 00:48:21,489
of the same year ensured that German
people would be thoroughly humiliated.
582
00:48:24,361 --> 00:48:26,631
With millions unemployed, revolucionary
Jewish Communist leaders
583
00:48:27,047 --> 00:48:29,479
Karl Liebknecht and Rosa Luxemburg
will atempt a "red" revolution.
584
00:48:31,087 --> 00:48:32,999
British Prime Minister Lloyd George
wrote:
585
00:48:34,098 --> 00:48:36,258
"The international bankers swept statesman,
politicians and journalists all to one side
586
00:48:36,756 --> 00:48:39,292
and issued their orders with the
imperiousness of absolute monarchs."
587
00:48:49,804 --> 00:48:51,316
The Daily Mail reported 10 July 1933:
588
00:48:52,551 --> 00:48:54,416
"The German Nation was rapily falling
under control of alien elemens.
589
00:48:54,833 --> 00:48:56,672
In the last days of the pre-Hitler regime
there were twenty times more
590
00:48:57,119 --> 00:48:58,886
Jewish gouverment officials in Germany
as had existed before the war."
591
00:48:59,679 --> 00:49:01,655
Jews of internationl attachments-
and with Communist persuasions-
592
00:49:02,120 --> 00:49:04,141
had successfully insinuated into
the German administrative sistem.
593
00:49:05,292 --> 00:49:06,962
In 1933, as the new National Socialist
government is removing these Jews
594
00:49:07,370 --> 00:49:09,210
from influential positions, the worldwide
Jewish boycott
595
00:49:09,615 --> 00:49:11,144
of German goods begins.
596
00:49:17,865 --> 00:49:19,985
The German boycott of Jewish business
concerns came in April 1933,
597
00:49:20,377 --> 00:49:22,808
only after the Jewish declaration of war
was announced earlier in March.
598
00:49:29,296 --> 00:49:31,956
JUDEA DECLARES WAR ON GERMANY
599
00:49:38,596 --> 00:49:39,411
Above all,
600
00:49:40,291 --> 00:49:41,940
we must remove the Jews.
601
00:49:43,411 --> 00:49:45,529
They run our banks,
they lost us the war.
602
00:49:46,384 --> 00:49:48,430
They alone are responsible for
the economic disaster we're in.
603
00:49:50,680 --> 00:49:53,238
"When you ask, what have
the Germans done to the Jews,
604
00:49:53,607 --> 00:49:56,277
you must always ask, what have
done the Jews to the Germans.
605
00:49:56,839 --> 00:50:04,816
Since 1850, when the Jews became
got all the political rights in Germany,
606
00:50:05,364 --> 00:50:10,212
the German Reich; they have done
3 things which are really dramatic.
607
00:50:10,247 --> 00:50:15,771
Number 1: They were a small
minority of 2% of the population.
608
00:50:16,436 --> 00:50:24,001
At the time when Hitler came to power,
500.000 within 60 million German people.
609
00:50:24,528 --> 00:50:28,456
500.000 among 60 million.
They were a small minority.
610
00:50:28,831 --> 00:50:34,543
This small minority managed to
control of about 50% of the media;
611
00:50:35,360 --> 00:50:39,179
to give about 70% of all judges;
612
00:50:39,824 --> 00:50:44,361
to have a tremendous influence
in movie, and in theater,
613
00:50:44,977 --> 00:50:47,978
and in literature, they
were over-represented.
614
00:50:48,513 --> 00:50:51,489
This is one thing, they were
absolutely overrepresented
615
00:50:51,913 --> 00:50:54,815
as today in England, in
France, and in United States.
616
00:50:55,248 --> 00:50:59,813
Second, Jews were
at the origin of a lot of
617
00:51:00,198 --> 00:51:08,159
catastrophic financial bank crashes
in Germany between 1870 and 1920.
618
00:51:08,813 --> 00:51:12,006
In that time, they made a
lot of crashes, which have...
619
00:51:12,566 --> 00:51:15,187
This is all documented, it's not Nazi
propaganda,
620
00:51:15,523 --> 00:51:17,627
or anti-Semitic, or Arab propaganda.
621
00:51:18,036 --> 00:51:19,336
It's a lot of books have been published,
622
00:51:19,711 --> 00:51:22,112
even by Jewish-Germans,
about this problem.
623
00:51:22,377 --> 00:51:26,776
They have millions of
German fathers have lost
624
00:51:27,275 --> 00:51:32,467
their uh, their uh, their incomes
their uh their fortune, their savings,
625
00:51:32,899 --> 00:51:38,829
because of these Jewish gangsters,
bank gangsters and speculation people.
626
00:51:39,682 --> 00:51:42,563
Then the third point which was
psychologically
627
00:51:42,923 --> 00:51:44,243
the most dangerous of all,
628
00:51:44,682 --> 00:51:50,097
they have introduced into German
art and culture and theater and movie:
629
00:51:50,677 --> 00:51:52,425
decadence - immorality.
630
00:51:52,886 --> 00:51:58,536
The first homosexual theaters, plays
were made in Berlin in the 1920s.
631
00:51:59,000 --> 00:52:02,026
The first adultery theater plays
632
00:52:02,378 --> 00:52:07,266
were made in the 1880s and the 1890s,
a hundred years ago,
633
00:52:07,796 --> 00:52:14,074
by Jewish authors, adultery,
then sexual perversions of all sorts:
634
00:52:14,419 --> 00:52:19,027
sadism, masochism, lot of
homosexuality all these things and
635
00:52:19,387 --> 00:52:23,635
then the decadent art you know,
an art which is absolutely ridiculous,
636
00:52:24,018 --> 00:52:27,699
so called modern art, it was
all pushed by Jewish intellectuals
637
00:52:28,108 --> 00:52:34,426
and this created among the
German people, a big, uh, a big revolt.
638
00:52:34,794 --> 00:52:40,168
And they also, they wrote books,
ridiculing Christianity, ridiculing Jesus.
639
00:52:40,679 --> 00:52:42,842
And there were furious reactions
in Germany.
640
00:52:43,257 --> 00:52:45,825
And this is why Adolf Hitler
came to power.
641
00:52:46,270 --> 00:52:50,028
And you see then Hitler in
two years, from '33 to '35,
642
00:52:50,726 --> 00:52:54,560
he brought six million unemployed
Germans back into their jobs.
643
00:52:55,070 --> 00:52:57,701
He created 6 million jobs.
It's incredible."

KRISTALLNACHT
9-10 november 1938
645
00:53:12,151 --> 00:53:14,384
The November 1938 assassinion of te
German diplomat Ernst von Rath in Paris
646
00:53:15,674 --> 00:53:17,535
by te Jew Herschel Grynszpan was
the pretext for the progoms
647
00:53:17,957 --> 00:53:19,645
agaist the German Jews that followed.
648
00:53:20,097 --> 00:53:23,272
At the time, Joseph Goebbels was negotiating
to overturn te international Jewish trade embargo.
649
00:53:23,718 --> 00:53:26,551
He moved quicky to halt the vioence,
fearing it would derail the talks.
650
00:53:33,976 --> 00:53:35,749
NAZIS SMASH, LOOT AND BURN JEWISH
SHOPS AND TEMPLES
651
00:53:36,179 --> 00:53:37,843
UNTIL GOEBBELS CALLS HALT
652
00:53:47,519 --> 00:53:49,667
THE TRANSFER AGREEMENT
653
00:53:52,562 --> 00:53:56,403
Secret negotiations between the
Nazis and the Zionists in 1933,
654
00:53:56,657 --> 00:53:57,210
22 April 1984- Channel 5 News
655
00:53:57,245 --> 00:54:00,159
which allowed German Jews and
their assets to go to Palestine.
656
00:54:15,016 --> 00:54:16,520
A group of Zionists,
at the same time,
657
00:54:16,888 --> 00:54:19,096
was quietly negotiating an
agreement with the Nazis,
658
00:54:19,728 --> 00:54:23,776
to allow the immigration of German Jews
and the transfer of their assets to Palestine.
659
00:54:24,705 --> 00:54:28,654
That deal, reported in August 1933,
was the Transfer Agreement.
660
00:54:29,351 --> 00:54:31,718
Palestine, sparsely
settled by Jews at the time,
661
00:54:32,093 --> 00:54:33,757
was radically
changed as a result.
662
00:54:34,491 --> 00:54:37,532
I lived in Palestine
from 1933 to 1936.
663
00:54:38,429 --> 00:54:43,215
And uh, we saw, every week,
passports of German Jews,
664
00:54:44,318 --> 00:54:45,902
coming to settle in Palestine.
665
00:54:46,534 --> 00:54:50,230
German-Jewish settlement of Palestine
was, for a time, official Nazi policy.
666
00:54:50,967 --> 00:54:53,239
These photos, of Jewish life
in Palestine,
667
00:54:53,566 --> 00:54:56,217
along with a lengthy text,
appeared in 1934,
668
00:54:56,808 --> 00:54:59,513
in the Berlin paper,
Der Angriff, the publisher,
669
00:55:00,037 --> 00:55:02,855
Hitler's propaganda
minister Joseph Goebbels.
670
00:55:03,508 --> 00:55:06,863
"A Nazi Visits Palestine", was
the title of the multi-part series.
671
00:55:07,424 --> 00:55:09,600
A medal was struck by
Goebbels in commemoration.
672
00:55:10,199 --> 00:55:14,399
On one side the Swastika,
on the other, The Star Of David.
673
00:55:15,207 --> 00:55:17,639
Hitler demanded one concession
for the transfer agreement.
674
00:55:18,120 --> 00:55:21,704
That the call for a Boycott of the Reich,
raised by Jews here and elsewhere,
675
00:55:22,145 --> 00:55:23,631
be rejected by the Zionists.
676
00:55:24,458 --> 00:55:25,994
The Zionists made that concession.

Judea declares war on Germany
BOYCOTT ALL GERMAN GOODS
678
00:55:32,388 --> 00:55:33,718
THE TRANSFER AGREEMENT
679
00:55:34,557 --> 00:55:36,094
The Transfer Agreement was a pact
that allowed Jews to emigrate
680
00:55:36,595 --> 00:55:38,011
from Germany to Palestine
with their wealt intact.
681
00:55:38,580 --> 00:55:40,107
This is contrary to all anti-Hitler
propaganda.
682
00:55:41,114 --> 00:55:42,682
The agreement was concluded
in August 1933,
683
00:55:43,157 --> 00:55:44,893
following talks between German
officials
684
00:55:45,484 --> 00:55:47,349
and the Palestine Center of the
World Zionist Organisation.
685
00:55:48,259 --> 00:55:50,225
Each Jew bound for Palestine deposited
money into a special account in Germany.
686
00:55:50,666 --> 00:55:52,096
The funds were used to purchase
German goods
687
00:55:52,545 --> 00:55:54,227
which were exported to Palestine
and sold there
688
00:55:54,754 --> 00:55:56,747
by the Jewish-owned Haavara
company in Tel Aviv.
689
00:56:06,273 --> 00:56:08,658
Profits from the sales were then given
to the Jewish emigrant upon his arrival,
690
00:56:09,082 --> 00:56:10,800
an amount corresponding to the
initial deposit in Germany.
691
00:56:15,395 --> 00:56:17,158
Thus, the agreement served the Zionist
aim of bringing Jewish settlers
692
00:56:17,571 --> 00:56:19,028
and development capital to Palestine,
693
00:56:19,539 --> 00:56:21,250
whilst simultaneously advancing
the German goal
694
00:56:21,666 --> 00:56:23,083
of freeing the country of an
unwanted alien group.
695
00:56:23,635 --> 00:56:25,344
As a result, Hitler's government vigorously
supported the emigration
696
00:56:25,793 --> 00:56:27,456
of Jews to Palestine from 1933
until 1940-41,
697
00:56:27,890 --> 00:56:29,358
when the Second World War
prevented futher collaboration.
698
00:56:42,855 --> 00:56:44,766
HITLER'S JEWISH SOLDIERS
699
00:56:49,570 --> 00:56:51,397
Approximately 150.000 soldiers with
Jewish blood would eventually fight
700
00:56:51,734 --> 00:56:53,447
for the armed forces on the
Third Reich.
701
00:56:53,909 --> 00:56:54,950
These included:
702
00:56:55,342 --> 00:56:56,414
2 Field Marrshals
703
00:56:56,875 --> 00:56:58,054
15 Generals
704
00:56:58,444 --> 00:56:59,618
8 Lieutenant Generals
705
00:57:00,113 --> 00:57:01,329
5 Major Generals
706
00:57:01,920 --> 00:57:03,656
Together they commanded up
to 100.000 troops.
707
00:57:15,963 --> 00:57:17,860
20 Jews would also win the Reich's
highest military honour,
708
00:57:18,321 --> 00:57:20,033
the Knight's Cross.
709
00:57:23,215 --> 00:57:24,679
1/2 Jew Werner Goldberg
710
00:57:26,425 --> 00:57:28,579
1/2 Jew Horst Geitner
Received Iron Cross 2nd Class
711
00:57:29,090 --> 00:57:30,547
and The Silver Wound Badge
712
00:57:31,170 --> 00:57:32,570
1/2 Jew Johannes Zukertort
713
00:57:34,242 --> 00:57:35,989
1/2 Jew Colonel
Walter H. Hollaender
714
00:57:39,535 --> 00:57:41,352
Emil Maurice was a personal friend
of Hitler's,
715
00:57:41,754 --> 00:57:43,625
and his one-time chauffer and bodyguard.
716
00:57:44,113 --> 00:57:45,712
He was also an early member
of the NSDAP
717
00:57:46,223 --> 00:57:47,704
and one of the founders
of the SS.
718
00:57:57,735 --> 00:57:59,175
The Führer stood by his old friend
719
00:57:59,658 --> 00:58:01,298
when Maurice's Jewish ancestry
was discovered,
720
00:58:01,815 --> 00:58:03,152
declaring him an "Honorary Aryan".
721
00:58:08,359 --> 00:58:10,883
He was allowed to remain
in the SS...
722
00:58:20,667 --> 00:58:22,572
To be continued

Part 5
Adolf Hitler - The Gretest Story NEVER Told!
724
00:58:50,203 --> 00:58:51,960
On 28 June 1914 Serbian radical
Gavrilo Princip assassinated
725
00:58:52,506 --> 00:58:54,078
Austrian Archduke Franc Ferdinand
in Sarajevo.
726
00:58:54,566 --> 00:58:56,271
One month later on 28 July 1914
Austria declared war on Serbia,
727
00:58:56,768 --> 00:58:58,536
initiating World War One.
728
00:59:07,479 --> 00:59:08,799
Munich, Germany
May 1914
729
00:59:19,617 --> 00:59:20,441
Come closer!
730
00:59:23,305 --> 00:59:24,231
Let me speak!
731
00:59:25,222 --> 00:59:29,055
England, France and Russia are
joining forces against our ally Austria.
732
00:59:30,231 --> 00:59:33,126
We must stand with her,
united, ready to sacrifice.
733
00:59:38,230 --> 00:59:39,948
Eventually the victorious Allies
would hold Germany alone
734
00:59:40,427 --> 00:59:41,826
for World War One.
735
00:59:42,552 --> 00:59:44,368
The next twenty years would see
the German population suffer terribly
736
00:59:45,028 --> 00:59:46,929
from the consequences of the
Treaty of Versailles.
737
00:59:57,657 --> 00:59:59,185
To understand the causes of World
War Two,
738
00:59:59,658 --> 01:00:02,057
we must first studi the aftermath
of World War One.
739
01:00:14,948 --> 01:00:16,705
The allied leaders were arguing
their way
740
01:00:17,048 --> 01:00:18,816
over the whole future
of the German people.
741
01:00:23,376 --> 01:00:25,577
Under their hands the map of
Europe was drawn,
742
01:00:26,526 --> 01:00:27,574
and re-drawn again.
743
01:00:28,523 --> 01:00:30,899
At last, after more than
three months of discussion,
744
01:00:31,427 --> 01:00:33,663
they presented the terms of
their treaty to the Germans.
745
01:00:35,147 --> 01:00:38,303
Germany lost land in the
East, the West, and the North.
746
01:00:38,707 --> 01:00:42,060
In the East, the most important of those
losses was the wide strip of territory
747
01:00:42,491 --> 01:00:44,271
given to the newly independent
Poland,
748
01:00:44,793 --> 01:00:47,373
separating East Prussia
from the rest of Germany.
749
01:00:50,248 --> 01:00:54,509
While on the West, France took back
the provinces of Alsace and Lorraine.
750
01:00:57,651 --> 01:01:00,435
And was also given the
right to mine coal in the Saar,
751
01:01:00,889 --> 01:01:03,954
an area placed under League
of Nations control for 15 years.
752
01:01:08,366 --> 01:01:12,215
To protect France, Germany was forbidden
to station soldiers in the Rhineland,
753
01:01:12,966 --> 01:01:16,879
an area which was to be
occupied by Allied troops until 1935.
754
01:01:19,344 --> 01:01:22,191
It was not only the loss of
territory which Germany resented,
755
01:01:22,984 --> 01:01:25,600
but also the fact that Czechoslovakia
and Poland,
756
01:01:26,831 --> 01:01:28,293
now contained large numbers
of Germans.
757
01:01:29,035 --> 01:01:30,509
And as if to add insult to injury,
758
01:01:30,981 --> 01:01:32,889
the treaty forbade German
speaking Austria
759
01:01:33,251 --> 01:01:34,665
to unite with Germany.
760
01:01:36,274 --> 01:01:38,043
Her fortifications were to be
destroyed.
761
01:01:38,977 --> 01:01:41,858
Her army was to be
reduced to a 100.000 men.
762
01:01:43,353 --> 01:01:46,504
No Air Force.
No submarines.
763
01:01:46,632 --> 01:01:49,705
And to accept blame for starting
the War and pay reparations.
764
01:01:50,031 --> 01:01:52,275
So, in the high summer of 1919,
765
01:01:52,742 --> 01:01:54,557
the German delegates were brought
to the great
766
01:01:54,932 --> 01:01:56,989
Hall of Mirrors of Versailles
to sign the peace treaty.
767
01:01:57,966 --> 01:02:02,692
It was a compromised peace that
satisfied not even one single Allied leader
768
01:02:03,410 --> 01:02:05,455
and predictably the
Germans loathed it.
769
01:02:06,702 --> 01:02:10,878
The Germans argued that the Germany to which
they were returning had suffered poverty
770
01:02:11,290 --> 01:02:13,174
and unemployment in
the years since the war,
771
01:02:14,190 --> 01:02:17,013
and couldn't afford the vast
sums demanded by the Allies.
772
01:02:25,961 --> 01:02:28,089
But these arguments
didn't impress the Allies,
773
01:02:28,488 --> 01:02:32,421
who fixed the sum of 6.600.000.000
pounds for the Germans to pay.
774
01:02:35,568 --> 01:02:38,043
That sum would have to be
paid in goods as well as money.
775
01:02:38,794 --> 01:02:40,630
Most would come from here
in the Ruhr,
776
01:02:41,207 --> 01:02:42,903
the industrial heart of Germany.
777
01:02:44,343 --> 01:02:48,045
But at the end of 1922, the Germans
fell behind with their payments,
778
01:02:48,522 --> 01:02:49,842
and Raymond Poincare,
779
01:02:50,256 --> 01:02:52,616
the new French Prime
Minister, decided to act.
780
01:02:53,472 --> 01:02:55,859
If Germany wouldn't pay in full
and on the nail,
781
01:02:56,538 --> 01:02:58,539
then France would help herself.
782
01:02:59,149 --> 01:03:01,523
So, on the 11th of January, 1923,
783
01:03:02,076 --> 01:03:04,197
French and Belgian troops entered
the Ruhr
784
01:03:04,505 --> 01:03:05,808
to force the Germans to pay up.
785
01:03:08,798 --> 01:03:12,354
There was of course, after Versailles,
no German army big enough to stop them.
786
01:03:13,520 --> 01:03:16,607
At first, the French believed that they
could make the Germans work for them.
787
01:03:17,101 --> 01:03:21,477
But suddenly, German politicians and
people were united in a common cause;
788
01:03:21,972 --> 01:03:23,172
hatred of the French.
789
01:03:23,850 --> 01:03:26,523
And huge protest meetings
were held all over Germany.
790
01:03:27,312 --> 01:03:30,522
Their attitude towards the
Germans in the Ruhr began to harden.
791
01:03:31,257 --> 01:03:33,640
They tried to cut off the Ruhr
off from the rest of the country.
792
01:03:34,688 --> 01:03:37,768
German visitors were searched as
if they were entering a foreign land.
793
01:03:52,180 --> 01:03:54,665
1923 was disastrous for Germany.
794
01:03:55,228 --> 01:03:57,868
In that year, the great
German inflation reached its peak.
795
01:03:58,643 --> 01:04:00,946
For some time the value of
the Mark had been dropping.
796
01:04:01,569 --> 01:04:03,083
As the value of the notes decreased,
797
01:04:03,482 --> 01:04:06,676
so the amounts of notes needed
to buy things grew.
798
01:04:06,545 --> 01:04:06,480
SPARKASSE DER STADT BERLIN
799
01:04:06,580 --> 01:04:08,251
Banks became more
and more hard pressed,
800
01:04:08,640 --> 01:04:10,625
to meet the ever-increasing
demand for paper money.
801
01:04:10,725 --> 01:04:11,405
Closed
802
01:04:11,545 --> 01:04:14,109
For their customers,
suitcases replaced wallets.
803
01:04:15,161 --> 01:04:16,738
As Germany slipped towards disaster,
804
01:04:17,148 --> 01:04:19,436
Gustav Stresemann was appointed
Chancellor.
805
01:04:20,954 --> 01:04:23,996
The loss of production in the
Ruhr was making inflation even worse,
806
01:04:24,676 --> 01:04:27,924
and Stresemann realized that the only
way to help the economy back to normal,
807
01:04:28,420 --> 01:04:31,836
was to call off resistance there,
and get production going again.
808
01:04:32,626 --> 01:04:33,748
The government also announced
809
01:04:34,069 --> 01:04:36,317
that Germany would resume the payment
of reparations;
810
01:04:36,811 --> 01:04:39,146
it was the only possible
way of getting the French out.
811
01:04:40,048 --> 01:04:41,051
But to the nationalists,
812
01:04:41,387 --> 01:04:44,530
it looked like again another pathetic
surrender to Germany's enemies.
813
01:04:45,299 --> 01:04:48,568
General Ludendorff, who had never
accepted that Germany had ever been defeated,
814
01:04:49,327 --> 01:04:51,230
gave his support to Adolf Hitler,
815
01:04:52,005 --> 01:04:54,373
the leader of the new National
Socialist party.
816
01:05:00,435 --> 01:05:01,905
1939 THE POLISH CONFLICT
817
01:05:06,770 --> 01:05:08,335
Problems had arisen in Poland
over access
818
01:05:08,767 --> 01:05:10,687
to the German territory of East Prussia
and coastal city of Danzig.
819
01:05:11,269 --> 01:05:13,029
Hitler on several occasions presented
proposals to try
820
01:05:13,501 --> 01:05:16,785
and resolve both situations peaceably,
but the Poles refused to seriously negotiate.
821
01:05:17,489 --> 01:05:19,586
Now in Poland, just like in Czechoslovakia,
the safety of ethnic Germans
822
01:05:20,042 --> 01:05:21,729
was again becoming a concern
for Hitler.
823
01:05:31,984 --> 01:05:33,081
DANZIG
824
01:05:33,366 --> 01:05:37,076
Until 1934, conflicts between
Germany and Poland smoldered.
825
01:05:37,588 --> 01:05:39,179
Danzig, next to East Prussia,
826
01:05:39,522 --> 01:05:41,559
had been completely cut off
from the Reich.
827
01:05:45,749 --> 01:05:48,286
Warsaw continued to try to rest
total control
828
01:05:48,774 --> 01:05:50,990
over this strategically important
harbor city.
829
01:05:52,595 --> 01:05:55,254
In West Prussia, the
situation was similar.
830
01:05:55,546 --> 01:05:58,918
East Prussia was now completely
cut off from the German Reich.
831
01:06:04,681 --> 01:06:07,404
Bolstered by English and
French guarantees of war support,
832
01:06:07,722 --> 01:06:11,260
Poland has no further incentive to
negotiate in good faith with Germany,
833
01:06:11,552 --> 01:06:15,042
and in the meantime in Warsaw,
maps are suddenly starting to circulate
834
01:06:15,440 --> 01:06:17,459
which contain a new Western-Polish
border,
835
01:06:17,802 --> 01:06:19,600
extending to just West of Berlin.
836
01:06:20,311 --> 01:06:24,303
All across Poland, the so-called
pogroms against the minorities begin.
837
01:06:25,460 --> 01:06:29,143
Night after night, polish border
officials shot at the fleeing Germans.
838
01:06:30,540 --> 01:06:32,703
Shortly before the official outbreak
of war,
839
01:06:33,065 --> 01:06:37,036
there were already 80.000
ethnic Germans in refugee camps
840
01:06:37,178 --> 01:06:38,963
in both Danzig and the German Reich.
841
01:06:45,873 --> 01:06:48,562
The misery of the
minority Germans in Poland
842
01:06:49,089 --> 01:06:51,683
had now developed the third and most
pressing reason
843
01:06:52,109 --> 01:06:54,297
that would lead to the outbreak
of war.
844
01:06:57,609 --> 01:06:59,337
"The democratic states should not be
vain as to think
845
01:06:59,818 --> 01:07:02,927
this state of affairs will last forever."
Adolf Hitler 1939
846
01:07:09,142 --> 01:07:11,852
THE DANZIG MASSACRES
847
01:07:18,017 --> 01:07:21,050
Hitler now has a problem that Britain
and France will declare war on them.
848
01:07:21,321 --> 01:07:23,850
At this point, Poland is actually
committing,
849
01:07:24,257 --> 01:07:26,785
pretty bad atrocities against the
850
01:07:27,160 --> 01:07:30,625
German minority in West Prussia,
851
01:07:31,144 --> 01:07:34,096
in the German part of Poland
at that time.
852
01:07:35,301 --> 01:07:37,184
And so given that Poles
are committing atrocities
853
01:07:37,588 --> 01:07:38,828
against the German minority in Poland,
854
01:07:39,663 --> 01:07:42,868
Hitler is now at a
very tough situation.
855
01:07:43,496 --> 01:07:47,252
Basically it's like, alright
if I don't declare war on
856
01:07:47,653 --> 01:07:49,917
Poland, if I don't go in and
help these Germans out,
857
01:07:50,398 --> 01:07:52,986
well then, the German minorities are
just going to keep getting slaughtered.
858
01:07:53,644 --> 01:07:57,662
And it's not an insignificant amount of
Germans in that area who are being killed,
859
01:07:58,090 --> 01:08:01,830
it was pretty bad what was going on,
what the Poles were doing in that area.
860
01:08:02,506 --> 01:08:05,637
And so, he was basically
saying well, if we don't go in,
861
01:08:06,030 --> 01:08:07,886
then those Germans are just
going to keep getting slaughtered.
862
01:08:09,176 --> 01:08:12,972
If we go in, we're going to find
ourselves at war with Poland,
863
01:08:13,504 --> 01:08:17,003
France, and Britain, and
possibly the Soviet Union.
864
01:08:20,305 --> 01:08:21,706
But in a move of brilliant cunning,
865
01:08:22,310 --> 01:08:26,142
he astonished the world in the summer
of 1939, by doing a deal with Stalin.
866
01:08:26,627 --> 01:08:27,620
With Stalin on his side,
867
01:08:28,219 --> 01:08:31,598
Hitler was sure nobody else would
interfere, when he attacked the Poles.
868
01:08:32,382 --> 01:08:33,343
German Foreign Minister
Joachim von Ribbentrop
869
01:08:33,394 --> 01:08:37,004
Whilst the military commissions of the
Western powers are still negotiating in Moscow
870
01:08:37,039 --> 01:08:40,153
with a view of enlisting Russia
in their front against Germany,
871
01:08:40,777 --> 01:08:42,193
Reich Foreign Minister Von Ribbentrop
872
01:08:42,489 --> 01:08:45,392
flies to the Soviet capital to
sign a pact of non-aggression
873
01:08:45,847 --> 01:08:49,231
and consultation with Mr. Stalin
and Foreign Commissar Molatov.
874
01:08:52,316 --> 01:08:53,995
1 SEPTEMBER 1939
875
01:08:57,756 --> 01:09:00,018
Applause greets the Führer
who has just arrived
876
01:09:00,452 --> 01:09:02,917
at the Kroll Opera House
to address the Reichstag,
877
01:09:03,365 --> 01:09:04,869
which has been called
in an extraordinary session.
878
01:09:12,300 --> 01:09:14,050
"Danzig was and is a German city.
879
01:09:14,658 --> 01:09:17,480
to have only Germany to thank
for their cultural development.
880
01:09:33,236 --> 01:09:35,305
I told the Polish ambassador
three weeks ago,
881
01:09:35,666 --> 01:09:37,754
that if the situation continued
as it was,
882
01:09:38,193 --> 01:09:42,023
if Danzig was persecuted, and if it
were attempted by Poland
883
01:09:42,695 --> 01:09:44,062
to ruin Danzig economically,
884
01:09:44,455 --> 01:09:46,036
the situation could
not be tolerated."
885
01:09:51,503 --> 01:09:54,543
"We interrupt this broadcast of Adolf
Hitler's speech just moments early,
886
01:09:54,904 --> 01:09:58,344
to report a dispatch from Paris, which
says that Premier Daladier of France,
887
01:09:58,718 --> 01:10:02,012
has now called the French Council of
Ministers for an emergency meeting."
888
01:10:12,731 --> 01:10:13,441
Polish troops are mobilised
889
01:10:13,476 --> 01:10:14,984
"I, therefore, resolve
to speak to Poland
890
01:10:15,489 --> 01:10:18,991
in the same language in which Poland
has addressed us for such a long time."
891
01:10:31,334 --> 01:10:32,015
Danzig is liberated the same day
892
01:10:32,050 --> 01:10:33,415
"Once again we interrupt very briefly.
893
01:10:33,944 --> 01:10:36,286
This talk by Chancellor Hitler,
to announce that, in London,
894
01:10:36,764 --> 01:10:39,429
Parliament has been
summoned to meet at 6 pm in London."
895
01:10:51,039 --> 01:10:55,252
"Poland, for the first time, this evening,
has shot at regular soldiers upon our territory.
896
01:11:03,723 --> 01:11:06,268
From now on, bomb will be met
by bomb."
897
01:11:16,421 --> 01:11:18,108
Poland had greatly underestimate the
German armed forces.
898
01:11:19,170 --> 01:11:20,778
The tactic of attacking the enemy
with great speed
899
01:11:21,170 --> 01:11:23,127
known as Blitzkrieg, or "lightning war",
is utterly devstating.
900
01:11:23,820 --> 01:11:25,363
The plight of the German minorities
had become clear.
901
01:11:25,828 --> 01:11:27,124
During the last weeks before
the outbreak of war,
902
01:11:27,547 --> 01:11:29,071
racial propaganda in the Polish press
played a major role
903
01:11:29,334 --> 01:11:31,182
in the persecution of Germans
already hounded and harrassed.
904
01:11:31,877 --> 01:11:33,315
Acts of violence against the Germans
continue,
905
01:11:33,753 --> 01:11:36,055
and would eventually include a total
of 58.000 slaughtered.
906
01:11:52,998 --> 01:11:55,439
The worst massacres will take place
between 31August and 6 September.
907
01:11:55,861 --> 01:11:58,108
The climax came on 3 September in Bromberg,
in what is known as "Bloody Sunday".
908
01:11:58,722 --> 01:12:00,547
The mass murders would only end on
18 September
909
01:12:01,099 --> 01:12:02,999
with the arrival of German
troops near Lowitsch.
910
01:12:03,911 --> 01:12:05,592
Those found guilty of taking part
in the brutal killings
911
01:12:05,998 --> 01:12:07,880
now faced dead by firing squad.
912
01:12:22,060 --> 01:12:23,926
LONDON, ENGLAND
3 SEPTEMBER 1939
913
01:12:27,661 --> 01:12:28,850
"I am speaking to you,
914
01:12:30,169 --> 01:12:33,112
from the Cabinet Room,
at 10 Downing Street.
915
01:12:35,172 --> 01:12:38,175
This morning, the British ambassador
in Berlin,
916
01:12:39,376 --> 01:12:42,679
handed the German government,
a final note,
917
01:12:43,823 --> 01:12:48,072
stating that unless we heard from them
by 11 o'clock,
918
01:12:49,215 --> 01:12:50,999
that they were prepared at once,
919
01:12:51,430 --> 01:12:53,528
to withdraw their troops
from Poland,
920
01:12:54,432 --> 01:12:57,200
a state of war would exist
between us.
921
01:12:59,212 --> 01:13:00,526
I have to tell you now,
922
01:13:01,399 --> 01:13:03,872
that no such undertaking
has been received,
923
01:13:05,206 --> 01:13:10,317
and that, consequently, this
country is at war with Germany."
924
01:13:16,663 --> 01:13:18,612
To be continued
925
01:13:24,764 --> 01:13:27,554
Part 6
Adolf Hitler - The Gretest Story NEVER Told!
926
01:13:31,033 --> 01:13:33,223
Within two days, the issues involving
the human rights of German minorities,
927
01:13:33,679 --> 01:13:35,351
as well as the disputies over Danzig
and isolated East Prussia,
928
01:13:35,795 --> 01:13:37,455
would turn into World War Tho.
929
01:13:38,888 --> 01:13:41,649
From the beginning the civilian population
feels the jmpact of the invasion.
930
01:13:43,266 --> 01:13:45,249
As casualties mount Polish civilians,
with the full support of their military,
931
01:13:45,690 --> 01:13:47,928
hunt down any Germans still
in Poland.
932
01:13:49,367 --> 01:13:51,551
Following the invasion, there is a wave
of house searches;
933
01:13:52,038 --> 01:13:54,501
ethnic Germans are beaten and raped,
with at last 5.000 murdered.
934
01:13:55,447 --> 01:13:57,510
The massacres, especially in the sity
of Bromberg, will be hidden
935
01:13:57,966 --> 01:13:59,118
from the history books.
936
01:13:59,479 --> 01:14:01,486
They will eventually emerge as one
of the most henious of crimes
937
01:14:01,927 --> 01:14:03,582
to be inflicted upon a
civil population.
938
01:14:40,900 --> 01:14:42,652
DANZIG
16 SEPTEMBER 1939
939
01:14:49,947 --> 01:14:54,442
As a soldier in the World War
who only fought in the West...
940
01:14:55,553 --> 01:14:59,380
I never had the opportunity to
witness such deeds...
941
01:15:01,827 --> 01:15:04,681
the thousands of slaughtered
Volksgennossen...
942
01:15:06,745 --> 01:15:09,494
the brutally butchered women
and children...
943
01:15:12,910 --> 01:15:16,565
the countless German soldiers and
officers who fell, wounded...
944
01:15:16,940 --> 01:15:19,526
in the hands of the enemy and who
were massacred
945
01:15:20,259 --> 01:15:22,914
and bestially mutilated with their
eyes gouged out...
946
01:15:28,889 --> 01:15:31,546
and worse yet, the Polish government
has
947
01:15:32,545 --> 01:15:35,434
openly admitted this in a
radio broadcast...
948
01:15:36,810 --> 01:15:41,769
the Lufttwaffe soldiers, thet were
forced to parachute,
949
01:15:42,674 --> 01:15:44,714
were to be killed in a cowardly fashion.
950
01:15:52,132 --> 01:15:53,968
THE GERMAN-SOVIET
NON-AGGRESSION PACT
951
01:15:54,799 --> 01:15:56,651
In securing the Molotov-Ribbentrop
Pact with the Soviets
952
01:15:57,132 --> 01:15:58,607
and offering Stalin the Eastern
half of Poland,
953
01:15:59,725 --> 01:16:01,756
Hitler hopes that the Russian presence
there will prevent Britain and France
954
01:16:02,164 --> 01:16:03,540
from declaring war.
955
01:16:03,957 --> 01:16:05,749
This would now allow Hitler to protect
the German minorities,
956
01:16:06,257 --> 01:16:08,012
and at same time reclaim the teritories
lost at Versailles.
957
01:16:08,661 --> 01:16:10,299
Although both Germany and Soviets
invade Poland,
958
01:16:10,790 --> 01:16:13,086
war by the Allies is only
declared on Germany.
959
01:16:22,578 --> 01:16:24,646
On 17 September 1939, Stalin invades
Poland and claims
960
01:16:25,102 --> 01:16:26,717
the Eastern teritory as agreed.
961
01:16:28,070 --> 01:16:29,909
Meanwhile, Hitler on three separate
occasions, offers the opportunity
962
01:16:30,370 --> 01:16:33,560
of uncondicional surrender to
the Polish commander in Warsaw.
963
01:16:35,670 --> 01:16:37,461
Poland refuses all ultimatums und
the German assault begins.
964
01:16:38,085 --> 01:16:40,957
Warsaw capitulates in just 24 hours
at the cost of 40.000 dead or injured.
965
01:16:54,180 --> 01:16:55,620
The war with Poland last
just 29 days.
966
01:16:55,651 --> 01:16:58,147
Hitler didn't want a
general war, what he wanted,
967
01:16:58,570 --> 01:17:02,818
and I have no doubt about this,
he wanted a war to destroy Poland.
968
01:17:04,513 --> 01:17:05,847
That he was prepared for.
969
01:17:06,384 --> 01:17:10,353
For a moment, he was disconcerted
to find that he might be involved in war
970
01:17:10,737 --> 01:17:14,801
with Britain and France, because,
this had never been his plan.
971
01:17:15,873 --> 01:17:17,994
He had always regarded
Britain as his natural allien.
972
01:17:18,821 --> 01:17:20,403
But, in the end, he accepted.
973
01:17:20,811 --> 01:17:22,332
'Look, I have a
Nazi-Soviet pact,
974
01:17:22,858 --> 01:17:26,292
which guarantees that this will
not develop into a general war.
975
01:17:26,603 --> 01:17:29,780
I shall be able to knock Poland out in
three weeks, which he more or less did.
976
01:17:30,565 --> 01:17:34,804
After that, the West isn't
going to start up a war again.
977
01:17:43,688 --> 01:17:45,130
PLANS FOR A LONG WAR
978
01:17:45,230 --> 01:17:47,070
CHURCHILL IS NEW NAVY CHIEF
979
01:18:00,853 --> 01:18:01,980
MAY 1940
980
01:18:03,310 --> 01:18:05,310
In theirs quests to prevent Germany
from reclaiminig territory
981
01:18:05,797 --> 01:18:08,686
lost under the Treaty of Versailles,
Britain and France refuse any offers of peace.
982
01:18:10,277 --> 01:18:12,349
In reality, they are worried about
Germany's rapid economic growth,
983
01:18:12,766 --> 01:18:14,528
and will not suffer futher
German advancement.
984
01:18:15,056 --> 01:18:16,647
At stake are the British and French
empires,
985
01:18:17,376 --> 01:18:20,076
with the British alone ruling
over 480 million people.
986
01:18:30,885 --> 01:18:32,621
French Empire 1919- 1939
987
01:18:34,930 --> 01:18:36,779
British Empire 1919- 1939
988
01:18:40,611 --> 01:18:41,725
10 May 1940
989
01:18:42,909 --> 01:18:44,776
With French troops mobilising and
more British troops arriving
990
01:18:45,241 --> 01:18:46,576
on the mainland by the day,
991
01:18:47,256 --> 01:18:49,072
Germany has no alternative
but to go on the offensive.
992
01:18:50,080 --> 01:18:51,737
The British Establishment replaced
Nevil Chamberlain as Prime Minister,
993
01:18:52,120 --> 01:18:53,360
shoosing Winston Churchill instead.
994
01:18:53,864 --> 01:18:55,656
The same day Hitler invades
France trough Belgium.
995
01:20:16,676 --> 01:20:17,982
The armies of Britain and France
are no much for this
996
01:20:18,326 --> 01:20:19,389
new German war machine.
997
01:20:19,846 --> 01:20:21,324
There will be no World War One
trench warfare,
998
01:20:21,771 --> 01:20:23,323
as the tactic of the Blitzkrieg once
again proves devastating.
999
01:20:24,180 --> 01:20:25,746
In a matter of weeks the Germans seize
vital territory and resources in Europe,
1000
01:20:26,187 --> 01:20:28,647
and eventually outtlank and trap
the Allies on the coast of France.
1001
01:20:29,500 --> 01:20:30,712
With their backs against the
English Channel,
1002
01:20:31,123 --> 01:20:33,458
both the world's leading colonial
armies face total annihilation.
1003
01:20:53,458 --> 01:20:55,737
Hitler delays the attack for two days,
leaving the British time
1004
01:20:56,103 --> 01:20:57,575
for chaotic evacuation
from the Port of Dunkirk.
1005
01:20:58,324 --> 01:20:59,669
Althout most histrians see this
as a gesture of peace,
1006
01:21:00,085 --> 01:21:01,565
others still insist it was
a military blunder.
1007
01:21:02,422 --> 01:21:04,566
Humiliated, the British Empire now has
to rely on civilian sailing vessels
1008
01:21:04,974 --> 01:21:06,581
and merchant fishing boats to help
ferry troops back
1009
01:21:06,965 --> 01:21:08,213
across the English Channel.
1010
01:21:08,854 --> 01:21:10,076
With all their heavy artillery, tenks
and armoured vehicles
1011
01:21:10,428 --> 01:21:11,601
left on the shores of France,
they are a spent force,
1012
01:21:12,003 --> 01:21:13,867
but will look for other means
of continuing the war.
1013
01:21:24,182 --> 01:21:26,707
Six weeks of German
Blitzkrieg defeats France.
1014
01:21:29,508 --> 01:21:30,755
Paris is Hitler's.
1015
01:21:40,226 --> 01:21:41,603
Hitler will have the French authorities
surrender at Compiegne
1016
01:21:41,993 --> 01:21:43,850
using the very same carriage in
which the Germans had been compelled
1017
01:21:44,208 --> 01:21:45,962
to ask for an armistice in
World War One.
1018
01:21:46,937 --> 01:21:48,376
Carriage No. 2149D was rolled out
of its protective building
1019
01:21:48,799 --> 01:21:50,791
to the precise spot it
occupied on 11 Nov 1919.
1020
01:22:00,197 --> 01:22:00,646
1940 FRANCE
1021
01:22:00,681 --> 01:22:02,418
France asked
Hitler for an armistice.
1022
01:22:06,395 --> 01:22:10,124
Shortly before 3 o'clock, on
the afternoon of June 21st, 1940,
1023
01:22:10,971 --> 01:22:12,697
he arrived in the
forest of Compiegne.
1024
01:22:17,104 --> 01:22:20,142
Hitler himself took the seat
where Marshall Foch had sat.
1025
01:22:20,849 --> 01:22:24,544
The French delegation led by General
Huntziger followed closely behind.
1026
01:22:26,777 --> 01:22:28,688
When the French
delegation entered the carriage,
1027
01:22:29,393 --> 01:22:31,965
Hitler could fully relish
the peak of his career.
1028
01:22:33,021 --> 01:22:34,507
Long ago on entering politics,
1029
01:22:35,155 --> 01:22:39,506
he had sworn never to rest until the shame
of November 1918 had been wiped out.
1030
01:22:40,617 --> 01:22:41,646
Now, he had done it.
1031
01:22:42,346 --> 01:22:44,945
But the dream of his lifetime,
he said, had been fulfilled.
1032
01:22:46,153 --> 01:22:47,929
1940 BERLIN
1033
01:23:03,175 --> 01:23:05,710
Berlin greeted him
with flowers of jubilation.
1034
01:23:06,694 --> 01:23:10,840
Hitler's triumphal return to Berlin,
sent a flood of respect and adulation.
1035
01:23:14,413 --> 01:23:15,784
"The church
bells rang all day,
1036
01:23:16,848 --> 01:23:21,295
and the mood of elation really
penetrated throughout the country."
1037
01:23:25,919 --> 01:23:31,064
"My feelings towards Hitler were such
as if he were some super human being
1038
01:23:31,486 --> 01:23:35,211
between man and a
God, sent by Providence."
1039
01:24:01,130 --> 01:24:05,011
This was the man who had obliterated
the humiliation of The First World War.
1040
01:24:09,027 --> 01:24:10,763
The same day in a speech at the Reichstag
Hitler presented Britain
1041
01:24:11,131 --> 01:24:12,426
with yet another offer
of peace.
1042
01:24:18,994 --> 01:24:20,506
LONDON, ENGLAND
1043
01:24:27,508 --> 01:24:29,452
Secret government documents reveal
that a British received
1044
01:24:29,828 --> 01:24:31,796
over a dozen offers of peace
between 1939 and 1941,
1045
01:24:32,260 --> 01:24:34,484
despite their desperate military
straits after the evacuation at Dunkirk.
1046
01:24:36,436 --> 01:24:38,616
Prime Minister Winston Churchill however
would have none of it.
1047
01:24:39,232 --> 01:24:41,165
Because he is aware Britain cannot
defeat Germany alone,
1048
01:24:41,533 --> 01:24:43,670
he will do his utmost to drag
the US into the war.
1049
01:24:59,709 --> 01:25:02,292
It will however mean the eventual
loss of the British Empire.
1050
01:25:07,730 --> 01:25:09,191
1940 BRITAIN
1051
01:25:11,393 --> 01:25:16,618
Germany was absolutely in a
position to direct the course of the war.
1052
01:25:17,128 --> 01:25:20,223
All we had to defeat now,
we believed, was Britain.
1053
01:25:21,867 --> 01:25:23,510
The German fighter
ace, Adolf Galland,
1054
01:25:23,971 --> 01:25:26,306
also thinks the next
priority is the Battle of Britain,
1055
01:25:26,897 --> 01:25:30,386
but when he meets Hitler, he discovers
that the Führer's priorities are different.
1056
01:25:33,215 --> 01:25:38,558
Galland: "I told him that our good time
would come, and we could bomb London
1057
01:25:39,036 --> 01:25:41,475
and the fighters could... the
English fighters couldn't take off.
1058
01:25:41,924 --> 01:25:44,372
He said "No, no,
no, no... stop this.
1059
01:25:45,372 --> 01:25:46,243
I don't like this.
1060
01:25:47,148 --> 01:25:50,036
I really don't like the
fight against England.
1061
01:25:50,490 --> 01:25:54,012
The English people are so
similar people to the Germans,
1062
01:25:54,940 --> 01:25:59,907
and I have the highest respect for
the English building up an empire.
1063
01:26:01,219 --> 01:26:03,532
So, you must understand,
1064
01:26:03,956 --> 01:26:07,644
I'm forced to fight this fight
against England, but I don't like it."
1065
01:26:11,571 --> 01:26:16,203
I think that he himself had not
got any great wish to engage
1066
01:26:16,619 --> 01:26:21,493
on an invasion of Britain, because
all the time by now we know,
1067
01:26:21,891 --> 01:26:24,761
he was already beginning to get
itchy, and wanting to turn eastwards,
1068
01:26:25,595 --> 01:26:26,681
after defeating France.
1069
01:26:27,806 --> 01:26:28,942
But Goering insisted
1070
01:26:29,357 --> 01:26:32,860
that with the Luftwaffe, with the Air
Force alone, he could knock Britain out.
1071
01:26:33,986 --> 01:26:35,724
So he gave him his head
to try.
1072
01:26:45,437 --> 01:26:47,746
Initially, Hitler had insisted that only
military installations were to be bombed.
1073
01:26:49,938 --> 01:26:51,671
However, on 4 Sept 1940, he explained
in a speech to the Reichstag,
1074
01:26:52,047 --> 01:26:54,589
way after months of British targeting
German civilians in nightly bombing raids,
1075
01:26:55,047 --> 01:26:56,982
he now has no choice but to
retaliate in kind.
1076
01:26:58,430 --> 01:27:00,181
"While the German planes fly over
English land day by day
1077
01:27:00,591 --> 01:27:02,910
no Englishman has managed to so much
as cross the North Sea by daylight.
1078
01:27:04,171 --> 01:27:05,785
That is way they come at night
and drop their bombs,
1079
01:27:06,202 --> 01:27:08,254
you know it well, indiscriminately
and on civilian residents,
1080
01:27:08,583 --> 01:27:09,582
farms and villages.
1081
01:27:10,006 --> 01:27:11,892
Wherever they see a light,
they drop a bomb.
1082
01:27:13,530 --> 01:27:15,299
I did not answer for three months
because I was of an opinion
1083
01:27:15,832 --> 01:27:16,900
they would stop this nonsense.
1084
01:27:17,299 --> 01:27:19,340
Mr. Churchill perceived this as a sign
of our weakness.
1085
01:27:21,588 --> 01:27:24,291
You will surely understand that we are
now giving our answers night after night,
1086
01:27:24,996 --> 01:27:26,748
and this at an increasing rate."
1087
01:28:25,850 --> 01:28:27,802
To be continued
1088
01:28:34,215 --> 01:28:36,273
Part 7
Adolf Hitler - The Gretest Story NEVER Told!
1089
01:28:37,609 --> 01:28:40,471
Hello America, this is Edward
Murrow speaking from London.
1090
01:28:41,256 --> 01:28:43,342
There were more German planes
over the coast of Britain today
1091
01:28:43,694 --> 01:28:44,934
than at any time
since the war begun.
1092
01:28:49,771 --> 01:28:51,981
Despite the British Empire's vast
resources, and vast the millions of
1093
01:28:52,461 --> 01:28:54,133
men at her disposal, including...
1094
01:28:54,606 --> 01:28:55,599
1 million Australians
1095
01:28:56,039 --> 01:28:57,239
2 million Indians
1096
01:28:57,676 --> 01:28:58,845
1 million Canadians
1097
01:28:59,672 --> 01:29:02,169
... Churchill and Roosevelt will push
for the US to enter the war.
1098
01:29:03,762 --> 01:29:05,881
However, polls consistently show
that ordinary Americans have no
1099
01:29:06,290 --> 01:29:09,984
wish to be involved in what to
them is yet another Europian civil war.
1100
01:29:21,423 --> 01:29:23,063
In spite on this, Roosevelt will now
force laws through Congress
1101
01:29:23,455 --> 01:29:25,183
making a mockery of the US's
supposed neutrality.
1102
01:29:27,571 --> 01:29:29,393
in favor of one-sided supply of arms
to Germany's enemies.
1103
01:29:30,288 --> 01:29:32,320
The same year, Roosevelt freezes all
assets of defeated European countries,
1104
01:29:32,702 --> 01:29:34,792
refusing to recognise their
recognise their new governments.
1105
01:29:43,675 --> 01:29:45,475
The "Destroyers for US Bases" agreement
is passed, whereby 50 reconditioned
1106
01:29:45,835 --> 01:29:47,419
US Navy destroyers are transfered to
the Royal Navy
1107
01:29:47,761 --> 01:29:48,890
in exchange for British bases
in the Caribbean.
1108
01:29:49,473 --> 01:29:50,984
Roosevelt will persuade congress to
pass the Lend-Lease Act
1109
01:29:51,385 --> 01:29:53,089
which officially ends his pretense
of being neutral.
1110
01:29:53,480 --> 01:29:55,996
He will also allow American citizens
to enter the British Air Force.
1111
01:29:58,187 --> 01:30:00,601
Roosevelt freezes all German assets in the US,
a violation of international law.
1112
01:30:01,161 --> 01:30:03,425
The US announces an oil embargo
against "aggressor" nations.
1113
01:30:04,053 --> 01:30:05,902
$ 1 billion dollars in Lend-Lease aid
is sent to Britain.
1114
01:30:06,668 --> 01:30:08,547
The US will eventually ship a total of
$ 31.4 billion worth of supplies,
1115
01:30:08,865 --> 01:30:10,871
the equivalent of $ 445 billion
in today's money.
1116
01:30:11,365 --> 01:30:12,724
The loans will take Britain 61 years
to repay,
1117
01:30:13,101 --> 01:30:15,486
with the last installment made
in 2006.
1118
01:30:22,413 --> 01:30:28,085
By an overwhelming majority congress
passed Lend-Lease... bill number 1776.
1119
01:30:29,211 --> 01:30:33,490
I've asked this congress
for authority and for funds,
1120
01:30:34,315 --> 01:30:40,282
sufficient to manufacture additional
munitions and war supplies of many kinds,
1121
01:30:40,890 --> 01:30:45,963
to be turned over to those
nations which are now in actual war,
1122
01:30:46,847 --> 01:30:49,104
with aggressor nations.
1123
01:30:50,001 --> 01:30:51,943
Our most useful
and immediate roll,
1124
01:30:52,823 --> 01:30:57,965
is to act as an arsenal for
them as well as for ourselves.
1125
01:30:58,959 --> 01:31:06,167
We shall send in ever increasing
numbers: ships, planes, tanks, guns.
1126
01:31:06,727 --> 01:31:09,693
That is our purpose
and our pledge.
1127
01:31:13,685 --> 01:31:15,460
The enormous amount of US funds,
1128
01:31:15,764 --> 01:31:17,429
along with the covert US operations
in the Atlantic
1129
01:31:17,835 --> 01:31:19,291
help Britain sustain the war
against Germany.
1130
01:31:19,292 --> 01:31:20,292
The quick knockout blow Göring
had hoped for now seemed unlikely,
1131
01:31:20,293 --> 01:31:22,962
and the Battle of Britain will shortly
give way to a more important fight.
1132
01:31:24,087 --> 01:31:26,068
Hitler will now concentrate on the battle
he believes will eventually
1133
01:31:26,541 --> 01:31:28,300
the outcome of World War Two.
1134
01:31:29,259 --> 01:31:31,195
On 11 December 1941, he gives a speech
describing the growing Soviet menace.
1135
01:31:32,385 --> 01:31:34,441
"Already in 1940 it became increasingly
clear from month to month
1136
01:31:34,856 --> 01:31:36,864
that the plans of the Kremlin
were aimed at the domination,
1137
01:31:36,885 --> 01:31:38,738
and thus the destruction of Europe.
1138
01:31:38,868 --> 01:31:40,960
Only a blind person could fail to see
that a military build-up of
1139
01:31:41,304 --> 01:31:43,575
unique world-historical proportions
was being carried out."
1140
01:31:44,880 --> 01:31:47,718
Clearly the Soviet Union had
been expanding West.
1141
01:31:47,744 --> 01:31:49,216
30 November 1939- Finland is atacked.
1142
01:31:49,696 --> 01:31:51,272
21 February 1940- Sweden is bombed.
1143
01:31:52,335 --> 01:31:53,993
18 June 1940- Estonia, Latvia, Lithuaia
are invaded.
1144
01:31:55,921 --> 01:31:58,313
27 June 1940- Romania is forced by Stalin
to surrender Bessarabia.
1145
01:32:12,676 --> 01:32:14,801
Hitler feels that not only is Germany
in grave danger,
1146
01:32:15,049 --> 01:32:16,794
but indeed the whole of Europe.
1147
01:32:16,795 --> 01:32:18,625
He knows the horrors the
Bolsheviks will bring.
1148
01:32:19,463 --> 01:32:21,788
Rather than wait, after meeting with
his generals, Hitler will now plan
1149
01:32:22,227 --> 01:32:23,963
a pre-emptive strike against the
Soviet Union,
1150
01:32:24,402 --> 01:32:26,250
in what will be known as
Operation Barbarossa.
1151
01:32:26,739 --> 01:32:28,402
To understand Hitler's fears for Europe,
we must first look at
1152
01:32:28,914 --> 01:32:30,600
the Bolshevik regime and Stalin,
the man President Roosevelt
1153
01:32:30,992 --> 01:32:33,358
would affectionately call "Uncle Joe".
1154
01:32:43,025 --> 01:32:44,841
STALIN
1155
01:32:48,926 --> 01:32:51,023
Stalin came to power
on the death of Lenin,
1156
01:32:51,464 --> 01:32:53,814
and ruled the Soviet
Union by fear and torture
1157
01:32:54,232 --> 01:32:55,824
for nearly the next 30 years.
1158
01:32:56,670 --> 01:32:57,619
During that time,
1159
01:32:58,080 --> 01:33:01,951
he was responsible for some
40 million deaths.
1160
01:33:13,870 --> 01:33:17,319
Stalin spent his first years in
power consolidating his position.
1161
01:33:18,212 --> 01:33:22,332
He managed to sideline Trotsky,
whom he perceived as his major rival.
1162
01:33:32,748 --> 01:33:37,467
In 1929 Stalin implemented a
policy known as collectivization.
1163
01:33:39,611 --> 01:33:43,426
Lenin's experiment in nationalizing
the land had remained half finished,
1164
01:33:44,071 --> 01:33:46,993
and Russian peasants were
still working their own land
1165
01:33:47,367 --> 01:33:49,167
and selling their own
produce in the markets.
1166
01:33:58,920 --> 01:34:00,355
By means of collectivization,
1167
01:34:00,834 --> 01:34:03,027
Stalin meant to complete Lenin's
initiative,
1168
01:34:03,552 --> 01:34:07,815
and to take away all of the peasants
lands and produce in the name of the state.
1169
01:34:09,776 --> 01:34:14,217
In 1930, peasant's produce
began to be collected up.
1170
01:34:15,311 --> 01:34:20,289
The Red Army one-by-one seized
the produce from every single field.
1171
01:34:28,762 --> 01:34:31,938
Some peasants managed to hide
their goods rather than give them up,
1172
01:34:33,041 --> 01:34:36,489
but communist party officials
searched every nook and cranny
1173
01:34:37,039 --> 01:34:39,237
eventually discovering
the hiding places.
1174
01:34:47,556 --> 01:34:50,957
The officials also seized the
peasant's agricultural equipment.
1175
01:34:52,085 --> 01:34:56,709
The peasants were left with nothing to
eat, and nothing to work the soil with.
1176
01:35:04,293 --> 01:35:07,655
Eventually, that catastrophe that
Lenin had described
1177
01:35:07,991 --> 01:35:09,972
as the most useful for communism
1178
01:35:10,291 --> 01:35:12,724
raised its head again... famine.
1179
01:35:18,478 --> 01:35:23,330
In Ukraine alone, 6 million people
starved over the next few years.
1180
01:35:24,074 --> 01:35:28,978
2 million died in Kazakhstan and
1 million in northern Caucasus.
1181
01:35:30,742 --> 01:35:33,681
Children reduced to skin
and bone died in agony.
1182
01:35:36,332 --> 01:35:41,493
There was another ghastly result of the
famine inspired by Stalin - cannibalism.
1183
01:35:42,246 --> 01:35:45,125
Peasants maddened by
hunger began to eat corpses.
1184
01:35:46,981 --> 01:35:48,667
Then an even
worse horror emerged,
1185
01:35:49,587 --> 01:35:52,196
some peasants had kidnapped
children and eaten them.
1186
01:36:01,803 --> 01:36:05,764
In front of these two Russian
peasants caught eating human flesh,
1187
01:36:06,347 --> 01:36:08,954
lay the remains of the
children they had snatched.
1188
01:36:17,145 --> 01:36:20,863
Stalin's regime had turned
human beings into savage animals
1189
01:36:21,351 --> 01:36:23,670
just as communism had intended.
1190
01:36:38,087 --> 01:36:42,392
Everyone who opposed Stalin's
collectivization policy paid with his life.
1191
01:36:44,295 --> 01:36:47,645
Tens of thousands of Kulaks
were detained and shot.
1192
01:36:59,990 --> 01:37:00,885
In actual fact,
1193
01:37:01,485 --> 01:37:06,365
the regime branded everyone it saw
as opposed to its ideology as Kulaks.
1194
01:37:07,845 --> 01:37:11,283
Large numbers of priests and even
members of their congregations,
1195
01:37:11,747 --> 01:37:14,826
who attended church
frequently were arrested as Kulaks.
1196
01:37:15,458 --> 01:37:16,626
Some were executed.
1197
01:37:18,228 --> 01:37:19,945
Others were sent to the labor camps,
1198
01:37:20,583 --> 01:37:23,270
where a slow lingering death
awaited them.
1199
01:37:24,578 --> 01:37:26,506
These camps were
set up all over Russia
1200
01:37:27,050 --> 01:37:30,004
and were simply another
of Stalin's killing machines.
1201
01:37:33,714 --> 01:37:38,156
Millions of people regarded as enemies
of the state were worked to death in them
1202
01:37:38,443 --> 01:37:40,387
under the most
terrible conditions.
1203
01:37:41,425 --> 01:37:44,810
Some were put to work laboring
on canals in the blazing heat,
1204
01:37:45,610 --> 01:37:49,499
others were sent off to break
rocks in the freezing cold of Siberia.
1205
01:37:50,787 --> 01:37:55,331
These people, forced to perform hard
labor under the worst possible conditions,
1206
01:37:56,032 --> 01:37:58,536
soon turned into living skeletons.
1207
01:37:59,368 --> 01:38:01,731
The great majority
never left the camps alive.
1208
01:38:05,698 --> 01:38:11,450
The Soviet Union, like every communist
country, was an economic basket case.
1209
01:38:11,980 --> 01:38:14,750
It could not produce
enough to survive.
1210
01:38:15,367 --> 01:38:20,630
And so, every communist / socialist
state has been dependent upon aid from
1211
01:38:21,901 --> 01:38:23,517
the capitalist producing states.
1212
01:38:23,965 --> 01:38:29,964
So, Russia was desperate for our aid,
both in terms of direct government aid,
1213
01:38:30,474 --> 01:38:34,491
but also in terms of opening up the
spigots for private capital markets,
1214
01:38:35,138 --> 01:38:40,122
particularly New York bankers and corpor-
ations to move into Russia in a big way.
1215
01:38:41,705 --> 01:38:46,892
In 1933 the Roosevelt administration invited
a Soviet representative to Washington
1216
01:38:47,434 --> 01:38:50,331
to negotiate terms of
diplomatic recognition.
1217
01:39:01,157 --> 01:39:02,272
Number of Deaths in Ukraine
1218
01:39:03,354 --> 01:39:05,080
1941 POLAND
1219
01:39:07,748 --> 01:39:10,077
Hans Frank is appointed
governor-general of Poland
1220
01:39:10,484 --> 01:39:13,139
and the country disappears from
the headlines of the world press.
1221
01:39:15,466 --> 01:39:17,949
Jews must wear the Star of David
on their arm,
1222
01:39:18,621 --> 01:39:20,126
not carry it in their pocket.
1223
01:39:21,096 --> 01:39:24,366
In Warsaw there is a
streetcar exclusively for Jews.
1224
01:39:26,777 --> 01:39:30,941
A district a mile and a half
square is transformed into a ghetto.
1225
01:39:31,916 --> 01:39:34,044
There is condemnation from the Allies
over the Jewish ghetto,
1226
01:39:34,418 --> 01:39:36,755
and yet it bears no comparison to
the many black ghettos in Amerika,
1227
01:39:37,090 --> 01:39:39,255
a country where Negroes were still
being lynched, and hanged from trees.
1228
01:39:39,495 --> 01:39:41,215
Britain's record on the "human rights"
of the subjects in her many colonies
1229
01:39:41,576 --> 01:39:43,616
is likewise cruel and racist.
1230
01:39:54,269 --> 01:39:55,686
Winston Churchill served in the Boer War
when thousends of women and children
1231
01:39:56,086 --> 01:39:59,209
were left to starve in British
concentration camps.
1232
01:39:59,310 --> 01:40:01,680
No one was ever brought to account for
the many crimes against humanity in...
1233
01:40:02,241 --> 01:40:02,950
India
1234
01:40:03,389 --> 01:40:04,293
Africa
1235
01:40:04,645 --> 01:40:05,675
Australia
1236
01:40:06,106 --> 01:40:08,146
... or for the mass drugging of the
population of China in the Opium Wars.
1237
01:40:12,181 --> 01:40:13,261
MEXICAN REPATRIATION ACT
1238
01:40:13,741 --> 01:40:15,792
In the US, the years between 1929
and 1939 saw the forced deportation
1239
01:40:16,118 --> 01:40:18,758
of 2 million Mexicans, as first
authorised by Presdent Herbert Hoover.
1240
01:40:19,160 --> 01:40:21,007
Of those, 1.2 million were born
American citizens.
1241
01:40:32,417 --> 01:40:35,248
The final US Army massacre of the "Indians"
occurs, at Wounded Knee, South Dakota.
1242
01:40:35,967 --> 01:40:37,665
By 1924, they are almost completely
wiped out.
1243
01:40:37,700 --> 01:40:38,903
Children that survive are sent to
boarding schools for re-education,
1244
01:40:39,242 --> 01:40:40,516
where teachers are instructed to...
1245
01:40:40,948 --> 01:40:42,793
"kill the Indian in them"
1246
01:40:58,667 --> 01:40:59,996
AMERICAN RACISM
1247
01:41:00,577 --> 01:41:02,014
Throughout World War Two and up
until the 1960's,
1248
01:41:02,404 --> 01:41:04,077
a majority of American States
enforced segregation
1249
01:41:04,445 --> 01:41:05,932
trough the use of "Jim Crow" laws.
1250
01:41:06,491 --> 01:41:08,290
States could impose legal punishment
on those
1251
01:41:08,860 --> 01:41:10,373
consorting with members of
different race.
1252
01:41:11,092 --> 01:41:12,851
The most common types of laws
forbade intermarriage,
1253
01:41:13,146 --> 01:41:15,529
and mandated that businesses and
public institutions
1254
01:41:15,814 --> 01:41:16,885
segregate blacks and whites.
1255
01:41:17,423 --> 01:41:18,812
Here is just a sampling of the
various State laws:
1256
01:41:19,517 --> 01:41:20,563
ARIZONA
1257
01:41:20,588 --> 01:41:22,306
Intermarriage:
The marriage of a person with Caucasian
1258
01:41:22,341 --> 01:41:24,935
blood with a Negro, Mongolian, Malaysian,
or Hindu shall be null and void.
1259
01:41:25,996 --> 01:41:27,497
FLORIDA
Cohabitation:
1260
01:41:28,665 --> 01:41:30,457
Any Negroes or White person who are
not married to each other,
1261
01:41:30,977 --> 01:41:32,038
and occupy the nighttime in the
same room, shell be
1262
01:41:32,411 --> 01:41:34,273
punished by imprisonment or fine.
1263
01:41:34,373 --> 01:41:35,171
MISSOURI
1264
01:41:35,680 --> 01:41:36,601
Intermarriage:
1265
01:41:37,521 --> 01:41:39,225
All marriages between... White persons
and Negroes or Mongolians
1266
01:41:39,617 --> 01:41:40,873
are prohibited and declared
absolutely void.
1267
01:41:57,170 --> 01:41:59,634
President Franklin D. Roosevelt had time
and time again resisted any
1268
01:42:00,251 --> 01:42:02,250
Republican Party efforts to pass
a Federal law prohibiting lynching.
1269
01:42:12,530 --> 01:42:14,699
In 1922, future President Harry Truman
joined the Ku Klux Klan.
1270
01:42:30,961 --> 01:42:33,568
1936 BERLIN
THE MYTH OF THE OLYMPIC GAMES
1271
01:42:37,911 --> 01:42:39,774
Anti-Germn propaganda in the US
claim that a furious Hitler
1272
01:42:40,183 --> 01:42:42,038
had ignored four-time Olympic gold
medalist Jesse Owens.
1273
01:42:42,694 --> 01:42:44,142
In his 1970 autobiography Owens
wrote:
1274
01:42:44,742 --> 01:42:46,359
"When I passed the Chancellor he arose,
waved his hand at me,
1275
01:42:46,772 --> 01:42:48,076
and I waved back at him.
I think the writers shoved
1276
01:42:48,444 --> 01:42:50,092
bad taste in criticism the man
of the hour in Germany."
1277
01:42:57,482 --> 01:42:59,147
On his return to the US, Owens will
not be invited to the White House.
1278
01:42:59,507 --> 01:43:01,453
He later said, "Hitler didn't snub me -
it was FDR who snubbed me.
1279
01:43:01,852 --> 01:43:03,404
The President didn't even send
me a telegram.
1280
01:43:04,267 --> 01:43:07,030
The Olympic champion later had to
make a living by racing horses.
1281
01:43:17,981 --> 01:43:19,621
In 1960, almost a quarter of a century
later, a young Casius Clay
1282
01:43:20,028 --> 01:43:21,357
threw his Olympic gold medal into
the Ohio river
1283
01:43:21,789 --> 01:43:23,229
after a waitress in a resturant
told him...
1284
01:43:30,839 --> 01:43:32,605
"We don't serve Niggers here."
1285
01:43:39,022 --> 01:43:41,326
To be continued
1286
01:43:45,587 --> 01:43:48,036
Part 8
Adolf Hitler - The Gretest Story NEVER Told!
1287
01:43:52,986 --> 01:43:54,728
Italy, which had allied with Germany
in 1940, was now fighting
1288
01:43:55,180 --> 01:43:56,802
the British in Greece and in
the Middle East.
1289
01:43:57,786 --> 01:43:59,671
War had broken out in the Balkans,
where the worst atrocites
1290
01:44:00,087 --> 01:44:01,624
of World War Two would
soon take place.
1291
01:44:02,428 --> 01:44:03,896
Before Germany could invade
the Soviet Union,
1292
01:44:04,295 --> 01:44:05,839
Hitler would first have to send
the Vehrmacht
1293
01:44:06,205 --> 01:44:07,677
to help secure these regions.
1294
01:44:08,236 --> 01:44:09,653
Within six weeks, the British would
be forced
1295
01:44:10,093 --> 01:44:11,740
to retreat from both Greece
and the Middle East.
1296
01:44:12,822 --> 01:44:14,493
In Yugoslavia, the British-backed
government is quickly overthrown.
1297
01:44:15,045 --> 01:44:16,724
Croatia is now independent for the
first time in 900 years.
1298
01:44:17,310 --> 01:44:19,769
To this day, many Croats honour
Adolf Hitler as a liberator.
1299
01:44:26,393 --> 01:44:28,409
THE JAPANESE CONFLICT
1300
01:44:33,291 --> 01:44:34,680
Troughout the 1930's Japan has been
at war with China.
1301
01:44:36,656 --> 01:44:38,151
When Japan allied with Germany and
Italy in 1940,
1302
01:44:38,663 --> 01:44:40,166
the new Vichy French government
consented to the
1303
01:44:40,565 --> 01:44:42,165
Japanese occupation of France's
Indochina colonies.
1304
01:44:42,894 --> 01:44:44,574
The British Empire however, which also
had colonies in the region,
1305
01:44:44,966 --> 01:44:47,898
together with the US froze Japan's
assets in July 1941.
1306
01:44:54,649 --> 01:44:56,552
NEW YORK TIMES, 26 JULY 1941
1307
01:44:57,025 --> 01:44:59,072
"The measures, in effect, bring all financial
and import and export trade transactions
1308
01:45:00,409 --> 01:45:02,625
in which Japanese inerests are involved
under the kontrol of the US government."
1309
01:45:11,712 --> 01:45:13,592
On 1 August 1941, Roosevelt -
still looking for a way to enter the war -
1310
01:45:14,039 --> 01:45:16,979
forced an oil embrgo on Japan,
an intentional act of hostility.
1311
01:45:17,642 --> 01:45:20,124
Both these actions were taken before
fateful December 7 Pearl Harbour attack.
1312
01:45:21,068 --> 01:45:22,084
The results:
1313
01:45:23,407 --> 01:45:24,824
Japan lost access to 75 % of her
oversaes trade
1314
01:45:25,237 --> 01:45:26,581
and 88 % of her imported oil.
1315
01:45:26,950 --> 01:45:28,638
Soon there be insufficient resources
to continue war with China.
1316
01:45:30,806 --> 01:45:33,078
To try and resolve this the Japanese
entered into negotiations with US officias,
1317
01:45:33,565 --> 01:45:36,310
who demanded that Japan first withdraw
from China before the embargoes would end.
1318
01:45:38,094 --> 01:45:40,829
The Japanese would never permit themselves
to be humbled in such a way...
1319
01:45:41,692 --> 01:45:43,620
... a fact which Roosevelt must
have known.
1320
01:46:05,921 --> 01:46:08,167
In his book "Icebreaker", Russian historian
Victor Suvorov gives compelling proff
1321
01:46:08,647 --> 01:46:10,511
that Hitler was forced into a reluctant
pre-emptive strike
1322
01:46:10,910 --> 01:46:12,129
against massive Soviet military
machine
1323
01:46:12,537 --> 01:46:14,201
poised to invade whole of
Western Europe.
1324
01:46:15,233 --> 01:46:16,970
Suvorov quotes top secret Soviet
documents which make it crystal clear
1325
01:46:17,368 --> 01:46:19,561
that Soviet military was being built
as an offensive force.
1326
01:46:21,408 --> 01:46:23,225
The collateral damage inflicted on the
eleven Europaan countries
1327
01:46:23,689 --> 01:46:25,495
involved in Hitler's defensive measures
against Britain and France
1328
01:46:25,919 --> 01:46:27,431
had created an unprecedented situation
where their armies,
1329
01:46:27,846 --> 01:46:29,697
governments, and political parties
had been destryed.
1330
01:46:30,743 --> 01:46:32,399
Now with Europe totaly exposed,
Stalin is hoping Germany will
1331
01:46:32,799 --> 01:46:34,380
expand the war by sending
troops to Britain.
1332
01:46:35,989 --> 01:46:37,733
Instead, he is caught completely off
guard as 3 million soldiers
1333
01:46:38,158 --> 01:46:39,955
prepare to invade the atheisti Soviet
Union wearing
1334
01:46:40,331 --> 01:46:42,587
belt buckles engraved with the words...
Gott Mit Uns
1335
01:46:56,874 --> 01:46:58,214
From the Balic to the Black Sea
1336
01:46:58,839 --> 01:47:02,009
three million German soldiers,
are moving into position
1337
01:47:02,073 --> 01:47:02,951
22 JUNE 1941
OPERATION BARBAROSSA
1338
01:47:02,986 --> 01:47:04,549
to launch Operation
Barbarossa.
1339
01:47:06,796 --> 01:47:09,955
It's the most brutal conflict
between two nations in recorded history,
1340
01:47:10,572 --> 01:47:11,528
is about to begin.
1341
01:47:30,761 --> 01:47:34,674
On the first day of Barbarossa
alone, 1.200 Soviet aircraft
1342
01:47:35,009 --> 01:47:37,137
are destroyed in a single strike.
1343
01:47:46,135 --> 01:47:50,771
Panzer units sweeping East, are
already deep inside Soviet territory.
1344
01:47:54,311 --> 01:47:56,572
Chaos multiplies the catastrophe.
1345
01:47:59,950 --> 01:48:01,153
Without orders from the Kremlin,
1346
01:48:01,674 --> 01:48:04,290
Red Army field Commanders lose
control of their units.
1347
01:48:07,440 --> 01:48:11,837
Dazed, cut off, surrounded,
thousands of Soviet soldiers surrender.
1348
01:48:14,780 --> 01:48:17,497
And at the height of the
Wehrmacht's furious onslaught,
1349
01:48:18,299 --> 01:48:20,387
Stalin disappears completely.
1350
01:48:24,445 --> 01:48:27,234
He has every reason
to hide from his people.
1351
01:48:29,496 --> 01:48:31,081
Captured German news real
footage,
1352
01:48:31,800 --> 01:48:34,470
shows Soviet frontier troops
overwhelmed.
1353
01:48:34,964 --> 01:48:37,418
A retreat under fire in total confusion.
1354
01:48:41,591 --> 01:48:43,433
Whole formations surrendering.
1355
01:48:44,546 --> 01:48:48,696
Hundreds of thousands of men
entangled with fleeing civilians
1356
01:48:49,033 --> 01:48:51,456
in scenes of Biblical disorder.
1357
01:48:54,177 --> 01:48:57,928
Yet, there are some Soviet
citizens who welcome the invader.
1358
01:49:00,512 --> 01:49:03,427
To many in the Ukraine,
the arrival of the Germans
1359
01:49:03,519 --> 01:49:06,888
is a heaven sent opportunity
to throw off Stalin's yoke.
1360
01:49:08,168 --> 01:49:10,398
Local women bless the
Germans as they pass.
1361
01:49:21,050 --> 01:49:25,059
Their men folk destroy reminders of
a man who has terrorized them for years.
1362
01:49:35,379 --> 01:49:39,186
Stalin is above all stunned by the
shear speed of the German advance.
1363
01:49:40,978 --> 01:49:42,574
Still the Germans drive East.
1364
01:49:43,239 --> 01:49:46,294
They're at the outskirts of Kiev,
Smolensk, and Leningrad.
1365
01:49:57,598 --> 01:50:01,765
Yet fierce pockets of Red Army
resistance fight on behind enemy lines.
1366
01:50:04,822 --> 01:50:06,046
The fortress city of Brisk.
1367
01:50:11,421 --> 01:50:13,982
The besieged Red Army
garrison fights on and on,
1368
01:50:14,765 --> 01:50:17,781
for more than a month until they
are finally compelled to surrender.
1369
01:50:18,973 --> 01:50:21,676
Hitler is so impressed by the
tenacity of the Russian troops,
1370
01:50:22,228 --> 01:50:27,179
that he exercises rare clemency.
Only one survivor is shot.
1371
01:50:28,188 --> 01:50:31,149
The Political Officer at
the fortress Mikhail Fomin.
1372
01:50:32,380 --> 01:50:35,709
The Führer sights the defense
of Brest as an heroic effort.
1373
01:50:36,365 --> 01:50:38,189
An example to his own soldiers.
1374
01:50:41,477 --> 01:50:43,287
And he visits the fortress
with Mussolini,
1375
01:50:43,936 --> 01:50:45,960
to acknowledge a hard earned victory.
1376
01:50:49,164 --> 01:50:52,012
But for Stalin, the defenders
of Brest are not heroes.
1377
01:50:52,901 --> 01:50:55,613
Years later, after they're
released from German capture,
1378
01:50:56,388 --> 01:50:58,387
he will send
survivors to the Gulag.
1379
01:51:01,009 --> 01:51:04,623
The Wehrmacht's rapid relentless
advance seems unstoppable.
1380
01:51:06,511 --> 01:51:08,226
Traveling at up
to 50 miles a day,
1381
01:51:09,053 --> 01:51:12,323
Panzer divisions are already
approaching the heart of Stalin's empire.
1382
01:51:14,485 --> 01:51:15,585
And in the middle of July,
1383
01:51:16,193 --> 01:51:20,029
Stalin is forced to consider offering
the Germans a negotiated peace.
1384
01:51:21,102 --> 01:51:23,326
While Stalin contemplates
a way out of the war,
1385
01:51:24,082 --> 01:51:27,076
he is drawing up plans to punish
his own troops if they surrender.
1386
01:51:27,995 --> 01:51:32,595
In a desperate attempt to halt
the route, he issues order No. 270.
1387
01:51:33,568 --> 01:51:36,288
All officers and Political Officials
taken prisoner at the front,
1388
01:51:36,881 --> 01:51:38,176
are to be considered traitors.
1389
01:51:38,864 --> 01:51:40,610
If ever they return to the Soviet
Union,
1390
01:51:41,273 --> 01:51:43,593
they will be arrested and executed.
1391
01:51:48,840 --> 01:51:52,151
But the barbarity of order
270 does not stop there.
1392
01:51:54,198 --> 01:51:58,145
The wives of captured troops also
face imprisonment in the Gulag.
1393
01:52:02,777 --> 01:52:04,441
Hitler now forms the Einsatzgruppen
units for the necessry removal
1394
01:52:04,848 --> 01:52:06,465
of the die-hard Bolshevik leadership
and NKVD,
1395
01:52:06,896 --> 01:52:08,222
from all Soviet towns and cities.
1396
01:52:08,718 --> 01:52:09,987
However, on hearing of the German
invasion, many civilians
1397
01:52:10,435 --> 01:52:12,259
refuse to wait and take immediate
revenge on their Communist oppressors
1398
01:52:12,589 --> 01:52:14,066
and associated collaborators.
1399
01:52:46,520 --> 01:52:48,345
Meanwhile, Roosevelt extends the Land-Lease
Act, and sends more financial
1400
01:52:48,821 --> 01:52:50,885
and military aid to the Soviet Union
1401
01:52:51,316 --> 01:52:52,949
to help keep the Communist regime
in the war.
1402
01:52:53,686 --> 01:52:55,789
Stalin is now rumored to have
suffered a breakdown.
1403
01:53:06,508 --> 01:53:08,495
Now with Moscow in
range of the Luftwaffe,
1404
01:53:09,119 --> 01:53:12,743
Stalin's own citadel of power
comes directly under attack.
1405
01:53:13,855 --> 01:53:15,725
German Armies race for the Capital.
1406
01:53:16,957 --> 01:53:19,915
Elsewhere, army group
North heads for Leningrad.
1407
01:53:20,619 --> 01:53:23,546
Army group Center makes a
pincer movement towards Smolensk.
1408
01:53:24,179 --> 01:53:27,611
Army group South strikes
towards Kiev and the Ukraine.
1409
01:53:28,755 --> 01:53:31,307
The suburbs of Kiev,
the beginning of August.
1410
01:53:32,288 --> 01:53:37,904
In a fast pincer movement, German army
group South, threatens to encircle the city.
1411
01:53:39,046 --> 01:53:41,160
During August and the first
two weeks of September,
1412
01:53:41,854 --> 01:53:45,766
the Wehrmacht encircles a vast
area crammed with Red Army troops.
1413
01:53:46,624 --> 01:53:48,205
Four Soviet Armies parish.
1414
01:53:48,930 --> 01:53:51,272
On the 18th of
September the city falls.
1415
01:53:52,907 --> 01:53:55,302
The Führer is now lord
of all he surveys.
1416
01:53:56,134 --> 01:53:58,542
It seems as if he is on
course to meet his objective.
1417
01:53:59,030 --> 01:54:01,839
To crush Stalin's Russia
before winter sets in.
1418
01:54:01,874 --> 01:54:06,054
Leningrad lies ahead of the
Wehrmacht, defenseless.
1419
01:54:07,768 --> 01:54:09,495
As September draws to a close,
1420
01:54:10,430 --> 01:54:15,469
Leningrad is totally cut off with no
land link left to the Soviet Union.
1421
01:54:17,770 --> 01:54:19,271
At the end of September,
1422
01:54:19,371 --> 01:54:22,231
the Führer launches Operation
Typhoon,
1423
01:54:23,136 --> 01:54:25,366
the final drive alone the road
to Moscow.
1424
01:54:26,098 --> 01:54:29,396
14 German tank and 74 infantry
divisions,
1425
01:54:29,980 --> 01:54:32,697
a total of 1.8 million officers and men,
1426
01:54:32,732 --> 01:54:37,082
take part in the offensive.
Stalin has good cause for panic now.
1427
01:54:37,906 --> 01:54:41,002
Facing a disaster that might
sweep away the whole Soviet Union,
1428
01:54:41,569 --> 01:54:44,558
they have one last hope, that
the weather will save them.
1429
01:54:47,982 --> 01:54:51,158
Sleet is turning to snow.
1430
01:54:52,741 --> 01:54:56,452
The ground frozen at night is
now a quagmire during the day,
1431
01:54:56,585 --> 01:54:59,579
paralyzing Hitler's
overstretched war machine.
1432
01:55:00,857 --> 01:55:05,659
On the 2nd of December, German
units reach Krasnaya Polyana,
1433
01:55:05,759 --> 01:55:08,760
17 miles from the
center of Moscow.
1434
01:55:08,860 --> 01:55:13,311
As the weather intensifies
and temperatures plummet,
1435
01:55:13,411 --> 01:55:17,863
the bleak truth is time
turns decisively against them.
1436
01:55:20,215 --> 01:55:21,900
5 DAYS LATER...
1437
01:55:24,924 --> 01:55:27,461
AND AFTER 5 MONTHS OF US SANCTIONS...
1438
01:55:31,596 --> 01:55:32,908
PEARL HARBOUR, HAWAII
7 DECEMBER 1941
1439
01:55:32,943 --> 01:55:35,170
Two Army Privates running
the Opana radar station,
1440
01:55:35,270 --> 01:55:37,771
are suddenly startled
by blips on the screen.
1441
01:55:37,871 --> 01:55:39,872
Fifty planes headed for Owahu.
1442
01:55:39,972 --> 01:55:44,574
Immediately they report the sightings
to the Army Operations Center.
1443
01:55:44,674 --> 01:55:47,858
They're dismissed as US planes
coming from the mainland.
1444
01:55:52,777 --> 01:55:55,719
Aircraft designated for the
second wave of the attack take off.
1445
01:55:55,778 --> 01:55:57,979
Messenger boy Tadao Fuchikami,
1446
01:55:58,079 --> 01:56:01,412
picks up General Marshall's urgent
cable for delivery to General Short.
1447
01:56:04,682 --> 01:56:07,860
Commander Fuchida's first
wave armada is on course.
1448
01:56:13,185 --> 01:56:16,586
Sleepy-eyed sailors and Marines,
their breakfast getting cold,
1449
01:56:16,686 --> 01:56:20,388
mistake the attack for some
crazy kind of air raid drill.
1450
01:56:20,488 --> 01:56:23,289
They think the
planes are American.
1451
01:56:24,990 --> 01:56:30,292
At 7:55 AM, dive bombers
hit Hickam and near airfields.
1452
01:56:35,094 --> 01:56:39,896
Two minutes later, torpedo planes
start their bomb on battleship row.
1453
01:56:42,096 --> 01:56:45,098
Three minutes later,
Zero's strafe other airbases.
1454
01:56:45,198 --> 01:56:51,000
It's Fuchida's first wave of aircraft that
hits the Arizona; she erupts like a volcano.
1455
01:56:56,302 --> 01:56:59,603
Flames burst 500 feet in the air.
1456
01:57:02,504 --> 01:57:06,306
Fuchida's deadly first waves
sinks the West Virginia.
1457
01:57:06,606 --> 01:57:07,907
Now, the Oklahoma,
1458
01:57:08,007 --> 01:57:13,008
a battle wagon moored outboard of the
US Maryland shutters with torpedo hits.
1459
01:57:13,108 --> 01:57:15,009
She begins listing...
1460
01:57:15,509 --> 01:57:17,410
and capsizes.
1461
01:57:17,510 --> 01:57:21,412
More torpedo's rip into the
battleships California and Nevada.
1462
01:57:25,713 --> 01:57:27,514
After the last bomb is dropped
1463
01:57:27,614 --> 01:57:31,816
the United States of America
virtually has a Pacific Fleet...
1464
01:57:31,916 --> 01:57:33,717
no longer.
1465
01:57:35,329 --> 01:57:37,552
Japan Attacks Pearl Harbor
And Then Declares War on U.S.
1466
01:57:41,920 --> 01:57:43,721
Yesterday,
1467
01:57:44,521 --> 01:57:49,523
December 7th, 1941,
1468
01:57:50,923 --> 01:57:55,925
A date which will live in infamy,
1469
01:57:56,425 --> 01:57:59,127
the United States of America
1470
01:57:59,327 --> 01:58:02,728
was suddenly and deliberately attacked
1471
01:58:02,828 --> 01:58:08,930
by Naval and Air Forces
of the Empire of Japan.
1472
01:58:11,985 --> 01:58:13,875
On 8 December 1941, the US declares
war on Japan
1473
01:58:14,347 --> 01:58:15,665
and officially enters World War Two.
1474
01:58:16,120 --> 01:58:17,883
Britain will declare war the
same day.
1475
01:58:23,291 --> 01:58:24,932
Was the attack really such a suprise?
1476
01:58:28,179 --> 01:58:29,861
JAPAN MAY STRIKE OVER WEEKEND
1477
01:58:33,564 --> 01:58:35,771
KURUSU BLUNTLY WARNED NATION
READY FOR BATTLE
1478
01:58:47,738 --> 01:58:49,592
To be continued
1479
01:59:01,323 --> 01:59:03,132
Part 9
Adolf Hitler - The Gretest Story NEVER Told!
1480
01:59:06,771 --> 01:59:08,619
1941 THE UKRAINE
1481
01:59:14,023 --> 01:59:16,323
We knew there was a war on.
1482
01:59:16,423 --> 01:59:17,723
By that time,
1483
01:59:17,823 --> 01:59:22,925
what was left of us was herded into
the cattle trains and shipped to Siberia.
1484
01:59:23,025 --> 01:59:27,125
That was literally a matter of
hours if not minutes until our turn.
1485
01:59:27,225 --> 01:59:32,227
And we were already sitting at the
railroad station - this was September 1941
1486
01:59:32,327 --> 01:59:35,227
when the German Army
overran the Ukraine,
1487
01:59:35,327 --> 01:59:40,128
and stopped the exiling; stopped
the trains. They stopped the trains.
1488
01:59:40,228 --> 01:59:44,629
And it was to us as if the
Lord had sent us the angels.
1489
01:59:44,729 --> 01:59:50,330
Here were people who stopped the
terror that had been upon us for 25 years.
1490
01:59:50,430 --> 01:59:52,731
Who came and opened
the churches for us
1491
01:59:52,831 --> 01:59:56,032
and said: "You can have
all the services you want".
1492
01:59:56,132 --> 01:59:57,632
It was like heaven.
1493
01:59:57,732 --> 02:00:01,933
My mother, to the day she
died, never stopped talking
1494
02:00:02,033 --> 02:00:06,434
about the wonderful 2 years that she
had when the German Army came.
1495
02:00:06,534 --> 02:00:09,334
They took over the
houses - we gave them gladly!
1496
02:00:09,434 --> 02:00:11,135
It was magnificent!
1497
02:00:11,235 --> 02:00:13,335
And we were absolutely convinced
1498
02:00:13,435 --> 02:00:16,736
that the Germans had come
to save us from Communism.
1499
02:00:16,836 --> 02:00:20,737
And never was there any reason for us
to change our minds - why should we?
1500
02:00:20,837 --> 02:00:23,137
The Germans were
heroes in our eyes.
1501
02:00:23,237 --> 02:00:25,438
We absolutely believed in Adolf Hitler,
1502
02:00:25,538 --> 02:00:31,139
we believed in the, in the nature of his
struggle, in the merits of his struggle.
1503
02:00:31,239 --> 02:00:34,940
We had these magnificent
German soldiers protecting us,
1504
02:00:35,040 --> 02:00:37,740
so the beginning was
not at all unpleasant.
1505
02:00:37,840 --> 02:00:40,541
But then it became grim,
then the winter came.
1506
02:00:47,471 --> 02:00:48,823
On 11 December 1941, four days after the
Japanese attack on Pearl Harbour,
1507
02:00:49,203 --> 02:00:51,143
Hitler spoke to the Reichstag in Berlin
and dealt at lenght
1508
02:00:51,634 --> 02:00:53,304
with President Roosevelt hostile
policies toward Germany.
1509
02:00:53,898 --> 02:00:55,631
He detailed the increasingly belligernt
actions of Roosevelt's government,
1510
02:00:56,068 --> 02:00:57,259
and dramatically announced Germany
was now
1511
02:00:57,673 --> 02:00:59,055
joining Japan in the war
against the US.
1512
02:00:59,631 --> 02:01:02,733
Italy and Croatia would soon
follow suit.
1513
02:01:14,344 --> 02:01:15,977
The Independent State of Croatia,
commonly reffered to us the NDH,
1514
02:01:16,491 --> 02:01:17,760
is created 10 April 1941.
Led by Ante Paveliæ,
1515
02:01:18,180 --> 02:01:19,673
several hundred Ustaše militia will
travel from training camps
1516
02:01:20,121 --> 02:01:21,918
in Italy to form the new government.
1517
02:01:22,732 --> 02:01:24,433
They will govern most of modern day
Croatia including Bosnia and Herzegovina,
1518
02:01:24,878 --> 02:01:26,819
and will seek to clear out ethnic
Serbs, Jews and Romany gypsies.
1519
02:01:27,481 --> 02:01:29,271
However, one third of all ethnic Serbs
will be spared death or deportation
1520
02:01:29,836 --> 02:01:31,885
by converting from Serbian Orthodox
to Roman Cathoic.
1521
02:01:32,956 --> 02:01:34,369
This is not dissimilar to what English
Protestants offered
1522
02:01:34,809 --> 02:01:36,471
the Catholics during the Middle Ages.
1523
02:01:46,687 --> 02:01:48,875
In Jerusalem, Hitler will ally with the
Grand Mufti Muhammad Haj Amin al-Husseini,
1524
02:01:49,593 --> 02:01:51,002
and together Croat and Muslim in
Bosnia form
1525
02:01:51,404 --> 02:01:53,689
the 13th Waffen Mountain Division of
the SS Handschar.
1526
02:01:55,496 --> 02:01:57,028
Few historians have ever asked
way so many foreigners
1527
02:01:57,433 --> 02:01:58,832
supported a supposedly "racist" Hitler.
1528
02:01:59,273 --> 02:02:00,856
The Arabs and the Japanese would
not be
1529
02:02:01,261 --> 02:02:03,598
the only non-Whites to fight
on the side of the Third Reich.
1530
02:02:05,297 --> 02:02:07,312
Africans, Slavs, Asians, Hindus, Arabs
and numerous other nationalities
1531
02:02:07,759 --> 02:02:09,675
all fought shoulder-to-shoulder
with Germans.
1532
02:02:11,452 --> 02:02:13,330
Hitler's Wehrmacht and Waffen SS
were in reality the most culturally,
1533
02:02:13,764 --> 02:02:15,819
ethnicaly and religiously diverse
military forces in Western history.
1534
02:02:39,978 --> 02:02:41,664
Ustaše
1535
02:02:47,510 --> 02:02:49,644
With uncompromising hatred, fanatical
nationalism and die-hard religious beliefs
1536
02:02:50,088 --> 02:02:51,967
all in play, the horrors about to occur
in the Balkans are unparalleled.
1537
02:02:53,765 --> 02:02:55,371
Yugoslavia will become a war zone
of competing political interests
1538
02:02:55,798 --> 02:02:58,048
and disparate ideologies, including Socialism,
Fascism, Commuism, Monarchism,
1539
02:02:58,491 --> 02:03:00,468
and Serbian and Croatian nationalism.
1540
02:03:12,452 --> 02:03:14,481
It is well-documented and undeniable
that the fiercely nationalistic and fanatical
1541
02:03:14,855 --> 02:03:16,274
Croatian Ustaše persecuted Jews.
1542
02:03:16,920 --> 02:03:18,340
Communists are perceived enemies
of the state,
1543
02:03:18,771 --> 02:03:20,647
holding them in camps such as
those at Jasenovac.
1544
02:03:21,613 --> 02:03:23,813
The Croats had been victims themselves
however, having suffered terriby
1545
02:03:24,249 --> 02:03:25,705
at the hands of the Serbs and
Bolshevik partisans.
1546
02:03:26,753 --> 02:03:28,425
Indeed, the Ustaše's elite unit-
the Black Legion -
1547
02:03:28,881 --> 02:03:30,377
was formed on 3 Sptember 1941
by the Croat and Muslim survivors
1548
02:03:30,777 --> 02:03:32,291
who had fled Sarajevo after seeing
their families
1549
02:03:32,703 --> 02:03:34,405
butchred by Serbs and Chetniks.
1550
02:03:44,217 --> 02:03:45,881
They eventually earned a reputation
as the most brutal and ruthless
1551
02:03:46,794 --> 02:03:48,129
of Ustaše units with a motto of...
1552
02:03:48,761 --> 02:03:50,262
"No quarter asked, none given."
1553
02:03:51,044 --> 02:03:52,819
Their finest hour came in the defence
of the town Kupres where,
1554
02:03:53,298 --> 02:03:54,883
although heavily outnumbered, they
and other Ustaše units
1555
02:03:55,360 --> 02:03:56,925
successfully defended the civilian
population against
1556
02:03:57,408 --> 02:03:59,440
four Communist partisan regiments,
preventing their certain death.
1557
02:04:00,303 --> 02:04:02,097
When the war ends, after successfuly
escaping the Communists,
1558
02:04:02,545 --> 02:04:04,367
hundreds of thousands of Croat soldiers
throw down their weapons
1559
02:04:04,871 --> 02:04:06,923
and surrender to the Western Allies
at the Austrian border town of Bleiburg.
1560
02:04:08,488 --> 02:04:10,136
However, the British Army will trick
the unarmed POWs and their families
1561
02:04:10,616 --> 02:04:12,430
into boarding trains supposedly
heading West.
1562
02:04:14,144 --> 02:04:15,999
The trains will instead trasport them
East, over the border to Yugoslavia,
1563
02:04:16,483 --> 02:04:18,354
and towards certain death at the hands
of the victorious partisans
1564
02:04:18,764 --> 02:04:20,194
led by Marshal Josip Tito.
1565
02:04:21,357 --> 02:04:22,998
On arrival, they are dragged from
the tranis and the men shot.
1566
02:04:23,409 --> 02:04:25,048
The women and children are forced
on foot to prison camps where,
1567
02:04:25,486 --> 02:04:27,853
along the way, many are raped,
beaten or murdered.
1568
02:04:29,065 --> 02:04:30,654
Hidden from the history books,
it is the worst massacre
1569
02:04:31,091 --> 02:04:32,875
of 20th century Europe, and became
known in Croatia as:
1570
02:04:34,528 --> 02:04:35,809
"The Bleiburg Massacre"
1571
02:04:57,978 --> 02:04:59,721
THE BATTLE OF MOSCOW
1572
02:05:01,996 --> 02:05:04,896
In the dark days of Autumn 1941,
1573
02:05:04,996 --> 02:05:08,347
the Summers' defeats have
decimated the Red Army,
1574
02:05:08,447 --> 02:05:11,798
and Hitler's artillery could
strike Moscow itself.
1575
02:05:13,098 --> 02:05:16,599
Soviet Union seems on
the brink of total defeat.
1576
02:05:16,999 --> 02:05:19,599
But Stalin has his back
to the wall
1577
02:05:19,699 --> 02:05:23,100
and he will stop at nothing
to protect his power base.
1578
02:05:26,101 --> 02:05:30,602
Hitler and the Allies, expect the
fall of Moscow at any moment.
1579
02:05:35,403 --> 02:05:38,237
In the capital, an agitated Stalin
1580
02:05:38,612 --> 02:05:40,755
entrusts the defense to general
Zhukov.
1581
02:05:42,904 --> 02:05:45,755
And it is his suggestion
at the end of November,
1582
02:05:45,855 --> 02:05:48,606
of a counter-attack against
the German pincers
1583
02:05:48,706 --> 02:05:53,807
that triggers hurried planning for a
massive Soviet counter-offensive.
1584
02:06:00,808 --> 02:06:07,009
It is a plan made possible by the seemingly
limitless depth of Red Army reserves.
1585
02:06:07,109 --> 02:06:08,915
His agent in Tokyo, Richard Sorge,
1586
02:06:09,439 --> 02:06:12,006
has sent word that Japan will
not as feared,
1587
02:06:12,511 --> 02:06:16,011
attack the USSR from Manchuria.
1588
02:06:18,312 --> 02:06:23,513
And for once, crucially, Stalin
trusts the advice of a minion.
1589
02:06:25,513 --> 02:06:28,700
He authorizes the transfer West
of more than half
1590
02:06:29,213 --> 02:06:31,027
the Soviet strength in the Far East.
1591
02:06:32,715 --> 02:06:38,316
17 fresh divisions, trained regulars
with full armored and artillery support,
1592
02:06:38,416 --> 02:06:41,242
that will form the heart
of the counter-attack.
1593
02:06:46,518 --> 02:06:50,419
The first days of December
are an agony of anticipation,
1594
02:06:50,519 --> 02:06:54,619
but on the 5th Zhukov unleashes
his armies.
1595
02:07:05,922 --> 02:07:10,523
Within 48 hours the Soviet
thrusts are fully underway.
1596
02:07:13,123 --> 02:07:17,924
Hitler's furious order to hold
advanced positions is meaningless.
1597
02:07:19,625 --> 02:07:24,220
The Red Army's new T-34 tanks are
rugged, powerful fighting machines
1598
02:07:24,320 --> 02:07:28,916
designed to perform unfailingly in
the bitter cold of deepest Winter.
1599
02:07:29,327 --> 02:07:34,723
And swarms of specialist ski troops
are too fast for the ill-clad Wehrmacht.
1600
02:07:39,429 --> 02:07:43,330
German troops can only fall
back in astonished disarray.
1601
02:07:43,430 --> 02:07:48,793
As army groups enter, the juggernaut that
was to crush Moscow, is smashed apart.
1602
02:07:55,232 --> 02:07:57,879
After 6 months of catastrophic
defeats,
1603
02:07:58,373 --> 02:08:01,524
the Red Army's hard-fought victory
is undeniable.
1604
02:08:03,734 --> 02:08:05,258
And as the year closes,
1605
02:08:05,682 --> 02:08:07,809
Soviet towns and villages
west of the capital
1606
02:08:08,435 --> 02:08:11,542
are being freed from
their brief Nazi occupation.
1607
02:08:15,636 --> 02:08:17,970
There will be more sweeping Soviet
victories,
1608
02:08:18,395 --> 02:08:20,049
but none will burn more brightly
1609
02:08:20,237 --> 02:08:24,388
than this first astounding
recovery from the brink of defeat.
1610
02:08:29,039 --> 02:08:32,000
Convinced now that Germany
is on the brink of collapse,
1611
02:08:32,340 --> 02:08:35,341
Stalin demands attack after attack.
1612
02:08:36,541 --> 02:08:39,341
Every remaining reserve
is thrown into the fray
1613
02:08:39,441 --> 02:08:43,142
as he seeks to drive the
invader from Soviet territory.
1614
02:08:45,843 --> 02:08:47,643
But it is impossible.
1615
02:08:47,743 --> 02:08:50,130
Their superhuman effort has taken
its toll,
1616
02:08:51,614 --> 02:08:53,110
and the armies are exhausted.
1617
02:08:56,445 --> 02:08:59,746
Dissipated by Stalin's
overreaching ambition,
1618
02:08:59,846 --> 02:09:04,495
the offensives make only trivial
gains and at a dreadful cost.
1619
02:09:05,447 --> 02:09:08,848
And by the time its attacks
peter out in February,
1620
02:09:08,948 --> 02:09:13,416
the Red Army has lost almost a
million troops in the battle for Moscow.
1621
02:09:14,149 --> 02:09:18,928
That grim statistic will be hidden from
the Soviet people for half a century.
1622
02:09:25,851 --> 02:09:30,152
The majority of Wehrmacht units
may have escaped encirclement,
1623
02:09:30,252 --> 02:09:32,853
but they could not
save their equipment.
1624
02:09:33,553 --> 02:09:39,354
Now it lies abandoned everywhere;
a gigantic German scrapyard.
1625
02:09:51,457 --> 02:09:55,157
It is a fitting sight to show
British foreign minister Eden
1626
02:09:55,257 --> 02:09:57,587
when he arrives to
survey the battlefields.
1627
02:09:58,558 --> 02:10:01,897
For neither Britain nor Stalin's
new ally the United States
1628
02:10:02,159 --> 02:10:05,710
believed that Moscow could
survive the German onslaught.
1629
02:10:12,061 --> 02:10:17,662
But if the Western Allies are amazed,
this one victory has revealed to Stalin
1630
02:10:17,762 --> 02:10:23,363
a mirage of complete triumph and he
is totally committed to further attack.
1631
02:10:25,364 --> 02:10:27,464
But he has miscalculated.
1632
02:10:27,564 --> 02:10:29,465
The Wehrmacht is not yet beaten
1633
02:10:29,565 --> 02:10:34,066
and a furious Hitler is planning
massive new offensives.
1634
02:10:37,566 --> 02:10:42,667
His folly will again compel the Red
Army to fight in desperate defense.
1635
02:10:46,268 --> 02:10:49,373
And so the Soviet
people must struggle on.
1636
02:10:50,669 --> 02:10:53,403
It will be a long, painful journey
1637
02:10:53,885 --> 02:10:57,673
and many will not survive
to its conclusion.
1638
02:11:02,889 --> 02:11:04,577
RUSSIAN COSSACKS IN THE BALKANS
1639
02:11:08,292 --> 02:11:10,305
After the 1917 Russian Revolution,
the Communist Bolshevik regime brought
1640
02:11:10,690 --> 02:11:11,993
nothing but death and misery
to much of the population,
1641
02:11:12,445 --> 02:11:13,681
especially ethnic minorities.
1642
02:11:14,029 --> 02:11:15,325
One such oppresed group was
to rise up
1643
02:11:15,733 --> 02:11:16,936
and fight alongside the Germans.
1644
02:11:17,492 --> 02:11:19,192
With their reputation for toughness,
mobility and fearles fighting,
1645
02:11:19,535 --> 02:11:21,294
they are well-suited for the rugged
terrain of the Balkans.
1646
02:11:21,744 --> 02:11:23,318
Allocated to clear the region of
Communist partisans,
1647
02:11:23,554 --> 02:11:26,226
they are led by charismatic
German officer...
1648
02:11:28,081 --> 02:11:30,546
General Helmuth von Pannwitz
1649
02:11:48,748 --> 02:11:50,506
During oprations in Serbia and Croatia,
there occured a number of atrocities
1650
02:11:50,926 --> 02:11:52,726
against the civilian popuation, including
mass rapes and executions.
1651
02:11:56,994 --> 02:11:59,273
But an order by General von Panwitz
dated 20 October 1943
1652
02:11:59,649 --> 02:12:01,489
made it absolutey clear to all
under his command
1653
02:12:01,990 --> 02:12:03,371
that any crimes of such a nature
were to be punished by death.
1654
02:12:04,657 --> 02:12:06,664
On 11 May 1945, General von Pannwitz
surrender to the British Army
1655
02:12:07,160 --> 02:12:08,931
in allied-administred Austria,
after the Germans were assured
1656
02:12:09,490 --> 02:12:12,532
they would remain in the custody
of Western powers.
1657
02:12:23,744 --> 02:12:25,861
By mid-May it was becoming clear
that the Cossacks would be
1658
02:12:26,366 --> 02:12:28,918
sent back to the Soviet Union to face
execution of the Gulag prison camps.
1659
02:12:29,481 --> 02:12:31,152
This action will forever become
known as...
1660
02:12:31,864 --> 02:12:33,582
"The Betrayal of the Cossacks"
1661
02:12:43,650 --> 02:12:45,980
As a German national under the proection
of the Geneva Conventios,
1662
02:12:46,460 --> 02:12:49,448
General von Pannwitz was not subject
to banishmet to the Soviet Union.
1663
02:12:51,658 --> 02:12:52,792
Knowing full well the consequences,
1664
02:12:53,175 --> 02:12:54,998
he refused to abandon his Cossacks
comrades, stating:
1665
02:12:55,659 --> 02:12:57,587
"I was with the Cossacks in good times
and I will stay with them in bad times."
1666
02:12:59,111 --> 02:13:01,331
On 26 May, he was relieved of his
command and placed under arrest.
1667
02:13:01,890 --> 02:13:03,918
The British Army then set about
Cossacks onto railway trucks
1668
02:13:04,547 --> 02:13:05,705
by beating them with baseball
bats and rifle butts.
1669
02:13:06,198 --> 02:13:07,386
The fighting lasted for several days.
1670
02:13:08,245 --> 02:13:10,137
Eventually the British would deliver
to the Red Army around 40.000 Cossacks,
1671
02:13:10,527 --> 02:13:11,819
and with them their women and children.
1672
02:13:12,378 --> 02:13:14,193
Many are not even Soviet citizens,
and those who were not sent
1673
02:13:14,588 --> 02:13:16,122
to the Gulag are subequently executed.
1674
02:13:28,361 --> 02:13:31,327
General Helmuth von Pannwitz
was executed in Moscow on 16 January 1947.
1675
02:13:31,783 --> 02:13:33,475
He is to this day known by
the Cossacks as...
1676
02:13:34,097 --> 02:13:35,982
"The Last Knight of Europe"
1677
02:13:47,051 --> 02:13:48,719
"Betrayal of the Cossacks"
1678
02:14:03,467 --> 02:14:05,452
To be continued
1679
02:14:13,208 --> 02:14:15,656
Part 10
Adolf Hitler - The Gretest Story NEVER Told!
1680
02:14:19,823 --> 02:14:22,443
THE SOVIET UNION 1942
1681
02:14:23,475 --> 02:14:25,514
As the spring campaigning
season opens,
1682
02:14:26,202 --> 02:14:28,567
the Red Army's victories
of late 1941
1683
02:14:29,221 --> 02:14:31,085
seem suddenly meaningless.
1684
02:14:32,836 --> 02:14:35,156
A hasty Soviet attack in
the south against Kharkov
1685
02:14:35,885 --> 02:14:38,256
is swallowed up by a
German counteroffensive.
1686
02:14:50,712 --> 02:14:53,714
For Soviet soldiers, this
could so easily be the end.
1687
02:14:58,557 --> 02:15:00,581
Even Stalin's son
has been captured.
1688
02:15:01,191 --> 02:15:03,245
And his image on propaganda leaflets
Yakov Dzhugashvili
1689
02:15:03,577 --> 02:15:06,031
adds credence to German
claims of imminent victory.
1690
02:15:07,219 --> 02:15:11,087
And on the brink of catastrophe,
he resorts as always, to terror.
1691
02:15:13,672 --> 02:15:18,952
Stalin's secret order number 227,
issued under his signature in late July 1942.
1692
02:15:22,937 --> 02:15:27,687
This notorious document makes any
unauthorized retreat punishable by death.
1693
02:15:30,637 --> 02:15:34,235
Not one step back.
Stalin means it literally.
1694
02:15:36,160 --> 02:15:40,994
And this unique footage shows NKVD
troops putting his edict into practice.
1695
02:15:43,432 --> 02:15:44,984
They're known
as blocking units.
1696
02:15:46,807 --> 02:15:48,231
Deployed just behind the troops,
1697
02:15:48,714 --> 02:15:52,642
they pass instant sentence
on any who disobey order 227.
1698
02:15:53,702 --> 02:15:57,641
Enforcing the supreme commander's
will without hesitation or mercy.
1699
02:16:01,404 --> 02:16:03,485
Stalin will reject exchanging German
prisoners for the return of his son,
1700
02:16:03,884 --> 02:16:06,133
reportedly stating,
"I have no son named Yakov"
1701
02:16:06,907 --> 02:16:08,946
Yakov died in German captivity,
although the circumstances are unclear.
1702
02:16:09,329 --> 02:16:10,841
One account says he ran into
an electric fence
1703
02:16:11,151 --> 02:16:12,146
surrounding his POW camp.
1704
02:16:12,545 --> 02:16:14,095
Another, that he was shot
whilst trying to ecape.
1705
02:16:24,407 --> 02:16:26,407
The Führer is confident now,
1706
02:16:26,507 --> 02:16:32,310
certain that the Wehrmacht can seize
the vital oil centers of Grozny and Baku.
1707
02:16:32,410 --> 02:16:36,033
Two smaller German armies
have been advancing slowly east
1708
02:16:36,312 --> 02:16:39,613
towards the industrial
city of Stalingrad.
1709
02:16:40,414 --> 02:16:44,615
He sees a chance to cut all links
between Moscow and the Caucasus.
1710
02:16:44,715 --> 02:16:48,234
The city on the Volga
becomes his new prime target.
1711
02:16:52,816 --> 02:16:54,592
JAPAN AT WAR
1712
02:16:59,903 --> 02:17:01,681
After the bombing of Pearl Harbour,
the Japanese will now seek
1713
02:17:02,095 --> 02:17:03,571
to rid from the region the
domineering
1714
02:17:04,016 --> 02:17:05,534
Western powers of Britain
and United States.
1715
02:17:06,276 --> 02:17:07,691
On Christmas Day 1941, they capture
Hong Kong from British.
1716
02:17:08,195 --> 02:17:09,727
The Phiippines, Burma and
British Malaya
1717
02:17:10,120 --> 02:17:11,229
all fall in quick succession.
1718
02:17:11,699 --> 02:17:13,255
However, their greatest prize will be
the taking of the British
1719
02:17:13,694 --> 02:17:14,732
stronghold of Singpore.
1720
02:17:15,517 --> 02:17:17,297
Vastly outnumbered, 30.000 Japanese
troops force over 100.000 British,
1721
02:17:17,635 --> 02:17:19,328
Australian and Indian soldiers
to surrender.
1722
02:17:20,220 --> 02:17:22,238
It will be one of the most humiliating
defeats ever for the British Empire.
1723
02:17:35,963 --> 02:17:37,518
Winston Churchill describe the fall
of Singapore as...
1724
02:17:38,268 --> 02:17:41,231
"The worst disaster and largest
capitulation in British history."
1725
02:17:45,526 --> 02:17:47,043
Later, historians will point the
finger at Churchill himself
1726
02:17:47,425 --> 02:17:49,414
and blunder he made in
underestimating the Japanese.
1727
02:18:03,411 --> 02:18:03,515
Hours after surrendering to the
Japanese,
1728
02:18:03,912 --> 02:18:05,862
Austrlian-born Lieutenant General
Gordon Bennett and several of his officers
1729
02:18:06,301 --> 02:18:08,040
deserted their men and
absconded to Australia.
1730
02:18:09,766 --> 02:18:11,410
He was never given a major
position of command again.
1731
02:18:30,985 --> 02:18:33,302
SINGAPORE SURRENDERS
Fighting Ceased at 10 P.M. Sunday
1732
02:18:36,524 --> 02:18:37,343
HONGKONG SURRENDERS!
1733
02:18:37,784 --> 02:18:38,837
ANEMY ASKS FOR ARMISTICE AT
5:50 P.M. THURSDAY
1734
02:18:39,661 --> 02:18:41,091
BRITISH ASIA FLEET SMASHED
1735
02:18:41,575 --> 02:18:43,007
Japanese Land at Guam:
Nippon Losses Insignificant
1736
02:18:57,503 --> 02:18:58,701
In 1942, at the height of its power,
1737
02:18:59,127 --> 02:19:01,055
the Japanese Empire ruled over an
area spanning 2.847.000 squre miles.
1738
02:19:01,525 --> 02:19:03,315
It was one of the largest maritime
empires in history.
1739
02:19:27,633 --> 02:19:29,571
JULY 1942
1740
02:19:29,987 --> 02:19:31,507
The Wehrmacht are at the gates
of Stalingrad.
1741
02:19:32,008 --> 02:19:33,704
An order from Stalin will prevent
civilians, even women and children,
1742
02:19:34,054 --> 02:19:35,236
from leaving the city.
1743
02:19:35,579 --> 02:19:37,032
His reasoning is that their presence
will encourage
1744
02:19:37,430 --> 02:19:39,205
greater resisance from the
city's defenders.
1745
02:19:45,295 --> 02:19:48,597
Stalingrad seems there
for the taking.
1746
02:19:54,299 --> 02:19:59,201
But this is Stalin's city, the very
symbol of his personal prestige.
1747
02:19:59,301 --> 02:20:04,204
And that is something even women
and children are expected to defend.
1748
02:20:09,806 --> 02:20:12,076
THE BATTLE OF STALINGRAD
23 AUGUST 1942
1749
02:20:49,924 --> 02:20:55,126
But when the thunder finally
abates, 50.000 lay dead.
1750
02:21:13,834 --> 02:21:18,408
Now, the Wehrmacht is moving
in to claim the rubble for its own.
1751
02:21:21,538 --> 02:21:23,639
As they inch through the suburbs,
1752
02:21:23,739 --> 02:21:27,886
German troops surely
expect a rapid conquest.
1753
02:21:31,242 --> 02:21:36,544
Instead, they are entering a savage
killing ground, for a duel to the death
1754
02:21:36,644 --> 02:21:39,860
that will rank among the most
terrible in human experience.
1755
02:21:43,447 --> 02:21:47,849
For at their approach the
ruins spring to furious life.
1756
02:21:54,552 --> 02:21:58,515
Soviet soldiers and citizens do
not even contemplate surrender.
1757
02:21:59,655 --> 02:22:02,602
A thousand desperate
battles erupt on the streets.
1758
02:22:02,856 --> 02:22:07,559
And a wild labyrinth of constantly
shifting front lines swamps the city.
1759
02:22:08,358 --> 02:22:12,773
The front line might be a house,
an alley, a tram line or a wall.
1760
02:22:18,963 --> 02:22:20,794
And every street is a minefield,
1761
02:22:21,218 --> 02:22:24,475
virtually impassible for tanks
or big guns.
1762
02:22:27,367 --> 02:22:30,453
So that soldiers, denied air
and artillery support,
1763
02:22:31,005 --> 02:22:32,479
must fight eyeball to eyeball,
1764
02:22:33,169 --> 02:22:37,660
lives hanging on their wits, their
battle skills and their cunning.
1765
02:22:39,972 --> 02:22:43,053
General Chuikov, in command
of the 62nd Army,
1766
02:22:43,558 --> 02:22:45,125
mounts a skillful campaign,
1767
02:22:45,475 --> 02:22:49,128
but his outnumbered troops
cannot hope to stop the Wehrmacht.
1768
02:22:53,578 --> 02:22:57,280
And by early November it has
cut a swath across Stalingrad,
1769
02:22:57,380 --> 02:23:00,181
splitting the 62nd Army in two.
1770
02:23:01,182 --> 02:23:02,911
In a last desperate gesture,
1771
02:23:03,359 --> 02:23:07,341
Chuikov mounts assault after assault
on the Mamayev ground,
1772
02:23:07,843 --> 02:23:11,611
a vital patch of high ground,
the very hub of the battle zone.
1773
02:23:12,087 --> 02:23:15,488
The hill changes hands
no less than eight times,
1774
02:23:15,588 --> 02:23:18,125
as Chuikov throws
everything into the fray.
1775
02:23:18,589 --> 02:23:24,192
And from the USA's Alaskan airfields,
fighter aircraft fly into Siberia
1776
02:23:24,292 --> 02:23:28,673
to aid a Red Army almost
ready to launch its counterstrike.
1777
02:23:29,194 --> 02:23:31,295
And on the
19th of November,
1778
02:23:31,395 --> 02:23:35,871
a huge artillery barrage by the
southwest front pierces the front.
1779
02:23:43,801 --> 02:23:48,803
And Yeryomenko's southern wing
surges forward on the next day.
1780
02:23:52,404 --> 02:23:56,689
The Wehrmacht, taken utterly
by surprise, cannot stop them.
1781
02:23:57,707 --> 02:24:00,308
And as its allies
collapse on the flanks,
1782
02:24:00,408 --> 02:24:04,188
there are no reserves to
stem the resurgent Red tide.
1783
02:24:05,910 --> 02:24:10,012
Within 3 days the Southwest
Front has taken Kalach,
1784
02:24:10,112 --> 02:24:13,214
some 80 kilometers
West of Stalingrad.
1785
02:24:16,015 --> 02:24:20,117
And on the 23rd of November,
a few miles southwest of Kalach,
1786
02:24:20,217 --> 02:24:23,315
its advanced units meet up
with Yeryomenko's forces.
1787
02:24:32,422 --> 02:24:36,624
Suddenly the German's Sixth
Army and the Fourth Panzer Army,
1788
02:24:36,724 --> 02:24:39,026
perhaps 300.000 of Hitler's finest
troops,
1789
02:24:39,478 --> 02:24:42,102
are surrounded inside Stalingrad.
1790
02:24:45,328 --> 02:24:48,503
The hunter has been
captured by his prey.
1791
02:24:53,631 --> 02:24:59,234
An astonished Hitler summons
Manstein, his troubleshooter, to Stalingrad.
1792
02:24:59,334 --> 02:25:02,335
Two Soviet armies, the
51st and Second guards,
1793
02:25:02,435 --> 02:25:06,517
are rushed to meet Manstein's relief
force and stop it dead in its tracks.
1794
02:25:07,137 --> 02:25:09,996
The guards pay a high
price for stopping Manstein.
1795
02:25:11,539 --> 02:25:14,323
Almost two-thirds of the
army is killed or wounded.
1796
02:25:15,641 --> 02:25:18,927
There will be no relief now
for German troops in Stalingrad.
1797
02:25:20,443 --> 02:25:21,454
The Luftwaffe tries,
1798
02:25:22,107 --> 02:25:24,894
but the Red Army brings up
extra AA batteries.
1799
02:25:25,345 --> 02:25:27,118
And the lumbering German transports
1800
02:25:27,451 --> 02:25:29,569
are blown out of the sky
in their hundreds.
1801
02:25:34,449 --> 02:25:36,846
Yet, like Soviet troops before them,
1802
02:25:37,501 --> 02:25:39,394
they entertain no thought
of surrender.
1803
02:25:40,252 --> 02:25:42,169
For ordinary
soldiers on both sides,
1804
02:25:42,553 --> 02:25:45,771
this is the ghastly climax
to a long, dark journey.
1805
02:25:50,757 --> 02:25:51,967
In the heart of the cauldron,
1806
02:25:52,570 --> 02:25:55,445
Hitler's gladiators know now
that they are doomed.
1807
02:25:59,560 --> 02:26:04,162
They evacuate a few casualties
on the last plane out of Stalingrad.
1808
02:26:05,763 --> 02:26:10,982
And with it go their last words
to families, lovers, friends.
1809
02:26:52,684 --> 02:26:54,055
But though they fight on,
1810
02:26:54,155 --> 02:26:55,527
the bullets are running out,
1811
02:26:56,319 --> 02:26:58,660
and the Red Army is still coming
at them.
1812
02:27:06,490 --> 02:27:09,192
Finally, after five long months,
1813
02:27:09,670 --> 02:27:12,899
a battle that began
almost by accident is over.
1814
02:27:20,330 --> 02:27:21,356
2 Feb 1943
1815
02:27:21,456 --> 02:27:23,240
Field Marshal Friedrich Paulus
surrenders to the Soviets.
1816
02:29:14,468 --> 02:29:15,859
To be continued
1817
02:29:18,795 --> 02:29:20,737
Part 11
Adolf Hitler - The Gretest Story NEVER Told!
1818
02:29:26,554 --> 02:29:31,299
From early February, Stalin orders new
offensives all along the southern fronts.
1819
02:29:33,459 --> 02:29:35,836
Though they have fought and
survived the Battle of Stalingrad,
1820
02:29:36,282 --> 02:29:38,336
their commanders can
permit them no rest.
1821
02:29:39,824 --> 02:29:42,652
Instead they must struggle on
through the late winter blizzards,
1822
02:29:43,332 --> 02:29:46,439
instruments of their supreme
commander's lust for glory.
1823
02:29:48,467 --> 02:29:52,527
The Red Army drives deep into Nazi
held territories fighting exhaustion,
1824
02:29:52,917 --> 02:29:57,671
cold, mud. Inch by inch
the infantry advances.
1825
02:30:04,836 --> 02:30:07,261
The Führer knows that if his
stretched forces
1826
02:30:07,461 --> 02:30:09,871
are to defeat the Red Army
in 1943,
1827
02:30:10,255 --> 02:30:11,557
they must attack quickly
1828
02:30:12,075 --> 02:30:14,537
before it can recover
from the losses of the winter.
1829
02:30:15,406 --> 02:30:18,317
Hitler's strategy is simple
and optimistic.
1830
02:30:19,718 --> 02:30:20,967
In a two-pronged attack,
1831
02:30:21,463 --> 02:30:24,444
he plans to destroy the Soviet
position around Kursk.
1832
02:30:24,894 --> 02:30:29,260
On the map, a great bulge 130
miles long and 100 miles deep
1833
02:30:29,659 --> 02:30:31,326
at the center of the eastern front.
1834
02:30:35,408 --> 02:30:39,079
And so now, two gigantic
armies are converging.
1835
02:30:39,830 --> 02:30:43,374
The greatest tank battle
of all time is about to begin.
1836
02:30:43,722 --> 02:30:45,320
THE BATTLE OF KURSK
1837
02:33:01,662 --> 02:33:04,036
The great barrage of Katyusha rockets
and artillery
1838
02:33:04,894 --> 02:33:07,991
announces counteroffensives
by 4 more Soviet armies
1839
02:33:08,572 --> 02:33:11,491
sweeping around the rear
of the battered German divisions.
1840
02:34:12,856 --> 02:34:14,551
German offensive operations
are halted.
1841
02:34:15,524 --> 02:34:17,668
The Wehrmacht can only retreat.
1842
02:34:18,402 --> 02:34:20,881
It leaves behind the
mangled debris of war.
1843
02:34:25,156 --> 02:34:28,344
Battle zones littered with
charred and broken tanks,
1844
02:34:28,792 --> 02:34:31,286
and the bodies of hundreds
of thousands of men.
1845
02:34:42,717 --> 02:34:46,707
For survivors of this savage
inferno, shattered, shell-shocked,
1846
02:34:47,123 --> 02:34:50,489
stunned by the horrors they have
witnessed, there can be no joy.
1847
02:35:49,939 --> 02:35:53,697
"1943 the story changed and
the Germans were pushed back.
1848
02:35:54,361 --> 02:35:59,371
And in the pushback they moved
us with them, and we went willingly.
1849
02:36:01,951 --> 02:36:04,750
There was no moving at gunpoint.
1850
02:36:04,850 --> 02:36:06,250
Had we stayed back
1851
02:36:06,350 --> 02:36:09,647
the Communists would have taken us
and executed us or shipped us to Siberia.
1852
02:36:10,108 --> 02:36:13,491
So we very willingly
retreated with the Germans.
1853
02:36:17,872 --> 02:36:19,275
Food was getting short.
1854
02:36:19,594 --> 02:36:20,753
The horses were getting sick.
1855
02:36:21,969 --> 02:36:23,227
The road was getting narrow.
1856
02:36:23,625 --> 02:36:25,026
It was extremely cold.
1857
02:36:25,382 --> 02:36:28,982
When I think of the war, I do not
think of hunger so much as of cold.
1858
02:36:29,514 --> 02:36:31,497
It was always, always cold.
1859
02:36:38,679 --> 02:36:43,237
And then of course once the winter
came, it became harder and harder.
1860
02:36:43,990 --> 02:36:47,585
We had to often stay
overnight in strange houses.
1861
02:36:48,605 --> 02:36:52,063
The army would confiscate houses,
would put the refugees there.
1862
02:36:52,441 --> 02:36:54,154
The army protected
us to the end.
1863
02:36:55,008 --> 02:36:59,865
The army never, ever let us down.
NEVER let us down, to the very end."
1864
02:37:00,246 --> 02:37:06,345
¶ And the snow fell,
covering the dreams and ideals.
1865
02:37:06,826 --> 02:37:13,829
¶ And the snow fell,
freezing the blood and the wheels.
1866
02:37:14,202 --> 02:37:21,583
¶ And the snow fell,
they had to keep warm for survival.
1867
02:37:21,683 --> 02:37:29,065
¶ And the snow fell,
and defeated the beast's only rival.
1868
02:37:31,544 --> 02:37:37,571
¶ They took the old roads that
Napoleon had taken before.
1869
02:37:39,144 --> 02:37:45,985
¶ They fought as the forces of light
against the darkness in a holy war.
1870
02:37:47,088 --> 02:37:53,137
¶ One day they were looking around
at the sun shining on the cold flowers.
1871
02:37:54,317 --> 02:38:00,393
¶ The next day they were freezing to death
in the snow and the ice cold showers.
1872
02:38:00,806 --> 02:38:07,794
¶ And the snow fell,
covering the dreams and ideals.
1873
02:38:08,202 --> 02:38:15,183
¶ And the snow fell,
freezing the blood and the wheels.
1874
02:38:15,645 --> 02:38:22,020
¶ And the snow fell,
they had to keep warm for survival.
1875
02:38:22,651 --> 02:38:29,986
¶ And the snow fell,
and defeated the beast's only rival."
1876
02:38:36,255 --> 02:38:37,884
PARTISANS - THE RED TEROR
1877
02:38:40,940 --> 02:38:45,339
This secret partisan report
declassified for this program
1878
02:38:45,539 --> 02:38:48,739
complains that amongst
one large partisan division.
1879
02:38:48,839 --> 02:38:53,005
Drunkenness, robbery, beatings
and rape are universal occurrences.
1880
02:38:56,639 --> 02:38:58,722
The widespread terror
wrought by the partisans
1881
02:38:59,007 --> 02:39:01,597
was not a story the Communists
wished to tell after the war.
1882
02:39:05,756 --> 02:39:08,266
This rare archive shows a
woman hanged by the partisans
1883
02:39:08,658 --> 02:39:10,888
and displayed to the rest of
the population as a warning.
1884
02:39:19,637 --> 02:39:22,909
These film rushes, never shown
to the German public during the war,
1885
02:39:23,811 --> 02:39:27,084
reveal Soviet mutilation
of German prisoners.
1886
02:39:35,936 --> 02:39:39,739
Actions like these only served to
escalate the level of the German reprisal.
1887
02:39:42,441 --> 02:39:43,641
During our retreat we found
20 soldiers...
1888
02:39:44,736 --> 02:39:46,808
... murderer in the most bestial
manner
1889
02:39:47,545 --> 02:39:51,142
Their ears were cut off, their eyes
gouged out, their genitals cut off
1890
02:39:53,295 --> 02:39:56,466
Naturaly, we felt enormous rage
1891
02:40:15,334 --> 02:40:18,898
The partisans became a growing
problem for the German occupiers.
1892
02:40:18,998 --> 02:40:22,562
If the Germans suspected a village
had been used as a partisan base,
1893
02:40:23,333 --> 02:40:25,702
then it was common practice
to burn it to the ground.
1894
02:40:26,332 --> 02:40:28,433
"And we burned the houses.
1895
02:40:28,533 --> 02:40:30,133
On the one hand I
didn't regret it too much
1896
02:40:30,233 --> 02:40:32,246
because I knew what was
is worth a Russian house?
1897
02:40:33,033 --> 02:40:33,972
They are so primitive anyhow.
1898
02:40:34,633 --> 02:40:38,401
Not comparable to a German house or an
English house or French house, or so on.
1899
02:40:39,233 --> 02:40:43,151
Not at all. But all in all, there's not
much value in it, in such a house.
1900
02:40:43,831 --> 02:40:45,698
They would survive.
That was my feeling."
1901
02:40:57,650 --> 02:40:59,589
In Britain, they have forged
a sword,
1902
02:41:00,300 --> 02:41:03,379
a gift to the victor of Stalingrad
from King George.
1903
02:41:05,030 --> 02:41:06,518
Earlier, in 1943,
1904
02:41:07,150 --> 02:41:11,395
at Katyn forest near Smolensk,
German occupying authorities
1905
02:41:11,694 --> 02:41:15,337
had unearthed the mass graves
of 20.000 Polish officers.
1906
02:41:18,329 --> 02:41:21,730
International observers were
invited to support Berlin's claim
1907
02:41:22,253 --> 02:41:24,841
that the murders were
carried out by the NKVD.
1908
02:41:25,285 --> 02:41:29,690
But Stalin had reacted furiously,
denying any link with the massacres.
1909
02:41:33,388 --> 02:41:35,146
But when Allied leaders meet
in Teheran,
1910
02:41:35,902 --> 02:41:38,991
Churchill and Roosevelt back their
most important ally
1911
02:41:39,430 --> 02:41:42,902
in the face of outraged protest
from exiled Poles.
1912
02:41:45,125 --> 02:41:46,364
His sword is presented,
1913
02:41:46,932 --> 02:41:50,211
and Stalin stands as an undisputed
world leader.
1914
02:41:52,733 --> 02:41:54,301
THE KATYN MASSACRE
1915
02:41:54,427 --> 02:41:57,769
In March 1940, in a forest near
Katyn village,
1916
02:41:58,283 --> 02:42:00,771
eight huge pits were dug.
1917
02:42:01,327 --> 02:42:03,129
Heavy trucks brought in people.
1918
02:42:03,653 --> 02:42:07,628
They were Polish Army
Reservists, Doctors, Engineers.
1919
02:42:08,739 --> 02:42:12,425
The Soviets carried out massacres
on a regular basis.
1920
02:42:12,637 --> 02:42:16,037
Riga, Tartu, Lviv, Minsk.
1921
02:42:17,043 --> 02:42:19,400
Relatives could not identify
many of the corpses.
1922
02:42:20,315 --> 02:42:23,648
Horrific torture had
made them unrecognizable.
1923
02:42:24,668 --> 02:42:27,767
The Soviet Union meanwhile
had become an Allied power.
1924
02:42:28,836 --> 02:42:32,792
The Soviet officers who pulled
out fingernails, cut tongues,
1925
02:42:33,235 --> 02:42:35,979
and perforated the skulls
of their victims with nails...
1926
02:42:37,121 --> 02:42:39,496
WERE PAID WITH WESTERN AID!
1927
02:42:41,324 --> 02:42:45,363
The British War Crimes Act gives them
immunity from prosecution in Britain,
1928
02:42:46,179 --> 02:42:51,165
because war crimes by definition
were committed only by the Germans.
1929
02:42:51,551 --> 02:42:52,615
According to the
1991 BRITISH WAR CRIMECAST
1930
02:42:53,015 --> 02:42:54,807
War crimes by definition were commited
ONLY by the Germans.
1931
02:43:00,439 --> 02:43:02,486
In 2012 the World Press reported their
recent findings on the Katun Massacre.
1932
02:43:03,447 --> 02:43:05,456
According to documets published Sepember
2012 by US National Archives
1933
02:43:06,049 --> 02:43:07,857
and Records Administration, the US
received coded reports in 1943
1934
02:43:08,360 --> 02:43:10,759
from two of its officers taken by
they German captors to the Katyn Forest.
1935
02:43:12,539 --> 02:43:14,306
Though the messeges of the US
officers reached Washigton,
1936
02:43:14,905 --> 02:43:16,714
they disappeared soon thereafter.
1937
02:43:20,050 --> 02:43:21,982
It has long been suspected that President
Roosevelt and Prime Minister Winston Churchill
1938
02:43:22,518 --> 02:43:24,682
knew that Soviet leader Joseph Stalin
has ordered the massacre.
1939
02:43:40,829 --> 02:43:42,828
One thing the World Press forgot
to mention...
1940
02:43:52,523 --> 02:43:54,738
Adolf Hitler is now officially exonerated
of Katyn Massacre.
1941
02:44:04,904 --> 02:44:06,503
To be continued
1942
02:44:11,137 --> 02:44:13,034
Part 12
Adolf Hitler - The Gretest Story NEVER Told!
1943
02:44:18,819 --> 02:44:20,522
On 25 July 1943, Italien leader Benito
Mussolini is overthrown and imprisoned.
1944
02:44:20,995 --> 02:44:22,566
Over the next few weeks he will be held
in several top secret locations
1945
02:44:22,950 --> 02:44:24,908
on the orders of the new
Italien government.
1946
02:44:27,342 --> 02:44:28,918
A hand-picked SS squadron, along with
members of Luftwaffe,
1947
02:44:29,684 --> 02:44:30,992
are given the task of finding and
rescuing him
1948
02:44:31,364 --> 02:44:32,719
before he can be handed
over to the US.
1949
02:44:33,197 --> 02:44:34,917
Hitler had personally interviewed three
men to led squadron.
1950
02:44:35,453 --> 02:44:37,072
The men he chose was...
Captain Otto Skorzeny.
1951
02:44:42,907 --> 02:44:45,573
With time runing out, Mussolini's whereabouts
are finaly discovered at Campo Imperatore
1952
02:44:45,949 --> 02:44:47,220
high in the Apennine Mountains
of Italy.
1953
02:44:47,629 --> 02:44:49,629
The plan is to land the commando unit
there and assault it.
1954
02:44:51,220 --> 02:44:53,491
German military expert warn Hitler
of the high probability of failure
1955
02:44:53,835 --> 02:44:55,435
and to expect an 80 % casaulty rate.
1956
02:44:56,092 --> 02:44:57,735
The codename for the mission is
Operation Oak.
1957
02:45:14,141 --> 02:45:17,339
The 12th of September
1943, central Italy.
1958
02:45:18,065 --> 02:45:19,853
High above Mount Gran Sasso.
1959
02:47:48,780 --> 02:47:50,571
The most daring and spectacular raid
of World War Two was completed
1960
02:47:50,979 --> 02:47:52,789
in just 12 minutes without a
single shot being fired.
1961
02:47:55,556 --> 02:47:56,846
Captain Skorzeny greeted Mussolini
with now immortal words...
1962
02:47:57,606 --> 02:47:59,295
"Duce, the Furer has sent me
to set you free!"
1963
02:48:00,806 --> 02:48:01,518
To which Mussolini replied...
1964
02:48:01,898 --> 02:48:03,543
"I knew that my friend would not
forsake me!"
1965
02:48:04,535 --> 02:48:06,081
On his return, Captain Skorzeny was
promoted by Hitler to the rank of Major
1966
02:48:06,482 --> 02:48:08,289
and awarded the Knight's Cross of the
Iron Cross with Oak Leaves,
1967
02:48:09,441 --> 02:48:11,082
the highest order a German military
officer could obtain.
1968
02:48:13,310 --> 02:48:14,930
Mussolini awarded him the
Order of 100 Musketeers.
1969
02:48:16,209 --> 02:48:18,497
The Allies would come to know Skorzeny
as the most dangerous man in Europe.
1970
02:48:32,006 --> 02:48:33,848
At the Nuremberg Trials, Skorzeny was
accused of war crimes but acquitted.
1971
02:48:34,231 --> 02:48:35,543
Whilst awaiting a further trial,
he escaped to Spain.
1972
02:48:37,513 --> 02:48:38,953
He then moved to Argentina but return
to establish a successful
1973
02:48:39,356 --> 02:48:41,426
construction company that would
make him a multi-millionaire.
1974
02:48:42,600 --> 02:48:44,889
Otto Skorzeny finally succumbed to
cancer on 5 July 1975, aged 67 in Madrid.
1975
02:48:46,449 --> 02:48:47,863
His ashes were later flown to Viena,
Austria to be interred
1976
02:48:47,933 --> 02:48:49,899
in the Skorzeny family plot at
Döblinger Friedhof.
1977
02:49:08,864 --> 02:49:10,537
OTTO SKORZENY
The most dangerous man in Europe.
1978
02:49:15,258 --> 02:49:18,180
1943 OPERATION GOMORRAH
1979
02:49:21,988 --> 02:49:29,029
On Saturday, July 24th, 792 RAF bombers
readied for a night attack on Hamburg.
1980
02:49:31,430 --> 02:49:35,259
Each loaded with tons of high
explosives and incendiary bombs.
1981
02:49:38,258 --> 02:49:42,578
It was the first of a series of attacks
that would continue for an entire week,
1982
02:49:43,984 --> 02:49:46,821
codenamed
Operation Gomorrah.
1983
02:49:53,540 --> 02:49:54,719
By 1943, the US had finally rearmed
the British.
1984
02:49:55,172 --> 02:49:57,103
Now the countries of Capitalism and
Communism and those they dominate,
1985
02:49:57,462 --> 02:49:59,235
will combine to seek the total annihilation
one of most advanced civilisation
1986
02:49:59,682 --> 02:50:00,889
the world had ever seen.
1987
02:50:01,559 --> 02:50:03,045
Under National Socialism,
1988
02:50:03,542 --> 02:50:05,276
Germany in a few short years
had arisen
1989
02:50:05,311 --> 02:50:06,843
from financial ruin and social
degradation,
1990
02:50:07,192 --> 02:50:09,082
to lead Europe in science, technology
art and literature.
1991
02:50:09,586 --> 02:50:10,906
It will now be surrounded.
1992
02:50:11,700 --> 02:50:13,586
The Germany wil eventually be attacked
by over 50 countries
1993
02:50:13,995 --> 02:50:15,594
led by the Soviet Union, Britain
and the US.
1994
02:50:17,135 --> 02:50:18,415
Over Hamburg, the Americans will
strategically bomb
1995
02:50:18,838 --> 02:50:20,484
industrial plants during the day,
whilst the British will purposely
1996
02:50:20,890 --> 02:50:22,758
target civilians at night, aiming at
the tighty-knit houses
1997
02:50:23,302 --> 02:50:24,673
of the working class communities.
1998
02:50:26,349 --> 02:50:28,085
In what was a heious and barbaric
war crime of epic proportions,
1999
02:50:28,583 --> 02:50:30,534
insigned by Churchill and RAF Commander
Arthur "Bomber" Harris,
2000
02:50:31,095 --> 02:50:32,981
over 50.000 will be incinerated in the
ensuing firestorm
2001
02:50:33,509 --> 02:50:35,604
that will become known as
Germany's "Hiroshima".
2002
02:50:39,128 --> 02:50:40,636
The Allies exepect the war
to be over by Christmas,
2003
02:50:41,184 --> 02:50:43,186
confident that the firebombing
of other cities will force the Germans
2004
02:50:43,643 --> 02:50:45,667
to turn over Adolf Hitler
and the Third Reich.
2005
02:50:48,545 --> 02:50:50,235
Yet, no matter how many bombs
Allies drop on German cities,
2006
02:50:50,683 --> 02:50:52,935
there will never be a hint of
an upraising against Führer.
2007
02:50:56,408 --> 02:50:59,163
"People were sitting there
in the cellar trembling,
2008
02:50:59,548 --> 02:51:03,658
and we saw the walls shivering.
2009
02:51:04,243 --> 02:51:06,416
As it was, but trembling,
and...
2010
02:51:08,071 --> 02:51:09,999
those nights we can never
forget in our lives.
2011
02:51:10,287 --> 02:51:11,533
I cannot forget it ever.
2012
02:51:13,695 --> 02:51:16,689
We asked ourselves, why are
they doing this to our Führer?
2013
02:51:16,716 --> 02:51:19,131
And we were told by everyone,
2014
02:51:19,523 --> 02:51:21,810
because they hated the Führer.
2015
02:51:22,051 --> 02:51:24,794
Because the Führer wanted
to create a better world.
2016
02:51:26,817 --> 02:51:28,969
Maybe Churchill and Roosevelt
2017
02:51:29,579 --> 02:51:32,517
thought they could demoralize
the German people with bombing?
2018
02:51:33,156 --> 02:51:37,884
And make them surrender?
But he reached the opposite of it."
2019
02:52:12,743 --> 02:52:15,341
In the aftermath of the firestorm,
2020
02:52:15,688 --> 02:52:18,365
almost a million refugees
fled Hamburg
2021
02:52:18,971 --> 02:52:21,112
and took with them stories
of the most terrible
2022
02:52:22,040 --> 02:52:23,517
horror that they'd witnessed.
2023
02:52:24,030 --> 02:52:26,116
This caused a panic across Germany,
2024
02:52:26,627 --> 02:52:29,265
which was unlike anything that
they'd ever experienced before.
2025
02:52:31,774 --> 02:52:35,551
In the aftermath of the Hamburg attacks,
the American and British commanders
2026
02:52:35,966 --> 02:52:38,781
remained committed to their
sharply divergent strategies.
2027
02:52:41,078 --> 02:52:44,342
Eaker continued to press precision
attacks on industrial targets.
2028
02:52:44,853 --> 02:52:45,740
Major General
Ira C. Eaker
2029
02:52:46,870 --> 02:52:49,317
Harris championed the bombing of cities.
Air Chief Marshal Arthur "Bomber" Harris
2030
02:52:49,940 --> 02:52:52,745
And the city he was
focused on - Berlin.
2031
02:52:52,776 --> 02:52:53,453
OPERATION "THUNDERCLAP"
2032
02:52:54,981 --> 02:52:56,509
the total devastation of the
center of Berlin
2033
02:53:01,063 --> 02:53:02,855
THE RED TERROR MOVES WEST
2034
02:53:05,335 --> 02:53:09,112
Stalin's military troikas come in
the wake of the resurgent Red Army.
2035
02:53:10,487 --> 02:53:13,086
They tour a land scorched
by the departing Germans,
2036
02:53:13,717 --> 02:53:15,356
convening kangaroo courts
2037
02:53:15,729 --> 02:53:19,706
to purge partisan units
of nationalists, anti-Communists.
2038
02:53:29,931 --> 02:53:32,477
There is no hiding place for
Nazi collaborators.
2039
02:53:33,107 --> 02:53:35,762
The white card of betrayal hangs
round their necks
2040
02:53:36,107 --> 02:53:37,761
as they pay the price of treason.
2041
02:53:47,322 --> 02:53:50,062
There is no pity for the young boys
who flocked in innocence
2042
02:53:50,392 --> 02:53:51,649
to join the Hitler Youth.
2043
02:53:53,178 --> 02:53:55,571
His desperate plea for clemency
will be in vain.
2044
02:54:12,446 --> 02:54:14,277
THE FLIGHT FROM COMMUNISM
2045
02:54:22,373 --> 02:54:24,140
As the Communists begin to recapture
territories formerly occupied by the Germans,
2046
02:54:24,634 --> 02:54:26,274
more and more refugees flee West
in a desperate bid to rich safety.
2047
02:54:30,737 --> 02:54:33,183
However, the exodus bring with it
poverly, over-crowding and malnutrition.
2048
02:54:33,671 --> 02:54:35,646
These conditions are the perfect breedig
ground for what has become known
2049
02:54:36,204 --> 02:54:38,084
over the centuries as the
"war disease"... typhus.
2050
02:54:41,306 --> 02:54:42,591
A typhus epidemic had already
broken out
2051
02:54:43,096 --> 02:54:44,885
during the summer of 1942
at the Auschwitz-Birkenau POW camp,
2052
02:54:45,357 --> 02:54:47,187
when between 1-19 August, over
4.000 deaths were registered,
2053
02:54:47,682 --> 02:54:49,341
at an average of 216
prisoers a day.
2054
02:54:50,442 --> 02:54:52,197
The Germans managed to save
thousands during the outbreak
2055
02:54:52,646 --> 02:54:54,612
using pesticide Zyklon B,
but the disease is so deadly
2056
02:54:55,021 --> 02:54:56,678
that the victim's clothing had to
be removed after death
2057
02:54:57,155 --> 02:54:59,112
and burned to destroy the
typhus-bearing lice.
2058
02:54:59,297 --> 02:55:01,499
In 1943, potentially devastating epidemics
in Sicily and throughout Italy
2059
02:55:01,908 --> 02:55:03,780
were only averted by cocerted American
delousing campaign
2060
02:55:04,364 --> 02:55:07,128
using the recenty-invented compound
called DDT.
2061
02:55:27,672 --> 02:55:31,542
"Germany at that time already
was besieged by 51 countries,
2062
02:55:31,838 --> 02:55:33,309
they were struggling for their lives.
2063
02:55:33,637 --> 02:55:34,660
And they took us in.
2064
02:55:37,754 --> 02:55:41,761
We were all put into what
looked like a great big bathroom.
2065
02:55:42,171 --> 02:55:45,747
And what happened eventually is
that they rained soap and water on us.
2066
02:55:46,099 --> 02:55:48,908
And the reason for that was
that we had to be deloused.
2067
02:55:49,234 --> 02:55:50,919
We were so full of lice.
2068
02:55:51,935 --> 02:55:55,175
So, when I hear about the shower heads
in the Holocaust, and all of that,
2069
02:55:55,519 --> 02:55:56,429
I know exactly what it was.
2070
02:55:56,755 --> 02:55:59,747
That was soap and water
raining down on us to delouse us.
2071
02:56:00,200 --> 02:56:01,393
To wash us down like dogs.
2072
02:56:04,202 --> 02:56:05,470
The same for the cutting of hair.
2073
02:56:05,816 --> 02:56:10,215
I mean we were all shorn
bald in order to stop the lice.
2074
02:56:10,515 --> 02:56:12,016
Everybody had lice in the war,
2075
02:56:12,377 --> 02:56:14,032
and this was just common
knowledge.
2076
02:56:17,006 --> 02:56:20,699
We considered ourselves lucky
if we could ride those cattle cars.
2077
02:56:21,118 --> 02:56:24,043
And yes, they were crammed full of
people, and yes it was very difficult,
2078
02:56:25,041 --> 02:56:26,607
you know, to travel like that.
2079
02:56:27,009 --> 02:56:28,612
You couldn't...
often you could not sit,
2080
02:56:29,018 --> 02:56:31,320
you had to stand because
they were crammed full.
2081
02:56:31,969 --> 02:56:33,612
This is how it was
in those years.
2082
02:56:33,954 --> 02:56:35,369
People were hanging
on those cattle cars.
2083
02:56:35,743 --> 02:56:37,930
When you see those pictures,
that could have been us.
2084
02:56:38,522 --> 02:56:39,462
We were like that.
2085
02:56:41,300 --> 02:56:42,696
The same when you
see the bunk beds.
2086
02:56:43,092 --> 02:56:46,054
My goodness, we were lucky if we had
bunk beds where you could sleep at night.
2087
02:56:46,495 --> 02:56:49,178
It meant we did not have to
sleep outside in the snow."

On June 5th, 1944,
2097
02:57:56,327 --> 02:57:59,566
as the greatest armada
ever assembled left southern England,
2098
02:57:59,966 --> 02:58:04,990
bound for the coast of France,
history remembers it as D-Day.
2099
02:58:08,031 --> 02:58:12,029
As the ships head towards France,
the men, many of whom will die,

take care of some
last-minute chores.

02:58:19,335 --> 02:58:23,249
This Hitler impersonator took the
men's mind off the task at hand,
2102
02:58:23,742 --> 02:58:25,209
at least for a few moments.
2103
02:58:28,690 --> 02:58:32,959
The time for fun ends as the
coast of France comes into view.
2104
02:58:33,922 --> 02:58:36,152
The next day on the
morning of June 6th,
2105
02:58:36,636 --> 02:58:40,040
a tremendous barrage strikes
Hitler's fortifications at Normandy
2106
02:58:40,495 --> 02:58:44,000
softening it up for the men
who will soon be in the beaches.
2107
02:58:45,060 --> 02:58:48,087
The night before,
23.000 airborne troops
2108
02:58:48,512 --> 02:58:52,579
parachuted behind enemy lines to
secure the flanks of the landing.
2109
02:58:53,531 --> 02:59:01,013
At Gold, Juno, Sword, Utah and
Omaha beaches, 130.000 Allied troops
2110
02:59:01,475 --> 02:59:04,248
would now attack five heavily
defended areas
2111
02:59:04,624 --> 02:59:06,303
of Hitler's Atlantic wall.
2112
02:59:08,575 --> 02:59:10,136
Both Roosevelt and Churchill, after
years of providing
2113
02:59:10,552 --> 02:59:12,360
the Soviet Union with financial
and military aid,
2114
02:59:12,763 --> 02:59:14,522
finaly send in troops to fight
and die for Stalin
2115
02:59:15,018 --> 02:59:16,491
and murderous Bolshevik regime.
2116
02:59:16,840 --> 02:59:18,536
The ideologies of Capitalism and
Communism will now combine
2117
02:59:19,062 --> 02:59:20,653
to annihilate not only Germany
and her people,
2118
02:59:21,155 --> 02:59:23,146
but the very notion of
Nacional Socialism itself.
2119
02:59:42,166 --> 02:59:43,638
JUNE 6, 1944
2120
02:59:46,485 --> 02:59:48,323
DOG GREEN SECTOR
OMAHA BEACH
2121
03:02:02,024 --> 03:02:03,548
THE BETRAYAL OF POLAND
2122
03:02:11,701 --> 03:02:15,502
The first overt signal that Stalin comes
not as liberator but as conqueror
2123
03:02:15,952 --> 03:02:17,515
is seen in late July,
2124
03:02:18,001 --> 03:02:21,529
as General Rokossovsky takes
the eastern Polish city of Lublin.
2125
03:02:22,831 --> 03:02:25,312
Within hours of the red flag's
appearance over the city,
2126
03:02:25,914 --> 03:02:29,726
Stalin has installed a puppet Communist
government: The Lublin Committee.
2127
03:02:34,116 --> 03:02:36,699
Loud denunciations by
nationalist Poles in London
2128
03:02:37,200 --> 03:02:39,806
bring little response from
the Allied corridors of power.
2129
03:02:40,462 --> 03:02:41,739
And the London Polish government
2130
03:02:42,175 --> 03:02:44,993
is power-less to prevent this theft
of its constituency.
2131
03:02:46,059 --> 03:02:48,402
But its cries will not
long go unheeded.
2132
03:02:49,191 --> 03:02:52,480
"Uncle" Joe Stalin is about
to drop his mask
2133
03:02:52,991 --> 03:02:55,095
and show his true face
to the world.
2134
03:02:57,957 --> 03:02:59,094
On the 29th of July,
2135
03:02:59,900 --> 03:03:03,635
Soviet Radio issues a general plea
to the Polish resistance movement,
2136
03:03:04,306 --> 03:03:05,192
"The Home Army".
2137
03:03:05,955 --> 03:03:10,249
The carefully worded broadcast calls for
active resistance to the occupying forces.
2138
03:03:11,383 --> 03:03:14,257
It gives the impression
without ever directly saying so
2139
03:03:14,863 --> 03:03:17,329
that the Red Army is about
to storm the city.
2140
03:03:21,700 --> 03:03:25,210
But the Red Army does not move
from its positions just east of the city.
2141
03:03:26,178 --> 03:03:29,640
And Stalin, oblivious to mounting
pressure from Western leaders,
2142
03:03:30,271 --> 03:03:32,004
grimly rejects Churchill's request
2143
03:03:32,845 --> 03:03:37,174
for the use of Soviet airfields for RAF
planes dropping supplies.
2144
03:03:37,662 --> 03:03:40,452
Without help, the Poles are doomed.
2145
03:03:42,902 --> 03:03:46,843
The battle for the city rages all
through August and into September.
2146
03:03:48,031 --> 03:03:53,607
But gradually, inevitably, the Polish
resistance movement is decimated.
2147
03:03:56,285 --> 03:03:59,083
Stalin bows to international
criticism only in September,
2148
03:03:59,744 --> 03:04:02,407
when an increase in Soviet aid
comes too late.
2149
03:04:06,845 --> 03:04:09,973
Last Home Army survivors
surrender in early October.
2150
03:04:14,033 --> 03:04:16,167
British Prime Minister Churchill
visits Moscow,
2151
03:04:16,557 --> 03:04:18,857
and he has come to discuss
the fate of Eastern Europe.
2152
03:04:19,321 --> 03:04:21,350
And he knows that there is little
that Britain
2153
03:04:21,695 --> 03:04:23,150
or even the United States can do
2154
03:04:23,791 --> 03:04:27,496
to stop a man whose ambitions are
backed by Red Army occupation.
2155
03:04:28,753 --> 03:04:31,842
And so, the two leaders
reach a pragmatic agreement.
2156
03:04:32,558 --> 03:04:34,433
Jotted down on a piece of
scrap paper,
2157
03:04:34,912 --> 03:04:37,480
he concedes Soviet control
over Bulgaria,
2158
03:04:37,863 --> 03:04:38,868
Hungary and Romania,
2159
03:04:39,404 --> 03:04:42,980
in return for Stalin's guarantee
of nonintervention in Greek politics.
2160
03:04:44,004 --> 03:04:46,220
The future of Yugoslavia
is left open.
2161
03:04:46,923 --> 03:04:49,029
And Stalin refuses even to
discuss Poland.
2162
03:04:58,857 --> 03:05:00,488
THE ENEMY WITHIN
2163
03:05:10,508 --> 03:05:12,056
Although Allied propaganda would
have us believe otherwise,
2164
03:05:12,544 --> 03:05:13,926
Adolf Hitler was one of the
most popular leader
2165
03:05:14,382 --> 03:05:15,702
the world had ever seen.
2166
03:05:17,019 --> 03:05:18,272
However, as in the case of
Julius Caesar,
2167
03:05:18,784 --> 03:05:20,518
the danger to the Führer
would come from withim.
2168
03:05:24,215 --> 03:05:26,458
Hitler had always doubted the loyalty
of some officers from the aristocracy,
2169
03:05:26,936 --> 03:05:28,864
and in 1944 he will be proven
right.
2170
03:06:35,151 --> 03:06:37,804
Only assassination could snap
the bonds of loyalty
2171
03:06:38,169 --> 03:06:39,538
which still bound millions
to Hitler.
2172
03:06:41,925 --> 03:06:45,369
The only plotters with access to
the Führer were army officers.
2173
03:06:45,785 --> 03:06:47,646
The officer who came closest
to killing Hitler
2174
03:06:48,180 --> 03:06:50,089
was Colonel Claus von Stauffenberg.
2175
03:06:50,682 --> 03:06:51,914
Claus von Stauffenberg.
2176
03:06:52,327 --> 03:06:56,713
He had his opportunity at a
briefing on the 20th of July, 1944.
2177
03:06:59,335 --> 03:07:02,947
"This was the time precisely
when we were at a very...
2178
03:07:04,123 --> 03:07:06,659
precarious military situation.
2179
03:07:07,884 --> 03:07:12,188
And the only man who could possibly
stave off disaster was Adolf Hitler.
2180
03:07:12,807 --> 03:07:14,771
That opinion was shared
by many Germans,
2181
03:07:15,235 --> 03:07:17,121
Germans who did not belong
to the Party."
2182

ERWIN VON WITZLEBEN
EXECUTED 8 AUGUST 1944
2185
03:11:05,941 --> 03:11:07,650
At the Wolfschanze,
Hitler's headquarters in East Prussia,
2186
03:11:08,132 --> 03:11:09,698
Claus von Stauffenberg and fellow
conspirators
2187
03:11:10,106 --> 03:11:11,555
fail in their attempt on Hitler's
life
2188
03:11:12,033 --> 03:11:13,761
and the coup d'etet they
wished to effect.
2189
03:11:15,304 --> 03:11:17,965
On 21 July 1944, at 12:30 A.M.,
Stauffenberg is executed by firing squad.
2190
03:11:18,599 --> 03:11:20,622
The other conspirators are
rounded up - judged to be traitors -
2191
03:11:21,196 --> 03:11:23,085
either shot by firing squad
or hung.
2192
03:11:25,392 --> 03:11:27,492
Fearful and deluded, they had tried
to negotiate a separate peace treaty
2193
03:11:27,961 --> 03:11:29,576
with Roosevelt and Churchill,
in the futile hope
2194
03:11:30,111 --> 03:11:31,903
of preventing Stalin from
invading Germany.
2195
03:11:55,678 --> 03:11:57,506

Part 14
Adolf Hitler - The Gretest Story NEVER Told!
2199
03:12:19,576 --> 03:12:21,488
"MY HONOUR IS MY LOYALITY"
2200
03:12:23,025 --> 03:12:24,686
The following footage features
the translated words of Léon Degrelle,
2201
03:12:25,079 --> 03:12:26,606
one of the most famous of
the Waffen SS.
2202
03:12:27,193 --> 03:12:28,714
Born in Belgium, he joined
as a private
2203
03:12:29,131 --> 03:12:30,846
and earned all stripes from
corporal to general
2204
03:12:31,229 --> 03:12:32,485
for exceptional bravery in combat
2205
03:12:32,948 --> 03:12:34,421
and was the recipient of
the highest honours.
2206
03:12:35,266 --> 03:12:36,131
the Ritterkreuz
2207
03:12:36,539 --> 03:12:37,619
the Oak Leaves
2208
03:12:38,057 --> 03:12:39,122
the Gold German Cross
2209
03:12:39,629 --> 03:12:40,940
... and numerous other decorations
2210
03:12:41,412 --> 03:12:43,138
for outstanding vaour under
enemy fire.
2211
03:12:44,248 --> 03:12:45,764
One of the last to fight on
the Eastern Front,
2212
03:12:45,987 --> 03:12:47,473
he was engaged in 75 heavy
hand-to-hand combat actions
2213
03:12:47,946 --> 03:12:49,488
and was wounded on several
occasions.
2214
03:12:51,951 --> 03:12:53,217
Léon Degrelle escaped unconditional
surrender
2215
03:12:53,615 --> 03:12:55,112
by flying 1500 miles across Europe,
2216
03:12:55,551 --> 03:12:57,210
surviving constant fire along
the way
2217
03:12:57,633 --> 03:12:59,249
and managing to crash land
on the beach
2218
03:12:59,707 --> 03:13:01,434
of San Sebastian in Spain,
critically wounded.
2219
03:13:01,499 --> 03:13:02,576
Against all odds, he survived
2220
03:13:03,008 --> 03:13:04,592
and lived out the rest of
his life in Spain
2221
03:13:04,808 --> 03:13:06,536
where he eventually died
at the age of 87.
2222
03:13:07,417 --> 03:13:08,744
Adolf Hitler once told him,
2223
03:13:09,208 --> 03:13:11,294
"If I had a son, I would want him
to be just like you."
2224
03:13:21,486 --> 03:13:23,214
General Léon Degrelle
2225
03:13:31,219 --> 03:13:34,059
Young men who joined the SS were
trained like no other army in the world.
2226
03:13:34,990 --> 03:13:37,638
Military and academic instructions
were intensive.
2227
03:13:38,554 --> 03:13:40,889
But it was the physical
training that was most rigorous.
2228
03:13:41,910 --> 03:13:43,552
They practiced sports
with excellence.
2229
03:13:44,423 --> 03:13:47,605
Each of them could have performed
with distinction at the Olympic Games.
2230
03:13:48,596 --> 03:13:51,520
The extraordinary physical endurance
of the SS on the Russian front,
2231
03:13:52,288 --> 03:13:55,309
which so amazed the world, was
due to their intensive training.
2232
03:13:56,322 --> 03:13:58,169
The most striking feature
of the Waffen SS
2233
03:13:59,040 --> 03:14:02,588
was that it was composed of volunteers
from some 30 different countries.
2234
03:14:03,827 --> 03:14:04,853
What cause gathered them,
2235
03:14:05,252 --> 03:14:07,754
and why did they volunteer
their lives?
2236
03:14:08,525 --> 03:14:09,618
Was it a German phenomenon?
2237
03:14:11,113 --> 03:14:12,176
At the beginning, yes.
2238
03:14:13,433 --> 03:14:14,909
In addition to Germans
from Germany,
2239
03:14:15,497 --> 03:14:19,340
northwestern Europeans, descendants of
Germans from all across Europe, enlisted.
2240
03:14:19,961 --> 03:14:23,155
Then in 1941, during the great clash
with the Soviet Union,
2241
03:14:23,728 --> 03:14:25,761
rose the European Waffen SS.
2242
03:14:27,265 --> 03:14:30,084
It was on the front lines that the
results of the SS physical training
2243
03:14:30,429 --> 03:14:31,227
could really be noticed.
2244
03:14:31,857 --> 03:14:34,592
An SS officer had the same
rigorous training as the soldiers.
2245
03:14:35,540 --> 03:14:38,769
A relationship of the equality and mutual
respect between soldiers and officers
2246
03:14:39,463 --> 03:14:40,446
was always present.
2247
03:14:41,277 --> 03:14:44,181
Half of all division commanders
were killed in action - half!
2248
03:14:45,319 --> 03:14:47,232
There is not an army in the
world where this happened.
2249
03:14:48,040 --> 03:14:50,801
The SS officer always
led his troops into battle.
2250
03:14:51,344 --> 03:14:54,247
To them, Hitler was the most
exceptional man ever seen.
2251
03:14:55,316 --> 03:14:56,439
Hitler understood them,
2252
03:14:56,891 --> 03:15:00,251
and had the remarkable idea
to open the doors to the SS.
2253
03:15:01,361 --> 03:15:03,507
The response to Hitler's
offer was overwhelming.
2254
03:15:04,035 --> 03:15:07,430
Legions from Norway, Denmark,
Holland and Flanders were formed.
2255
03:15:08,529 --> 03:15:09,724
Hitler welcomed them home.
2256
03:15:10,961 --> 03:15:13,505
German racialism has been
deliberately distorted.
2257
03:15:14,656 --> 03:15:17,701
It was concerned with making the German
race strong and healthy in every way.
2258
03:15:18,753 --> 03:15:21,690
Hitler was not interested in
having millions of degenerates.
2259
03:15:22,217 --> 03:15:25,303
Today one finds rampant alcohol
and drug addiction everywhere.
2260
03:15:26,175 --> 03:15:28,183
Hitler cared that German
families be healthy,
2261
03:15:28,751 --> 03:15:31,773
cared that they raised healthy children
for the renewal of a healthy nation.
2262
03:15:32,609 --> 03:15:35,953
German racialism meant rediscovering
the creative values of their own race,
2263
03:15:36,566 --> 03:15:37,681
rediscovering their culture.
2264
03:15:38,511 --> 03:15:40,492
It was a search for excellence,
a noble idea.
2265
03:15:41,837 --> 03:15:44,878
National Socialist racialism
was not against the other races.
2266
03:15:45,467 --> 03:15:47,542
It aimed at defending
and improving its race,
2267
03:15:47,996 --> 03:15:50,894
and wished that all other races
did the same for themselves.
2268
03:15:51,482 --> 03:15:53,193
That was demonstrated
when the Waffen SS
2269
03:15:53,588 --> 03:15:57,196
enlarged its rank to include
60.000 Islamic SS.
2270
03:15:58,387 --> 03:16:00,398
The Waffen SS respected their
way of life,
2271
03:16:00,828 --> 03:16:02,997
their customs and their religious
beliefs.
2272
03:16:03,832 --> 03:16:05,954
Each Islamic SS battalion
had an imam.
2273
03:16:06,667 --> 03:16:07,983
Each company had a mullah.
2274
03:16:08,960 --> 03:16:11,888
It was our common wish that their
qualities found their highest expression.
2275
03:16:12,499 --> 03:16:13,814
This was our racialism.
2276
03:16:14,742 --> 03:16:16,725
I was present when each
of my Islamic comrades
2277
03:16:17,114 --> 03:16:19,196
received a personal gift from
Hitler during the new year.
2278
03:16:19,937 --> 03:16:21,550
It was a pendant
with a small Koran.
2279
03:16:22,668 --> 03:16:24,921
Hitler was honoring them
with this small symbolic gift.
2280
03:16:25,713 --> 03:16:27,207
He was honoring
them with what was
2281
03:16:27,541 --> 03:16:30,184
the most important aspect
of their lives and their history.
2282
03:16:31,045 --> 03:16:33,566
National Socialist racialism
was loyal to the German race
2283
03:16:33,901 --> 03:16:35,451
and totally respected
all other races.
2284
03:16:36,240 --> 03:16:38,991
The young European volunteers
had observed two things.
2285
03:16:39,975 --> 03:16:43,366
First, that Hitler was the only leader
who was capable of building Europe,
2286
03:16:43,930 --> 03:16:44,976
and secondly that Hitler,
2287
03:16:45,737 --> 03:16:48,730
and Hitler alone, could defeat
the world threat of Communism.
2288
03:16:49,367 --> 03:16:51,835
The Communists never aimed at
serving the interests of Russia.
2289
03:16:52,752 --> 03:16:55,714
Communism does not limit itself
to acquire chunks of territories,
2290
03:16:56,352 --> 03:16:58,890
but aims at total world domination.
2291
03:16:59,939 --> 03:17:01,750
Alone among all the leaders
of the world,
2292
03:17:02,107 --> 03:17:05,578
Hitler saw this concept as
an equal threat to all nations.
2293
03:17:06,405 --> 03:17:08,700
Right through the war the
Waffen SS never retreated.
2294
03:17:09,280 --> 03:17:10,679
They would rather
die than retreat.
2295
03:17:12,654 --> 03:17:14,172
One cannot forget the figures.
2296
03:17:15,018 --> 03:17:20,967
During the 1941 winter the Waffen SS
lost 43.000 men in front of Moscow.
2297
03:17:22,030 --> 03:17:26,042
The regiment "Der Führer" fought
almost literally to the last man.
2298
03:17:26,305 --> 03:17:28,936
Only 35 men survived out
of the entire regiment.
2299
03:17:30,036 --> 03:17:33,160
The Der Führer men stood fast,
and no Soviet troops got through.
2300
03:17:33,559 --> 03:17:36,098
And that is what Hitler
admired most of all: guts.
2301
03:17:37,034 --> 03:17:39,645
For him it was not enough to have
intelligent or clever associates.
2302
03:17:40,467 --> 03:17:41,944
These people can often fall
to pieces,
2303
03:17:42,693 --> 03:17:45,798
as we will see during the following
winter at the Battle of Stalingrad,
2304
03:17:46,206 --> 03:17:47,365
with General Paulus.
2305
03:17:47,732 --> 03:17:50,253
The defeat there was decided
by a man without courage.
2306
03:17:50,410 --> 03:17:52,926
He was not capable to face
danger with determination.
2307
03:17:53,847 --> 03:17:55,610
To say, "I will not surrender.
2308
03:17:56,529 --> 03:17:58,166
I will stand fast until I win."
2309
03:17:58,843 --> 03:18:01,842
But he was morally and
physically gutless, and he lost.
2310
03:18:02,319 --> 03:18:03,257
Without their heroism,
2311
03:18:03,655 --> 03:18:06,452
Germany would have been annihilated
by December 1941.
2312
03:18:07,005 --> 03:18:11,052
The Roosevelts and the Churchills sold
out Europe in Tehran, Yalta and Potsdam.
2313
03:18:12,833 --> 03:18:14,890
Not since the great religious
orders of the middle ages
2314
03:18:15,575 --> 03:18:18,154
had there been such
selfless idealism and heroism.
2315
03:18:19,104 --> 03:18:20,529
In this century of materialism,
2316
03:18:20,831 --> 03:18:23,481
the SS stand out as shining light
of spirituality.
2317
03:18:24,250 --> 03:18:27,742
"Greatness in adversity'" is
the distinction of the SS.
2318
03:18:28,870 --> 03:18:30,109
THE HOLY OATH OF THE WAFFEN SS
2319
03:18:30,536 --> 03:18:33,050
"I swear to thee Adolf Hitler as Führer
and Chancellor of the German Reih
2320
03:18:33,085 --> 03:18:34,378
loyality and bravery.
2321
03:18:34,439 --> 03:18:36,656
I vow to thee and to the superiors
whom thou shall appoint obedience
2322
03:18:36,662 --> 03:18:38,713
until dead so help me God."
2323
03:18:47,646 --> 03:18:49,484
STALIN'S PURGES
2324
03:18:57,617 --> 03:19:01,177
With the return of the Soviet forces
in 1944, the mountain peoples,
2325
03:19:02,089 --> 03:19:04,288
Ingushe, Balkars, and above all,
Chechens,
2326
03:19:04,774 --> 03:19:07,438
are rounded up in dawn raids
of new horror.
2327
03:19:08,212 --> 03:19:11,291
Mobile NKVD units
are sent into the hills.
2328
03:19:17,615 --> 03:19:20,232
Whole peoples,
uncomprehending of their guilt,
2329
03:19:20,782 --> 03:19:22,924
are marked down for
punitive deportation.
2330
03:19:36,810 --> 03:19:41,267
It is the tragedy of a small nation in
the hands of a vast and ruthless state.
2331
03:19:42,091 --> 03:19:43,411
They're dragged from their homes,
2332
03:19:43,895 --> 03:19:45,265
their lifestyle destroyed,
2333
03:19:45,897 --> 03:19:48,889
leaving whole areas empty
of any inhabitants.
2334
03:19:53,474 --> 03:19:56,295
And when German troops are
driven from the Crimea in May,
2335
03:19:56,835 --> 03:20:01,791
Stalin is convinced the Tartar people had
been guilty of collaboration with the enemy.
2336
03:20:03,809 --> 03:20:06,401
He immediately dissolves the Muslim
autonomous republic
2337
03:20:06,730 --> 03:20:08,154
of the Crimean Tartars,
2338
03:20:08,833 --> 03:20:13,412
and punitively deports 400.000
people, men, women and children.
2339
03:20:17,147 --> 03:20:19,648
And beyond the misery of
shocked and frightened people,
2340
03:20:20,728 --> 03:20:22,846
the disregard for military needs.
2341
03:20:24,020 --> 03:20:28,018
This is a time when the Soviet forces
need all the transport they can get.
2342
03:20:34,690 --> 03:20:36,117
THE GENOCIDE OF GERMANY
2343
03:20:44,325 --> 03:20:44,828
EAST PRUSSIA 1944
2344
03:20:45,219 --> 03:20:46,531
East Prussia, with
its forests and lakes,
2345
03:20:47,138 --> 03:20:50,354
was the first part of prewar German
territory the Red Army entered.
2346
03:20:54,286 --> 03:20:57,389
It is estimated that as many as 2
million German women were raped
2347
03:20:57,710 --> 03:20:59,026
by Red Army soldiers.
2348
03:21:01,355 --> 03:21:03,172
"From 1944 to 1947
2349
03:21:03,665 --> 03:21:07,537
what occurred to Germany,
in the last year of the war
2350
03:21:07,918 --> 03:21:12,839
and the immediate postwar
years was a crime so terrible;
2351
03:21:13,175 --> 03:21:16,008
and the world has never
experienced such a crime like this.
2352
03:21:16,621 --> 03:21:20,957
And the fact that it remains a secret
doesn't mean it is any less of a crime,
2353
03:21:22,227 --> 03:21:27,002
but it probably was the largest,
the darkest and the bloodiest, uh...
2354
03:21:28,051 --> 03:21:30,091
secret in world history.
2355
03:21:30,584 --> 03:21:32,662
The massacres, the rapes,
the starvation,
2356
03:21:33,902 --> 03:21:39,081
the deliberate attempt to
destroy a nation entirely. Entirely!
2357
03:21:39,544 --> 03:21:42,034
Now I'm not talking about
leaving something left.
2358
03:21:42,624 --> 03:21:44,555
Basically, that was the uh...
2359
03:21:45,061 --> 03:21:47,202
uh that's what they were,
the Allies were traveling under
2360
03:21:47,531 --> 03:21:51,186
in the last year of the war and
the immediate postwar years.
2361
03:21:51,401 --> 03:21:55,396
This nightmarish attempt
to destroy Germany.
2362
03:21:55,687 --> 03:21:58,153
A terror bombing toward
the late stages of the war.
2363
03:21:58,605 --> 03:21:59,611
A terror bombing:
there's no other...
2364
03:22:00,147 --> 03:22:04,475
There's no other phrase that says
it quite as well as "terror bombing".
2365
03:22:04,969 --> 03:22:08,527
Long after all military objects
had been blown to bits / splinters,
2366
03:22:09,213 --> 03:22:13,043
the American and British Air Forces
continued to blast German cities,
2367
03:22:13,597 --> 03:22:15,209
blasting the rubble to even
more rubble.
2368
03:22:16,370 --> 03:22:20,004
A lot of folks are still, to this very
day, their bones are still buried
2369
03:22:20,531 --> 03:22:21,647
underneath the rubble in Germany;
2370
03:22:22,031 --> 03:22:23,853
that was built over of course,
after the war.
2371
03:22:24,373 --> 03:22:27,220
What it was like for...
a woman?
2372
03:22:27,618 --> 03:22:32,104
Let us say a... let's say a 45
year old something woman,
2373
03:22:32,463 --> 03:22:37,444
a German who was in a village
when the Russians finally came,
2374
03:22:38,027 --> 03:22:40,129
when they finally burst through
and the fighting had past.
2375
03:22:40,612 --> 03:22:44,163
And then comes the second
echelon of Russian troops,
2376
03:22:44,578 --> 03:22:50,705
for the most part Asiatics and Mongolians
from the Rusk Russian eastern republics.
2377
03:22:51,559 --> 03:22:54,015
And the rapes began... and
what does a woman do?
2378
03:22:54,519 --> 03:22:55,947
How do you deal with rape?
2379
03:22:56,274 --> 03:22:58,367
And I'm not talking
about just one soldier
2380
03:22:59,103 --> 03:23:01,373
perhaps dragging you
into a room and raping you.
2381
03:23:01,818 --> 03:23:04,021
I'm talking about 5 maybe 10
at a time;
2382
03:23:04,658 --> 03:23:06,775
for days, for weeks, this goes on.
2383
03:23:08,227 --> 03:23:12,328
Some women, I mean again we're talking
in the words of the people themselves
2384
03:23:14,875 --> 03:23:16,919
They did all sorts of
things to avoid rapes.
2385
03:23:17,397 --> 03:23:21,107
They become almost indifferent to it...
indifferent to it after a while; almost.
2386
03:23:21,684 --> 03:23:22,672
Some of them lost their minds.
2387
03:23:22,984 --> 03:23:26,560
But some women, who were
actually good looking prior to the rapes,
2388
03:23:27,214 --> 03:23:30,127
actually started trying to
make themselves look uglier.
2389
03:23:31,170 --> 03:23:34,258
They would feign illnesses
and act like they were cripples.
2390
03:23:34,981 --> 03:23:36,060
And it still didn't work.
2391
03:23:37,028 --> 03:23:38,122
The madness for the uh...
2392
03:23:39,002 --> 03:23:43,442
among the Russian soldiers
for rape was incredible,
2393
03:23:43,929 --> 03:23:48,171
and sometimes women were raped 10,
20 times a night, a 100 times a week.
2394
03:23:48,435 --> 03:23:50,272
Sometimes they were raped
to death;
2395
03:23:51,063 --> 03:23:52,466
and then they were raped
some more.
2396
03:23:52,895 --> 03:23:56,436
And of course mothers with
children
2397
03:23:56,780 --> 03:23:59,516
were frantic to try to protect
their little ones.
2398
03:24:00,000 --> 03:24:01,215
They'd do anything they could.
2399
03:24:01,560 --> 03:24:03,074
Of course they would give their
bodies gladly;
2400
03:24:03,658 --> 03:24:05,033
if they could protect their children.
2401
03:24:05,406 --> 03:24:06,310
Mostly it didn't work though.
2402
03:24:06,732 --> 03:24:08,400
There was an old saying,
"from 8 to 88".
2403
03:24:09,717 --> 03:24:12,816
That was the time... that was
the age frame for rapes,
2404
03:24:13,640 --> 03:24:14,565
if you can believe that.
2405
03:24:15,243 --> 03:24:19,084
Even grandmothers were
taken and raped repeatedly.
2406
03:24:19,342 --> 03:24:24,250
Even people that were sick and women who
were on their periods; nothing was sacred.
2407
03:24:24,637 --> 03:24:28,333
And just very nearly extinguished
the German people altogether."
2408
03:24:32,741 --> 03:24:34,303
"Use force and break the racial
pride of these German women.
2409
03:24:34,734 --> 03:24:36,344
Take them as your lawful booty.
Kill! As you storm onward.
2410
03:24:36,774 --> 03:24:38,270
Kill, you gallant soldiers of
the Red Army!"
2411
03:24:38,671 --> 03:24:40,119
Jewish Soviet Commisar
Ilya Ehrenburg
2412
03:24:45,361 --> 03:24:46,655
FYODOR KHROPATIY
27th Soviet Army
2413
03:24:48,229 --> 03:24:50,595
What if you found one of your
fellow soldiers had raped someone?
2414
03:24:51,979 --> 03:24:54,164
Nobody took any notice
2415
03:24:54,675 --> 03:24:57,266
on the conrary, soldiers
told each other everything
2416
03:24:59,595 --> 03:25:03,170
it was almost considered to be
heroic or couageous
2417
03:25:03,732 --> 03:25:09,445
... to sleep with a women -
or several
2418
03:25:14,410 --> 03:25:18,056
Even if someone was murdered -
well, it was war
2419
03:25:21,107 --> 03:25:26,913
So it was no big deal if a soldier
slept with a women or girl.
2420
03:25:34,463 --> 03:25:35,098
Our valint troops continue
their march to the west
2421
03:25:43,865 --> 03:25:46,024
But there were those who had
been glad to see the Red Army.
2422
03:25:47,180 --> 03:25:49,966
First, the population of the
occupied parts of the Soviet Union,
2423
03:25:51,222 --> 03:25:52,908
and now the Soviet prisoners
of war.
2424
03:25:54,466 --> 03:25:57,417
Tatyana Naneva, who had served
in the Red Army as a nurse,
2425
03:25:58,081 --> 03:26:00,480
was one of more than a
million Soviet prisoners of war,
2426
03:26:00,932 --> 03:26:03,740
who had been transported to camps
within the greater German Reich.
2427
03:26:05,908 --> 03:26:07,783
She was overjoyed when
the Red Army arrived,
2428
03:26:08,535 --> 03:26:10,335
a feeling that was not reciprocated.
2429
03:26:15,550 --> 03:26:18,716
Nearly 2 million Soviet prisoners of
war were liberated by the Red Army.
2430
03:26:19,801 --> 03:26:21,690
All were to suffer at
the hands of Stalin.
2431
03:26:23,120 --> 03:26:24,518
For many, like Tatyana Naneva,
2432
03:26:25,269 --> 03:26:28,790
their suffering began here in a
filtration camp run by the secret police.
2433
03:26:30,100 --> 03:26:32,566
Their problem was that Stalin
maintained that the Soviet Union
2434
03:26:32,934 --> 03:26:36,167
had no prisoners of war,
only traitors.
2435
03:26:37,774 --> 03:26:39,684
For the crime of being captured
by the Germans,
2436
03:26:40,522 --> 03:26:42,255
volunteer nurse Tatyana Naneva
2437
03:26:42,566 --> 03:26:44,262
was sentenced to six years
in the gulag
2438
03:26:45,069 --> 03:26:46,926
and lifetime exile in Siberia.
2439
03:26:55,075 --> 03:26:57,139

Part 15
Adolf Hitler - The Gretest Story NEVER Told!
2441
03:27:27,985 --> 03:27:29,908
On 7 July 1944, around 57.000
German prisoners
2442
03:27:30,356 --> 03:27:31,940
were marched through the
streets of Moscow
2443
03:27:32,371 --> 03:27:33,741
to be loaded onto cattle trains
2444
03:27:34,181 --> 03:27:35,725
and transported to the other
regions of Siberia.
2445
03:27:39,500 --> 03:27:40,884
After the march ended the streets
were
2446
03:27:41,318 --> 03:27:42,949
symbolicaly disifected of
"fashist" footsteps...
2447
03:27:45,193 --> 03:27:46,784
Between 1939 and 1945, around
7 million German and Axis POWs
2448
03:27:47,257 --> 03:27:48,386
were sent to the Soviet Gulags,
2449
03:27:48,832 --> 03:27:50,408
with estimated German deaths
alone over3 million.
2450
03:27:54,551 --> 03:27:56,427
The majority of prisoners sent here
will never see
2451
03:27:56,884 --> 03:27:58,744
their home and families again.
2452
03:28:28,742 --> 03:28:30,739
However, one German soldier
marching in Moscow
2453
03:28:31,178 --> 03:28:32,855
would defy all odds to see
his family again.
2454
03:28:34,858 --> 03:28:36,741
Sentenced to 25 years hard labour
in the mines
2455
03:28:37,198 --> 03:28:39,661
of the barren eastern reaches of
Siberia, he will eventually escape.
2456
03:28:41,129 --> 03:28:42,750
It will take him 3 years to cross
almost 9.000 miles,
2457
03:28:43,460 --> 03:28:45,836
enduring the most inhospitable
conditions on earth.
2458
03:29:03,376 --> 03:29:04,988
His name was Cornelius Rost,
but to avoid retribution from the KGB
2459
03:29:05,549 --> 03:29:07,460
he would be forced to use
the alias of "Clemens Forell".
2460
03:29:07,890 --> 03:29:09,097
His book will be translated into
15 laguages,
2461
03:29:09,489 --> 03:29:11,096
selling over 12 million copies
worldwide.
2462
03:29:11,516 --> 03:29:13,421
It was the basis for an
award-winning film in 2002.
2463
03:34:12,667 --> 03:34:14,739
October 1949
2464
03:34:44,442 --> 03:34:46,091
Christmas 1952
2465
03:35:18,122 --> 03:35:19,858
DECEMBER 1944
2466
03:35:24,857 --> 03:35:26,773
Setbacks for Germany und the Axis
coutriees accelerated during 1944,
2467
03:35:27,256 --> 03:35:29,065
but in December the same year,
Hitler devised a brilliant plan
2468
03:35:29,546 --> 03:35:31,106
which would take the Allies
completely by suprise
2469
03:35:31,513 --> 03:35:33,090
and almost turn the war
on its head.
2470
03:35:33,314 --> 03:35:34,923
Fought in the densely forested
Ardennes mountain region of Belgium,
2471
03:35:35,323 --> 03:35:37,715
devastating German offensive
would become known as...
2472
03:35:39,358 --> 03:35:40,949
THE BATTLE OF THE BULGE
2473
03:35:53,006 --> 03:35:54,183
In December 1944,
2474
03:35:54,655 --> 03:35:58,948
American forces were pummeled by German
Panzer divisions in the Ardennes forest.
2475
03:35:59,298 --> 03:36:01,293
It was a decisive moment in
World War Two.
2476
03:36:01,984 --> 03:36:04,951
Hitler would either succeed in pushing
back the approaching Allied Armies,
2477
03:36:05,583 --> 03:36:07,428
if he can drive the American's
and the British
2478
03:36:07,755 --> 03:36:09,035
all the way back to the
coast line,
2479
03:36:09,620 --> 03:36:12,680
he may be able to force
them into a negotiated peace?
2480
03:36:13,720 --> 03:36:16,944
Late in October, the Germans
begin secretly moving their units
2481
03:36:17,264 --> 03:36:20,467
to points East of the Ardennes,
without arousing Allied suspicions.
2482
03:36:20,974 --> 03:36:24,293
A quarter million Germans roll
towards the Western Front.
2483
03:36:25,516 --> 03:36:28,150
But officers in Allied
intelligence refuse to believe it.
2484
03:36:28,692 --> 03:36:32,484
They all agree the Germans don't have
the military strength for such an attack.
2485
03:36:32,952 --> 03:36:34,888
Early morning on December 16th,
2486
03:36:35,343 --> 03:36:39,339
a shattering barrage of German
artillery and rocket fire, lights the skies.
2487
03:36:48,427 --> 03:36:50,084
Gloomy weather for
the next several days,
2488
03:36:50,419 --> 03:36:54,307
provides effective cover for the German
might, that churns over the roads.
2489
03:36:55,571 --> 03:36:56,884
Panzer units slash through.
2490
03:36:57,276 --> 03:37:01,637
In the center, the Germans gouge a 12 mile
corridor to the approaches of Bastogne.
2491
03:37:02,350 --> 03:37:04,476
They are ordered to surround
and bypass this town,
2492
03:37:04,994 --> 03:37:06,579
then drive for the Meuse river.
2493
03:37:11,667 --> 03:37:14,697
There is all out confusion.
Communications are sketchy.
2494
03:37:15,223 --> 03:37:18,592
American troops discover
Germans in front and behind them.
2495
03:37:20,167 --> 03:37:22,039
Panzers under
cover of fog and rain,
2496
03:37:22,543 --> 03:37:26,690
slip into American armored columns,
then blast the Americans off the road.
2497
03:37:31,548 --> 03:37:36,193
More than 7.000 soldiers of the 106th
destroy their weapons and give up.
2498
03:37:36,824 --> 03:37:40,992
Next to Bataan, this is the largest
mass surrender in military history.
2499
03:37:43,968 --> 03:37:45,886
Elsewhere, with
communications shattered,
2500
03:37:46,231 --> 03:37:48,583
other Americans fight isolated
holding actions.
2501
03:37:49,515 --> 03:37:52,686
Gradually, small scattered units
slow the German advance.
2502
03:37:53,061 --> 03:37:54,439
Especially around St. Vith.
2503
03:37:55,057 --> 03:37:59,364
The 5th Panzer Army, had good success,
in the Southern part of the invasion.
2504
03:37:59,871 --> 03:38:03,045
However, the effects were not
what the Germans had wanted.
2505
03:38:03,228 --> 03:38:05,588
They were trying to race to
the Meuse river in two days.
2506
03:38:06,403 --> 03:38:08,560
On the third day, General
Dwight Eisenhower,
2507
03:38:08,862 --> 03:38:10,422
orders General Patton's third Army
2508
03:38:10,757 --> 03:38:13,556
to attack the German flank
and relieve Bastogne.
2509
03:38:14,180 --> 03:38:17,740
December 20th, the Battle
of the Bulge, is in its fifth day.
2510
03:38:18,133 --> 03:38:22,020
American forces are reeling under the
impact of the mighty German offensive.
2511
03:38:23,604 --> 03:38:28,109
General Patton and his third Army, are driving
North toward Bastogne, to counter attack.
2512
03:38:29,708 --> 03:38:33,436
December 21st, a wintery snow
falls throughout the Ardennes.
2513
03:38:37,172 --> 03:38:39,118
St. Vith is taken by the Germans.
2514
03:38:39,483 --> 03:38:42,209
Now the center route across
the Ardennes is wide open.
2515
03:38:42,714 --> 03:38:45,316
The Germans flow around Bastogne
on all sides,
2516
03:38:45,645 --> 03:38:47,709
encircling the American forces there.
2517
03:38:52,368 --> 03:38:55,184
They thought the Germans were
beaten, after the race across France.
2518
03:38:55,961 --> 03:38:57,057
The Germans were not beaten.
2519
03:39:01,459 --> 03:39:06,853
December 22nd: the situation in Bastogne,
grows desperate; ammunition is short.
2520
03:39:07,325 --> 03:39:12,652
McAuliffe's artillery battalions are down
to 10 rounds per gun; and it's still snowing.
2521
03:39:13,275 --> 03:39:15,126
The cold causes more casualties.
2522
03:39:15,975 --> 03:39:18,102
Frostbite is rampant
among the troops.
2523
03:39:18,993 --> 03:39:22,095
The Germans send an emissary
to Bastogne, with an ultimatum.
2524
03:39:22,581 --> 03:39:24,213
Since the Americans
are surrounded
2525
03:39:24,422 --> 03:39:28,891
and there is only one possibility to save
them from death: an honorable surrender.
2526
03:39:29,473 --> 03:39:32,401
General McAuliffe's reply
is short and to the point.
2527
03:39:32,809 --> 03:39:36,231
McAuliffe's bravado is based on
the expectation of the third Army.
2528
03:39:36,775 --> 03:39:39,141
General Patton's time table is
a critical factor.
2529
03:39:39,717 --> 03:39:43,636
If the German's move on Bastogne,
they could easily take it at this point.
2530
03:39:44,150 --> 03:39:46,564
The surrounded and
undermanned US Army watches
2531
03:39:46,906 --> 03:39:48,925
and waits anxiously
for reinforcements.
2532
03:39:49,355 --> 03:39:53,022
The freezing cold conditions
don't make it easier for either side.
2533
03:39:53,242 --> 03:39:57,691
The next day, December 23rd, dawns
bright and sunny; perfect flying weather.
2534
03:39:58,141 --> 03:39:59,801
American's in Bastogne cheer
2535
03:40:00,136 --> 03:40:03,061
as Allied planes fly overhead
to bomb and strafe the enemy.
2536
03:40:04,280 --> 03:40:06,643
To drop supplies,
not all that's needed,
2537
03:40:07,035 --> 03:40:09,410
but enough to enable
the American's to hang on.
2538
03:40:14,554 --> 03:40:18,161
On Christmas day, news reaches
Bastogne that the Western spearhead
2539
03:40:18,496 --> 03:40:22,761
of the German 2nd Panzer division has
been stopped, just short of the Meuse.
2540
03:40:23,433 --> 03:40:27,380
When Hitler is told by his Generals,
he orders the expected all out attack.
2541
03:40:36,624 --> 03:40:40,606
The Wehrmacht advances on Bastogne
with 9 divisions, 4 of them armored.
2542
03:40:41,126 --> 03:40:44,977
A great part of this effort is aimed at
closing the American corridor to the South.
2543
03:40:45,466 --> 03:40:49,392
On January 3rd, the Allies
launch a 3 pronged counter attack.
2544
03:40:49,793 --> 03:40:54,677
By January 16th, patrols from the 1st
and 3rd Armies meet North of Bastogne.
2545
03:40:55,372 --> 03:40:59,364
By early February, the German's have
been pushed back to where they started.
2546
03:41:00,531 --> 03:41:03,006
By the end of the Battle of the
Bulge, they knew they couldn't win.
2547
03:41:03,455 --> 03:41:04,524
And from that time on,
2548
03:41:05,029 --> 03:41:06,877
the remains of the Panzer
Wehr division,
2549
03:41:07,588 --> 03:41:10,301
are sent to the Eastern front,
where it was eventually destroyed.
2550
03:41:10,773 --> 03:41:14,285
It became clear the German Army no
longer could fight on the Western Front.
2551
03:41:17,283 --> 03:41:18,649
Due to the Soviet taking the
oilfields in the east,
2552
03:41:19,128 --> 03:41:20,978
lack of fuel prevented the new
German Tiger tanks
2553
03:41:21,419 --> 03:41:22,963
from reaching the Meuse river.
2554
03:41:23,459 --> 03:41:24,933
The Battle of the Bulge was the
bloodiest battle
2555
03:41:25,399 --> 03:41:26,781
US forces fought in World
WarTwo.
2556
03:41:27,249 --> 03:41:28,029
It resulted in:
2557
03:41:28,503 --> 03:41:29,745
19.000 dead
2558
03:41:30,210 --> 03:41:31,361
47.000 wounded
2559
03:41:31,930 --> 03:41:33,098
23.000 captured
2560
03:41:33,888 --> 03:41:35,400
These figures were not surpassed
those of any other battle.
2561
03:41:37,306 --> 03:41:38,335
With official German losses
at 84.834,
2562
03:41:38,767 --> 03:41:40,360
the last of the reserves were
now exhausted.
2563
03:41:40,784 --> 03:41:43,095
The lack of fuel would eventually leave
the Luftwaffe permanently grounded.
2564
03:41:45,273 --> 03:41:46,332
The remaining German forces
2565
03:41:46,820 --> 03:41:48,412
would be bombed incessantly
in their retreat to Berlin.
2566
03:42:01,422 --> 03:42:03,163
To be continued
2567
03:42:10,053 --> 03:42:12,657
Part 16
Adolf Hitler - The Gretest Story NEVER Told!
2568
03:42:18,572 --> 03:42:20,330
While the Western Allies were
held up in the Ardennes,
2569
03:42:20,674 --> 03:42:21,818
fighting the Battle of the Bulge,
2570
03:42:23,273 --> 03:42:26,679
on the Eastern Front, the Red
Army was making good progress.
2571
03:42:28,171 --> 03:42:31,363
They entered Warsaw on
the 17th of January, 1945.
2572
03:42:44,249 --> 03:42:47,337
The locals cheered as the Polish
units in the Red Army passed by.
2573
03:42:48,631 --> 03:42:50,780
They did not know that some of
the Officers they applauded
2574
03:42:51,098 --> 03:42:52,186
were from the Soviet Union,
2575
03:42:52,947 --> 03:42:54,812
and were only pretending
to be Poles.
2576
03:43:00,899 --> 03:43:03,241
Stalin hadn't just created
new Polish Officers,
2577
03:43:04,122 --> 03:43:06,410
he'd created an entire
new Polish government.
2578
03:43:07,777 --> 03:43:09,226
Unlike the Polish government in exile,
2579
03:43:09,794 --> 03:43:13,258
this group of tame Poles would
do just what Stalin told them to.
2580
03:43:18,970 --> 03:43:22,227
The Red Army continued to push
forward further into Eastern Europe.
2581
03:43:22,793 --> 03:43:26,588
Capturing Budapest, the Capital
of Hungary, in February, 1945.
2582
03:43:28,217 --> 03:43:29,279
Budapest
2583
03:43:29,616 --> 03:43:31,839
The Hungarians had been Allies
of the Nazi's.
2584
03:43:33,629 --> 03:43:36,566
Together with the German's they had
fought fiercely against the Red Army.
2585
03:43:39,254 --> 03:43:40,524
Now they would pay for it.
2586
03:43:47,885 --> 03:43:49,237
Report by the Direcors of the
Hungarien General Credit Bank
2587
03:43:49,525 --> 03:43:51,342
They opened every safe
and strong box.
2588
03:43:52,588 --> 03:43:55,938
They took away 113
Million Pengoe in cash.
2589
03:43:56,696 --> 03:44:00,863
As well as about 800 suitcases and
other containers deposited by clients.
2590
03:44:01,424 --> 03:44:04,184
And emptied 1.400 safety
deposit boxes.
2591
03:44:13,758 --> 03:44:18,164
Nearby, other Soviets took paintings and
other works of Art worth Millions of pounds.
2592
03:44:18,908 --> 03:44:21,870
Including works by Renoir,
El Greco, and Goya.
2593
03:44:32,814 --> 03:44:36,449
An estimated 99% of these
artworks have never been recovered.
2594
03:44:42,934 --> 03:44:44,062
As well as the wealth
of the city,
2595
03:44:45,028 --> 03:44:48,056
the population was also at the
mercy of the Soviet occupiers.
2596
03:44:50,877 --> 03:44:53,943
But what happened to them in the
aftermath of the Soviet victory in Budapest,
2597
03:44:54,303 --> 03:44:55,478
was to become infamous.
2598
03:44:59,355 --> 03:45:00,872
So bad was the situation
in Hungary,
2599
03:45:01,304 --> 03:45:03,737
that a group of Hungarian Communists
in Kobanya,
2600
03:45:03,984 --> 03:45:06,665
sent a letter of complaint
to the Soviet authorities.
2601
03:45:07,814 --> 03:45:10,373
In January, when the
Red Army arrived,
2602
03:45:10,666 --> 03:45:14,859
they committed a series of sexual
crimes in an outbreak of savage hatred.
2603
03:45:16,225 --> 03:45:19,941
Drunken soldiers raped mothers in
front of their children and husbands.
2604
03:45:21,186 --> 03:45:24,006
Girls as young as 12, were dragged
from their fathers and mothers
2605
03:45:24,765 --> 03:45:28,060
and raped in succession
by 10 to 15 soldiers.
2606
03:45:28,680 --> 03:45:31,204
From whom many of them caught
venereal diseases.
2607
03:45:35,197 --> 03:45:36,710
THE YALTA AGREEMENT
2608
03:45:37,734 --> 03:45:39,867
In February 1945,
Stalin traveled here
2609
03:45:40,659 --> 03:45:43,344
to Yalta, on the Black Sea, in
the South of the Soviet Union,
2610
03:45:44,583 --> 03:45:47,233
to attend what would become
the most famous meeting of the war.
2611
03:45:49,747 --> 03:45:51,947
But the pressures of the war
had clearly taken their toll
2612
03:45:52,305 --> 03:45:53,673
on one of the leaders
of the Alliance.
2613
03:45:54,771 --> 03:45:59,186
Churchill looked at Roosevelt
so very solicitously.
2614
03:45:59,914 --> 03:46:01,736
Churchill, I suppose,
had no surprise,
2615
03:46:02,559 --> 03:46:07,045
as I had, and anyone else who
had seen Roosevelt previously,
2616
03:46:08,034 --> 03:46:12,248
to see this corked very thin figure.
2617
03:46:12,651 --> 03:46:20,747
His face was waxened, to sort of yellow
and waxened, and very drawn, very thin.
2618
03:46:22,248 --> 03:46:25,002
And a lot of the time
he was sort of sitting
2619
03:46:25,664 --> 03:46:28,769
sitting there with his mouth
open, sort of staring ahead.
2620
03:46:29,808 --> 03:46:32,365
So that was quite a shock
to see him in that state.
2621
03:46:32,880 --> 03:46:36,531
The Allies also decided on the formation
of the United Nations after the war.
2622
03:46:37,604 --> 03:46:40,123
The news reel coverage
was decidedly optimistic.
2623
03:46:41,394 --> 03:46:43,167
This meeting crystallizes the
alive resolve
2624
03:46:43,774 --> 03:46:46,142
that Germany shall be beaten
unconditionally,
2625
03:46:46,693 --> 03:46:50,102
and that lasting peace shall
prevail throughout the world.
2626
03:46:52,466 --> 03:46:54,067
The optimism didn't last long.
2627
03:46:56,424 --> 03:46:58,967
Here in Poland, on
the 28th of March, 1945,
2628
03:46:59,519 --> 03:47:01,837
just a few weeks after signing
the Yalta Agreement,
2629
03:47:02,702 --> 03:47:05,093
the Soviets showed how sincere they
really were
2630
03:47:05,446 --> 03:47:07,662
about Polish political independence.
2631
03:47:13,979 --> 03:47:17,074
Sixteen leading independent political
and military figures in Poland,
2632
03:47:17,538 --> 03:47:21,618
arrived for what they had been told was
to be a lunch, with senior Soviet officials.
2633
03:47:23,533 --> 03:47:25,460
We will be meeting for lunch.
2634
03:47:26,032 --> 03:47:27,980
It's not far away, nine
kilometers from here.
2635
03:47:28,536 --> 03:47:31,869
It's more comfortable then these
primitive conditions.
2636
03:47:36,790 --> 03:47:40,861
They weren't just going on a short journey,
and they weren't just going for lunch.
2637
03:47:43,257 --> 03:47:46,469
In fact they were all transported
over 700 miles to here,
2638
03:47:47,740 --> 03:47:49,636
the Butyrka prison in Moscow.
2639
03:47:54,018 --> 03:47:55,724
The Polish leaders had made
a big mistake.
2640
03:47:56,748 --> 03:47:58,732
They'd trusted the
Soviet authorities.
2641
03:48:03,628 --> 03:48:05,560
Each of them was imprisoned
and interrogated.
2642
03:48:06,911 --> 03:48:10,640
And then they waited to see the
final fate Stalin had in store for them.
2643
03:48:17,629 --> 03:48:20,144
Roosevelt was more relaxed
about the whole dispute with Stalin.
2644
03:48:21,256 --> 03:48:24,512
Just before Yalta, he'd even remarked that
apart from matters concerning Germany,
2645
03:48:25,270 --> 03:48:28,086
he wanted to stay out disputes
in Europe, as far as possible.
2646
03:48:31,286 --> 03:48:33,045
He wrote to Churchill
in early April, that...
2647
03:48:34,105 --> 03:48:38,062
"I would minimize the general Soviet problem
as much as possible, because these problems,
2648
03:48:38,470 --> 03:48:39,453
in one form or another,
2649
03:48:39,861 --> 03:48:43,252
seem to arise every day,
and most of them straighten out."
2650
03:48:45,516 --> 03:48:47,444
Roosevelt was still keen
to get on with Stalin.
2651
03:48:49,124 --> 03:48:50,233
Partly because the Soviet leader
2652
03:48:50,560 --> 03:48:52,496
had offered to help with what
was happening here,
2653
03:48:53,565 --> 03:48:56,244
in the far East, in the
war against Japan.
2654
03:49:01,957 --> 03:49:04,085
American's made up the
bulk of the Allied forces
2655
03:49:04,477 --> 03:49:07,493
who were engaged in the Pacific in
what was known as "Island Hopping",
2656
03:49:08,308 --> 03:49:10,916
the struggle to wrest each
island from the Japanese.
2657
03:49:12,479 --> 03:49:13,916
It was a brutal and bloody war.
2658
03:49:15,035 --> 03:49:16,861
Just 8 days after
the Yalta Agreement,
2659
03:49:17,834 --> 03:49:20,554
the Americans had launched
one of their fiercest assaults here,
2660
03:49:21,413 --> 03:49:25,085
on the Island of Iwo Jima,
750 miles South of Tokyo.
2661
03:49:32,581 --> 03:49:35,827
Just after 9 o'clock in the morning,
on the 19th of February, 1945,
2662
03:49:36,778 --> 03:49:39,351
the first wave of US
Marines landed on the island.
2663
03:49:52,366 --> 03:49:56,452
But the battle for this piece of volcanic rock,
less than 8 miles square, would be horrific
2664
03:49:57,332 --> 03:49:58,354
for both sides.
2665
03:50:05,622 --> 03:50:10,633
Of the 21.000 Japanese defenders,
20.000 would die in the struggle.
2666
03:50:18,413 --> 03:50:23,164
The total American causalities on Iwo Jima,
including wounded, were over 25.000,
2667
03:50:24,314 --> 03:50:25,963
more than the Allies suffered
on D-day.
2668
03:50:26,810 --> 03:50:27,797
"The injured are
carried to the rear."
2669
03:50:28,411 --> 03:50:29,859
So Roosevelt was intensely grateful
2670
03:50:30,259 --> 03:50:33,353
that Stalin had promised the Soviet
Union would help the Western Allies,
2671
03:50:34,254 --> 03:50:37,234
and lend to the war against
Japan, once Germany was defeated.
2672
03:50:37,793 --> 03:50:42,605
"The wreckage along the beach was only a
small part of the cost of 26 days of fighting."
2673
03:50:57,456 --> 03:51:01,009
As for the 16 independent Poles tricked
into meeting the Soviet authorities
2674
03:51:01,383 --> 03:51:02,915
by an offer of lunch,
2675
03:51:03,505 --> 03:51:04,587
they were all put on trial.
2676
03:51:09,586 --> 03:51:12,722
The court investigation exposed
2677
03:51:13,027 --> 03:51:16,019
the full extent of the criminal
activities of the Polish separatist.
2678
03:51:16,908 --> 03:51:18,317
They were acting on the orders
2679
03:51:18,939 --> 03:51:20,248
of the Polish government-in-exile
in London.
2680
03:51:24,511 --> 03:51:29,279
as enemies of democracy, of peace
and of the Polish nation.
2681
03:51:30,781 --> 03:51:35,076
Of the 16, 13 were sentenced
to various terms in Soviet prisons.
2682
03:51:42,875 --> 03:51:44,291
The US will now change their
strategy
2683
03:51:44,669 --> 03:51:46,173
of bombing German industrial
and military targets.
2684
03:51:46,637 --> 03:51:48,597
Insteed, the Americans will join
the British in the bombing of civilians.
2685
03:51:52,184 --> 03:51:54,137
THE DESTRUCTION OF BERLIN
2686
03:51:55,767 --> 03:51:58,018
Reversing years of
American strategic policy,
2687
03:51:58,679 --> 03:52:01,522
would be a massive
air assault on Berlin.
2688
03:52:02,376 --> 03:52:03,183
Over 6 months,
2689
03:52:03,590 --> 03:52:08,386
the head of Bomber Command, sent his
planes on 19 mass attacks on the Nazi capital.
2690
03:52:10,548 --> 03:52:13,250
As many as 800 bombers
on a single mission.
2691
03:52:14,138 --> 03:52:16,664
Nearly 11.000 bombing sorties.
2692
03:52:17,869 --> 03:52:22,360
This attack on Berlin would have
significance far beyond causality numbers.
2693
03:52:25,895 --> 03:52:29,805
With this raid, the 8th Air
Force crosses a moral threshold.
2694
03:52:30,235 --> 03:52:33,702
And that moral threshold is, we
will not deliberately bomb civilians.
2695
03:52:35,863 --> 03:52:39,173
Usually the moral divide
for historians
2696
03:52:40,236 --> 03:52:44,644
is the Tokyo raid, which took place
the next month,
2697
03:52:45,169 --> 03:52:48,441
where we incinerate the city
and kill almost 100.000 people.
2698
03:52:49,169 --> 03:52:50,197
And, but I think,
2699
03:52:52,037 --> 03:52:55,726
once we crossed the moral
divide in Berlin, it made everything else,
2700
03:52:56,054 --> 03:52:57,325
including the Atomic Bomb,
a little bit easier.
2701
03:53:05,390 --> 03:53:08,462
The world must understand that
this state will never surrender
2702
03:53:08,964 --> 03:53:13,404
... the German Reich may
encounter setbacks...
2703
03:53:14,157 --> 03:53:19,008
... but never will it stray
from its chosen path
2704
03:53:20,720 --> 03:53:24,526
The German leadership shares
the hardship endured by its people...
2705
03:53:25,029 --> 03:53:27,723
... but never will it surrender
in the face of hardship
2706
03:53:29,818 --> 03:53:34,211
By spring 1945, the situation had
become all but hopeless for the Germans.
2707
03:53:35,383 --> 03:53:36,992
The Red Army had reached
the river Oder,
2708
03:53:38,290 --> 03:53:40,976
the last great natural obstacle
before Berlin.
2709
03:53:55,606 --> 03:53:58,053
12 April 1945, US President Franklin
D. Roosevelt dies from a brain hemorrhage.
2710
03:54:01,292 --> 03:54:02,333
ROOSEVELT IS DEAD!
2711
03:54:02,656 --> 03:54:05,816
Crowds are lining Constitution
Avenue, from here to the White House.
2712
03:54:07,287 --> 03:54:11,205
All the soldiers and service men in
the crowd, stand firmly at attention.
2713
03:54:13,135 --> 03:54:19,460
And now the caisson will start its solemn
sorrowful procession through Washington.
2714
03:54:24,637 --> 03:54:26,234
His Vice-President Henry A. Wallace,
a known Communist,
2715
03:54:26,666 --> 03:54:28,250
had been quickly and quietly
removed from office
2716
03:54:28,683 --> 03:54:30,262
once it was known Roosevelt's
condition was terminal.
2717
03:54:32,199 --> 03:54:33,470
He is replaced by Harry S. Truman.
2718
03:55:03,051 --> 03:55:04,818
28 April 1945, Guilino di Mezzegra,
Italy
2719
03:55:10,936 --> 03:55:12,926
Italian Communist partisans, capure
Mussolini and his lover Clara Pettacci
2720
03:55:13,359 --> 03:55:15,257
along with several of their
comrades in Northern Italy.
2721
03:55:15,931 --> 03:55:17,704
After a sweeping trial
they were quickly executed.
2722
03:55:19,218 --> 03:55:20,617
However, recent forensic medicine
findings,
2723
03:55:21,103 --> 03:55:22,695
supported by modern digital tehology,
2724
03:55:23,183 --> 03:55:25,210
contradict the official version
of Mussolini's death.
2725
03:55:28,073 --> 03:55:29,751
Photographs and films shot in
April 1945 in Piazzale Loreto
2726
03:55:30,295 --> 03:55:32,117
and examinated at the Institut of
Forensic Medicine, Milan
2727
03:55:32,603 --> 03:55:34,739
conducted that the dictator was
undressed prior to being killed.
2728
03:55:38,617 --> 03:55:40,277
It has long been suspected that
during their 24 hours of captivity
2729
03:55:40,702 --> 03:55:41,615
Mussolini was tortured
2730
03:55:42,070 --> 03:55:44,373
and that Clara Pettacci was raped
several times.
2731
03:56:08,039 --> 03:56:09,614
Their bodies will be brought
to Milan the next day
2732
03:56:10,025 --> 03:56:11,687
where before being hanged
upside down
2733
03:56:12,054 --> 03:56:13,620
in a heinous public display,
2734
03:56:14,048 --> 03:56:16,231
a baying crowd will stamp,
spit and urinate on them.
2735
03:56:48,244 --> 03:56:50,200
Adolf Hitler will hear of Musolini's death
whilst in his Berlin bunker.
2736
03:56:50,644 --> 03:56:52,771
By his side is the ever faitful
Eva Braun.
2737
03:56:53,339 --> 03:56:54,915
He has been there since
16 January 1945,
2738
03:56:55,380 --> 03:56:57,236
surronded by his High Command.
2739
03:57:14,281 --> 03:57:15,753
To be contiued
2740
03:57:22,786 --> 03:57:25,209
Part 17
Adolf Hitler - The Gretest Story NEVER Told!
2741
03:57:28,661 --> 03:57:31,494
The sky is literally falling in
on the people of Germany.
2742
03:57:32,114 --> 03:57:35,074
Massive fleets of British and
American heavy bombers,
2743
03:57:35,596 --> 03:57:38,307
pound cities to rubble;
Germany is surrounded.
2744
03:57:39,372 --> 03:57:43,321
From every frontier enemies are
marching on the heart of the Fatherland.
2745
03:57:47,518 --> 03:57:49,211
They are twice as many men
as the Wehrmacht,
2746
03:57:49,770 --> 03:57:51,266
four times as many tanks.
2747
03:57:53,305 --> 03:57:54,655
Hitler knows he is surrounded.
2748
03:57:55,329 --> 03:57:57,257
Old men, women and children
2749
03:57:57,603 --> 03:58:00,314
prepare for a desperate fight
against hopeless odds.
2750
03:58:01,282 --> 03:58:02,421
Yet, at the same time,
2751
03:58:02,925 --> 03:58:07,121
a people who remain astonishingly
loyal in the face of certain defeat.
2752
03:58:08,768 --> 03:58:11,745
Boys of the Hitler youth
ready themselves for battle.
2753
03:58:15,818 --> 03:58:18,305
Ordinary people still
cheer Hitler's armies.
2754
03:58:21,644 --> 03:58:25,035
These troops are all that stand
between Germany and Armageddon.
2755
03:58:31,207 --> 03:58:33,434
Stalin claims he has 6 Million men,
2756
03:58:33,902 --> 03:58:35,379
against less than a million
2757
03:58:35,713 --> 03:58:38,394
armed remnants of every unit
the Reich can muster.
2758
03:58:39,226 --> 03:58:43,327
On the 19th of April, Soviet
troops reach the Berlin suburbs.
2759
03:58:44,091 --> 03:58:46,481
Now it is street fighting,
house by house.
2760
03:58:46,964 --> 03:58:50,217
Everyone a natural redoubt
for desperate defenders.
2761
03:58:56,664 --> 03:58:57,700
Casualties mount.
2762
03:58:58,609 --> 03:59:02,466
Resistance stiffens, but the Soviet
Armies cannot be halted now.
2763
03:59:14,259 --> 03:59:16,980
Hitler's Reich has been pierced
to the heart.
2764
03:59:25,488 --> 03:59:29,089
On the 25th of April,
southern units of Konev's front
2765
03:59:29,597 --> 03:59:32,321
make contact with the United
States forces at the Elbe.
2766
03:59:33,504 --> 03:59:34,980
No hint of future
tensions here.
2767
03:59:38,667 --> 03:59:41,192
Now as Soviet forces converge
on the center of Berlin,
2768
03:59:42,053 --> 03:59:45,277
the fighting embraces everything
and everyone in the battle field.
2769
03:59:52,410 --> 03:59:53,442
Adolf Hitler Square
2770
04:01:04,800 --> 04:01:07,433
But even now, Hitler
has one guardian angel.
2771
04:01:07,533 --> 04:01:08,085
HANNA REITSCH
2772
04:01:08,618 --> 04:01:09,962
Fighter Pilot Hanna Reitsch.
2773
04:01:17,824 --> 04:01:20,588
The only woman to receive an Iron
Cross in the Second World War,
2774
04:01:21,250 --> 04:01:22,984
she is utterly devoted to the Führer.
2775
04:01:26,295 --> 04:01:30,734
On the 29th of April, she pilots her
light aircraft into the heart of Berlin.
2776
04:01:49,013 --> 04:01:50,609
Touching down on the
Unter den Linden,
2777
04:01:51,303 --> 04:01:55,250
she makes the perilous journey through
the mayhem of battle, to Hitler's bunker,
2778
04:01:57,121 --> 04:01:58,302
where he waits the end;
2779
04:01:59,260 --> 04:02:01,453
accompanied by a few
treasured possessions.
2780
04:02:04,211 --> 04:02:09,033
Hanna Reitsch is Hitler's last chance
to escape, but he will not leave.
2781
04:02:09,567 --> 04:02:11,605
He chooses to meet
his destiny in Berlin.
2782
04:02:18,651 --> 04:02:20,170
REICHSKANZLEIBUNKER, BERLIN
2783
04:02:23,566 --> 04:02:25,584
His grand chancellery
now severely damaged,
2784
04:02:26,197 --> 04:02:28,346
he admitted for the
first time that all was lost.
2785
04:02:29,758 --> 04:02:32,914
He then stepped into the passage where
Eva and the secretaries were waiting.
2786
04:02:34,678 --> 04:02:37,227
"All of a sudden the door
was opened, Hitler came out.
2787
04:02:38,174 --> 04:02:39,577
He said everything is lost.
2788
04:02:40,312 --> 04:02:41,518
Pack your things and go,
2789
04:02:42,228 --> 04:02:45,927
you have to leave, and within an hour
the last plane will bring you out.
2790
04:02:50,372 --> 04:02:55,146
After a moment of silence, Eva
Braun stepped forward, went to him,
2791
04:02:55,665 --> 04:02:58,492
took his hand and said,
"but you know I stay with you".
2792
04:03:02,923 --> 04:03:07,016
He smiled, I mean he tried to
smile, and he kissed her on the lips.
2793
04:03:07,542 --> 04:03:10,580
At this moment we all said,
"we're staying too".
2794
04:03:11,563 --> 04:03:13,981
She came towards me, embraced me,
and said,
2795
04:03:14,315 --> 04:03:16,810
"try to go home, try to get out
of here.
2796
04:03:17,571 --> 04:03:20,234
And if you are successful, if
you come to Bavaria back
2797
04:03:20,817 --> 04:03:22,425
give my regards to everybody."
2798
04:03:24,197 --> 04:03:29,930
And she was very sad and I think she
tried to be very brave in this moment.
2799
04:03:34,833 --> 04:03:38,368
He knew what happened to
Mussolini, he saw the pictures.
2800
04:03:39,058 --> 04:03:41,357
And he was very very frightened
2801
04:03:42,117 --> 04:03:45,935
to have the same fate,
if he would be captured."
2802
04:04:43,638 --> 04:04:45,528
The last known phoograph of
Adolf Hitler
2803
04:04:58,280 --> 04:05:00,514
Excerpt from Adolf Hitler's
LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT
2804
04:05:06,657 --> 04:05:12,210
After 6 years of struggle, which in spite
of all reversals will go down in history
2805
04:05:12,697 --> 04:05:17,065
as the most glorious and most courageous
manifestation of a people's will to live.
2806
04:05:18,176 --> 04:05:20,740
I cannot separate myself from
the city,
2807
04:05:21,450 --> 04:05:23,072
which is the capital of this Reich.
2808
04:05:24,264 --> 04:05:27,871
Because our forces are too few
to permit any further resistance
2809
04:05:28,461 --> 04:05:29,634
against the enemies assaults,
2810
04:05:30,263 --> 04:05:32,182
I desire to share the fate
2811
04:05:32,797 --> 04:05:35,789
that millions of others have taken
upon themselves.
2812
04:05:36,476 --> 04:05:38,636
Except I shall remain in this city.
2813
04:05:39,791 --> 04:05:43,957
Furthermore, I do not want to fall
into the hands of enemies
2814
04:05:44,477 --> 04:05:47,601
who for the delectation of
the hate-riddled masses
2815
04:05:48,010 --> 04:05:51,363
require a new spectacle promoted
by the Jews.
2816
04:05:52,430 --> 04:05:54,941
I have therefore resolved
to remain in Berlin
2817
04:05:55,878 --> 04:05:58,593
and there to choose death
of my own will
2818
04:05:59,237 --> 04:06:01,361
at the very moment when,
as I believe,
2819
04:06:02,113 --> 04:06:06,121
the seat of the Führer / Chancellor
can no longer be defended.
2820
04:06:08,023 --> 04:06:10,169
I die with a joyful heart
2821
04:06:10,652 --> 04:06:14,096
in the awareness the immeasurable
deeds and achievements
2822
04:06:14,424 --> 04:06:15,511
of our soldiers at the front,
2823
04:06:16,124 --> 04:06:19,428
of our women at home, the
achievements of our workers,
2824
04:06:20,221 --> 04:06:25,581
of the contribution, unique in history,
of our youth, which bears my name.
2825
04:06:27,595 --> 04:06:28,702
It goes without saying,
2826
04:06:29,277 --> 04:06:32,589
that I thank them all from
the bottom of my heart.
2827
04:07:04,711 --> 04:07:07,204
Defiant to the end, Hitler denounced
Field Marshal Hermann Göring
2828
04:07:07,663 --> 04:07:10,096
and SS chief Heinrich Himmler
as traitors for attempting to negotiate
2829
04:07:10,544 --> 04:07:12,208
with the Allies without his
knowledge.
2830
04:07:13,324 --> 04:07:15,047
Stripping them of their positions,
he hands over
2831
04:07:15,567 --> 04:07:17,167
the leadership of the Third Reich
to navy commander Karl Dönitz.
2832
04:07:33,245 --> 04:07:34,697
The Final Days
2833
04:07:40,111 --> 04:07:45,008
On April the 29th, Hitler decided
to marry his mistress Eva Braun.
2834
04:07:45,871 --> 04:07:49,381
After the bridal couple had confirmed
they were of true Aryan decent,
2835
04:07:50,020 --> 04:07:53,265
the ceremony was concluded with
Goebbels and Bormann as the witnesses.
2836
04:07:54,421 --> 04:07:58,010
Hitler signed the wedding certificate,
but when it came to Eva's turn,
2837
04:07:58,501 --> 04:08:00,597
she began to write her
surname as "Braun"
2838
04:08:01,329 --> 04:08:05,304
before crossing out the letter
"B", and writing Eva Hitler.
2839
04:08:09,551 --> 04:08:13,128
Arm in arm, Adolf Hitler led his bride
to the study for the wedding reception.
2840
04:08:14,282 --> 04:08:14,824
Traudl Junge:
2841
04:08:15,135 --> 04:08:20,543
"As a gesture of gratitude for her
love, for her royalty, for her fidelity,
2842
04:08:22,139 --> 04:08:25,992
and I think he wanted to
compensate her for
2843
04:08:27,632 --> 04:08:30,768
to get the figure of history
as his wife."
2844
04:08:32,832 --> 04:08:33,412
30 APRIL 1945, BERLIN
2845
04:08:33,690 --> 04:08:36,108
Less than 2 days after the
wedding on April the 30th,
2846
04:08:36,722 --> 04:08:39,908
Hitler and his bride
retired to his study. Traudl Junge:
2847
04:08:40,252 --> 04:08:46,905
"And there he stood, very quite,
very tired, and then he turned and I,
2848
04:08:47,801 --> 04:08:53,315
I felt somehow's like
frozen, because I knew now
2849
04:08:54,008 --> 04:08:58,679
that this decisive moment where we
were going to see soon he'd end his life."
2850
04:09:00,135 --> 04:09:01,063
They sat on the couch.
2851
04:09:01,726 --> 04:09:03,761
Opposite them was a portrait
of Hitler's mother.
2852
04:09:04,960 --> 04:09:06,549
Eva now took a cyanide capsule
2853
04:09:07,163 --> 04:09:10,291
and popped it into her mouth.
She died instantly.
2854
04:09:13,401 --> 04:09:14,469
Then Hitler picked up his gun,
2855
04:09:15,180 --> 04:09:17,332
put it to his right temple,
and fired.
2856
04:09:19,878 --> 04:09:21,732
Acting in accordance with Hitler's
instructions,
2857
04:09:22,312 --> 04:09:24,749
members of his staff wrapped both
the bodies in blankets,
2858
04:09:25,165 --> 04:09:26,518
and carried them up to
the surface.
2859
04:09:29,505 --> 04:09:31,052
During a pause in
the Russian shelling,
2860
04:09:31,354 --> 04:09:33,893
they doused the bodies with what
petrol they had managed to collect,
2861
04:09:34,476 --> 04:09:35,523
and set them alight.
2862
04:10:34,362 --> 04:10:38,075
The strugle between the people
and hatred between them...
2863
04:10:38,867 --> 04:10:42,395
... is being nurtured by very
specific interested parties.
2864
04:10:43,171 --> 04:10:47,135
It is a small rootless international
clique
2865
04:10:47,927 --> 04:10:49,561
that is turning people against
each other...
2866
04:10:50,509 --> 04:10:52,663
... that does not want them
to have peace!
2867
04:10:54,941 --> 04:10:57,595
It is a people who are at home
nowhere and everywhere!
2868
04:10:58,134 --> 04:11:02,027
Who do not have anywhere a soil
on which they have grown up...
2869
04:11:02,524 --> 04:11:04,532
... but who live in Berlin today...
2870
04:11:05,344 --> 04:11:12,092
... Brussels tomorrow, Paris the day after,
then Prag, Viena or London...
2871
04:11:12,506 --> 04:11:15,123
... and who feel at home everywhere!
2872
04:11:17,707 --> 04:11:22,205
They are the ones who can really
be regarded as international elements...
2873
04:11:22,550 --> 04:11:25,845
... because they conduct their
business everywhere!
2874
04:11:35,441 --> 04:11:37,398
"At the very end of his life,
to be sure, his back had become bent,
2875
04:11:37,855 --> 04:11:39,807
but his mind remained as clear
as a flash of lightning.
2876
04:11:40,282 --> 04:11:41,804
When has history ever vitnessed
so enormous
2877
04:11:42,212 --> 04:11:44,116
a tragedy brought to its end
with such iron self-control?
2878
04:11:44,829 --> 04:11:46,710
General Léon Degrelle
2879
04:12:27,724 --> 04:12:29,779
To be continued
2880
04:12:35,724 --> 04:12:38,732
Part 18
Adolf Hitler - The Gretest Story NEVER Told!
2881
04:12:43,123 --> 04:12:45,207
In 73 A.D. a huge Roman army lay
siege to 1000 rebel Jews
2882
04:12:45,621 --> 04:12:46,580
and their families,
2883
04:12:47,075 --> 04:12:48,508
in the mountain hideaway
of Masada.
2884
04:12:50,983 --> 04:12:53,143
On the eve of the batlle, and fearing
the rape of their women
2885
04:12:53,600 --> 04:12:55,464
an enslavement of their children,
the men to avoid surrender
2886
04:12:55,951 --> 04:12:57,374
drew straws to decide
2887
04:12:57,830 --> 04:12:59,574
which of them would kill
their loves ones.
2888
04:13:01,791 --> 04:13:03,670
Once the killigs were completed
the men commited suicide,
2889
04:13:04,325 --> 04:13:06,998
leaving the Romans to find not
a single survivor the following day.
2890
04:13:11,434 --> 04:13:13,978
Today in Israel, they are remembered
as heroic martyrs.
2891
04:13:37,060 --> 04:13:38,459
CENTRAL BERLIN 1945
2892
04:15:01,113 --> 04:15:03,305
April 1945 inside the Reichskanzleibunker,
Joseph Goebbels loyal to the end,
2893
04:15:03,765 --> 04:15:05,246
is fully aware that the Bolsheviks
are raining death
2894
04:15:05,821 --> 04:15:07,362
and destruction on the
population outside.
2895
04:15:08,350 --> 04:15:09,744
With him is his wife Magda
and their six children.
2896
04:15:10,145 --> 04:15:11,313
And although they are safe
for now,
2897
04:15:11,753 --> 04:15:13,076
with the Soviets just hundreds
of yards away,
2898
04:15:13,502 --> 04:15:15,029
he knows that time is
running out.
2899
04:15:15,844 --> 04:15:17,676
They too, will choose death for
themselves and their six children
2900
04:15:18,138 --> 04:15:19,772
rather than risk escaping
brutality of the Commuists.
2901
04:15:21,380 --> 04:15:23,206
Under such circumstances, Magda
cannot trust anyone else
2902
04:15:23,653 --> 04:15:25,252
with the responsibility of
her children's lives.
2903
04:15:25,763 --> 04:15:26,892
Now she must steel herself
2904
04:15:27,387 --> 04:15:29,091
for what must be every mother's
worst nightmare.
2905
04:15:29,792 --> 04:15:31,376
Not once but six times over.
2906
04:16:28,845 --> 04:16:30,785
On 1 May 1945, Joseph and Magda
Goebbels will commit suicide.
2907
04:16:31,193 --> 04:16:32,778
The history books will not
treat them as kindly,
2908
04:16:33,281 --> 04:16:35,185
nor view them as herically,
as the Masada martyrs.
2909
04:16:35,720 --> 04:16:37,355
Magda especially, will be portrayed
by the media
2910
04:16:37,755 --> 04:16:38,858
and in future Hollywood movies
2911
04:16:39,388 --> 04:16:41,001
as a sinister perpetrator
of evil.
2912
04:17:03,121 --> 04:17:05,210
"A mothers love for her child
is like nothing else in the world.
2913
04:17:05,721 --> 04:17:07,137
It knows no law, it knows no pity.
It dares all things
2914
04:17:07,694 --> 04:17:09,645
and crushes down remorselessly
all that stands in its path."
2915
04:17:23,550 --> 04:17:25,058
GERMANY IS DEFEATED
2916
04:19:23,100 --> 04:19:24,548
On 7 May 1945, Germany officially
surrenders.
2917
04:19:25,492 --> 04:19:27,574
Fighting continues in the Balkans
where German soldiers and Croat fighers,
2918
04:19:28,038 --> 04:19:29,846
many with their families, continue
their battle
2919
04:19:30,287 --> 04:19:32,470
against pursuing Communist partisans
in a strugge to reach the Austrian border
2920
04:19:32,938 --> 04:19:34,675
and surrender to the Western
Allies.
2921
04:20:04,679 --> 04:20:05,734
Berlin has Fallen.
2922
04:20:07,363 --> 04:20:10,399
Marshall Stalin has just announced
the complete capture of
2923
04:20:11,029 --> 04:20:12,215
the capital of Germany.
2924
04:20:12,894 --> 04:20:14,690
There are some reports that
Hitler died;
2925
04:20:15,170 --> 04:20:17,210
result of a stroke suffered
several days ago.
2926
04:20:17,857 --> 04:20:20,198
There are other reports that
Hitler was not in Berlin at all.
2927
04:20:20,943 --> 04:20:23,166
That he's been hiding out,
and that he may still be alive.
2928
04:20:23,828 --> 04:20:27,910
That the German story of his death is
only a rouse to permit him to escape.
2929
04:20:29,235 --> 04:20:30,971
Many today believe that Hitler
escaped
2930
04:20:36,113 --> 04:20:37,277
THE AUSTRIAN BORDER 1945
2931
04:20:42,157 --> 04:20:43,500
THE BLEIBURG MASSACRE
2932
04:20:47,396 --> 04:20:51,143
If people are told the truth,
about where they're going,
2933
04:20:51,711 --> 04:20:52,379
Capt. Nigel Nicolson - British 8th Army
2934
04:20:52,663 --> 04:20:56,631
and they refuse to go,
because they will be killed,
2935
04:20:57,608 --> 04:20:59,708
the only way to get them
onto the trains,
2936
04:21:00,629 --> 04:21:02,995
is to lie to them about their
destination.
2937
04:21:18,945 --> 04:21:20,612
And of course if they'd learned
the truth,
2938
04:21:21,043 --> 04:21:24,785
that they were going back to Yugoslavia
where they didn't expect to survive,
2939
04:21:26,035 --> 04:21:28,966
none of them would have
consented to mount the railway tracks.
2940
04:21:32,678 --> 04:21:39,213
Now, I remember asking for...
advice from the division.
2941
04:21:40,606 --> 04:21:43,797
Are we to send the civilians
as well?
2942
04:21:45,084 --> 04:21:46,161
And the answer came back...
2943
04:21:47,167 --> 04:21:47,944
Yes.
2944
04:21:49,322 --> 04:21:50,818
WAR CRIME
2945
04:21:52,949 --> 04:21:57,214
There were women and children,
and old men, and sometimes babies,
2946
04:21:57,721 --> 04:22:01,504
who were in these convoys,
which we organized.
2947
04:22:03,827 --> 04:22:05,136
But did you hear the machine guns?
- Yes.
2948
04:22:06,978 --> 04:22:07,826
Capt. Colin Gunner - British 8th Army
2949
04:22:09,718 --> 04:22:11,176
On the Yugoslav side of the border?
2950
04:22:11,508 --> 04:22:13,144
Oh for Christ sake!
2951
04:22:15,460 --> 04:22:20,697
Do you think I like to talk about
fucking kids being shot down?!
2952
04:22:27,307 --> 04:22:28,633
At Yalta, Churchill, Roosevelt
and Stalin had agreed
2953
04:22:29,033 --> 04:22:30,439
to forced repatriation of
enemy POWs and refugees.
2954
04:22:30,466 --> 04:22:31,914
Although the US signed international
agreemets opposing forced repatriation,
2955
04:22:32,361 --> 04:22:34,051
they inserted fine print
expecting from the ban
2956
04:22:34,463 --> 04:22:35,907
all those who originated from nations
2957
04:22:36,353 --> 04:22:38,049
given over to the Soviets
at the end of the war.
2958
04:22:38,631 --> 04:22:40,496
While claiming to "make the world safe
for Democracy", Roosevelt and Churchill
2959
04:22:40,951 --> 04:22:42,791
condemned millions to slave
labour camps and certain death.
2960
04:22:43,731 --> 04:22:45,289
The Allies even kept secret from
the world fact
2961
04:22:45,735 --> 04:22:47,421
that Stalin was holding over
5.000 Allied soldiers as hostages
2962
04:22:47,853 --> 04:22:49,661
to ensure that the West complied
with his demands for repatriation.
2963
04:23:15,750 --> 04:23:18,587
"And then for the next 5 days,
2964
04:23:19,641 --> 04:23:25,084
we organized trainloads of Croats
to go to Yugoslavia.
2965
04:23:31,513 --> 04:23:38,816
But ah, as they trusted us, when
we were telling them the truth,
2966
04:23:40,368 --> 04:23:43,165
there wasn't much trouble
about loading them on."
2967
04:23:45,011 --> 04:23:45,952
OPERATION KEELHAUL
2968
04:23:47,110 --> 04:23:48,418
Whilst searching through US
military archives
2969
04:23:48,912 --> 04:23:50,688
for the Cogressional investigation of
the State Department cover-up
2970
04:23:51,146 --> 04:23:52,473
of Soviet involvement in the
Katyn Forest massacre,
2971
04:23:52,860 --> 04:23:54,469
researcher Julius Epstein discovered
evidence
2972
04:23:54,925 --> 04:23:56,589
of a top secret program of forced
repatriation known as
2973
04:23:57,037 --> 04:23:58,163
Operation Keelhaul.
2974
04:23:59,989 --> 04:24:01,830
US and British troops had to beat,
drug and drive at gunpoint
2975
04:24:02,246 --> 04:24:03,890
millions of civilians back
to the Communists.
2976
04:24:06,171 --> 04:24:08,094
In spite of this, Stalin never did
release the American and British POWs.
2977
04:24:08,634 --> 04:24:10,475
It is suspected they perished
in the Gulags, as the US still
2978
04:24:11,800 --> 04:24:13,439
refuses to open the archives
revealing their fate.
2979
04:24:27,004 --> 04:24:28,617
THE ALLIES MISTREATMENT OF
GERMAN PRISONERS
2980
04:24:36,960 --> 04:24:38,864
Unlike the Soviets, the Allies
had signed on
2981
04:24:39,368 --> 04:24:40,526
to the Geneva Convention of 1929.
2982
04:24:40,984 --> 04:24:42,680
But by reclassifaing the German
POWs as "disarmed enemy forces",
2983
04:24:43,127 --> 04:24:44,960
they had now found a way
of cicumventing the rules.
2984
04:24:45,764 --> 04:24:47,348
The British, French and Americans
will now block any attempt
2985
04:24:47,802 --> 04:24:49,630
by the International Red Cross
from checking that the prisoners
2986
04:24:50,066 --> 04:24:51,694
are treated according to
international law
2987
04:24:52,206 --> 04:24:53,462
in Allied camps across Germany.
2988
04:24:56,555 --> 04:24:58,673
Eisenhower's mistreatment of prisoners
in the Rhine Meadow concentration camps,
2989
04:24:59,138 --> 04:25:00,717
where they held under appalling
conditions,
2990
04:25:01,205 --> 04:25:03,157
have only recently come to
light.
2991
04:25:04,828 --> 04:25:06,431
It is now estimated that at
least 1.5 million soldiers
2992
04:25:06,942 --> 04:25:09,021
and civilian POWs died whilst
in Allied captivity.
2993
04:25:19,883 --> 04:25:21,316
"This is Deanna Spingola.
2994
04:25:22,170 --> 04:25:25,433
Today I'm going to share some
details about World War 2,
2995
04:25:26,213 --> 04:25:28,918
that many of you might
not have heard before.
2996
04:25:29,522 --> 04:25:33,624
I base this information on the hundreds
of hours of research that I have done.
2997
04:25:34,678 --> 04:25:36,638
Eisenhower's Death Camps.
2998
04:25:37,227 --> 04:25:40,003
In a letter to his wife Eisenhower
said,
2999
04:25:40,413 --> 04:25:42,945
and this is the quote,
"God I hate the Germans!
3000
04:25:43,341 --> 04:25:46,072
Why? Because the
German is a beast", unquote.
3001
04:25:46,993 --> 04:25:51,756
He suggested a new class of
prisoner, Disarmed Enemy Forces,
3002
04:25:52,352 --> 04:25:54,478
prisoners the army would not feed.
3003
04:25:55,640 --> 04:25:59,431
Get that? They would not feed!
after Germany's surrender.
3004
04:26:00,169 --> 04:26:01,428
Food, water and shelter,
3005
04:26:01,975 --> 04:26:05,449
basic human necessities,
were unavailable in the camps;
3006
04:26:06,141 --> 04:26:08,041
per Eisenhower's orders!
3007
04:26:09,258 --> 04:26:09,990
Excuse me.
3008
04:26:11,126 --> 04:26:16,554
On April 22nd, 1945,
the US had in Europe,
3009
04:26:17,119 --> 04:26:23,543
50 days worth of 4.000 calorie
rations to feed 5 million people
3010
04:26:24,419 --> 04:26:26,645
for an additional 50 days!
3011
04:26:27,177 --> 04:26:28,276
They had the food,
3012
04:26:28,673 --> 04:26:31,555
they just chose not to give it!
3013
04:26:32,655 --> 04:26:37,328
On April 26th, 1945, the combined
Chiefs Of Staff in Washington,
3014
04:26:37,977 --> 04:26:42,870
cabled Eisenhower their approval of
the Disarmed Enemy Forces status,
3015
04:26:43,517 --> 04:26:46,165
for ALL German citizens!
3016
04:26:47,041 --> 04:26:49,102
Everybody was considered an enemy!
3017
04:26:50,690 --> 04:26:57,183
By April 30th 1945, there was
an additional 2.062,865
3018
04:26:57,808 --> 04:27:00,103
of these CIVILIAN prisoners.
3019
04:27:00,674 --> 04:27:06,234
Author Giles Macdonogh wrote,
that at least 1.5 million Germans
3020
04:27:06,662 --> 04:27:10,549
died in those camps due to
their ill-treatment and starvation.
3021
04:27:11,268 --> 04:27:19,514
In contrast in 1945 the American Red
Cross said that "99% of the US POWs
3022
04:27:20,154 --> 04:27:25,026
held in German camps had survived
and were soon returning home."
3023
04:27:28,469 --> 04:27:31,587
I was a US Army Guard at a
German Prison Camp in Andernach.
3024
04:27:32,642 --> 04:27:36,365
And I was uh silent
for 45 years because uh
3025
04:27:37,414 --> 04:27:38,478
I was warned
3026
04:27:39,180 --> 04:27:40,620
it would be futile
to say anything,
3027
04:27:41,073 --> 04:27:43,246
and that I would be in
serious trouble if I did.
3028
04:27:51,627 --> 04:27:53,205

LONDON, ENGLAND
8 MAY 1945
3031
04:28:13,016 --> 04:28:14,077
Victory in Europe.
3032
04:28:14,867 --> 04:28:15,767
V-E Day.
3033
04:28:21,051 --> 04:28:25,720
We may allow ourselves
a brief period of rejoice.
3034
04:28:30,122 --> 04:28:31,702
But let us not forget for
a moment
3035
04:28:32,244 --> 04:28:35,702
the toils and efforts that
lie ahead.
3036
04:28:38,730 --> 04:28:43,829
Japan with all her treachery
and greed remains unsubdued.
3037
04:28:48,402 --> 04:28:51,642
In Asia and the Pacific
the war still raged.

HIROSHIMA, JAPAN
6 AUGUST 1945
3039
04:30:51,954 --> 04:30:53,464
BERLIN, GERMANY
3040
04:30:57,502 --> 04:31:01,339
In the wake of its unconditional
surrender on the 7th of May, 1945,
3041
04:31:01,864 --> 04:31:03,447
Germany lay vanquished.
3042
04:31:04,116 --> 04:31:05,338
Millions had died.
3043
04:31:06,046 --> 04:31:08,730
Those that survived had
suffered terribly during the conflict,
3044
04:31:09,248 --> 04:31:11,417
both in combat and
on the home front.
3045
04:31:15,996 --> 04:31:18,940
Intensive Allied bombing raids
and the ground battle for Germany,
3046
04:31:19,553 --> 04:31:21,931
had forced millions of Germans
from their homes.
3047
04:31:23,955 --> 04:31:25,800
On the 5th of June, 1945,
3048
04:31:26,461 --> 04:31:30,461
the Allies announced they would govern
Germany through 4 occupation zones.
3049
04:31:31,085 --> 04:31:32,537
One for each of the 4 powers.
3050
04:31:33,473 --> 04:31:38,551
The Soviet Union, Britain, the
United States, and France.
3051
04:31:39,480 --> 04:31:42,230
Following the war, hundreds of
thousands of former soldiers,
3052
04:31:42,660 --> 04:31:45,702
Nazi party members,
were held in POW camps.
3053
04:31:46,229 --> 04:31:50,113
Thousands of officers and members
of the Nazi party remained imprisoned.
3054
04:31:50,692 --> 04:31:53,452
Their fate a trial
for war crimes.
3055
04:31:58,120 --> 04:32:00,113
THE ALLIED LIBERATION OF
POW CAMPS
3056
04:32:14,574 --> 04:32:15,890
BUCHENWALD, GERMANY
3057
04:32:18,609 --> 04:32:20,566
The US army forced the local population
to file through the camp
3058
04:32:21,016 --> 04:32:22,656
to view the horrors they had
ecountered upon arrival.
3059
04:32:23,050 --> 04:32:24,729
The sight and stench of thousands of
emaciated and naked corpes
3060
04:32:25,191 --> 04:32:26,981
will also be experienced by the
British at the Bergen-Belsen camp
3061
04:32:27,454 --> 04:32:29,044
and others across Europe.
3062
04:32:53,662 --> 04:32:55,562
Only months before, the Bolsheviks had
claimed they had discovered
3063
04:32:56,094 --> 04:32:57,954
homicidal gas chambers i camps
across eatern Europe.
3064
04:32:59,367 --> 04:33:01,264
This, as the Germans are purposely
led around camps shocked,
3065
04:33:01,753 --> 04:33:03,404
dazed and bewildered, will mark
the beginning
3066
04:33:03,880 --> 04:33:05,867
of what will become known as
de-Nazifiction.
3067
04:33:18,215 --> 04:33:20,004
The Americans claim they have
even more evidence of atrocities.
3068
04:33:20,504 --> 04:33:22,918
A lampshade made from human
skin, two shrunken Polish prisoer's heads
3069
04:33:23,390 --> 04:33:25,299
and pieces of tattooed skin
are displayed
3070
04:33:25,923 --> 04:33:27,856
for an already sickening crowd.
3071
04:33:29,398 --> 04:33:31,684
There will soon be sories of humans
used for soap,
3072
04:33:32,395 --> 04:33:34,227
and even more homocidal gas
chambers discovered,
3073
04:33:34,804 --> 04:33:36,788
this time in the camps
iberated by the Allies.
3074
04:34:23,917 --> 04:34:26,095
THE DACHAU MASSACRES
3075
04:34:30,946 --> 04:34:31,749
Within the first hour of the
liberaion
3076
04:34:32,221 --> 04:34:33,701
of the Dachau POW camp
Northwest of Munich,
3077
04:34:34,194 --> 04:34:36,077
122 SS guards are shot after
surrendering to the US 45th Division.
3078
04:34:36,511 --> 04:34:38,302
Another 40 SS are beaten to
death by inmates.
3079
04:34:52,053 --> 04:34:53,701
A further 358 SS men will be
rounded up
3080
04:34:54,182 --> 04:34:55,917
and herded into an encosed
coal yard.
3081
04:34:56,547 --> 04:34:58,213
Initially, 12 are machine-gunned.
3082
04:35:13,228 --> 04:35:15,384
The rest are executed shoortly
thereafter.
3083
04:35:26,754 --> 04:35:28,324
In total, 560 SS men who had
surrendered
3084
04:35:28,840 --> 04:35:30,501
were murdered during the
liberation of Dachau.
3085
04:35:31,069 --> 04:35:32,630
The only punishment for the
US soldiers involved in the executions
3086
04:35:33,148 --> 04:35:34,637
was the threat of a court-martial.
3087
04:35:41,322 --> 04:35:43,696
Despit claims from prisoners
and the US soldiers who liberated them,
3088
04:35:44,117 --> 04:35:46,084
a sign at Dachau will later
begrudgingly read...
3089
04:35:46,563 --> 04:35:48,077
No gassing ever took place.
3090
04:36:03,298 --> 04:36:04,921
THE NUREMBERG TRIAL
3091
04:36:10,790 --> 04:36:12,461
Admiral Karl Dönitz and the NSDAP
leaders are arrested
3092
04:36:12,928 --> 04:36:14,632
and placed on trial for alleged
war crimes.
3093
04:36:14,633 --> 04:36:16,363
It is an event unprecendendted
in history.
3094
04:36:16,848 --> 04:36:18,416
For the first time ever, members
of a government defeated in war
3095
04:36:18,847 --> 04:36:19,964
will now stand trial for
their lives.
3096
04:36:20,486 --> 04:36:21,744
In the court room will be four
judges, one each from the
3097
04:36:22,202 --> 04:36:23,801
US, Britain, France and the
Soviet Union.
3098
04:36:29,786 --> 04:36:31,145
Admiral Karl Dönitz
3099
04:36:34,928 --> 04:36:36,551
The wer crimes of Stalin are
covered up,
3100
04:36:37,112 --> 04:36:39,385
and will only come to light
when the Soviet Union colapses
3101
04:36:39,837 --> 04:36:41,170
over half a century later.
3102
04:36:41,859 --> 04:36:43,212
Roosevelt and Churchill deliberate
bombing of German civilians
3103
04:36:43,594 --> 04:36:46,011
in Dresden, Hamburg and Berlin
are never recognised as war crimes.
3104
04:36:49,375 --> 04:36:50,958
You can light a
fag on any of those.
3105
04:36:51,624 --> 04:36:52,376
Bombs doors open.
3106
04:36:52,776 --> 04:36:55,160
Bombs doors open.
Bombs away.
3107
04:36:55,552 --> 04:36:56,912
There goes the cookie.
3108
04:36:57,764 --> 04:36:59,114
There go the incendiaries.
3109
04:37:01,741 --> 04:37:03,419
The Allies will use hanging as
a method of execution, a practice
3110
04:37:03,769 --> 04:37:05,224
usually associated with a common
criminal or murderer
3111
04:37:05,608 --> 04:37:06,785
and not a military tribunal.
3112
04:37:07,805 --> 04:37:09,026
Head of the SS Heinrich Himmler
will escape the hangman
3113
04:37:09,442 --> 04:37:10,850
by swallowing cyanide after
his arrest.
3114
04:37:12,857 --> 04:37:14,520
A capsule is also discovered
on Herman Göring.
3115
04:37:14,947 --> 04:37:16,678
He will stand trial however,
and his commanding presence
3116
04:37:17,173 --> 04:37:18,870
will dominate the proceedings.
3117
04:37:29,169 --> 04:37:32,501
What struck you when you
first met him, was his bearing.
3118
04:37:33,463 --> 04:37:36,321
He was a commanding
personality; you were impressed.
3119
04:37:36,733 --> 04:37:38,602
You knew that somebody
important was there.
3120
04:37:41,357 --> 04:37:44,977
Whenever the prisoners
where in their cells
3121
04:37:45,281 --> 04:37:46,227
H. Göering
3122
04:37:46,262 --> 04:37:51,042
they were constantly under
observation; every minute of it.
3123
04:37:53,170 --> 04:37:54,978
As expected, the majority of verdicts
are announced as guilty,
3124
04:37:55,506 --> 04:37:57,546
and the leading National Socialist
receive either the death penalty
3125
04:37:57,939 --> 04:37:59,233
or long prison sentences.
3126
04:38:00,102 --> 04:38:02,285
After being accused a request for
a "soldier's death" by firing squad,
3127
04:38:02,669 --> 04:38:04,347
Hermann Göering hours away from
his execution,
3128
04:38:04,877 --> 04:38:07,512
will also cheat the hangman.
3129
04:38:08,585 --> 04:38:10,310
To this day, it is a mistery
how he was able
3130
04:38:10,750 --> 04:38:12,214
to obtain the required cyanide.
3131
04:38:25,967 --> 04:38:27,578
The ethnic cleansig of National Socialist
will now commence with a witch-hunt
3132
04:38:28,025 --> 04:38:30,401
against German military leaders,
political officials, industrialist and financiers.
3133
04:38:31,883 --> 04:38:32,966
Many of the hangings go
so horribly wrong,
3134
04:38:33,398 --> 04:38:34,574
with some deaths taking
between 20-30 minutes,
3135
04:38:35,835 --> 04:38:37,035
that the British Army will request
the services
3136
04:38:37,458 --> 04:38:39,530
of Britain's top criminal hangman
Albert Pierrepoint.
3137
04:38:49,849 --> 04:38:51,505
Pierrepiont, good
to see you again.
3138
04:38:52,235 --> 04:38:55,815
We've had the gallows constructed
to home office specifications,
3139
04:38:56,581 --> 04:38:57,814
as you've requested.
3140
04:38:58,627 --> 04:39:02,691
And here's the list of tomorrow's
condemned prisoners.
3141
04:39:06,059 --> 04:39:07,384
13 in one day.
3142
04:39:08,908 --> 04:39:10,660
No Sir. I'm not
with you Sir.
3143
04:39:11,081 --> 04:39:13,123
I thought we had a
week to do this job?
3144
04:39:13,503 --> 04:39:17,228
Well yes, but there are
different batches each day.
3145
04:39:19,045 --> 04:39:21,746
Well, how many
others are there, Sir?
3146
04:39:24,218 --> 04:39:26,490
47 in total.
3147
04:39:27,213 --> 04:39:28,079
47?
3148
04:39:28,575 --> 04:39:29,991
That's just this week.
3149
04:39:30,869 --> 04:39:33,606
I'm afraid you'll find
them coming thicker fast,
3150
04:39:33,713 --> 04:39:35,734
now that the courts have
delivered their verdicts.
3151
04:39:38,318 --> 04:39:39,100
Jolly good.
3152
04:39:43,989 --> 04:39:45,556
196 pounds.
3153
04:39:48,426 --> 04:39:49,467
Irma Grese.
3154
04:39:51,207 --> 04:39:52,899
Keiner unterhaltung.
3155
04:40:00,326 --> 04:40:02,213
Uh... 5' 3"
3156
04:40:04,109 --> 04:40:05,898
You do the Jews work for them.
3157
04:40:10,639 --> 04:40:11,668
Stehen bleiben.
3158
04:40:12,746 --> 04:40:13,726
113 pounds
3159
04:40:18,862 --> 04:40:19,853
That's the last of them.
3160
04:41:52,913 --> 04:41:53,937
Time for a break?
3161
04:41:57,111 --> 04:41:59,703
No, we don't want to fall behind.
3162
04:42:44,076 --> 04:42:45,572
To be continued
3163
04:42:51,666 --> 04:42:54,304
Part 20
Adolf Hitler - The Gretest Story NEVER Told!
3164
04:43:00,418 --> 04:43:01,967
CONFESSION BY TORTURE
3165
04:43:10,182 --> 04:43:11,742
Recently released documents disprove
decades of denial, and show
3166
04:43:12,144 --> 04:43:13,929
that the Germans suffered horribly
whilst in British captivity.
3167
04:43:14,739 --> 04:43:16,628
Thousands of Germans passed through
the unit known as the London Cage,
3168
04:43:17,148 --> 04:43:18,770
run by Lieutenant Colonel
Aexander Scotland.
3169
04:43:21,389 --> 04:43:22,897
The London Cage was just one
of a series of nine cages in Britain
3170
04:43:23,289 --> 04:43:25,000
where the torture of Germans
took place.
3171
04:43:40,003 --> 04:43:41,558
At Nuremberg in 1946, the Allie's
"star witness" was Rudof Höss,
3172
04:43:41,983 --> 04:43:43,813
former commandant at Auschwitz,
who they claimed had confessed
3173
04:43:44,239 --> 04:43:45,945
to exterminaing over
3 million Jews.
3174
04:43:47,957 --> 04:43:49,471
Film of emaciated bodies used as
evidence of German atrocities
3175
04:43:49,878 --> 04:43:50,951
is intentionally misleading.
3176
04:43:51,383 --> 04:43:53,669
The Allies know that most of
the inmates perished from typhus...
3177
04:44:01,743 --> 04:44:04,884
Zyklon B dropped into the death
chamber from a small opening.
3178
04:44:06,019 --> 04:44:08,000
It took from 3 to 15 minutes.
3179
04:44:09,476 --> 04:44:10,100
15 DE ABRIL DE 1946
3180
04:44:10,135 --> 04:44:12,965
We knew when the people were
dead because their screaming stopped.
3181
04:44:14,739 --> 04:44:19,084
After the bodies were removed our
special commandos took off the rings
3182
04:44:19,476 --> 04:44:22,240
and extracted the gold
from the teeth of the corpses.
3183
04:44:22,482 --> 04:44:23,565
Jesus
3184
04:44:25,714 --> 04:44:28,759
Children of tender years
were invariably exterminated
3185
04:44:30,867 --> 04:44:33,699
since by reason of their
youth they were unable to work.
3186
04:44:38,475 --> 04:44:40,040
Is that all true and correct
witness?
3187
04:44:42,314 --> 04:44:43,400
Yes.
3188
04:44:46,903 --> 04:44:49,219
It was the British who obtained
by torture
3189
04:44:49,620 --> 04:44:51,500
the confession of Rudolf Hoess,
3190
04:44:51,859 --> 04:44:56,172
Commandant of Auschwitz, before
turning him over to Soviets and Poles.
3191
04:44:56,612 --> 04:44:59,476
This has been confirmed in a book
published in 1983
3192
04:44:59,940 --> 04:45:01,335
titled "Legions of Death",
3193
04:45:01,927 --> 04:45:05,373
which contains the recollections
of British sergeant Bernard Clark,
3194
04:45:06,067 --> 04:45:08,219
who brags about having tortured
Hoess,
3195
04:45:08,572 --> 04:45:09,907
to get a confession out of him,
3196
04:45:10,400 --> 04:45:11,626
and of threatening his family.
3197
04:45:15,011 --> 04:45:17,724
It was here that Hoess was hanged.
3198
04:45:18,216 --> 04:45:19,094
Auschwitz
3199
04:45:28,399 --> 04:45:29,921
Modern science will ultimately
determine the horrific claims
3200
04:45:30,297 --> 04:45:31,987
from Buchenwald and Bergen-Belson
to be Allied propaganda.
3201
04:45:32,466 --> 04:45:34,018
To this day, many believe them
to be true.
3202
04:45:35,569 --> 04:45:37,168
DNA testing proves that the
Dachau lampshade are goatskin.
3203
04:45:37,653 --> 04:45:38,709
And the two shrunken heads?
3204
04:45:39,179 --> 04:45:41,299
They conveniently disappeared
before they could be tested.
3205
04:45:43,461 --> 04:45:44,847
And though other stories -
such as articles made from
3206
04:45:45,279 --> 04:45:46,710
"human tattooed skin" -
are equally false,
3207
04:45:47,187 --> 04:45:48,995
they remain embedded in
Holocaust mythology.
3208
04:46:04,108 --> 04:46:05,763
Only in Eastern Europian camps,
where no invesigation ever occured
3209
04:46:06,244 --> 04:46:08,004
or where alowed, is it
still claimed
3210
04:46:08,507 --> 04:46:10,163
that millions of Jews entered
the gas chambers.
3211
04:46:14,267 --> 04:46:15,738
Perhaps the most dubios piece
of evidence at Nuremberg
3212
04:46:16,163 --> 04:46:17,588
was the story of
"human made into soap".
3213
04:46:21,147 --> 04:46:22,866
Deborah Lipstadt, a cosultant for
the Hoocaust Memorial museum,
3214
04:46:23,281 --> 04:46:25,721
eventually wrote an article confirming
that this was also fabricaion.
3215
04:46:44,220 --> 04:46:45,343
Nazi Soap Rumor During
World War Two
3216
04:46:46,584 --> 04:46:47,896
... The fact is that the Nazis never
used the bodies of Jews,
3217
04:46:48,264 --> 04:46:49,416
or for that matter anyone else,
for the production of soap.
3218
04:46:49,822 --> 04:46:50,999
The soap rumor was prevalent both
during and after the war.
3219
04:46:51,407 --> 04:46:51,910
It may have...
3220
04:46:59,261 --> 04:47:01,407
I rather wished that the Führer
hadn't stood by his followers,
3221
04:47:02,318 --> 04:47:05,925
and taken the responsibility
for his command.
3222
04:47:07,676 --> 04:47:09,123
Think of his position.
3223
04:47:09,870 --> 04:47:13,997
Oh sure. His position as
Chief war criminal, right?
3224
04:47:15,829 --> 04:47:16,915
He was our sovereign.
3225
04:47:19,298 --> 04:47:22,878
It would be intolerable for me to
have him standing before a foreign court.
3226
04:47:25,947 --> 04:47:27,087
You men knew the Führer.
3227
04:47:29,483 --> 04:47:31,034
He would be the first
one to stand up and say,
3228
04:47:32,295 --> 04:47:36,169
"I gave the orders and I
shall take full responsibility!"
3229
04:47:37,427 --> 04:47:40,298
And I would rather
die 10 deaths
3230
04:47:43,325 --> 04:47:46,058
than have the sovereign
subjected to such humiliation.
3231
04:47:55,158 --> 04:47:57,049
GERMAN WAR REPARATION
3232
04:48:04,791 --> 04:48:06,672
Germany finally cleared its
World War One dept in Ocober 2010.
3233
04:48:07,175 --> 04:48:09,091
It amounted to a total of
£22 billion.
3234
04:48:11,028 --> 04:48:12,868
Germany, in 2013, still paying reparation
for World War Two.
3235
04:48:13,323 --> 04:48:15,156
The once-proud nation even has
pending court cases
3236
04:48:15,573 --> 04:48:17,715
at the United Nations for further
reparations concerning Italy and Greece.
3237
04:48:20,519 --> 04:48:21,206
Guilty verdics by the court will
most likely open
3238
04:48:21,615 --> 04:48:23,647
the floodgates for other countries
to follow suit.
3239
04:48:37,486 --> 04:48:39,498
Jews who survived the conceration
camp are known as Holocaust survivors.
3240
04:48:39,998 --> 04:48:41,670
However, other Jews can also
qualify.
3241
04:48:42,157 --> 04:48:44,190
According to AMCHA in Israel,
a Holocaust survivor is any Jew who...
3242
04:48:47,236 --> 04:48:48,443
in 1933... resided anywhere under...
3243
04:48:49,920 --> 04:48:50,904
A Nazi regime
3244
04:48:51,432 --> 04:48:52,848
Nazi occupation
3245
04:48:53,440 --> 04:48:54,894
The regime of Nazi collaborators
3246
04:48:55,849 --> 04:48:57,854
This qualifies any Jew who left
Europe in 1933 for America or elsewhere
3247
04:48:58,296 --> 04:49:00,254
and lived in comfort and safety
whilst the war raget on.
3248
04:49:05,472 --> 04:49:07,437
In 2013, Germany will provide compension
payments to a new category of vicims:
3249
04:49:07,933 --> 04:49:10,102
some 80.000 Jews who fled the German
Army and who eventually resettled
3250
04:49:10,590 --> 04:49:11,918
in former Soviet Union.
3251
04:49:12,539 --> 04:49:14,202
They are eligible for a one-of
payment of $ 3.253
3252
04:49:14,668 --> 04:49:16,754
along whit a monthy Holocaust
pension.
3253
04:49:31,605 --> 04:49:32,875
Despite the seizure by the Allies
3254
04:49:33,267 --> 04:49:34,795
of millions of documents
at the end of the war
3255
04:49:35,284 --> 04:49:36,834
not one single document showing
Adolf Hitler ordered
3256
04:49:37,313 --> 04:49:39,890
systematic exterminatios of the Jews
has ever been found.
3257
04:50:04,888 --> 04:50:06,159
With no photographs, video footage
3258
04:50:06,546 --> 04:50:08,103
or even a single report
of a gassed victim,
3259
04:50:08,644 --> 04:50:10,562
we have had to trust the Soviets
at testimonies of former inmates,
3260
04:50:11,101 --> 04:50:13,059
none of whom were cross-examinated
at Nuremberg.
3261
04:50:16,202 --> 04:50:17,898
However, some inmates tell a
conflicting story
3262
04:50:18,366 --> 04:50:20,596
of their treatment in the Eastern
concentration camps.
3263
04:50:27,043 --> 04:50:33,344
We also had an orchestra where
some of the musicians stands us together
3264
04:50:34,633 --> 04:50:36,555
and one musician was so good
3265
04:50:37,417 --> 04:50:42,190
that he had the instruments
playing and he wrote the notes,
3266
04:50:42,556 --> 04:50:45,316
and later on we had a band
show who played over the weekend.
3267
04:50:47,291 --> 04:50:51,719
And that was of course helping us,
you know we also did plays and stuff.
3268
04:50:52,109 --> 04:50:54,450
Were there any cultural
activities happening in Auschwitz?
3269
04:50:54,961 --> 04:50:59,195
Yes. I told you we
had a piano, put into,
3270
04:50:59,687 --> 04:51:02,955
not just a piano, a grand
piano, was brought into block one.
3271
04:51:03,473 --> 04:51:05,268
Once that was built, that new block,
3272
04:51:05,820 --> 04:51:08,426
the downstairs room was assigned
for theater.
3273
04:51:08,994 --> 04:51:11,878
They said they're going
to build a movie in the camp.
3274
04:51:14,207 --> 04:51:17,120
The prisoners sat down and
, "you must be crazy,
3275
04:51:17,567 --> 04:51:21,180
you cannot make a movie
for us in the camp?"
3276
04:51:21,928 --> 04:51:24,362
But really it happened.
They made a movie in the camp.
3277
04:51:24,880 --> 04:51:29,592
Yeah, and we...
we went in barracks
3278
04:51:30,060 --> 04:51:33,652
after work we... we could
go to see a movie sometimes,
3279
04:51:34,763 --> 04:51:38,233
they brought movies in see.
...in the evenings, and...
3280
04:51:39,296 --> 04:51:41,022
What kind of movies
would they show?
3281
04:51:41,468 --> 04:51:42,611
German movies.
3282
04:51:43,369 --> 04:51:45,198
Once I came to
the main camp,
3283
04:51:45,703 --> 04:51:48,900
we were allowed twice
a month to write home.
3284
04:51:49,466 --> 04:51:51,910
Once a postcard and once a letter.
3285
04:51:53,415 --> 04:51:54,424
They gave you the materials?
3286
04:51:54,833 --> 04:51:58,846
Yeah, they gave us the letter
and the materials... the cost.
3287
04:51:59,128 --> 04:52:00,153
You had money?
3288
04:52:00,495 --> 04:52:04,221
Yeah, we got my ways??...still
got my wa??...money we got through the
3289
04:52:04,617 --> 04:52:08,494
Jewish community from
they know who send us...
3290
04:52:09,222 --> 04:52:11,287
everybody some money.
3291
04:52:13,026 --> 04:52:15,742
And in the camp you could
have currency?
3292
04:52:16,126 --> 04:52:18,699
Yeah, we could have money,
because there was in camp loads
3293
04:52:19,044 --> 04:52:20,390
of what they called a "Cantina",
3294
04:52:21,490 --> 04:52:27,782
and not many times, but once in
a while they sold a few cigarettes,
3295
04:52:28,219 --> 04:52:32,460
or they sold something...
whatever they had.
3296
04:52:33,459 --> 04:52:37,079
So if you had money you
could buy, at the Cantina there.
3297
04:52:37,999 --> 04:52:41,853
Redeemable in... in that
Cantina if they had something.
3298
04:52:42,987 --> 04:52:49,413
So, that was their... their
way of distributing money.
3299
04:52:51,270 --> 04:52:54,188
To everybody, everyone got
this money.
3300
04:52:55,091 --> 04:52:58,799
Soccer teams...
were organized very well.
3301
04:53:01,896 --> 04:53:03,081
the event is held in the former
barrack's courtyard
3302
04:53:05,674 --> 04:53:09,222
And one of these uh
enlisted, top enlisted SS men,
3303
04:53:09,897 --> 04:53:12,244
decided he wants to play
for the Polish team.
3304
04:53:13,031 --> 04:53:16,452
So... we say okay,
you can play.
3305
04:53:17,576 --> 04:53:21,543
And then the Commandant...
Commandant... SS Commandant,
3306
04:53:22,414 --> 04:53:24,322
he was uh like...
like a Captain,
3307
04:53:25,474 --> 04:53:28,080
he decided he wanted to
play for the German team.
3308
04:53:28,854 --> 04:53:33,932
So he went in the field. But that's
happened, so... but it was 1944, see?
3309
04:53:34,588 --> 04:53:36,372
Is what you're saying then that um...
3310
04:53:36,754 --> 04:53:38,664
the closer the end
of the war came, uh...
3311
04:53:40,118 --> 04:53:42,492
pressure was let up rather than ah...
- Definitely.
3312
04:53:43,149 --> 04:53:44,811
becoming more cruel or...?
3313
04:53:46,140 --> 04:53:47,249
Freddie Hirsch called me...
3314
04:53:47,831 --> 04:53:50,238
to the children's barracks,
he was heading then,
3315
04:53:50,952 --> 04:53:54,918
and uh... he asked me if I could paint
something on the wall for the children?
3316
04:53:55,294 --> 04:53:57,585
And I said, "well, if you
can get the materials?"
3317
04:53:57,998 --> 04:53:59,128
He said,
"I'll get the materials."
3318
04:53:59,828 --> 04:54:00,699
And I said, "Okay".
3319
04:54:01,194 --> 04:54:03,866
And then a very handsome
young blonde man
3320
04:54:04,198 --> 04:54:06,395
from the man's camp
came over one day,
3321
04:54:07,447 --> 04:54:09,781
and Freddie Hirsch called
me to come and meet him.
3322
04:54:10,597 --> 04:54:12,131
And he asked me what I need?
3323
04:54:12,491 --> 04:54:15,796
So, I said, "well, if I
can get any wall paints,
3324
04:54:16,204 --> 04:54:19,122
so I mean tempera paints,
I would like those,
3325
04:54:19,888 --> 04:54:23,524
if you get me some?"
And he said, "Yes, anything you want."
3326
04:54:25,104 --> 04:54:30,534
So I made a painting of Dopey
standing on another dwarfs head,
3327
04:54:31,069 --> 04:54:33,650
with a cloak around him
so he looked like a tall guy.
3328
04:54:34,601 --> 04:54:36,166
So he would be as tall
as Snow White.
3329
04:54:36,396 --> 04:54:36,852
Theresienstadt Concentration Camp
3330
04:54:36,880 --> 04:54:39,148
I now understand that
there was another painter,
3331
04:54:40,072 --> 04:54:44,059
who continued something
painting on the walls after I'd left.
3332
04:54:44,975 --> 04:54:47,350
What did it do,
not only for... for you,
3333
04:54:47,625 --> 04:54:50,799
but for the...
for the children?
3334
04:54:53,602 --> 04:54:55,524
On, on an emotional level?
3335
04:54:56,051 --> 04:54:59,232
Well it did several things,
not just emotional,
3336
04:54:59,557 --> 04:55:01,581
but the children then wrote a play,
3337
04:55:02,041 --> 04:55:05,348
which was a satire of Snow
White and the Seven Dwarfs.
3338
04:55:05,639 --> 04:55:07,213
The play was very successful.
3339
04:55:07,893 --> 04:55:12,994
Because the little girl,
who was playing Snow White,
3340
04:55:13,043 --> 04:55:14,894
had an incredible voice.
3341
04:55:15,184 --> 04:55:16,317
A gorgeous soprano,
3342
04:55:16,765 --> 04:55:20,098
just like the one that you
hear in the movie.
3343
04:55:23,660 --> 04:55:25,187
Apart from ameniutes we know
of that included...
3344
04:55:26,146 --> 04:55:28,286
An orchesra, movies, camp money,
canteen, postcards, letters,
3345
04:55:28,766 --> 04:55:30,470
theater, musical plays and a
football team...
3346
04:55:31,285 --> 04:55:32,516
Facilities at the Auschwitz "death
camp" also featured...
3347
04:55:35,428 --> 04:55:37,076
A hospial, a library and an
Olimpic size swimming pool
3348
04:55:37,564 --> 04:55:39,173
complete with several diving
boards.
3349
04:55:55,670 --> 04:55:58,365
... AND COMPARED TO STALIN'S GULAGS?
3350
04:56:26,916 --> 04:56:28,547
STALIN'S GULAGS
3351
04:56:37,927 --> 04:56:42,827
Look down, look down,
you'll always be a slave
3352
04:56:43,272 --> 04:56:48,374
Look down, look down,
You're standing in your grave
3353
04:56:48,875 --> 04:56:53,616
Look down, look down,
you'll always be a slave
3354
04:56:54,148 --> 04:56:59,202
Look down, look down,
You're standing in your grave
3355
04:57:20,471 --> 04:57:22,195
To be continued
3356
04:57:29,640 --> 04:57:32,086
Part 21
Adolf Hitler - The Gretest Story NEVER Told!
3357
04:57:37,016 --> 04:57:38,553
In1992, a brilliant young Jewish
revisionist named David Cole,
3358
04:57:39,115 --> 04:57:40,532
made a groundbreaking documentary
about the Holocaust.
3359
04:57:41,053 --> 04:57:42,381
This is an edited version of
his work.
3360
04:57:42,805 --> 04:57:44,837
The complete documentary "Cole in
Auschwitz" can be viewed on the internet.
3361
04:57:50,333 --> 04:57:53,474
I know from years of my own
research and the research of others
3362
04:57:54,235 --> 04:57:56,185
that proofs of the Holocaust
are few.
3363
04:57:56,937 --> 04:57:58,612
Literally, all there is
3364
04:57:58,977 --> 04:58:02,592
are the "eyewitness" testimonies
and postwar confessions.
3365
04:58:03,031 --> 04:58:05,790
There's no picture, plan
or wartime document
3366
04:58:06,275 --> 04:58:08,174
dealing with homicidal gas
chambers,
3367
04:58:08,646 --> 04:58:11,040
or a plan to exterminate
the Jews.
3368
04:58:12,664 --> 04:58:16,022
And we can't use the excuse that
the Nazis destroyed all the evidence
3369
04:58:16,468 --> 04:58:18,484
because after we had
broken the German code,
3370
04:58:19,200 --> 04:58:21,965
we were able to intercept
their secret transmissions
3371
04:58:22,260 --> 04:58:24,308
including those that came
from Auschwitz.
3372
04:58:25,027 --> 04:58:27,096
The key to understanding
the Holocaust story
3373
04:58:27,425 --> 04:58:29,520
is understanding the true nature
of the things
3374
04:58:29,950 --> 04:58:31,798
passed off as "proofs".
3375
04:58:32,547 --> 04:58:34,934
Everything that is used as
evidence of the Holocaust
3376
04:58:35,302 --> 04:58:38,590
also can be said to have a
perfectly normal explanation.
3377
04:58:40,505 --> 04:58:41,214
For example,
3378
04:58:41,590 --> 04:58:45,950
these exhibits are said to be
the material "proofs" of exterminations.
3379
04:58:46,564 --> 04:58:50,010
There's the piles of human hair.
But what does that prove?
3380
04:58:50,496 --> 04:58:54,065
It's acknowledged that each inmate
had his or her head shaved
3381
04:58:54,465 --> 04:58:55,966
because of the lice problem.
3382
04:58:56,511 --> 04:58:57,446
That's not denied,
3383
04:58:57,798 --> 04:58:59,829
so why wouldn't there be
piles of human hair?
3384
04:59:00,319 --> 04:59:03,438
What about the piles of shoes
and clothing; is that a proof?
3385
04:59:03,943 --> 04:59:07,196
It's a fact that the prisoners
were issued a uniform upon arrival,
3386
04:59:07,877 --> 04:59:09,124
including shoes.
3387
04:59:09,545 --> 04:59:12,338
So why wouldn't there be piles
of inmates' shoes and clothing?
3388
04:59:12,719 --> 04:59:14,346
It doesn't prove anybody
was killed.
3389
04:59:15,490 --> 04:59:17,427
What about the canisters
of gas?
3390
04:59:17,968 --> 04:59:22,810
No one denies that Zyklon B was used
to disinfect clothes and also buildings.
3391
04:59:23,291 --> 04:59:27,907
Zyklon B was one of the premier pest
control agents in Europe at that time.
3392
04:59:28,474 --> 04:59:31,963
It was present in most of the
concentration camps including those
3393
04:59:32,542 --> 04:59:35,860
that are not said to have had
homicidal gas chambers in them.
3394
04:59:36,308 --> 04:59:39,571
The typhus epidemic that spread
throughout Europe during the war
3395
04:59:40,017 --> 04:59:41,588
and also spread through the camps
3396
04:59:42,053 --> 04:59:44,659
called for stringent lice control
procedures.
3397
04:59:45,813 --> 04:59:47,555
So what other proofs are offered?
3398
04:59:47,962 --> 04:59:50,469
Well, there's the usual
pictures of sick inmates
3399
04:59:50,782 --> 04:59:54,250
which proves the ground-breaking
thesis that people got sick in the camp.
3400
04:59:54,606 --> 04:59:57,162
Once again I'll add that nobody
denies the typhus epidemic
3401
04:59:57,474 --> 04:59:58,874
which resulted in many deaths.
3402
05:00:00,337 --> 05:00:01,206
Then there's the artwork
3403
05:00:02,413 --> 05:00:03,576
and the pictures of children.
3404
05:00:04,190 --> 05:00:07,984
But at this point it's looking pretty bad
for somebody looking for objective proofs
3405
05:00:08,019 --> 05:00:09,190
of the gas chamber.
3406
05:00:09,225 --> 05:00:14,031
And some of the proofs they present
actually work against the concept.
3407
05:00:15,433 --> 05:00:18,613
For example, they have one
of several aerial photographs
3408
05:00:18,989 --> 05:00:22,040
taken at Auschwitz by
the Allies during the war.
3409
05:00:22,270 --> 05:00:24,221
They don't mention, however,
that when blown up,
3410
05:00:24,926 --> 05:00:28,699
these photos don't show people
being gassed or bodies being burned,
3411
05:00:29,312 --> 05:00:32,884
even though they were taken during the
time killings were said to be going on
3412
05:00:33,464 --> 05:00:34,852
almost non-stop.
3413
05:00:35,673 --> 05:00:40,012
Once inside, we can see why revisionists
have had such a field day with this building:
3414
05:00:40,884 --> 05:00:43,260
Obvious marks on the walls
and floors,
3415
05:00:43,677 --> 05:00:45,941
where apparently walls had been
knocked down.
3416
05:00:46,525 --> 05:00:50,195
Equally obvious holes in the floor
where bathroom facilities had been.
3417
05:00:52,218 --> 05:00:53,327
We maintain that,
3418
05:00:53,774 --> 05:00:56,295
unlike the large hollow chamber
we now see,
3419
05:00:56,927 --> 05:01:00,566
this room had once been 5
rooms including a bathroom.
3420
05:01:01,093 --> 05:01:05,270
Yet the building does have what appears
to be evidence of criminal usage;
3421
05:01:05,868 --> 05:01:07,341
4 holes in the ceiling,
3422
05:01:07,845 --> 05:01:11,076
which lead to the roof where
4 little chimneys stand.
3423
05:01:11,668 --> 05:01:15,748
It is said that through these 4 holes,
Zyklon B crystals were dropped.
3424
05:01:16,492 --> 05:01:19,482
And indeed, there seems to be
no other explanation for them.
3425
05:01:20,164 --> 05:01:22,477
Do these holes prove
homicidal gassings?
3426
05:01:23,171 --> 05:01:25,974
Revisionists have claimed in the past
that these holes were added
3427
05:01:26,375 --> 05:01:27,918
after the camp's liberation,
3428
05:01:28,543 --> 05:01:32,293
and that the inside walls were knocked
down and the bathroom facilities removed
3429
05:01:32,597 --> 05:01:35,157
to make the room look
like a big gas chamber.
3430
05:01:36,773 --> 05:01:40,676
Let's start again talking about
this building here. Um this...
3431
05:01:41,804 --> 05:01:43,119
This is a crematorium
/ gas chamber.
3432
05:01:43,445 --> 05:01:44,473
But this is a reconstruction?
3433
05:01:46,208 --> 05:01:49,693
It is in original state.
- Original? - Original state.
3434
05:01:51,006 --> 05:01:52,866
It is an original part. Original.
3435
05:01:53,178 --> 05:01:53,862
Oh, it is original?
3436
05:01:54,206 --> 05:01:57,540
Original, in through this
chimney was thrown Zyklon B.
3437
05:02:00,891 --> 05:02:02,766
Later, a senior official would confirm
that the holes in the roof
3438
05:02:03,197 --> 05:02:04,524
had been built after
the war.
3439
05:02:05,688 --> 05:02:07,373
Are those the original
holes in the ceiling?
3440
05:02:07,627 --> 05:02:08,155
No.
3441
05:02:08,409 --> 05:02:09,397
They've been rebuilt?
- Yes.
3442
05:02:10,763 --> 05:02:12,410
Okay. After the war?
- After the war, yes.
3443
05:02:13,919 --> 05:02:15,770
Dr. Franciszek Piper, the senior curator
3444
05:02:16,185 --> 05:02:18,225
and director or of archives
at the Auschwitz State Museum,
3445
05:02:18,655 --> 05:02:20,767
admitted on camera to David Cole
that "Krema 1", the alleged
3446
05:02:21,191 --> 05:02:23,139
"homocidal gas chamber" at the
Auschwitz main camp was,
3447
05:02:23,555 --> 05:02:25,411
in fact, fabricated after the war
by the Soviet Union,
3448
05:02:25,812 --> 05:02:27,714
under direct orders of Stalin.
3449
05:02:28,179 --> 05:02:30,810
This includes the fake chimney, that
is not even connected with crematorium.
3450
05:02:37,017 --> 05:02:42,907
This is Auschwitz-Birkenau in an Allied
aerial photo from September 1944.
3451
05:02:43,197 --> 05:02:46,310
The train that would come up,
carrying the doomed inmates,
3452
05:02:46,677 --> 05:02:49,647
you would have thousands of
inmates being marched off the trains
3453
05:02:49,971 --> 05:02:54,264
into one of these two gas chambers
in full view of the entire camp.
3454
05:02:54,416 --> 05:02:57,316
This was a spectacle that nobody
in the camp could miss;
3455
05:02:57,647 --> 05:02:59,036
they would see thousands
of people
3456
05:02:59,523 --> 05:03:03,163
marching into those buildings
and nobody coming out.
3457
05:03:03,801 --> 05:03:06,554
These were "gas chambers" that
were not isolated from anyone
3458
05:03:07,129 --> 05:03:10,922
and indeed, when these aerial photo-
graphs were released in the late 70's,
3459
05:03:11,687 --> 05:03:15,479
they contradicted many
supposed eyewitness claims
3460
05:03:15,646 --> 05:03:19,761
about how the Nazis had tried to
camouflage the gas chambers at Birkenau.
3461
05:03:20,853 --> 05:03:22,729
Another question that should
be asked:
3462
05:03:23,449 --> 05:03:27,042
Is there any Zyklon B
residue in the gas chamber,
3463
05:03:27,494 --> 05:03:34,712
knowing that cyanide gas would,
in fact, leave a residue?
3464
05:03:35,303 --> 05:03:38,628
conducted forensic examinations
on the gas chambers at Auschwitz
3465
05:03:39,102 --> 05:03:40,502
to answer that question.
3466
05:03:40,729 --> 05:03:43,469
He took samples from the
4 gas chambers at Birkenau,
3467
05:03:43,852 --> 05:03:44,877
the one at the main camp
3468
05:03:45,485 --> 05:03:46,513
and the control sample
3469
05:03:46,985 --> 05:03:50,551
from one of the disinfestation chambers
that we know did use Zyklon B.
3470
05:03:51,046 --> 05:03:55,150
Now, the gas chamber samples
showed almost no appreciable traces
3471
05:03:55,739 --> 05:04:00,316
whereas the dis-infestation sample
literally went right off the scale.
3472
05:04:01,148 --> 05:04:04,756
In 1990, the Institute of
Forensic Research in Krakow
3473
05:04:05,195 --> 05:04:07,730
decided to conduct
their own forensic tests
3474
05:04:08,113 --> 05:04:10,650
to see if they could refute
Fred Leuchter's findings,
3475
05:04:11,283 --> 05:04:14,107
and their own tests got
back the same results.
3476
05:04:20,796 --> 05:04:21,882
In Canada in 1988, Ernst Zündel
faced charges
3477
05:04:22,265 --> 05:04:23,857
for Holocaust denial in
a second trial.
3478
05:04:24,233 --> 05:04:25,152
He hired American Frederick A.
Leuchter,
3479
05:04:25,536 --> 05:04:26,824
a court-certified expert
in gas execution technology.
3480
05:04:27,153 --> 05:04:28,391
After secrely conducing scientific
experiments
3481
05:04:28,727 --> 05:04:29,879
in camps such as Auschwitz
in Poland,
3482
05:04:30,335 --> 05:04:32,271
on his return he pubished his
findings in the "Leucher Report".
3483
05:04:37,678 --> 05:04:43,159
I told Mr. Zundel and his
defense team prior to my going,
3484
05:04:43,662 --> 05:04:47,830
that if I did in fact find facilities
that could have supported executions,
3485
05:04:48,727 --> 05:04:52,668
not only whether they did,
did support the executions,
3486
05:04:53,182 --> 05:04:56,417
but only whether or not they could
have sustained gas executions,
3487
05:04:56,999 --> 05:04:59,780
I would make that
very clear in my report.
3488
05:05:00,169 --> 05:05:04,199
And that is what I would testify
to, when I testified in court.
3489
05:05:05,476 --> 05:05:07,512
What aside from the samples
convinced you
3490
05:05:07,913 --> 05:05:10,253
that these facilities could not
have been used
3491
05:05:10,508 --> 05:05:12,332
then or now as execution facilities?
3492
05:05:13,566 --> 05:05:17,167
You must have gasketed
doors, no windows.
3493
05:05:17,819 --> 05:05:21,265
Means of getting the gas in,
means of getting the gas out.
3494
05:05:22,612 --> 05:05:26,638
If those persons operating the
facilities didn't gas themselves to death
3495
05:05:27,233 --> 05:05:29,398
at the same time that
the executies died,
3496
05:05:29,845 --> 05:05:32,647
they certainly would have
been blown to bits,
3497
05:05:33,224 --> 05:05:36,974
when the gas exploded from a
switch, the heat of a light bulb,
3498
05:05:37,511 --> 05:05:41,335
or the gas approaching and
getting in to the crematory furnace.
3499
05:05:42,392 --> 05:05:47,862
We're talking about brick and
mortar buildings, without heat,
3500
05:05:49,899 --> 05:05:54,361
with non explosion proof
lighting, without gasketed doors.
3501
05:05:54,786 --> 05:05:56,640
In some cases without doors
at all.
3502
05:05:57,157 --> 05:06:01,625
And with crematories that opened
very close or adjacent to the facility.
3503
05:06:01,946 --> 05:06:05,144
I mean it's just
ludicrous to consider
3504
05:06:05,672 --> 05:06:08,704
that these facilities could have
been used as gas chambers.
3505
05:06:09,148 --> 05:06:11,272
There's no such a thing
as an "eye witness".
3506
05:06:11,942 --> 05:06:14,199
I have never seen a report that
was written,
3507
05:06:14,663 --> 05:06:17,573
by anyone, who had a valid description
3508
05:06:18,202 --> 05:06:21,080
of what could of happened
at a gassing.
3509
05:06:22,508 --> 05:06:26,336
So, the long and the short of it
is, there are no eye witnesses,
3510
05:06:27,821 --> 05:06:29,520
because there were no gassings.
3511
05:06:39,009 --> 05:06:40,863
I think it's necessary to put
this matter
3512
05:06:41,206 --> 05:06:43,126
in its proper historical perspective.
3513
05:06:43,817 --> 05:06:45,765
You see, we live in a time now
3514
05:06:46,171 --> 05:06:48,386
when the old Soviet Union
has fallen apart
3515
05:06:48,934 --> 05:06:51,617
and it's now okay for both liberals
and conservatives,
3516
05:06:51,922 --> 05:06:52,999
as well as everybody else,
3517
05:06:53,464 --> 05:06:55,952
to speak ill of the
departed communist state.
3518
05:06:56,873 --> 05:06:58,514
But it was not always that way.
3519
05:06:59,055 --> 05:07:02,977
During World War 2, the Soviets
were more than just a military ally;
3520
05:07:03,677 --> 05:07:07,803
their anti-Nazi propaganda was
readily accepted by the other Allies
3521
05:07:08,246 --> 05:07:10,339
because it served all of
their purposes.
3522
05:07:10,981 --> 05:07:12,963
The point is, that,
as the victors,
3523
05:07:13,331 --> 05:07:17,643
the Soviets got to commit their
propaganda to the history books as fact.
3524
05:07:19,623 --> 05:07:21,810
With the 20-20 hindsight
we now have,
3525
05:07:22,442 --> 05:07:24,280
the knowledge of Stalin's despotism,
3526
05:07:24,720 --> 05:07:27,852
and the KGB's history of
misinformation and deception,
3527
05:07:28,570 --> 05:07:30,377
as well as the other camps in Poland;
3528
05:07:30,730 --> 05:07:34,041
Majdanek. Belzec, Chelmno, Treblinka
and Sobibor,
3529
05:07:34,659 --> 05:07:38,139
we've had to rely on the Soviets
for most of our information.
3530
05:07:43,410 --> 05:07:46,063
THE RISE AND FALL OF THE
AUSCHWITZ DEATH TOLL
3531
05:07:51,418 --> 05:07:53,854
In Krakov, the trial of the principal
culprits
3532
05:07:54,174 --> 05:07:55,494
for the Auschwitz concentration
camp
3533
05:07:55,989 --> 05:07:58,718
came to an end before a Polish court.
1945- 300.000 dead.
3534
05:07:59,074 --> 05:08:01,650
Altogether nearly 300.000 people
from the most different nations
3535
05:08:02,242 --> 05:08:04,427
died in the Auschwitz concentration
camp.
3536
05:08:10,814 --> 05:08:11,155
FOUR MILLION
3537
05:08:11,443 --> 05:08:11,905
PEOPLE SUFERED
3538
05:08:12,168 --> 05:08:12,672
AND DIED HERE
3539
05:08:12,967 --> 05:08:13,416
AT THE HANDS
3540
05:08:13,711 --> 05:08:14,184

FROM VARIOUS COUNTRIES
3551
05:08:23,263 --> 05:08:23,559
OF EUROPE.
3552
05:08:23,824 --> 05:08:24,256
AUSCHWITZ - BIRKENAU
1940-1945
3553
05:08:28,420 --> 05:08:29,902
Deaths at Auschwitz drop by a
huge 2.5 million,
3554
05:08:29,986 --> 05:08:31,620
but still the total 6.000.000 deaths
remains the same.

3569
05:09:41,181 --> 05:09:42,455
... "the Europiean holocaust."
3570
05:09:46,788 --> 05:09:47,883
3571
05:09:49,365 --> 05:09:50,721
... A depressing picture of 6.000.000...

05:09:59,652 --> 05:10:00,500
CNN - 2013
3574
05:10:01,256 --> 05:10:02,840
I believe in the inarguable fact,
3575
05:10:03,581 --> 05:10:06,581
that 6 million Jews were killed
in the war by Adolf Hitler Nazis.
3576
05:10:07,100 --> 05:10:08,452
I'm merely asking you,
3577
05:10:08,787 --> 05:10:10,956
as a President of Iran,
and as a scholar,
3578
05:10:11,757 --> 05:10:14,908
do you believe 6 million Jews
were killed by the Nazis,
3579
05:10:15,202 --> 05:10:16,441
or do you think that is
not true?
3580
05:10:17,070 --> 05:10:18,356
In a 2005 speech, Iran's former
president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad,
3581
05:10:18,853 --> 05:10:20,117
caused an international uproar
by describing the Holocaust
3582
05:10:20,486 --> 05:10:22,104
as a fabricated legend
promoted to protect Israel.
3583
05:10:31,946 --> 05:10:33,481
David Cole disappires after his 1994
appearance on the Phil Donahue show
3584
05:10:33,801 --> 05:10:35,066
after receiving several death threats
from Jewish extremists.
3585
05:10:35,801 --> 05:10:36,802
He recently emerged from hiding
in 2013.
3586
05:10:37,685 --> 05:10:39,109
In Canada in 1988, Ernst Zündel was
convicted
3587
05:10:39,533 --> 05:10:40,718
and sentenced to a nine-month
jail term
3588
05:10:41,158 --> 05:10:42,510
after the court dismissed Leucher's
testimony.
3589
05:10:43,386 --> 05:10:45,410
Later, Ernst Zündel will spent 2 years
in solitary confinement in a Canadian jail
3590
05:10:45,849 --> 05:10:47,305
before being deported to Germany
to stand trial.
3591
05:10:53,105 --> 05:10:54,826
Fred Leuchter asked for a joint
scientific investigation into the Holocust.
3592
05:10:55,194 --> 05:10:55,880
It never happened.
3593
05:10:56,206 --> 05:10:57,773
Insteed he was targeted by Jewish
extremists and his career ruined.
3594
05:10:58,730 --> 05:10:59,880
Since its publication the Leuchter
Report has earned
3595
05:11:00,273 --> 05:11:01,640
legendary status in the world
of Hoocaust Revisionism.
3596
05:11:04,167 --> 05:11:05,366
Denying the Holocaust is a
criminal offence
3597
05:11:05,734 --> 05:11:06,942
and carries a custodial sentence
in several European counries.
3598
05:11:07,684 --> 05:11:09,201
The Holocaust is the ONLY event
in history to be enforced by law.

Dirk Zimmerman, German court.

3620

But I don't think 6 million
Jews were gassed.
3621
05:12:16,982 --> 05:12:19,154
Now be... be careful,
I beg of you.
3622
05:12:19,918 --> 05:12:21,601
This is against the law in Germany.
3623
05:12:22,421 --> 05:12:24,700
If there was a German, or
somebody with the German state,
3624
05:12:25,209 --> 05:12:27,212
you could have me thrown in
prison, before I leave Germany.
3625
05:12:27,826 --> 05:12:29,309
I hope that's not your intention.
3626

Part 22
Adolf Hitler - The Gretest Story NEVER Told!
3630
05:12:51,619 --> 05:12:53,192
9 August 1945, Nagasaki, Japan
3631
05:13:01,232 --> 05:13:02,596
10 days earlier
3632
05:13:13,574 --> 05:13:14,958
THE OCEAN OF DEATH
3633
05:13:24,438 --> 05:13:25,998
After delivering the first atomic bomb
for the drop over Hiroshima,
3634
05:13:26,421 --> 05:13:27,622
the USS Indianapolis is hit by
two torpedoes
3635
05:13:28,070 --> 05:13:29,205
fired from a Japanese submarine.
3636
05:13:30,022 --> 05:13:31,605
The ship with a crew of 1197
sank in only 12 minues.
3637
05:13:32,126 --> 05:13:33,926
It is estimated that 300 sailors
initially perished.
3638
05:13:44,055 --> 05:13:45,725
They were the lucky ones.
3639
05:14:00,707 --> 05:14:01,783
DAY ONE
3640
05:14:34,856 --> 05:14:36,280
DAY TWO
3641
05:15:06,682 --> 05:15:08,185
DAY 3
3642
05:15:11,906 --> 05:15:13,353
The terrified sailors are cold,
hungry and thirsty.
3643
05:15:13,733 --> 05:15:15,085
Many are unable to resist
drinking sea water,
3644
05:15:15,467 --> 05:15:16,771
which will not only cause them
to vomit and hallucinate,
3645
05:15:17,114 --> 05:15:18,683
but will eventually be fatal
in less then six hours
3646
05:15:29,484 --> 05:15:30,522
The USS Indianapolis is now
long overdue
3647
05:15:30,929 --> 05:15:32,604
and US officials are still unaware
of the plight of the crew.
3648
05:15:33,059 --> 05:15:35,077
The tragedy will be the largest
maritime disaster in US naval history.
3649
05:15:47,748 --> 05:15:49,315
DAY FOUR
3650
05:15:58,112 --> 05:15:59,735
Out of the almost 900 that survived
the initial torpedo attack
3651
05:16:00,065 --> 05:16:01,295
only 317 are rescued from the
shark-infested waters.
3652
05:16:01,814 --> 05:16:03,336
Captain Charles B. McVay survived
the disaster,
3653
05:16:03,752 --> 05:16:05,168
but was later court-martialed
and find guilty
3654
05:16:05,585 --> 05:16:07,781
of endangering the ship in a
government cover-up in November 1945.
3655
05:16:08,597 --> 05:16:09,804
After years of being plagued by
abusive phone calls
3656
05:16:10,150 --> 05:16:12,397
from family members of the crow,
he commited suicide in 1968.
3657
05:16:13,782 --> 05:16:14,898
He was exoerated of all charges
3658
05:16:15,378 --> 05:16:17,158
by the United States Congress
in October 2000.
3659
05:16:28,941 --> 05:16:31,683
Six days after the bombing of Nagasaki,
hostilities between the US and Japan cease.
3660
05:16:32,209 --> 05:16:33,873
World War Two finaly ends.
3661
05:16:39,042 --> 05:16:40,373
From the Mediterranean to the Baltic,
3662
05:16:40,869 --> 05:16:43,178
the victors were shaping Europe
in their own image.
3663
05:16:45,022 --> 05:16:48,820
Poland, the invader's route
to Russia, obsessed Stalin.
3664
05:16:50,787 --> 05:16:53,239
Eastern Poland had been
annexed by the Soviet Union.
3665
05:16:54,469 --> 05:16:57,639
As compensation the Allies
shifted the whole country westward,
3666
05:16:58,281 --> 05:17:00,293
giving Poland the eastern
territories of Germany.
3667
05:17:01,708 --> 05:17:03,863
The Germans were expelled.
3668
05:17:05,888 --> 05:17:07,184
Soviet zone
3669
05:17:09,349 --> 05:17:11,655
From all over Europe
some 12 million Germans
3670
05:17:12,108 --> 05:17:15,144
were expelled from lands
they had lived in for centuries.
3671
05:17:20,855 --> 05:17:22,977
Today it's called ethnic cleansing.
3672
05:17:23,348 --> 05:17:25,963
Then, the Allies called
it population transfer.
3673
05:17:26,786 --> 05:17:28,885
And the British helped to
move the Germans out.
3674
05:17:32,549 --> 05:17:33,787
The Allies will now strip
factories of machinery
3675
05:17:34,207 --> 05:17:35,215
and plunder German inventions
3676
05:17:35,604 --> 05:17:37,079
50 years or more ahead
of their time.
3677
05:17:37,809 --> 05:17:39,162
In just 12 jears under Adolf Hitler
and National Socialism,
3678
05:17:39,543 --> 05:17:40,911
Germany had become the world
leader in the fields
3679
05:17:41,351 --> 05:17:42,432
of medicine, science and techology.
3680
05:17:43,661 --> 05:17:44,989
It is the greatest theft of nation's
intellect ever,
3681
05:17:45,581 --> 05:17:47,141
with 1554 tons of patented documents
worth billions,
3682
05:17:47,575 --> 05:17:49,446
collected and sent back
to the US alone.
3683
05:17:56,393 --> 05:18:00,332
The Allies had decided that Germany
should compensate them for war damage.
3684
05:18:05,176 --> 05:18:09,492
The German population was forced to help
the Russians seize industrial resources.
3685
05:18:11,733 --> 05:18:12,701
Not just machines,
3686
05:18:13,280 --> 05:18:16,778
thousands of craftsmen and scientists
were kidnapped
3687
05:18:16,878 --> 05:18:18,112
and taken to the Soviet Union.
3688
05:18:23,377 --> 05:18:24,256
THE WONDER OF GERMAN SCIENCE
AND TECHNOLOGY
3689
05:18:24,565 --> 05:18:26,504
This part of the story
is an amazing one.
3690
05:18:26,767 --> 05:18:29,309
And few people even
today know about it.
3691
05:18:29,493 --> 05:18:31,211
Werner von Braun - Leading
German rocket scientist
3692
05:18:40,586 --> 05:18:41,913
Watch it Chuck,
keep your eyes open.
3693
05:18:42,299 --> 05:18:43,553
There's a break at 11, break at 11.
3694
05:18:44,157 --> 05:18:45,569
Planes 9 o'clock coming around.
3695
05:18:55,746 --> 05:18:57,049
Fire at 10:30.
Coming around.
3696
05:18:57,609 --> 05:18:58,862
10:30 upper or lower?
3697
05:19:02,044 --> 05:19:03,802
B-17 out of control at 3 o'clock.
3698
05:19:04,577 --> 05:19:06,496
Come on you guys, get
out of that plane. Bail out.
3699
05:19:07,080 --> 05:19:08,518
There's one, he come out
of the bomb bay.
3700
05:19:10,469 --> 05:19:11,452
What was that?
What the hell was that?
3701
05:19:13,178 --> 05:19:14,544
It went by like we
were standing still.
3702
05:19:16,206 --> 05:19:17,652
Blue leader to grouping.
Get on the air.
3703
05:19:19,596 --> 05:19:21,561
Going by at 2 o'clock.
What the hell is it?
3704
05:19:23,666 --> 05:19:28,506
It was the Messerschmidt 262, the
world's first operational jet fighter.
3705
05:19:29,326 --> 05:19:33,125
It flies a 150 miles an hour
faster than our fastest fighter.
3706
05:19:37,044 --> 05:19:39,783
On becoming airborne, the
undercarriage was jettisoned,
3707
05:19:40,189 --> 05:19:42,822
and the aircraft demonstrated
an amazing rate of climb.
3708
05:19:54,534 --> 05:19:56,767
Later, Dittmar was towed to altitude
3709
05:19:57,149 --> 05:20:01,132
to conserve fuel when he achieved
623 miles per hour,
3710
05:20:01,677 --> 05:20:03,958
easily breaking the
existing world speed record.
3711
05:20:04,819 --> 05:20:07,451
Hanna Reitsch also test
flew one of the early models,
3712
05:20:08,001 --> 05:20:09,712
from the Messerschmidt
airfield in Lechfeld.
3713
05:20:10,336 --> 05:20:12,088
And she later flew a
more powerful version,
3714
05:20:12,560 --> 05:20:15,498
now named Komet, which
made a great impression on her.
3715
05:20:16,325 --> 05:20:17,378
"And I can only tell you,
3716
05:20:17,657 --> 05:20:20,535
it was like thundering
through the skies
3717
05:20:20,895 --> 05:20:22,567
sitting on a cannonball."
3718
05:21:41,967 --> 05:21:44,217
OPERATION PAPERCLIP
The US hunt for Hirler's scientists
3719
05:21:51,154 --> 05:21:55,247
By mid-June 1945,
1000 ex-Nazi scientists
3720
05:21:55,872 --> 05:21:57,384
from various German weapons
programs
3721
05:21:57,599 --> 05:22:00,912
had been hastily moved to the
safety of the American zone.
3722
05:22:04,452 --> 05:22:07,424
There they could be kept away from
anyone who might prosecute them.
3723
05:22:14,030 --> 05:22:16,847
Russia's leader Joseph Stalin
was outraged.
3724
05:22:17,693 --> 05:22:21,155
"We defeated the Nazis.
We occupied Berlin and Peenemunde.
3725
05:22:21,897 --> 05:22:24,061
But the Americans got
the rocket engineers.
3726
05:22:24,425 --> 05:22:25,574
How could this happen?"
3727
05:22:27,700 --> 05:22:31,113
What's more, over a 100 V-2's
were making their way to America
3728
05:22:31,627 --> 05:22:33,267
under Special Mission V-2.
3729
05:22:34,028 --> 05:22:36,129
The Americans had stolen
the V-2 team
3730
05:22:36,458 --> 05:22:40,039
and much of its equipment
from under the Russians' noses.
3731
05:22:46,933 --> 05:22:48,846
TO THE VICTOR THE SPOILS...
3732
05:22:53,367 --> 05:22:55,705
... AND WITH DEFEAT RETRIBUTION
3733
05:22:59,653 --> 05:23:00,496
Even though the war has ended,
3734
05:23:01,030 --> 05:23:02,582
most of Europe is still a violent
and dangerous place.
3735
05:23:03,069 --> 05:23:04,796
Many will seek revenge on Axis
soldiers, ethnic Germans
3736
05:23:05,250 --> 05:23:06,910
and especially any known
"Nazi" collaborators.
3737
05:23:11,854 --> 05:23:14,243
Central Europe was
reverting to the Dark Ages.
3738
05:23:14,637 --> 05:23:15,531
FRANCE
3739
05:23:16,503 --> 05:23:19,887
This was a space without
law, shelter or mercy.

05:24:21,785 --> 05:24:22,847
CZECHOSLOVAKIA
3741
05:24:42,910 --> 05:24:44,389
In Czechoslovakia German soldiers
are beaten to death
3742
05:24:44,775 --> 05:24:47,065
and their bodies spat on
3743
05:25:14,969 --> 05:25:16,665
To be contiued

Part 23
Adolf Hitler - The Gretest Story NEVER Told!
3745
05:25:29,391 --> 05:25:31,114
Of the Soviet's 7 million World War
Two captives,
3746
05:25:31,619 --> 05:25:32,992
more than half were German.
3747
05:25:33,860 --> 05:25:35,283
In 1953, an article in The Pittsburg
Press admitted
3748
05:25:35,764 --> 05:25:37,349
2.8 million German POWs capures by
the Soviet Union had died,
3749
05:25:37,829 --> 05:25:39,524
and that another 700.000
were in slavery.
3750
05:25:41,213 --> 05:25:42,644
Only around 20.000 German POWs
held in the Soviet Union
3751
05:25:43,092 --> 05:25:44,435
would be repariated to Germany.
3752
05:25:44,971 --> 05:25:46,651
The last survivors were not
relesed until 1955.
3753
05:25:48,984 --> 05:25:50,431
Thus, an esimated 3.480.000
German POWs
3754
05:25:50,928 --> 05:25:52,848
perished whilst in Soviet
captivity.
3755
05:26:05,687 --> 05:26:08,549
11/4 Million German POWs

Heinz Krüger
3759
05:28:32,273 --> 05:28:34,065
Their war was over, but POWs
return to an occupied,
3760
05:28:34,478 --> 05:28:35,962
divided and de-Nazified Germany.
3761
05:28:36,877 --> 05:28:38,753
The Allies had learned their lesson
well after World War One.
3762
05:28:39,185 --> 05:28:40,969
The NSDAP, along with its official
insignia the Swastika,
3763
05:28:41,370 --> 05:28:42,759
had be banned.
3764
05:28:43,524 --> 05:28:44,571
School teachers would be replaced,
3765
05:28:44,645 --> 05:28:46,434
and National Socialist books and
documents burned or taken away.
3766
05:28:46,866 --> 05:28:48,778
Meanwhile, the war trials had served
their intended purpose
3767
05:28:49,190 --> 05:28:50,889
of demonising the NS leadership
and dehumanising the German people.
3768
05:28:51,832 --> 05:28:53,146
This time there was to be
no peace treaty.
3769
05:28:53,555 --> 05:28:55,843
Germany would instead remain occupied,
with the history of World War Two
3770
05:28:55,930 --> 05:28:57,445
to be dictated by the victorious Alien.
3771
05:29:01,457 --> 05:29:03,092
Former Natioal Socialists will be
portrayed as "Evil Nazis"
3772
05:29:03,514 --> 05:29:04,673
with the help of the media,
3773
05:29:05,241 --> 05:29:07,063
future television documentaries
and Hollywood movies.
3774
05:29:09,519 --> 05:29:11,343
In Germany, Adolf Hitler's name is
not to be spoken of.
3775
05:29:11,718 --> 05:29:13,608
I will be instead replaced by those
who still secretly admire the Führer
3776
05:29:14,000 --> 05:29:15,432
with the ironic code word "USA".
3777
05:29:15,870 --> 05:29:17,407
Unser Seeliger Adolf
3778
05:29:18,390 --> 05:29:19,830
This was confirmed by Winifred
Wagner, daugher-in-law
3779
05:29:20,301 --> 05:29:21,973
of German composer Richard Wagner.
3780
05:29:35,612 --> 05:29:38,053
"We old national socialists found
a new pseudonym after the war
3781
05:29:38,354 --> 05:29:39,906
because you couldn't talk about
him in public...
3782
05:29:43,494 --> 05:29:46,430
... if you wanted to talk about him,
we called him USA.
3783
05:29:47,120 --> 05:29:49,530
In German this stands
for "Our Blessed Adolf".
3784
05:31:18,295 --> 05:31:19,845
On 8 May 1945, the High Command of
the German Armed forces,
3785
05:31:20,339 --> 05:31:22,012
General Alfred Jodl, signed a
Deed of Surrender.
3786
05:31:22,513 --> 05:31:23,650
It was not however signed by
3787
05:31:24,094 --> 05:31:26,070
the appointed head of the
Third Reich, Admiral Karl Dönitz.
3788
05:31:27,900 --> 05:31:29,387
Therefore legally, Germany,
as a country
3789
05:31:29,866 --> 05:31:31,619
did not surrender after
World War Two.
3790
05:31:34,986 --> 05:31:36,726
This means that the Federal Republic
of Germany, installed by the Soviets,
3791
05:31:37,231 --> 05:31:39,159
as well as the Democratic Republic
of Germany as estabished by West,
3792
05:31:39,587 --> 05:31:41,200
were both illegal under
international law,
3793
05:31:41,647 --> 05:31:43,543
as each had been constructed
over an existing sovereign State.
3794
05:31:47,009 --> 05:31:48,789
In 1961 after years of tension
between the Soviet Union and West,
3795
05:31:49,307 --> 05:31:51,053
Soviet-controlled Eastern Europe
will close its border,
3796
05:31:51,535 --> 05:31:53,296
inflicting more misery on
the people of Berlin.
3797
05:32:12,728 --> 05:32:14,552
1961 BERLIN
3798
05:32:20,841 --> 05:32:22,680
Freedom to travel to the West
for millions now living
3799
05:32:23,188 --> 05:32:24,889
under Commuist occupation is
forbidden.
3800
05:32:25,538 --> 05:32:27,314
These restrictions and others
become known as the
3801
05:32:27,921 --> 05:32:29,364
"Iron Curtain".
3802
05:32:32,131 --> 05:32:35,020
The pupppet government of East Germany
will build the Berlin Wall,
3803
05:32:35,160 --> 05:32:37,724
subsequently cutting off 19 million
Germans from family and friends.
3804
05:32:43,824 --> 05:32:46,790
Many risk their lives in a desperate
bid to reach West Berlin.
3805
05:35:05,403 --> 05:35:06,881
In 1989, as Communism is collapsing
in Soviet Union,
3806
05:35:07,303 --> 05:35:08,917
many in Eastern Europe will seek
refuge in Western embassies.
3807
05:35:09,764 --> 05:35:11,063
After 28 years of divison,
presure now mount
3808
05:35:11,477 --> 05:35:13,310
on East German authorities
to open their border.
3809
05:35:23,071 --> 05:35:24,284
Astonishing news from East Germany,
3810
05:35:24,706 --> 05:35:26,346
where the East German authorities
have said
3811
05:35:26,446 --> 05:35:28,870
in essence that the Berlin Wall
doesn't mean anything anymore.
3812
05:35:28,989 --> 05:35:29,437
9 NOVEMBER 1989
3813
05:35:29,468 --> 05:35:33,080
The wall that the East Germans
put up in 1961 to keep its people in
3814
05:35:33,519 --> 05:35:35,966
will now be breached by
anybody who wants to leave.
3815
05:35:36,827 --> 05:35:39,186
It is perhaps the most
important announcement made in
3816
05:35:39,679 --> 05:35:42,191
Central Europe since the end
of World War 2 certainly...
3817
05:36:05,618 --> 05:36:08,161
THE GREAT ALLIED
"EAST GERMAN" DECEPTION
3818
05:36:15,696 --> 05:36:17,941
Most outside Germany believe that
the country is once again whole,
3819
05:36:18,366 --> 05:36:19,721
when in fact it was only central
Germany
3820
05:36:20,187 --> 05:36:21,457
that was reunified on
3 Oct 1990.
3821
05:36:22,209 --> 05:36:23,097
The Eastern territories,
3822
05:36:23,567 --> 05:36:25,192
as defined by the Allies at the
Postdam Conference in 1945
3823
05:36:25,679 --> 05:36:27,507
still remain under Polish and
Russian control.
3824
05:36:41,735 --> 05:36:43,622
On 23 May 1949, the Western Allies
ratified a new German constitution
3825
05:36:44,118 --> 05:36:46,015
known as the Basic Law
3826
05:36:49,337 --> 05:36:51,044
However, two days prior,
a secret state treaty
3827
05:36:53,042 --> 05:36:54,216
was also signed.
3828
05:36:54,759 --> 05:36:57,233
It granted complete Allied control
over education and all licensed media
3829
05:36:59,562 --> 05:37:01,112
until the year 2099.
3830
05:37:01,807 --> 05:37:03,415
This was cofirmed by Major-General
Gerd-Helmut Komossa,
3831
05:37:03,871 --> 05:37:05,447
former head of German Millitary
Intelligence in his book
3832
05:37:05,926 --> 05:37:07,743
"Die Deutsche Karte"
3833
05:37:27,583 --> 05:37:29,282
On 19 September 2000, a limited
liability company was formed
3834
05:37:29,680 --> 05:37:31,610
to organise the financial affairs
for the Federal Republic of Germany.
3835
05:37:32,042 --> 05:37:33,058
It was called the:
3836
05:37:33,521 --> 05:37:35,379
"Bundesrepublik Deutschland
Finanzagentur GmbH"
3837
05:37:37,916 --> 05:37:39,380
The German GmbH is an economic
branch of the huge Jewish
3838
05:37:39,836 --> 05:37:40,718
financial conglomerates that incude
3839
05:37:41,134 --> 05:37:43,806
Rothschild, Goldman Sachs
and Federal Reserve.
3840
05:37:44,734 --> 05:37:46,077
These forces of Inernational Jewry
are the very same
3841
05:37:46,542 --> 05:37:48,243
about Adolf Hitler tried to
forewarn the German people.
3842
05:37:50,728 --> 05:37:52,074
All of Germany's gold reserves are
now held
3843
05:37:52,721 --> 05:37:54,545
in the US Federal Reserve Bank
of New York.
3844
05:37:56,802 --> 05:37:58,794
Now as then, the German people find
themselves in the same state of
3845
05:37:59,290 --> 05:38:01,402
economic servitude the Führer
sought to correct.
3846
05:38:29,544 --> 05:38:33,017
THE DECEPTION CONTINUES
3847
05:38:39,951 --> 05:38:41,938
On the 70th anniversary of the
invasion of Poland in 2009,
3848
05:38:42,483 --> 05:38:43,837
German Chancellor Angela Merkel
apologised
3849
05:38:44,529 --> 05:38:46,660
and publicly blamed Germany
alone for starting World War Two.
3850
05:38:49,228 --> 05:38:50,377
"Seventy years ago today,
3851
05:38:53,056 --> 05:38:54,593
with Germany's attack on Poland,
3852
05:38:54,987 --> 05:38:59,080
began the most tragic chapter
in the history of Europe.
3853
05:39:00,808 --> 05:39:02,566
This war instigated by Germany
3854
05:39:03,374 --> 05:39:05,797
brought immeasurable suffering
on many peoples,
3855
05:39:06,603 --> 05:39:10,836
years of disenfranchisement,
humiliation, and destruction.
3856
05:39:12,093 --> 05:39:15,969
I commemorate the many millions of
people who lost their lives in that war,
3857
05:39:16,463 --> 05:39:17,974
and in resistance to Germany.
3858
05:39:18,872 --> 05:39:20,419
I commemorate those 60 million
3859
05:39:20,931 --> 05:39:24,553
who died in this war, instigated
by Germany."
3860
05:39:29,129 --> 05:39:32,361
Was she speaking as the
Chancellor of Germany?
3861
05:39:39,109 --> 05:39:41,177
Or on behalf of a private
non-government Zionist organisation?
3862
05:39:54,935 --> 05:39:56,827
Germany today is still an occupied
country, with 100.000 foreign troops
3863
05:39:57,131 --> 05:39:58,139
stationed on her soil.
3864
05:39:58,555 --> 05:40:00,252
After 68 years there still has
been no peace treaty
3865
05:40:00,661 --> 05:40:01,861
concluded with any of the
Allied powers.

Part 24
Adolf Hitler - The Gretest Story NEVER Told!
3872
05:40:33,308 --> 05:40:34,580
CENTRAL BANK
So, what is a central bank?
3873
05:40:35,898 --> 05:40:39,479
A central bank is an institution that
produces the currency of an entire nation.
3874
05:40:40,382 --> 05:40:41,746
Based on historical precedent,
3875
05:40:42,114 --> 05:40:45,279
two specific powers are inherent
in central banking practice.
3876
05:40:45,966 --> 05:40:47,319
The control of interest rates,
3877
05:40:47,877 --> 05:40:50,163
and the control of the money
supply or inflation.
3878
05:40:51,524 --> 05:40:54,500
The central bank does not simply supply
a government's economy with money,
3879
05:40:54,914 --> 05:40:56,927
it loans it to them at interest!
3880
05:40:58,350 --> 05:41:01,152
Then through the use of increasing
and decreasing the supply of money,
3881
05:41:01,684 --> 05:41:05,427
the central bank regulates the
value of the currency being issued.
3882
05:41:06,763 --> 05:41:09,067
It is critical to understand
the entire structure
3883
05:41:09,626 --> 05:41:14,913
of this system can only produce
one thing in the long run: debt.
3884
05:41:16,065 --> 05:41:18,828
It doesn't take a lot of
ingenuity to figure this scam out.
3885
05:41:19,138 --> 05:41:23,779
For every single dollar produced by
the central bank is loaned at interest.
3886
05:41:24,311 --> 05:41:27,619
That means every single dollar
produced is actually the dollar plus
3887
05:41:28,081 --> 05:41:31,211
a certain percent of
debt based on that dollar.
3888
05:41:31,708 --> 05:41:33,681
And since the central
bank has a monopoly
3889
05:41:34,201 --> 05:41:36,472
of the production of the
currency for the entire country,
3890
05:41:37,296 --> 05:41:41,228
and they loan each dollar out
with immediate debt attached to it,
3891
05:41:42,291 --> 05:41:44,321
where does the money to
pay for the debt come from?
3892
05:41:45,777 --> 05:41:47,351
It can only come from
the central bank again.
3893
05:41:48,155 --> 05:41:51,944
Which means the central bank has to
perpetually increase its money supply
3894
05:41:52,507 --> 05:41:56,062
to temporarily cover the outstanding
debt created, which in turn,
3895
05:41:56,507 --> 05:42:00,687
since that new money is loaned out at
interest as well, creates even more debt.
3896
05:42:01,612 --> 05:42:04,388
The end result of this
system without fail is slavery.
3897
05:42:04,820 --> 05:42:07,531
For it is impossible for the
government, and thus the public,
3898
05:42:07,901 --> 05:42:10,374
to ever come out of the
self-generating debt.
3899
05:42:11,229 --> 05:42:14,168
Now, the control of the economy
and the perpetual robbery of wealth
3900
05:42:14,708 --> 05:42:17,760
is only one side of the Rubik's
cube the bankers hold in their hands.
3901
05:42:18,620 --> 05:42:21,366
The next tool for profit
and control is war.
3902
05:42:22,966 --> 05:42:25,306
It's important to understand
that the most lucrative thing
3903
05:42:25,640 --> 05:42:28,077
that could happen with
international bankers is war,
3904
05:42:28,451 --> 05:42:30,727
for it forces the country to
borrow even more money
3905
05:42:31,147 --> 05:42:34,699
from the Federal Reserve Bank
at interest... at interest... at interest...
3906
05:42:40,657 --> 05:42:44,705
HITLER'S ECONOMIC MIRACLE
The real reason for World War Two?
3907
05:42:49,374 --> 05:42:50,261
"Germany is too strong.
3908
05:42:50,702 --> 05:42:52,736
We must destroy her."
- Winston Churchill Nov 1936
3909
05:43:00,404 --> 05:43:02,292
When Hitler came to power, Germany
was hopelessly bankrupt.
3910
05:43:02,845 --> 05:43:05,083
For years, the Allies had demanded
crushing reparation payments,
3911
05:43:05,593 --> 05:43:07,791
and private currecy speculators
would now cause
3912
05:43:08,256 --> 05:43:09,584
the German Mark to plummet.
3913
05:43:10,021 --> 05:43:11,301
It was a total destruction of
national curency
3914
05:43:11,780 --> 05:43:12,875
and wiped out savings and
businesses,
3915
05:43:13,361 --> 05:43:15,185
leaving ordinary Germans
to starve.
3916
05:43:17,560 --> 05:43:18,765
Hitler devised a national credit
program
3917
05:43:19,356 --> 05:43:20,782
which included the construction
of new roads,
3918
05:43:21,309 --> 05:43:22,779
bridges, canals and port facilities.
3919
05:43:24,193 --> 05:43:26,653
Jews at this point were removed
from prominent financial positions
3920
05:43:27,110 --> 05:43:28,863
and instead of borrowing from
the banks at interest,
3921
05:43:29,391 --> 05:43:31,502
the government issued bills of
exchange called...
3922
05:43:32,063 --> 05:43:33,549
Labour Treasury Certificates.
3923
05:43:36,990 --> 05:43:38,793
This issuance of currency was backed
by the productivity
3924
05:43:39,242 --> 05:43:40,881
and economic of Germany's
labour force,
3925
05:43:41,306 --> 05:43:43,353
and it came on the authority -
not of some privately-owned central bank-
3926
05:43:43,793 --> 05:43:45,970
but that of the National Socialist
government itself.
3927
05:43:48,144 --> 05:43:49,677
Germany even succeeded in exporting
goods
3928
05:43:50,093 --> 05:43:51,885
abroad despite the 1933 international
Jewish boycott,
3929
05:43:52,349 --> 05:43:55,650
using a barter system that again
cut out the banks competely.
3930
05:44:14,571 --> 05:44:16,622
As a result, Germany - despite
the worldwide depression - became
3931
05:44:17,044 --> 05:44:19,160
the most powerful and prosperous
state in Europe in only 5 years.
3932
05:44:23,578 --> 05:44:26,240
According to the 1978 book
"Which Way Western Man?"
3933
05:44:26,822 --> 05:44:28,412
by
William Gayey Simpson
3934
05:44:31,291 --> 05:44:33,079
"The German peasant, who had been
on the verge of utter ruin,
3935
05:44:33,579 --> 05:44:36,226
was given an honored status as the
source of the nation's food supply,
3936
05:44:36,730 --> 05:44:38,936
his land was released from the
grip of the Jewish usurer and measures
3937
05:44:39,419 --> 05:44:42,138
taken to ensure that it should,
3938
05:44:42,139 --> 05:44:43,139
remain permanently in the possession
of one family,
3939
05:44:43,239 --> 05:44:44,323
handed down from father to son."
3940
05:45:33,686 --> 05:45:35,377
"If Hitler had not come
to Germany in 1933?
3941
05:45:37,432 --> 05:45:41,239
Germany had 270.000
suicides the year before.
3942
05:45:41,830 --> 05:45:42,809
Germany was, in Berlin,
3943
05:45:43,459 --> 05:45:46,958
the sin capital of the world,
thanks to largely Jewish entrepreneurs,
3944
05:45:47,381 --> 05:45:51,702
who ran the smut films
and the cabarets and so on.
3945
05:45:52,049 --> 05:45:54,414
Germany was
dope capital for Europe.
3946
05:45:54,895 --> 05:45:57,055
German industry was virtually dead.
3947
05:45:58,072 --> 05:46:00,171
Without Adolf Hitler, Germany would
have
3948
05:46:00,731 --> 05:46:04,230
died with a whimper in 1934
or 1935.
3949
05:46:04,543 --> 05:46:07,095
Adolf Hitler saved Germany.
3950
05:46:07,623 --> 05:46:12,688
At least he gave the Germans 12
years of liberation and freedom...
3951
05:46:13,149 --> 05:46:17,931
liberation and freedom... liberation
and freedom... liberation and freedom..."
3952
05:46:32,298 --> 05:46:33,458
MEDIA VENGEANCE
3953
05:46:33,881 --> 05:46:35,794
With the Hollywood movie industry
and majority of US television networks,
3954
05:46:36,266 --> 05:46:37,899
newspapers and publishing houses
Jewish-owned,
3955
05:46:38,401 --> 05:46:39,833
for nearly 70 years the demonization
of Adolf Hitler
3956
05:46:40,273 --> 05:46:41,601
has been almost relentless.
3957
05:46:54,737 --> 05:46:56,167
HITLER
The rise of evil
3958
05:47:00,438 --> 05:47:01,464
You made a fool out of me!
3959
05:47:01,886 --> 05:47:03,956
Tried to humiliate me!
3960
05:47:04,936 --> 05:47:06,796
You must learn to sit down!
3961
05:47:07,355 --> 05:47:08,427
Learn to...
- That's enough.
3962
05:47:50,278 --> 05:47:51,350
Schindler's List
3963
05:47:51,554 --> 05:47:55,198
First of all, the film is
based upon this book,
3964
05:47:55,795 --> 05:48:02,326
Schindler's List, which won the
L.A. Times book award for FICTION.
3965
05:48:08,116 --> 05:48:13,007
Here we have a film that's being
shown to our schoolchildren as truth,
3966
05:48:13,615 --> 05:48:16,702
when it's based on the book
that says this is a work of fiction.
3967
05:48:17,086 --> 05:48:18,284
In other words, it's not true.
3968
05:48:19,659 --> 05:48:22,682
"Names, characers, places and
incidents
3969
05:48:23,146 --> 05:48:27,287
are either product of the author's
imaginaion
3970
05:48:27,589 --> 05:48:29,063
or are used ficiously".
3971
05:48:35,781 --> 05:48:38,659
THESE SCENES ARE BASED ON
A BOOK OF FICTION
3972
05:49:26,478 --> 05:49:29,453
WHAT IF GERMANY HAD WON?

05:50:37,700 --> 05:50:39,316
"It's in our strategic interest."
3975
05:50:41,292 --> 05:50:42,506
"It has gotten so bad
3976
05:50:42,874 --> 05:50:44,327
in this sick world we
live in,
3977
05:50:44,639 --> 05:50:46,495
that now some leaders
of nations are
3978
05:50:46,903 --> 05:50:51,943
openly promoting genocide
of the European people.
3979
05:50:52,959 --> 05:50:54,381
Sarkozy went on to say that...
3980
05:51:11,354 --> 05:51:13,303
"I think there's a resurgence
of anti-Semitism
3981
05:51:13,623 --> 05:51:15,485
because at this point in time
3982
05:51:15,851 --> 05:51:18,514
Europe has not yet learned
how to be multicultural.
3983
05:51:18,973 --> 05:51:21,284
And I think we are going to
be part of the throes of that...
3984
05:51:21,669 --> 05:51:24,429
of that transformation
which must take place.
3985
05:51:24,845 --> 05:51:27,028
Europe is not going to be the
monolithic
3986
05:51:29,077 --> 05:51:31,251
societies that they once were in
the last century.
3987
05:51:31,602 --> 05:51:33,178
Jews are going to be
at the center of that.
3988
05:51:33,554 --> 05:51:35,873
It's a huge transformation
for Europe to make.
3989
05:51:36,528 --> 05:51:38,683
They are now going
into a multicultural mode.
3990
05:51:39,271 --> 05:51:41,743
And Jews will be resented
because of our leading role.
3991
05:51:42,207 --> 05:51:43,660
But without that leading role,
3992
05:51:44,038 --> 05:51:46,527
and without that transformation,
Europe will not survive.
3993
05:51:49,638 --> 05:51:52,031
jewish world
"Isamization of Europe a good thing"
3994
05:51:57,950 --> 05:51:59,167
"It's nature to want to be
with your own."

Muhammad Ali
3996
05:52:02,639 --> 05:52:05,063
And I'm sure no intelligent
white person watching this show,
3997
05:52:05,782 --> 05:52:09,803
or no intelligent white man
in his or her right white mind,
3998
05:52:10,441 --> 05:52:13,607
want black boys and black girls
marrying their white sons and daughters,
3999
05:52:14,169 --> 05:52:17,006
and in return introducing their
grandchildren as half brown
4000
05:52:17,630 --> 05:52:18,685
kinky haired black people.
4001
05:52:19,053 --> 05:52:19,872
I wouldn't...
- And I am sure...
4002
05:52:20,415 --> 05:52:21,085
I wouldn't object to that.
4003
05:52:21,397 --> 05:52:22,584
Well you wouldn't but
a lot of them would.
4004
05:52:22,792 --> 05:52:24,462
Well, I will tell you you're
sad... that it's... it is sad
4005
05:52:24,532 --> 05:52:25,923
It ain't sad cause I want
my child to look like me.
4006
05:52:26,260 --> 05:52:28,084
Every intelligent person
wants his child to look like him.
4007
05:52:28,611 --> 05:52:31,849
I'm sad because I want to blot out my
race and lose my beautiful identity?
4008
05:52:32,178 --> 05:52:32,905
You can do what you want!
4009
05:52:33,068 --> 05:52:34,997
But it's nature to want
to be with your own.
4010
05:52:35,985 --> 05:52:36,925
I want to be with my own...
4011
05:52:42,674 --> 05:52:45,738
UTOPIA LOST?
4012
05:53:38,102 --> 05:53:39,785

Part 25
Adolf Hitler - The Gretest Story NEVER Told!
4016
05:55:28,646 --> 05:55:31,104
General Otto Ernst Remer - in Conversation
with Adolf Hitler
4017
05:55:36,937 --> 05:55:39,177
In 1944, General Otto Ernst Remer
4018
05:55:39,696 --> 05:55:41,497
commander in charge of the defence
of the Wolfsschanze
4019
05:55:42,159 --> 05:55:44,437
aseked the Führer if he could have
waited before invading Poland?
4020
05:55:45,134 --> 05:55:46,311
Hitler replied:
4021
05:55:46,913 --> 05:55:47,850
"You are mistaken.
4022
05:55:48,384 --> 05:55:50,216
I knew as early as March 1939
that Roosevelt had determined
4023
05:55:50,744 --> 05:55:53,609
to bring about a world war, and I knew
that British were cooperating in this,
4024
05:55:54,127 --> 05:55:55,487
and Churchill was involved.
4025
05:55:56,226 --> 05:55:58,554
God knows that I certainly did not want
a world war.
4026
05:55:59,128 --> 05:56:01,212
That's why I sought to solve the
Polish problem in my own way
4027
05:56:02,104 --> 05:56:04,457
with a kind of punishment expedition,
without a deklaration of war.
4028
05:56:05,688 --> 05:56:07,825
After all, there had been thousend
of murders of ethnic Germans
4029
05:56:08,660 --> 05:56:10,581
and 1.2 million ethnic German refugees.
4030
05:56:11,317 --> 05:56:12,588
What should I have done?
4031
05:56:13,419 --> 05:56:15,561
I had to act. And for that reason,
4032
05:56:16,145 --> 05:56:18,167
four weeks after this campain,
I made the most generous offer
4033
05:56:18,694 --> 05:56:21,213
of peace that any victorious leader
could ever have made.
4034
05:56:22,461 --> 05:56:24,211
Unfortunately, it wasn't successful...
4035
05:56:27,095 --> 05:56:28,974
If I had ot acted as I did with regard
to the Polish question,
4036
05:56:29,790 --> 05:56:32,079
to prevent a second world war,
by the end of 1942 at latest
4037
05:56:32,916 --> 05:56:35,588
we would have experiecing what
we are now experieced in 1944."
4038
05:56:55,290 --> 05:56:56,576
WE DEFEATED THE WRONG ENEMY
4039
05:57:14,609 --> 05:57:16,676
After the war, General George S. Patton,
commander of the US Third Army,
4040
05:57:17,248 --> 05:57:20,124
openly admitted that the Allies had
fought the wrong people.
4041
05:57:21,509 --> 05:57:22,676
He said about Soviets:
4042
05:57:24,328 --> 05:57:26,567
"Let's not give them time to build up
their supplies.
4043
05:57:27,312 --> 05:57:30,079
If we do, then... we have had a victory
over the Germans, and disarmed them,
4044
05:57:30,608 --> 05:57:33,490
but we have failed in the liberation
of Europe; we have lost the war!"
4045
05:57:34,463 --> 05:57:35,800
He wrote to is wife:
4046
05:57:36,694 --> 05:57:38,702
"If we have to fight them,
now is the time.
4047
05:57:39,694 --> 05:57:41,600
From now on we will get weaker
and they stronger."
4048
05:57:56,586 --> 05:57:59,607
The media would now begin a campaign
to discredit General Patton.
4049
05:58:00,438 --> 05:58:01,988
Patton, on 22 September 1945:
4050
05:58:02,801 --> 05:58:04,634
"There is a very apparent Semitic
influence in the press.
4051
05:58:05,305 --> 05:58:07,797
They are traying to do two things:
first, implement Communism.
4052
05:58:08,419 --> 05:58:10,320
And second, see that all businessmen
of German ancestry
4053
05:58:10,855 --> 05:58:12,483
an non-Jewish entcendents are
thrown out of their jobs...
4054
05:58:12,997 --> 05:58:14,933
... in my opinion and most
nonpolitical officers,
4055
05:58:15,557 --> 05:58:17,477
it is vitally necessary for us
to build Germany up now
4056
05:58:18,140 --> 05:58:19,779
as a buffer state against Russia.
4057
05:58:20,296 --> 05:58:21,822
In fact, I am afraid we have waited
too long."
4058
05:58:22,574 --> 05:58:24,625
And in a letter later that night
to his wife:
4059
05:58:25,553 --> 05:58:27,823
"I can't tell them the truth that unless
we restore Germany
4060
05:58:28,447 --> 05:58:30,399
we will ensure that Communism
takes America."
4061
05:58:39,960 --> 05:58:41,867
George S. Patton Jnr. died in a
Heidelberg,
4062
05:58:42,444 --> 05:58:44,507
Germany hospital 21 December 1945,
4063
05:58:45,057 --> 05:58:47,866
do to complications from a broeken neck
he sustained eleven days earlier
4064
05:58:48,530 --> 05:58:50,095
in a minor automobile accident.
4065
05:58:50,929 --> 05:58:53,390
No official report was made of the incident,
and there was to be no autopsy.
4066
05:58:54,318 --> 05:58:56,678
The postmortem findings remain
classified to this day.
4067
05:59:11,699 --> 05:59:14,068
Patton's prophetic warnings
ultimately went unheeded.
4068
05:59:31,745 --> 05:59:34,054
General George S. Patton
1885- 1945
4069
05:59:44,660 --> 05:59:46,972
WE FOUGHT TO SAVE EUROPE
4070
05:59:52,861 --> 05:59:56,061
A group of German Wor War Two
veterans explain to a Dutch journalist
4071
05:59:56,729 --> 05:59:58,905
how they fought to save from te wrath
of the Bolsheviks
4072
05:59:59,425 --> 06:00:01,337
not only Germany, but all of Europe.
4073
06:00:07,242 --> 06:00:10,539
We didn't fight againt you.
- Just against the Russians?
4074
06:00:11,442 --> 06:00:16,446
To be exact, not against the Russians,
but against bolshevism.
4075
06:00:17,862 --> 06:00:22,902
They were people like you and I.
- Against Stalinist bolshevism.
4076
06:00:23,590 --> 06:00:29,022
We defended our country against it,
and more importantly, all of Europe.
4077
06:00:30,110 --> 06:00:35,964
If we hadn't stopped it, it would have
reached your country and France too.
4078
06:00:37,095 --> 06:00:39,591
Right up to the Channel.
Tht was their plan.
4079
06:00:40,064 --> 06:00:43,311
We also had to fight the Americans
when they landed...
4080
06:00:43,825 --> 06:00:46,407
in France, Italy and Africa.
4081
06:00:47,416 --> 06:00:52,623
In the end the Russians sometimes
outnumbred us by twelwe to one.
4082
06:00:53,592 --> 06:00:57,399
And we still tried to keep them away
from the borders of the Reich.
4083
06:01:00,190 --> 06:01:01,673
To defend our people.
4084
06:01:12,311 --> 06:01:15,657
The French Charlemagne SS were the last
defenders of Hitler's bunker, fighting until
4085
06:01:16,402 --> 06:01:18,798
2 May to prevent the Bolscheviks from
capturing it on May Day.
4086
06:01:19,828 --> 06:01:22,417
Reduced from over 7.000 to approximately
30 able men, most of those who made it
4087
06:01:23,056 --> 06:01:25,242
back to France were denounced and
sent to Allied prison camps.
4088
06:01:26,458 --> 06:01:29,437
French General Philippe Leclerc was presented
with a defiant group of 12 captured
4089
06:01:30,036 --> 06:01:31,677
Charlemagne SS men.
4090
06:01:33,506 --> 06:01:35,946
The General immediatrely asked them
way they wore a German uniform,
4091
06:01:36,569 --> 06:01:39,341
to which one of them replied by asking
the General way he wore an American one?
4092
06:01:41,907 --> 06:01:44,657
The 12 French Charlemagne SS men were
later executed without any form of
4093
06:01:45,335 --> 06:01:47,031
due process.
4094
06:02:11,655 --> 06:02:14,023
Henri Joseph Fenet, one of the last
recipiens of the Knight's Cross,
4095
06:02:14,566 --> 06:02:16,521
was sentenced to 20 years hard labour.
4096
06:02:17,009 --> 06:02:17,710
He was released in 1959.
4097
06:02:19,297 --> 06:02:22,070
We didn't think of death at all.
4098
06:02:23,311 --> 06:02:24,575
Henry Frenet, French volonteer
4099
06:02:24,885 --> 06:02:26,042
Not at all.
4100
06:02:26,491 --> 06:02:29,058
Only on fighting, keeping on fighting.
4101
06:02:35,337 --> 06:02:38,476
We lived and fought only to fight.
4102
06:02:44,443 --> 06:02:45,564
Loyal to the end.
4103
06:02:50,427 --> 06:02:52,019
Loyal to the end.
4104
06:03:00,779 --> 06:03:04,818
More French soldiers died fighting
for Germany than for France aiding Communism.
4105
06:03:05,395 --> 06:03:07,962
Many more volunters travelled from
around the world to stand
4106
06:03:08,531 --> 06:03:09,803
alongside the Germans in the
defence of Europe.
4107
06:03:10,307 --> 06:03:12,545
Those captured faced either execution,
enslavement or imprisonment.
4108
06:03:13,193 --> 06:03:15,322
Some would starveand die alongside
the Germans in Eisenhower's death camps.
4109
06:03:16,121 --> 06:03:18,809
Volunteers from the following countries
would fight for the Third Reich:

UNITED KINGDOM

4126
06:04:03,122 --> 06:04:04,739
"Now, I have only one regret...
4127
06:04:07,136 --> 06:04:09,744
... I wished an earlier involvement"
Henri Joseph Fenet
4128
06:04:15,963 --> 06:04:18,009
The Freikorps Oberland was a unit in
the early years of Weimar Republic,
4129
06:04:18,601 --> 06:04:20,735
known for their street battles against
Communist and Polish insurgens.
4130
06:04:22,126 --> 06:04:24,129
Fridolin von Spaun, the last living
member, describes meeting
4131
06:04:24,945 --> 06:04:26,550
Adolf Hitler for the first time.
4132
06:04:36,637 --> 06:04:39,170
He was indeed observing me.
4133
06:04:43,082 --> 06:04:47,402
And that was one of the most
curious moment of my life.
4134
06:04:48,873 --> 06:04:52,410
I had the feeling that he was
searching somehow-
4135
06:04:53,201 --> 06:04:56,865
the gaze which at first rested
competely on me
4136
06:04:57,409 --> 06:05:04,421
suddenly went straight through me
and into an unknown distance.
4137
06:05:05,965 --> 06:05:08,223
It was so strange.
4138
06:05:14,585 --> 06:05:18,260
And the long gaze which
he had given me
4139
06:05:19,131 --> 06:05:21,688
convinced me completely
4140
06:05:23,066 --> 06:05:26,568
that he was a man of
honourable intentions.
4141
06:05:28,160 --> 06:05:31,210
I can only say I am glad
4142
06:05:31,553 --> 06:05:38,543
that I saw Hitler's most
beautiful side.
4143
06:05:40,687 --> 06:05:42,743
Surely there must have been
dark sides,
4144
06:05:45,293 --> 06:05:48,193
but I saw his wonderful side.
4145
06:05:49,288 --> 06:05:51,389
And nobody can take that
away from me.
4146
06:06:04,059 --> 06:06:06,717
"Lord God, give us the strength that we
may retain our liberty for our children
4147
06:06:07,341 --> 06:06:09,531
and our children's children, not only
for ourselves, but also
4148
06:06:10,084 --> 06:06:12,486
for the other peoples opf Europe,
for thi is a war which we all wage,
4149
06:06:13,015 --> 06:06:15,552
this time, not for our German people alone,
it is a war for all of Europe and with it
4150
06:06:16,133 --> 06:06:19,314
in the long run, for all of
mankind."... Adolf Hitler 1942
4151
06:06:33,538 --> 06:06:35,698
THE END
4152
06:06:47,170 --> 06:06:49,334
The consequences of Germany's defeat
are still being felt today.
4153
06:06:50,008 --> 06:06:51,815
In the decades since the end
of World War Two,
4154
06:06:52,479 --> 06:06:54,830
the German birth rate has fallen below
the repacement level.
4155
06:06:55,534 --> 06:06:57,716
Millions of racially and culturally alien
migrants have been welcomed as settlers
4156
06:06:58,371 --> 06:06:59,331
in Germany.
4157
06:06:59,923 --> 06:07:01,996
The number of children of mixed ethnicity
has sharply increased.
4158
06:07:02,829 --> 06:07:04,807
As a result, the ethnic and cultural
character of much of the country
4159
06:07:05,328 --> 06:07:06,778
has been drastically altered.
4160
06:07:07,441 --> 06:07:08,991
Germany remains occupied.
4161
06:07:24,696 --> 06:07:25,959
Joseph Stalin
4162
06:07:26,471 --> 06:07:28,257
Real name:
Josif Vissarionovich Dzhgashvili
4163
06:07:29,366 --> 06:07:31,188
Died 5 March 1953, aged 74.
4164
06:07:32,077 --> 06:07:33,826
Stalin had collapsed amids rumours
he had been poisoned.
4165
06:07:35,298 --> 06:07:37,529
After the fall of Communism, document
No. 103202/06, signed by
4166
06:07:38,215 --> 06:07:40,268
Soviet Chief of Staff Kirill Mereskov on
18 September, 1940
4167
06:07:40,938 --> 06:07:42,908
revealed that Stalin was preparing
to invade western Europe on
4168
06:07:43,430 --> 06:07:44,729
10 July, 1941
4169
06:07:45,298 --> 06:07:46,889
in a massive military offensive
operation code-named
4170
06:07:47,616 --> 06:07:49,206
OPERATION THUNDER
4171
06:07:50,269 --> 06:07:52,332
Germany had invaded the Soviet Union
to only 3 weeks to spare.
4172
06:08:01,968 --> 06:08:02,954
Franklin D. Roosevelt
4173
06:08:03,547 --> 06:08:05,556
Died April 12, 1945 aged 63
from a brain hemorrhage.
4174
06:08:07,411 --> 06:08:09,490
Despite funding one of history's most
murderous regimes,
4175
06:08:10,083 --> 06:08:12,097
and despite his knowledge that US
had broken Japanese code
4176
06:08:12,724 --> 06:08:14,673
prior to the strike on Pearl Harbor,
FDR remains one of
4177
06:08:15,225 --> 06:08:17,032
America's most popular president.
4178
06:08:24,154 --> 06:08:25,084
Winston Churchill
4179
06:08:25,593 --> 06:08:27,752
Died 24 January 1965, aged 90 after
suffering a stroke.
4180
06:08:29,406 --> 06:08:31,113
Although he is regarded as Britain's
greatest statesman,
4181
06:08:31,665 --> 06:08:34,479
Winston Churchill has never been forgiven
by the Welsh for sending the British Army
4182
06:08:35,039 --> 06:08:36,688
to break up the 1910 Miners'
strike in South Wales.
4183
06:08:37,225 --> 06:08:39,442
The result was the death of two miners
and a bayonet charge on an unarmed crowd.
4184
06:08:39,943 --> 06:08:42,601
In 1965, the Welsh Valleys celebrated
upon hearing of Churchill's death.
4185
06:08:51,896 --> 06:08:53,072
Harry S. Truman
4186
06:08:53,855 --> 06:08:55,800
Died on 26 December 1972, aged 88
after a complexity of organ failures.
4187
06:08:56,902 --> 06:08:58,741
He will be remembered most for
ending the worst war in history
4188
06:08:59,436 --> 06:09:01,044
by the heinous act of dropping
the atomic bomb
4189
06:09:01,667 --> 06:09:03,569
on civilian targets without
warning... twice.
4190
06:09:10,946 --> 06:09:13,481
According to official reports and
eyewitness testimonies:
4191
06:09:15,914 --> 06:09:17,274
Adolf Hitler
4192
06:09:18,033 --> 06:09:20,482
Died 30 April 1945, aged 56,
defending his beloved Germany.
4193
06:09:24,640 --> 06:09:27,080
"Adolf Hitler, son of the Catholic Church,
died while defending Christianity.
4194
06:09:27,752 --> 06:09:29,799
It is therefore understandable that
words cannot be found
4195
06:09:30,392 --> 06:09:33,294
to lament over his death, when so
many were found to exalt his life.
4196
06:09:34,054 --> 06:09:36,223
Over his mortal remains stands his
victorious figure.
4197
06:09:36,958 --> 06:09:39,078
With the palm of the martyr, God
gives Hitler the laurels of Victory."
4198
06:09:40,413 --> 06:09:42,369
Francisco Franco
Head of Spain
4199
06:09:42,847 --> 06:09:44,166
3 May 1945
4200
06:09:58,229 --> 06:10:00,030
"It is necessary that I should die
for my people;
4201
06:10:00,733 --> 06:10:03,810
but my spirit will rise from the grave
and the world will knowthat I was right."
4202
06:10:04,507 --> 06:10:06,131
Adolf Hitler 1945
4203
06:10:16,299 --> 06:10:19,193
In memory of the many thousands
massacred at Bleiburg...
4204
06:10:23,410 --> 06:10:26,101
... and the millions who fought
for a better world.
4205
06:10:37,111 --> 06:10:38,892
Since the making of this documentary,
in 2012 the headstone overlooking
4206
06:10:39,370 --> 06:10:41,698
the grave of Adolf Hitlers's parents
Alois and Klara was removed.
4207
06:10:55,059 --> 06:10:58,557
No one knows what it's like
4208
06:10:58,657 --> 06:11:01,855
To be the bad man
4209
06:11:02,355 --> 06:11:05,653
To be the sad man
4210
06:11:06,652 --> 06:11:09,950
Behind blue eyes
4211
06:11:10,950 --> 06:11:12,949
No one knows
4212
06:11:13,049 --> 06:11:17,846
What it's like to be hated
4213
06:11:18,845 --> 06:11:26,291
To be faded to telling only lies
4214
06:11:26,391 --> 06:11:33,837
But my dreams they aren't as empty
4215
06:11:33,937 --> 06:11:41,332
As my conscious seems to be
4216
06:11:42,332 --> 06:11:49,827
I have hours, only lonely
4217
06:11:49,927 --> 06:11:53,575
My love is vengeance
4218
06:11:53,675 --> 06:11:57,323
That's never free
4219
06:12:03,020 --> 06:12:06,218
No one knows what it's like
4220
06:12:06,318 --> 06:12:09,916
To feel these feelings
4221
06:12:10,016 --> 06:12:17,411
Like I do, and I blame you!
4222
06:12:19,210 --> 06:12:22,508
No one bites back as hard
4223
06:12:22,608 --> 06:12:26,006
On their anger
4224
06:12:26,106 --> 06:12:29,404
None of my pain woe
4225
06:12:29,504 --> 06:12:32,803
Can show through
4226
06:12:34,102 --> 06:12:41,298
But my dreams they aren't as empty
4227
06:12:42,397 --> 06:12:48,294
As my conscious seems to be
4228
06:12:50,093 --> 06:12:57,288
I have hours, only lonely
4229
06:12:57,788 --> 06:13:01,286
My love is vengeance
4230
06:13:01,786 --> 06:13:05,184
That's never free
4231
06:14:35,732 --> 06:14:39,130
No one knows what it's like
4232
06:14:39,230 --> 06:14:43,277
To be the bad man
4233
06:14:43,377 --> 06:14:46,900
To be the sad man
4234
06:14:47,000 --> 06:14:50,523
Behind blue eyes
4235
06:14:53,421 --> 06:14:55,320
No one knows
4236
06:14:55,420 --> 06:15:00,397
What it's like to feel these feelings
4237
06:15:00,497 --> 06:15:07,313
Like I do, and I blame you!
4238
06:15:07,713 --> 06:15:11,911
But my dreams
4239
06:15:12,011 --> 06:15:15,009
They aren't as empty
4240
06:15:15,608 --> 06:15:22,704
As my conscience seems to be
4241
06:15:23,704 --> 06:15:30,700
I have hours, only lonely
4242
06:15:31,599 --> 06:15:34,598
My love is vengeance
4243
06:15:35,497 --> 06:15:38,995
That's never free
4244
06:16:46,816 --> 06:16:48,270
Without the miracle of the internet
4245
06:16:48,798 --> 06:16:50,140
this documentary could not
have been possible.
4246
06:17:08,998 --> 06:17:10,318
... And the women was arrayed in
purple and scarlet colour,
4247
06:17:10,774 --> 06:17:12,294
and decked with gold and precious
stones and pearls,
4248
06:17:12,683 --> 06:17:13,826
having a golden cup in fer hand
4249
06:17:14,339 --> 06:17:15,710
full of abominations and filthiness
of her fornication:
4250
06:17:16,109 --> 06:17:18,070
And upon her forehead was a name
written, Mystery, Babylon The Great,
4251
06:17:18,517 --> 06:17:19,885
The Mother Of Hurlots
And Abominations Of The Earth.
4252
06:17:20,381 --> 06:17:21,875
Book of Revelation
Chapter 17
4253
06:17:31,668 --> 06:17:33,152
During the1920's, Berlin became known
as the cesspit of Europe,
4254
06:17:33,662 --> 06:17:35,102
a city where any and every depraved
sexual acivity
4255
06:17:35,510 --> 06:17:36,820
could be had at a price.
4256
06:17:37,256 --> 06:17:39,118
With drugs, prostitution, peadophilia
and homosexuality
4257
06:17:39,581 --> 06:17:41,052
and even bestiaity rampant, it was
a place dangerous and unfit
4258
06:17:41,539 --> 06:17:43,003
for any self-respecting German
family to reside.
4259
06:17:43,551 --> 06:17:45,782
Against all odds, in 1933 one man
would drive the "Whore of Babyon" from Berlin
4260
06:17:46,215 --> 06:17:48,551
and out of Germany, restoring
family morals once again.
4261
06:18:00,526 --> 06:18:02,124
BABYLON BEFORE HITLER
4262
06:18:11,611 --> 06:18:15,470
After the armistice, the guns
went silent across Europe,
4263
06:18:15,570 --> 06:18:19,429
but not in Berlin, where
Germans were fighting Germans.
4264
06:18:20,310 --> 06:18:23,690
News of the loss by the Fatherland,
had come as a shock to Berliners,
4265
06:18:24,188 --> 06:18:26,136
and now the old order was gone.
4266
06:18:27,109 --> 06:18:29,200
In its place came chaos.
4267
06:18:31,509 --> 06:18:34,865
The streets of what was once
a quiet conservative town,
4268
06:18:35,314 --> 06:18:36,953
became free fire zones.
4269
06:18:37,908 --> 06:18:39,551
The Nationalists in the extreme right,
4270
06:18:39,904 --> 06:18:42,540
battling it out with the Communists
of the extreme left.
4271
06:18:43,164 --> 06:18:44,086
And out of this struggle,
4272
06:18:44,666 --> 06:18:48,910
emerged a new democratic state,
the Weimar Republic.
4273
06:18:53,534 --> 06:18:56,188
In the 20th century,
after the First World War,
4274
06:18:56,923 --> 06:19:00,419
the world's great metropolis
of vice was Berlin.
4275
06:19:04,859 --> 06:19:08,714
Berlin in the 1920s was
the sex capital of Europe.
4276
06:19:22,204 --> 06:19:25,048
If you knew what to look for
you could find anything,
4277
06:19:25,395 --> 06:19:27,090
anything known to man
David Clay Large - Author
4278
06:19:27,648 --> 06:19:30,960
in the sexual world was
available on the streets of Berlin.
4279
06:19:32,694 --> 06:19:33,754
On any given night,
4280
06:19:34,258 --> 06:19:37,599
as many as a 100.000 prostitutes
walked the streets,
4281
06:19:38,040 --> 06:19:40,175
or worked the sex
clubs across the city.
4282
06:19:41,318 --> 06:19:44,191
There were all different whores
with, um...
4283
06:19:44,512 --> 06:19:45,974
different kinds of make-up
on the street.
4284
06:19:46,591 --> 06:19:48,139
For instance, one
was called "Munzi".
4285
06:19:49,126 --> 06:19:53,669
Munzis, who were prostitutes who hung
out on just one street, munzstrasse,
4286
06:19:54,196 --> 06:19:55,821
and these were
pregnant prostitutes.
4287
06:19:56,601 --> 06:19:58,389
There were prostitutes who looked
horrible,
4288
06:19:58,821 --> 06:20:02,234
who had massive scared faces
or hunched backs or
4289
06:20:02,587 --> 06:20:06,594
were lame or crippled, these
were called "grasshoppers".
4290
06:20:09,307 --> 06:20:12,778
You had mother and daughter teams
on one street, that dressed exactly alike.
4291
06:20:16,177 --> 06:20:16,909
Here in Berlin,
4292
06:20:17,493 --> 06:20:20,570
sex for sale offered every
sort of perversion
4293
06:20:21,018 --> 06:20:22,649
or fetishism imaginable.
4294
06:20:23,264 --> 06:20:24,827
There was not a sexual appetite
4295
06:20:25,298 --> 06:20:27,754
that could not be satisfied;
in the city.
4296
06:20:30,813 --> 06:20:35,860
There were clubs where lesbians
liked to whip school boys
4297
06:20:36,780 --> 06:20:41,436
and you'd find military officers sitting
there with children sitting on their laps.
4298
06:20:42,745 --> 06:20:44,405
So a lot of it was play acting.
Ean Wood - Author
4299
06:20:44,971 --> 06:20:48,170
But there were quite a lot of people
who also indulged in it.
4300
06:20:49,443 --> 06:20:53,637
Berlin in the 1920s was
the sex capital of Europe.
4301
06:20:54,849 --> 06:20:58,018
Its very name became synonymous
with perversion,
4302
06:20:58,466 --> 06:21:01,202
debauchery, and creativity.
4303
06:21:01,302 --> 06:21:05,171
Places that you hadn't noticed
would turn into outrageous strip clubs.
4304
06:21:05,885 --> 06:21:07,263
The basements of the restaurants
4305
06:21:07,571 --> 06:21:11,822
would be homosexual or lesbian
romper rooms and sex clubs.
4306
06:21:12,793 --> 06:21:14,983
Every intellectual was Leftish.
4307
06:21:15,774 --> 06:21:20,500
The whole political right wing,
which basically came from Munich,
4308
06:21:20,960 --> 06:21:22,984
did not play any
roll in the beginning.
4309
06:21:23,470 --> 06:21:26,728
The whole town was in
the hands of Leftist ideas.
4310
06:21:27,918 --> 06:21:29,184
But outside Berlin,
4311
06:21:29,926 --> 06:21:31,719
the right wing Nationalist movement
4312
06:21:31,855 --> 06:21:34,536
was attracting scores of
disillusioned Germans,
4313
06:21:35,099 --> 06:21:38,173
including one obscure Austrian
Corporal
4314
06:21:38,702 --> 06:21:40,694
by the name of Adolf Hitler.
4315
06:21:41,786 --> 06:21:45,716
Hitler, like many of the right
wingers, hated this new Berlin.
4316
06:21:46,338 --> 06:21:51,430
A city bursting with Bolsheviks,
socialists, revolutionaries, and Jews.
4317
06:21:51,989 --> 06:21:53,930
But in the early 1920s,
4318
06:21:54,486 --> 06:21:56,928
Berliners
had more immediate concerns.
4319
06:21:57,689 --> 06:22:02,630
By 1922, inflation was
spiraling wildly out of control.
4320
06:22:03,028 --> 06:22:05,063
People would be paid in the
morning,
4321
06:22:05,435 --> 06:22:07,266
and have suitcase fulls of bank
notes.
4322
06:22:07,743 --> 06:22:09,750
And they would have to then
run to the shops,
4323
06:22:10,120 --> 06:22:11,792
because in the time between
being paid,
4324
06:22:12,158 --> 06:22:14,640
and the time when they bought
their goods, their food,
4325
06:22:14,975 --> 06:22:16,247
the prices would have risen.
Anton Gill - Author
4326
06:22:16,925 --> 06:22:19,770
Berlin was in a state of total,
total chaos.
4327
06:22:20,312 --> 06:22:23,607
Hundreds of thousands of
dispossessed starving in the streets
4328
06:22:24,033 --> 06:22:27,177
and at the same time,
you had very rich people.
4329
06:22:28,280 --> 06:22:31,256
You got on the one hand,
the poor eating turnip soup,
4330
06:22:31,957 --> 06:22:35,150
the Butchers selling
crows, squirrels, even rats.
4331
06:22:35,849 --> 06:22:38,085
And on the other side,
people who could afford it,
4332
06:22:38,499 --> 06:22:42,419
eating the most sumptuous meals,
like they never paused for thought.
4333
06:22:44,051 --> 06:22:48,310
With virtually every currency in the world
more valuable than the German mark,
4334
06:22:49,086 --> 06:22:50,912
foreign tourists flocked into
the city
4335
06:22:51,314 --> 06:22:55,649
to take advance of the cheapest
sex on the continent.
4336
06:22:55,687 --> 06:22:59,344
$10 dollars in American money,
could buy you anything you wanted.
4337
06:23:03,282 --> 06:23:07,866
Every possible sexual
taste was catered for.
4338
06:23:09,372 --> 06:23:11,239
House Fraus became harlots,
4339
06:23:11,750 --> 06:23:15,661
teenagers turned tricks,
and Papa became a pimp.
4340
06:23:18,002 --> 06:23:19,003
When you have unemployed,
4341
06:23:19,693 --> 06:23:22,895
you also have an increase
in sex workers.
4342
06:23:24,680 --> 06:23:26,400
But it wasn't just Berliners.
4343
06:23:27,180 --> 06:23:31,380
It was tens and maybe hundreds of
thousands of young boys and young girls,
4344
06:23:31,480 --> 06:23:32,272
who were coming to Berlin
4345
06:23:32,631 --> 06:23:37,112
to participate
in this hard currency sex traffic.
4346
06:23:38,279 --> 06:23:40,316
It was a city that was
filled with lesbian life.
4347
06:23:40,706 --> 06:23:43,105
There was the idea that every where
you went,
4348
06:23:43,428 --> 06:23:44,880
you didn't have to hide what
you were.
4349
06:23:45,657 --> 06:23:46,977
Marlene
DIETRICH
4350
06:23:58,435 --> 06:24:02,380
When it came to sex Marlene
Dietrich could be omnivorous.
4351
06:24:02,754 --> 06:24:04,176
As long as she found them
attractive,
4352
06:24:04,671 --> 06:24:07,734
she couldn't care less if her
lover was a man or a women.
4353
06:24:08,642 --> 06:24:11,290
Dietrich was an omnipotent
sexual figure.
4354
06:24:11,969 --> 06:24:15,881
She was an icon for gay women
around the world
4355
06:24:16,497 --> 06:24:18,969
at a time when there was no
one else.
4356
06:24:21,261 --> 06:24:23,365
With this new anything goes
attitude,
4357
06:24:23,773 --> 06:24:27,542
Berlin over night replaced Paris
as the center of Hedonism.
4358
06:24:29,974 --> 06:24:35,573
That's why people saw Berlin
as the Babylon of the 20s.
4359
06:24:35,673 --> 06:24:39,573
Things that had been considered
to be immoral amoral whatever,
4360
06:24:39,673 --> 06:24:42,892
were became irrelevant
and anything went.
4361
06:24:44,109 --> 06:24:46,051
Drugs were readily
available in Berlin.
4362
06:24:46,407 --> 06:24:49,588
Every variety of drug.
Morphine, cocaine, opium.
4363
06:24:50,484 --> 06:24:52,447
The morphine and cocaine you could
probably get prescribed
4364
06:24:52,746 --> 06:24:54,529
by your local doctor or pharmacist.
4365
06:24:55,193 --> 06:24:56,753
Opium was widely available,
4366
06:24:57,165 --> 06:25:00,467
and also drugs were used in
sexual science.
4367
06:25:01,010 --> 06:25:03,848
Sexual scientists were very
interested in the effects of for instance
4368
06:25:04,184 --> 06:25:06,994
morphine would have on the
orgasmic rate of a lesbian.
4369
06:25:07,641 --> 06:25:09,394
So there was a
complete scientific culture.
4370
06:25:13,420 --> 06:25:16,545
Berlin had become the center
of sexual experimentation.
4371
06:25:17,255 --> 06:25:20,759
It also became the center of
scientific research into sex,
4372
06:25:21,132 --> 06:25:22,834
led by a pioneering doctor.
4373
06:25:23,554 --> 06:25:24,257
von Dr. Magnus Hirschfeld
4374
06:25:24,292 --> 06:25:28,393
And this was a very funny character
called Papa or the Einstein of sex.
4375
06:25:29,168 --> 06:25:30,874
In Berlin, it was Magnus Hirshfeld.
4376
06:25:31,480 --> 06:25:35,251
Hirshfeld was queer Jewish Social
democrat,
4377
06:25:35,604 --> 06:25:38,147
who really defined the Liberal spirit
of Berlin.
4378
06:25:40,539 --> 06:25:42,667
The crusading doctor for sexual freedom
4379
06:25:43,097 --> 06:25:45,689
was also the founder of the world's
first institute
4380
06:25:46,145 --> 06:25:49,224
devoted to the
scientific study of sex.
4381
06:25:51,466 --> 06:25:54,645
You could go and look at various
fetish items,
4382
06:25:54,967 --> 06:25:56,836
for example he had these trousers.
4383
06:25:57,274 --> 06:25:59,323
Now if you wore a trench coat
you could walk around Berlin,
4384
06:25:59,799 --> 06:26:01,009
and look like you had pants on,
4385
06:26:01,337 --> 06:26:03,549
because the lower parts of
the trousers were there.
4386
06:26:03,878 --> 06:26:07,189
But then you had nothing on above
them, and you could flash this way.
4387
06:26:08,164 --> 06:26:11,371
This was thought to be
very tidily very amusing.
4388
06:26:11,799 --> 06:26:16,795
So it was this sort of thing, you could
see in the institute for sexual research.
4389
06:26:18,111 --> 06:26:20,895
Unlike his fellow doctor
in Vienna, Sigmund Freud,
4390
06:26:21,567 --> 06:26:23,794
Hirshfeld advocated the radical
notion
4391
06:26:24,466 --> 06:26:26,618
that human sexuality could be
studied,
4392
06:26:27,130 --> 06:26:29,440
without imposing moral judgements.
4393
06:26:31,174 --> 06:26:35,189
Hirshfeld's also credited with operations
and surgeries of sex change
4394
06:26:35,499 --> 06:26:36,668
and sexual rejuvenation.
4395
06:26:39,292 --> 06:26:43,069
He had a clinic for people to be
consoled about sexual problems.
4396
06:26:44,661 --> 06:26:48,565
But Berlin's reputation as a
hotbed for the new and risque,
4397
06:26:49,149 --> 06:26:52,461
was not just limited to
its bars and bedrooms.
4398
06:26:55,659 --> 06:26:59,551
They also streamed into the
city streets and clubs of Berlin.
4399
06:27:00,247 --> 06:27:03,694
From all across Europe, artists,
writers, and intellectuals
4400
06:27:03,991 --> 06:27:05,174
with homosexual leanings
4401
06:27:05,975 --> 06:27:07,870
were drawn to this metropolis.
4402
06:27:09,258 --> 06:27:13,062
Berlin was unquestioningly the
most open gay city in the world.
4403
06:27:13,799 --> 06:27:16,941
It attracted first W. H. Auden,
the great British poet,
4404
06:27:17,259 --> 06:27:18,558
and then his friend, Christopher
Isherwood.
4405
06:27:19,657 --> 06:27:20,670
Auden came first,
4406
06:27:21,257 --> 06:27:22,467
was interested in the gay scene there,
4407
06:27:22,835 --> 06:27:25,310
and talked about Berlin being
a bugger's paradise.
4408
06:27:27,057 --> 06:27:29,314
Christopher Isherwood,
fed up with Cambridge,
4409
06:27:29,737 --> 06:27:32,332
and an England openly hostile to
homosexuals,
4410
06:27:33,099 --> 06:27:34,642
chose to move to Berlin.
4411
06:27:35,428 --> 06:27:39,201
His novels about the wild side of
life in the city and its cabarets,
4412
06:27:40,103 --> 06:27:44,520
were eventually turned into a hugely
successful stage play and movie.
4413
06:27:46,754 --> 06:27:50,566
There were about a 160 completely
different
4414
06:27:51,066 --> 06:27:54,171
lesbian and gay male night clubs
and lounges.
4415
06:27:55,527 --> 06:27:59,148
Unlike most cities, with
their one red light district,
4416
06:27:59,582 --> 06:28:03,502
Berlin's erotic clubs were scattered
throughout the vast metropolis.
4417
06:28:08,290 --> 06:28:12,897
Bizarre sexual fantasies of domination,
were turned into works of art.
4418
06:28:13,927 --> 06:28:18,303
While they would indulge in a wide
variety of strange sexual experiments
4419
06:28:18,639 --> 06:28:21,830
involving violence and death;
all in the name of art.
4420
06:28:23,454 --> 06:28:26,517
In 1928, a Nazi propaganda sheet,
4421
06:28:26,916 --> 06:28:31,221
denounced Berlin as a melting
pot of everything that is evil.
4422
06:28:32,003 --> 06:28:34,225
When Goebbels got off the
train in 1926,
4423
06:28:34,792 --> 06:28:35,937
to take over the city,
4424
06:28:36,680 --> 06:28:39,933
he found the Nazis could scrape
together maybe 200 members.
4425
06:28:40,778 --> 06:28:44,077
And the Communists at
that point had about 250.000.
4426
06:28:44,241 --> 06:28:47,552
And they didn't particularly take to a
group of people who came in from outside
4427
06:28:48,193 --> 06:28:49,889
and said that everything
that the city had stood for
4428
06:28:50,526 --> 06:28:52,504
was all of a sudden to be abandoned
or to be considered decadent
4429
06:28:52,874 --> 06:28:54,042
or to be pushed aside.
4430
06:28:55,229 --> 06:28:58,245
Hitler had personally
appointed him to go to Berlin.
4431
06:28:58,894 --> 06:29:01,990
It looked at the time like
an impossible mission.
4432
06:29:02,452 --> 06:29:04,925
He was a good choice for the Nazis
because he understood the city.
4433
06:29:05,647 --> 06:29:09,946
It was he who was designated to turn
the city from a bastion of Communism,
4434
06:29:10,046 --> 06:29:12,851
a red city, into a brown
one, a bastion of the Nazi's.
4435
06:29:13,107 --> 06:29:14,244
This was a difficult proposition.
4436
06:29:14,846 --> 06:29:17,145
Berlin to them was
foreign territory.
4437
06:29:17,245 --> 06:29:19,445
They shared the typical provincial,
4438
06:29:19,545 --> 06:29:24,745
conservative German's notion
about Berlin as a decadent place.
4439
06:29:24,845 --> 06:29:27,445
It was too avant-garde,
they hated the place.
4440
06:29:27,545 --> 06:29:29,894
Berlin was in an upheaval.
4441
06:29:29,994 --> 06:29:32,319
Street fights were common.
4442
06:29:32,419 --> 06:29:35,190
Unemployment was worsening.
4443
06:29:35,290 --> 06:29:38,061
And then on January 30th, 1933,
4444
06:29:38,558 --> 06:29:42,000
Hitler was appointed Chancellor
of Germany.
4445
06:29:42,843 --> 06:29:45,775
He made it clear what
his plans for the city were.
4446
06:29:46,643 --> 06:29:49,399
"What is ugly in Berlin,
we shall remove."
4447
06:29:54,342 --> 06:29:56,425
What happened in '33, especially,
4448
06:29:56,845 --> 06:29:59,600
was that the gay Berlin dime bars
started to be raided.
4449
06:29:59,967 --> 06:30:02,325
Those things were allowed to kind
of exist under the radar,
4450
06:30:02,998 --> 06:30:05,472
for, up until 1933 really.
4451
06:30:05,848 --> 06:30:09,094
The Nazi police started paying
attention to the dime bars.
4452
06:30:09,390 --> 06:30:11,456
They were harassing the customers,
they were closing them down;
4453
06:30:11,910 --> 06:30:12,758
you might get arrested.
4454
06:30:13,440 --> 06:30:17,877
The Eldorado, home for some of the
most famous transvestites in the city,
4455
06:30:18,440 --> 06:30:21,739
was taken over and turned
into Nazi headquarters.
4456
06:30:22,339 --> 06:30:25,164
Goebbels sang out the name
of every book
4457
06:30:25,276 --> 06:30:27,948
as it was consigned to the flames,
legend has it.
4458
06:30:35,338 --> 06:30:38,837
The exodus was almost immediate.
4459
06:30:38,937 --> 06:30:45,459
Bertolt Brecht, Kurt Weill, George Grosz,
Albert Einstein, Marlene Dietrich,
4460
06:30:45,737 --> 06:30:48,037
just a small number of the
thousands
4461
06:30:48,638 --> 06:30:49,991
who were driven into exile.
4462
06:30:54,536 --> 06:30:59,735
Berlin for a short 14 years,
had been a crucible of history.
4463
06:30:59,835 --> 06:31:04,274
Brimming with a volatile mix
of sex, arts, and politics,
4464
06:31:04,374 --> 06:31:08,814
laced with disillusionment,
and spiked with decadence.
4465
06:31:14,534 --> 06:31:17,568
The Babylon of the river
supreme was no more.
4466
06:31:18,305 --> 06:31:24,720
