- [Voiceover] In the 1930s an
entire nation was brainwashed.

(dramatic music)
13
00:01:44,772 --> 00:01:47,975
It was manipulated by
masters of propaganda
14
00:01:48,008 --> 00:01:49,609
and the arcane arts.
15
00:01:49,643 --> 00:01:53,380
(dramatic music)
16
00:01:56,817 --> 00:02:00,453
The result was the deaths
of millions of people.
17
00:02:00,487 --> 00:02:03,323
The world was changed in
just a few short years.
18
00:02:03,356 --> 00:02:07,494
(dramatic music)
19
00:02:14,201 --> 00:02:16,536
The men behind
this massive scheme
20
00:02:16,569 --> 00:02:19,072
were members of the
most evil and vile of
21
00:02:19,106 --> 00:02:22,209
political parties
ever to have existed.
22
00:02:22,242 --> 00:02:24,945
We know them as the Nazis.
23
00:02:24,978 --> 00:02:29,616
(speaking in foreign language)
24
00:02:30,751 --> 00:02:33,120
Their purpose was to
bring about the rise
25
00:02:33,153 --> 00:02:35,355
of a so-called Aryan race.
26
00:02:35,388 --> 00:02:37,124
The race that would
rule the world
27
00:02:37,157 --> 00:02:39,126
for a thousand years.
28
00:02:39,159 --> 00:02:41,361
This would be the Third Reich.

(crowd cheering)
42
00:03:11,358 --> 00:03:14,061
In order to see the fulfillment
of their grand scheme
43
00:03:14,094 --> 00:03:17,464
they needed to eradicate
certain races from the globe
44
00:03:17,497 --> 00:03:19,132
and subjugate others.
45
00:03:19,166 --> 00:03:23,136

46
00:03:23,170 --> 00:03:27,374
(speaking in foreign language)
47
00:03:30,143 --> 00:03:32,012
In order to achieve this,
48
00:03:32,045 --> 00:03:33,180
they needed millions of people
49
00:03:33,213 --> 00:03:35,382
to believe and follow them,
50
00:03:35,415 --> 00:03:36,817
and only them.
51
00:03:36,850 --> 00:03:40,587
(crowd cheering)
52
00:03:43,123 --> 00:03:45,192
And so they created a messiah,
53
00:03:45,225 --> 00:03:49,162
a god on earth, his
name was Adolf Hitler
54
00:03:49,196 --> 00:03:50,330
and he would become the master
55
00:03:50,363 --> 00:03:53,133
of manipulating the
hearts and souls of man.
56
00:03:53,166 --> 00:03:56,837
(dramatic music)
57
00:03:59,940 --> 00:04:02,810
From mass hypnosis to
blatant propaganda,
58
00:04:02,843 --> 00:04:06,413
from control of the media to
eradicating the opposition,
59
00:04:06,446 --> 00:04:08,415
all methods were employed.
60
00:04:08,448 --> 00:04:12,485
(dramatic music)
61
00:04:12,519 --> 00:04:15,522
This is the story of
how that incredible goal
62
00:04:15,555 --> 00:04:17,657
was actually brought to fruition
63
00:04:17,690 --> 00:04:21,361
and the methods used to
control the minds of men.
64
00:04:21,394 --> 00:04:24,031
This is the story
of Nazi propaganda.
65
00:04:24,064 --> 00:04:27,734
(dramatic music)
66
00:05:05,738 --> 00:05:07,540
There can be very few
people who have not
67
00:05:07,574 --> 00:05:11,378
heard the term Nazi and
yet there are very few
68
00:05:11,411 --> 00:05:14,481
who can pinpoint
the actual meaning.
69
00:05:14,514 --> 00:05:17,517
Yes it brings to mind
terrible atrocities
70
00:05:17,550 --> 00:05:20,587
and evil looking
characters from war films.
71
00:05:20,620 --> 00:05:24,591
We all know that it is a
word with evil connotations.
72
00:05:24,624 --> 00:05:28,395
Their symbol, the swastika,
is banned from public display
73
00:05:28,428 --> 00:05:30,763
in almost all
parts of the world.
74
00:05:30,797 --> 00:05:34,701
(dramatic music)
75
00:05:37,670 --> 00:05:40,573
But why is this that
in living memory,
76
00:05:40,607 --> 00:05:42,742
millions of people
followed them.
77
00:05:42,775 --> 00:05:45,178
How did so many
people get drawn into
78
00:05:45,212 --> 00:05:47,380
what became quite possibly,
79
00:05:47,414 --> 00:05:49,917
the darkest period
in human history?
80
00:05:49,950 --> 00:05:54,487
(dramatic music)
81
00:06:00,860 --> 00:06:02,963
In this film we look
into the purpose
82
00:06:02,996 --> 00:06:05,798
of the Nazi party,
we explore the power
83
00:06:05,832 --> 00:06:08,368
they had over the
mind and we examine
84
00:06:08,401 --> 00:06:11,204
their methods of
propaganda and hypnosis.
85
00:06:11,238 --> 00:06:15,008
(dramatic music)
86
00:06:21,949 --> 00:06:23,116
Who were they?
87
00:06:23,150 --> 00:06:24,517
What did they do?
88
00:06:24,551 --> 00:06:26,453
Why and how?
89
00:06:26,486 --> 00:06:29,356
It's time to get inside
the mind of the Nazis,
90
00:06:29,389 --> 00:06:31,058
the monsters of manipulation.
91
00:06:31,091 --> 00:06:35,062
(dramatic music)
92
00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:42,902
The actual term Nazi,
is the shortened version
93
00:06:42,936 --> 00:06:45,905
of the National Socialist
German Workers Party.
94
00:06:45,939 --> 00:06:48,641
The brain child of
one particular man,
95
00:06:48,675 --> 00:06:50,377
who rose from the
ashes of a poverty
96
00:06:50,410 --> 00:06:52,879
stricken Germany, Adolf Hitler.
97
00:06:52,912 --> 00:06:56,883
(dramatic music)
98
00:07:09,596 --> 00:07:11,664
As a youth in
Austria, Adolf Hitler
99
00:07:11,698 --> 00:07:13,566
became politically influenced by
100
00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:16,536
radical German Nationalism.
101
00:07:16,569 --> 00:07:18,972
This led him into anti-semitism
102
00:07:19,006 --> 00:07:22,109
as well as hatred for
the Slavs, Habsburgs,
103
00:07:22,142 --> 00:07:23,977
Catholics and more.
104
00:07:24,011 --> 00:07:28,048
(dramatic music)
105
00:07:36,990 --> 00:07:39,226
It was this time
he saw the merits
106
00:07:39,259 --> 00:07:41,794
of absolute party leadership,
107
00:07:41,828 --> 00:07:44,964
the title of Fuhrer and
even the greeting of Heil.
108
00:07:44,998 --> 00:07:49,269
(dramatic music)
109
00:07:59,012 --> 00:08:03,116
Heil mine Fuhrer, simply
meant "Hail my leader."
110
00:08:03,150 --> 00:08:07,654
Later a chant zeig heil was
created for public occasions
111
00:08:07,687 --> 00:08:09,989
as the Nazis
understood such things
112
00:08:10,023 --> 00:08:12,392
created a harmony
among the followers.
113
00:08:12,425 --> 00:08:16,896
(dramatic music)
114
00:08:28,741 --> 00:08:32,112
In fact, Adolf Hitler
himself, studied hypnotism,
115
00:08:32,145 --> 00:08:35,782
when he read the book,
"Psychology of the Masses".
116
00:08:35,815 --> 00:08:38,785
The book describes the
psychology of the crowd
117
00:08:38,818 --> 00:08:41,454
and the techniques that could
be used to control them.
118
00:08:41,488 --> 00:08:45,792
(dramatic music)
119
00:08:57,637 --> 00:08:59,672
Using hypnotic suggestions,
120
00:08:59,706 --> 00:09:02,609
a crowd can be manipulated.
121
00:09:02,642 --> 00:09:05,412
Repetition and the use
of movement are key.
122
00:09:05,445 --> 00:09:09,416
(dramatic music)
123
00:09:21,694 --> 00:09:23,630
When an animal
walking through a wood
124
00:09:23,663 --> 00:09:26,933
sees a movement,
it stops and looks.
125
00:09:26,966 --> 00:09:29,369
Its attention has been gained.
126
00:09:29,402 --> 00:09:30,970
If a movement happens again,
127
00:09:31,003 --> 00:09:33,306
then the animal will
continue to look,
128
00:09:33,340 --> 00:09:35,675
mesmerized to the spot.
129
00:09:35,708 --> 00:09:37,777
The same applies to us.
130
00:09:37,810 --> 00:09:40,880
Watch as the speaker may
walk up and down the stage
131
00:09:40,913 --> 00:09:43,049
keeping our natural gaze.
132
00:09:43,082 --> 00:09:47,154
(dramatic music)
133
00:09:53,993 --> 00:09:56,028
Movement of the body and arms
134
00:09:56,062 --> 00:09:59,566
enforce a strength and
those watching are fixed.
135
00:09:59,599 --> 00:10:03,836
(dramatic music)
136
00:10:08,408 --> 00:10:11,211
In this state, whatever
is said by the speaker
137
00:10:11,244 --> 00:10:13,112
has more power.
138
00:10:13,146 --> 00:10:17,116
(dramatic music)
139
00:10:19,952 --> 00:10:22,189
Repeat it and it becomes gospel.
140
00:10:22,222 --> 00:10:26,125
(dramatic music)
141
00:10:29,296 --> 00:10:32,665
Hitler used repetition,
not just in speeches,
142
00:10:32,699 --> 00:10:34,701
but he repeated the speeches.
143
00:10:34,734 --> 00:10:39,105
(dramatic music)
144
00:10:41,908 --> 00:10:45,278
A repeated statement becomes
embedded in the mind.
145
00:10:45,312 --> 00:10:48,348
Hymns in church are sung
for this very reason,
146
00:10:48,381 --> 00:10:51,851
to drive home the propaganda
and message of the church.
147
00:10:51,884 --> 00:10:56,055
(dramatic music)
148
00:11:00,860 --> 00:11:04,096
HItler himself said, "What
you say to the people
149
00:11:04,130 --> 00:11:06,566
"collectively, in
that receptive state
150
00:11:06,599 --> 00:11:08,968
"of fanatical abandonment,
151
00:11:09,001 --> 00:11:12,071
"remains in their
mind like an order
152
00:11:12,104 --> 00:11:15,041
"given to someone
under hypnosis,
153
00:11:15,074 --> 00:11:17,544
"which can not be wiped out
154
00:11:17,577 --> 00:11:20,213
"and resists all
logical argument."
155
00:11:20,247 --> 00:11:24,183
(dramatic music)
156
00:11:29,121 --> 00:11:31,958
He used all the
techniques known.
157
00:11:31,991 --> 00:11:34,927
Pacing up and down,
pause and action.
158
00:11:34,961 --> 00:11:37,797
Repetition and hand
movements for reinforcement.
159
00:11:37,830 --> 00:11:42,034
(dramatic music)
160
00:11:46,406 --> 00:11:49,542
Through such hypnosis,
Hitler could bypass
161
00:11:49,576 --> 00:11:51,711
rationality and logic
162
00:11:51,744 --> 00:11:54,046
and aim straight into
the core of the mind,
163
00:11:54,080 --> 00:11:56,683
without the conscious
knowledge of the viewer.
164
00:11:56,716 --> 00:12:00,553
(dramatic music)
165
00:12:07,894 --> 00:12:09,729
Repeated viewing
of the same speaker
166
00:12:09,762 --> 00:12:12,031
has been proven to
reinforce a concept
167
00:12:12,064 --> 00:12:15,468
of admiration and
even of holiness.
168
00:12:15,502 --> 00:12:19,539
Eventually, every word
uttered becomes holy writ.
169
00:12:19,572 --> 00:12:23,543
(speaking in foreign language)
170
00:12:24,677 --> 00:12:28,515
(crowd cheering)
171
00:12:34,253 --> 00:12:38,958
(speaking in foreign language)
172
00:12:40,226 --> 00:12:42,762
He was also instructed
in the art of hypnosis,
173
00:12:42,795 --> 00:12:44,163
by an expert.
174
00:12:44,196 --> 00:12:47,600
A British Secret Service
report from 1943,
175
00:12:47,634 --> 00:12:50,903
stated "During the early 1920s,
176
00:12:50,937 --> 00:12:53,806
"Hitler took regular
lessons in speaking
177
00:12:53,840 --> 00:12:56,108
"and in mass
psychology from a man
178
00:12:56,142 --> 00:13:00,179
"named Hamsun, who
was also a practicing
179
00:13:00,212 --> 00:13:03,316
"astrologer and fortune teller."
180
00:13:03,350 --> 00:13:05,785
He was an extremely
clever individual
181
00:13:05,818 --> 00:13:07,487
who taught Hitler a great deal
182
00:13:07,520 --> 00:13:10,357
concerning the importance
of staging meetings
183
00:13:10,390 --> 00:13:13,259
to obtain the greatest
dramatic effect.
184
00:13:13,292 --> 00:13:16,629
(dramatic music)
185
00:13:22,969 --> 00:13:24,604
What Hitler was really good at
186
00:13:24,637 --> 00:13:26,739
was the power of suggestion,
187
00:13:26,773 --> 00:13:28,408
repeating a phrase.
188
00:13:28,441 --> 00:13:32,479
(dramatic music)
189
00:13:34,113 --> 00:13:37,417
Over time, Hitler's
beliefs changed and grew.
190
00:13:37,450 --> 00:13:40,420
His experience as a corporal
in the first world war
191
00:13:40,453 --> 00:13:42,955
saw him eventually blame
the leaders of Germany
192
00:13:42,989 --> 00:13:45,425
for the loss of the
war and the subsequent
193
00:13:45,458 --> 00:13:47,994
humiliation of the
Treaty of Versailles.
194
00:13:48,027 --> 00:13:51,664
(dramatic music)
195
00:13:53,433 --> 00:13:54,801
He also blamed the Jews.
196
00:13:54,834 --> 00:13:58,170
(dramatic music)
197
00:14:15,054 --> 00:14:17,089
He learned everything he could.
198
00:14:17,123 --> 00:14:18,691
He gathered information.
199
00:14:18,725 --> 00:14:22,495
(dramatic music)
200
00:14:24,030 --> 00:14:27,033
What his intentions were
originally is unknown,
201
00:14:27,066 --> 00:14:29,301
but he molded himself
with his knowledge
202
00:14:29,335 --> 00:14:31,103
and he was intent
on doing something
203
00:14:31,137 --> 00:14:33,606
about the plight of the
German speaking world.
204
00:14:33,640 --> 00:14:36,743
(dramatic music)
205
00:14:40,112 --> 00:14:42,915
Over time, and following
hundreds of speeches,
206
00:14:42,949 --> 00:14:45,017
arguments, political maneuvering
207
00:14:45,051 --> 00:14:49,221
and outright bullying,
Hitler found his destiny
208
00:14:49,255 --> 00:14:51,524
as the leader of the Nazi Party.
209
00:14:51,558 --> 00:14:55,394
(dramatic music)
210
00:14:56,563 --> 00:14:58,698
So what was Nazi Germany?
211
00:14:58,731 --> 00:15:02,201
Between 1933 and 1945,
212
00:15:02,234 --> 00:15:05,472
the term was interchangeable
with the Third Reich,
213
00:15:05,505 --> 00:15:08,107
a period when the
country was controlled
214
00:15:08,140 --> 00:15:10,743
by Adolf Hitler and
his National Socialist
215
00:15:10,777 --> 00:15:12,679
German Workers Party.
216
00:15:12,712 --> 00:15:13,913
Or Nazi Party.
217
00:15:13,946 --> 00:15:17,450
(dramatic music)
218
00:15:17,484 --> 00:15:20,119
Under Hitler's reign,
Germany changed into
219
00:15:20,152 --> 00:15:23,523
a fascist totalitarian
state, whereby almost
220
00:15:23,556 --> 00:15:26,993
all facets of life were
controlled by the government.
221
00:15:27,026 --> 00:15:30,697
(dramatic music)
222
00:15:39,706 --> 00:15:43,510
The very moment Hitler took
power as Chancellor in 1933,
223
00:15:43,543 --> 00:15:47,213
all political opponents
were eliminated.
224
00:15:47,246 --> 00:15:51,718
In 1934, the President,
Hindenburg, died
225
00:15:51,751 --> 00:15:54,954
and Hitler became Dictator.
226
00:15:54,987 --> 00:15:57,490
His title was Fuhrer, or leader.
227
00:15:57,524 --> 00:16:01,528
(dramatic music)
228
00:16:13,205 --> 00:16:16,008
All power was in his
hands and his word
229
00:16:16,042 --> 00:16:18,210
was above the law.
230
00:16:18,244 --> 00:16:21,047
Gathering around Hitler
were the various factions
231
00:16:21,080 --> 00:16:24,083
all trying desperately
to attract his attention
232
00:16:24,116 --> 00:16:25,885
and gain his favor.
233
00:16:25,918 --> 00:16:30,156
(dramatic music)
234
00:16:33,192 --> 00:16:35,762
Nothing was beyond
them in their fight
235
00:16:35,795 --> 00:16:37,096
for the Fuhrer's love.
236
00:16:37,129 --> 00:16:40,833
(dramatic music)
237
00:16:44,871 --> 00:16:46,472
It had been a time
of desperation
238
00:16:46,505 --> 00:16:49,809
and poverty was rife
under the Nazis,
239
00:16:49,842 --> 00:16:51,844
the economy grew and stabilized.
240
00:16:51,878 --> 00:16:55,782
(dramatic music)
241
00:17:01,020 --> 00:17:03,690
Massive public works
were undertaken.
242
00:17:03,723 --> 00:17:05,658
Germany was being rebuilt
243
00:17:05,692 --> 00:17:08,795
and with it the spirit
of the master race.
244
00:17:08,828 --> 00:17:12,699
(dramatic music)
245
00:17:20,673 --> 00:17:22,975
The Nazis enjoyed
massive popularity
246
00:17:23,009 --> 00:17:25,444
through this economic stability
247
00:17:25,477 --> 00:17:27,313
and this allowed them
to begin introducing
248
00:17:27,346 --> 00:17:31,083
some of the more sinister
elements of their policies.
249
00:17:31,117 --> 00:17:34,654
(dramatic music)
250
00:17:43,462 --> 00:17:45,732
They had done what they
said they would do,
251
00:17:45,765 --> 00:17:49,001
so they must be right,
was the public perception.
252
00:17:49,035 --> 00:17:53,339
(dramatic music)
253
00:17:55,141 --> 00:17:57,209
Education was
targeted, introducing
254
00:17:57,243 --> 00:18:00,079
the concepts of racial
purity into the schools.
255
00:18:00,112 --> 00:18:04,250
(dramatic music)
256
00:18:10,723 --> 00:18:13,993
The children were being
prepared on many levels.
257
00:18:14,026 --> 00:18:15,962
Firstly, they were being aligned
258
00:18:15,995 --> 00:18:17,864
to the beliefs of the Fuhrer.
259
00:18:17,897 --> 00:18:21,600
Secondly, the boys were
prepared for military service
260
00:18:21,634 --> 00:18:24,737
and the girls softened
up for motherhood.
261
00:18:24,771 --> 00:18:28,440
(dramatic music)
262
00:18:41,053 --> 00:18:43,022
Opportunities for
females were reduced,
263
00:18:43,055 --> 00:18:46,826
so they could concentrate on
being good German mothers.
264
00:18:46,859 --> 00:18:50,462
(dramatic music)
265
00:18:53,632 --> 00:18:56,168
Through the Strength
for Joy program,
266
00:18:56,202 --> 00:18:58,170
recreation was organized,
267
00:18:58,204 --> 00:19:02,074
and in 1936, Germany
held the Olympics,
268
00:19:02,108 --> 00:19:04,076
placing the might
of the Third Reich,
269
00:19:04,110 --> 00:19:06,278
in the international spotlight.
270
00:19:06,312 --> 00:19:10,349
(dramatic music)
271
00:19:17,890 --> 00:19:21,160
All media and public
gatherings were controlled.
272
00:19:21,193 --> 00:19:23,730
Propaganda was everywhere.
273
00:19:23,763 --> 00:19:26,098
Even art was controlled.
274
00:19:26,132 --> 00:19:28,034
As the power of
Germany grew against
275
00:19:28,067 --> 00:19:30,336
the backdrop of a weak Europe,
276
00:19:30,369 --> 00:19:34,240
the aggression of the Nazis
began to terrify many.
277
00:19:34,273 --> 00:19:37,977
(dramatic music)
278
00:19:39,045 --> 00:19:42,381
(speaking in foreign language)
279
00:19:45,684 --> 00:19:47,619
- [Voiceover] If I Adolf Hitler,
280
00:19:47,653 --> 00:19:49,856
can set the clout
of the German nation
281
00:19:49,889 --> 00:19:52,358
to the head of war without
the smallest ticking
282
00:19:52,391 --> 00:19:55,161
for spilling precious
German blood.
283
00:19:55,194 --> 00:19:56,763
Then surely I have
the right to remove
284
00:19:56,796 --> 00:20:00,900
millions of an inferior race
that breeds like vermin.
285
00:20:00,933 --> 00:20:03,202
(crowd cheering)
286
00:20:03,235 --> 00:20:04,370
- [Voiceover] When
they made territorial
287
00:20:04,403 --> 00:20:07,506
demands in Czechoslovakia,
Europe buckled.
288
00:20:07,539 --> 00:20:10,777
Russia and Italy aligned
themselves with the Nazis,
289
00:20:10,810 --> 00:20:15,314
Poland was invaded and
war was declared in 1939.
290
00:20:16,682 --> 00:20:18,150
- [Voiceover] This is murder.
291
00:20:18,184 --> 00:20:19,718
Deliberate murder.
292
00:20:19,752 --> 00:20:20,719
(dramatic music)
293
00:20:20,753 --> 00:20:21,921
(crowd cheering)
294
00:20:21,954 --> 00:20:24,791
- [Voiceover] By 1940, Germany
controlled most of Europe.
295
00:20:24,824 --> 00:20:28,360
(dramatic music)
296
00:20:29,261 --> 00:20:30,162
- [Voiceover]
Defying every written
297
00:20:30,196 --> 00:20:32,398
and unwritten law of man,
298
00:20:32,431 --> 00:20:35,267
not only premeditated,
but carried out
299
00:20:35,301 --> 00:20:37,503
by official decree.
300
00:20:37,536 --> 00:20:39,671
- [Voiceover] Only
Great Britain remained
301
00:20:39,705 --> 00:20:43,843
and until 1942, the
Americans stood back.
302
00:20:45,311 --> 00:20:47,046
- [Voiceover] Here
in utmost secrecy,
303
00:20:47,079 --> 00:20:49,248
the hardening up forces.
304
00:20:49,281 --> 00:20:52,051
Building up Hitler's
army and his industry.
305
00:20:52,084 --> 00:20:55,554
(upbeat music)
306
00:20:56,823 --> 00:20:59,358
- [Voiceover] Tell the world
we have no raw materials,
307
00:20:59,391 --> 00:21:02,628
and never let them
see what goes on.
308
00:21:02,661 --> 00:21:05,364
Day after day,
night after night,
309
00:21:05,397 --> 00:21:09,335
month after month,
year after year,
310
00:21:09,368 --> 00:21:12,872
we must have the world's
most powerful club.
311
00:21:12,905 --> 00:21:16,675
Forget hours, forget
working conditions,
312
00:21:16,708 --> 00:21:22,281
forget how to think, forge
the club of blood and iron.
313
00:21:22,314 --> 00:21:25,284
Let the democracies
talk about freedom.
314
00:21:25,317 --> 00:21:27,053
No freedom here.
315
00:21:27,086 --> 00:21:28,720
No labor unions.
316
00:21:28,754 --> 00:21:30,356
No overtime.
317
00:21:30,389 --> 00:21:32,358
The Fuhrer tells
you where to work.
318
00:21:32,391 --> 00:21:35,294
When to work, how long to work.
319
00:21:35,327 --> 00:21:37,563
How much your work is worth.
320
00:21:37,596 --> 00:21:40,232
Forge the club of
blood and iron.
321
00:21:40,266 --> 00:21:42,201
We have a sacred mission.
322
00:21:42,234 --> 00:21:44,236
Today we rule Germany.
323
00:21:44,270 --> 00:21:46,305
Tomorrow, the world.
324
00:21:46,338 --> 00:21:50,542
(crowd cheering)
325
00:21:52,778 --> 00:21:54,446
- [Voiceover] And for
those who don't like it,
326
00:21:54,480 --> 00:21:55,882
you don't eat.
327
00:21:57,449 --> 00:22:00,853
Or you disappear into
a concentration camp.
328
00:22:03,389 --> 00:22:05,424
Or you get this.
329
00:22:05,457 --> 00:22:06,725
(gunshots)
330
00:22:06,758 --> 00:22:09,228
And this is the man
who gives it to you.
331
00:22:09,261 --> 00:22:10,429
(gunshots)
332
00:22:10,462 --> 00:22:13,933
(dramatic music)
333
00:22:17,136 --> 00:22:19,205
And what of the army?
334
00:22:20,306 --> 00:22:21,607
Before Hitler came into power,
335
00:22:21,640 --> 00:22:23,742
the German Army by
treaty was limited
336
00:22:23,775 --> 00:22:26,412
to one hundred thousand men,
337
00:22:26,445 --> 00:22:28,247
but treaties to the
Germans have always
338
00:22:28,280 --> 00:22:30,649
been something to ignore.
339
00:22:30,682 --> 00:22:32,318
These one hundred thousand men
340
00:22:32,351 --> 00:22:34,420
were in reality a
hundred thousand
341
00:22:34,453 --> 00:22:35,854
highly trained officers.
342
00:22:35,888 --> 00:22:39,458
The men who lead the
Nazi regiments today.
343
00:22:40,426 --> 00:22:43,062
But Hitler didn't merely
ignore the treaty,
344
00:22:43,095 --> 00:22:44,463
he tore it up.
345
00:22:44,496 --> 00:22:47,499
And in 1935 ordered
National Conscription.
346
00:22:47,533 --> 00:22:50,469
(dramatic music)
347
00:22:50,502 --> 00:22:52,504
Simultaneously, he
ordered German youth
348
00:22:52,538 --> 00:22:54,506
to become air minded.
349
00:22:54,540 --> 00:22:57,043
Toy gliders filled the air.
350
00:22:57,076 --> 00:22:58,945
But as the boys grew bigger,
351
00:22:58,978 --> 00:23:00,212
so did the gliders.
352
00:23:00,246 --> 00:23:01,380
(dramatic music)
353
00:23:01,413 --> 00:23:03,882
Soon these same youths
were trained pilots,
354
00:23:03,916 --> 00:23:07,519
flying the new planes the
factories were producing.
355
00:23:07,553 --> 00:23:09,421
The Luftwaffe was
being assembled.
356
00:23:09,455 --> 00:23:13,059
(dramatic music)
357
00:23:16,062 --> 00:23:18,130
The only thing old
about this new army,
358
00:23:18,164 --> 00:23:19,431
was the goose step.
359
00:23:19,465 --> 00:23:20,799
And even Hitler couldn't improve
360
00:23:20,832 --> 00:23:23,302
on that ancient German
form of torture,
361
00:23:23,335 --> 00:23:25,237
designed to make
man stop thinking
362
00:23:25,271 --> 00:23:27,974
and blindly obey.
363
00:23:28,007 --> 00:23:29,575
Goose step them
until they become
364
00:23:29,608 --> 00:23:31,543
as insensible as weapons.
365
00:23:31,577 --> 00:23:34,813
(dramatic music)
366
00:23:36,648 --> 00:23:39,585
Everything else was new.
367
00:23:39,618 --> 00:23:41,820
Tanks, motorized equipment
368
00:23:41,853 --> 00:23:43,522
and one of our own inventions,
369
00:23:43,555 --> 00:23:44,656
the dive bomber.
370
00:23:44,690 --> 00:23:47,926
(plane engine screaming)
371
00:23:47,960 --> 00:23:51,563
All this rearmament
was strictly illegal,
372
00:23:51,597 --> 00:23:53,665
according to the
Versailles Treaty
373
00:23:53,699 --> 00:23:55,501
and the next illegal
step Hitler took,
374
00:23:55,534 --> 00:23:58,037
was to march his troops
into the Rhineland,
375
00:23:58,070 --> 00:24:00,639
a strip of land between
Germany and France,
376
00:24:00,672 --> 00:24:02,808
demilitarized after the last war
377
00:24:02,841 --> 00:24:05,577
as a precaution against
future German aggression,
378
00:24:05,611 --> 00:24:07,679
but Hitler's plan
of eastern conquest
379
00:24:07,713 --> 00:24:09,548
demanded a barrier
against democratic
380
00:24:09,581 --> 00:24:11,017
action in the west.
381
00:24:11,050 --> 00:24:13,552
So Hitler re-militarized
the Rhineland
382
00:24:13,585 --> 00:24:16,955
and began building the
formidable Siegfried line,
383
00:24:16,989 --> 00:24:20,559
a chain of forts and
defenses 450 miles long
384
00:24:20,592 --> 00:24:23,562
and in some places,
30 miles wide.
385
00:24:23,595 --> 00:24:26,265
Germany had fought
one two front war
386
00:24:26,298 --> 00:24:27,533
and didn't want another.
387
00:24:27,566 --> 00:24:31,237
(engines whirring)
388
00:24:33,605 --> 00:24:37,609
(dramatic music)
389
00:24:39,545 --> 00:24:40,812
As many as half a million men,
390
00:24:40,846 --> 00:24:43,615
worked as much as 20 hours a day
391
00:24:43,649 --> 00:24:47,319
to build 22,000 fortified
positions on land,
392
00:24:47,353 --> 00:24:50,422
where by treaty
no German soldier
393
00:24:50,456 --> 00:24:52,458
was supposed to set foot.
394

- [Voiceover] The
Nazis were truly
401
00:25:35,801 --> 00:25:38,204
beginning to believe in
their own propaganda,
402
00:25:38,237 --> 00:25:41,006
that they were destined
to rule the world.
403
00:25:41,039 --> 00:25:45,111
(dramatic music)
404
00:25:45,144 --> 00:25:48,680
Most scholars see the Nazi
Party as the far right,
405
00:25:48,714 --> 00:25:50,949
but what does this mean?
406
00:25:50,982 --> 00:25:53,719
They argued through
neo-Darwinism,
407
00:25:53,752 --> 00:25:56,155
that what they called
the Aryan race,
408
00:25:56,188 --> 00:26:00,826
was superior and had the
right to rule all others.
409
00:26:00,859 --> 00:26:02,594
Hitler himself
claimed that Nazism,
410
00:26:02,628 --> 00:26:04,730
was neither left nor
right, and he attacked
411
00:26:04,763 --> 00:26:08,400
both communism and capitalism
as pawns of the Jews.
412
00:26:08,434 --> 00:26:12,037
(dramatic music)
413
00:26:12,070 --> 00:26:15,307
He said the Nazis were not
for any class of people,
414
00:26:15,341 --> 00:26:17,409
but the pure from both sides.
415
00:26:17,443 --> 00:26:21,313
(dramatic music)
416
00:26:23,649 --> 00:26:25,817
The Nazi's held the
Weimar Republic,
417
00:26:25,851 --> 00:26:27,486
the old system of government
418
00:26:27,519 --> 00:26:29,388
in Germany in contempt.
419
00:26:29,421 --> 00:26:33,259
(dramatic music)
420
00:26:37,496 --> 00:26:38,697
It was they who
had brought about
421
00:26:38,730 --> 00:26:40,932
the signing of the
Treaty of Versailles
422
00:26:40,966 --> 00:26:42,868
and the humiliation of Germany.
423
00:26:42,901 --> 00:26:46,872
After World War I, the German
right wing nationalists,
424
00:26:46,905 --> 00:26:50,041
known as the Free Corp,
engaged in political violence
425
00:26:50,075 --> 00:26:54,112
and the Nazis were intrigued
and inspired by their methods.
426
00:26:54,146 --> 00:26:55,347
(dramatic music)

- [Voiceover] The symbols
and the leaders change,
428
00:26:57,683 --> 00:26:59,851
but Germany's maniacal
urge to impose
429
00:26:59,885 --> 00:27:03,355
its will on others continues
from generation to generation.

- [Voiceover] The monarchists
of post-war Germany
432
00:27:08,927 --> 00:27:11,630
were being threatened
by the young generations
433
00:27:11,663 --> 00:27:14,233
who wanted to
create a new state,
434
00:27:14,266 --> 00:27:16,202
based on martial rule.
435
00:27:16,235 --> 00:27:19,871
(dramatic music)
436
00:27:19,905 --> 00:27:21,773
The Nazis formed
an alliance with
437
00:27:21,807 --> 00:27:24,910
several other parties
and industrialists
438
00:27:24,943 --> 00:27:26,712
and began to grow in power.
439
00:27:26,745 --> 00:27:30,916
(dramatic music)
440
00:27:30,949 --> 00:27:33,352
Hitler's hypnotic
speeches helped
441
00:27:33,385 --> 00:27:35,187
to secure him as the leader.
442
00:27:35,221 --> 00:27:39,157
(dramatic music)
443
00:27:44,796 --> 00:27:46,698
Following the 1932 elections,
444
00:27:46,732 --> 00:27:48,300
the alliance broke off.
445
00:27:48,334 --> 00:27:49,801
Kaiser Wilhelm the Second,
446
00:27:49,835 --> 00:27:52,103
was under pressure
and abdicated.
447
00:27:52,137 --> 00:27:55,341
His four sons became
members of the Nazi Party.
448
00:27:55,374 --> 00:27:59,278
(dramatic music)
449
00:28:02,047 --> 00:28:04,850
Hitler's top team was
forming with Goering,
450
00:28:04,883 --> 00:28:07,353
Himmler and Goebbels among them.
451
00:28:07,386 --> 00:28:11,056
In 1933, the party
finally gained power.
452
00:28:11,089 --> 00:28:13,925
Hitler had played
the political game.
453
00:28:13,959 --> 00:28:16,762
He had coerced and
cajoled and he succeeded.
454
00:28:16,795 --> 00:28:20,299
(dramatic music)
455
00:28:33,078 --> 00:28:36,081
Promises and pressure,
carrot and stick,
456
00:28:36,114 --> 00:28:39,418
Nazism was about
German Nationalism,
457
00:28:39,451 --> 00:28:41,987
about pride and expansion.
458
00:28:42,020 --> 00:28:44,323
Taking back what was
rightfully theirs.
459
00:28:44,356 --> 00:28:48,193
(dramatic music)
460
00:28:55,834 --> 00:28:57,303
Millions of people
who had suffered
461
00:28:57,336 --> 00:28:59,571
at the hands of the
Treaty of Versailles
462
00:28:59,605 --> 00:29:01,907
and the Great
Depression, were now
463
00:29:01,940 --> 00:29:04,410
promised jobs,
holidays and more.
464
00:29:04,443 --> 00:29:08,280
(dramatic music)
465
00:29:20,058 --> 00:29:22,394
Those who argued were punished.
466
00:29:22,428 --> 00:29:25,964
The German people were
the superior race.
467
00:29:25,997 --> 00:29:28,400
It was a myth built
around the concept
468
00:29:28,434 --> 00:29:30,235
of the Aryan master race
469
00:29:30,268 --> 00:29:33,405
and it fed into the
Nationalistic swelling of pride
470
00:29:33,439 --> 00:29:35,474
filling the huge void.
471
00:29:35,507 --> 00:29:38,910
It was time to take back
the lung that was stolen.
472
00:29:38,944 --> 00:29:41,112
Time to show the
world that Germans
473
00:29:41,146 --> 00:29:43,281
were a force to
be reckoned with.
474
00:29:43,315 --> 00:29:47,018
(dramatic music)
475
00:29:54,926 --> 00:29:56,695
So just what did the Nazi Party
476
00:29:56,728 --> 00:29:58,830
finally end up believing in?
477
00:29:58,864 --> 00:30:01,700
Just what kind of
country had they created?
478
00:30:01,733 --> 00:30:04,336
How did the people live with it?
479
00:30:04,370 --> 00:30:05,471
Were they happy?
480
00:30:05,504 --> 00:30:09,007
(dramatic music)
481
00:30:15,313 --> 00:30:17,215
If you were female
in Nazi Germany,
482
00:30:17,248 --> 00:30:20,386
then you were excluded
from political office.
483
00:30:20,419 --> 00:30:23,389
The term children,
kitchen, church
484
00:30:23,422 --> 00:30:26,458
was often applied for
the good German lady.
485
00:30:26,492 --> 00:30:30,161
(dramatic music)
486
00:30:36,267 --> 00:30:39,270
Women were ordered to
avoid sexual relations
487
00:30:39,304 --> 00:30:41,440
with foreigners
in order to avoid
488
00:30:41,473 --> 00:30:44,042
having the pure
German blood soiled.
489
00:30:44,075 --> 00:30:47,713
(dramatic music)
490
00:30:54,520 --> 00:30:57,255
Himmler said, "Fellow
Germans who engage
491
00:30:57,288 --> 00:31:00,225
"in sexual relations
with male or female
492
00:31:00,258 --> 00:31:03,529
"civil workers of the
Polish nationality,
493
00:31:03,562 --> 00:31:06,197
"commit other immoral acts,
494
00:31:06,231 --> 00:31:08,567
"or engage in love affairs,
495
00:31:08,600 --> 00:31:10,602
"shall be arrested immediately."
496
00:31:10,636 --> 00:31:14,540
(dramatic music)
497
00:31:23,515 --> 00:31:26,051
Heydrich later declared
that Russian males
498
00:31:26,084 --> 00:31:29,020
would suffer the death
penalty for such an act.
499
00:31:29,054 --> 00:31:31,457
The women would have
their heads shaved,
500
00:31:31,490 --> 00:31:35,561
be paraded in public or even
sent to concentration camps.
501
00:31:35,594 --> 00:31:39,264
(dramatic music)
502
00:31:51,543 --> 00:31:54,145
The method of getting the
message across to women
503
00:31:54,179 --> 00:31:57,348
began early with the
League of the German Girls.
504
00:31:57,382 --> 00:32:01,487
Nazi Nationalism was all
about the German way of life,
505
00:32:01,520 --> 00:32:05,123
the German bloodline,
the special Aryan race,
506
00:32:05,156 --> 00:32:08,359
therefore others who
lived in the Nazi realm
507
00:32:08,393 --> 00:32:11,497
were second rate
citizens or worse.
508
00:32:11,530 --> 00:32:13,765
And with the dogma
of expansionism,
509
00:32:13,799 --> 00:32:15,266
many more millions would soon
510
00:32:15,300 --> 00:32:17,669
find themselves in
similar situations.
511
00:32:17,703 --> 00:32:21,640
(dramatic music)
512
00:32:29,581 --> 00:32:32,851
The terror and horror of
the Nazi Aryan elitism
513
00:32:32,884 --> 00:32:35,621
spreading across
Europe was unbearable.
514
00:32:35,654 --> 00:32:39,558
(dramatic music)
515
00:32:41,259 --> 00:32:44,796
Aryan's, Nazis said,
were in conflict with all
516
00:32:44,830 --> 00:32:47,733
other races for superiority.
517
00:32:47,766 --> 00:32:51,436
(dramatic music)
518
00:33:00,478 --> 00:33:04,115
A set of race laws were
introduced in 1935,
519
00:33:04,149 --> 00:33:07,786
which became known as
the Nuremberg Laws.
520
00:33:07,819 --> 00:33:09,087
In the beginning,
these laws simply
521
00:33:09,120 --> 00:33:11,289
outlawed sexual
relations and marriage
522
00:33:11,322 --> 00:33:13,191
between Germans and Jews,
523
00:33:13,224 --> 00:33:14,826
but it was then
extended to include
524
00:33:14,860 --> 00:33:16,828
Gypsies and Negroes.
525
00:33:16,862 --> 00:33:19,364
In the war, it was
extended further,
526
00:33:19,397 --> 00:33:21,199
to include all other races.
527
00:33:21,232 --> 00:33:25,103
(dramatic music)
528
00:33:33,579 --> 00:33:36,915
The Nazis drive was to
maintain racial purity
529
00:33:36,948 --> 00:33:38,750
and so they went
about the systematic
530
00:33:38,784 --> 00:33:43,321
extermination of Jews,
Romanies and the mentally ill
531
00:33:43,354 --> 00:33:45,523
and the physically disabled.
532
00:33:45,557 --> 00:33:49,394
(dramatic music)
533
00:33:58,069 --> 00:33:59,871
Others, were called degenerates.
534
00:33:59,905 --> 00:34:03,208
People such as homosexuals,
Jehovah's Witnesses,
535
00:34:03,241 --> 00:34:06,945
blacks and of course,
anybody who didn't agree.
536
00:34:06,978 --> 00:34:11,549
(dramatic music)
537
00:34:19,658 --> 00:34:21,259
Another one of
Hitler's grand schemes,
538
00:34:21,292 --> 00:34:23,829
was to exterminate
or enslave the Slavs
539
00:34:23,862 --> 00:34:26,397
of Central and Eastern Europe,
540
00:34:26,431 --> 00:34:29,635
such as the Russians,
Poles, and Ukrainians.
541
00:34:29,668 --> 00:34:33,438
(dramatic music)
542
00:34:41,346 --> 00:34:45,183
This, he said, would make
way for German settlers.
543
00:34:45,216 --> 00:34:47,719
The Slavs were to Hitler, a mass
544
00:34:47,753 --> 00:34:50,889
of born slaves
awaiting their master.
545
00:34:50,922 --> 00:34:54,826
(dramatic music)
546
00:35:02,067 --> 00:35:03,902
One of the tactics
to purify the race,
547
00:35:03,935 --> 00:35:06,304
was compulsory sterilization.
548
00:35:06,337 --> 00:35:09,941
Or even involuntary
euthanasia of the disabled.
549
00:35:09,975 --> 00:35:14,312
(dramatic music)
550
00:35:21,586 --> 00:35:24,790
He used the tales of
Sparta to back his views,
551
00:35:24,823 --> 00:35:27,458
who destroyed all
congenitally deformed infants
552
00:35:27,492 --> 00:35:29,895
to maintain racial purity.
553
00:35:29,928 --> 00:35:33,932
(dramatic music)
554
00:35:44,976 --> 00:35:47,112
By 1933, the law
of the prevention
555
00:35:47,145 --> 00:35:49,347
of hereditarily
diseased offspring
556
00:35:49,380 --> 00:35:51,983
included the
sterilization of people
557
00:35:52,017 --> 00:35:54,886
with schizophrenia, epilepsy
558
00:35:54,920 --> 00:35:57,055
and a whole range of conditions,
559
00:35:57,088 --> 00:35:58,957
including alcoholics.
560
00:35:58,990 --> 00:36:01,993
Between 1933 and 1939,
561
00:36:02,027 --> 00:36:05,630
360,000 people were sterilized.
562
00:36:05,663 --> 00:36:09,901
(dramatic music)
563
00:36:20,979 --> 00:36:26,051
Today, arguments about what
an Aryan was or is still rage.
564
00:36:26,084 --> 00:36:27,853
But to the Nazis,
true Aryans were
565
00:36:27,886 --> 00:36:30,856
from the Nordic lines,
the Mediterranean,
566
00:36:30,889 --> 00:36:34,793
Dinarics, Alpine and
East Baltic regions.
567
00:36:34,826 --> 00:36:39,297
(dramatic music)
568
00:36:41,232 --> 00:36:44,202
Nordics were the
highest on the list.
569
00:36:44,235 --> 00:36:47,205
Jews, were to them, a
mixed race of people
570
00:36:47,238 --> 00:36:49,908
from outside of that
scope and had no right
571
00:36:49,941 --> 00:36:51,342
to live in Europe.
572
00:36:51,376 --> 00:36:54,746
The term anti-Semite
is not strictly true,
573
00:36:54,780 --> 00:36:57,682
because other Semites
who were not Jewish,
574
00:36:57,715 --> 00:36:59,918
did not suffer the same abuse.
575
00:36:59,951 --> 00:37:04,422
(dramatic music)
576
00:37:08,593 --> 00:37:10,128
The man behind the
propaganda machine
577
00:37:10,161 --> 00:37:13,198
of Nazi Germany was
Joseph Goebbels.
578
00:37:13,231 --> 00:37:15,200
He said, "The Jew is the enemy
579
00:37:15,233 --> 00:37:18,303
"and destroyer of
the purity of blood.
580
00:37:18,336 --> 00:37:21,272
"The conscious
destroyer of our race.
581
00:37:21,306 --> 00:37:24,542
"Us socialists, we are
opponents of the Jews,
582
00:37:24,575 --> 00:37:27,212
"because we see in the Hebrews,
583
00:37:27,245 --> 00:37:29,547
"the incarnation of capitalism,
584
00:37:29,580 --> 00:37:32,350
"of the misuse of
the nations goods."
585
00:37:32,383 --> 00:37:36,621
(dramatic music)
586
00:37:39,390 --> 00:37:42,327
Goebbels became the
Minister of Enlightenment
587
00:37:42,360 --> 00:37:44,629
and he had two main tasks.
588
00:37:44,662 --> 00:37:46,631
Firstly, to ensure that nobody
589
00:37:46,664 --> 00:37:49,901
could read or see anything
against the Nazi Party.
590
00:37:49,935 --> 00:37:52,971
Secondly to make sure
the views of the party
591
00:37:53,004 --> 00:37:57,075
were marketed in as persuasive
a manner as possible.
592
00:37:57,108 --> 00:38:01,146
(dramatic music)
593
00:38:04,015 --> 00:38:07,819
He worked with both the S.S.
and Gestapo to make his point,
594
00:38:07,853 --> 00:38:11,222
along with Albert Speer,
he hunted out anything
595
00:38:11,256 --> 00:38:13,591
that was opposed
to the party line
596
00:38:13,624 --> 00:38:16,361
and presented public
displays of propaganda.
597
00:38:16,394 --> 00:38:20,465
(dramatic music)
598
00:38:24,369 --> 00:38:27,172
He set up the Reich
Chamber of Commerce,
599
00:38:27,205 --> 00:38:29,207
which dealt with
literature, arts,
600
00:38:29,240 --> 00:38:31,977
radio, music,
newspapers and film.
601
00:38:32,010 --> 00:38:35,713
(dramatic music)
602
00:38:39,250 --> 00:38:40,886
In order to work
in these fields,
603
00:38:40,919 --> 00:38:43,221
you had to be a
Reich Chamber member.
604
00:38:43,254 --> 00:38:47,158
Anybody outside the Chamber
was banned from publishing.
605
00:38:47,192 --> 00:38:49,427
How was it that a whole nation
606
00:38:49,460 --> 00:38:51,429
followed such insanity?
607
00:38:51,462 --> 00:38:54,465
The answers are actually
relatively simple.
608
00:38:54,499 --> 00:38:57,702
For decades, the Germans had
suffered intense poverty,
609
00:38:57,735 --> 00:39:01,039
high unemployment,
starvation, disease
610
00:39:01,072 --> 00:39:03,508
and death were commonplace.
611
00:39:03,541 --> 00:39:05,676
On top of this, was
a national shame
612
00:39:05,710 --> 00:39:08,313
placed upon them by the
international community,
613
00:39:08,346 --> 00:39:10,081
for World War I.
614
00:39:10,115 --> 00:39:13,952
(dramatic music)
615
00:39:16,054 --> 00:39:19,824
They had lost land,
welfare and prestige.
616
00:39:19,857 --> 00:39:22,127
Along comes a political solution
617
00:39:22,160 --> 00:39:25,463
that promises to save the
nation on every level.
618
00:39:25,496 --> 00:39:27,865
A savior rises in
the form of one man
619
00:39:27,899 --> 00:39:31,436
who can spell bind the poor
and desperate peasants.
620
00:39:31,469 --> 00:39:34,805
(dramatic music)
621
00:39:34,839 --> 00:39:36,807
The blame is placed elsewhere.
622
00:39:36,841 --> 00:39:40,445
The people are called "Chosen
Ones", "Special", "Superior".
623
00:39:40,478 --> 00:39:44,515
(dramatic music)
624
00:39:44,549 --> 00:39:47,118
It is a trick used
over the millennia
625
00:39:47,152 --> 00:39:49,654
and will no doubt be used again.
626
00:39:49,687 --> 00:39:53,324
In small ways it is utilized
in every political campaign.
627
00:39:53,358 --> 00:39:57,362
(dramatic music)
628
00:39:57,395 --> 00:40:00,131
Year after year this goes on,
629
00:40:00,165 --> 00:40:02,300
and the crowds grow ever larger.
630
00:40:02,333 --> 00:40:05,570
(dramatic music)
631
00:40:05,603 --> 00:40:08,406
In the streets, the S.A.
offered a hard stick
632
00:40:08,439 --> 00:40:09,507
to those who argued.
633
00:40:09,540 --> 00:40:12,310
(dramatic music)
634
00:40:12,343 --> 00:40:14,079
Eventually a tipping
point arrives,
635
00:40:14,112 --> 00:40:16,647
where the few have
become the majority
636
00:40:16,681 --> 00:40:19,317
and the rest must
follow like sheep.
637
00:40:19,350 --> 00:40:23,154
(dramatic music)
638
00:40:23,188 --> 00:40:24,789
Through fear of being swept up
639
00:40:24,822 --> 00:40:28,526
in the crashing wave,
leaders always like to have
640
00:40:28,559 --> 00:40:31,129
somebody else to blame,
it keeps the public
641
00:40:31,162 --> 00:40:34,632
gaze in another direction,
other than at them.
642
00:40:34,665 --> 00:40:38,403
(dramatic music)
643
00:40:38,436 --> 00:40:40,538
Hitler and his
Nazis used everybody
644
00:40:40,571 --> 00:40:42,473
that was of no
use to their plan.
645
00:40:42,507 --> 00:40:45,843
(dramatic music)
646
00:40:45,876 --> 00:40:48,513
The Jews had been a
long standing target,
647
00:40:48,546 --> 00:40:51,816
even before Hitler had
ever thought of it.
648
00:40:51,849 --> 00:40:54,152
Ever since they
arrived in Europe,
649
00:40:54,185 --> 00:40:56,321
their stay had been troubled.
650
00:40:56,354 --> 00:40:58,856
It was therefore no
great new message
651
00:40:58,889 --> 00:41:00,925
the Nazis were delivering,
652
00:41:00,958 --> 00:41:04,162
instead, they simply
reinforced the message
653
00:41:04,195 --> 00:41:05,663
and brought it up to date.
654
00:41:05,696 --> 00:41:09,700
(dramatic music)
655
00:41:10,635 --> 00:41:13,038
Much of what we see
today as horrible,
656
00:41:13,071 --> 00:41:16,041
does, in fact, have a
certain amount of logic,
657
00:41:16,074 --> 00:41:19,344
but that's where it says,
as logic of madness.
658
00:41:19,377 --> 00:41:23,581
(dramatic music)
659
00:41:25,016 --> 00:41:27,985
Sterilizing mentally
ill patients, or worse,
660
00:41:28,019 --> 00:41:30,855
removed a cost
burden on society.
661
00:41:30,888 --> 00:41:34,025
Enslaving entire races
brought a ready workforce
662
00:41:34,059 --> 00:41:37,462
to arm, cloth and
feed the pure Aryans.
663
00:41:37,495 --> 00:41:41,232
(dramatic music)
664
00:41:42,733 --> 00:41:45,803
Because there appears to be a
logical sense to such things,
665
00:41:45,836 --> 00:41:48,439
it becomes something
that can be stated
666
00:41:48,473 --> 00:41:50,007
and re-stated.
667
00:41:50,041 --> 00:41:52,477
Doing so reinforces the message
668
00:41:52,510 --> 00:41:54,412
and allows additions.
669
00:41:54,445 --> 00:41:56,214
Nobody argues with additions,
670
00:41:56,247 --> 00:41:57,582
when they have shamed themselves
671
00:41:57,615 --> 00:41:59,617
into agreeing in
the first place.
672
00:41:59,650 --> 00:42:03,954
(dramatic music)
673
00:42:06,124 --> 00:42:08,626
Once crowds of
people are convinced,
674
00:42:08,659 --> 00:42:11,629
it is a simple process
of nature that follows.
675
00:42:11,662 --> 00:42:13,898
We all want to
sing the same hymn,
676
00:42:13,931 --> 00:42:17,102
to be in harmony
with those around us,
677
00:42:17,135 --> 00:42:19,704
to march with our
brothers and sisters,
678
00:42:19,737 --> 00:42:21,239
to feel part of something.
679
00:42:21,272 --> 00:42:26,010
(dramatic music)
680
00:42:27,278 --> 00:42:30,981
But what better to feel part
of than something powerful.
681
00:42:31,015 --> 00:42:33,084
Everybody wants to be accepted,
682
00:42:33,118 --> 00:42:35,586
and to be accepted
meant joining in.
683
00:42:35,620 --> 00:42:39,824
(dramatic music)
684
00:42:41,792 --> 00:42:44,829
Add into the mix,
incredible iconography.
685
00:42:44,862 --> 00:42:46,364
Learning from the religions,
686
00:42:46,397 --> 00:42:48,366
and empires of the
past, the genius
687
00:42:48,399 --> 00:42:51,502
of the Nazi Party and
its propaganda machine,
688
00:42:51,536 --> 00:42:54,172
was to emulate the
very best bits.
689
00:42:54,205 --> 00:42:57,642
The power and might of
Rome was stolen and used.
690
00:42:57,675 --> 00:43:00,211
The zeal of the
religious was copied.
691
00:43:00,245 --> 00:43:03,114
The strength of classical
buildings was recreated.
692
00:43:03,148 --> 00:43:07,685
(dramatic music)
693
00:43:09,019 --> 00:43:10,755
The people started to get jobs,
694
00:43:10,788 --> 00:43:12,890
to feel part of a community
695
00:43:12,923 --> 00:43:13,991
and to look around them and see
696
00:43:14,024 --> 00:43:15,526
the images of what
they were being
697
00:43:15,560 --> 00:43:18,629
told they were, a master race.
698
00:43:18,663 --> 00:43:21,065
Drip, drip, this sunk in.
699
00:43:21,098 --> 00:43:24,369
Slowly, the crowds
grew in numbers.
700
00:43:24,402 --> 00:43:27,238
A master race born to lead.
701
00:43:27,272 --> 00:43:28,639
Born to enslave.
702
00:43:28,673 --> 00:43:32,777
(dramatic music)
703
00:43:35,480 --> 00:43:37,182
Forgotten was the
fact that Jews,
704
00:43:37,215 --> 00:43:40,351
Poles and homosexuals
were humans too.
705
00:43:40,385 --> 00:43:44,422
(dramatic music)
706
00:43:44,455 --> 00:43:47,825
Along with the many methods
of positive reinforcement,
707
00:43:47,858 --> 00:43:50,060
came the negative side.
708
00:43:50,094 --> 00:43:53,030
Destroy opposition,
book burnings,
709
00:43:53,063 --> 00:43:55,099
banishments, and
concentrations camps
710
00:43:55,132 --> 00:43:57,402
for politically
outspoken activists.
711
00:43:57,435 --> 00:44:01,138
(dramatic music)
712
00:44:02,173 --> 00:44:05,376
Once done it became a
self creating device.
713
00:44:05,410 --> 00:44:08,646
People followed the lead
and in their own districts,
714
00:44:08,679 --> 00:44:10,047
did the same.
715
00:44:10,080 --> 00:44:13,418
The purging of Germany
was in full swing.
716
00:44:13,451 --> 00:44:16,487
Nazi Party politics was
the new way of the world
717
00:44:16,521 --> 00:44:20,225
and the savior was nothing
less than a god himself,
718
00:44:20,258 --> 00:44:21,326
Heil Fuhrer.
719
00:44:21,359 --> 00:44:25,830
(dramatic music)
720
00:44:25,863 --> 00:44:28,032
As part of this,
Hitler did not go down
721
00:44:28,065 --> 00:44:32,002
the path of social divide
within his Aryan race concept.
722
00:44:32,036 --> 00:44:34,772
He rejected the Marxist
idea of an international
723
00:44:34,805 --> 00:44:37,942
class draw against
the rich and royal.
724
00:44:37,975 --> 00:44:40,144
The Nazi Party,
was really a party
725
00:44:40,177 --> 00:44:42,647
of the middle classes,
who had suffered
726
00:44:42,680 --> 00:44:44,615
badly during the depression,
727
00:44:44,649 --> 00:44:46,884
and wanted their status back.
728
00:44:46,917 --> 00:44:48,919
For the lower classes,
Hitler provided
729
00:44:48,953 --> 00:44:50,988
food and shelter
and recruited them
730
00:44:51,021 --> 00:44:54,825
into his "Brown Shirt Brigade",
or S.A. Storm Detachment.
731
00:44:54,859 --> 00:44:58,062
(dramatic music)
732
00:44:58,095 --> 00:45:00,231
Every class was
welcomed in some form,
733
00:45:00,265 --> 00:45:02,600
as long as they
were racially pure.
734
00:45:02,633 --> 00:45:06,237
(dramatic music)
735
00:45:06,271 --> 00:45:09,907
A singular aid to the
Nazis aims was religion.
736
00:45:09,940 --> 00:45:12,710
Hitler bent it according
to his desires.
737
00:45:12,743 --> 00:45:15,045
Germany, has always
had a distinct
738
00:45:15,079 --> 00:45:17,114
pagan history and tradition
739
00:45:17,147 --> 00:45:19,517
and mixing myths was no problem.
740
00:45:19,550 --> 00:45:23,988
(dramatic music)
741
00:45:24,021 --> 00:45:26,924
Freedom of religion was
guaranteed in the 1920
742
00:45:26,957 --> 00:45:29,126
Nazi Party Program,
743
00:45:29,159 --> 00:45:31,161
Positive Christianity
was endorsed,
744
00:45:31,195 --> 00:45:35,099
to oppose the Jewish
materialistic spirit.
745
00:45:35,132 --> 00:45:37,034
Theologians were
brought in aboard,
746
00:45:37,067 --> 00:45:38,769
to ensure that the party message
747
00:45:38,803 --> 00:45:40,237
was incorporated into the
748
00:45:40,271 --> 00:45:42,907
German Positive
Christianity Movement.
749
00:45:42,940 --> 00:45:47,545
(dramatic music)
750
00:45:47,578 --> 00:45:49,514
Get the people in their pockets,
751
00:45:49,547 --> 00:45:53,518
stomachs, hearts and spirit
and you've got them for life.
752
00:45:53,551 --> 00:45:58,122
(dramatic music)
753
00:45:58,155 --> 00:46:00,358
Jesus was not a Jew they stated,
754
00:46:00,391 --> 00:46:03,794
but a good Aryan and Adolf
Hitler was the new messiah.
755
00:46:03,828 --> 00:46:07,231
(dramatic music)
756
00:46:07,264 --> 00:46:09,300
The Jewish Old
Testament was denounced
757
00:46:09,334 --> 00:46:10,968
as Satan's Bible.
758
00:46:11,001 --> 00:46:15,039
(dramatic music)
759
00:46:15,072 --> 00:46:17,107
The Catholic Church
had opposed the Nazis,
760
00:46:17,141 --> 00:46:18,443
and so they were outlawed,
761
00:46:18,476 --> 00:46:21,312
unless they declared
lauder to the state.
762
00:46:21,346 --> 00:46:23,047
Many elements of
the Catholic Church,
763
00:46:23,080 --> 00:46:25,182
were stolen for Nazi propaganda.
764
00:46:25,215 --> 00:46:28,152
The Catholic Order of
the Teutonic Knights
765
00:46:28,185 --> 00:46:30,287
and the Knights
Rallies of the Nazis
766
00:46:30,321 --> 00:46:33,391
which mirrored the Catholic
mass are two examples.
767
00:46:33,424 --> 00:46:36,327
(dramatic music)
768
00:46:36,361 --> 00:46:39,597
Eventually, the two
sides signed a deal
769
00:46:39,630 --> 00:46:41,799
and peace between
them was found.
770
00:46:41,832 --> 00:46:44,335
It was a necessary
evil for Hitler.
771
00:46:44,369 --> 00:46:47,472
To join forces
with the Italians.
772
00:46:47,505 --> 00:46:52,109
(dramatic music)
773
00:46:52,142 --> 00:46:53,444
There cannot be any doubt,
774
00:46:53,478 --> 00:46:56,113
that the certain amount
of occult influence
775
00:46:56,146 --> 00:46:59,384
existed within the higher
levels of the Nazi Party.
776
00:46:59,417 --> 00:47:02,920
(dramatic music)
777
00:47:02,953 --> 00:47:05,490
Rosenberg and Himmler
were Neo-Pagan
778
00:47:05,523 --> 00:47:07,558
and the S.S. certainly
went down the road
779
00:47:07,592 --> 00:47:09,694
toward the Holy Grail.
780
00:47:09,727 --> 00:47:12,563
Myth and mystery
are an aura created
781
00:47:12,597 --> 00:47:14,499
in the main to attract.
782
00:47:14,532 --> 00:47:17,802
(dramatic music)
783
00:47:17,835 --> 00:47:19,804
Lightly hide a secret and people
784
00:47:19,837 --> 00:47:21,539
will want to be a part of it.
785
00:47:21,572 --> 00:47:24,509
It is a very clever device
and one used by others,
786
00:47:24,542 --> 00:47:25,876
such as the Freemasons.
787
00:47:25,910 --> 00:47:29,380
(dramatic music)
788
00:47:29,414 --> 00:47:32,049
To be allowed entry and
to be part of a secret
789
00:47:32,082 --> 00:47:34,552
makes an individual
feel special.
790
00:47:34,585 --> 00:47:38,022
(dramatic music)
791
00:47:38,055 --> 00:47:40,658
Being part of the Nazi
movement as a whole,
792
00:47:40,691 --> 00:47:42,493
was to be part of something big,
793
00:47:42,527 --> 00:47:44,462
old and iconic.
794
00:47:44,495 --> 00:47:47,231
(dramatic music)
795
00:47:47,264 --> 00:47:51,001
Others who claimed to have
spiritual secrets were outlawed.
796
00:47:51,035 --> 00:47:52,537
Freemasons included.
797
00:47:52,570 --> 00:47:55,239
(dramatic music)
798
00:47:55,272 --> 00:47:57,141
One of the prime things that any
799
00:47:57,174 --> 00:47:59,610
political party needs
to come to grips with
800
00:47:59,644 --> 00:48:01,412
is the economy.
801
00:48:01,446 --> 00:48:04,348
Hitler had little
interest in economics
802
00:48:04,381 --> 00:48:06,451
and so left the
running to others.
803
00:48:06,484 --> 00:48:08,919
He did believe that
private ownership
804
00:48:08,953 --> 00:48:11,088
should be encouraged
for technical
805
00:48:11,121 --> 00:48:12,990
innovation and growth.
806
00:48:13,023 --> 00:48:14,659
If the private company did not
807
00:48:14,692 --> 00:48:16,594
meet the goals of the party,
808
00:48:16,627 --> 00:48:18,829
then it would be nationalized.
809
00:48:18,863 --> 00:48:20,330
Under the Nazi regime,
810
00:48:20,364 --> 00:48:23,067
free competition
reduced, but Hitler
811
00:48:23,100 --> 00:48:26,403
and his Darwinian approach
allowed a certain amount.
812
00:48:26,437 --> 00:48:29,373
(dramatic music)
813
00:48:29,406 --> 00:48:31,275
The selling of land by farmers
814
00:48:31,308 --> 00:48:34,545
was prohibited to enable
agriculture to grow.
815
00:48:34,579 --> 00:48:37,915
A marketing board was set
up to control production
816
00:48:37,948 --> 00:48:40,384
and prices in a
great many areas.
817
00:48:40,417 --> 00:48:43,721
(dramatic music)
818
00:48:43,754 --> 00:48:45,456
In the propaganda arena,
819
00:48:45,490 --> 00:48:47,992
the German worker was
held in high esteem.
820
00:48:48,025 --> 00:48:50,027
They were honored by the state,
821
00:48:50,060 --> 00:48:51,796
giving the positive
reinforcement
822
00:48:51,829 --> 00:48:55,365
to the working
mindset in creating a
loyalty to the regime.
823
00:48:55,399 --> 00:48:57,535
Songs were written
that praised the
824
00:48:57,568 --> 00:48:58,969
good German workers,
825
00:48:59,003 --> 00:49:01,105
and Hitler called
them "Patriots"
826
00:49:01,138 --> 00:49:02,540
who were building Germany's
827
00:49:02,573 --> 00:49:04,475
industrial might.
828
00:49:04,509 --> 00:49:08,946
(dramatic music)
829
00:49:08,979 --> 00:49:11,448
There were good social
welfare policies,
830
00:49:11,482 --> 00:49:13,818
and volunteers were
mobilized to aid
831
00:49:13,851 --> 00:49:17,622
the impoverished, as long as
they were of the racially pure.
832
00:49:17,655 --> 00:49:21,526
(dramatic music)
833
00:49:21,559 --> 00:49:24,428
The National Socialist
People's Welfare Charity,
834
00:49:24,461 --> 00:49:29,266
would become the
largest civilian
organization in Germany.
835
00:49:29,299 --> 00:49:31,201
Putting people into work,
836
00:49:31,235 --> 00:49:33,504
reducing the effects of poverty.
837
00:49:33,538 --> 00:49:36,006
Bringing social
classes together,
838
00:49:36,040 --> 00:49:38,375
giving people hope
and constantly
839
00:49:38,408 --> 00:49:41,245
reinforcing all
of this and more,
840
00:49:41,278 --> 00:49:42,847
through news reels, music,
841
00:49:42,880 --> 00:49:47,151
newspapers and radio fostered
the feel good factor.
842
00:49:47,184 --> 00:49:51,822
(dramatic music)
843
00:49:51,856 --> 00:49:54,491
Germans were swelling in pride
844
00:49:54,525 --> 00:49:57,628
and the economy naturally
grew from the effort.
845
00:49:57,662 --> 00:50:02,132
(dramatic music)
846
00:50:03,200 --> 00:50:05,502
It was not capitalism
that Germany was under.
847
00:50:05,536 --> 00:50:08,072
Indeed, the very word
was hated by the Nazis.
848
00:50:08,105 --> 00:50:10,675
(dramatic music)
849
00:50:10,708 --> 00:50:13,878
They argued that capitalism
damaged a nation,
850
00:50:13,911 --> 00:50:15,580
because of the
international finance
851
00:50:15,613 --> 00:50:17,715
that was needed to
grow the system.
852
00:50:17,748 --> 00:50:22,052
(dramatic music)
853
00:50:22,086 --> 00:50:24,655
This left a nation
open wide to external
854
00:50:24,689 --> 00:50:27,958
control from big
businesses and the Jews.
855
00:50:27,992 --> 00:50:31,195
(dramatic music)
856
00:50:31,228 --> 00:50:33,598
As one propaganda poster stated,
857
00:50:33,631 --> 00:50:36,967
"The maintenance of a
rotten industrial system,
858
00:50:37,001 --> 00:50:39,704
"has nothing to do
with Nationalism.
859
00:50:39,737 --> 00:50:43,207
"I can love Germany,
and hate capitalism."
860
00:50:47,077 --> 00:50:49,113
If a nation was to be strong,
861
00:50:49,146 --> 00:50:50,781
then it would be
strong without the aid
862
00:50:50,815 --> 00:50:52,617
of international capitalism.
863
00:50:52,650 --> 00:50:55,119
It was a method that
sought only profit
864
00:50:55,152 --> 00:50:57,822
and that was not loyal to
the national interests.
865
00:50:57,855 --> 00:51:01,525
(dramatic music)
866
00:51:03,427 --> 00:51:06,196
Hitler said, "We are socialists,
867
00:51:06,230 --> 00:51:08,699
"we are enemies of
today's capitalistic,
868
00:51:08,733 --> 00:51:09,834
"economic system.
869
00:51:09,867 --> 00:51:12,637
"For the exploitation of
the economically weak,
870
00:51:12,670 --> 00:51:16,741
"with its unfair salaries,
with its unseemly evaluation
871
00:51:16,774 --> 00:51:19,677
"of a human being according
to wealth and property,
872
00:51:19,710 --> 00:51:22,813
"instead of responsibility
and performance.
873
00:51:22,847 --> 00:51:26,183
"And we are determined
to destroy this system,
874
00:51:26,216 --> 00:51:28,185
"under all conditions."
875
00:51:28,218 --> 00:51:32,156
(dramatic music)
876
00:51:32,189 --> 00:51:34,992
It was a Jewish
creation, he said,
877
00:51:35,025 --> 00:51:36,761
and had run its course.
878
00:51:36,794 --> 00:51:39,463
The ruling elite of the
previous Weimar Republic,
879
00:51:39,496 --> 00:51:42,833
were, according to
Hitler, "cowardly shits."
880
00:51:42,867 --> 00:51:47,371
(dramatic music)
881
00:51:47,404 --> 00:51:48,639
Hitler believed that
territories with
882
00:51:48,673 --> 00:51:51,942
valuable resources
should be taken by force
883
00:51:51,976 --> 00:51:53,778
for the good of the nation.
884
00:51:53,811 --> 00:51:57,514
(dramatic music)
885
00:51:59,349 --> 00:52:01,652
Having direct control
over such lands,
886
00:52:01,686 --> 00:52:04,655
was the only method
of economic security.
887
00:52:04,689 --> 00:52:09,727
(dramatic music)
888
00:52:10,895 --> 00:52:12,162
One of the main strengths
of the Nazi Party,
889
00:52:12,196 --> 00:52:14,398
was the use of propaganda.
890
00:52:14,431 --> 00:52:16,333
It was utilized from day one,
891
00:52:16,366 --> 00:52:19,704
and grew in scope and
imagination over time.
892
00:52:19,737 --> 00:52:22,840
(dramatic music)
893
00:52:26,677 --> 00:52:29,379
It is, in fact, a
study in itself,
894
00:52:29,413 --> 00:52:31,148
but crucial to
understanding how millions
895
00:52:31,181 --> 00:52:33,083
of normal people were hooked
896
00:52:33,117 --> 00:52:34,651
into the party line.
897
00:52:34,685 --> 00:52:38,022
(dramatic music)
898
00:52:41,491 --> 00:52:44,228
In his book, "Mein
Kampf", Adolf Hitler,
899
00:52:44,261 --> 00:52:46,330
devoted three chapters
to the subject.
900
00:52:46,363 --> 00:52:50,701
(dramatic music)
901
00:52:50,735 --> 00:52:53,103
In fact, the book
itself was a powerful
902
00:52:53,137 --> 00:52:55,372
propaganda tool and
furnished Hitler
903
00:52:55,405 --> 00:52:57,942
with an income of a millionaire.
904
00:52:57,975 --> 00:53:01,011
He never actually drew on
his income as the Fuhrer.
905
00:53:01,045 --> 00:53:04,749
(dramatic music)
906
00:53:05,916 --> 00:53:08,418
It was in the first world
war, that Hitler had learned
907
00:53:08,452 --> 00:53:11,221
the power of propaganda
when, he claims,
908
00:53:11,255 --> 00:53:13,958
he was exposed to
the excellent British
909
00:53:13,991 --> 00:53:16,093
and the poor German versions.
910
00:53:16,126 --> 00:53:19,663
(dramatic music)
911
00:53:20,630 --> 00:53:23,200
Germany, he said,
lost the war because
912
00:53:23,233 --> 00:53:25,069
of poor propaganda.
913
00:53:25,102 --> 00:53:25,870
(dramatic music)
914
00:53:25,903 --> 00:53:27,137
None of this was true.
915
00:53:27,171 --> 00:53:30,640
(dramatic music)
916
00:53:31,608 --> 00:53:33,077
Hitler stated that
propaganda must
917
00:53:33,110 --> 00:53:35,045
address itself to the masses
918
00:53:35,079 --> 00:53:37,948
and be presented
in popular form.
919
00:53:37,982 --> 00:53:39,283
It was not to be above the heads
920
00:53:39,316 --> 00:53:41,651
of the ordinary people
921
00:53:41,685 --> 00:53:44,188
and must appeal to
the imagination,
922
00:53:44,221 --> 00:53:46,690
to the emotions and
hearts of the crowd.
923
00:53:46,723 --> 00:53:49,894
(dramatic music)
924
00:53:49,927 --> 00:53:53,197
This crowd was made
up of human children
925
00:53:53,230 --> 00:53:55,065
who moved from one
idea to the next.
926
00:53:55,099 --> 00:53:58,268
(dramatic music)
927
00:53:58,302 --> 00:54:01,271
They must be told what to think.
928
00:54:01,305 --> 00:54:03,841
They are ruled by
sentiment and not logic
929
00:54:03,874 --> 00:54:07,044
and so good propaganda
must be simple
930
00:54:07,077 --> 00:54:08,879
and play on sentiment.
931
00:54:08,913 --> 00:54:11,916
(dramatic music)
932
00:54:15,652 --> 00:54:18,222
Good propaganda, he
said, does not give
933
00:54:18,255 --> 00:54:21,158
objective opinions,
it gives the one
934
00:54:21,191 --> 00:54:23,994
truth of the party line.
935
00:54:24,028 --> 00:54:25,495
The people were feeble minded,
936
00:54:25,529 --> 00:54:27,131
and quickly forget.
937
00:54:27,164 --> 00:54:30,300
(dramatic music)
938
00:54:30,334 --> 00:54:32,269
So the message
must be reinforced,
939
00:54:32,302 --> 00:54:33,737
again and again.
940
00:54:33,770 --> 00:54:37,407
(dramatic music)
941
00:54:39,209 --> 00:54:42,246
Keep the message
simple, sentimental
942
00:54:42,279 --> 00:54:44,314
and repeat in until
the very last person
943
00:54:44,348 --> 00:54:46,283
has come to grips
with the message.
944
00:54:46,316 --> 00:54:49,586
(dramatic music)
945
00:54:51,588 --> 00:54:53,257
The one message must be repeated
946
00:54:53,290 --> 00:54:55,425
and illustrated
in different ways,
947
00:54:55,459 --> 00:54:57,327
to attract the majority.
948
00:54:57,361 --> 00:55:00,797
(dramatic music)
949
00:55:02,266 --> 00:55:03,901
The daily newspaper
of the Nazi Party,
950
00:55:03,934 --> 00:55:06,536
would become a prime method
of using these tactics
951
00:55:06,570 --> 00:55:08,672
and Propaganda Minister
Joseph Goebbels,
952
00:55:08,705 --> 00:55:10,340
would take on the role.
953
00:55:10,374 --> 00:55:13,844
(dramatic music)
954
00:55:15,379 --> 00:55:17,347
In the beginning,
it had been Hitler
955
00:55:17,381 --> 00:55:19,884
speaking again and again
at public meetings,
956
00:55:19,917 --> 00:55:21,886
but as the power
of the party grew,
957
00:55:21,919 --> 00:55:24,221
more and more media
outlets were used.
958
00:55:24,254 --> 00:55:28,125
(dramatic music)
959
00:55:31,528 --> 00:55:33,964
In the run up to the war,
the propaganda machine
960
00:55:33,998 --> 00:55:37,634
established the so-called
facts of external aggression.
961
00:55:37,667 --> 00:55:41,038
They used the Treaty of
Versailles as the lynchpin.
962
00:55:41,071 --> 00:55:44,708
(dramatic music)
963
00:55:44,741 --> 00:55:46,743
They also picked on the
international threats
964
00:55:46,776 --> 00:55:50,380
of Jews, Romanies,
Bolsheviks, and homosexuals.
965
00:55:50,414 --> 00:55:55,319
(dramatic music)
966
00:55:55,352 --> 00:55:57,321
All of this is nothing new.
967
00:55:57,354 --> 00:55:58,822
All governments
prefer their people
968
00:55:58,855 --> 00:56:01,358
to worry about others,
because it stops
969
00:56:01,391 --> 00:56:03,427
them worrying about
the government.
970
00:56:03,460 --> 00:56:07,397
(dramatic music)
971
00:56:07,431 --> 00:56:09,934
Hatred against the Jews,
972
00:56:09,967 --> 00:56:12,269
instead of hatred
against the politicians.
973
00:56:12,302 --> 00:56:16,040
(dramatic music)
974
00:56:16,073 --> 00:56:19,576
It is also useful to hang
negatives on these areas.
975
00:56:19,609 --> 00:56:23,047
Calling the Jews bad
workers had two elements.
976
00:56:23,080 --> 00:56:25,715
Firstly, it blamed
them for any negative
977
00:56:25,749 --> 00:56:28,418
economic impacts and secondly,
978
00:56:28,452 --> 00:56:30,387
it introduced a feeling of guilt
979
00:56:30,420 --> 00:56:32,356
for those who were
not working hard.
980
00:56:32,389 --> 00:56:35,059
(dramatic music)
981
00:56:35,092 --> 00:56:37,962
A good German, is a
hard working German.
982
00:56:37,995 --> 00:56:42,199
(dramatic music)
983
00:56:43,500 --> 00:56:45,902
Lies were created and spread.
984
00:56:45,936 --> 00:56:48,138
Jews need the blood
of a Christian child
985
00:56:48,172 --> 00:56:49,806
was one such lie.
986
00:56:49,839 --> 00:56:52,342
Jews kidnap children
was another.
987
00:56:52,376 --> 00:56:54,878
The lies were
reinforced with imagery,
988
00:56:54,911 --> 00:56:57,181
making the Jew ugly and evil.
989
00:56:57,214 --> 00:57:00,617
(dramatic music)
990
00:57:02,819 --> 00:57:04,554
As Hitler himself had said,
991
00:57:04,588 --> 00:57:07,391
It's credibility
does not matter.
992
00:57:07,424 --> 00:57:09,059
The victor would not be asked
993
00:57:09,093 --> 00:57:11,161
whether he told the truth.
994
00:57:11,195 --> 00:57:15,599
(dramatic music)
995
00:57:15,632 --> 00:57:18,868
Strong visual imagery,
bold and direct statements,
996
00:57:18,902 --> 00:57:22,672
sentimental evocations,
stirring nationalism,
997
00:57:22,706 --> 00:57:26,410
targeted hatred,
lies and repetition,
998
00:57:26,443 --> 00:57:28,745
all worked together and in unity
999
00:57:28,778 --> 00:57:30,347
with the improving economy
1000
00:57:30,380 --> 00:57:33,017
and sense of
collective superiority.
1001
00:57:33,050 --> 00:57:37,054
(dramatic music)
1002
00:57:37,087 --> 00:57:39,589
All of these things
have been used before,
1003
00:57:39,623 --> 00:57:41,625
and will be used again.
1004
00:57:41,658 --> 00:57:45,795
(dramatic music)
1005
00:57:46,963 --> 00:57:50,534
In small parts, they
still are by all nations.
1006
00:57:50,567 --> 00:57:54,204
(dramatic music)
1007
00:57:56,573 --> 00:57:59,543
Should the right
circumstances rise again,
1008
00:57:59,576 --> 00:58:01,678
then it is quite
possible the Nazi method
1009
00:58:01,711 --> 00:58:03,280
will rise again.
1010
00:58:03,313 --> 00:58:07,317
(dramatic music)
1011
00:58:08,585 --> 00:58:11,521
During the war propaganda
was used extensively,
1012
00:58:11,555 --> 00:58:13,523
the might of the German Army,
1013
00:58:13,557 --> 00:58:15,825
the prowess of its
soldiers, the strength
1014
00:58:15,859 --> 00:58:19,096
of industry were all
positively reinforced.
1015
00:58:19,129 --> 00:58:23,600
(dramatic music)
1016
00:58:23,633 --> 00:58:26,936
On the negative side, the
enemy came under fire.
1017
00:58:26,970 --> 00:58:29,306
Allied bombers were
shown as cowards
1018
00:58:29,339 --> 00:58:30,907
who bombed civilians.
1019
00:58:30,940 --> 00:58:33,443
Americans were
portrayed as gangsters.
1020
00:58:33,477 --> 00:58:37,214
(dramatic music)
1021
00:58:38,615 --> 00:58:40,284
Germany was imagined as the sole
1022
00:58:40,317 --> 00:58:41,818
defender of Western Europe,
1023
00:58:41,851 --> 00:58:44,588
against the Bolshevik hordes.
1024
00:58:44,621 --> 00:58:48,392
(dramatic music)
1025
00:58:49,626 --> 00:58:52,529
In 1944, the Red
Cross were invited
1026
00:58:52,562 --> 00:58:54,631
to visit concentration camps,
1027
00:58:54,664 --> 00:58:57,667
to dispel rumors of
the final solution.
1028
00:58:57,701 --> 00:59:01,138
(dramatic music)
1029
00:59:03,907 --> 00:59:05,709
The event was used
as a propaganda tool,
1030
00:59:05,742 --> 00:59:08,011
and yet the actual
camp was, in fact,
1031
00:59:08,044 --> 00:59:11,615
transit camp, where Jews
lived in relative comfort.
1032
00:59:11,648 --> 00:59:15,285
(dramatic music)
1033
00:59:17,321 --> 00:59:19,623
Afterwards, most of the cast,
1034
00:59:19,656 --> 00:59:21,725
and even the film maker himself,
1035
00:59:21,758 --> 00:59:24,661
were deported to Auschwitz,
where they were murdered.
1036
00:59:24,694 --> 00:59:28,265
(dramatic music)
1037
00:59:31,835 --> 00:59:34,838
The Nazis used every
means at their disposal.
1038
00:59:34,871 --> 00:59:36,773
Newspapers were
always controlled,
1039
00:59:36,806 --> 00:59:39,176
both in Germany and
captured territories.
1040
00:59:39,209 --> 00:59:43,046
(dramatic music)
1041
00:59:45,849 --> 00:59:49,753
Public speaking was a very
large part, as was radio.
1042
00:59:49,786 --> 00:59:52,956
(dramatic music)
1043
00:59:52,989 --> 00:59:55,125
Films were very popular,
with such classics
1044
00:59:55,159 --> 00:59:59,763
as the 1935 "Triumph of the
World", being seen by millions.
1045
00:59:59,796 --> 01:00:04,901
(dramatic music)
1046
01:00:05,969 --> 01:00:07,471
A great many books were
written and published,
1047
01:00:07,504 --> 01:00:10,740
with textbooks being aligned
to the party belief system.
1048
01:00:10,774 --> 01:00:15,044
(dramatic music)
1049
01:00:15,078 --> 01:00:17,347
Control of the paper
supply, allowed the Nazis
1050
01:00:17,381 --> 01:00:20,917
to control what was and
what was not printed.
1051
01:00:20,950 --> 01:00:23,353
Books by Jews were banned.
1052
01:00:23,387 --> 01:00:25,822
(dramatic music)
1053
01:00:28,057 --> 01:00:29,759
In addition to all
of this, there were
1054
01:00:29,793 --> 01:00:31,795
comics for the
children and magazines
1055
01:00:31,828 --> 01:00:33,297
in various genres.
1056
01:00:33,330 --> 01:00:37,000
(dramatic music)
1057
01:00:37,867 --> 01:00:40,470
Radios were made
at a limited range
1058
01:00:40,504 --> 01:00:42,772
and allowed only
local transmissions.
1059
01:00:42,806 --> 01:00:46,510
(dramatic music)
1060
01:00:47,844 --> 01:00:50,314
70% of the German
population had these sets
1061
01:00:50,347 --> 01:00:53,717
and so, 70% were subject
to party propaganda,
1062
01:00:53,750 --> 01:00:55,719
on a daily basis.
1063
01:00:55,752 --> 01:00:59,189
(dramatic music)
1064
01:01:00,790 --> 01:01:01,891
Goebbels himself said,
1065
01:01:01,925 --> 01:01:03,693
that it would not
have been possible
1066
01:01:03,727 --> 01:01:06,530
to take power without
the use of the radio.
1067
01:01:06,563 --> 01:01:10,200
(dramatic music)
1068
01:01:11,968 --> 01:01:14,037
Nazi propaganda
demonized the enemy,
1069
01:01:14,070 --> 01:01:16,873
whether Britain, America,
Jew or homosexual.
1070
01:01:16,906 --> 01:01:21,144
(dramatic music)
1071
01:01:21,177 --> 01:01:23,880
It positively reinforced
the messages of the party,
1072
01:01:23,913 --> 01:01:26,149
the values of being
a good German.
1073
01:01:26,182 --> 01:01:29,152
(dramatic music)
1074
01:01:29,185 --> 01:01:31,255
The heroic dead
and great leaders
1075
01:01:31,288 --> 01:01:34,190
were constantly pushed
across as ideals.
1076
01:01:34,224 --> 01:01:37,894
(dramatic music)
1077
01:01:37,927 --> 01:01:40,530
Pride in the master
race, in the messiah
1078
01:01:40,564 --> 01:01:42,098
that was Adolf Hitler
1079
01:01:42,131 --> 01:01:45,168
and in the goal of annexing
German speaking lands.
1080
01:01:45,201 --> 01:01:49,038
(dramatic music)
1081
01:01:51,875 --> 01:01:54,978
There would be only one
victor, Nazi Germany,
1082
01:01:55,011 --> 01:01:57,647
and to win, it meant total war.
1083
01:01:57,681 --> 01:02:01,351
(dramatic music)
1084
01:02:03,587 --> 01:02:05,021
Time and again,
history throws up
1085
01:02:05,054 --> 01:02:08,091
unique individuals,
Napoleon, Caesar,
1086
01:02:08,124 --> 01:02:10,460
Alexander the Great,
Muhammad, Jesus,
1087
01:02:10,494 --> 01:02:13,763
Genghis Khan, Stalin and
of course, Adolf Hitler.
1088
01:02:13,797 --> 01:02:17,166
(dramatic music)
1089
01:02:17,200 --> 01:02:20,670
In each period there are
different circumstances,
1090
01:02:20,704 --> 01:02:22,939
but there are also similar ones.
1091
01:02:22,972 --> 01:02:25,442
It begins with a
disappointed mass.
1092
01:02:25,475 --> 01:02:28,177
People who feel they
have suffered enough.
1093
01:02:28,211 --> 01:02:31,781
(dramatic music)
1094
01:02:31,815 --> 01:02:33,750
They look around for a savior,
1095
01:02:33,783 --> 01:02:35,352
for one who will show the way
1096
01:02:35,385 --> 01:02:37,887
and have the bravery
to stand up for them.
1097
01:02:37,921 --> 01:02:41,057
(dramatic music)
1098
01:02:41,090 --> 01:02:44,060
People are like sheep,
they like to follow,
1099
01:02:44,093 --> 01:02:45,829
they want to follow.
1100
01:02:45,862 --> 01:02:47,631
Very few want to lead.
1101
01:02:47,664 --> 01:02:51,868
(dramatic music)
1102
01:02:51,901 --> 01:02:53,102
When the leaders have finished
1103
01:02:53,136 --> 01:02:55,572
fighting between
themselves for power,
1104
01:02:55,605 --> 01:02:57,307
the strongest emerges in a truly
1105
01:02:57,341 --> 01:02:58,708
Darwinian way.
1106
01:02:58,742 --> 01:03:02,712
(dramatic music)
1107
01:03:02,746 --> 01:03:05,615
"This must be the
chosen one!" people cry.
1108
01:03:05,649 --> 01:03:09,252
(dramatic music)
1109
01:03:09,285 --> 01:03:10,820
They are predisposed to listen
1110
01:03:10,854 --> 01:03:13,990
to his words and
counsel, after all,
1111
01:03:14,023 --> 01:03:16,493
it was they who sought him out.
1112
01:03:16,526 --> 01:03:21,097
(dramatic music)
1113
01:03:22,131 --> 01:03:23,967
He begins by making sense,
1114
01:03:24,000 --> 01:03:25,835
by agreeing with the masses,
1115
01:03:25,869 --> 01:03:27,371
by telling them
how they have been
1116
01:03:27,404 --> 01:03:29,339
abused for too long.
1117
01:03:29,373 --> 01:03:30,740
The crowd rejoices.
1118
01:03:30,774 --> 01:03:32,308
They like what they hear.
1119
01:03:32,342 --> 01:03:36,079
(dramatic music)
1120
01:03:38,648 --> 01:03:41,485
He then shows them why
they have been suffering,
1121
01:03:41,518 --> 01:03:43,353
who and what is to blame.
1122
01:03:43,387 --> 01:03:45,989
(dramatic music)
1123
01:03:46,022 --> 01:03:49,092
It's the Romans, it's the
royals, it's the Jews.
1124
01:03:49,125 --> 01:03:51,194
It doesn't matter who,
as long as there's
1125
01:03:51,227 --> 01:03:53,397
a seed of truth in it somewhere.
1126
01:03:53,430 --> 01:03:57,200
(dramatic music)
1127
01:03:57,233 --> 01:03:59,102
That seed is grown slowly,
1128
01:03:59,135 --> 01:04:01,471
and evidence is
found or created.
1129
01:04:01,505 --> 01:04:04,941
(dramatic music)
1130
01:04:04,974 --> 01:04:06,743
The anger of the
mob turns towards
1131
01:04:06,776 --> 01:04:08,277
those taking the blame.
1132
01:04:08,311 --> 01:04:11,415
"But what do we do?"
shouts the crowd.
1133
01:04:11,448 --> 01:04:13,783
The messiah responds.
1134
01:04:13,817 --> 01:04:15,719
"Come to me, we will take back
1135
01:04:15,752 --> 01:04:17,454
"what is rightfully ours.
1136
01:04:17,487 --> 01:04:20,390
"The Holy Land, the
Grail, the power."
1137
01:04:20,424 --> 01:04:23,693
(dramatic music)
1138
01:04:24,961 --> 01:04:26,763
Drip, drip, the
propaganda builds up
1139
01:04:26,796 --> 01:04:28,865
the concepts of a chosen people,
1140
01:04:28,898 --> 01:04:30,900
and a hatred towards the enemy.
1141
01:04:30,934 --> 01:04:34,303
(dramatic music)
1142
01:04:34,337 --> 01:04:36,072
A tipping point
emerges, when all
1143
01:04:36,105 --> 01:04:37,407
must follow the leader.
1144
01:04:37,441 --> 01:04:40,477
(dramatic music)
1145
01:04:40,510 --> 01:04:43,246
At this point there is
no stopping the movement.
1146
01:04:43,279 --> 01:04:45,482
It is now a massive
organic machine.
1147
01:04:45,515 --> 01:04:49,152
(dramatic music)
1148
01:04:49,185 --> 01:04:52,388
If it is a religion, then it
may continue for millennia.
1149
01:04:52,422 --> 01:04:55,124
If it is nationalism,
then it will eventually
1150
01:04:55,158 --> 01:04:57,627
fall as all empires do.
1151
01:04:57,661 --> 01:04:59,829
(dramatic music)
1152
01:04:59,863 --> 01:05:01,498
Could it happen again?
1153
01:05:01,531 --> 01:05:03,900
The question is
simply answered, yes,
1154
01:05:03,933 --> 01:05:04,934
and it will.
1155
01:05:04,968 --> 01:05:07,403
(dramatic music)
1156
01:05:07,437 --> 01:05:09,205
Society and civilizations
repeat history
1157
01:05:09,238 --> 01:05:12,576
again and again and have done
so for thousands of years.
1158
01:05:12,609 --> 01:05:16,580
(grating music)
1159
01:05:19,716 --> 01:05:21,651
We create the circumstances,
1160
01:05:21,685 --> 01:05:23,487
on a cyclical basis.
1161
01:05:23,520 --> 01:05:25,889
Rise and fall,
riches and poverty,
1162
01:05:25,922 --> 01:05:28,357
financial growth
and ultimate crash.
1163
01:05:28,391 --> 01:05:33,362
(fast paced electronic music)
1164
01:05:34,330 --> 01:05:35,865
Once we are in the
time of crash, beware,
1165
01:05:35,899 --> 01:05:38,668
for the masses become
hungry and angry.
1166
01:05:38,702 --> 01:05:41,871
Right wing and
nationalistic fascism rise.
1167
01:05:41,905 --> 01:05:45,675
(fast paced electronic music)
1168
01:05:45,709 --> 01:05:47,343
Before the second world war,
1169
01:05:47,376 --> 01:05:49,679
a great many such
groups emerged,
1170
01:05:49,713 --> 01:05:51,515
not just in Nazi Germany,
1171
01:05:51,548 --> 01:05:52,949
but across the globe.
1172
01:05:52,982 --> 01:05:57,487
(fast paced electronic music)
1173
01:05:59,088 --> 01:06:01,491
Unless the crash is
quickly turned around,
1174
01:06:01,525 --> 01:06:03,993
then somebody,
somewhere, may just get
1175
01:06:04,027 --> 01:06:05,862
an idea in his head.
1176
01:06:05,895 --> 01:06:09,365
(fast paced electronic music)
1177
01:06:09,398 --> 01:06:12,301
He may just start to come
out into the public gaze
1178
01:06:12,335 --> 01:06:13,837
and he may just
be able to utilize
1179
01:06:13,870 --> 01:06:16,773
his power of
mesmerism upon them.
1180
01:06:16,806 --> 01:06:21,344
(fast paced electronic music)
1181
01:06:21,377 --> 01:06:23,479
Adolf Hitler learned well.
1182
01:06:23,513 --> 01:06:25,549
He understood the
mind of the crowd.
1183
01:06:25,582 --> 01:06:28,752
He practiced the art
of the hypnotic speech.
1184
01:06:28,785 --> 01:06:31,420
(fast paced electronic music)
1185
01:06:31,454 --> 01:06:34,157
He had his finger on
the pulse of the people.
1186
01:06:34,190 --> 01:06:36,593
(fast paced electronic music)
1187
01:06:36,626 --> 01:06:38,194
He was a man of his time.
1188
01:06:38,227 --> 01:06:40,530
(fast paced electronic music)
1189
01:06:40,564 --> 01:06:43,232
Is there another Adolf
Hitler out there now?
1190
01:06:43,266 --> 01:06:46,736
Is he waiting in the wings,
unaware of his destiny?
1191
01:06:46,770 --> 01:06:49,606
(fast paced electronic music)
1192
01:06:49,639 --> 01:06:51,741
And what will we do?
1193
01:06:51,775 --> 01:06:52,842
(fast paced electronic music)
1194
01:06:56,079 --> 01:07:00,249
(quite peaceful music)
1195
01:07:06,790 --> 01:07:10,827
(dramatic music)
