Adolf Hitler born April 20 1889 he

commits suicide on April 30 1945.

[Music]

how was the Hitler phenomenon possible

in mineconf Hitler writes

the first world war was the most

unforgettable and most Sublime moment in

my Earthly existence

for four years Corporal Hitler has been

a courier carrying messages for

bavaria's 16th Infantry Regiment

he runs from trench to trench delivering

the soldiers their orders

it's a dangerous assignment

he is decorated with the Iron Cross

he will always wear his Iron Cross

underneath his Nazi party insignia

[Music]

during the first world war Hitler learns

utter disdain for the value of human

life as do many other soldiers in this

terrible conflict

Hitler gradually becomes a fanatical

nationalist

also in the trenches the confused idea

is born that one day he will bear

witness and stand up for his companions

and misery

in other words get into politics

Hitler will always know how to

effectively exploit his camaraderie with

fellow War veterans

as he does 15 years later in this speech

to workers at the Siemens Factory

a succession of events would accelerate

his political engagement

on the night of October 13 1918 a gas

shell attack makes him temporarily blind

evacuated to a field Hospital and then

to Germany

meanwhile at the front

the Germans are pushed back and many are

taken prisoner

hatred of the French is omnipresent

by the Victor's injurious Acts

here a German soldier's last possession

his pipe is stolen by a French soldier

Prisoners the soldiers of the Kaiser

German Emperor Wilhelm II try to

maintain their dignity as their marched

through the same French and Belgian

Villages they've laid waste to over the

last four years

the rest of the German Army begins its

retreat in good military order with its

weapons

these soldiers will keep the bitterness

of a defeat that is portrayed by extreme

right-wing propagandists as being caused

by Germany's unpatriotic elements those

who negotiated with the Enemy

at this moment an event occurs in

Hitler's life that he will always

consider a turning point

he slowly recovers and eventually

regains his sight in the possible

Military Hospital North of Berlin where

the Army treats cases of shell shock

Hitler recounts

that when he learned of The Emperor's

abdication

the end of the German monarchy in favor

of a Republic and the Armistice of

November 11 1918 that marked Germany's

defeat he heard an inner voice

he States this voice called me to free

the German people and to restore

Germany's greatness

[Music]

Hitler will never cease to exaggerate

this event transforming the hospital

into a veritable Temple

dedicated to his miraculous mission

[Music]

above his bust these lines from mineconf

will be engraved

and so it was that I decided to go into

politics

to this hallucination Hitler will add

his obsession

for him

the German eagle was stabbed by the Jews

in Mein Kampf he writes if we had just

once during the war used poison gas on

12 or 15 000 of those Hebrew corrupters

of the people

the sacrifice of millions of men would

not have been in vain

already at the end of 1916 the heads of

the Imperial Army Field Marshal

Hindenburg and his adjutant General

ludendorff and an ill-considered

ultra-nationalist gesture ordered an

account of the Jewish Soldier suspected

of unpatriotic behavior

anti-Semitism goes back centuries and

knows no borders

dogged by this Destiny throughout

history the Jews whether poor and living

in ghettos or assimilated in Bourgeois

periodically becomes scapegoats in times

of crisis

in Russia at the beginning of the 20th

century they have been victims of

pogroms massacres many who fled the

persecution settled in Germany

the big question is

did Hitler himself have Jewish blood

one of the Nazi regime's most closely

guarded secret is that he's unable to

prove the opposite

he doesn't know who one of his

grandfathers was

the identity of his father's father is

unknown

Hitler's grandmother eventually married

a Miller Johann Hitler

who recognized the son giving him his

name

according to Nazi law Hitler doesn't

meet the so-called protection of the

blood criteria imposed on the Germans

who to avoid persecution must prove that

none of their four Grandparents were

Jewish Hitler cannot prove that he isn't

Jewish in Nazi terms

[Music]

April 20 1889 Adolf Hitler is born to a

Catholic Family in what is then the

austro-hungarian empire in buonao Amin a

small town on the border with the German

Empire

his father is a customs officer a

widower

he remarried his much younger cousin

making it an interbred Union

[Music]

during Hitler's Early Childhood the

family moves often due to his father's

changing assignments along the border

model student during primary school at

eight he is an altar boy in this

monastery

he sings and admires the priest's

self-sacrifice

and sense of mission

[Music]

he notices a strange cross upon the

monastery's pediment it prefigures the

swastika which will become the Nazi

emblem

Hitler will always remember the

monastery's cross as if it were

important of his destiny

[Applause]

for centuries the swastika has been a

beneficial symbol of the Perpetual

movement of humanity

in the Nazis deviant interpretation it

becomes the symbol of the Aryan race a

mythical pure race of tall blue-eyed

blondes to which Hitler will add a

helmet

Hitler was in conflict with his father

who wanted him to become a civil servant

but Hitler will not go far in school

arrogantly considering himself above the

education system

at 19 after his mother's death he leaves

for Vienna he's not predestined to go

into politics since he dreams of

attending the Boze Arts Academy

thanks to his modest inheritance he's

able to live the Bohemian artist's life

Vienna at this time is one of Europe's

intellectual centers

Hitler discovers the upper-crust

lifestyle

against which

the red flags of the Socialist activists

are unfurled

having left his home Province he

discovers the many communities living in

the austro-hungarian capital

checks polls Italians croatians and Jews

he will later state it appeared to me

like the Incarnation of racial

profanation

he makes a try at the bozart's entrance

exam that he barely prepares for because

despite all his ambition he has little

courage

he isn't admitted

the period that follows is a difficult

one it's just before the Great War he

lives in a boarding house for men and

survives by copying postcards for

tourists

Nazis make sure it's widely viewed their

but one thing is certain Hitler was

indeed there he fought in the War and

the war transformed him

after four years with his regiment he

returns to Munich to a Germany in the

throes of revolution

Hitler is 30 years old a decisive period

opens up before him

above all he wants to remain in the Army

which guarantees order instability for

the new regime of the Social Democrat

president

Marxist revolutionary movement the

Spartacus League

who are trying to seize power like the

Bolsheviks did in Russia two years

before

the Army crushes them aided by volunteer

nationalists the free Corps a spawning

ground for the future Nazi party

Hitler serves in the army with great

zeal

his primary goal is to keep a roof over

Hitler's commanding officer notes

he's a natural-born orator

his fanaticism and populism captivates

listeners forcing one to think as he

does

Hitler says at that moment I understood

that I knew how to speak

next he would learn to use theatrical

effects and how to dominate his audience

as shown in this 1933 film of which we

have kept the original soundtrack

[Applause]

from his Beginnings Hitler knew how to

escalate intensity and to feed his

listeners exactly what they wanted to

hear

in 1919 he denounces the national Shame

of the Treaty of Versailles

after months of discussions among

themselves The Victors above all France

England and the United States impose

harsh peace terms on Germany

as if it alone were responsible for the

massive Carnage

[Music]

Treaty of Versailles signed on June 28

1919 condemns Germany to pay enormous

reparations which will create a great

burden on the economy and will become a

central issue in Germany's popular

grievances

Germany also sees 13 of its territories

and one tenth of its population

amputated

once again becomes French and the Ryan's

entire Left Bank is demilitarized

a German film of the period denounces

The Carving up of the national territory

the worst is the separation of East

Prussia from Germany

to reconstitute Poland partitioned in

the 18th century giving it access to the

Sea

a Polish Corridor will be the issue that

ultimately leads to the Second World War

for many Germans the Allies conditioned

that paramilitary anti-revolutionary

forces be disarmed adds insult to injury

they witnessed the destruction of their

submarines

their battleships

and their Air Force

Germany's army is reduced to 100 000 men

Hitler against his wishes is demobilized

into this Bavarian region in upheaval

where the right-wing extremist groups

proliferate

here he is filmed for the first time

during a demonstration of the d.a.p

the German Workers Party

as early as 1919 the Army has ordered

him to infiltrate and spy on this group

lacking better prospects he remains a

member and develops into a full-time

political agitator

politically Bavaria is on the far right

whereas power in Berlin is with the

center leftist Weimar Republic named

after the city where the new

constitution has just been voted into

law

[Music]

Hitler transformed into a died in the

signatories of the Armistice and of the

shameful their side dictat

sentiments are shared by the Army

especially by the War veterans who

Gather in Munich's large beer Halls one

of these is the Burger brow killer where

on August 13 1920 Hitler makes his

political debut with a lecture entitled

why are we anti-Semitic

for Hitler the answer is beyond his

visceral hatred for the Jews since the

German defeat

anti-Semitism is the best strategy for

attracting nationalist militants

[Music]

Hitler galvanizes the radicals of his

small right-wing extremist group

they make him their leader and buy him a

car evidence of his importance

Hitler changes the party's name

associating the terms National and

socialism

his goal is to create a wider appeal and

to show his anti-capitalist stance

the d.a.p will now be the nsdap

the National Socialist German Workers

Party

the abbreviated form of which is Nazi

in his small headquarters in a Munich

Beer Hall he draws his party's emblem

he will write in Mein Kampf

to protect their meetings he creates the

obtains from a stock of the former

austro-hungarian customs office

his radicalism increases the party's

membership from 2000 to 20 000.

multiplying by ten in one year

he succeeds thanks to the help of a

racist sect the tool Society named for a

legendary Nordic Kingdom

its members finance a newspaper with

funds of questionable origin

this publication becomes the official

Nazi party newspaper under a new title

the racist people's Observer

its editor Alfred Rosenberg is a member

of the tool society and acts as the

theoretician of anti-Semitism confused

if not to say deranged he'll be an

important inspirer of the showa

another former member of the tool

Society during his student days is

Rudolf Hess he'll become Hitler's

secretary and one of his most servile

and fanatical accomplices

another addition to the early militants

ranks is a World War one hero Airman

Gering one of Germany's most celebrated

fighter pilots like many other veterans

he has difficulty re-adapting to

civilian life

in Hitler he finds someone who

articulates his own anti-revolutionary

ideas

he'll become the number two of the Nazi

regime and an instigator of the

concentration camps

in 1922 in a political March Hitler

places gang next to General ludendorff

still wearing his spiked helmet to show

veterans that their great wartime Chief

supports the Nazis

ludendorff one of the men responsible

for prolonging the war is convinced that

the politicians denied him his victory

this theory is shared by many German

generals ludendorff's adhesion to

nationalist ideas opens up New

Perspectives for Hitler

everything seems possible

in Italy the extreme right Benito

Mussolini's fascist party has just

seized power

March 10 1923 a French officer

Lieutenant Pierre colpan of the 17th

infantry battalion is assassinated

his coffin travels home through towns

and French officers slap any Germans who

don't remove their hats

indelible images captured forever will

be profitably exploited by the Nazis

such as the 13 crop Factory workers

killed by the French on March 31st

and the execution of Saboteur Albert

schlagater the Nazis newspaper depicts

him as a martyr

in addition it accuses African soldiers

in the French army of having raped

German girls once in power Hitler has

The Offspring of these unions sterilized

and will take further cruel revenge in

1940.

Hitler denounces the weakness of the

government that allows the French to

treat Germany like one of its colonies

Germans are cold

Germans are hungry

[Music]

they try to steal coal back from the

French

the Weimar Republic must import its goal

and pay the Striking miners

these enormous expenses prompt the men

to begin printing huge quantities of new

money

the mark depreciates dramatically one

day Germans are paying 1 billion marks

for a kilo of potatoes and the next day

460 billion for a loaf of bread

[Music]

in this ferment of off the charts

inflation and unemployment the Bavarian

extreme right mobilizes with General

ludendorff as its leader

thanks to ludendorff Hitler manages to

unite all the veterans groups embittered

by the defeat

he wants to attempt a pooch a coup

d'etat to march on Munich and then

Berlin

Hitler says our people are subjected to

such extreme economic conditions that if

we don't act now they'll change over to

join the Communists

thanks to their accomplices in the Army

the Nazis succeed in procuring guns

however after hesitating the Army and

police decide to remain loyal to the

legal government

for Hitler in Munich all seems lost

but he holds on to the wild fantasy that

he and ludendorff can still bring the

population along with them

so he orders his troops to advance on

the threatening police barricades

[Music]

the two camps are face to face with

Hitler in his white coat in the middle

in fact this is a Nazi photo montage

intended to fabricate the myth of

Hitler's courage in reality he was

cringing behind a bodyguard who was

killed in the shooting for the police

opened fire putting an end to Hitler's

1923 pooch

10 years later after taking power Hitler

will institute a funeral celebration

resembling a Nordic Pagan right every

November 9th in commemoration of the 14

Nazis killed during the pooch attempt

their names are called out every year

in response thousands of Nazis and

Hitler Youth shout present

power leader

close

Hitler has a mausoleum built in Munich

and Germans are obliged to parade

through it their arms raised in memory

of those Hitler calls the November

martyrs

they must salute the mausoleum when

strolling past it

even on bicycle

[Music]

further exploiting the pooch myth Hitler

creates yet another grandiose Nazi

ceremony

the bloody flag

at each Year's party Congress in

Nuremberg he takes the sacred

blood-stained relic of the pooch and

with exaggerated and forceful movements

he touches it to the new Nazi army

battalion's flags as if to consecrate

them

this quasi mystical celebration is part

and parcel of the Nazi's science of

falsifying history

in fact Hitler had badly prepared his

Pooch improvised and haphazard

he showed himself to be impulsive

ignoring the possible consequences

all of these staged ceremonies occult a

fiasco which could have put an end to

the Nazi Adventure

for the pooch failed

Hitler was arrested

and the National Socialist Party banned

[Music]

the great Austrian author Stefan zweig

wrote

thus in that year of 1923 the swastikas

and Stormtroopers vanished

Hitler's name sunk into Oblivion again

[Music]

three months after Hitler's arrest

the trial of the poochists opens in

Munich

Hitler is accused of high treason and

the murder of four police officers

crimes punishable by the death penalty

ludendorff

who has not even been incarcerated

arrives at the trial in a luxury car

with his attorneys

he is freed without further Ado out of

respect for his glorious past and

because he continues to have influential

supporters

he will be acquitted

Hitler who has threatened to kill

himself now realizes that the court is

not as hostile as he thought

he draws on all his oratory talents

launching his usual fiery invective

towards the government and the Jews

[Music]

trial becomes an unexpected pulpit the

judge is becoming more and more

sympathetic and the public thronging to

get in

as a result the verdict is much less

severe than Hitler feared

he's condemned to five years in a

relatively comfortable cell

with a view of the countryside

the conditions of his imprisonment

resemble a stay in a hotel in that he is

free to receive Nazi sympathizers at any

time of the day

one supporter even brought a laurel

crown for the man he calls

the Incarnation of the nation's Ardent

desire

Hitler is free to receive any news

Publications he wants and he even begins

reading marks

Rudolf Hess condemned to 15 months for

his role in the pooch has the

neighboring cell and joins the small

group who essentially discuss infighting

between the right-wing parties who are

tearing each other apart Hitler's return

is becoming a necessity

accomplices on the outside devise a

strategy to have his release brought

forward

Hitler realizes he'll soon be freed and

he feels the need to expound his

singular view of life and his political

principles

he dictates his book to Rudolph Hess who

types it on a machine provided by a

banker and on paper brought by Winifred

devagner the daughter-in-law of Hitler's

idolized composer

like Wagner Winifred is a racist and

deeply admires her good friend Adolf

Nazi journalists rewrite his hurriedly

written manuscript

Hitler wants to name the book

four and a half years of struggle

against lies foolishness and cowardice

but this title is considered too long

and is changed too Mein Kampf my

struggle

even Rewritten the book remains

unreadable

and yet it contains Hitler's entire

world view and the Nazis will make it

their new Bible

transcribed like the holy scriptures

and bound like the great medieval

manuscripts

Hitler rants about the struggle of the

master race the tall blonde Aryan

Germanic race

the necessary conquest of its living

space the eradication of Communism and

the crushing of France and the Jews who

in Hitler's eyes do not even belong to

the human species

[Music]

at the time many readers judged the book

to be errant Madness

fatal error on the contrary it should

have been read carefully and taken

seriously for its at the root of the

deaths of 50 million human beings

[Applause]

Hitler is released from prison on

December 20th 1924.

for good behavior

now he dreams he's a successor to the

great founders of the German Nation such

as Bismarck

he claims

my time in prison brought me confidence

optimism and a belief that nothing could

ever shake me again

and yet his journey through the

political desert is only beginning

is a failure selling barely twenty

thousand copies

there spends much of his time in a

Bavarian Mountain Village

bertiscotten where he rents a small

Chalet

he meets a pretty 16 year old waitress

Maria heiter and they have a brief

affair

she wants to marry Hitler he refuses

suggesting she be his shadow mistress

he'll ask the same of the other women he

seduces so that nothing can interfere

with his mission

she leaves him

he writes the second volume of mineconf

it deals mainly with this project of

expanding Germany's living space into

Russia

sales of the book are average

until his taking of power in 1933

when Hitler does take power Mein Kampf

will almost be required reading

the German State offering it to couples

as a wedding gift

[Music]

if it isn't on your bookshelf

you could be denounced by your hired

help

it will be distributed by Krupp steel

Executives to their meritorious workers

by hooker by crook over 80 million

copies of mineconf will be sold and it's

translated into countless languages

the royalty payments are astronomical

making Hitler a very rich man

on February 27 1925 Hitler makes his

political comeback in the famous Munich

Beer Hall where he launched the pooch

reaffirming his leadership of the Nazi

party

the next day an event occurs that will

advance his cause

the very incarnation of the new German

democracy the first president of the

Weimar Republic Social Democrat

Friedrich Ebert dies at 57 from a badly

treated case of appendicitis

Germans feel the law strongly

as his government had succeeded in

cutting inflation and the economy was

recovering well

Germans must elect a new president and

the swastika makes its comeback during

the political campaign

the ban on the Nazi party has recently

been lifted as it's no longer considered

dangerous

in fact

ludendorff the candidate of the United

extreme right parties obtains barely one

percent of the vote

ludendorf's failure is what Hitler

secretly desires as it disposes of his

main rival for whom he half-heartedly

campaigned

revealing his political Instinct says we

gave him the finishing blow

the man the Germans elect is the other

Great War Commander Marshall Von

Hindenburg

[Music]

[Applause]

in 1870 as a young officer he was

present at the proclamation of the

second German Empire in Versailles Hall

of Mirrors

he reassures the Army and unites the

conservatives which worries the left and

the rest of Europe

Hitler will lie and wait

the Nazi party succeeds in spreading its

cancer throughout Germany

its membership reaching 170 000.

Hitler transforms his Stormtroopers into

a variable private Army

they are younger and younger but let

there be no mistake this paramilitary

order is composed of brutal Fanatics

killers

their new uniform earns them the

nickname

the brown shirts

it imitates Mussolini's black shirts who

some years before marched so

successfully on Rome

another symbol borrowed from Mussolini

is the Roman salute the outstretched arm

accompanied by a guttural cry in

Mussolini's case it's Viva El Duce

with Hitler it becomes Heil Hitler Long

Live Hitler

[Applause]

the sa uniform is created by a select

team of German designers

among the manufacturers is Stuttgart

designer Hugo Boss who promotes it in

his ad campaigns

Hugo Boss a Nazi party member will also

produce the terrifying black uniforms of

the SS the shootstuffle

Hitler's new protection unit

as well as the Hitler Youth uniforms

this is all very costly

the money mainly comes from Rank and

file Nazi Party members

and from Rich sympathizers such as steel

magnate Fritz titson whose steel plants

are ready to forge new guns

they also include Henry Ford the world's

largest car manufacturer

the anti-semitic Henry Ford will

strongly support the Nazis by giving

them all the profits of Ford's auto

sales in Germany

thank you in addition Ford each year on

Hitler's birthday makes a personal

donation of fifty thousand dollars a

hefty sum in those days

Ford will be the first Foreigner the

Nazis decorate with the order of the

German eagle

this is how the Nazis pay for their

enormous party congresses and their best

propaganda operations meant to influence

public opinion and Galvanize their

followers

[Applause]

the Nazi Banner proclaims Deutschland

Germany awakened

in 1927 Hitler chooses Nuremberg a Nazi

Bastion and a medieval city of

historical significance with a wagnerian

Allure which brings out its connection

to the Germanic Warlords of the Dark

Ages

Hitler calls Nuremberg his ideological

capital

he also wants to highlight the party's

submission to the fuhrer its leader

this personality cult will be enhanced

through the work of his personal

photographer Heinrich Hoffman

[Music]

always at the center of events a Nazi

from the start a virtuoso of the Leica

he is always close to his master

Hoffman takes a series of surprising

photographs intended to show the great

Leader's personal side

to win over female voters

as far as the Nazis can grasp their

preferences

in Hoffman's small Munich photography

shop Hitler as always inspired by Wagner

and fascinated by opera singers

theatrical movements studies a whole

range of gestures conveying domination

which he will use in the first big Nazi

rallies

[Music]

Hitler States

the masses are feminine and stupid only

emotion and hatred can keep them under

control

[Music]

you miss her

birthday hatred

[Applause]

[Music]

this is exactly what the essay is sowing

throughout Germany beginning with the

Jewish neighborhoods in large cities

foreign

is a witness to the birth of violence

he writes

it was the fascist method but in the

German style carried out with military

precision

at the blow of a whistle the essay would

leap from the trucks with lightning

speed

pull up with their billy clubs

and at the sound of another whistleblow

they would jump back into their trucks

and race away as fast as they had come

[Music]

but the intimidation and Terror produce

sparse results

in Germany's 1928 legislative elections

the Nazis obtained only 2.6 percent of

the vote less than 1 million ballots

the Communists received three times as

many the central Party 4 million and the

right 5 million the social Democrats

come out on top with 10 million votes

yet in the reichstag Berlin's Parliament

this 2.6 percent of ballots mainly from

rural areas translates into 12 new Nazi

deputies

they create quite an impact as almost

all are wearing essay uniforms

among them making his comeback is Airman

Gathering

wounded in the lower stomach during the

pooch he's gained a lot of weight and

become addicted to morphine

it is finally Yosef Goebbels grand

entrance into politics he closely

corresponds to a maxim formulated by

Nietzsche in the previous century

fanaticism is the only form of willpower

to which the weak and the irresolute can

rise

Goebbels is hardly the tall blonde Aryan

type he's short limps and has suffered

from an inferiority complex since

childhood due to his club foot however

his diabolical cunning compensates for

this handicap

he's a rebel against Society who flirted

with Marxism until the decisive meeting

of his life with Adolf Hitler

Goebbels then saw the light

by refusing to publish his manuscripts

the Jews have prevented him from

becoming a great writer and the

Communists are responsible for the chaos

in society

he States we enter the high stock like

wolves into the Sheep pen

but it's impossible at this moment for

either the public or the deputies to

grasp the significance of his statement

the general Public's view of the Nazis

is expressed in the newspaper the phone

Hitler has no coherent ideas or thoughts

Hitler is a dangerous madman he's

arrived at this point by following the

wartime ideology to the letter

interpreting it in A Primitive way as if

we lived in the times of the Barbarian

invasions at the fall of the Roman

Empire

[Applause]

Germany is not worried it would surely

take a major catastrophe for Hitler to

have any future in politics

historian Ian Kershaw writes without the

Great Depression without the crash of

1929 without the disintegration of the

bourgeoisie the Liberals and the

conservatives Hitler would have remained

a nut case on the political sidelines

but Hitler

will never abandon his mission
