playwright bear told breast will call

the resistible rise of Adolf Hitler

[Applause]

the devastating new economic crisis

originating in the United States has

caused Havoc throughout the world

particularly in Germany

one after the other factories closed

their doors and the number of unemployed

reaches the astounding figure of 6

million

out of despair

many Germans turned to the Nazis or to

the Communists who also have their

paramilitary troops complete with

uniforms

[Music]

Communists and Nazis Clash violently in

all the elections that follow

[Music]

[Applause]

Hitler provokes disorder

while at the same time claiming to be

the only man capable of stopping it

this tactic of blackmail proves

effective

Hitler rallies the small business owners

and homeowners to his cause by

denouncing the threat of the red plague

the egalitarian marxists who also strike

fear into the hearts of the peasantry

the result is astonishing

100 elected Nazis enter the heistag the

German Parliament Hitler is now the

leader of the country's second political

party after the social Democrats

[Music]

yet the upper classes who despise Hitler

aren't particularly worried

Stefan zweig wrote

to them power had always been the

reserve of the berries the princes and

those with a university education

nothing blind to the German

intellectuals as much as pride in their

culture

[Music]

and in the meantime Hitler's rise

continues

in just a year it comes to dominate The

Extreme right in Germany veterans

associations such as the steel helmets

with a half a million members will have

to obey his orders

[Music]

behind his domineering posturing Hitler

hides a terrible secret he has just

emerged from a scandal which might have

finished him

rumors of a personal drama circulate in

the Press

he had conceived a passion for his own

niece Gali hoba aged 23.

he loved her irrationally possessively

she has just committed suicide

she was living with him in his Munich

apartment

she confided to a friend

my uncle is a monster

no one could imagine what he demands of

me

she wanted to leave him

and now she is dead

a press campaign is launched against him

accusing him of sexual perversion and

even of having Kelly murdered

dreamly depressed Hitler threatens to

kill himself as well

his worried Entourage decides to act

as photographer Heinrich Hoffman

introduced him to one of his secretaries

she resembles Kelly

her name is Eva Brown

she's 19 and already quite worldly

she fits the bill

she's captivated by the Nazi party

Leader's popularity

Hitler will make her his new Shadow

mistress

he declares himself a bachelor married

to Germany to gain the sympathy of

female voters

German women already have the right to

vote thanks to the feminist movement

Eva Brown is above all a sports

enthusiast

dreams of becoming an actress and

starring in Tarzan movies in Hollywood

at her side Hitler recovers his

combativeness as a political animal

at a time when the end of the Mandate of

Germany's president Hindenburg is

Drawing Near

Hitler is among the candidates to

succeed him in 1932.

hardly 10 years after his attempted

Pooch and incarceration Hitler is on the

verge of becoming president of Germany

Germans are subjected to an intensive

poster campaign

Nazi propaganda Chief Joseph goebbel

says

let us be grandiose

he devises an ultra-modern election

campaign using airplanes a European

advertising opportunity

Hitler wearing a leather helmet

sets off on a tour of some 100 German

towns where he can gauge his popularity

his Pilot Hans Bower recalled we flew in

all kinds of weather even in storms

canceling a rally was out of the

question

people ended by losing their fear of

flying

Hans Bauer's conclusion

Hitler contributed to the expansion of

air traffic

Goebbels invents the slogan the fuhrer

above Germany

he forges the myth of Hitler the Supreme

savior during these aerial hustings

carefully filmed and then projected all

over the country

Goebbels cannot relax yet the campaign

costs a lot and the industrial Barons

are still wary of Hitler's violent

methods

the Nazis must charge everyone who comes

to listen to Hitler the equivalent of

one Euro

it doesn't discourage them on the

contrary

a witness Von spawn describes his

reaction

suddenly felt Hitler's eyes on me

and it affected me for the rest of my

life

Hitler brings together 100 000 berliners

disappointment

president Hindenburg refuses to name him

Chancellor head of the government

Hindenburg tells Hitler

before God my conscience and the

Fatherland

I cannot hand over power to a party as

intolerant as yours

nevertheless Hindenburg offers him a

role in the government

but Hitler doesn't consider himself an

ordinary politician seeking a

ministerial position

he wants all the power to establish a

totalitarian state

to achieve his end the wolf disguises

himself as a lamb

Hitler reassures Hindenburg by asking

for only two ministerial portfolios for

the Nazis

the minister of the Interior would be a

Munich policeman named bilheim frick

with Airman Gering at his side also to

control the police two key positions

Hitler advances by subterfuge

his aim is to show that the most

important ministerial positions have

gone to a conservative

a former Chancellor

and to the strong man of the extreme

right

minister of the economy and agriculture

an aggressive and authoritarian

hardlining

Hitler calls his government the cabinet

of national concentration to make it

sound like a nationalist Coalition

rather than a predominantly Nazi

government

this very reactionary body believes it

can control Hitler

first speech as Chancellor

what is Hitler's plan absolute power but

in reality Hitler and his Coalition

barely win a majority

even with all his propaganda and the

intimidation by the essay Hitler hasn't

stopped the Communists from obtaining 12

percent of the votes

at this point Hitler tears off his mask

and enters the realm of illegality with

his government's complicity

he invalidates the election of the

Communist parliamentarians and has them

arrested and sent to the concentration

camps of Iranian Berg near Berlin and

dachane near Munich which have just been

set up by the Nazis

these are the first of the 16 camps that

opened in the year 1933 alone

the number of political prisoners Rises

to 100 000 during the first months of

the regime

communist student Klaus Bastian recalls

the guards whip the prisoners and pushed

us into freezing water we all was feared

for our lives night and day

the Nazi version is that these

parliamentarians senior civil servants

and union leaders are being re-educated

the baleful shadow of dictatorship

spreads over Germany

stages the new parliament in the Royal

opera house surrounded by the sa and

demands unlimited powers

Edwin Landau owner of a large store in

Palestine with his family

I changed completely in the space of a

few hours this country and this people

whom I had respected and loved until

then had suddenly become my enemies I

was no longer German or no longer had

the right to be German

I was ashamed of having once belonged to

that Nation I was ashamed of the trust I

had held in so many people who now

removed their masks to reveal themselves

as my enemies

universities Nazism is perverting

I was dumbfounded and deeply outraged

since we had read and discussed many of

French socialist leader Leon Bloom wrote

what was needed in Germany was for the

Communists and the social Democrats to

fight together

thank you

but the social Democrats were unwilling

and as for the Communists Moscow had

given them their orders no alliance with

the social Democrats described as

socio-trators

it's anti-semitic slogans don't seem to

stir many people up they are largely

indifferent to the fate of their Jewish

compatriots who after all only number

500 000 less than one percent of the

population

German Jews would manage to emigrate

[Music]

Gerda Blackman remembers

we succeeded in embarking on the

condition of giving up everything we

owned

the poorer German Jews would be stuck in

Germany

reported to the Eastern ghettos then

exterminated in the camps

[Music]

opponents to the regime would flee if

they can anywhere they can

especially to France where they would

later be trapped by the German

occupation in the war and handed over to

the Nazis

many of those who cannot leave in time

or who choose to stay to carry on the

struggle would be captured and martyred

in the camps

[Music]

the vast majority of Germans would

accept the totalitarian regime

some would begin the day by hoisting the

swastika flag

Germany's official emblem

the others now that Hitler had muzzled

the Press would read only Nazi

newspapers

their daughters too would learn the

compulsory salute

their sons would enter the Hitler yugand

the Hitler youth movement which will

hone their aggressive tendencies

at school teachers would show pupils how

to handle weapons

[Music]

teachers would have to use down to earth

nazi-sanctioned examples in math class

such as how much does a pupil cost

a mentally handicapped young person

costs the state 1 800 marks a year the

average pupil 320 marks and a brilliant

pupil only 125 marks answer

Society can only survive if its citizens

are genetically sound

the older daughters would join the BDM

the Bund Deutsche medal the league of

German girls

trained girls to be good wives and to

Bear many little soldiers

these would be killed at 10 years of age

in the last combat actions in Berlin

[Music]

however the the Germans are unaware of

all this in the summer of 1933

[Music]

Hitler is not yet the unchallenged

supreme leader to achieve this he must

continue numbing the nation by his

propaganda

the film The victory of faith that

depicts the first Congress since the

taking of Power by the Nazi party now

the only party

[Music]

Hitler is well served by the talent of

the young director Lenny Riefenstahl who

charms him with her energy and beauty

with clever Framing and lighting

techniques she glorifies the new God of

a new Mystique a Mystique of race of the

leader of power and its Apostles like

the most loyal of the loyal Rudolf Hess

one of the writers of the anti-jewish

laws

like Joseph Goebbels under whom

propaganda has become an important

Ministry

like Airman Gary who will resuscitate

German Aviation

and like Aaron's time head of that

hoarder Fanatics the Stormtroopers

[Music]

nothing gives cars to suspect that this

film would be banned a year later

because Han even though he has been

Hitler's accomplice since the failed

Pooch of 1923 will be denounced as a

traitor

perhaps because he is too close to

Hitler or because the essay is too big

with 2 million members it is a force

that Rivals the army

Hitler to gain the Army's support will

bring them into line and eliminate harm

it all begins the next summer when

Hitler travels to Italy to meet

Mussolini in Venice

Hitler is impressed by his Elder

counterpart his role model

he's seeking Mussolini's approval for

his plan to Annex Austria

Mussolini refuses

he doesn't want Germans gathering on his

borders he doesn't warm to Hitler saying

he makes me think of a talkative Monk

he takes him on a tour of Venice

starting with his Battleship Fleet while

Hitler has no Naval Force

Hitler returns to Berlin mortified

he understands now that until he

rebuilds the Armed Forces he won't be

able to carry out his plans

but there goes to observe the maneuvers

of the heisphere the German Army reduced

by the Treaty of Versailles to 100 000

men few in number but very well trained

Hitler knows that two-wage war he needs

generals Admirals competent officers

strategists and trained specialists

he's always promised to free the army of

the straight jacket of Versailles and to

restore its troop and weapon strength

the generals want more in particular to

get rid of home

and his Stormtroopers who are in a

position to supplant the army

composer

Hitler can now look back at how far he

has come he's achieved the demented

dream of his youth

to Incarnate re-envy his favorite

wagnerian hero who sacrifices himself

for his adoring people

[Music]

like Siegfried set sail on the North Sea

pursuing his fantasies accompanied by

those who created him but who can no

longer control what has become the Golem

the legendary creature of clay who

blinds human beings by his hellish power

Hitler will first appropriate the

successes of the Weimar Republic

such as the famous autobahns which will

become Showcases of the Nazi regime

Hitler will strike by passing the

Nuremberg race laws

all right

he will burn synagogues to the ground

and the Crystal knocked Pokemon

Prelude to the final solution

he'll violate the Treaty of their side

by reoccupying the demilitarized zones

of 1919.

the weakness shown by the lack of

reaction from France or England will

lead Mussolini to draw closer to Hitler

allowing him to Annex Austria

step in what he calls his mission

to integrate all the german-speaking

peoples into a greater Germany

he'll intervene in the bloody Spanish

Civil War sending his bombers to

annihilate the population of Guernica

Insurance victory for Franco's fascists

over the Spanish Republicans

he dreams of a great Army

like napoleons

one he will lead to Moscow

all the while proclaiming his desire for

peace

thank you

the Germans drained by bombastic

speeches and showy demonstrations

will lose contact with reality

when Germany is ready Hitler obstinate
