Original subtitles

Your Luftwaffe, your Wehrmacht and his Navy no longer exist.

Your State no longer exists.

Mr G ring, You're a prisoner.

And you're in prison.

All of p !

On November 20, 1945,

began the first court for war crimes of history.

Twenty-one of the most notorious Nazis were tried on pain of death.

Of course we rearm. I reopened Germany until it overflowed.

No regrets and relentless,

the most fanciful of them was Hermann G ring,

the successor chosen by Hitler.

You knew the Fhrer.

I would rather die ten times

to see the sovereign subject to this humiliation.

Whatever happens, the whole world will watch. "

The trial was a great bet of the Allies.

At stake, there was nothing less than the verdict of history to Nazism.

The brutal treatment given to these people

It's almost unbelievable.

I'm ready to fight.

And if you can not convince the court,

I will convince the German people

that everything I've done was by the great Reich.

It would have been much faster follow Churchill's suggestion:

simply lead the degenerate Go outside and shoot 'em.

Could G ring succeed where Hitler failed

and, from the courtroom, to rekindle Nazi pride?

This witness adopted, on the witness stand and on the rosaries,

an arrogant and scornful posture in relation to this court.

Your Excellency, Want to go to hell.

NUREMBERG Nazis on the seat of the ruus

Look.

-L he l . -Look, G ring.

On the day that Germany surrendered

Hermann G ring surrendered 36th US Division.

Strangely, it was marked a press conference in his honor.

Hey marshal, smile!

Want to walk soon, I'm hungry.

Thank you.

All right, first question.

-New York Times! -Voc .

When you noticed who had lost the war?

Very soon after of landings in Normandy

and the Russians break the line of defense in the east.

- Please, Daily Times! -New Yorker!

You.

Who was responsible the concentration camps?

Hitler never discussed the camps with people in my position.

He only argued with those directly responsible for the fields.

-London Times! "Here, American Forces Network.

You know you're on the list. of war criminals?

No.

This question It surprises me a lot.

I can not imagine why.

Behind your public image of playfulness,

G ring was a reactionary Nazi.

Obsessively loyal to Hitler,

united, they destroyed the German democracy.

In power, G ring was brutal.

He created the Gestapo, the dreaded secret police.

Drafted minutes of laws against the Jews

and led the German rearmament conditions of war.

G ring was commander-in-chief from the For a A rea

and Hitler named it Reichsmarshall,

the highest-ranking military officer from Germany.

What impressed to know him it was his attitude.

He had a personality dominant, striking.

It was noticed that there was somebody important.

He was not like some,

very whining, whining, full of self-pity.

He commanded.

Maintained in solitary confinement, Gring was awaiting trial.

But for the Allies, give you a public forum

meant a huge risk of him using it for Nazi propaganda.

The prosecution urgently needed know what he intended to do.

I am Captain Gilbert, your new liaison officer.

Welcome. Please sit.

Please.

I see you've already received his indictment.

I got it.

There is only one small section about me.

Aside from this, the accusations against us, criminals, they are the same.

I would like to register your account The accusations against you.

Would you write something for me?

Yes of course.

'' The winner will always be the judge and the vanquished, the accused. ''

As for the trial,

A political game of marked cards,

but I'm prepared for the consequences.

What are ...

Now, let d ,

I know that I will be hanged, You know I'll be hanged.

But I'm prepared to fight.

And if you can not convince the court,

I will convince the German people

that everything I've done was by the great Reich.

Captain Gustave Gilbert was a Jew of Austrian descent.

Training psychologist,

during the war he would work as an officer of the secret service,

having specialized to interrogate German prisoners.

I had seen the Nazi cruelty

in places like the countryside of the Dachau concentration.

I wanted to find out which led to humans

to do what those men made.

The Nazi leaders were in the prison of Nuremberg

and that was the only place where I wanted to be.

The problem, for the Allies,

was that not all Nazi leaders were trapped.

In Lneburg, the body lies the most hated man in Europe:

Heinrich Himmler,

head of the Nazi secret police and the violent SS troops.

Himmler was carrying with him tiny bottles of poison ...

The suicide of Himmler,

creator of the death camps Nazis,

was a disaster for the Allies.

With Hitler and Gbbels dead, G ring was the most senior Nazi.

Let me show you something.

With exception of an armed attack on the prison,

This is what keeps me going. woke up at night

We found it in the middle of G ring's jewels.

one cartridge, or German gauge.

Perfectly.

But you can open it.

Carefully.

Potassium cyanide.

In quantity to kill 12 men.

Ampoule ampoule regularly distributed by the SS.

Himmler used one.

-G ring suicidal? "I'll tell you about G ring."

When he arrived here, malcuidado and smiling,

with two bags of dihydrocodeine,

I thought it was a vendor of Remedies.

Is he addicted to drugs?

Without doubt.

The habit comes from when he was injured in a Nazi dispute.

He took drugs because of the pain.

If you think the fat one a big guy,

should have seen him before we put it on the diet.

Our task, Captain,

ensure that these men be healthy

to go to court before the world.

And I do not want them to come. crazy in prison.

A guy can go crazy to sit in a cell

with which some of these guys have in the head.

I want it to be our eyes and ears, Captain.

Become familiar with the prisoners,

please let me know regularly about their psychological state,

mainly from G ring.

If we lose it, we have no judgment.

Nothing can happen to G ring.

Yes sir.

Call the doctor!

Four weeks before the trial,

Robert Ley,

creator of the Nazi organization recreation For a by Alegria,

committed suicide.

I was one of those responsible.

We renounce God and, therefore he has forsaken us.

That can not happen any more.

Aordem was given and a series of measures were taken.

Whenever the prisoners were in the cell,

were under constant surveillance.

All the time.

They could not sleep with my hands under the covers.

They always had to sleep with your hands over the covers.

And they had to sleep on their backs, never sideways, nor witch.

Better this way, with him dead.

Because I had my doubts on how to conduct myself at trial.

I'm sure he would a ridiculous role.

Do you think What is someone calling?

The German people seem very disillusioned. with the Nazi leadership.

Does not matter what the people say now.

The only thing which does not bother me.

Because I know what they said before.

I know how much they they applauded and praised us

when things were going well.

And I'll do it again.

Law.

I am determined,

determined to enter for the history of Germany

like a great man.

In 50 or 60 years,

there will be statues by Hermann G ring throughout Germany.

Little statues, maybe.

But one in every German home.

Aggressive, outgoing, narcissistic

Gilbert was always in a very difficult position,

trying to gain confidence of those people

and trying to advise them.

He also provided ideas prosecution,

Sometimes even suggesting lines of attack.

A ruthless adventurer and realistic in political science.

Basically, without scruples.

It should be asked if you took into account the lives of millions of Germans

while preparing for war.

So he was always in an ambiguous position,

at the same time trying to win the trust of those people

and, on the other hand, betraying this confidence

to whom he paid his salary.

The prosecution was headed by the judge of the US Supreme Court,

Robert Jackson.

Together with a team of lawyers Great Britain, France and USSR,

Jackson's goal was to destroy the Nazis and their ideas forever.

Jackson wanted a record that remained in history

of what the Nazis had done.

He would be so irrefutably, that everyone would accept it.

The secondary objective, of course, was to punish the guilty.

Sir David.

Jackson's stance was ambitious.

His approach was to prove that there had been a '' Nazi master plan ''.

I modified the summary of the tests concerning the charge of conspiracy.

The British prosecutors had a simpler approach.

It seems that a little longer.

As I said, I want a court case. against the Nazi government.

Showing how they conspired to hurt world peace

and exterminate minorities.

Oh, sure, I get it.

Still, prove that every Nazi act since 1933

was part of a close-up to start a war with Europe

will be very difficult, if not impossible.

Sir David, we must tell the whole history of the Nazi movement.

His disloyalty and his barb rie.

It may take months.

We do not want to lose the interest of the public.

Of course, it would have been much faster follow Churchill's suggestion:

simply lead the degenerate Go outside and shoot them, right?

COMMIT THE JUDGMENTS IN NUREMBERG

Palace of the Justice of Nuremberg, in Germany.

The once sacred city of Nazism

becomes stage of an event.

Here under watchful eyes of allied military police,

the 20 most important members of Hitler's band that survived

go to trial

On November 20, 1945,

the first international court of war crimes

began in Nuremberg.

After three months confinement in solitary confinement,

all 21 defendants sat together in a large seat of the ruus.

This gave G ring an opportunity to influence the other prisoners

and lead a front in their defense.

I think the prosecution should be congratulated

by the division of the process.

To the English, the question was the forcible colonization of territories.

No one is better qualified.

And I see that the French have

with the question of looting of art objects.

Now, if they have all the world's looted art,

I imagine they are specialists.

The members of my team who have observed the rhythm closely

affirm that there is no doubt:

G ring will try disrupt judgment.

One thing is certain:

whatever happens, the whole world will watch. "

G ring tried to get the impression of a jovial realist

that, after betting high and losing,

was staring at the thing with sports spirit.

His gil humor was calculated to give the impression

that a kind fellow like him it could not be malicious.

Of course, the Russians were with crimes against humanity.

And, as always,

the Americans set the show and pay all bills.

All of p !

G ring was indicted with four accusations:

order wars of aggression,

participate in war crimes,

crimes against humanity

and conspire, together with Hitler, to carry them out.

The judgement what is to start

Unique in history of world jurisprudence

and of utmost importance for millions of people worldwide.

To be seated

watching no more which is six or seven meters distant,

to G ring, Hess, Keitel, Kaltenbrunner

and all 21 ruus,

the high leadership of what was left of the Nazis,

headed by Hermann G ring.

And I sat there.

A Different Pleasure of everything I could imagine:

see justification be done.

G ring and the rest

declared themselves innocent of all charges against them.

It was time for Robert Jackson initiate the charge.

Excellencies.

We will demonstrate that these prisoners

are alive symbols of racial hatred,

of terrorism and violence

and arrogance and cruelty of power.

These friars did a war of aggression.

A war that violated treaties.

The rearmament of Germany exceeded, while the neighboring countries

which, in about a year,

she managed to crush the military force of Continental Europe.

I could save a lot of hassle for the accusation.

Of course we rearm.

I resettled Germany to overflow

I do not feel we have reassembled us more.

And treated!

How much toilet paper, huh?

So he attacked countries that did not pose a threat?

Well, have it!

Americans did not take over California and Texas?

It was aggressive war for expansion of territory.

But when they are the Germans who do,

suddenly it was a crime.

Never heard of Americans massacring the Indians?

-Well, you do not want to compare ... -Look, look.

This has been happening for centuries.

In the Stone Age, they were the brains of the club,

and the living ate the dead.

I think I would give a meal for two, huh?

From the beginning of the trial,

the insolent aggressiveness of G ring stood out.

The challenge of rewriting the last act of the Nazi drama

was an invigorating stimulus.

immediately, he took care of the prisoners.

I think, almost to the end, G ring believed

which would be recognized as leader of the German government

and end up dealing with the Allies with ease.

He demonstrated this, never said anything about it

but the print I had when I saw him in Nuremberg.

But in court, the self-appointed leader of the Nazis

was facing an ever increasing amount of evidence.

If this court agrees, the US Attorney's Office will now show

a documentary film on the concentration camps.

The intention is to prove that each of these rivers

knew of existence of these fields,

instruments through which the Rus kept their power

and removed the opposition to their conduct.

Dachau, factory of horrors.

The trains of prisoners arrive, bringing more dead than alive.

Others died after the release.

They were buried by other prisoners.

This is what the liberators found within the property.

The brutal treatment that these people received

in the German concentration camps It's almost unbelievable.

The Nazis kept in the field

facilities for medical experiments and vivissec es,

who used prisoners like guinea pigs.

Few who entered in these experiments

they live.

A disposal plant of cad veres.

Inside, there are the ovens that gave the creator

a maximum disposal capacity of 400 bodies per ten-hour journey.

The bodies were reduced the ash of bones.

In Belsen, the same story.

The sanitary conditions they were so gruesome,

what was needed use heavy equipment

to acelerate the cleaning job.

This was Bergen-Belsen.

- I do not believe it. -Stay quiet.

When the movie was shown, had a strong effect on the rus.

There was complete silence in the courtroom.

The conversation between them stopped.

For the first time, the gurus realized

of which they were involved a totally criminal initiative

and that they would have to respond consequences.

Atarde was so good.

Until they pass that movie. That ruined everything.

The evidence is very incriminating, do not you think?

I still can not understand all that.

Do you think that if they came to tell me:

"Hey, they're doing experiments. freezing with human guinea pigs, ''

or that they were forcing people digging graves

to shoot them later thousands.

I would have said: '' Well, leave it alone!

What tremendous nonsense! ''

If they took two zeros of those numbers,

I could have found them conceivable,

but, my God, Yes, that is execrable.

It does not seem possible!

I missed that. like enemy propaganda.

Do not feel in any way personally responsible?

Look,

I can tell them who was prepared to make war

to return power Germany,

but I have to defend myself in an aspect relative to my honor:

I never ordered the realization of any of these atrocities.

Hermann G ring. Posture in trial and defense.

This so-called Achilles had a vulnerable heel:

the atrocities.

They nullify the effect of your pose of patrician her i and example of officer.

One should ask him:

Why did not he investigate? the reports of atrocities.

This gives your enemies the chance to attack him with good reason

and spoils his pose.

But Jackson needed to prove

that G ring was personally involved

with the Nazi atrocities.

Gilbert continued to watch him.

I wanted the F hrertivesse on the side of his followers

and assumed responsibility for his command.

Think about his position!

Ah, of course.

His position as war criminal, right?

He was our sovereign.

For me, it would be intolerable to see him. before a foreign court.

You knew the Fhrer.

He would be the first to stand up and say:

'' I gave the orders and I will total responsibility ".

I would rather die ten times

to see the sovereign subject to this humiliation.

Save the victory! Save the victory! Save the victory!

G ring had sworn an oath of loyalty to his F hrer.

And he made a memorable statement:

'' I have no conscience; Adolf Hitler to my conscience. '

This strong that any evidence against Hitler

could be used like munition against G ring.

The accusation began to call to the witness stand

other important Nazis,

prepared to report first hand

during the war.

Can you explain to the court

how are these executions were performed?

A local command tried to collect all the Jews in their area,

under the pretext of resettlement.

They were transported to the place of execution,

usually, an antitank trench.

The executions were made to the military mode,

by firing squads.

You arrived to talk to Himmler

about that order?

Yes, in mid-1941,

Himmler gathered the leaders and soldiers of the Eisatzkommandos.

Emphasized the fact that the leaders and soldiers

who participated in the executions

they had no personal responsibility when executing his orders.

It was only his responsibility.

And the F hrer.

"Did you hear him say that?" -I heard.

What this pig hoped to gain selling the soul to the enemy?

He's going to be hanged, really.

Hell, I just wanted to. that we had the courage

to restrict our defense to three words:

'' Go to hell! ''

Your Excellency, wanna go to hell

The war would be a big joke.

If only I did not die so many people because of her.

Who's calling this?

Go to hell

Elsie, are with you. my notes

on counter-interrogation from G ring?

This is Bob.

After three months gathering evidence,

G ring and Jackson they would face each other in court.

The success of all judgment depended of G ring's counter-interrogation.

If Jackson and his team could not convince the world

of G ring's guilt,

there was the serious risk of a resurgence of support for the Nazis in Germany.

At least you will represent with crowded house.

Gilbert had advised that they attack addressing the atrocities of the Nazis.

I want to call the r u Hermann G ring to the witness stand.

But, instead,

Jackson concentrated in exploring the vanity of G ring,

stimulating him to speak about its importance

for the Nazi dictatorship.

It was the last chance for G ring defend their place, and of the Nazis,

in history.

When it arrived the turn of G ring testify,

he had been taken off drugs, had emaciated,

and was in awe.

He bragged.

He had once been the G ring of the past.

He radiated energy, he radiated contempt for Jackson.

You must be aware

that the only living man that can enlighten us

about the real purpose of the Nazi party

and on the operation of his leadership.

I am perfectly aware of this.

In assuming power,

You abolished the parliamentary regime in Germany.

We believe that he it was no longer necessary.

They did not believe and did not

government with consent of the ruled?

The statement does not entirely correct.

Even a formed government within the '' Führer principle ''

only you can keep if based

in the confidence of the people.

I can remind you that your own President Roosevelt stated:

'' H, in Europe, who has abandoned democracy

because democracy generated too weak men

to give p o and work to its people and to satisfy him ''.

G ring had prepared himself for their defense.

He left for the offensive. immediately.

And he overshadowed Judge Jackson.

... of the Palace of Justice in Nuremberg. The 300 journalists and observers

who attended today's session of War Crimes Trial

had a good night why G ring

was below s of Hitler

in the hierarchy of Nazi Germany.

Fat, bloated, G ring certainly He's an astute fat man.

Jackson, then, tried a different tactic:

to confront G ring with documented evidence

and prove that he had conspired with Hitler

to violate peace treaties countries.

In speech of May 21, 1935,

the F hrer stated that the demilitarized zone

would be respected.

Do you see the following paragraph?

'' Since, at the moment,

international complications should be avoided in any way,

all the urgent preparations

must be maintained in absolute secrecy. ''

Do you see that?

I am.

These preparations they were military preparations, were not they?

They were general preparations of mobilization,

like those of any other country.

But they had a character

which should be kept in strict confidence of foreign powers.

I do not remember of having read in advance

the publication of the preparations of US mobilization.

Respectfully,

I submit to this court that the witness is not cooperating

and who was not present to his interrogation.

You can repeat the question, please?

And it's totally useless we waste our time

if it is not to get answers.

Excuse me

It seems to me that this witness adopted and is adopting,

on the witness stand and in the gospels,

an arrogant and scornful posture in relation to this court,

what is giving you a judgment

which he never gave to a soul, alive or dead.

Maybe it's best to stop the session, under these conditions.

If you go twice less successful than I,

It will have gone well.

-Very good. "Very well, Reichsmarshall.

The arrogance of G ring in today's session

corroborates what they have always said opponents of the idea of ​​this trial:

if they give to these people the opportunity to speak,

they will use advertising and make him a farce.

If we allow G ring get out of this impunity,

he will encourage all sorts of to do the same.

Maybe it's better

stop counter-interrogation, in those circumstances.

We must continue.

Stop now would be interpreted like a victory

of obstruction tactics of G ring.

G ring is having freedom to preach.

If it becomes a hero of the Nazis

why dare to respond to the US,

he will gain admiration of all the Nazis in Germany.

You know...

I almost came to think, this afternoon,

that would have been wiser shoot those men at once.

The judgment, at that time,

really hit a tricky spot between success and failure,

because if it was not possible cross-examine

or, in public sessions, risk asking questions to those people,

the judgment would be seen like a total clown.

It would not have made sense to do so. and, in a way,

would be a victory for the Russians.

G RlNG RECEIVES '' F S LETTERS '' The defense of G ring, which rekindle Nazi sentiments,

G RlNG RECEIVES '' F S LETTERS '' has had a certain success.

A Hollywood quantity of holiday cards

has been sent to the burly former Reichsmarshall,

but he does not have permission to receive them.

Most in line '' Keep your head up, Hermann, ''

or "Parab ns, Hermann."

Do not say nobody loves you.

I know somebody loves you.

And if you're wondering who can be,

I'll say no one loves you like I do.

The cross-examination of G ring, then passed to the British.

The Maxwell-Fyfe Strategy

was to prove that G ring was lying about how much you knew about the Holocaust

and undermine your credibility as a witness.

This document has been sent to us by the British Army on the Rhine.

He is addressed to everyone. the administrative levels,

to the municipal level, of the Nazi party

and assume that everyone knew everything on the concentration camps.

Are you telling the court?

that you, who until 1943 was the second man of the Reich,

nothing knew about the concentration camps?

I did not know anything about what happened

and on the methods used in the concentration camps.

I must remind you of the proof. which was submitted to the court

of which 4 million Jews died in the concentration camps

and that another 2 million death in other ways.

Are you telling this court? that a minister with his power in the Reich

could ignore the fact that all this was happening?

I maintain that yes,

because all this was hidden from me.

And I may add that, in my opinion,

not even the Fhrer was aware of the extension

of what was happening.

I want you to read the story. of a discussion between the Fhrer

and the regent of Hungary, in April of 1943.

Do you have it?

-Have. -Hitler says:

'' If the Jews who were there did not want to work,

were shot.

If they could not work, they had to die. ''

The Minister for Foreign Affairs of the Reich, who is there,

stated that Jews should be exterminated

or taken to concentration camps.

There was no other possibility.

Please examine the USSR-170 proof.

A meeting that you had with some people.

I draw your attention for the statement:

"There are few living Jews left.

Tens of thousands have already been discarded. "

You still say, before these two documents,

that neither Hitler, neither did you know

that the Jews were being exterminated?

-For the correction of this document, I should ... -You want to answer the question!

You still say that neither Hitler nor

they knew there was a politics of extermination of Jews?

As far as Hitler is concerned, I said I do not think so.

As for me, said that I do not know, not by surprise,

how far things have come.

I did not know how far.

But I knew there was a year plan oriented towards the extermination of the Jews?

No, an emigration plan. Not to liquidate the Jews.

I just knew the occurrence isolated cases of such crimes.

Thank you.

I think the real talent

of that accusation team was Sir David Maxwell-Fyfe.

He had more luggage,

and it was natural that someone who lived in England

to know more about Germany

that another who lived and worked in the USA,

and Maxwell-Fyfe did very well, it was he who frustrated G ring.

But G ring had not resigned neither to Nazism nor to Hitler.

That might interest you.

Until that happened,

there would be danger of, dead or alive,

G ring being the focus of support for Nazism.

Your wife She's worried about you.

She is worried with his blind loyalty to the Fhrer.

Ah, all right.

She's the woman. Woman is good for that.

People will understand.

It would not be better face the facts?

The man was a murderer.

I can hardly imagine that he has ordered

the death of Russians, some Jews and political enemies.

But I do not believe which Hitler ordered

the murder women and children.

Hitler was a psychopath.

Himmler, yes, but Hitler was so fascinating,

he spoke with such nobility!

Anyway, those numbers

In practice, It is simply impossible.

The judgment, then, took an unexpected turn.

There was an important Nazi alive

who could testify especially the Holocaust.

The commander of Auschwitz, outlawed since the end of the war,

had finally been captured by the British.

Recorded in his testimony,

is his description of how, only in his field,

more than 1 million people were murdered.

'' I used Zyklon B,

dumped in the death chamber through a small opening.

It took 3 to 15 minutes.

We knew when people had died

because the screams stopped.

After the bodies were removed, our special Kommandos

they took the rings and extracted the gold of the teeth of the corns.

Very small children were invariably exterminated,

since, by virtue of his age, were unable to work. ''

All this is true and is it right, witness?

Yes.

He was just another German, being loyal to his F hrer.

It is a crime of such enormity, that, after that proof,

the rus, for the most part, they gave up.

One by one,

the main Nazis in Germany occupied the witness stand.

The world waited to see if they would follow the example of G ring,

firmly defending Hitler and Nazism.

The most devilish mass murder that history has already seen

was ordered by Adolf Hitler.

A crime that fills all Germans of shame.

To provoke this war was the greatest crime and greatest insanity

which Hitler committed.

Successively, the were adopting different tactics,

admitted part of the blame, or whatever.

But what happened was that G ring and his idea that he would be the leader,

the F hrer of that group of criminals until the end, evaporated.

I will cite a statement of the witness.

'' Although he called Hitler of a kind of amoral person,

I can only consider G ring immoral and criminal.

Being more egocentric imaginable

His gain was unlimited. ''

Did you give that testimony?

Dei.

Look, I would not worry any more. with the legend of Hitler.

When the German people

take notice of everything which was revealed in this trial,

it will not be necessary to condemn it.

He condemned himself.

As she approached the day of judgment,

G ring was getting more nervous

and finding more and more difficult to laugh.

R u Hermann Wilhelm G ring,

according to the terms of the indictment for which he was convicted,

the lnternational Military Tribunal sentence him to death by hanging.

Of the 21 birds, 11 were sentenced to death,

Seven went to prison and three were acquitted.

The Reichsmarschall he will not be hanged.

Can you leave me a little alone?

We listened to the AFN, the radio program of the Armed Forces Network.

It came from outside the building.

I knew that all judges had car

and they all had German drivers, which parked there.

So we're curious.

I was listening to Spike Jones. and his recording of Der F hrer's Face.

When the Fhrer says '' We are the top race ''

Nils heil, heil, Right in F hrer's face.

Do not worship the F hrer A big disgrace

Then heil, heil, Right in F hrer's face.

And happened the funniest thing in the world:

all those German drivers they were laughing at the music.

It was over.

The F hrer, G ring and all, what they represented

were out of the way.

And they could live again.

When Herr G ring says "We will never bomb this place,

Nils heil, heil, Right in Herr G ring's face.

With the defeat of G ring on court

and subsequent convictions and sentence of death,

I think it can be said that it was really there

the end of the Third Reich.

G ring appealed of the hanging sentence.

He asked to be shot,

a more appropriate death for a soldier.

The request was denied by the judges.

I want all the lights in the cells on tonight, sergeant.

All night.

Yes sir!

Go on, Sergeant.

Sergeant of service!

There was something with G ring!

Hermann G ring died on October 15, 1946,

when taking a light bulb of SS suicide.

Until today, we do not know as he got it.

G ring joined Hitler, Himmler, Gbbels and Ley, choosing the suicide.

He died as he had lived,

trying to mock of all human values

and distract from your guilt with a dramatic gesture.

G ring's body, along with the bodies of the other Nazis executed,

was taken to a crematorium in Munich.

Their ashes were thrown in secret on a river in the region.

There would be no monument to Hermann G ring.
