From the beginning.

Please.

"The Führer welcomes at its headquarters

Youth Leader Axmann with a delegation of 20 Hitler Youths,

who have excelled in their defense of the homeland

and have been awarded with the Iron Cross.

With these 20 boys, the German youth symbolically appeared before the Führer.

These loyal helpers of our soldiers and the Volkssturm stand,

brave and fearless, in highest commitment.

- The boys tell about their--" - Stop!

Naumann, the Führer doesn't tremble.

The people will never see this footage.

We only have this.

The Führer is a shadow of his former self.

- Terrible, but true. - I decide what's true.

And what's true...

...is what's good for the German people. Do you finally get it?

Then show what the boys report to the Führer.

They couldn't.

- He had to withdraw immediately. - Take other footage, Naumann!

Take the boy we gave the Iron Cross to.

- The Führer doesn't look well. - Catastrophic.

Nothing left.

Only old ones. And the boys?

They go to their certain death?

What difference does it make?

That's a hero's death.

It's time, Magda.

Get the children.

Helga noticed.

She asks where we will go if we lose the war.

There's no other way.

We have the pictures of the boy.

- We can show them to you. - Go ahead.

When Russian got closer to Lauban,

I volunteered myself to report to Lauban's combat commander.

"If Germany is still alive today,

if Europe, and with it, the Western world, with its culture and civilization,

has not yet completely sunk into the vortex of the dark abyss...

...you have him alone to thank for this.

Because he will be the man of this century."

I'll tell people this on your birthday.

Very good, Doctor.

The Russians will be here soon.

Everyone is urging me to leave Berlin.

But I'm staying.

If I succeed here, then five minutes to 12:00, I will bring about the decision.

The enemy coalition will be breaking.

It's just a question of whether...

...we're already six feet under by then.

A devastating mood.

Criticism against the Party is everywhere,

including the Führer.

The Russians will be dealt a harsh defeat here in Berlin.

If it doesn't end well and he dies with honor,

then Europe will become Bolshevik.

But he will be a legendary figure in five years at the latest.

He would be sanctified by this last great effort.

It's all about the decision now.

Let's face it with pride.

The people want role models.

In 100 years,

a beautiful color film will be shown

about those terrible days that we are going through here.

Don't you want to play a part in this film?

Then hang in there!

So that the audience doesn't start booing when you appear on the screen.

- Hail Hitler! - Hail Hitler!

My diaries and pictures will shape the image of our time.

But no one will ever know how I got the people behind the Führer.

I strictly forbid showing techniques

that influence the masses.

This would be disillusionment of national affairs.

Do you know the name of the English, or the American propaganda minister,

or even Stalin's?

No.

But Joseph Goebbels?

Everyone knows him.

My wife, my children and I...

We will set an example for posterity

of what it means to be faithful until death and beyond.

I created the Führer myth.

With my last big enactment,

we will be a part of it.

Germany has become one again, one people, inseparably connected.

In this hour, the German people in Austria

have elevated and confessed their being German.

A rejoicing that the world may yet...

The Führer enters Vienna like a triumphant.

Indescribable.

And now the victory is complete.

It's a historic hour, Hanke.

We now need pictures that show

how the Führer is welcomed with huge applause in Vienna.

Yes, Doctor. Whatever it takes.

The flyers have been distributed, 130 million in all.

Our materials were in Vienna on time.

On the special trains with our followers, we didn't have to help much.

The people are thrilled.

And our people teach the Jews manners.

Brushing the streets with toothbrushes.

Rubbing, they call it.

That's a real Viennese slur.

Himmler reports 20,000 arrests and 100 deaths.

Serves the Jews right.

But we don't say anything about it in the news.

We're as truthful as it's useful.

Propaganda is an art like painting.

It's not the image that comes closest to reality

that has the greatest value.

No, it's the one that triggers the greatest emotions.

We create the images that will last.

As the Führer and Chancellor of the German nation and Reich,

I hereby declare before German history

the entry of my homeland into the German Reich.

Sit down!

Gentlemen,

tomorrow the Führer will be given a welcome in the capital of the Reich

that will surpass anything that has gone before.

The propaganda troops will have to return to Berlin from Vienna immediately.

We need new festive and banner materials.

Businesses close, schools take a day off,

everyone must take to the streets.

The police will lead the people to their assigned sections.

We'll make sure that there are no troublemakers.

Well done, Helldorf!

The SA has also promised 25,000 men, ensuring order and decorating streets.

We'll work through the night to make sure everything's ready tomorrow.

My instruction for the press: "Triumphant entry of the Führer

into the capital of the Great German Reich."

This will be communicated today via newspapers and loudspeakers.

"People of Berlin,

no one must be absent from the streets when the Führer arrives."

Berliners, close the shops and businesses!

No apartment, no building, no business without banners and flags.

We want to greet and cheer the Führer in all of our deep gratitude.

We all, of course.

Long live Adolf Hitler!

Long live our people and the Reich!

Look at that!

We've become true masters of mass domination.

I've arrested possible troublemakers.

And we'll give the Jews a thrashing.

We'll do it all in the follow-up. And properly.

Let's go. Go, go, go!

I told you to pay attention to my signal.

- I explained it to you in detail. - Hail Hitler, Doctor.

See, we leave nothing to chance.

Very well. You've learned.

We need some time. But we'll get it done.

Upon arrival, we let out a threefold "Hail victory!"

And then the anthem.

It has to look spontaneous.

Then we wait and let the people sing,

"We won't go home until the Führer speaks."

We will show a jubilant city

with songs from the heart of the German people.

You can't play marching music all the time, even if the party wants so.

We'll demonstrate that our grandparents' waltz

is not the end of the story, and everything else is evil.

- Listen, this music is touching my heart. - Not just right now.

In propaganda, we are allowed to be generous in an erotic sense.

In return, we strike against political jokes.

My esteemed artists.

To the Führer, the greatest of artists.

To our Führer.

We're counting on you.

Dear Paula Wessely.

You will vote in favor of the annexation of your homeland.

You are all role models, even in private.

A Jewish woman as a wife is no longer an easy thing to do.

My dear Gottschalk, great challenges are ahead of us.

- Here's to German art! - And to our propaganda minister.

- Bravo. - Thank you all.

A good government cannot exist without propaganda, and vice versa.

I'm telling you, gentlemen, we are all propagandists.

In every moment in which we try to conquer a woman.

We're stupid when we boast and smart when we flatter.

Like a propagandist, we have an intention,

but it must be so virtuously concealed

that this intention fulfils you without you realizing it.

Isn't that right, ladies?

You'll have to forgive me. That's what we're here for.

I'll be driving here with the Führer tomorrow.

All of Berlin is working according to my plans.

There's nothing I can do about it, Liduschka.

You trigger the most beautiful feeling I've ever experienced.

Let's be reasonable, Joseph. You have a wife and sweet children.

It'll hurt you. It'll hurt me, too.

Don't think Magda will put up with that, right?

But I can't be reasonable.

A beautiful woman

is like a sailing ship on the vast sea.

All the winds fall on her and take her somewhere.

And when a storm comes, it ends in a huge,

inescapable hurricane.

Angel...

...the Führer makes us so happy.

I had the children wake up for you.

Helga, Hilde, Helmut, say good evening to Daddy.

- Good evening, dear Daddy. - Good evening, dear children.

You are about to witness a great hour in history.

Your uncle Führer's homeland is back in the Reich.

Tomorrow, you'll attend his event.

- Any news? - Yes. He's overjoyed.

My call has worked wonders in Berlin.

You heard me in the radio, the city is unrecognizable.

On his return from Vienna,

the Führer was welcomed by Berliners with never-ending cheers.

AIRPORT TEMPELHOF 2KM

Millions line the road from Tempelhof Airport to the Reich Chancellery

in order to thank the creator of Greater Germany for his historic deed.

The Führer will go down in history as the greatest German.

You can hear the enthusiasm everywhere. Everything is going according to my plan.

Every detail, every minute is determined by me.

Children, come.

Thank you, thank you.

But you have grown up.

My Führer, we thank you.

This is the most moving hour of my life.

My dear Magda, I am pleased.

GERMAN-AUSTRIANS THANK THE FÜHRER

My sorcerer has worked his magic again.

Are these nightingales?

Now, in April?

With you on a night like this, how am I supposed to remember

which season it is, or even which month?

I not only had this song composed for you...

...I want a movie about our love.

I'm sure you've heard a lot about me.

But I swear to you,

I've never loved a woman as much as I love you.

We can't do that. What if the Führer finds out about us?

He's got his own little secret

at the Berghof.

Fräulein Braun is always with him. But no one is supposed to know.

Tell me more about him.

I admire him.

He has a superhuman inner strength

and a deep faith in his mission.

He is more devout than I am.

He's like a father to me.

But you can't trust his surroundings.

Gentlemen, welcome.

To my right, I would ask my general field marshal.

The Führer speaks very highly of Göring, an old fighter.

He was wounded in the field and has been taking morphine ever since.

- Back in splendid uniform today. - My Führer.

He is a pug and likes baroque clothes.

Gentlemen, when everyone is wearing their stars and medals,

the Führer stands out by simply not doing so.

We actors appreciate Göring

because he supports Gründgens as artistic director.

- He gives us artists freedom. - Liduschka.

This entire Gründgens scene is completely gay.

I don't understand Göring.

That makes my fingers tingle.

Opposite me, I would like to call the Reichsführer of the SS.

- My loyal Heinrich. - My Führer.

For me, Himmler is rather eerie

with his secret service and the SS fortress.

He's spreading Germanic nonsense.

And how are your excavations going? Who are you digging up next?

My research shows the superiority of the Aryan race.

It's in the best interest of our movement, Doctor.

I just hope your latest findings just don't prove

that we were still throwing stone darts sitting around an open fire,

when Rome was already at a high level of civilization.

Himmler is a Munich philistine. Very stubborn.

Just like Rosenberg, trying to be the Reich's philosopher.

Heinrich Himmler, our Reichsleiter Rosenberg.

If it were up to him, I'd have to have men in uniform

marching through my films all the time.

In the end, only Widukind, Henry the Lion and Rosenberg remain of our history.

- Much more dangerous is Ribbentrop. - My foreign minister, to the right.

A typical low-key, would-be aristocrat.

He confuses politics with champagne trade,

where it's always about ripping someone off.

A megalomaniac loser.

The Führer overestimates him. The others are completely harmless.

Speer is an artist, like the Führer himself.

He commissioned him with the redesign of Berlin.

Bormann is becoming more and more of a gray eminence.

- A real Nazi. - My dear Speer, right here.

And you, my dear Bormann, next to him,

so you can discuss your building activities right away.

As you know, Bormann is drilling the Obersalzberg.

Facing him, our national press chief.

Dietrich is a little dwarf.

And a bit of a troublemaker.

Your press release on the annexation was very witty.

Thank you. My best ideas come in the bathtub.

Then take more baths, Dr. Dietrich.

And in the seat next to me,

our Doctor Goebbels.

He knows what he has in me.

He trusts me with his most intimate plans.

The Czech Republic...

...comes first, rigorously and at the next opportunity.

Then...

...the Baltic.

And a piece of Alsace Lorraine.

France shall sink deeper into its crisis.

Those are generous and constructive ideas.

You know, the people in my family don't live to be old.

That's why I'd rather fight a war when I'm 50 than 60 years old.

What do you mean?

- People are not in favor of war. - We must solve our problems with violence.

Every generation must experience a war.

There he is. Where is the mouse?

Where's the mouse? Where is it? Well, where is it?

Don't film me with your two dogs.

- It looks ridiculous. - They are much sweeter than your giant.

You didn't hear that, yes, look.

Mrs. Goebbels has arrived.

Yes. Let the lady in and serve the food.

Where's my Stasi? You're so hilarious.

My dear Magda.

Olympus opens when I see you.

You're a charmer.

I look really worn out.

But you look good in that new suit.

- Yes? - I'm glad you listened to me.

How are you?

- I'm fine. - How is our young comrade?

I hope you took my advice and quit smoking.

- I'm doing my best. - You still smoke?

Because of people like you,

I'm going to have skulls printed on cigarette packs or ban smoking.

Smoking is just as harmful as the animal carcasses you enjoy,

and that I can't talk you out of.

But I have to admit...

...none of this affects your beauty.

You mustn't forbid all the joie de vivre.

People owe their rescue to the fact I left these poisons behind.

Or else I would have perished from all this worry.

Yes, the danger of war.

It's all Joseph talks about when he has time for us.

A man...

...is a slave to his duty.

Joseph says the people are not ready.

War will come, and it will come quickly.

I'm getting old.

I need glasses to read.

And I'm the only one capable of fighting this war.

You know exactly what's best for Germany.

But we have so much to lose.

Only a woman can talk like that.

You know how I think.

I'm the first soldier of the Reich and I will win...

...or I won't live to see the end.

The premiere of the Olympia movie will be a celebration of peace.

Leni Riefenstahl created an excellent film in the service of our cause.

Thank you.

Mrs. Riefenstahl?

Leni Riefenstahl, the Führer is watching your film today.

- What does that mean for you? - It's a great honor.

The creator of Great Germany is its most artistic person...

She always knows exactly what to say.

Look, our wonderful artists.

Without us, they'd be nothing.

Here comes Gottschalk.

He is a German Clark Gable

and falls for the sexual sophistication of this Jewish bitch.

- Thank you, Mrs. Riefenstahl. - I'll do something about this.

An epochal work enters the public eye.

The film testifies to the resurrected power of the new Germany

as a grand framework for the Olympic Games.

Its spirit and its attitude illuminates the love of freedom

of the German people and their Führer in the hearts of all people.

Riefenstahl cost a lot of money.

She's a wife, not a man.

But she's a clever thing.

Meters and meters and Germany's first runner, Emmy Albus,

overtakes the runners from Holland

and Hannah Brandt puts Germany in the lead.

First change. Pass the baton!

Germany loses the baton!

First America.

Second England.

Third Canada.

How is little Hertha?

Does she have to cry so much because Daddy has no time?

He has to bring Sudeten Germans into the Reich.

Hm? Little Hertha.

My angel.

I have a surprise for you.

Everything you see

is ours now.

Our neighbor, the Jew Goldschmidt, had to give it away at a bargain.

You should have seen the look on his face when he heard who the buyer was.

I know everything.

You're cheating on me with that Czech.

First all those women, and now you're making a mockery of me.

Raging against Slavs, and then you sleep with that Czech whore?

You're not betraying me and the people.

What kind of person are you?

It's not what you think, Magda.

Miss Baarová and I, we love each other.

What are you saying?

I won't put up with this. I'm seeing the Führer.

Magda.

I want to make you an offer.

I don't want a divorce.

You're the mother of my children and the woman by my side.

But after all these years, I have to have a girlfriend.

I want...

...to give you this ring...

...as a token of our agreement.

You'll always be my old lady.

But Lida is part of the family now. As my second wife.

With the escalating conflict with the Czech Republic,

people fall into a psychosis.

People are panicking.

- That's because of your propaganda. - It has served its purpose.

Now everyone knows what a pathetic state the Czech Republic is

and that Sudetenland is part of the Reich.

We achieve all goals with agitation and threats.

Chamberlain may give us Sudetenland,

but we have to demand the entire Czech Republic.

The English and the French are not ready for war.

Ribbentrop is right.

The most radical solution is the best. Our deployment is complete.

The mobilization will be done in a flash. I will crush the entire Czech Republic.

I'm just afraid that at the last moment,

some stupid emotional acrobat will get in the way with a mediation.

Troops are marching past.

That's your responsibility. You should have organized the cheering.

They're not fulfilling their duties. It's an impudence to the Führer.

That's the mood among the people.

There's a fear of war.

We probably have the option

to take the Sudetendeutsch territory peacefully

and continue to arm ourselves.

This is the great victory that the Führer can now achieve.

Adolf Hitler called Mussolini, Daladier, and Chamberlain

to Munich for a final talk

that would bring freedom to the Sudeten Germans.

Prime Minister Chamberlain was thanked by many Munich residents,

who took him to the airfield.

French Prime Minister Daladier was celebrated on his departure, too.

Everything breathes a sigh of relief. Peace is on everyone's lips.

The Führer has achieved great merit.

Everyone cheers for peace. Europe celebrates you, my Führer.

I don't care. It doesn't matter if people hate me.

If only they fear me,

we could have crushed the whole Czech Republic.

I'm furious.

We got the Sudetenland without war.

We could have had much more.

London and Paris would never have intervened.

And now our people are cheering

to Chamberlain and Daladier for peace.

Those weaklings!

My resolve is unwavering. I will destroy the Czech people.

I want this dead, amorphous state gone, and then I'm going to storm Poland.

Next time, I'll act so fast the old hags won't be able to talk me down.

- I won't tolerate such a mess. - Are the people behind us?

The common people never want war, but it's easy to get them to join in.

Tell them they're under attack.

- This method works everywhere. - That's what we do.

But we've been talking about peace for years.

Not that easy to change the tone.

It's your duty to make sure the people follow their Führer,

even into war.

Instead of stirring up the people's war spirit,

our propaganda minister chases after women.

I've always been distant with the type of Goebbels,

- but I held back-- - I know.

He's ruthless with his women.

But he's a good propagandist.

He will get the people ready for war.

If he can find the time with all his busywork.

We'll lose our credibility because of him.

We used to disdain Jewish directors for their sexuality.

Dr. Goebbels does the same.

Everyone speaks ill of him, from Gauleiter to washerwoman.

Our revolution has an abscess that attacks the healthy blood.

Sexual compulsion of a superior towards female employees means prison.

The doctor has committed dozens of such offenses.

Here are the statements of the women.

He is a heavy moral burden for National Socialism.

Nightingales?

Now, in April? Your Royal Highness...

With you here on a night like this,

how can I remember the season or even the month?

Your Royal Highness...

Promise me?

- My... - Me too, a Prince.

Should I say "Princess"?

What do you want?

He has promised Baarová a marriage.

I have two letters here.

She writes,

"Is it still okay if I wait for you?"

And he replies, "Yes,"

underlined three times with his green pen.

You're taking advantage of women.

Let the ambassador wait until you finish your escapades.

You're allowing that the people are not ready for war.

Magda came to see me. She was crying.

You're cheating on your wife with a Czech woman, of all people.

Magda was exaggerating.

She is on the edge due to all the childbirths.

Helldorf can attest to that.

Let him in.

Hail Hitler!

What do you say, Helldorf?

My Führer,

the minister is the victim of a rival scheme.

Don't bother.

I can't afford a scandal anyway.

After the Minister of War married a whore

and the Commander-in-Chief is a gay man.

- You handled that brilliantly-- - Stop, Helldorf!

The Goebbels are the Reich's poster family.

You know perfectly well the effect a divorce would have on the people,

especially now.

This thing with the little Czech...

- ...it's nothing that can't be solved. - My Führer, I love Miss Baarová.

- I'm going to marry her. - Christ, sacrament! I'm planning a war!

And my propaganda minister is in love.

I know I can no longer be minister under these circumstances,

I ask you to relieve me of my duties.

Be reasonable.

I would feel betrayed. You know what happens to traitors.

Our people are facing their biggest confrontation.

We will create an empire the world has never seen.

You could attain eternal glory as a prophet of the Führer.

Give me your word of honor, you won't see her again.

I will always be loyal to you...

...but this is a private matter.

When you make history, you can't have private matters.

Show the people you're a happy family and give me your word of honor.

- My Führer-- - I need you for my mission.

Your word of honor.

Krause.

Call Magda.

Dear Magda...

...I'm pleased to inform you that your husband has agreed.

Miss Baarová will never make another film,

and he will never see her again.

And I insist on a divorce.

I can't grant that wish.

- This is a court that decides. - Above the court is the Führer.

A divorce could trigger a government crisis.

You'll stay married.

We'll arrange a grace period.

After that, we'll see. I've already prepared the contract.

What are we, individuals, compared to the fate of the people?

And the children?

When you have beautiful children like yours,

you can't be separated.

The best part is that,

during the grace period, you will live completely ascetically.

You, Doctor, like a monk.

And you, Magda, live like a nun.

I've been doing this for a long time.

I suggest we take a photo.

My conversation with the Führer shakes me to the core.

Life is so hard and so cruel.

I have a very sad phone call to make.

Can only sleep with strong medicine.

And now my new life begins...

This whore has nothing to do here.-...a hard, cruel, duty-bound life.

Get out!

- The youth is now at an end. - Get out, you whore!

Get out, you whore!

It's the worst time of my life.

I've sunk to the bottom, and my opponents are on top.

On my birthday,

the Führer sent me nothing but a frosty telegram.

No dog wants to live like this.

Perhaps you'll be happy to hear

that the anger against the Jews is growing.

They're blaming them for the antiwar sentiment.

At least some good news.

We have to launch a full-scale rampage now.

That would heat up the mood and please the Führer.

And then... the propaganda could be converted to war.

In Paris, a 17-year-old Jew shot diplomat Ernst vom Rath.

Why didn't you say so straight away?

Let's talk straight now!

I'll report this to the press right away.

This assassination must have the worst consequences for the Jews.

I'm very glad you have come to your senses.

No one must know that I am in favor of today's action in exactly this way.

The Jews need to feel the wrath of the people.

We already organized demonstrations.

The messenger will bring news of Rath's death.

Then we'll start.

My Führer...

We've just received the sad news

that our legation council Ernst vom Rath is dead.

Shot... by a Jew.

This cowardly murder will cost the Jews dearly!

In the future, they will think twice

before simply shooting down German diplomats.

The party will not appear externally as the author of this.

Among us are members of the shock squad "Adolf Hitler."

They went ahead during the fighting period.

They know what to do. The hour has struck for the Jews!

- Hail SS-Men! - Hail Hitler!

Doctor is out of his mind.

I would have preferred he had just 200 Jews beaten to death,

rather than destroy such values.

Who pays for this?

Let the Jews pay for the damage themselves.

The insurers pay nothing.

We'll disown Jewish businesses. Make the preparations.

I will impose a penalty on the Jews

of one billion reichsmarks for their heinous crimes.

Those bastards won't dare to kill again.

I don't want to be a Jew in Germany.

That's right. Thank you.

I suggest we stop this before it gets out of hand.

We won't say anything about it in the news. In the press, very little.

Good thing it is firmly in our hands.

I will now inform the representatives that we are going to sound pacifist.

Hail Hitler!

Circumstances...

...forced me...

...for decades to talk about peace.

It was the only way I could, step by step, achieve freedom for the German people.

Such peace propaganda also has its questionable side.

As the perception had been established, we wanted to preserve peace at all costs.

But this misconception must now be rectified.

So I have begun to make it clear to the German people...

...that there are things...

...that must be enforced by violence.

This line of propaganda must be continued and reinforced.

"To the mother of the nation,

the image of the German woman.

Immersed in devotion I stand. In your blue eyes, your rich soul I see."

Yes?

The doctor is here.

It's been agreed I must give a visitation permit.

I know everything.

Helldorf told me.

Hanke, of all people, is the most treacherous traitor I've ever been around.

It's sad to have your faith in humanity taken away.

He treats me good, unlike you.

I'm the one who got you out of your Jewish clique.

You were with the top Zionist, and I swept it all under the rug.

And you got your doctorate from the Jew, joined the Socialists,

and applied as a correspondent in American newspapers.

You're the most depraved opportunist.

Here's... an order from the Führer.

Hanke is to be transferred to the Wehrmacht.

Here's a list of people who can't enter the house anymore.

Also an order from the Führer.

Your beloved stepfather, the Jew Friedländer,

made his living as a waiter.

He was taken to Buchenwald and died.

He was always kind to me.

Haven't seen him since the rise to power. I'm on the Führer's side.

Magda, please, come to your senses.

We have no choice but to get along.

The propaganda will incite against Poland.

If no miracle happens, we'll soon be at war.

The Führer needs us.

I know. We promised the Führer. It's our duty.

Gentlemen, I've asked you here in civilian clothing...

...to protect the absolute secrecy of this meeting.

It was clear that sooner or later,

it would have to come to a military conflict with Poland.

Our economic situation is such...

...that we will last for a few more years.

We have to act.

Our opponents are little worms.

The West has placed its hopes on the enmity

between Russia and Germany.

But now, my foreign minister is going to Moscow.

Gentlemen, I will sign a non-aggression pact

with the Soviet Union.

Then Poland will be where I want it to be.

I have given the order that the objective of war is not to reach certain lines,

but to physically destroy the enemy.

I will have anyone tortured who speaks one word of criticism.

I have prepared my Totenkopf units

to mercilessly send any man, woman, and child of Polish descent

to their deaths.

It's the only way to gain the habitat...

...that we need.

My Führer, what a brilliant move.

You surprised even me.

The non-aggression pact with Stalin will be a world sensation.

Thank you, Doctor.

I will divide Eastern Europe with Stalin.

About time Ribbentrop called.

- Have a seat. - Thank you.

I've instructed the press...

...that the issue of Bolshevism is not so important now.

We get them attuned to the pact.

For years we have gone all out in the anti-Bolshevik propaganda.

Now we're in trouble and are eating flies like the devil.

- Keep the people. - I will.

But the question is,

how will the West react?

I don't think London wants a war right now.

Paris is chickening out.

I've always played across the board in life.

The Foreign Minister, from Moscow.

Yes.

"Non-aggression pact for ten years," he says.

In these hours, we are writing history.

Since 5.45 a.m., we have been firing back.

And from now on, we will retaliate with a bomb for a bomb.

Gentlemen, sit down!

We are at war.

News policy... in war.

That is a means of war.

It is being used to wage war, not to give out information.

Eavesdropping on enemy stations

will be punished.

Passing on enemy information...

...is punishable by death.

The death sentences will be announced in the press.

We put on an infernal concert,

always plotting, always agitating.

Good.

What is there to report?

Polish propaganda claims that we've carried out liquidations.

Poland has established a proper factory of lies.

That won't do them any good.

There have been attacks on Germans as well.

There were even deaths in Bromberg.

That's good.

Build that up.

Increase the number of victims tenfold

and repeat it over and over again.

The simpler and more primitive, the more effective.

Invent catchphrases.

"Blood Sunday of Bromberg."

That's got a ring to it.

This is where the murderers are brought out of their hiding places.

They committed savage acts of bloodshed against defenseless Germans

in the Blood Night of Bromberg.

They will be met with martial law immediately.

We hammer it as long as it takes

until everyone knows that Poles commit atrocities.

It's only when the intelligence says, "We can't hear it anymore"...

...that the lumberjack in Bad Aibling notices and says,

"Oh? I've never heard anything like that."

It's like the Catholic church, no one would say to the priest,

"Father, you preached the same thing just last Sunday."

No. Day in, day out, year after year, the same thing.

No priest would think of starting liturgy from the back,

just to offer something new.

To The Führer.

My foreign minister, to my right. The doctor across from me.

Please... be seated.

I've issued amnesty for all those who broke the law out of desperation

over the horrors committed by Poland.

Poles are more animals than people.

That's why our units are taking radically liquidating

the Polish leadership and the Jews.

Our propaganda about Polish atrocities has laid the groundwork for this.

If your propaganda is as good as you say it is,

the question must be allowed

why, despite the great victory over Poland,

is there still no real enthusiasm for war?

People cheer for victory,

but they fear the war's expansion.

All the more reason for the propaganda to reach the people.

But what does the doctor say?

Entertainment is important, too.

Propaganda must be close to the people, doctrines do not help at all.

Or do you honestly believe that after the battle,

soldiers go for your 20th-century myth?

But we can't go on like this.

The newsreel runs in 3000 theaters per week,

but in a mindless manner.

Because there's no propagandist at work.

We only get boring material.

That's because of the military drill. It inhibits any form of creativity.

I mean, we have great artists in German filmmaking.

Not everyone can withstand the pressure of war.

You mean Leni Riefenstahl?

She was there when Jews were shot.

It took a toll on her.

But, of course, she remains our poster child

as the most famous director in the world.

She was at my victory parade in Warsaw,

and now she's making new films.

Doctor, great things are happening for the mobilization of the people,

but the German film does not take notice.

That's your responsibility.

- But we do have good national films. - Patriotic in general!

But not national socialist ones!

Our film hasn't dared to touch the Bolshevik Jewish people yet.

The Führer is harsh in his criticism.

I don't think it's entirely justified,

but he has every right to do so,

because he's a genius.

Take 29/10.

And then you say, "Happy birthday, Daddy."

Happy birthday, Daddy.

What's Rühmann doing with the kids?

It's a surprise...

...that my sweetie can't know about.

Okay.

My wonderful children.

If the Jews win the war,

there will be no future for them.

We won't let it go that far, will we?

Sit down, please.

Hippler... is going to make a documentary about Judaism.

And you, Harlan, will turn the whole thing into a motion picture with your Jud Süß.

Let's penetrate the hearts of millions

with love, eroticism, suspense.

How do you like the script?

It's unappetizing. I must decline it for artistic reasons.

Just write a new one.

Hire the best actors.

Your wife must be in it, too.

- My wife is pregnant. - I pay the nurse.

We all do our duty.

I have five children,

and when the war started, I trained to be a Red Cross nurse.

My son Harald from my first marriage is a Quandt.

He's volunteered to join the paratroopers.

I have already asked actors. They're hesitant.

My husband will give instructions

not to use the word "anti-Semitic" in reviews.

And he'll announce that the actors in the Jewish roles are not Jewish.

- Don't worry. - That's not their point.

They're worried

about ruining their careers in Hollywood with the Jewish films.

Harlan,

- I've always promoted you. - Yes.

We're giving our artists liberties that we don't take.

You were allowed to marry a young Swedish girl.

It's always nice to become famous with National Socialism

and to be paid a lot of money.

But if National Socialism wants something from its artists, they all say no.

Gottschalk, for example, simply refuses to divorce his Jew wife.

You can't do that.

You have to understand.

National Socialism is at war with its enemies.

You and I are both soldiers.

We know very well what happens to a soldier

who dares to disobey an order.

Who may I welcome to the Reich Chancellery today?

- It's a pleasure. - Hail Hitler, Fräulein Braun.

It's a pleasure to see you.

I'm so excited.

The Führer wants me here for his big day.

He's so proud that we defeated France.

It wasn't easy to get me in here secretly.

You're competing with our newsreel.

Today, you can film anything you want.

The enthusiasm is genuine. Bright faces everywhere.

Huge quantities of fresh flowers

have to be strewn on the streets at short notice.

All of Berlin's gardeners are committed.

In the front rows, I've placed only young, slim, good-looking people,

from the HJ and the BDM.

Just this minute, the Führer arrives.

I can't miss this.

Today, Fräulein Braun looks

terribly insignificant, again.

Please, Magda. The Führer will be here soon and go up to the balcony.

Eva! Magda!

I'm so happy that you are here in my happiest hour.

Everyone's cheering for you.

Very good. And now the anti-Semitic films.

Here we see the Jews moving into a city.

Harlan has made an anti-Semitic film as we could only wish for.

Hundreds of Jews move into the city.

- The population is in turmoil. - Like locusts, they are over our land...

At the Venice Film Festival,Jud Süß was a sensational success.

The press is thrilled.

Here.

The Italian film critic Michelangelo Antonioni writes,

"If this is propaganda, we welcome propaganda."

Hidden in the movie,

our message is even more effective.

Very good.

But now show me The Eternal Jew.

You know how important this movie is to me.

Good.

Hippler! Play your movie.

Yes, Reichsminister.

The Eternal Jew?

And action.

"Where rats appear, they bring destruction into the country.

They are cunning, cowardly, and usually appear in great numbers.

Not unlike the Jews among men."

Here we have Eastern Jews cross-faded into assimilated Jews.

Some of them, we had to sort out, because they didn't look Jewish enough.

"These physiognomies disprove the liberalist theory

of equality in all man.

Beard, cap and caftan mark the East Jew for all.

When he takes them off, only sharp-eyed people

can recognize his racial heritage."

Slaughtering? Where are the animal slaughters?

It's important. Those poor animals need protection.

- Obviously. - My Führer. Again, we had to help.

We allowed the traditional Jewish slaughtering for the filming,

and depicted the Jews in all their depravity.

I'd like to put a text in front of it,

that recommends more sensitive people not to watch the sequence.

Let's see the pictures. I've written a text about it.

Thank you, my Führer.

SENSITIVE PERSONS ARE ADVISED TO NOT LOOK AT THE FOLLOWING

"Jewish law books have no sense of considerations

that stem from the Germanic respect and love for animals.

These images reveal the character of a race that hides its blunt rawness--"

...under the cloak of devout religion.

The Führer has come to visit.

He congratulates on the little Heide.

What a nice surprise.

Welcome, Doctor.

You're a lucky man.

She is the spitting image of her mother.

A real child of reconciliation.

Your visit to little Heide is an honor, my Führer.

So.

Come, Doctor, I have something important to tell you.

I've decided to attack Russia.

But if we do, we'll be caught in a two-front war.

We always tried to avoid that.

But it has to be.

Stalin wants to stay out of it until Europe is bled dry,

and then bolshevize the continent.

A war with him is inevitable.

Then we'll have our backs against England.

Habitat in the East and extermination of the Jews,

that was always my goal.

It will be an incredible feat of strength for our propaganda.

Yes.

I understand.

But a pact with Stalin has always been a break with my views.

Now I'm free of this anguish of my soul.

We've always fought the red pigs.

Now we'll destroy them.

We'll prepare an attack in secret.

The people must not find out.

We will tell the soldiers they are maneuvers.

Only at the moment of the attack,

you will read my proclamation on the radio.

Bolshevism will collapse.

The operation takes no longer than... four months.

I've already come up with an idea for a fanfare

about our victories.

Liszt's "Les Préludes."

Add a few more bars of Horst Wessel's song.

Comrades, Red Front and Reaction shot in revenge

for our comrades who were murdered by Communists.

The Reich's Ministry of Public Information and Propaganda.

Reichsminister Dr. Goebbels reads the Führer's proclamation.

It reveals for the first time in front of the whole world

the conspiracy of London and Moscow against Germany.

"German people,

at this very moment, a formation takes place..."

The new fanfare is heard.

I will read the Führer's proclamation on all channels to the German people.

What a great and wonderful time

for an empire to be born.

I feel so free.

Then I go to Schwanenwerder.

The sun is already big and beautiful in the sky.

The birds are chirping in the garden outside.

I fall into bed and sleep for two hours,

a deep and healthy sleep.

Hail Hitler, Doctor!

- Bormann! - Welcome to the Wolfsschanze.

- Thank you, Bormann! - The Führer awaits you.

Good to be seeing him.

He complained that we chose the most swampy area.

He wants the Air Force to go mosquito hunting.

- He's in a good mood. - Very good.

The war in the East is as good as won.

There will be nothing left of Bolshevism.

Great, my Führer.

However, you caused quite a shock with this attack.

Your own people were as surprised as the Russian himself.

Such a 180-degree turn is only possible due to our tight grip on the press.

And even the smallest bit of freedom of the press

is the deadliest threat to the state.

In a democracy, the people elect the head of state,

and advertising can bring any buffoon to power.

With us, one man decides. The Führer.

Present it like this, "We beat Stalin to it at the last second."

I will wipe out cities like Moscow and Saint Petersburg.

I think we should not be too optimistic at the beginning.

A setback could change the mood.

Don't worry. The enemy is in disarray and will be destroyed.

Turn on the great anti-bolshevism campaign,

"The Slavic race is inferior."

Only by force, Stalin succeeded

in forming a state out of this Slavic rabbit race.

The Jews helped him do it. We must destroy them.

Therefore, bring back the anti-Semitic campaign again.

I have prepared everything. Press, radio and film.

The Eternal Jew is for the hard-boiled party members,

and Jud Süß cuts through the heart of the masses and activates their hate.

Himmler has him presented to the entire SS,

especially before executions.

Drowned. That Jew killed her.

Beat them to death!

- The Jew has to go. - That Jew has got to go.

- They can hang! - Yes!

I am innocent.

I'm just a poor fool.

Let me have my life. I want to live.

Life is what I want--

Eradicating this plague

is to perform a historic deed for the whole of humanity.

I'm colossally humane.

It was important for me to see for myself.

Being in charge of life and death, you need to know what dying looks like.

I'm proud of my men for mastering this,

that they fire hundreds of times, and reload and reshoot,

even if the Jews scream terribly and beg for mercy.

The Jews must strip down, climb into the trenches, onto the corpses,

and lie on top of their predecessors.

"The sardine method" is what we call it.

Children in their mothers' arms saves ammunition.

They'll be crushed by the corpses.

We fire until the guns run hot. Only then, we change.

Blood and brain matter get sprayed on my men's clothes.

Some get sick. They no longer hit properly.

Once in a while, one of them climbs up the pile of bodies

shooting people's heads until they pop.

Shooters can drink all the liquor they want.

The loudspeaker truck is blasting music.

It's heroic what my men are doing.

You have to do it quickly. It's like a rotten tooth.

The pain is only over once it is out.

I have always predicted that once I am in power,

the extermination of the Jews is my most important task.

I have the Jews brought to the East,

and I order all Jews to be exterminated.

This is an honorable... yet difficult task.

We shoot thousands every day.

By the end of the year, we can barely make half a million.

We are looking for new ways.

We used gas in the mental asylums.

This could be the future.

Do whatever it takes.

Even innocent creatures of nature

like deer and rabbits sometimes have to be killed to prevent damage.

The Jews are a criminal race.

Liable for two million deaths in the Great War.

Now hundreds of thousands again.

Nobody tell me I can't do that.

For months, we were unable to give you the military details.

Now, I can let the cat out of the bag.

In the face of the recent successes, there is no doubt

that the entire Soviet front has been destroyed.

This means that the British dream of a two-front war is over.

The Soviet Union is militarily defeated with this last mighty blow.

The enemy in the East is defeated and destroyed.

Hail Hitler, Doctor.

Dietrich is an imbecile without sense and reason.

It's the biggest propaganda mistake of the war.

Tough battles are being fought on the front,

it's clear what the soldiers think of such gossip.

We're stuck in the mud, Doctor.

Literally stuck in the mud.

Yes.

People have already noticed that there are setbacks.

All the more devastating is Dietrich's statement.

Propaganda must always be related to reality.

The mood has plummeted.

The war will last longer than planned,

put it that way.

Global Judaism is waging war against us.

The war is getting harder. And it's the Jews' fault.

It's a struggle to be or not to be.

Yes.

I'll share this with the international press.

It will look like our enemies are going to war for the Jews, then.

This will create discord.

And then I will share it with the German people.

We will also introduce a Jewish badge.

You have no place here!

- If someone wears the Jewish star ... - One of the Jews.

...he is labelled an enemy of the people.

Zack! And you too!

Anyone who socializes with him is one of him ...

...and must be treated as a Jew.

It is a shame.

Dear Daddy, you're back.

Now you can see us again.

And you've already guessed. We're here to congratulate you.

We got all dressed up all the way, because it's your birthday today.

♪ Daddy is my best comrade ♪

♪ And on this most beautiful day of all ♪

♪ He is finally all here ♪

♪ So, Daddy, as the years fall ♪

♪ Our song shall now win you over ♪

♪ So listen, Daddy, very closely ♪

♪ Our dear daddy is always so much fun ♪

♪ My daddy is my best comrade ♪

My dear children, you have made me very happy.

Such a beautiful film. Thank you so much.

Thank you, really.

Gottschalk killed himself.

With his wife and child.

Those bastards.

Killing children!

What a bunch of scum.

- The people must not be informed. - They get wind of a lot of things.

There will be film people at the funeral, too.

The Jewish star also arouses pity.

- It makes the transports stand out more. - The German educated class is shit.

Suddenly, they are rediscovering their sense of humanity for the Jews.

You can't exorcise their mediocrity.

All the Jews have to do is send an old lady

with a Jewish star across Kurfürstendamm

and the average German forgets what the Jews did to us.

I get help requests all the time.

An old friend from school asked for help her with her daughter.

They're Jewish.

And? What did you reply?

She didn't use her first name Sarah.

I reported her.

Pictures like these from the Warsaw ghetto must never be seen by the public.

We ask a lot of the people,

and that's why we give them more entertainment in radio and film.

Good mood is essential for war.

That's why we're going to increase

the percentage of entertainment films to 80%.

But in the newsreel, that's where it gets down to business.

For this, we need spectacular combat footage.

That's why we're also going to step up my propaganda units.

In the past, reporters used to sit behind the fighting troops.

But my reporter, he is a soldier!

He delivers footage straight from the front.

We need creativity.

Hippler, present the examples.

Gladly, Mr. Propaganda Minister.

Roll the film!

You're looking at burning oil towers.

But in reality, these towers are just models.

Gentlemen, it's so hot on the front line in Africa

that you can even fry a sunny-side-up egg on a tank.

And here you can see that you have to adjust things occasionally.

This is tanks crossing a river.

Well, and this is how the shots were done.

Very good.

Make use of all the options.

Especially now, with our soldiers fighting in Stalingrad.

Think about Christmas. That warms up people's hearts.

That's when we will connect the soldiers from all fronts

with the homeland in a ring broadcast.

- With their wives. Their mothers. - Attention, calling...

- Stalingrad, hello? - Stalingrad here. The front on the Volga ...

We're bringing them all together,

all over the Reich, that is bigger than ever before.

Here's an airfield in southern France...

We are pushing the limits of technology. This means 5000 kilometers of cable.

One hundred million radio listeners in a live broadcast?

- That is risky. - Then be inventive.

Doesn't matter whether the soldier is really speaking from Stalingrad.

He could be in Kharkov or in the studio.

And record it in advance. It's the effect that counts!

We ask you, comrades,

to sing with us the beautiful old German Christmas carol, "Silent Night."

Let's all sing it together.

♪ Silent night ♪

- ♪ Holy night ♪ - ♪ Holy night ♪

- ♪ All is calm ♪ - This request from our comrades

in the south on the Black Sea is being followed,

all stations are now joining in!

Now they are already singing at the Arctic Ocean and in Finland.

And now they're singing in the frontline of Brezkev.

And now we are adding all the other stations.

Leningrad! Stalingrad!

And now joining us...

France joins the program... Catania.

SENTENCED TO DEATH IN THE NAME OF THE GERMAN PEOPLE

And Africa.

And now everyone sings along.

Sing together with us all

the old German Christmas carol...

♪ Sleep in heavenly peace ♪

It is terrible.

Our allies, the Hungarians, Romanians and Italians, have failed.

Two hundred thousand soldiers are trapped in Stalingrad.

I have prohibited an escape.

Time to tell the people the truth.

The Luftwaffe leadership has not kept their promise.

Yes, because Göring has once again bitten off more than he can chew.

Yes?

It's a call from Stalingrad.

Yes.

The Russian army has severely breached our defense lines.

Our troops are no longer capable of fighting.

We must tell the truth.

Not until Stalingrad is lost for good.

Then I'll turn it into a hero's song.

We'll only play mourning music on the radio now.

We'll have three memorial days.

The newspapers will all come out with a mourning edge.

Stalingrad must mark the turning point of our war effort.

What we need now is total war.

Labor service for all women.

Cessation of all non-essential industries.

All civilian life must be prepared for war.

This way, I can bring you up to two million new soldiers.

I know what you're thinking, Doctor,

and I agree with you.

I'll assign Lammers, Keitel and Bormann.

But, my Führer--

I don't want to burden you with the administration of this task,

but you will be accompanying the committee.

He passed me over.

I won't put up with that.

Stalingrad is my chance to become the second man in the Reich.

I'm going to turn this disaster

into a great wake-up call for war.

We'll start right away.

Turn off that mourning music! Send in the secretaries.

All right, ladies.

Good afternoon.

- Here. - Yes. Sit down, please.

The Sports Palace...

...must look as sober

as a Protestant church.

On the walls, only the banners of our movement

and a banner, "Total war, shortest war."

We'll turn this into a referendum.

The most representative people of our nation must be present.

Only the most reliable people, write down.

"In front of me sit rows of German wounded--"

...from the Eastern Front.

In between them,

I count 50 bearers of the Oak Leaf and the Knight's Cross.

Behind them, a block

of men and women of armaments workers.

- Soldiers from the fighting Wehrmacht. - Doctors.

- Scientists. - Artists.

My speech must be heard everywhere, in the Sports Palace, of course,

but also in the radio, in the newspapers and in the newsreels.

The entire press is prepared.

All papers have your speech on page one, as instructed.

I will begin... with a eulogy...

...for the fallen of Stalingrad.

I will speak from the bottom of my heart and with holy sincerity.

We must make it clear to the people

that the West will perish if we do not take drastic measures now.

As a climax...

...I will ask the people ten questions.

Ten. Like the commandments in the Bible.

What if people don't burst into an enthusiastic yes?

By then, I will have spoken for over an hour.

I could let them climb trees.

Helga, Hilde, you may join me tomorrow at the Sports Palace.

Your father's speech will go down in history.

I'll ask you all tomorrow.

Are you prepared to stand

behind the Wehrmacht and the Führer as the phalanx--

...of the homeland and to continue this battle--

...with fierce determination--

...undeterred by all the vicissitudes--

...of fate until victory is--

...in our hands?

Yes!

I will drive the audience crazy.

I will pull out all the stops.

Let my voice spill over.

I will play the emotional scale once up and down again.

Write down. "I ask you--"

Are you determined to follow the Führer in the fight for victory

through thick and thin, even under the heaviest personal burdens?

- The answer resounds... - Yes!

- And then they all shout? - Führer, command, and we'll follow.

- Much louder! - Führer, command, and we'll follow!

Führer, command, and we'll follow!

It's best to record it beforehand and play it for backup.

"The most radical...

The most radical today is radical, and the most total today is total enough

to achieve victory!"

Naumann. Just a little idea.

Listen and see if you notice anything.

"We will confront the Jewish threat, if necessary,

with complete and radical eradication...

with... elimination."

This could be effective.

Yes. The slip of the tongue is only for the Sports Palace, of course.

- We will leave it out in the newspapers. - Yes.

...if necessary with complete and radical era-- elimination.

And then...

...I will ask the all-important question.

I ask you, do you want total war?

Do you want total war?

Yes!

Do you want it, if necessary, more total and radical

than we can even imagine today?

And that is why from now on the watchword is,

"Now, people rise up and let the storm break loose!"

Now, people rise up and let the storm break loose!

Thank you. Thank you.

- Thank you. - Bravo!

Bravo.

This speech will go down in history as the most important speech of the war.

Did you notice how people reacted to the smallest nuances?

The most politically educated audience you can find.

Had I told them to jump out of the third floor of Columbus' house,

they would have done it.

Hannibal, Caesar and Napoleon in heaven.

Hannibal says, "If I had had Stukas in Italy..."

And Caesar says, "If I had had tanks in Germania..."

Says Napoleon, "And if I had had Goebbels...

...you wouldn't know to this day that I lost the Battle of Waterloo!"

A message from the Führer.

He calls the speech a first-class propagandistic masterpiece.

Let's hear it for our doctor.

- Cheers! - Thank you so much.

My doctor, by my side.

Congratulations.

Your speech was the biggest hit.

Thank you so much.

Did you see?

There are fantastic comments everywhere.

But the reports all over the Reich contain criticisms as well.

What do they say in industrial areas?

"Dear, Tommy, fly on. We're just miners here.

Fly on to Berlin, they're the ones that yelled yes."

Complainers do complain.

The question is,

why did the Luftwaffe allow the bombers to reach Berlin at all?

The enemy's superiority is too great. We all underestimated it.

That's why we need radical means for total war.

We don't have enough armor material.

The three-member board is working on solutions.

Sand in the gears everywhere.

Your favorite luxury restaurant, Mr. Reichsmarschall is still open,

even though angry Berliners have smashed the windows.

I wonder who's behind this.

I resent that. Do you know what people are saying?

When will the war be over?

When Göring fits Goebbels' pants.

I've fired my maid.

Frontline duty. What do I need to hear from Helldorf?

That you're lining the party's prominence with luxury goods that don't have brands.

Let's see Helldorf start with himself.

The war has turned...

...and we can't bring ourselves

to ban horse racing or close gambling banks.

We can't be so rigorous.

For instance, a beer brewing ban could cause psychological setbacks in Bavaria.

I know you don't understand the Bavarian mentality.

We mustn't make women our enemy either.

You have to give them their beauty care.

You don't usually close yourself off from female charms.

In England, many more women work for the war than here--

Gentlemen. We're already fighting an all-out, total war.

A race war with the aim of exterminating the Jews.

Foreign newspapers are reporting more and more of atrocities.

- How is the propaganda reacting to this? - Not at all.

We cannot really say that we didn't kill 2.5 million Jews, but only 2.3 million.

We've done so much wrong that we have to win.

I will talk about this with SS troop leaders and district leaders.

I am talking about the generals.

Those who know they have burnt all bridges behind them

fight much more unreservedly than those who still have a place to retreat to.

Then nobody can later say they didn't know anything.

Gentlemen...

...I would like to mention a very difficult subject before you.

It shall be discussed between us,

and yet we will never ever talk about it in public.

I mean the evacuation of the Jews, the extermination of the Jewish people.

The extinction of the Jewish people.

I'm sure most of you know what it means

when there are 100 bodies, when there are 500 bodies, or even 1000 bodies.

To have endured this.

And, to have remained decent, apart from exceptional human weaknesses,

has hardened us.

This is a glorious page of our history

that has never been written and will never be written.

By removing the Jew,

I eliminated the danger of the formation of a revolutionary nucleus in Germany.

Couldn't this have been solved more humanely?

Officers, we are in a fight to the death.

If our opponents won this fight...

...the German people would be exterminated.

The question came to us, what about the women and children?

I've decided to come up with a very clear solution here, too.

Because I didn't think I was entitled to exterminate the men,

that is, to let them kill, and letting their avengers grow up,

in the form of children who take revenge upon our sons and grandchildren.

The hard decision had to be made

to let these people disappear from the Earth.

I've put this together for the Führer.

But he doesn't want to watch movies any more.

The British bombed Berlin.

Thousands are dead.

Any news from Schwanenwerder? The children are there!

They hit the city center...

...not the outskirts.

I'll have the children taken away.

Take the consequences.

The generals fail

and Göring still lives in his fantasy world.

I can't and won't do that.

In times of crisis, the Reichsmarschall is cold and brutal like no one else.

Don't take the air raids so dramatically.

Most cities are poorly laid out and musty.

We'll get space for something new.

I'll have 800,000 Berliners evacuated.

But I beg you, my Führer,

speak to the people.

I'll speak after the victory.

It's five minutes to midnight.

We need a peace treaty.

The British and the Americans are on the verge of invasion.

Drive the enemy forces back into the sea.

Our engineers are working very hard on the miracle weapon.

Listen.

It's not about personal ambition.

But I am capable of recruiting one million soldiers--

When things get more serious, I resort to abnormal means. Not before!

You don't need a General Keitel.

What you need is a General Gneisenau.

In 1813, at Kolberg, he stood up to the French in a desperate situation.

I will use this material to make the greatest film ever made.

Very good.

That's your forte, Doctor. Propaganda!

Harlan is the right director for this story.

Soon 20 million will have seen Jud Süß.

I have empowered Harlan to seek help from the Wehrmacht, state and party.

For this propaganda war,

we will need thousands of soldiers as extras.

As long as you leave me a few more for the real war.

In the beginning, we propagandists worked for the army,

and now the army is working for us.

I already have the big speeches for the movie in my head.

Let's hear it.

"No love is more sacred than the love of one's country."

No joy is sweeter than the joy of freedom.

"You know what we will face if we don't win this battle with honor."

Whatever sacrifices are demanded of the individual--

...they do not outweigh the sacred values for which we fight--

...and must win.

You won't want to be worse than your fathers.

Dare to be like them.

You have their example, now set an example too!

Doctor, everything is destroyed.

The government district, the memorial church, the zoo.

Thousands of deaths.

We have to put the party at the center of all of our actions.

Good afternoon. Good afternoon.

We'll do everything we can to help you as soon as possible.

- First, you need to eat and drink. - Thank you.

If the destroyed living space causes concern,

we will say that the Führer will build six million new houses after the war.

When you hear that the Party is avoiding the frontline

we spread the word that 95% of all HJ leaders

and 68% of all SA men are serving in the Wehrmacht.

Minister, if I may ask,

do you think this will be enough?

The party is criticized openly. People say it can't go on like this.

I'm going to form an organization

that will oppose defeatists

with brute force.

Operation B.

In Berlin, I will have 3000 activists deployed.

In teams of three,

they confront anyone who says anything against the leadership.

How dare you?

Minister, I have an important message from the Führer's headquarters.

- How is he? - He has minor burns and bruises.

He is glad that you quickly made clear that he survived the attack.

Hail Hitler.

I was flung away.

Everything was on fire.

I tried to get out of there.

Keitel came towards me.

He threw himself into my arms crying and shouted, "My Führer, you're alive!"

Korten is dead. So is Brandt.

Schmundt is dying.

They were the most loyal.

Did you hear the news?

Helldorf was in on it, too.

What?

That scoundrel.

I've paid his debts at least five times. I'll have them all killed. All of them!

But I survived.

Destiny has confirmed my mission.

You work under the hand of God.

Fate has chosen you to bring our cause to a happy end.

You're right, Doctor.

Something needs to change fundamentally.

I've decided to honor your wishes.

I will make you Plenipotentiary of the Reich for an all-out war effort.

Now I have dictatorial power. I'm the first man after the Führer.

No one will dare plot against me anymore.

I affirm National Socialism.

Just as I understood it at the beginning.

I can no longer condone what is happening today.

In the absence of a way out,

everything adheres to the one single, fanatical will.

Unfortunately, personified by Goebbels.

It's disgusting to watch.

Where this treacherous dwarf--

"...makes an appearance, people flock together

and feel impressed by a handshake or an autograph."

Even the culprit Stauffenberg

is not as condemnable as Helldorf.

We gave him all the advantages.

I've come up with something very special for Helldorf.

He has to attend three executions before he gets his turn.

Show me the film. I want to see everything.

Yes?

The Führer is here.

My Führer.

It is an honor that you have accepted the invitation.

You look beautiful, Magda.

I'm sorry. These are the best I could get.

Your husband closed the flower shops.

We're happy that you're here, Uncle Führer.

My family.

The girls are real ladies.

Very elegant, like their mother.

Helmut.

You're already a real young man, aren't you?

He recently wrote an essay about the war.

Helmut, would you please read it to the Führer?

"The Jews forced the war on us.

Because the German people have too little space,

we need more habitat in the East."

You copied that from Dad.

No, Daddy copied it from me.

He's a marvelous boy. What else do you know about war?

The German people have never won a war on two fronts.

But they will never give up.

Never.

My Führer.

It is a sign of weakness trying to contact Stalin now, Doctor.

The enemy knows how weak we are.

If the people are so weak, they deserve to fall.

Let them be destroyed.

I will destroy the foundation it needs for its most primitive survival.

We now have to scrape together what's there,

even if it's women.

There are so many women who want to shoot.

If we take them to the second line, the men won't run away.

I don't know the concept of surrender.

I'm a man who's worked his way up from nothing.

I have been... living away from the world for over four and a half years.

I haven't been to the theater, in a concert or a film.

I live only for the fight.

And it can only be won with my iron willpower.

We're with you, no matter what.

I will give the German people...

...a great victory.

And I will speak on the radio.

Finally!

For far too long, I had to do without my biggest weapon.

My Führer, I congratulate you on this.

The one who settles up with life...

...usually wins.

We do not let go.

Better to be buried under rubble than to surrender.

Better to be buried under rubble than to surrender.

We won't let go.

They'll have to cut off our hands or beat us to death.

One by one.

We won't let go.

It's better to be buried under rubble than to surrender.

You are here today,

on the 12th anniversary of the takeover of power,

witnessing the world premiere

of a cinematic masterpiece.

You, the homeland...

...and the soldiers at the front in the trapped fortress of La Rochelle.

It's been two years since I commissioned Professor Harlan to make this major film

and to create an artistic homage

to the unshakable steadfastness of this people.

The greatest... is always born out of pain.

If a man takes all the pain upon himself... then...

...he is great.

Now, people, stand up!

- And-- - ...a storm breaks loose!

I will have shot anyone who does not provide resistance.

There is nothing but bad news.

Kolberg could not be kept.

Nobody can find out.

That would have consequences for the Kolberg film.

One more thing.

It seems the fortress La Rochelle...

...is handed over without a fight.

Fuel the abomination propaganda!

Russians rape women, kill children.

I have set up a resistance organization for the enemy-occupied territories.

A werewolf.

- But there isn't hardly any resistance. - Then we'll pretend there is.

You should have seen

how everyone wanted to leave as quickly as possible on the Führer's birthday.

Congratulations.

But I have again reminded the people

of the historical importance of the Führer.

If Germany is still alive today,

if Europe, and with it, the Western world,

with its culture and civilization, has not yet completely sunk

into the dark maelstrom of the dark abyss...

...you have him alone to thank for this.

Because he will be the man of this century.

Is there any hope?

The magic bullet?

It is no good.

The Führer overestimates our powers.

It seems as if he is already...

...living in the clouds.

But how often has he descended to us like a deus ex machina?

And what if not this time?

Then we will die.

All of us.

We will go down in history with him.

Glad you're here, Doctor.

All is lost.

My generals have betrayed me.

I have conquered all of Europe.

And now the Russians are in Berlin.

I will not fight.

Too great a danger I might fall into Russians hands alive

and they'll commit crimes against my body.

It will be easy to leave this agonizing existence.

One short moment, and I will be free.

We won't give up.

- I'll send for Magda and the children. - You know I don't think that's right.

But it's admirable.

We will fight until the end.

Here is the first edition of our new paper for the defenders of Greater Berlin.

We still do propaganda from the bunker.

If only everyone was cut from your cloth, Doctor.

The war is lost.

The future belongs to the stronger people of the East.

To the German people...

...I don't shed a tear.

The Führer didn't force himself.

You chose him.

And now... God be with you.

How about you, gentlemen?

Why did you work for me?

Now... your pretty little neck will be cut.

Kids, have you packed?

Uncle Führer is waiting.

Everyone just one toy.-Defenders of Berlin!

The eyes of your wives, your mothers and your children are on you.

I will of course remain in Berlin with my employees,

my wife and children are also here and will stay here.

I will defend the imperial capital with all means at my disposal.

The Mongol storm will and must be broken at the walls of our city.

You have to take the view of Frederick the Great.

He imagined himself on a distant star.

From above, events on our planet seem insignificant.

Frederick the Great had no children. Neither does the Führer.

Look around, Magda.

Our world is falling apart.

The Russians are in Berlin

and have discovered our death camps in the East.

The Americans are in Buchenwald.

You know what I think.

We have done so much.

- We can't disappear. - Joseph, it's all been discussed.

I am sure of it. I will do it.

I'm proud of you.

I survived.

I can speak for those

who cannot speak.

I speak not only for the six million Jews...

...but for all the people who were killed back then.

People have to respect people.

We're all the same.

We all come to this world the same.

That's why it is not understandable

that so many people were prepared to kill other people,

instead of recognizing them as human beings.

Be human!

That's the most important thing.
