Let me see your hands.

Jesus Christ.

That's Herman Gurg.

Who? Hitler's second command.

The fear in waiting.

I heard him.

If he gave him in the God's firmly man get back is the malto.

What did he say? He asked us to get his luggage.

Justice Jackson? That depends on if you have a good reason to be banging on

my door during the mortgage.

They captured Herman Goring alive.

Where? Austria.

What are they gonna do with it? Well, that's the real question, isn't it?

Can I come in? No.

But it's raining.

I can see that.

Are they gonna shoot him? Not that I know of.

Well, for a long time they were gonna shoot him.

Yes, sir.

Churchill and Roosevelt signed the order themselves.

An order to you.

Opposed? I'm the Supreme Court justice.

I intend to frown on executing men without a trial.

The that's what I'm here to talk about.

It can't be done.

You keep saying that because it can't be done.

Give me one good reason why not.

There's no legal precedent for a trial.

There's no international law to base charges on.

No one has ever tried war criminals outside of one nation's jurisdiction.

Because the whole concept of international law is that one country can't

tell another country citizens how to conduct themselves.

Elsie, trying these men in a German court would be different.

But what you're talking about is trying them in some sort of legal limbo

that doesn't exist, using case law that hasn't been written yet.

And on the off chance that you're not keeping track, that's about four good

reasons why not.

I'm getting you a drink.

I don't want a drink.

Then I'm getting me another and getting you one for show.

Who do you put on trial? The German commanders, enlisted men.

What about the judges who enforce the racial codes? Obviously, we'd have to

work that out.

Once you decide who to put on trial, what do you charge them with?

Conspiracy to wage aggressive war on the world.

And you want the United States to argue that as the prosecution? I do.

Against Germany, A country that never attacked us, Say, just for a second.

It could be done, Robert.

Don't you want to know how I'd do? Would have to be a completely

international effort.

All of the Allies would have to participate.

The U.S.

britain, France, Russia.

You can't do it without the Russians.

Four international judges.

You're talking about a tribunal.

Exactly. The world needs to know what these men did.

It's a logistical nightmare, I know, but it has to be done.

Pick a card.

I Don't think so.

Ask me to pick one.

Pick a card.

Now ask me to please remember it and put it back in the deck.

Please remember it and put it back in the deck.

Now shuffle.

Now what? My card was the three of spades.

Oh, that's hardly a trick.

Turn over the top one.

Who are you? I'm a psychiatrist.

Oh. And why are you going to Mondorf? I wish I knew.

They send psychiatrists on secret missions now.

I'm pretty sure I'm the first.

How did you do that with the cards? I didn't do anything.

You're a really good magician,

Dr. Kelly.

Sergeant Howie Trius at your service.

I'm gonna run you one of the commandant's office tigers, huh? Yes, sir.

Perhaps I'll see you around Germany.

Who is that? Not how he was a very attractive woman.

She said Commandant.

Yes, sir.

Philanderson. So, can you tell me what I'm supposed to be doing here? I

thought the war was over.

I couldn't say.

Couldn't say because you don't know or you couldn't say because somebody

told you you couldn't say? I couldn't say.

Don't get sore at me, doc.

I'm just a translator.

Translator for What? Let's see,

Dr. Kelly, apparently central Command thinks you're some kind of hotshot

head shrinker.

I imagine you have some questions for me.

More than a few.

Let's get to it.

You are standing inside a secret military prison.

It currently houses what's left of the Nazi high command.

The governments of Russia, France, Great Britain and our United States are

deciding right now whether to put these men on trial for their lives.

You have been brought in to inspect and ensure the prisoner's mental health

should that trial go forward.

Suicide. That'll be the main concern with most of the prisoners.

Hitler, Goebbels and Himmler have already taken their own lives.

We cannot afford any more losses.

Goebbels and Himmler did it with this hidden cyanide capsule.

The one you'll have to watch the closest is Goering.

Isn't Herman Goering? That's the one.

Herman Goering's here.

Sergeant, is it possible the major suffered a large blow to his head on the

way to my office? Not that I'm aware of, sir.

Sorry, it's just a lot to process.

Sure it is.

Try and do it faster.

Yes, sir.

When Guring surrendered, he was traveling with his family.

He had over a million dollars in German currency and jewelry and a large

quantity of these.

We had them sent back to the States for classification? Pericodian.

Fairly potent painkiller.

I'm a fan.

He says it for his heart.

Well, then I have a rather large bridge in Brooklyn to sell you.

These have nothing to do with the heart.

They're an opiate.

How many pills does he take a day, sergeant? 40, sir.

Well, I think it's safe to say the Reich Marshal's got a drug problem.

Where's his family now? They've been released.

And they're not your concern.

Your only job is to evaluate Goering and the others.

That is it.

Sir, I'm a good doctor, but the entire Nazi high command might be a little

bit beyond my area of expertise.

Believe me, Major, this was not my idea.

Dismissed.

It was not great about toxicity.

Commandant's not known for his warmth.

What are we doing? Oh, gurring.

Right now you don't want to get settled first? I want to know what I'm

dealing with.

All right.

Well, don't be too intimidated.

I'm not telling about him.

Reich Marshall Herman Guring, President of the Reichstag, Minister of

Aviation, Commander in Chief of the Luftwaffe, Minister of Economics, a

founding member of the Gestapo secret police.

Was appointed Hitler's successor in 1939.

And is the highest ranking German military officer of all time.

Okay, now I'm a little intimidated.

Don't be.

You're good.

Marshall Guring, My name is Dr.

Douglas Kelly.

My number is Dr.

Douglas Kelly, he says.

Wonderful. A doctor I am.

May I take your pulse?

He's been asking for his pills.

He wants you to get them for him.

I understand you've had heart trouble.

I've had several minor heart attacks.

And the pills help with that? Can you open your shirt, please?

Respiration is rapid and shallow.

Don't translate that.

The pills help with the pain as well.

He says he was shot down in World War I.

He has a bullet in his right hip.

And in 1923, he was shot in the groin during the Munich Pooch.

You've been shot a lot, Sir

Perovsky? Occupational hazard, Mom.

If you really want to look after your heart, the best way to do that is to

lose some weight.

Frau, I sure you were looking at the best physique in all of Germany.

Just ask my wife.

I'm sure you're right, sir.

But the guards here call you fat stuff.

I'm sure it would be difficult for a lesser man to is this way.

But you possess a fortitude and discipline that others do not.

Yes.

You see, this man is different.

We're going to be good friends.

I'm sure of It.

I look forward to that.

Good day.

Halfway is in

inflated sense of self.

Charming. Speaks English.

What? Oh.

What? What? What? Yeah.

The way he looked at me when I called him fat.

Yeah, he understood me.

He's been playing you.

No, no.

Why would he pretend? The translation gives him more time to consider his

answers. He thinks that gives him an advantage.

Wait, hold on.

You're saying I spent the last three months mumbling to myself while he

understood every word? Pretty much.

Jeremy. Are you gonna tell him that you know? No, no, no.

He's gonna tell me when he's ready.

When's that? When he determines I'm not a threat.

I want to meet the rest of him.

Who's next? Dr.

Robert Ley, Chief of the German Labor Front.

One of Hitler's earliest followers.

He once wrote a book that was so complimentary to the Fuhrer that Hitler had

the entire run destroyed because he was so embarrassed.

Get over that fuckin lay who spearheaded the Nazi slave labor program was

captured in his pajamas calling himself Dr.

Distelmeyer.

I'm not like these other power hungry men you have locked up in here.

He's wasting you.

I can smell the Jew.

Great Admiral Carl Donets, the German Navy's commander in chief.

Architect of the Ubot attack that crippled the British Navy Admir and drone.

Murder of prisoners in the high seas.

A fanatical Nazi.

With the arrest of Jonitz, the Third Reich is ended forever.

I've been in custody for 76 days.

I have yet to be formally arrested or charged with a specific crime which is

a direct violation of the Geneva Convention.

To charge me or release me.

Julius Stryker.

Hitler's director of propaganda.

Publisher of the national anti Semitic paper Disturma.

Stryker, dubbed the high priest of anti Semitism and the beast of Franconia,

led the Jewish Po and ruled Nuremberg with an iron fist.

He wants to know if you're a Jew.

No. I was the Aright Ninj.

But you work in a Jewish profession.

Came from the doctor.

What do you fight for? Dr.

Gerd is the key.

The leader of a nation in exile.

He binds them all together.

He's begun a strict self imposed diet and exercise regimen and is going cold

turkey on the pills.

It's almost as if he's training for something.

If one were to write a book about him.

Is there a library in town? You want to go to a library? Yes.

At 2:33 in the morning? Yes.

Get your coat.

I'll get my coat.

The sheer amount of narcissists we got locked up in that hotel.

I Bet at least half have books in here written about them.

Or written by them.

We're gonna figure these guys out.

Oh, yeah? You speak a lot of German, Doc? Not even a little.

How'd you learn? My mother spoke German.

And I wanted to be like her.

You really think you can do it? Do what? These guys.

To open up to you.

Sure. Ow.

Everybody wants to be listened to.

It's a natural instinct.

I learn about them, I get them to trust me, they open up.

Make it sound so easy.

What if we could dissect each other? Evil.

What sets these men apart from all others? What enabled them to commit the

crimes that they did.

It almost took over the world.

You've heard about the work camps for Jews?

Rumor has it they weren't just work camps.

I've heard.

So how do people become like that? We actually have a shot to figure that

out. To find out what makes the Germans different.

Different from us.

A man who writes a book about that can make a lot of money.

You know, for a second, I thought you were being noble.

You want noble? Fine.

If we could psychologically define evil, we can make sure something like

this never happens again.

What's going on? Herman Goring can't breathe.

Howie.

His airway is clear.

That's good, right? He's having a heart attack.

What? Where the hell's a prison doctor? He's on his way.

All right, tell him to hurry.

Howie, get some aspirin.

Plain old ordinary aspirin.

Get it, not go.

Hey, hey, hey.

Park's still beating, which means you're alive.

I'm going to keep you that way, okay? I need you to stay calm.

All right? Breathe with me.

In and out.

In and out.

I'm here.

I'm here.

Look at me.

I'm here.

I'm not going to let you die.

All right.

In and.

Is that your wife? She's here.

She's here.

Hand me a few of them.

Thank you, Howie.

Best thing for the heart.

Trust me.

Breathe in and out.

Yeah. Your pulse is slow.

Yeah. Hey, guess what? You're alive.

You're alive.

Well, how about that? Thank you.

Let's get him to the intermerry.

Man

you smiled for

he said thank you in English.

Truman wants to win re election in four years.

Indeed. He's not gonna do that Coddling.

The Nancy's true enough.

Plus a trial, I mean, has given them a chance to tell their stories to the

world. What are we afraid to hear them tell? We won the damn war.

Bob, if you do this, it'll turn into the biggest boondoggle of all time

cameras in the damn courtroom.

What if they're sympathetic? What if all this does is provide them with a

platform for anti Semitism all over the world? What? Be responsible for

that? You want to know if I'm comfortable executing a few nances without a

trial? Damn right I am.

It doesn't matter anyway.

I'll never get the Russians.

We got the Russians.

What? We got the Russians.

We did.

Truman called Stalin himself.

Looking at Nikachenko for lead prosecutor.

That's fantastic news.

I have no idea who you are.

Colonel John Ammons, sir.

I work for the Judge Advocate General.

So the army sent us a lawyer? Yes, sir.

I bring greetings from General Eisenhower, who says he wants you to know

that he's not for hanging anyone without a trial.

Well, that's progress.

He also says he hopes the trial won't take too long so we can get on with

hanging them.

Have a seat.

I've heard a lot about you, sir.

They say you're gonna be the next Chief Justice.

President promised him the seat personally and swore me to secrecy.

So let's maybe not tell everyone who walks into the office about it, okay?

Well, everyone in my office says there's no way you get the trial.

What do you say? I say I like an underdog.

Good morning, Julius.

I'm gonna show you a series of cards, each with inkblots.

And you're gonna tell me what each inkblot makes you see.

Perhaps it will reveal something about your character, your intelligence,

creativity. And everything here stays between us.

Her doctor.

Yes? I can't speak to you in English.

If it is of some help.

Only if it makes you comfortable.

Shall we begin? Shmettling.

Butterfly. And a hex Witch does the same.

Director. Torpedo travel.

Torpedo head.

Somebody has spilled something.

I see 10,000 horses.

I see the Valkyries.

Right. And a vagina.

A vagina.

And a vaginal.

A vagina.

A Jewish vagina.

This is blood.

Whose blood? Or ink? You can say a lot of things with ink.

I'm sorry, Bob.

Word came down tonight it's gonna be a no.

Congress is going to say no to the trial.

They just want executions.

I'm out of moves.

Well, what about the President? President wants someone to hide behind.

That's why he needs Congress.

Neither will do it without the other.

So you need someone bigger to back it.

Oh, come on.

Who's bigger than the

Jesus Christ? Literally.

Are you a Catholic? I am now.

The Holy Father will see you now.

You wish to put this man on trial for their lives and you have come to Ask

for the Church's blessing in this.

Your support would go a long way to building an international consensus.

No one denies these men are evil.

But an eye for an eye is not the answer.

Maybe not.

But I'm pretty sure where I first read about her.

Are you Catholic? No, sir.

A religious man? Not especially.

And yet at whom they call you a justice? I didn't pick the name.

If you sit long enough in judgment of others, you come to believe the laws

of men outweigh the laws of God.

I don't believe that.

Then what do you believe? I believe in man.

In our capacity to save ourselves from men like the Nazis.

I believe this to be a good act once so good you must circumnavigate your

own laws to achieve it.

I'm sorry, but the Catholic Church cannot support you in this.

But you could support them.

In 1933.

I'm sorry.

You signed the concordat with Hitler yourself.

That was a different matter.

You lived in Munich.

You were the nuncio to the German Empire.

The Catholic Church was the first world power to acknowledge the purest

state. You gave the Nazis credibility in order to protect Catholics in

Germany. Isn't it a pity the Jews didn't have someone to do that for them?

Do you think I condone what I did?

People will remember, sir.

What you did in 1933, what you do now.

They'll tell their children.

Did the Catholic Church stand with the Nazis or against them?

Did you just blackmail the Pope? I don't want to talk about it.

Word came down last night.

It's going to be a trial.

The trial.

Good. Good.

As it should be, Peter.

That's a decision.

Those cards that you showed me.

What did they teach you about me? Honestly? That you are highly intelligent.

I could have told you this.

And that you're a narcissist.

Given to an expansive and aggressive fantasy life.

With a strong ambition and drive to subjugate the world as you find it.

To your own pattern of thinking.

And you were surprised by this? No.

Send to cards have taught you nothing else? He tells me you do magic.

Ein Zaubert.

Sorry. Yes, well, perhaps if it's not too much trouble.

We don't get entertainment.

Why not? Here's an average ordinary silver dollar.

Tada.

Very good.

Very good.

I will show you a magic trick one day.

What's that? I am going to escape the hangman's noose.

How do you plan on doing that? If I were to tell you, it would not be a

trick. No.

Mark.

There's the intervals of the alien Face.

And it's a sticks very wish.

You see what the Allies are capable of.

There's nothing left.

Up is in nothing.

Except that

palace of justice.

The roof's been damaged by the air raids.

Fire gutted the upper floors and collapsed the clock tower.

But this courtroom should be able to hold 600 people when it's finished.

What's with all the supplies? Nazis fought their last stand here when the

city was taken, sir.

They will again.

All the beautiful cities in this conquered land, you want to try them in

this bummed out husk? This is Sir David Maxwell Fife, Assistant prosecutor

for the British.

Yes, sir, we do.

For one thing, we can control the space.

For another, there's an adjoining prison with room for up to 1200 inmates.

When he needs space for 22.

I'm sorry, 22, sir? That's the number of men we're indicting for the first

trial. You see, if we don't win that trial, there won't be any more trials

to come.

And you, myself, and Justice Jackson and our respective governments will be

the laughing stock of the world, defeated by the very men we've imprisoned.

So that will be fun.

My friends in Washington say opinions turned against you.

There's talk that you won't get the Chief Justice's seat when Stone steps

down. Well, who's tremendously gonna pick? Vincent's too political.

Yes, but he's there.

So things become a sideshow, Rod.

Hasn't even begun.

They say you're writing all the briefs yourself, refusing help from other

lawyers because it has to be done right.

And it will.

But you can't do it alone.

Well, everything will be fine once we actually get to trial.

You say that as though trying the Nazi high command with untested case law,

the whole world watching, is going to be the easy part.

Well, when you put it like that.

Anything less than total victory will be considered utter defeat.

Which means you don't just have to win, Robert.

You have to be flawless.

No pressure.

I love another.

Your cells are made of stone, 9ft by 13.

Your beds are bolted to the wall.

Your mattress is stuffed with straw instead of springs.

Your desks are made of cardboard and will not support a man's full weight.

Your chairs are never allowed against any wall and will be removed every

night at sundown.

When you sleep, your head and hands will remain above your blanket, visible

at all times.

You will be given no belts.

You will be given no shoelaces.

You will be given no toilet seats.

You will be given nothing with which to use as a weapon.

To take your own lives.

Welcome to Nuremberg.

Now this is a cell you prove Sherman built.

How could I not?

They will charge us soon.

Yeah. You looking forward to it? I believe I am.

I will have, as you say, my day in court.

Do you know this Jackson? The Justice Jackson? No, I do not.

He will try to outwit me, but he will not succeed.

Very sure of yourself, Doctor.

No man has ever beaten me.

There are books filled with the names of those who have tried.

Yeah. Here you said

German belt.

You think I am at some sort of disadvantage because I sit in a cell? I will

remind you I surrendered.

This is exactly that I desire to be curring.

Remains an enigma to me.

The closer we get to the indictments, the more confident he becomes.

I need to figure out a way to get closer to him.

So how do we do that?

We ask for his help.

With what? Rudolph.

Rudolph. Rudolph S.

Is coming here.

Rudolf Hess, Deputy to the Fuhrer, third in line for succession following

Hitler and Goering has transcribed mine called comp for Hitler while the two

were in prison and was known as one of his most fanatical followers.

See? Hey.

Never do that in my prison again.

On May 10, 1941, at the height of the war has climbed into a mer Schmidt

fighter playing alone and food over the North Sea.

He bailed out somewhere over Scotland and broke his ankle upon impact.

Upon his discovery, he announced that he was Rudolf Hess, third in line of

the German High Command.

And he was here on a mission of peace and wanted to speak with Douglas.

Douglas Hamilton, the 13th Duke of Hamilton, whom Hess had met at the 1936

Olympic Games in Berlin.

After some obstacles, Hess was granted his meeting.

There he announced his intention to meet with King George vi, have Winston

Churchill fired and negotiate a truce with Britain, allowing the two nations

to join forces and defeat the Soviet Union.

Hess was immediately thrown into the Tower of London.

There Hess began claiming he had no memory of past events, even his

childhood. This lasted until February 1945, when he said his previous

amnesia had been faked.

He then flipped again and said his amnesia had returned in July 1945 when

Germany collapsed.

So now you would come to hemanguring to discredit my old friend.

What would be in this for me?

What do you want?

My wife and my daughter.

No one has been able to locate them since I surrendered.

I need you to find them for my doctor to give to them.

These. Let us

first we talk to Hess and then your family.

How about that? So what, this guy almost takes over the whole world and now

he wants to do a mail run for Doc.

I'm in deeper with this guy than anyone's ever been.

And meeting his family will only tell me more.

So, Rudolph.

Do you remember me?

We were together.

Yes, that must have been the case.

But I don't remember anyone.

It was the screen of a screw door.

You

ruled an empire.

I'm sorry.

You may well have been a friend, but I don't know know you anymore.

He is lying.

He has just spent an hour to say he does not remember me.

But when he arrived in the prison and he saw me.

What did he do? Salute.

Seek. Higher.

That was very good.

This is dumb.

I'm dumb.

I knew you'd come through for me.

Yeah. Cause I'm a dummy.

How'd you find them? Local gossip told me they're in Beldische.

Sign. Smoke.

Never see you smoke? Yeah.

I don't gave it up.

Apparent is always got them on you.

It's a trick to get in good with the officers.

Tell myself I'll have a smoke when the war is done.

War is done.

Howie. Not too much farther.

Where is that? Alice? Good.

Mrs. G.

Mrs. G.

My name is Douglas Kelly.

I work at the prison.

I'm a psychiatrist.

My name is Douglas Kelly.

Your husband asked me to bring you some letters.

Yes.

How is he? He's good.

Holding up.

Let's get him.

Gucci.

Eda, Was that you playing?

That's beautiful.

Residency Mama Freunder von Ein.

Father.

She said he's a friend of your father.

Edda. I guess.

Papa. How is Papa?

He's doing very well.

St. Mortes.

Is he being brave? Very brave.

He wants me to be brave too.

He wrote you a letter.

Duncan

Dun. She wound me up 100 times.

Thank you.

Thank

doctor.

Sir. Hammond.

I don't know if I can

come back.

Okay, Doc.

What the hell?

What's going on? Word came down a couple of hours ago.

We're charging the prisoners.

Where have you been?

Herman Goring.

I am Rice.

Marshall Herman Wilhelm Goering.

You are hereby charged by the United States of America, the French Republic,

United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and the Union of Soviet

Socialist Republics on the following four counts.

Crimes against peace, war crimes, crimes against humanity and of a common

plan or conspiracy to commit those crimes.

The crimes against humanity you're accused of include murder, extermination,

enslavement, deportation and other inhumane acts.

This is a copy of your indictment.

Do you have any questions? Night.

Good day.

Who's next? Striker,

do you have any questions?

What did he say? He said he wants A Jewish lawyer.

I'm not going to trial.

You are.

Dr. Lang.

I never killed anyone.

It's okay.

It's okay.

It's okay.

Robert. Don't touch me.

Hold him.

Come out.

Get a hold.

Don't try me as a common criminal.

Come on.

Shoot me.

Shoot me.

Shoot me.

A tail, skin, a task A brown and yellow basket I sent a letter to my mouth

all the way I dropped it I trapped it I trapped it yes, all the way I

dropped it and laid a skirt in.

Lady from the train.

Magic Man.

How goes the secret mission? Seen a few obstacles.

I can see that.

What are you doing here? I came in with the press.

Hermann Gowering and the Nazis are being indicted today.

You know what I'm saying? Strap yourself in.

This city's about to become the greatest show on earth.

Sam.

Yes, sir.

Don't.

Dateline nberg as dark rumors continue to swirl about the true purpose of

the Nazi work camps, the legal teams are are assembling for what promises to

be the trial of the century.

Through this tunnel, the Nazis will be taken to the courtroom, now being

rebuilt for the trial.

There, the film lights will be so bright that the courtgoers will be

provided with sunglasses.

Herman Goring and his Hitler loving cronies are scheduled to face off with

our boys in one week.

Will justice prevail or will the fascists go free? This reporter desperately

hopes that the Allies run into no problems.

We have a problem.

Operation Viserbund was the German invasion of Denmark and Norway in 1940.

Textbook aggressive war.

The Nazis, they roll tanks in, they occupy neutral country.

Except they're going to claim that the invasion was a preemptive strike.

To preempt what? The British plan to invade Norway.

Well, that's ridiculous.

Absolutely ridiculous.

I'm in complete agreement.

It concerns me that you're in this room right now.

Well, in addition to being ridiculous, it also happens to be true.

The idea was to use the country as a staging area to hold the Nazis back.

We can't prosecute the Nazis for planning aggressive wars.

If you guys were planning aggressive wars.

I admit there's a certain logic there.

Can the Nazis prove it? The German lawyer has already put in a request for

the documents.

But they don't have it.

Not yet.

But we're in the clear.

Maybe, but it raises a bigger issue.

We have to know what the Nazis know, what their defense strategy is.

How exactly to propose we do that.

P. Kelly, you are going to meet someone very important this evening.

This might actually be your chance to find to be of some Use.

Impressive, right?

Hitler was building it to be the largest stadium on the planet.

You're just as Jacks and you're the shrink.

This is where they held the rallies.

Every year, Hitler would pack this place, speak to the Nazi party as a

whole. They filmed it in 1935.

This is where he announced the Nuremberg Laws.

You know the laws? The Nuremberg Laws defined a Jew as any person having

three or four Jewish grandparents.

It didn't matter if you practiced Judaism, if you converted to Christianity.

This was about blood.

The law stripped all Jews of German citizenry.

They made it illegal for Jews and Germans to marry each other because of the

fear of Rasenshande defilement of the blood.

Under the laws, Jews were prohibited from using state hospitals and not

allowed access to public education beyond the age of 14.

Libraries, parks and beaches were closed to Jews.

War memorials had all Jewish names on them, expunged.

All of that was announced right here on this very ground.

What do you want from me? Your patients.

I need you to start asking them the right questions.

What are the right questions? What they tell their lawyers, how they plan to

defend themselves.

You want me to be a spy? I want you to do your duty for your country.

No, you want me to break doctor patient confidentiality.

I think you already have.

Doctor. We read every report.

We need more.

Why not just shoot them? That's whatever he wants.

I mean, if you're just gonna cheat.

Let's not cheat.

If you're asking me to betray my oath, why not just shoot them and be done

with it?

After the last great war, we made Germany crawl, we humiliated them, made

them pay reparations they can afford.

We made them hate us so much that in less than two decades, they went from a

broken nation to near world conquerors.

We have to do this right.

Because if we don't, if 15 years from now, they come back even stronger, I

don't know if we can beat them a third time.

If we just shoot these men, we make them martyrs.

I'm not gonna allow them that.

There will be no statues of them, no songs of praise.

I'm gonna put Herman Goering on the stand, and I'm gonna make him tell the

world what he did so that it can.

You brought me here because of Curry? Now,

I brought you here to show you that before the bullets were fired, before

tens of millions of men died.

All of this started with laws.

This war ends in a courtroom with Guerin.

He's the face of the Nazis now.

As he falls, so do they all.

But if I'm Gonna do that? I.

I need to be ready for him.

Will you help me?

Let's talk about Hitler.

It is interesting you have not asked me this directly before.

I'm curious what the attraction was.

There's a failed painter, not a very good soldier.

Yet he's worshipped and revered.

He made us feel German again.

How? There's a wait in Germany crashed.

And along comes a man who says we can reclaim our former glory.

Would you not follow a man like this? Depends what else you wanted to do.

The first time I saw Hitler talk was 1922, upstairs of a coffee shop for

maybe 30 people.

This was peace time.

But it was a peace without food, jobs, shoes.

And he stood up and he said, French bellies are being filled with German

pain. Then if you make threats, you need bayonets.

Grill down with Versailles.

So that night I became a National Socialist off of one's means.

Well, I could tell he would appeal to the old soldiers.

If we have the old soldiers, who have the manpower.

Even with his anti Semitism, it served a practical purpose.

It brought towards us men who needed something else to focus their emotions.

Something else to blame.

And the camps?

They were to be work camps for our political opponents.

Nothing more.

And you signed off on that for her capture? Do not think that the Japanese

interred by the Americans after Pearl Harbor.

They're not put the work.

Of course they were.

I made the camps for the good of Germany.

For the war effort, not for death.

Himmler, Heydrich, they were responsible.

If it is true what they say happened in the camps, this is a grave plight on

the great German Reich.

Have you told your lawyer about this? Douglas, I will not stand against the

fuel. Not even if I could help you? These are not things people need to

know, Doctor, Only you

he can be sympathetic.

It's gonna be a problem for you.

He seriously claims that he thought there were only work camps.

That's right.

You believe him? Himmler ran the camps, right? He was the head of the ss.

Guring was the head of the Air Force.

How often in America does the head of the Air Force know what the head of

the Secret Service is doing? I'm sorry, but I cannot believe that we're

having this conversation right now.

I'm doing what you asked.

No, you're apologizing for him.

Gentlemen, please.

I'm not the one defending the Nazi.

You think I'm defending him? I am analyzing him.

You provincial.

Guring is, above all things, a narcissist.

The only thing he cares about is building Germany up and then becoming her

leader. He does not care about the Jews.

So he's fine with them dying.

And he's fine with them not.

The only thing Herman Gurren cares about is is perman guring.

Does that sound like a man who dedicates himself to the extermination of an

entire race?

Well, Dr.

Kelly, I really appreciate your thoughtfulness on this.

But I have to admit it is very hard to believe.

You want to walk into that courtroom with a handful of assumptions, fine.

But he will eat you for breakfast.

He must me for my nosball knowledge.

I would like to apologize for my outburst earlier.

I'm feeling much better.

That's kind, doctor.

I thought chance it took anew.

Something seems to be troubling you.

I'm fine.

We get this good, good bouncing back.

And as well don't worry as hard as you goodbye.

For by sign this will all be over.

Le's mood is markedly improved.

He told us he has begun making arrangements for his defense.

I feel as though for the first time he's reached out to me.

Ripped out the hem of his towel to make a rope.

Stuffed his underwear into his mouth so he wouldn't scream.

And then just leaned forward.

Apparently with a great deal of determination.

You didn't see any of this coming? He told me he was doing better.

Told you.

Supposed to keep them alive.

I'm bringing in another doctor.

It's been determined a second opinion is required for some of your patients.

Dr. Gilbert arrives this afternoon.

You will brief him.

How do you feel about suicide?

The last refuge of Carlshill are the last act of a desperate man.

So all of his exceptions, of course

you are in trouble.

Why would you say that? New doctor, new tests.

Since Ly died, they no longer trust you.

You're wrong, Douglas.

When you are in a position of power, they will always come after you.

You have to protect yourself.

Why would I have to protect myself from my allies? Just because a man is

your ally does not mean he is on your side.

My father was a diplomat.

Did I tell you this? No.

Yeah. He was posted to Africa.

And it was there he was to meet his best friend.

A man named Herman von Epstein.

I was named after him.

Yeah. I was named for a Jew.

We loved Uncle Herman so much.

He was very rich.

He lived in Frozenstein Castle.

And when I was six years old, he moved my entire family in with him.

Can you imagine? It was a child's dream to live in such a castle.

I would run down the halls pretending I was a knight.

I would stare down from the battlements, envisioning Armies swarming to

attack Uncle Herman.

He lived in the largest and most beautiful room on the top floor.

Down the hall, my mother had a bedroom, also beautiful.

My father, he lived in a small bedroom on the ground floor.

And I was to realize just how rich Uncle Herman was.

So rich that he could move my family in.

So rich that he could put my father on the ground floor.

So rich that whenever he wanted, he could walk down the hall

and enjoy my mother.

Just because a man is your ally does not mean he is on your side.

You found Herman.

Going to be imaginative? I didn't find him to be that way.

The test did.

Well, that is what a second opinion is for.

Which brings us to Rudolf Hess.

I'm inclined to believe that his amnesia is genuine.

You mean the part where he forgets about being a Nazi? Okay, look, Dr.

Kelly, I'm not here to step on your toes, okay? I'll share research.

We'll co author.

Co author what? You don't have to play coy with me.

We're both here for the same reason.

Now, two books about the Nazi high command.

That's gonna cut into the market.

I say we read it.

Good luck with your tests,

Doctor.

Come to be dying.

Sa

is. She was surprised.

She was astounded.

Teach me this trick.

The coin behind the ear.

Oh, yeah.

Teach Mrs.

Trixo. I, too, can astound her.

I gave my silver dollar to your daughter.

It's the simplest trick in the world.

And it works because, you know, people want to believe.

You hold up the dollar and you say, hey, folks, here is an ordinary, average

silver dollar.

Then you put it in your other hand and you focus on it.

But really, it's right here.

You palm it in your right hand.

Palm it.

Keep it between these two fingers.

And you wrap your palm around it.

Bring focus on your left hand.

And you feel the coin in there, the weight of it, right? And if you believe

it, then they'll believe it.

And then you just.

You reach behind the ear.

Abracadabra.

What's this? Abracadabra.

It's a magic words.

It gives the illusion of a cosmic weight.

And it always must be A.B.

no, it could be anything.

It could be presto.

I think I prefer ab.

So it was your father who taught you this trick? Well, my father.

No. You say that like it is unthinkable.

And my father was content to ply his trade and display a cheerful

disposition. He was a man of no accomplishment.

But you believe you are destined for more.

You want to be known as a great man.

Yes. And I am your ticket.

You will return to America as the great scholar of the Nazis.

And I will have a trick to impress my daughter when this trial is done.

Stop taking me with you to see him.

Didn't want to bother you so late.

Been seeing him a lot without me.

What are you doing, Doc? Trying to learn something.

You sure that's what this is still about?

Good night, Howie.

Are you gonna defend yourself, Herman? Oh, would not you like to know? I'm

serious.

Are we friends, doctor? I think that word is a little too simple for what we

are. But are you asking, Mrs.

As a friend,

I am.

Tomorrow, when I enter my plea, I will read a statement.

I am going to say that I assume all responsibility for my actions.

I will refuse, however, to accept responsibility for acts committed by

others that I was unaware of and I would not have approved of.

But I did.

I did for my country.

Tell me you would not do the same for yours.

They told me I could find you here.

In seven hours, the whole world is going to be focused on this room.

This is it.

This is everything.

This is the statement that Gary plans on reading tomorrow.

Thank you.

It

return.

Let's go.

Jesus.

All

right. It

please. Your honors,

the privilege of opening the first trial in history for crimes against the

peace of the world imposes a grave responsibility.

The wrongs which we seek to condemn and punish have been so calculated, so

malignant and so devastating that civilization cannot tolerate their being

ignored. Because we cannot survive.

They're being repeated.

In the prisoner's dock sit 20 odd broken men.

We will show them to be living symbols of racial hatreds, of terrorism and

violence, and of the arrogance and cruelty of power.

Civilization can afford no compromise by dealing ambiguously or indecisively

with the men in whom these forces now precariously survive.

Wars are no longer local.

All modern wars become world wars eventually.

And none of the big nations can stay out.

But the ultimate step in avoiding periodic wars in a system of international

lawlessness is to make statesmen responsible for the law.

And let me make clear that while this law is first applied against German

aggressors, it must condemn aggression by any other nation, including those

who sit here now in judgment.

We are able to do away with domestic tyranny and violence and aggression by

those in power against the rights of their own people.

Only when we make all men answerable to the law.

Herman Garry.

The defendants are to plead guilty or not guilty to the charges against

them. They will proceed in turn to a point in the dock opposite to the

microphone.

I am Herman Wilhelm Curry.

I stand before the court today and the world.

I pledge only to tell the truth.

The tribunal has reached the decision that the defendants are not entitled

to make a statement.

They will be permitted to address the court prior to their sentencing.

As Reichmarshal of Germany, you are not Reichsmarschall here.

You are only Herman Goering, the prisoner.

Do you plead guilty or not guilty?

What happened? What happened? Where are they? What? Where are they? They

took that.

Who? Americans.

I need a favor.

You gotta be shitting me.

Thanks. I'm gonna need it.

They've arrested Emmy Gary on suspicion of complicity with her husband's art

thefts. The kid goes to the nuns.

No contact allowed.

They're women and children.

Yeah. Sir, we're supposed to be better than this.

It's out of my hands.

And you're welcome.

By the way, how did you know where she was hiding?

She sh.

Did e play for you again

instead? She's very talented.

She likes you.

Do you have the letters? No.

No letters.

Unfortunately, no next time.

Here's my new doctor.

You are just talking about my family.

Ah, yes.

I'm sorry to hear about that.

About what? Their arrest.

Your wife and daughter were arrested five days ago.

He didn't tell you?

Hey. Hey.

What the hell was that? That was me being honest with my patience.

Something you ought to try sometime.

You destroyed him in there.

So?

Jesus Christ.

Your mental health professionals.

For Christ's sake.

Dr. Gilbert, would you like me to place Dr.

Kelly under arrest?

No, sir.

Then get out of my goddamn office.

Cinema.

All right.

May it please the court, the prosecution would now like to enter into

evidence the following film footage.

The images you are about to see have never before been shown in public.

This film should offer a brief explanation of what the words concentration

camp implied.

These are the locations of the largest concentration and prison camps

maintained throughout Germany and occupied Europe under the Nazi regime.

The 4th Armored Division of General Patton's 3rd army liberated this camp

early in April.

They see the woodshed where lime covered bodies are stacked in layers and

the stench is overpowering.

Slave labor camp at Nordhausen Liberated by the 3rd Armored Division, 1st

Army. At least 3,000 political prisoners died here at the brutal hands of SS

troops and pardoned German criminals who were the camp guard.

Nordhausen has been a depository for slaves found unfit for work in the

underground depot bomb plants and in other German camps and factories.

Amid the corpses are human skeletons too weak to move.

None of our medical battalions work two days and nights binding wounds and

giving medications.

But for advanced cases of Starvation and tuberculosis.

There are often no cures.

The survivors are shown being evacuated for treatment in allied hospitals.

I'm Lieutenant Senior Grade Jack H.

Taylor, U.S.

navy of Hollywood, California.

Believe it or not, it's the first time I've ever been in the movies.

I was captured December 1st.

I was taken to this Muckhausen concentration locker.

An extermination camp where we have been starving and beaten and killed.

Fortunately, my turn hadn't come

five or six ways.

By cast, by shooting, by feeding.

That is feeding with clubs.

By exposure, that is standing out in the snow naked for 48 hours and having

cold water thrown on them.

In the middle of winter, starvation, dogs and pushing over 100 foot cliff.

This is all true, has been seen and is now being recorded.

Nationalities and prison numbers are tattooed on the stomachs of the

inmates.

In the official report.

The Buchenwald camp is termed an extermination factory.

Bodies stacked one upon the other were found outside the crematory,

the body disposal plant.

Inside are the ovens which gave the crematorium a maximum disposal capacity

of about 400 bodies per 10 hour day.

Eh, near mention one of the oldest of the Nazi prison camp.

This is what the liberators found.

Inside the building,

hanging in orderly roads, were the clothes of prisoners who had been

suffocated in a lethal gas tank.

They had been persuaded to remove their clothing under the pretext of taking

a shower, for which towels and soap were provided.

Sanitary conditions were so appalling that heavy equipment had to be brought

in to speed the work of cleaning up.

This was Bergen, Belgium.

How's that possible?

What I just saw?

How is it possible?

Himler Himmler wasn't second in command.

You were 1200 camps.

What am I supposed to believe? That you didn't know? Anyone can fake an

atrocity? So you're saying the film was a fake? That's your defense? What

would you have me say? How about the truth for once so you can run and tell

Jackson? My friend, your hypocrisy is stunning.

My hypocrisy? You think American bullets and bombs don't kill people? You

vaporize 150,000 Japanese at the touch of a button.

And you presume to stand in judgment on me for war crimes? We had every

right to defend ourselves.

How do you defend yourself on someone else's soil? There's a difference

between us bombing war factories and civilians dying as collateral damage.

And you building 1200 human slaughterhouses designed to exterminate an

entire race as you know it.

What do you think war is

now What I saw today.

What do you think the Russians do to German prisoners of war? You have your

freedom and I am a prisoner.

Because you won and we lost.

Not because you are morally superior.

This trial will be a farce in 15 years.

Great conquerors are not thought of as murderers.

Genghis Khan.

Alexander the Great.

You are not Alexander the Great.

You are a fat man in a cell.

And you knew.

I have made a mistake.

You are not destined for more.

You will have an unhappy life.

I think it will all be overshadowed by this.

By the time spent with me.

You will write your volumes trying to relive it.

The one moment in your life when you actually stood for greatness.

You think you're a great man?

You think that's your legacy? At least I will have one.

You will leave no mark on this world.

I am the book.

You are merely a footnote.

They're going to kill you.

They're going to hang you by the neck till you piss yourself and die.

Your wife will be a widow.

Your daughter will be an orphan.

And you will have done that to yourself.

I know who you are.

What's he like? You don't want to know.

Jackson's putting him on the stand day after tomorrow.

Jackson's gonna get killed.

Why do you say that? Because Gearing is ready for him.

He was ready for all of us.

Why don't you tell me all about about it? Look at that.

Your private conversations with Herman Gearing made the front page.

Sir. You're finished.

I signed your transfer order this morning.

You're to be sent back to the States where you'll be discharged.

You have embarrassed me and this office for the last time.

Sorry, Colonel.

You deserve better.

Yes, I did.

And just so you know, we are releasing Gehring's wife and daughter.

You were right.

We are better than that.

Thank you, sir.

Your train's at 5 o'.

Clock. Don't take this the wrong way, but I never want to see you again.

Can I say goodbye? Did you really mean it? Mr.

Jackson had no chance.

Sure. It's all just a big show for the cameras anyway.

So it doesn't matter what happens tomorrow.

If Guring beats Jackson, so be it.

Yeah, I don't believe that.

Neither do you.

You know more about him than anybody on Earth.

Yeah, that's right.

I do.

I spent thousands of hours with him.

I run hundreds of tests.

You know what sets him apart from us? Nothing.

I know you know.

Cause I'm one of them.

What are you talking about? I'm German, Doc.

I grew up In Munich.

You grew up in Detroit.

You said your mom spoke German.

She did.

So did my father, because I was raised here.

You're an American soldier.

Why'd you leave? What do you think?

You're a Jew

with the blonde hair and the blue eyes.

I never got hassled much.

My father was patriot who fought for Germany in the First World War.

We loved this country.

Eventually, he realized we had to get out.

How'd you do? The problem was getting travel visas.

Other countries wouldn't take us.

My dad had a cousin in New York who helped.

We finally got our exit visas in 1940.

But we only had enough money for one ticket out.

My little sister, Margo.

She was only 11, so my parents didn't want her traveling alone.

Till they sent me.

Boy, I was seasick the whole way.

When I landed, I stayed with my cousin and the Nazis invaded Holland.

My family never showed up.

That's when I went to Detroit.

Got a job as an apprentice in a tool factory.

Learned English, listening to baseball and the radio.

When Pearl harbor happened, I was the first one at the recruitment office to

enlist. You know what they said? They couldn't take me because I wasn't an

American citizen.

I'd have to wait to get drafted.

So I did.

I waited.

And I waited.

Checked the mailbox every day for two years.

June 6, 1944.

Landed at Omaha beach on D Day.

Four years earlier, I left this country scared and alone.

In the middle of the night.

I came back with a goddamn army.

I found Margo.

She's in Switzerland.

She's 16 now.

She's living with relatives.

She's good.

She made it.

And her folks?

Records show that my parents arrived at Auschwitz August 12, 1942.

Camp was liberated January 27, 1945.

No sign of him.

The Nazis had a name for what they did to us.

The Final Solution.

Like we were some kind of nagging puzzle that they finally figured out how

to solve.

So, sorry, Howie.

I want to tell stories.

Strike her.

I'm gonna tell him right before they put that rope around his neck.

I'm gonna tell that piece of.

That he was confiding in a Jew.

You say it doesn't matter what happens, Tom.

It matters

more. You know? Matters to me, to my family.

To all of Germany.

Guring has to fall.

You think he's gonna beat Jackson? Doc, please, just do something about it.

I can't.

You can't?

I'm just a shrink.

You want to know why it happened here? People let it happen because they

didn't stand up until it Was too late.

Have a safe trip home, Doc.

Yes, sir.

Of course.

No, I.

I completely understand.

Thank you.

Son of a gun.

Truman just named Frederick Vincent Chief justice of the Supreme Court.

Yeah, I didn't want the job anyway.

Who would hold himself?

You're walking into a trap, Dr.

Kelly. I was under the impression you'd been relieved.

Putting during on the stand gives him everything he wants.

It's why he surrendered in the first place.

His last chance to redeem the Reich on the world stage.

After what I read in the paper this morning, I don't believe I care what you

think anymore.

You can't beat him.

God, not without help.

This is everything I have on him.

Private files, off the book conversations.

I know more about this man than anyone else on the planet.

And it's all in here.

Why do you have this? I was gonna write a book.

Make something of myself.

It's okay.

So you really think I can't beat him? Honestly, I don't know.

You know, I was going to be Chief Justice.

Now I'll be lucky if there's a place on the court for me when I return.

As of six hours ago, I was discharged from the army.

There's nothing left for us to do, sir.

Might as well go finish the war.

The trick is to use his vanity against him.

He is the Reich Marshall.

And the Reich Marshall is never wrong.

He can't be.

Every decision that's led him to this place has to be the right one.

So as much as he won't want to talk about the camps and the SS and the Final

solution, you can.

And make him own them.

Kelly's right.

Get him to admit to signing those orders and you'll have them.

I'll have him.

This is your day.

You're ready.

It

SA

Sergeant. What is Doug Kelly still doing here? No idea, sir.

All right.

Justice Jackson, are you ready?

The prosecution now calls Herman Gehring to the stand.

It

for the record, is there any doubt in your mind that Adolf Hitler is dead?

I have no doubt.

So you are aware that this makes you the only living man who can expound to

us the true purposes of the Nazi party and the inner workings of its

leadership. You.

I am perfectly aware of this show.

Your party from the very beginning intended to overthrow the Weimar

Republic. That was our firm intention.

What the hell? And upon coming to power, you immediately abolished

parliamentary government in Germany? We found it to be no longer necessary.

Is that because you believe people are not capable of self government? We

were elected by the people and given a mandate for change.

The Systems that had previously existed had brought Germany to the verge of

ruin. Your own President Roosevelt said, there are certain peoples in Europe

who have forsaken democracy not because they did not wish for it, but

because democracy had brought forth men who were too weak.

After you came to power, you regarded it necessary to suppress all

opposition parties, Correct? We found it necessary to no longer permit

opposition here.

And you also considered it immediately necessary to establish concentration

camps. The camps were set up as a measure against the Communists and their

violence. So it was necessary to erect a camp force in one, two or three

camps, something like this.

You also had to have certain groups to carry out orders and fight for you if

necessary, right? Certain groups.

Well, for example, if you wanted certain people killed, you had to have some

organization that would kill them.

Yeah. Germany had this level of political police, as you will find in any

other country.

And the SA and the SS were the organizations that carried out these orders

and dealt with people on a physical level, were they not? The SA never

received orders to kill anybody.

Neither did the ss.

Not in my time.

Beyond a certain point, I had no influence on it.

Well, the SS carried out arrest.

They handled the transportation of people to the concentration camps.

Can you not recall a time when the SS began to perform the function of

acting as the executor of the Nazi Party? It would be very difficult for me

to explain to an outsider where the SS officer Gestapo may or may not be

active. Try.

Perhaps as the police came more and more into the hands of Himmler,

expectations may have changed.

And of course, it is well known that some SS units were guarding the camps

and later performed some police functions and carried out other functions in

the camps.

To what functions do you refer? They carried out all of the functions of the

camps, didn't they?

If an SS unit was guarding a camp and an SS leader was the camp commandant,

then it is rational to assume that they would have carried out all of the

functions of the camp.

You have said that you wanted a strong German state to overcome the

conditions of Versailles.

Is that correct? Live on to the strong German state, regardless of

Versailles. The first country to be absorbed by Germany was Austria.

But it had not been part of Germany before the First World War and it had

not been taken from Germany by the Treaty of Versailles.

Is that correct? That is not entirely correct.

The second territory taken by Germany was Bohemia, then Moravia and then

Slovakia. These were not taken from Germany by the Treaty of Versailles, nor

had they been part of Germany before the First World War.

Had these parts of Czech territory were not part of the smaller German Reich

at the time of the Treaty of Versailles.

However, formally they were united to the German Reich for hundreds of

years. You still have not answered.

I have answered your question.

If the facts do not suit you, there's very little I can do.

Can you not answer yes or no? Time may not mean quite as much to you as it

does to the rest of us.

Mr. Justice.

The tribunal thinks the witness ought to be allowed to make what

explanations he thinks right.

I trust that the court is not unaware that outside of this courtroom is a

great social question regarding the revival of Nazism.

And that one of the purposes of defendant Gehring is to encourage and

perpetuate it by propaganda from this trial now in process.

Mr. Justice, this witness has adopted in the witness box and the prisoner's

dock an arrogant and contemptuous attitude towards this tribunal which is

giving him the opportunity of a trial which he never gave a living soul.

Ruling stands.

Mr. Justice.

I must of course bow to the ruling of the tribunal and would simply request

that the witness find a way to keep his answers succinct.

Could you please repeat the question? They were not taken from you by the

Treaty of Versailles.

Of course.

Austria was taken by the Versailles Treaty and was.

For both these territories would have been German territories for the simple

rights of the people to self determination.

No, I find that interesting, considering you just testified that people's

self determination was the first thing you took away.

From the very beginning you regarded the elimination of Jews from the

economic life of Germany as one phase of the four year plan under your

jurisdiction. Is that correct? Partially correct.

Partially. I see.

I would like to review with you briefly public acts taken by you in

reference to the Jewish question.

First, did you proclaim the Nuremberg Laws? Yeah, I did.

As President of the Reichstags, that was my job.

What date was that? 15th of September, 1935.

And on the first day of December 1936, you passed an act making it a death

penalty for Germans to transfer property abroad.

That is correct.

That was the decree governing restriction on foreign currency.

On April 22, 1938, you published penalties for concealing the character of a

Jewish enterprise within the Reich.

Conceal it? Yeah.

Then on April 26, 1938, you signed a decree ordering the registration of all

Jewish property inside and outside Germany.

If it's signed by me, then.

A decree on November 12, 1938 imposing a fine of 1 billion reichmarks for

atonement on all Jews.

Yeah, but.

And that all damages caused to Jewish property by the riots of 1938 must be

repaired by Jews immediately at their own expense and their insurance claims

forfeited to the Reich.

So many details here.

See insurance and the decree on the 17th of September, 1940 ordering the

sequestration of all Jewish property in Poland.

Yeah, in that part of Poland.

It was a former German province.

And I turned to J.

1941, a decree asking Himmler and Heydrich to make plans for the final

solution of the Jewish question.

That is not correct.

I know that very well.

I asked to have you shown document 710, exhibit number USA509.

I think it should be read into the record so we may have no argument about

its translation.

That document is signed by you, is it not? That is correct.

Please correct me if I am wrong.

Supplementing the task that was assigned to you on 124, 1939, which dealt

with arriving at, through furtherance of immigration and evacuation, a

solution of the Jewish problem as advantageous as possible, I hereby charge

you with making all necessary preparations in regards to organizational and

financial matters for bringing about a final solution of the Jewish

question. He's got him.

Am I correct so far? No, your translation is not correct,

and please give us your translation.

Supplementing the task which was entrusted to you in the decree dated

January 24, 1939, to solve the Jewish question by immigration and evacuation

in the most favorable way possible, given present conditions.

I hereby commission you to carry out all necessary preparations with regard

to organizational, substantive and financial viewpoints.

Now, here is the sentence for a complete solution.

Not a final solution.

For a total solution of the Jewish question.

A complete and total solution.

Complete and total.

Yeah. A complete and total solution.

You wanted the chief of the SS to enact.

Yeah, but I would like to make an explanation.

Oh, please do.

I sent this letter to Himmler and to Heydrich because It was some 18 months

now since the declaration of 24th of January, 1939, and Heydrich had

achieved very little.

So I charged him to accelerate the task of dealing with the immigration of

the Jews.

Immigration? You contend this letter was about immigration? It says so in

the first line.

That's just the first sentence.

The letter goes on to state my desire for a complete solution to the Jewish

problem and an end to their financial influence by their emigration and

evacuation from Germany.

It is in this document that you present to me.

Do you have any more questions for the witness, Justice Jackson?

Mr. Justice, is the witness excused?

I have a question.

The tribunal was under the impression the American prosecutor would be

examining this witness today.

The United States is always happy to hear from our distinguished colleague

from Great Britain.

Just a few simple queries.

Your won't take more than a moment.

You implied to this court that you lost some influence with Adolf Hitler in

1942. Is that correct? I believe this to be the case here.

But you were still Reichsmarschall of Germany in 1942, Hitler's successor.

Yes. Yeah, I was the Reichsmarscher.

And you're telling me that you were totally unaware 3 million Jews were

murdered in 1942.

I was unaware of this.

In 1943, at least 800,000 Jews were executed in the camps.

You were still Reichsmarschall in 1943.

Is that correct? That is correct.

In 1944, an additional 800,000 Jews died in the camps.

You were still Reichsmarschall in 1944.

Is that correct? That is correct.

In 1945, 250,000.

An estimated 6 million Jews in total.

As well as Soviet and Polish citizens, Romani people, artists, scientists,

writers, journalists, photographers, filmmakers.

People killed not in combat, not in Anamifier, but exterminated by the State

of Germany.

The state which you were the Reichsmarshall of.

The preeminent political post of your country.

You contend that you had no knowledge.

At least give me this.

Knowing what we know now, knowing what happened to 6 million Jews, I have to

ask.

Would you still follow the Fuhrer, Adolf Hitler?

Yeah. I fought.

Order. Order.

No further questions.

I think this as good a place as any to adjourn for the day.

Oh, great.

Absolutely burnt.

I survived.

You did it.

You were right.

I couldn't beat him.

Not without help.

G cannot stand against the Fuhrer.

Invaluable information, Doctor.

So what now? As Gearing falls, so do they all.

We'll be okay here.

You off? One more thing I have to do,

Doctor.

You helped him, didn't you? I did.

I'm leaving.

Leaving? Going home.

I've come to say goodbye.

What do we do now, Doctor? Do shake hands.

I know you are friends, Douglas.

Goodbye, Herman.

Years from now, Heaven do what you say about us.

Would you even acknowledge we were human?

The judgment of the international Military Tribunal will now be read.

Each defendant will be addressed in turn.

Herman Goering.

The evidence shows that after Hitler you were the most prominent man in the

Nazi regime.

Your guilt is unique in its enormity.

Your record discloses no excuses.

The international Military Tribunal sentences you to death by hanging.

Rudolph Hess, you are indicted with our own.

The executions are scheduled from midnight tonight.

In order to maintain discipline, the prisoners will not be informed until

11:45pm when they will be awakened.

In their cells and offered last rights.

At 8pm, eight handpicked journalists will arrive at the prison.

Two friends, French, two British, two American, two Russian.

Lights out is at 9:30, which is when the doctor will do his normal final

rounds. Any prisoner requesting a sleep aid will be given a placebo with

baking soda.

At 10 o', clock, we will bring the press down to the gallows where I will

brief them on the final preparations for tonight.

Sam

it.

The prisoners will be brought in one by one and given the opportunity to

speak their last words, they will then.

Excuse me.

Who is it? During, Sir.

No, no, no, no, no.

You son of a.

You don't get to do this.

He's dead, sir.

Cyanide. God damn it.

You son of a.

I'm sorry, sir, but we have a decision to make.

We can either scrub the executions for tonight or.

Or proceed.

Let's just get on with it.

Sir. Stryker's refusing to put his clothes on.

Julios. Julio.

You.

You have been a friend.

Come on, let's do it together.

Come on.

Give me a shirt.

Ask him his name.

You know my name.

Any last words? Po.

Him Feast, 1946.

Hang on.

It's.

I have to be honest, Dr.

Kelly. I find some of the conclusions in your book quite unbelievable.

You were dealing with the Nazis, who you must admit, are unique people.

They are not a unique people.

There are people like the Nazis in every country in the world today.

Not in America.

Yes, in America, their personality patterns are not obscure.

They're people who want to be in power.

And while you say they don't exist here, I would say I'm quite certain there

are people in America who would willingly climb over the corpses of half the

American public if they knew they could gain control of the other half.

Doctor, please.

They stoke hatred.

It's what Hitler and Guring did.

And it is textbook.

And if you think the next time it happens, we're going to recognize it

because they're wearing scary uniforms, you're out of your damn mind.

More with our panel when we return.

Yeah, they're not going to invite you to stay for the next thing.

Let's go.

Just so you know, trashing our country is probably not the best way to sell

your book.
