What will be shown is based on testimonies from survivors.

And from those who did not experience it.

Adolf Hitler is dead.

The Nazi high command is distraught.

Worldwide, 70 million people perished.

More than in any other conflict in human history.

Last day of the war in Europe.

Hurry! Hurry!

Make way! Stand aside!

Calm down, Hans.

Please turn off the car engine.

Do you have a tissue?

No, no.

Eda, will you be brave for me?

Hey!

Show your hands!

My God, it's Hermann Göring.

What?

Hitler's second-in-command.

Gentlemen.

I'm officially surrendering.

My luggage is in the car.

What's he saying?

He's asking us to take his luggage.

Teiséjas Džeksonas?

It depends on how serious your reason is for knocking on my door at three in the morning.

It depends on how serious your reason is for knocking on my door at three in the morning.

They captured Hermann Göring alive.

Where? In Austria.

What are they going to do with him?

That's the real question. Can I go in?

No. But it's raining.

I see. Are they going to shoot him?

I don't know.

Well, they intended to shoot him.

Yes, Your Honor.

Churchill and Roosevelt signed an executive order

the one you opposed.

I am a Supreme Court Justice.

I am not inclined to approve an execution without trial.

That's precisely what I want to talk about.

It's impossible.

You keep repeating it. Because it's impossible.

Give me at least one good reason.

There is no legal precedent for such a lawsuit.

There is no international law to rely on.

No one has ever tried a war criminal outside the jurisdiction of their own country,

because the concept of international law is such

that one country cannot dictate to the citizens of another country how they should behave.

Elze...

This man would be judged differently in a German court.

But you're talking about judging him

according to a legal system that doesn't exist,

not yet defined by case law.

And if you don't follow everything I say -

these are already four reasons why you shouldn't do it.

I'll get you a drink.

I don't feel like drinking.

So I'll get another one for myself and, just in case, one for you.

And when you have decided whom to judge, what will you accuse them of?

Of conspiring to start a war of global aggression.

Do you want the United States to present an accusation like that?

Yes.

Against Germany,

A country that has never attacked us.

Let's say it's feasible, Robert.

You want to know how I would do it?

It would have to be a completely international affair.

All the allies should be involved.

The United States,

Great Britain, France, Russia...

It's impossible to do it without Russia.

Four international judges.

Some tribunal.

Exactly.

The world needs to know what these men did.

It's a logistical nightmare.

I know.

But it must be done.

Mondorf, Luxembourg

A Soviet step to erase the Nazi stain.

A woman solves a 4-meter puzzle... in vain.

Choose a card.

MOVING TO

Hermann doesn't need it anymore.

Tell me to choose one.

Choose a card.

Now, ask me to memorize it and put it back in the deck.

Memorize it and put it back in the deck.

Now, shuffle them.

And now?

My card was the three of spades.

Who are you?

Psychiatrist.

What are you doing in Mondorf?

I'd like to know that too.

Now even psychiatrists are being sent on secret missions?

I'm sure I'm the first.

How did you do... with the doors?

I didn't do anything.

You're a good magician.

Dr. Kelis? 2FS7

Sergeant Howie Trieste, at your service.

I'll take you to the commanding officer's office.

"Tigers"? Yes, sir.

Perhaps we'll meet again.

Possimts!

Who is this?

She. Houvi, - a very attractive woman.

You mentioned the commander?

Yes, sir. Colonel Andrus.

Can you tell me what I'm doing here?

I thought the war was over.

I can't tell you.

You can't tell because you don't know,

or you can't tell because someone told you not to.

I can't tell you.

Don't get angry, Doctor. I'm just your translator.

Translator for whom?

You'll see.

That you are a "brilliant expert on heads."

I suppose you have some questions for me.

Several. So let's begin.

The governments of the United States, France,

Great Britain, and the United States of America

are now deciding whether to indict these men for their crimes.

During the trial, you will supervise

and ensure the mental health of the prisoners.

Suicide will be the primary concern of most prisoners.

Hitler, Goebbels, and Himmler have already committed suicide.

We cannot afford any more losses.

Goebbels and Himmler did it because of it.

A hidden cyanide capsule.

You will have to keep a very close eye on Göring.

Göring?

You mean Hermann Göring?

Is Hermann Göring here?

Sergeant, is it possible

that the major suffered a severe head injury on his way to my office?

Not to my knowledge, sir. I'm sorry.

There's just a lot of information.

Please do it as quickly as possible.

Roger, sir.

Göring surrendered while traveling with his family.

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

And a large quantity of this.

We sent it to the United States for classification.

Paracodeine.

A powerful painkiller. He likes it very much.

GOV

GOV. They say it's for his heart.

Well, he certainly has a very fertile imagination.

It has nothing to do with the heart.

It's an opiate.

How many pills does he take a day?

Sergeant? Forty, sir.

They were released, and that's none of your business.

Your only job is to evaluate Göring and the others.

That's all.

Sir, I am a good doctor, but

the entire Nazi leadership

might be a little beyond my expertise.

Believe me, Major, it wasn't my idea.

Free.

He's not very good at motivating people, is he?

The commander isn't exactly known for his emotional sensitivity, sir.

- I want to meet him. Who?

Göring. Immediately. - I'm sorry, sir,

Wouldn't you like to get settled first?

I want to know who I'll be dealing with.

Okay, don't worry too much.

Not at all. Tell me about him!

Reich Marshal Hermann Göring, President of the Reichstag,

Minister of Aviation, Commander-in-Chief of the Luftwaffe,

Minister of Economics, creator of the Gestapo, the secret police...

He was designated as Hitler's successor in 1939

and is the officer The highest-ranking German in history.

Of course...

Now I'm a little worried.

No problem, everything will be fine.

Reichsmarschall.

Good morning, Mr. Triest.

Reichsmarschall Göring, I am Dr. Douglas Kelley.

He says... Wonderful! A doctor!

Indeed. May I take your pulse?

He asks for his pill.

He wants you to bring it to him.

I understand you've had heart problems.

I've had a few minor heart attacks, and these tablets help.

Could you unbutton your shirt?

Your breathing is rapid and shallow.

Toneversk

The tablets also help to relieve pain, don't they?

Yes, yes.

It is said that he was wounded during the First World War.

He has a bullet in his right buttock.

He was wounded in the groin during the Munich Putsch in 1923.

You have been shot several times, sir.

Occupational hazards.

If you really want to take care of your heart,

the best way is to lose weight.

I assure you, you see the best physique in all of Germany.

Ask my wife.

I'm sure you're right, sir,

but the guards call you Fat.

I'm convinced,

it would be difficult for weaker people to lose that much weight.

But you have the strength and discipline,

which others lack, don't they?

You see, he's different.

We will be good friends.

I'm convinced of it.

I hope so.

Have a good day.

Extremely self-assured.

Charming.

He speaks English.

What? What?

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

He understood me, but he's playing with you.

No, why would he pretend?

The translation gives him more time to think about his answers.

Gives him an advantage.

Wait.

Sakai, during these past three months,

where I mumbled under my breath, he understood every word.

Posimis

Are you going to tell him, Kadzina?

No.

He'll tell me himself. When he's ready.

- And when will he be ready? When he decides I pose no threat.

I want to meet the others. Who's next?

Dr. Robert Ley.

The leader of the German Labour Front.

One of Hitler's earliest followers.

He wrote a book in which he so lauded the Führer

that Hitler, greatly embarrassed, ordered the destruction of the entire print run.

Ley, who headed the Nazi labor program

was arrested in Goering's pajamas. He called himself "Investigation into High-Ranking Nazi Prisoners."

"I'm not like the others here. Power-hungry men locked up."

"I can just smell a Jew."

"Grand Admiral Karl" Dönitz.

The commander of the German navy.

The architect of the submarine attacks that crippled the British navy.

Humanity means weakness.

The new commander said,

Dönitz tolerated the killing of prisoners on the high seas.

A fanatical Nazi supporter. Dönitz arrested...

I have been detained for 76 days.

I have not yet been formally arrested or charged with a specific crime

which constitutes a direct violation of the Geneva Convention.

Accuse me or release me.

Julius Streicher. Hitler's Propaganda Director.

Hitler's propaganda director.

Founder of the antisemitic national newspaper

"Der Stürmer".

Streicher!

Nicknamed the high priest of antisemitism

and the Beast of Franconian, he led the boycott of Jews.

auynbergagelezineranka

He wants to know if you are Jewish.

But you practice a Jewish profession.

What are you fighting for, Doctor?

Göring is the key.

The leader of the nation's "exiles." He unites them all.

He started a strict diet and exercise regimen.

He stopped taking the pills completely.

As if he were preparing for something.

If someone were to write a book about him, it would be...

Is there a library in the city?

Do you want to go to the library? - Yes.

2:33 in the morning? - Yes, take a coat.

Okay.

We've locked up a lot of narcissists in this hotel...

I think at least half of them have a book

written about them or that they wrote themselves.

We're going to find out who they are.

Really? You speak German well, Doctor?

Not at all. How did you learn?

My mother spoke German, and I wanted to be like her.

Do you really think you can do that?

Do what?

Get these guys...

...to confide in you.

Of course.

How?

Everyone wants to be heard; it's a natural instinct.

I'm going to take an interest in them.

I'm going to make sure they trust me.

They're going to open up.

It seems so simple.

What if we could analyze evil?

/What distinguishes these men from all the others?

What enabled them to commit these crimes?

They almost conquered the world.

Have you heard of the Jewish labor camps?

It is rumored that they were not just labor camps.

I heard.

So, how does one become like that?

Perhaps we really have the opportunity to find out.

To know how Germans are different.

Different?

From us.

A man who wrote a book about this could make a lot of money.

You know, for a moment, I thought you were a nobleman.

Does one have to be a nobleman?

Perfect.

If we could define evil psychologically,

we could ensure that something like this never happens again.

What's happening? Hermann Göring has stopped breathing.

Traumatic! - Houvi!

The airways are clear. That's good, isn't it?

- No, he's having a heart attack. - What?

- Where's the prison doctor? - He's coming.

ok, hurry up

Houvi, I need aspirin.

Good old aspirin. Quick! - I'm going!

Heh, heh, heh.

Your heart is still beating, which means you're alive.

And we're going to make sure it stays that way.

You need to calm down, okay?

Breathe with me.

Inhale and exhale.

I'm here. Look at me. I'm here.

I won't let you die, understand?

Inhale and exhale.

There. Is that your wife?

She's here, she's here, she's here.

Breathe with me.

The doctor's coming. Aspirin.

Pass me a few, okay?

Thanks, Houvi.

The best remedy for the heart -

It's good old aspirin. Yes.

Trust me.

Breathe, inhale and exhale.

Chew, chew.

That's better.

The pulse is slower.

Yes.

You know what? You're alive.

Alive.

What do you think?

Thank you.

Take him to the infirmary. Go.

Why are you smiling?

"Thank you," he said in English.

In 1948, Truman wanted to be re-elected.

He has no intention of coddling the Nazis.

Logically.

Furthermore, the tribunal gives them the opportunity

to tell their story to the world.

What are we afraid to hear from them?

Bob, we won this damn war.

If you do that,

it will be the biggest failure of all time.

Cameras in this cursed courtroom...

What if they deserve compassion?

And if all this gives them nothing but a platform

for antisemitism worldwide?

Do you want to be responsible for it?

You want to know if I have problems

killing a few Nazis without trial?

Of course I have some.

But anyway, it doesn't matter.

The Russians won't agree.

What?

The Russians agreed.

Really?

Truman personally called Stalin.

They are considering Nikitchenko's candidacy for chief prosecutor.

Excellent news.

I have no idea who you are.

Colonel John Amen, sir.

I work for the Attorney General of War.

So, the Army is sending us a lawyer?

Yes, sir.

I convey greetings from General Eisenhower,

who wants you to know that he does not approve of hangings without trial.

Well, that's progress.

He also hopes that the trial will not last too long

so that we can hang them.

Please sit down.

I've read a lot about you, sir.

It is said that you will be the next Chief Justice of the Supreme Court.

The Chief Justice personally promised you the position.

And he swore to secrecy,

so maybe it's best not to tell everyone,

who came to the office, okay?

Well, everyone

that you certainly won't be able to organize this trial.

And what do you think?

I like outsiders.

Hello, Julius.

I'm going to show you a series of cards with inkblots,

and you'll tell me what you see on each one.

Perhaps this will reveal something about your character,

your intelligence or your creativity;

everything you say here will remain between us.

Doctor.

Yes.

If it would help, I can speak to you in English.

Only if it makes you comfortable.

Shall we begin?

A butterfly.

A witch.

A torpedo attack.

Someone has knocked something over.

I see 10,000 horses.

I see a Valkyrie ride.

A vagina.

The vagina of a Jewish woman.

Here, it's blood.

Whose blood?

Or ink.

You can say a lot with ink.

I'm sorry, Bob.

Sivakar received a message. The answer is... "no."

Congress will reject the idea of ​​a tribunal.

They just want executions.

I have no other option. What about the president?

The president wants to stay out of it, which is why he needs Congress.

Neither of them will do it without the other.

So, we need something more... persuasive. Let's see.

What could be more persuasive than the president?

Jesus Christ.

Correct.

Are you Catholic? Now you are.

The Holy Father will receive you now.

You want to bring these men to justice by sacrificing their lives,

and you come to ask for the Church's blessing on this matter.

Your support would greatly help us achieve an international consensus.

No one denies that these men are evil.

But the principle, an eye for an eye

is not the solution.

Perhaps not, but I'm sure of where I first read it.

Are you Catholic?

No, Your Grace.

A religious man?

Not particularly.

But in your country, you're called a judge.

If you spend enough time judging others,

you will begin to believe that the laws of men

are more important than the laws of God.

I don't believe that.

So, what do you believe in?

In humanity.

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

I think that would be a good thing.

So good that to achieve it, we have to circumvent our own laws?

I'm sorry,

but the Catholic Church cannot support you in this matter.

But you could have supported them in 1933.

Excuse me?

You personally signed the concordat with Hitler.

It was completely different.

You lived in Munich; you were nuncio to the German Empire.

The Catholic Church

In order to protect Catholics in Germany...

Isn't it regrettable,

that the Jews had no one to do anything for them?

Do you think I'm justifying what they did?

Sir, people will remember

what you did in 1933.

And what you do now,

they will tell their children.

Does the Catholic Church support the Nazis?

Or is it against them?

Did you just blackmail the Pope?

I don't want to talk about it.

Some news came in tonight.

There will be a trial.

A trial?

Very well.

That's how it should be.

These cards you showed me,

what did they say about me?

Honestly? That you're very intelligent.

And I could have told you that myself.

Also that you are narcissistic,

inclined to a world of expansive and aggressive fantasies,

having a strong ambition and the desire

to conquer the world according to your own way of thinking.

Does this surprise you?

No.

So the cards taught you nothing.

Ponas Triestas says you know a trick.

I'm sorry.

Yes.

Well, if it doesn't cause too many problems...

We don't have any entertainment here.

Why not?

Here's a dollar in regular, medium-grade silver.

Ta-da!

Very good.

One day, I'll show you a trick.

Which one?

Escaping the hangman's noose.

And how do you plan to do that?

If I say it, it won't be a trick anymore.

Do you see what the Allies can do?

There's nothing left.

Only the river.

Court of Justice.

The roof was damaged during the air raids.

A fire destroyed the upper floors and brought down the bell tower.

But this courtroom, once completed, should be able to accommodate 600 people.

And what about the resources?

The Nazis fought here for the last time when the city fell.

And it will happen again.

Of all the beautiful cities in this conquered land...

You want to bring them to justice...

In these bombed-out ruins?

You will be David Maxwell Fyfe, British Deputy Prosecutor.

First, we can control the space.

Second, there is a prison nearby, which can hold up to 1200 inmates.

We only need space for 22 people.

Excuse me, 22, sir?

That's the number of men we're accusing in the first case.

You see, if we lose this case, there won't be any more.

And you, me, Judge Jackson...

...and our governments will become the laughingstock of the world,

defeated by the very men we imprisoned.

This is going to be fun.

My friends in Washington say that public opinion has shifted against you.

No.

They say that after Stone leaves, you won't get the Chief Justice position.

Who will Truman choose? Vinson? He's too political.

Yes, but he's here.

All this has become a side effect, Robert.

And it hasn't even started yet.

It is said that you are preparing all the documents yourself,

refusing the help of other lawyers.

Because it has to be done properly.

It will be. But you won't be able to do it alone.

Everything will be fine once the trial begins.

You say that the trial of the top Nazi leaders,

based on unproven jurisprudence,

and observed by the whole world, will be the easy part?

Well, when you present it like that...

The victory must be absolute,

otherwise it will be a total defeat.

That means you mustn't just win, Robert...

You must be beyond reproach.

No pressure.

One more.

Cells made of stone.

Three meters by four.

Beds fixed to the wall.

Mattresses filled with straw, no springs.

Cardboard tables that won't support a man's weight.

The chairs can't be placed against the wall.

And every evening, at sunset, they will be taken outside.

When you are lying down,

your head and hands must be visible above the blanket at all times.

You will have no belt, no shoelaces.

No toilet seat; nothing,

that you could use as a weapon to take your own life.

Welcome to Nuremberg.

So this is

your cell.

Does this suit you?

German construction.

How could it not suit you?

They'll be informing us of the charges soon, won't they?

Are you looking forward to it?

I think so.

I'll have, as you say,

"my day in court."

Do you know this Jackson?

Judge Jackson?

No, I don't know him.

He will try to outwit me,

but he won't succeed.

You have great self-confidence.

Doctor...

No one has ever beaten me.

There are books that list the names of everyone who has tried.

But you are sitting here.

In a cell built by the Germans.

Do you think I'm at a greater disadvantage because I'm in prison?

Let me remind you: I surrendered.

That's precisely where I want to be.

Göring remains a mystery to me.

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

We need to find a way to approach him.

How?

We're going to ask him for help.

What kind of help?

Rudolf Hess.

Is he coming here?

Rudolf Hess, Deputy Führer.

Third in order after Hitler and Göring.

and was known as one of his most fanatical followers.

Never do that again in my prison.

On May 10, 1941, at the height of the war,

Hess stole a Messerschmitt.

And crossed the North Sea.

Arrived on a peace mission and wishing to speak

with Douglas Douglas-Hamilton, 14th Duke of Hamilton,

whom he met at the 1936 Berlin Olympics.

After some obstacles, Hess was allowed to meet someone.

There, he announced his intention to meet with King George VI,

to pardon Winston Churchill,

and to negotiate a peace with Great Britain,

so that the two countries could join forces and defeat the Soviet Union.

Hess was immediately imprisoned in the Tower of London.

He then claimed to have no memory of his past, not even of his childhood.

This continued until February 1945,

when he declared that his previous amnesia had been feigned.

Then he changed his mind and said

that I wanted to discredit my old friend.

and my daughter.

I need you to find them, Doctor.

And to forward these...

...letters.

We'll speak to Hess first,

then to your family.

PRISONER OF WAR

What?

This man is about to conquer the whole world,

and now you want us to be his messengers? Doctor!

and meeting his family will only give me even more information.

That's probably what happened.

But I don't remember anything.

There were three of us, Rudolf.

You,

me,

and Adolf.

U.S.

We dominated the U.S. empire.

Excuse me,

perhaps you were a friend.

But I don't recognize you anymore.

He's lying.

what did he do?

That's stupid.

Oh, stupid.

I knew you'd help me.

Yes, because I'm stupid.

How did you find them?

Rumor had it they were in Veldenstein.

A cigarette?

I've never seen you smoke.

I don't smoke, I quit.

My parents couldn't stand it.

But you still have some.

A way to curry favor with the officers.

I thought I'd light some more

Howie, the war is over.

Not for much longer.

French?

Mrs. Göring?

I am -- Douglas Kelley.

I work at the prison; I'm a psychiatrist.

Your husband asked me to give you these letters.

Hermann?

Yes.

"How is he?" He's fine.

He's fine.

Were you playing?

It's very beautiful.

He said... a friend of your father's.

Eda...

"How is Dad?"

Very good.

"Is he brave?"

Very brave.

He wants you to be brave too.

He wrote you a letter.

Doctor!

20388707 Doctor, are you alright?

What the hell is going on?

What's happening?

We received a message a few hours ago.

We are making accusations.

Where were you?

Hermann Göring?

Me, Reichsmarschall Hermann Göring.

Hermann Wilhelm Göring,

The United States of America, the French Republic,

The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland

and the USSR present these four charges.

Crimes against peace, war crimes, crimes against humanity

and a common plan or conspiracy to commit these crimes.

The crimes against humanity you are charged with include murder,

extermination, slavery, deportation, and other inhumane acts.

Here is a copy of your indictment. Do you have any questions?

Have a good day.

Who's next?

Streicher.

Do you have any questions?

What did he say?

Everything's fine, everything's fine.

Don't touch me.

Robert. - Don't touch me!

Hold him! Come on, hold him! - Come on!

Shoot me! Shoot me!

Shoot me!

Tough day?

The girl on the train

Magician.

How's the secret mission going?

Unforeseen obstacles have arisen.

It shows.

What are you doing here?

I came with the press.

Today, Hermann Göring and other Nazis are being indicted.

It's not possible!

Get ready.

This city is about to become... "The Greatest Show on Earth."

Your wife's.

Have you seen her?

Date: Nuremberg!

Legal teams are preparing for what promises to be

the trial of the century.

Through a tunnel, the Nazis will be taken to the courtroom,

which is currently being rebuilt.

The lighting will be so intense

that sunglasses will be distributed to visitors to the trial.

Hermann Göring and his Hitler-worshipping friends

are supposed to meet our guys in a week.

Will justice prevail? Or will the fascists remain free?

This journalist fervently hopes

that the Allies will encounter no problems.

We have a problem.

Operation Weserübung: Germany's 1940 invasion of Denmark and Norway.

A classic example of a war of aggression.

I completely agree.

What worries me is that you're in this room.

Well, besides being ridiculous, it's also true.

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

We cannot hold the Nazis responsible for planning a war of aggression,

if you yourselves plan such wars of aggression.

I admit it, it makes sense.

Can the Nazis prove it?

The German lawyer has already requested documents.

But they don't have them. Not yet. - So everything's fine.

Maybe.

But that raises a bigger problem.

We need to know what the Nazis' defense strategy is.

How exactly do you propose to do that?

Dr. Kelly, you will meet a very important person tonight.

This could be your chance to finally be useful.

Impressive, isn't it?

Hitler built it as the largest stadium on the planet.

You are Judge Jackson.

And you're a psychiatrist.

That's where they held rallies.

Every year, Hitler gathered crowds there.

and addressed the entire Nazi party.

Everything was filmed.

It was here, in 1935, that he proclaimed the Nuremberg Laws.

Are you familiar with them?

The Nuremberg Laws defined Jews

as anyone with three or four Jewish grandparents.

And it didn't matter whether you practiced Judaism,

or whether you converted to Christianity, it was a matter of blood.

These laws stripped all Jews of their German citizenship.

They forbade Jews and Germans from marrying each other.

for fear of Rassenschande (shame on Jews).

"Racial defilement."

According to these laws, Jews were not allowed to use public hospitals.

And those over the age of 14 were no longer allowed to attend school.

Libraries, parks, and beaches were forbidden to Jews.

The Jewish names on the war memorials

have been erased.

All of this was decreed here, in this place.

What do you want?

Your patients...

I want you to start asking the right questions.

And what are these right questions?

What they tell their lawyers.

How they plan to defend themselves.

You want me to spy.

I want you to do your duty to your country.

No, you want me to violate medical confidentiality.

I believe you already have, Doctor.

We have read all the reports.

We need more.

Why not just shoot them?

That's all anyone wants.

- Well, if you're planning to cheat... - That's not cheating.

If you ask me to break my oath.

Why not just kill them and be done with it?

After the Great War, Germany was on its knees.

We humiliated them.

We forced them to pay reparations they couldn't afford.

We forced them to hate us to such an extent,

that in less than two decades,

from a nation on its knees, they became almost conquerors of the world.

We have to do things right, otherwise,

in 15 years, they'll come back even stronger,

and I don't know if we can defeat them a third time.

If we just kill these men, they'll become martyrs.

And I can't allow that.

There will be no statues in their likeness.

No hymns in their honor.

I will have Hermann Göring sit in the witness box

and force him to tell the world what he did;

so that it never happens again.

You brought me here because of Göring?

No.

I brought you here

to show you that before bullets started flying,

before tens of millions of men were sacrificed,

it all started with words.

This war will end in a courtroom.

It will end with Göring.

He is now the face of the Nazis.

If he falls, they will all fall.

But to do that,

I must be ready to face him.

Are you going to help me?

Let's talk about Hitler.

It's curious that you didn't ask me directly about him before.

I'm curious to know what attracts you.

He was a failed painter, wasn't he?

And a not-so-great soldier, but adored and respected.

He made us feel German again.

How so?

Well, the war ended with Germany's defeat.

And then a man comes along and says:

We can regain our former glory.

Wouldn't you follow such a man?

It depends on what else he wants to do.

The first time I saw Hitler speak,

it was in 1922.

On the second floor above a café.

About 30 people.

It was a time of peace, but it was a peace without food, without work, without bread.

He stood up and said:

"French bellies are filled with German pain."

Having old soldiers is a sign of strength.

Even his antisemitism had a practical purpose.

It brought us people,

who needed something else, something to focus their emotions on.

Something else to blame.

Camps, which ones?

They were supposed to be labor camps.

For our political opponents, nothing more.

And you agreed with that?

Labor camps? Yes.

Do you think the Japanese whom the Americans interned after Pearl Harbor?

weren't forced to work? Of course they were.

I created camps for the good of Germany, for the war effort.

Not for death.

Himmler, Heydrich.

Were they responsible?

If what they say about these camps is true,

then it's a terrible disgrace for the great German Reich.

Did you tell your lawyer that?

Douglas, you can't oppose the Führer.

Even if it might help?

These aren't things people need to know, Doctor.

I'm only telling you this to you.

He claims he sincerely believed they were just labor camps.

Himmler ran the camps, didn't he?

He was the head of the SS.

Göring headed the Luftwaffe.

Does the head of the US Air Force know

what the head of the Secret Service is doing?

I'm sorry, but I can't believe we're talking about this.

I'll do what you asked. - No!

- You apologize for him. - Gentlemen, please do.

- I'm not the one defending the Nazis. - You think I am?

I'm analyzing him, you provincial idiot.

Göring, above all, is a narcissist.

He only cares about strengthening Germany and becoming its leader.

And he doesn't care if they die.

And he doesn't care if they don't die.

Can such a man be

devoted to the extermination of an entire race?

Dr. Kelley, I greatly appreciate your insights on this matter,

but I must admit that it is very difficult

to believe.

How are you? You seem worried.

Everything is fine.

Don't worry,

this will all be over soon.

Ley's mood has improved considerably.

He said he had started preparing his defense.

I have the impression that he start communicate

Damn.

Hurry up! Move it!

Doctor! Faster!

My God!

He tore the edge of the towel to make a rope.

And then he just leaned forward.

Apparently with great determination.

Just to be sure?

"Better"?

R. LEJUS

Dr. Gilbert is arriving this afternoon.

You will instruct him.

What do you think of suicide?

It is the last refuge of cowards.

Or the final act of a desperate man.

Of course, there are always exceptions.

You're in trouble.

Why do you say that?

New doctor, new tests.

With Léjus's death, they no longer trust you.

You're mistaken.

Douglas,

when you're in power,

you're always being hunted.

One must be careful.

Why should I distrust my allies?

Just because someone is your ally,

doesn't mean they're on your side.

My father was a diplomat, didn't I tell you?

No.

Well.

He was assigned to Africa.

That's where he met his best friend,

a man named Hermann von Epenstein.

I was named in his honor.

Yes, I was given a Jewish name.

We loved Uncle Hermann very much.

He was very rich.

He lived at Waldstein Castle.

When I was six years old,

he brought my whole family to live with him.

Can you imagine?

Living in such a castle was a true childhood dream.

I ran through the corridors imagining I was a knight,

I looked down from the battlements,

imagining armies pressing forward to attack.

and the most beautiful room on the top floor.

At the end of the hall was my mother's room, which was also very beautiful.

My father...

lived in a small room on the ground floor.

I realized how rich Uncle Hermann was.

So rich that he could have my whole family move in with him.

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

So rich that, whenever he wanted,

he could go to the room at the end of the hall

and take advantage of my mother.

Just because a man is your ally

doesn't mean he's on your side.

I'm inclined to think his amnesia is real.

Are you referring to the part where he forgets he's a Nazi?

Listen, Dr. Kelley,

I'm not here to bother you.

I will share my research. We will be co-authors.

Co-authors?

Don't try to play games with me.

We're both here for the same reason.

Two books on the Nazi high command...

This will have an impact on the market.

Let's write one together.

Good luck with the tests.

Daktare.

Was she surprised?

Well, rather stunned.

Teach me this trick.

A coin behind the ear? Yes, yes.

Teach me this trick. So I can surprise her too.

I gave my silver dollar to your daughter.

It's the simplest trick in the world.

It works because people want to believe it.

You take the dollar and say:

Hey, everyone! Here's a plain silver dollar.

Then you put it in your other hand.

You focus their attention.

But actually, it's here.

You hold it in your right hand.

I'm holding it. Yes.

You hold it between these two fingers.

And you hold it in your palm.

But you focus your attention on the left hand.

You feel the coin there, its weight. Don't you?

And if you believe it yourself, they will believe it too.

And then, simply, you pass it behind the ear.

Abracadabra!

What is... "abracadabra"?

A magic word.

It creates an illusion.

A feeling of grandeur.

Should we always say "abracadabra"?

No, no, it can be any word.

You can say "presto".

I prefer "abracadabra".

Did your father teach you this trick?

My father? No.

But you believe,

that you are destined for more.

You want to be known as a great man.

Yes.

And I am your ticket.

I'm going to America like a great Nazi scientist,

and I'll teach something that

might surprise my daughter,

when this trial is over.

You don't bring me together anymore.

I didn't mean to bother you like this.

You often meet him without me.

What are you doing, Doctor?

I'm trying to understand something.

Is that really still a reason?

Good night, Houvi.

How do you intend to defend yourself, Herman?

- You want to know? - I'm serious.

Are we... friends, Doctor?

I think that word is a little too simple for what we are.

But you're asking me

As a friend?

Yes.

Tomorrow, when I receive the note,

I will read the statement.

I will say

that I take full responsibility for my actions.

Therefore, I will renounce

taking responsibility for the actions of others

of which I was unaware

and for which I was not complicit.

What I did,

was for the good of my country.

Tell me, wouldn't you do the same for yourself?

I think I'll find you here.

At seven o'clock in the evening,

the whole world will have its eyes fixed on this room.

There.

It's all there.

The statement that Göring is to read tomorrow.

Thank you.

Attention!

Let's go.

Here they are!

My God!

Everyone stand up!

Your Honors.

The privilege of opening the first trial in history

for crimes against world peace

imposes a heavy responsibility upon us.

The evils we seek to condemn and punish

are so premeditated,

malicious and devastating that civilization

cannot tolerate ignoring them,

for if they are repeated, we will not survive.

In the dock, some twenty immoral men.

We will demonstrate that they are the living embodiments of racial hatred,

of terrorism, violence,

as well as the arrogance and cruelty of power.

Civilization cannot afford compromise,

ambiguity or hesitation

with the men in whom these forces still reside.

Wars are no longer local.

All modern wars eventually become global.

And none of the major nations can remain aloof.

But the ultimate step,

to avoid periodic wars

in the system of violated international law,

is to force state actors to assume their responsibilities before the law!

Let me be clear,

although this law applies primarily to German aggressors,

it must condemn the aggression of any other nation,

including those who sit here and judge.

We cannot eliminate internal tyranny,

violence and aggression,

which those in power use against the rights of their own people,

until we compel all men

to answer before the law.

Hermann Göring.

The defendants must plead guilty or not guilty to the charges against them.

They will approach the microphone in front of the dock one by one.

I am Hermann Wilhelm Göring.

I stand before this court today.

and the whole world,

and I swear to tell only the truth.

The court has decided

that the defendants have no right to testify.

As Reichsmarschall of Germany,

You are not a Reichsmarschall here.

You are the prisoner Hermann Göring.

Do you plead guilty or not guilty?

USA 0389707

Emi!

Eda!

Emi!

What happened? What happened? Where are they?

What? Where are they?

They took them! - Who?

The Americans!

Emi!

Emi! Eda!

Emi! Emi Göring!

Yes?

I need a favor.

You're joking, I hope.

Thank you, I'll need it.

They arrested Emi Göring.

for alleged complicity in art thefts.

The child has been entrusted to nuns. All communication is forbidden.

It's a woman and a child.

Yes.

Sir, you could make an effort.

It's not up to me to decide!

You're welcome.

By the way,

how did you know where she was hiding?

Unfortunately, no letter.

Really?

Another time.

And this is my new doctor.

We were talking about my family.

Of course. I was sorry to hear that.

About his arrest.

Five days ago, your wife and daughter were arrested.

Didn't he tell you?

Hey! What was that all about?

Sincerity towards the patient, something you should also try from time to time.

Huh?

My God, you're mental health specialists!

For God's sake!

Dr. Gilbert, do you want me to detain Dr. Kelley?

No, Sergeant. Then get the hell out of my damn office!

Movie.

Everyone stand up!

Your Honor,

the prosecution wishes to present this video recording as evidence.

This film will briefly explain

what the words "concentration camp" mean.

NAZI CONCENTRATION CAMPS

These were the largest concentration camps and prisons in Germany

and in occupied Europe during the Nazi regime.

OHRDRUF CONCENTRATION CAMP

The 4th Armored Division of General Patton's Third Army

liberated this camp in early April.

They see a pyre where bodies covered in lime are piled on top of each other.

and the smell is simply unbearable.

The 3rd Armored Division,

liberated the Nordhausen labor camp from the 1st Army.

At least 3,000 political prisoners perished there,

brutally murdered by SS soldiers and German criminals

who worked as camp guards.

Prisoners deemed unfit for work were held at Nordhausen.

in the underground production of V-bombs.

and in other German factories and labor camps.

Among the corpses are people too weak to move.

The medical battalions at Monts worked day and night for two days,

dressing wounds and administering medicine.

But for advanced cases of starvation and tuberculosis,

there was often no cure.

These survivors are evacuated to Allied hospitals for treatment.

I am First Lieutenant Jack H. Taylor,

a U.S. Navy officer from Hollywood, California.

Believe it or not, this is the first time I've ever been in a movie.

I was taken prisoner on December 1st.

I was taken to the Mauthausen concentration camp -

an extermination camp -

where we were starved, beaten

and killed.

Fortunately, my turn had not yet come.

There were... - How many ways did they execute people?

Five or six.

By gas, by shooting, by beatings.

That is, by hitting them with sticks.

By exposure to the elements.

This means they had to stand naked in the snow in the middle of winter,

for 48 hours while cold water was poured over them.

From starvation.

With dogs,

by pushing them off a 30-meter cliff.

All of this is true, has been seen, and is now recorded.

BUCHENWALD CONCENTRATION CAMP

Nationality and prisoner numbers are tattooed on the prisoners' stomachs.

In the official report, the Buchenwald camp is described as an extermination factory.

Bodies piled on top of each other were found outside the crematorium.

Body disposal facility

Inside are furnaces that gave the crematorium

a maximum disposal capacity of 400 bodies per 10-hour workday.

Dachau, near Munich,

one of the oldest Nazi camps.

This is what the liberators found inside the building.

The prisoners' clothes hung in neat rows,

suffocated to death in the deadly gas chambers.

They were led to believe they had to undress,

under the pretext of taking a shower, for which towels and soap were provided.

BERGEN-BELSEN CONCENTRATION CAMP

The sanitary conditions were so terrible

that heavy equipment had to be brought in to speed up the cleaning work.

It was Bergen-Belsen.

How is this possible?

Tai, I saw you.

How is this possible?

Himmler.

Himmler was not the second-in-command.

It was you.

1200 camps?

No.

Do you expect me to believe you didn't know?

Anyone can fake cruelty.

You say the film is a fake. Is that your defense?

What would you like to know?

Perhaps, for once, the truth.

Why?

So you can run and tell Jackson?

My friend,

Your hypocrisy is astounding.

My hypocrisy?

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

With the simple press of a button, you kill 150,000 Japanese,

and you dare to judge me for war crimes?

We had every right to defend ourselves.

Defending oneself on another country's territory?

There's a difference between the fact that we bombed war factories

and that civilians died as collateral damage,

and the fact that you built 1200 human slaughterhouses,

with the goal of exterminating an entire race!

And you know it!

What do you think war is?

Not what I saw today.

What do you think the Russians are doing to German prisoners of war?

You are a free man, I am a prisoner,

because you won and we lost.

But not because you are morally superior!

This trial will look like a farce in 15 years.

Great conquerors are not considered murderers.

Genghis Khan, Alexander the Great...

You are not Alexander the Great!

You are a fat man in a prison cell.

And you knew about the camps.

I was wrong.

You are no longer destined for anything.

I think your life will be unhappy.

This will overshadow everything.

After spending time with me,

you will write books, trying to relive this.

The only time in your life,

when you truly stood beside greatness.

You think you're great?

You think this is your inheritance?

At least I'll have one.

You will leave no trace in this world.

And I am an entire chapter of history!

You are, at best, a paragraph.

They will kill you.

until you wet yourself

and you die.

And it will be your own fault.

I know who you are.

And who is he?

It's better not to know.

Jackson will bring him to justice the day after tomorrow.

And he will be crushed.

Why do you say that?

Because Göring is ready for him.

He was ready for all of us.

Why didn't you tell me all this?

THE PRISON DOCTOR REVEALS ALL

Look, your private conversations with Hermann Göring

made the headlines.

Sir, I... Your work here is finished.

I signed your transfer order this morning.

You deserve better.

Yes, I do.

By the way, we're freeing Göring's wife and daughter.

You were right: we can do better.

Thank you, sir.

Your train leaves at 5 PM.

Don't get me wrong, but I never want to see you again.

Did you come to say goodbye?

Were you serious when you said Jackson didn't stand a chance?

Of course.

It's just a big show for the spectators.

So, no matter what happens tomorrow,

If Göring gets the better of Jackson, so be it.

But I don't believe it.

You don't believe it either.

Nothing.

I know.

You know?

Because you... you're one of them.

What are you talking about?

Doctor, I'm German.

I grew up in Munich.

You said you grew up in Detroit and that your mother spoke German.

That's right, my father did too.

Because this is where I was raised.

You are an American soldier.

Why did you leave?

What do you think about it?

You are Jewish.

Blonde hair and blue eyes... thanks to that, I never had to fight.

My father was a patriot.

He fought for Germany during World War I.

He loved this country.

But eventually, he understood that we had to leave.

How did you manage?

The problem was obtaining travel visas.

No other country would accept us.

My father had a cousin in New York who helped us.

Finally, in 1940, we obtained these visas.

But we only had enough money for one ticket.

For my little sister, Margo.

She was barely 11 years old.

And my parents didn't want her to travel alone,

so they sent me alone.

The boat trip made me sick.

When I arrived, I stayed with my cousin.

And the Nazis invaded Holland.

My family never reappeared.

So I left for Detroit.

I found an internship at a tool factory.

I learned English by listening to baseball on the radio.

After Pearl Harbor,

I was the first person to show up at the recruiting office to enlist in the army.

You know what they told me?

That they couldn't accept me because I wasn't an American citizen.

I had to wait to be called.

So I waited.

I waited and waited,

and for two years, I checked my mailbox every day.

On June 6, 1944,

D-Day, I landed on Omaha Beach.

Although four years earlier,

I left that country in the middle of the night, scared and alone.

I came back with a fucking army.

I found Margo.

She's in Switzerland.

She's sixteen now and lives with family.

She's fine.

She survived.

And your parents?

The records indicate that my parents arrived at Auschwitz

on August 12, 1942.

The camp was liberated on January 27, 1945,

but there was no trace of them.

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

"The final solution."

As if we were

just some kind of puzzle they finally managed to solve.

Houvi, I'm really sorry.

I'll tell Streicher.

I'm going to tell him.

Just before I put the noose around his neck.

I'm going to tell that piece of shit he trusted a Jew.

You say it doesn't matter what happens tomorrow.

It matters.

More than you think.

It matters to me.

For my family.

For all of Germany.

If you think he's going to play the Jacksons.

Doctor, please do something.

I can't.

I'm just a psychiatrist.

You want to know why this happened here?

Because people let it happen.

Because they didn't object until it was too late.

Have a good trip back, Doctor.

Yes, sir, of course.

No.

I understand perfectly.

Thank you.

Son of a bitch.

Truman just nominated Frederick Vinson to head the Supreme Court.

I didn't want this job.

Who would want that?

Dr. Kelley, it seems to me you've been relieved of your duties.

That's precisely why he surrendered.

This is his last chance to redeem the Reich on the world stage.

After what I read in the newspaper today,

I think I don't care what you think.

- You won't get it! Guards!

Not without help.

That's all I have on him.

Private documents, unofficial conversations.

I know more about this man than anyone else in the world.

And it's all there, at the CIA.

Why did I keep all this?

I intended to write a book.

To accomplish something in my life.

Everything's fine.

Do you really think I can't achieve it?

Honestly?

I don't know.

You know, I was going to become Chief Justice of the Supreme Court.

Now, I'll be lucky if I get my job back when I return.

And I was discharged from the army six hours ago.

We have nothing else left, sir.

All the decisions that led us here must be just.

So, even if he doesn't want to talk about the camps,

the SS and the Final Solution,

you can force him to take responsibility.

Kelis is right.

Force him to admit that he signed these orders.

I'll get him.

Today is your day.

You are ready.

Sergeant, why is Dagas Kelis still here?

I have no idea, General.

Everyone to attention!

Judge Jackson,

Are you ready?

We call Herman Göring to the stand.

Do you have any doubt whatsoever that Adolf Hitler is dead?

So you understand that this makes you the only living man

who can explain to us the true objectives of the Nazi party

and the internal workings of its leadership?

I understand perfectly.

Your party, from the very beginning,

intended to overthrow the Weimar Republic?

That was our firm intention.

What the hell is this?

Once in power, you immediately abolished parliamentary government in Germany?

We decided that it was no longer necessary.

Because you thought the people weren't capable of self-government?

We were elected by the people

and received a mandate for change.

The previous system had brought Germany to the brink of ruin.

Your President Roosevelt said:

There are certain nations in Europe that have given up democracy, not

because they didn't want it, but because

the democratic government placed men who were too weak in power.

Let's move on to war crimes.

Once in power, you deemed

that it was necessary to suppress all opposition parties, didn't you?

We decided that it was no longer possible to tolerate the opposition.

You also deemed it necessary to immediately create concentration camps?

The camps were created as a way to fight against the communists.

and their violence.

Vienna, two or three camps, something like that.

You also needed a certain group.

*Who carries out the orders and, if necessary, fights for you, right?

A certain group?

Well, for example, if you wanted certain people killed,

you needed an organization to do it.

Yes, in Germany, there was the same level of political police

as in any other country.

The SA and the SS

were organizations that carried out these orders

and took care of people physically, didn't they?

The SA was never ordered to kill anyone.

Neither was the SS, at least not in my day.

At a certain point, I no longer had any influence on this matter.

Well, the SS carried out arrests.

They were in charge of transporting people to concentration camps.

Do you remember

when the SS began acting as the enforcer of the Nazi party?

It would be very difficult for me to explain to a foreigner

where the SS or the Gestapo could operate, and where they could not.

Try it.

Well, perhaps when the police fell more under Himmler's control,

expectations may have changed.

Of course, it's well known that certain SS units

guarded the camps and later performed certain police functions.

And performed other functions in the camps?

What functions are you referring to?

In the camps, they performed all the functions, didn't they?

If an SS unit was guarding a camp,

and the SS commander was the camp commander,

then it would be logical to think

that they were fulfilling all the camp's functions.

Finish it.

So you wanted a strong Germany so that...

...the terms of the Treaty of Versailles would not be applied, right?

We wanted a strong Germany.

The first country occupied by Germany was Austria,

but before the First World War, it wasn't part of Germany,

and it wasn't taken from Germany by the Treaty of Versailles, was it?

No, not quite.

The second territory occupied by Germany

was Bohemia, then Moravia, and then Slovakia.

They were also not taken from Germany by the Treaty of Versailles,

and they weren't part of Germany before World War I either, were they?

These parts of Czech territory

did not belong to the smaller German Reich at the time of the Treaty of Versailles.

But before that,

they were part of the German Reich

for centuries.

You still haven't answered my question.

I answered.

If you don't like the facts, there's not much I can do about it.

Can you answer "yes" or "no"?

Perhaps your time isn't as valuable as someone else's.

Your Honor, the court finds that the witness should be allowed

to provide the explanations he deems correct.

I believe the court is aware that beyond the walls of this room,

lies a huge social problem concerning the resurgence of Nazism,

and that one of the objectives of the defendant Göring

is to encourage and consolidate it

through propaganda, by using this ongoing trial.

Your Honor... This witness in the dock

and the accused in the dock

behaved with arrogance and contempt towards this court, which gives him

the opportunity to be tried,

when he himself has never given this opportunity to any living being!

The decision still stands, Your Honor.

Of course, I must obey the court's decision,

but I would ask the witness to please answer briefly.

Could you repeat the question?

Weren't they retained

In accordance with the Treaty of Versailles, right?

As well as the Sudetenland.

These two territories would have become German territories.

By virtue of the simple right of self-determination of peoples.

That's interesting, given that you just testified

that the right of peoples to self-determination was the first thing you abolished.

2

From the very beginning,

you considered the exclusion of Jews from German economic life

as a phase of the Four-Year Plan

falling within your purview, wouldn't you say?

Partly true... "Partly."

I would like to briefly review

your public actions concerning the Jewish question.

First, did you promulgate the Nuremberg Laws?

Yes.

That was my role as President of the Reichstag.

What was the date?

September 15, 1935.

Then, on December 1, 1936, you passed a law

stipulating that the transfer of property abroad by Germans was punishable by death?

That's correct.

It was... the decree on restrictions on foreign currency.

Later, on April 22, 1938, you announced sanctions

for concealing Jewish business activities within the Reich.

Yes, for "concealment."

On April 26, 1938, you signed a decree

requiring the registration of all Jewish property in Germany and abroad.

Yes, I signed it.

Then, the decree of November 12, 1938.

Aiming to extort one billion Reichsmarks from the Jews as a ransom.

Yes, but that...

And that all damage caused to Jewish property

during the 1938 riots, must be immediately reimbursed by the Jews themselves,

and that insurance compensation be transferred to the Reich.

There are many details here. Insurance compensation...

And the decree of September 17, 1940,

ordering the confiscation of all Jewish property in Poland.

Yes. This part of Poland was a former German province.

By the decree of July 31, 1941... and was to be returned to Germany.

Himmler and Heydrich were tasked

with developing plans for the Final Solution to the Jewish Question.

That's false.

I know this decree very well.

Please show document number 710,

Presentation number USA-509.

I think this should be included in the minutes to avoid any dispute regarding the translation.

You signed this document, didn't you?

That's right.

If I'm wrong, please correct me.

Completing the task assigned to you on January 24, 1939

and concerning the resolution of the Jewish question,

by obtaining the most favorable outcome possible,

by encouraging emigration and evacuation,

By this document, you are charged with carrying out all the Preparations

Organizational and financial preparations necessary for the implementation

of the Final Solution to the Jewish Question.

He cornered him.

So far, so good?

No, your translation is incorrect.

Then please provide us with your translation.

In addition to the task assigned to you.

By decree of January 24, 1939,

in order to resolve the Jewish question through emigration and evacuation,

given the existing conditions

and in the most favorable manner possible, I instruct you

to carry out all the necessary preparations

Organizational, material, and financial.

There is also

this sentence:

"For a complete solution…"

No, "final solution."

"…For a complete solution to the Jewish question." »

"Complete and finalized"?

Yes, completed and finalized.

Did you want the SS commander to implement a completed and finalized solution?

Yes, but I would like to provide an explanation.

Oh, please, provide it.

I sent this letter to Himmler and Heydrich

because since the declaration of January 24, 1939,

about 18 months had already passed,

and Heydrich had made very little progress,

that is why I instructed him to expedite the resolution of the question of Jewish emigration.

My desire is to…

find a complete solution to the Jewish problem

and eliminate its financial influence

by sending them or evacuating them from Germany.

That is what is written in the document you presented to me.

Do you have any further questions for the witness, Mr. Jackson?

May I ask, is the witness free to withdraw?

I have a question.

Today, only the U.S. Attorney is questioning the witness.

The United States is always pleased to hear

from our honorable colleague from Great Britain.

Just a few simple questions, Your Honor.

It will only take a moment.

You mentioned to this court

that in 1942, you had lost some of your influence over Adolf Hitler, hadn't you?

Yes, I believe that was the case.

But in 1942, you were still Reichsmarschall of Germany,

Hitler's right-hand man, wasn't he?

Yes, I was Reichsmarschall.

And you say you were completely unaware

that three million Jews were murdered in 1942?

I wasn't aware of that.

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

At least 800,000 Jews were murdered in the camps.

In 1943, you were still Reichsmarschall, weren't you?

That's correct.

In 1944, another 800,000 Jews died in the camps.

And in 1944, you were still Reichsmarschall, weren't you?

In total, approximately six million Jews,

as well as Soviet and Polish citizens,

people of Roma origin,

artists, scientists,

writers, journalists

people who did not die in combat,

not from enemy fire,

but exterminated by the German state,

a state in which you held one of the highest political offices,

that of Reichsmarschall,

and you claim you weren't aware of this.

At least tell me this:

Knowing what we know now,

Knowing what happened to six million Jews, I must ask you:

Would you still follow Führer Adolf Hitler?

Yes,

I would follow him.

Order! Order!

Heil Hitler!

Are you out of questions?

I think this is an excellent place.

to finish today's work.

You fought hard.

Really good.

I held on. You succeeded.

And now?

If Göring falls, they will all fall.

Everything will be fine.

There you go.

Are you leaving?

I still have something to do.

Doctor.

You helped them, didn't you?

Yes.

I'm leaving.

Are you leaving?

I'm going home.

Goodbye.

And now, what shall we do, Doctor?

Shake hands?

I know, we were friends, Douglas...

For a while.

Take care, Hermann.

After all these years...

I wonder what you'll say about us.

Will you at least acknowledge that we were men?

The verdict of the International Military Tribunal will now be read.

1946.

Hermann Göring.

The evidence shows that after Hitler's death,

you became the most important man

of the Nazi regime.

Your guilt is unique in its magnitude.

There is no excuse in the records.

The International Military Tribunal sentences you

to death by hanging.

Rudolf Hess,

you are found guilty on all four counts.

The executions are scheduled for midnight tonight.

In order to maintain discipline,

the prisoners will only be informed at 11:45 PM,

when they are awakened in their cells

and the last rites are administered to them.

8:00 PM.

Eight hand-picked journalists arrive at the prison.

Two French, two British, two Americans, and two Russians.

The lights go out at 9:30 PM.

After a final, cursory examination by the doctor.

To the prisoner who asks for a sleeping pill,

a placebo with baking powder will be given.

At 10 p.m., we will lead the representatives of the press to the foot of the gallows,

where I will briefly tell them about the final preparations for tonight.

Abracadabra.

The prisoners will be brought in one by one.

and they will have the opportunity to say a final word.

After that, they...

Excuse me.

What is it? Göring. General.

Damn.

No, no. No. No!

No, you bastard! You can't do this!

He's dead, General. Cyanide.

Good God!

You filthy bastard!

Excuse me, General, but we must make a decision.

General, Streicher refuses to get dressed.

Let him go. Let him go!

Julius.

You were a friend.

Go.

Let's do this together.

Go ahead.

Give me his shirt.

Ask him his name.

You know my name.

Purim, 1946!

Damn.

GÖRING COMMITTED SUICIDE

He cheated the gallows with poison

He survived.

Honestly, Dr. Kelly,

Some of the conclusions in your book seem completely implausible.

You've been dealing with Nazis, who, you must admit, are a unique people.

They are not unique.

Today, in every country in the world, there are people similar to the Nazis.

LIVE

Not in America. - Yes, in America too!

Douglas M. Kelley, psychiatrist

Their personality traits are not obscure.

These are people who want to be in power.

And even if you say there aren't any here,

I am absolutely certain that there are people in America

who would be happy to walk over the corpses of half of all Americans,

if they knew it would give them control of the other half.

Doctor, please.

They stir up hatred.

That's what Hitler and Göring did, and it's a classic example.

And if you think that the next time this happens,

we'll recognize them because they'll be wearing horrible uniforms,

you're completely crazy.

We will return to the discussion with the participants after a break.

Yes...

I will not hesitate to invite you to stay for the rest.

Let's go.

And know this:

Denigrating our country is probably not the best way to sell a book.

Robert Jackson returned to the Supreme Court.

The legal practice he established at Nuremberg

became the basis for all modern criminal prosecutions

for crimes against humanity.

After the trial, Howie Triest left the army

and returned to America with his sister Margo.

He lived to the age of 93.

Douglas Kelley's book was not a success.

He never wrote another one.

He was increasingly annoyed that no one was paying attention to his warnings.

In 1958, after a long struggle with depression, Kelley committed suicide.

He used cyanide, the same poison as Hermann Göring.

The only indication of what a man is capable of doing,

is what he has already done.
