What will be shown is based on survivor testimonies.

And those who haven't.

Adolf Hitler is dead.

The Nazi high command was distraught.

Worldwide, 70 million people perished.

More than in any other conflict in human history.

Last day of the war in Europe.

Hurry up! Hurry up! Hurry up!

Make way! Out of the way!

Calm down, Hans.

Please turn off the car's engine.

Do you have a handkerchief?

No, no.

Eda, will you be brave for me?

Hey!

Show your hands!

My God, it's Hermann Göring.

What?

Hitler's second.

Gentlemen.

I'm officially surrendering.

My luggage is in the car.

What does it say?

He asks us to take his luggage.

Teiséjas Džeksonas?

That depends on whether you have a serious reason for knocking on my door at three in the morning.

That depends on whether you have a serious reason for knocking on my door at three in the morning.

They captured Hermann Göring alive.

Where? Austria.

What are they going to do with it?

That's the real question. May I come in?

No. But it's raining.

I can see that. Are they going to shoot him?

I don't know.

Finally, they intended to shoot him.

Yes, Your Honor.

Churchill and Roosevelt signed an executive order

the one you opposed.

I'm a Supreme Court Justice.

I'm not inclined to approve an execution without a trial.

That's precisely what I want to talk about.

It's just not possible.

You keep saying that. Because it's impossible.

At least give me one good reason.

There is no legal precedent for such a trial.

There is no international law to fall back on.

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

because the concept of international law is such

that one country cannot dictate to the citizens of another 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 described in 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'm going to get another one for myself and, just in case, one for you.

Who are you going to judge?

German chefs?

The soldiers?

What about the judges who enforced the racial codes?

Obviously, we'll have to sort it out.

And when you've decided who to judge, what will you accuse them of?

Conspiring to start a war of global aggression.

You want the United States to make an accusation like that?

Yes.

Against Germany,

A country that has never attacked us.

Let's face it, Robert.

You want to know how I'd do it?

It would have to be a completely international affair.

All allies should be involved.

The United States,

Great Britain, France, Russia...

It's impossible to do it without Russia.

Four international judges.

Talk about a court of law.

Exactly.

The world needs to know what these men have done.

It's a logistical nightmare.

I know.

But it has to be done.

Mondorf, Luxembourg

A Soviet step to erase the Nazi stain.

A woman solves a 4-metre riddle... in vain.

Choose a card.

MOVE TO

Hermann doesn't need it anymore.

Tell me to pick one.

Choose a card.

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

Memorize it and put it back in the pack.

Now mix them together.

What's next?

My card was the three of spades.

You could hardly call it a trick. - Turn over the top card.

Who are you?

Psychiatrist.

What are you doing in Mondorf?

I'd like to know that too.

Now even psychiatrists are sent on secret missions?

I'm sure I'll be the first.

How did you do it... with the doors?

I didn't do anything.

You're a good magician.

Doctor Kelis ? 2FS7

Sergeant Howie Trieste, at your service.

I'll take you to the commander's office.

"Tigers? Yes, sir.

Perhaps we'll meet again.

PoSimts!

Who is it?

Elle. Houvi, - a very attractive woman.

Did you mention 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 say because you don't know,

or you can't say it because someone told you not to.

I can't tell you.

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

Translator for whom?

You'll see.

That you're a "brilliant head specialist".

I assume you have some questions for me.

Several. So let's get started.

You're in a secret military prison.

The last top Nazi leaders are held here.

The governments of the United States and France,

of Great Britain and the United States of America

are now deciding whether to charge these men with their crimes.

During the trial, you will supervise

and ensure prisoners' mental health.

Suicide will be the main preoccupation of most prisoners.

Hitler, Goebbels and Himmler have already committed suicide.

We can't afford any more losses.

Goebbels and Himmler did it thanks to her.

A hidden cyanide capsule.

You'll have to keep a very close eye on Gœring.

Gœring?

You mean Hermann Gœring?

Is Hermann Gœring here?

Sergeant, is it possible

that the major suffered a violent blow to the head on his way to my office?

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

There's just a lot of information.

Do it as quickly as possible.

Roger, sir.

Gœring turned himself in while traveling with his family.

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

And a lot of it.

We sent it to the U.S. for classification.

Paracodeine.

A powerful analgesic. He likes it a lot.

GOV

GOV. They say it's for his heart.

Well, then he has a very fertile imagination.

It has nothing to do with the heart.

It's an opiate.

How many tablets does he take a day?

Sergeant? Forty, sir.

It's safe to say.

That the Reichsmarshall has a drug problem.

Where's his family now?

They've been released and it's none of your business.

Your only job is to evaluate Gœring and the others.

That's all there is to it.

Sir, I'm a good doctor, but

the entire Nazi leadership

might be a bit out of my league.

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

Free.

He's not much of a motivator, is he?

The Commander isn't exactly known for his emotionality, sir.

- I want to meet him. Meet who?

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

Wouldn't you like to settle in first?

I want to know who I'm dealing with.

Well, don't worry too much.

Not at all. Not at all. Tell me about him!

Reichsmarschall Hermann Göring, President of the Reichstag,

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

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

He was appointed Hitler's successor in 1939.

and is the highest-ranking German officer in history.

Of course...

Now I'm a little worried.

Don't worry, everything will be fine.

Reichsmarschall.

Good morning, Mr Triest.

Reichsmarschall Göring, I'm Dr. Douglas Kelley.

He says... Wonderful! A doctor!

That's right. May I take your pulse?

He asks for his tablet.

He wants you to bring it to him.

I understand you've had heart problems.

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

Would you mind unbuttoning your shirt?

Breathing is rapid and shallow.

Toneversk

Tablets also help relieve pain, don't they?

Yes, yes.

He is said to have been wounded in 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've 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're looking at the best physical constitution in Germany.

Ask my wife.

I'm sure you're right, sir,

but the guards call you Gros.

I'm convinced of it,

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

But you have the strength and discipline,

what others lack, right?

You see, it's different.

We'll be good friends.

I'm convinced of it.

I hope so.

Have a nice day.

Extremely sure of himself.

Charming.

He speaks English.

What is it? What is it?

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

He understands 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 edge.

Just a moment.

Sakai, for the past three months,

where I was mumbling through my teeth, 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'm not a threat.

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

Dr Robert Ley.

The leader of the German Labor Front.

One of Hitler's first disciples.

He wrote a book in which he praised the Führer so highly,

that an embarrassed Hitler ordered the entire print run destroyed.

Ley, who ran the Nazi work program,

was arrested in Goering's pyjamas. It was called "Investigation into high-ranking Nazi prisoners".

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

I can smell a Jew, plain and simple.

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 any specific crime,

Charge me or set me free.

Julius Streicher. Hitler's propaganda director.

Hitler's propaganda director.

Founder of the national anti-Semitic newspaper

"Der Stürmer.

Streicher!

Nicknamed the high priest of anti-Semitism

and the Beast from Franconia, he led the boycott of the Jews.

auynbergagelezineranka

He wants to know if you're Jewish.

But you have 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 began a strict diet and exercise regime.

He stopped taking pills altogether.

As if he was preparing for something.

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

Is there a library in town?

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

2:33 a.m.? - Yes, take a coat.

All right.

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 by them.

Let's find out who they are.

Do you really? Do you speak good German, 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?

Getting these guys to...

...confide in you.

Of course you can.

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 them trust me.

They'll open.

It looks so simple.

What if we could analyze evil?

/What distinguishes these men from all the others?

What enabled them to commit these crimes?

They've almost conquered the world.

Have you heard of the Jewish labour camps?

It is rumored that these were not just labor camps.

I heard.

So, how does one become like that?

Maybe we really do have a chance to find out.

To find out how Germans are different.

Different?

About us.

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

You know, for a moment there, I thought you were noble.

Do you have to be noble?

Perfect.

If we could define evil psychologically,

we could ensure that something similar never happens again.

What's going on? Hermann Göring isn't breathing.

Traukités! - Houvi!

The airways are clear. Isn't that nice?

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

- Where's the prison doctor? - On his way.

Okay, tell him to hurry up.

Houvi, I need aspirin.

Good old aspirin. Hurry up! Hurry up! - I'm off!

Hey, hey, hey.

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

And we're going to keep it that way.

You need to calm down, okay?

Breathe with me.

Inhale and exhale.

Here I am. Look at me. Here I am.

I won't let you die, understand?

Inhale and exhale.

Here we are. Is this your wife?

It's here, it's here, it's here.

Breathe with me.

The doctor arrives. Aspirin.

Pass me a few, will you?

Thank you, Houvi.

The best remedy for the heart -

is good old aspirin. Yes.

You can trust me.

Breathe in and out.

Chew, chew.

That's better.

The pulse is slower.

Yes.

You know something? You're alive.

Alive.

What do you think?

Thank you.

Take him to the infirmary. Come on.

Why are you smiling?

"Thank you," he said in English.

In 1948, Truman wants to be re-elected.

He has no intention of coddling Nazis.

Logical.

In addition, the court gives them the opportunity to

to tell their story to the world.

What are we afraid of hearing from them?

Bob, we won the damn war.

If you do this,

it will be the biggest failure of all time.

Cameras in this cursed courtroom...

And if they deserve compassion?

And if all this offers them is a platform

for anti-Semitism worldwide?

Do you want to be responsible?

You want to know if I'm in trouble

to kill a few Nazis without trial?

Of course I do.

But anyway, it doesn't matter.

The Russians won't agree.

What?

The Russians agreed.

Really?

Truman personally called Stalin.

They are considering Nikichenko for the post of chief prosecutor.

Excellent news.

I have no idea who you are.

Colonel John Amen, sir.

I work for the War Attorney General.

So, the army is sending us a lawyer?

Yes, sir.

I bring you greetings from General Eisenhower,

who wants you to know that he doesn't approve of hanging without trial.

Well, that's progress.

He also hopes that the trial will not last too long,

so that we can hang them.

Have a seat.

I've read a lot about you, sir.

They say you'll be the next president of the Supreme Court.

The president personally promised you the job.

And he's sworn to secrecy,

so maybe it's better not to tell everyone,

who came to the office, okay?

Well, everyone in my office says,

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

And what do you think?

I like underdogs.

Hello, Julius.

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

and tell me what you see on each of them.

Maybe this will reveal something about your character,

your intelligence or creativity;

anything you say here stays between us.

Mr. Doctor.

Yes.

If it helps, I can speak to you in English.

Only if it makes you feel comfortable.

Shall we get started?

A butterfly.

A witch.

A torpedo attack.

Someone spilled something.

I see 10,000 horses.

I see a Ride of the Valkyries.

A vagina.

The vagina of a Jewess.

Here, it's blood.

Whose blood?

Or ink.

You can say a lot with ink.

I'm sorry, Bob.

Sivakar has 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 in the background, which is why he needs Congress.

Neither will do it without the other.

Then you need something more... persuasive. Oh, come on.

What could be more persuasive than the president?

Jesus Christ.

Exactly.

Are you Catholic? I am now.

The Holy Father will receive you now.

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

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

Your support would go a long way to helping us achieve international consensus.

No one denies that these men are evil.

But the principle, an eye for an eye,

is not the solution.

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

Are you Catholic?

No, my lord.

A religious man?

Not particularly.

But in your country, they call you a judge.

I didn't choose this title.

If you spend enough time judging others,

you will begin to believe that the laws of men

are more important than God's laws.

I don't think so.

So, what do you believe in?

In man.

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 very sorry,

but the Catholic Church cannot support you in this matter.

But you could support them in 1933.

I beg your pardon?

You personally signed the concordat with Hitler.

It was quite different.

You lived in Munich and were a nuncio in the German Empire.

The Catholic Church was the first world power to recognize the Führer's state.

You gave credibility to the Nazis.

To protect Catholics in Germany...

Isn't that a shame?

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

Do you think I justify what they did?

Sir, people will remember

of what you did in 1933.

And what you do now,

they'll 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.

News arrived this evening.

There will be a trial.

A trial?

Very good.

That's how it should be.

Those cards you showed me,

what did they say about me?

Honestly? That you're very smart.

And I could have told you myself.

Also that you're a narcissist,

prone to a world of expansive, aggressive fantasies,

with a strong ambition and desire

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

Does that surprise you?

No.

Then the cards haven't taught you anything.

Ponas Triestas says you know a trick.

I'm very sorry.

Yes.

Well, if it's not too much trouble...

We have no entertainment here.

Why not?

Here's an ordinary, medium silver dollar.

Ta-da!

Very good.

One day, I'll show you a trick.

Which one?

Escape the hangman's noose.

And how do you intend to do that?

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

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 knocked down the bell tower.

Once completed, however, the courtroom should be able to accommodate 600 people.

And what about resources?

The Nazis fought here for the last time when the town was taken.

And so it will again.

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

You want to bring them to justice...

In these bombed-out ruins?

You'll be David Maxwell Fyfe, British assistant prosecutor.

First, we can control space.

Secondly, there's a prison nearby with a capacity of up to 1,200 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 trial, there won't be any more.

And you, me, Judge Jackson...

...and our governments will become the laughing stock of the world,

defeated by the same men we imprisoned.

It's going to be fun.

My friends in Washington say opinion has shifted against you.

No.

They say that after Stone's departure, you won't get the Chief Justice's job.

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

Yes, but it's there.

It's all become a side effect, Robert.

And it hasn't even started yet.

They say you prepare all the documents yourself,

refusing the help of other lawyers.

Because it has to be done properly.

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

Everything will be fine as soon as the trial begins.

You say that the trial of the top Nazi leaders..,

based on unproven case law,

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

Well, when you put it like that...

Victory must be absolute,

otherwise it will be a total defeat.

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

You have to be beyond reproach.

No pressure.

One more.

Cells made of stone.

Three by four metres.

Wall-mounted beds.

Straw-filled mattresses, no springs.

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

Chairs cannot be leaned against the wall.

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

When you go to bed,

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

No belts, no laces.

No toilet seat; nothing,

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

Welcome to Nuremberg.

So here it is

your cell.

Does that suit you?

German construction.

How could it not?

They'll be serving the charges soon, won't they?

Are you looking forward to it?

I think so.

I will, as you say,

"my day in court".

Do you know this Jackson?

Judge Jackson?

No, I don't know him.

He'll 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 all those who have tried.

But you're 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 exactly where I want to be.

Göring remains a mystery to me.

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

We need to find a way to approach it.

What to do?

We're going to ask him for help.

How can we help?

Rudolf Hess.

Is he coming here?

Rudolf Hess, Führer's deputy.

Third in order after Hitler and Göring.

With both in prison, Hess rewrote Hitler's "Mein Kampf"...

and was known as one of his most fanatical disciples.

Don't ever do that again in my prison.

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

Hess stole a Messerschmitt.

And crossed the North Sea.

He jumped somewhere over Scotland and broke his ankle.

Hess... Rudolf Hess.

3rd member of the German High Command.

Arriving on a mission of peace and wishing to talk

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

whom he met at the Berlin Olympic Games in 1936.

After certain obstacles, Hess was allowed to meet someone.

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

to pardon Winston Churchill,

and negotiate peace with Great Britain,

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

Hess was immediately locked up in the Tower of London.

He then claimed not to remember his past, or even his childhood.

This lasted until February 1945,

where he declared that his previous amnesia was feigned.

Then he changed his mind and said

that I wanted to discredit my old friend.

What's in it for me?

And what do you want?

My wife

and my daughter.

Since I turned myself in, no one has been able to find them.

I need you to find them, Doctor.

And that you pass on these...

...letters.

We'll talk to Hess first,

then to your family.

PRISONER OF WAR

What do you mean?

This man is about to conquer the world,

and now you want us to act as messengers? Doctor!

I'm closer to him than anyone has ever been,

and meeting his family will only give me more information.

Good, Rudolf.

Atsimeni mane?

Yes, we were together.

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,

maybe you were a friend.

But I don't recognize you anymore.

He's lying.

He just spent an hour saying he didn't remember me.

But when he got to the prison and saw me,

what did he do?

He greeted me.

Very good.

It's stupid.

Ah, stupid.

I knew you'd help me.

Yes, because I'm stupid.

How did you find them?

Rumor had it they were in Veldenstein.

Cigarette?

I've never seen you smoke.

I don't smoke, I've stopped.

My parents couldn't stand it.

But you always do.

A way to curry favor with officers.

I told myself I'd light one again when the war was over.

Howie, the war's over.

Not for much longer.

French?

Mrs. Göring?

I'm 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 doing well.

Did you play?

It's very beautiful.

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

Eda...

... "How's Dad?"

Very good.

"Is he brave?"

Very brave.

He wants you to be brave too.

He wrote you a letter.

She'll read it hundreds of times, I think.

Doctor!

It's for Hermann.

I don't know if I can.

Of course you can.

Please come back.

20388707 Doctor, are you all right?

What the hell?

What's going on?

We received a message a few hours ago.

We make accusations.

Where were you?

Hermann Göring?

I, Reichsmarschall Hermann Göring.

Hermann Wilhelm Göring,

The United States of America, the French Republic,

United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland

and the USSR present you with 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 of which you are accused include murder,

extermination, slavery, deportation and other inhuman acts.

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

Have a nice day.

Who's next?

Streicher.

Do you have any questions?

What did he say?

That he wants a Jewish lawyer.

I won't be judged.

You will be, Doctor Léjau.

I've never killed anyone.

Guards!

All's well, all's well.

Don't touch me.

Robert. - Don't touch me! Don't touch me!

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

I can't be treated like a common criminal!

Shoot me! Shoot me!

Shoot me!

Difficult day?

The girl on the train

Magician.

How's the secret mission going?

Unforeseen obstacles appeared.

You can tell.

What are you doing here?

I came with the press.

Today, Hermann Göring and other Nazis are under indictment.

This can't be true!

Get ready.

This city is about to become... "The greatest show on earth".

Your wife.

Have you seen it?

Date: Nuremberg!

While horrifying rumors continue to circulate about the true purpose of the Nazi labor camps,

legal teams are gearing up for what promises to be

the trial of the century.

Through a tunnel, the Nazis are led 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

should meet our boys in a week's time.

Will justice prevail? Or will the fascists remain free?

This journalist very much hopes

that allies won't encounter any problems.

We have a problem.

Operation Weserübung: the 1940 invasion of Germany in Denmark and Norway.

A classic example of a war of aggression.

The Nazis arrive in tanks and occupy a neutral country.

Except that they claim the invasion was a pre-emptive strike.

A pre-emptive strike against whom?

The British plan to invade Norway.

It's ridiculous. Absolutely ridiculous.

I couldn't agree more.

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

Well, as well as being ridiculous, it's also true.

The idea was to use the country as a stopping-off point to hold back the Nazis.

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

if you plan such wars of aggression yourselves.

I admit, it makes sense.

Can the Nazis prove it?

The German lawyer has already made a request for documents.

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

Perhaps.

But this raises a more important issue.

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

How exactly do you propose to do this?

Dr. Kelly, you'll meet a very important person tonight.

This could be an opportunity to finally be useful.

Impressive, isn't it?

Hitler built it as the biggest stadium on the planet.

You're Judge Jackson.

And you're a psychiatrist.

That's where they organized rallies.

Every year, Hitler would gather crowds here.

and addressed the entire Nazi party.

Everything was filmed.

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

Do you know them?

The Nuremberg Laws defined Jews as

as anyone with three or four Jewish grandparents.

And it doesn't matter if you practice Judaism,

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

These laws stripped all Jews of their German citizenship.

They prohibited Jews and Germans from intermarrying.

for fear of the Rassenschande.

The "taint of race".

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

and anyone over 14 could no longer go to school.

Libraries, parks and beaches were off-limits to Jews.

Jewish names on war memorials

have been deleted.

All this has been decreed here, in this place.

What do you want from me?

Your patients...

I want you to start asking the right questions.

And what are the right questions?

What they tell their lawyers.

How they intend 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 think you already have, Doctor.

We've read all the reports.

We need more.

Why not just shoot them?

That's all anyone wants.

- Well, if you're going to cheat... - It's not cheating.

If you're asking me to violate my oath.

Why not just shoot them and be done with it?

After the Great War, Germany was on its knees.

We humiliated them.

We forced them to pay for repairs they couldn't afford.

We made them hate us so much,

in less than two decades,

from a nation on its knees, they have become almost world conquerors.

We have to get it right, or else,

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

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

If we simply shoot these men, they will become martyrs.

And I can't allow that.

There will be no statues of them.

No hymns to their glory.

I'll put Hermann Göring on the witness stand.

and force him to tell the world what he's done;

so that this never happens again.

You brought me here because of Göring?

No.

I've brought you here

to show you that before you start firing bullets,

before sacrificing tens of millions of men,

it all began 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 all fall.

But to do so,

I have to be ready to face it.

Are you going to help me?

Let's talk about Hitler.

It's odd 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 soldier, not very good, but adored and respected.

It made us feel German again.

How?

Well, the war ended with Germany's defeat.

And here comes a man who says:

We can regain our former glory.

Wouldn't you follow such a man?

It depends on what else he'd like to do.

The first time I saw Hitler speak,

was in 1922.

On the second floor above a café.

Around 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."

If we're threatened, we need weapons.

Let's arm ourselves! Down with the Treaty of Versailles!

So, that night, I became a National Socialist.

Because of one speech?

You could tell it would appeal to veterans.

To have old soldiers is to have strength.

Even his anti-Semitism had a practical purpose.

It brought us people,

who needed something else, something to focus their emotions.

Something else to blame.

Which camps?

They were supposed to be work camps

for our political opponents, nothing more.

And you were okay with that?

Work camps? Yes.

Do you think the Japanese the Americans interned after Pearl Harbor

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

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

Not for death.

Himmler, Heydrich.

Were they responsible?

If what is said about these camps is true,

so it's a terrible shame for the great German Reich.

Did you tell your lawyer that?

Douglas, you can't oppose the Führer.

Even if it could help?

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

I'm only telling you.

He could be understanding.

It'll get you into trouble.

He states that he sincerely believed that these were just labor camps.

Himmler ran the camps, didn't he?

He was the head of the SS.

Göring led the Luftwaffe.

Does the head of the U.S. Air Force know

what does the head of the secret service do?

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

I'll do as you ask. - No, you won't!

- You apologize on his behalf. - Gentlemen, please.

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

I'm analyzing it, you provincial idiot.

Göring, above all, is a narcissist.

All he cares about is strengthening Germany and becoming its leader.

He's not interested in Jews.

And he doesn't care if they die.

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

Hermann Göring only cares about Hermann Göring.

Can such a man be

dedicated to the extermination of an entire race?

Dr. Kelley, I really appreciate your clarification on this issue,

but I have to admit that it's very difficult

to believe it.

If you want to go into this trial with preconceived ideas, fine.

But it will swallow you whole.

I'd like to apologize for my earlier lapse.

I'm feeling much better.

Perfect, Doctor Ley.

How are you? You seem preoccupied.

All is well.

Don't worry,

all this will soon come to an end.

Ley's mood improved considerably.

He said he had begun preparing his defense.

I feel like he's started to communicate.

Crap.

Get moving! Get moving!

Doctor! Doctor! Faster, faster, faster!

My God!

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

He stuffed underwear in his mouth to keep from screaming

and then he just leaned forward.

Apparently with great determination.

Just to be sure?

He told me he was feeling better.

"Better?

You were supposed to make sure they stayed alive.

R. LEJUS

I sent for another doctor.

It has been determined that a second opinion is required for some of your patients.

Dr Gilbert is arriving this afternoon.

You will instruct him.

How do you feel about suicide?

It's the last refuge of cowards.

Or the last 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 the death of Léjus, they no longer trust you.

You're wrong.

Douglas,

when you're in power,

you're always being hunted.

We have to be careful.

Why should I distrust my allies?

It's not because someone is your ally,

it means she's on your side.

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

No.

Well...

He was posted to Africa.

That's where he met his best friend,

a man by the name of Hermann von Epenstein.

I was named in his honor.

Yes, I was given a Jewish name.

We were very fond of Uncle Hermann.

He was very rich.

He lived at Waldstein Castle.

When I was six,

he made my whole family move in with him.

Can you imagine?

Living in such a castle was a childhood dream.

I ran through the corridors imagining I was a knight,

I looked down from the battlements,

imagining armies rushing to attack.

Uncle Hermann lived in the greatest

and the most beautiful room on the top floor.

At the end of the corridor was my mother's bedroom, also very beautiful.

My father...

lived in a small room on the first floor.

I realized how rich Uncle Hermann was.

So rich that he could move my whole family into his house.

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

So rich that, whenever he wanted,

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

and enjoy my mother.

Just because a man is your ally

that he's on your side.

Does Hermann Göring seem to have a "fertile imagination"?

I don't think so, as tests have shown.

Well, that's why you need a second opinion.

Which brings us to Rudolf Hess.

I'm inclined to think his amnesia is real.

You mean the part where he forgets he's a Nazi?

Listen, Dr. Kelley,

I'm not here to get in your way.

I'll be sharing my research. We'll be co-authors.

Co-authors?

Don't try to play with me.

We're both here for the same reason.

Two books on 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 book.

It works because people want to believe in it.

You take the dollar and you say:

Hey, everybody! Here's a simple silver dollar.

Then you put it in the other hand.

You focus their attention.

But in reality, it's here.

You keep it in your right hand.

I've got it. Yes.

You hold it between these two fingers.

And you squeeze it in your palm.

But you focus your attention on the left hand.

You can feel the piece there, its weight. Can't you?

And if you believe it yourself, they'll believe it too.

And then, simply, you go behind the ear.

Abracadabra!

What is... "abracadabra?

A magic word.

It creates an illusion.

A sense of grandeur.

Should we always say "abracadabra"?

No, no, it can be any word.

You could say "presto".

I prefer "abracadabra".

Did your father teach you this trick?

My father? No.

Say it like it's real, but it's not imaginary.

My father was satisfied.

in his work and always cheerful.

He was an unsuccessful man.

But you believe,

that you're destined for more.

You want to be known as a great man.

Yes.

And I'm your ticket.

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

and I'll teach something

may surprise my daughter,

when this trial is over.

You don't bring me together anymore.

I didn't want to be a nuisance.

You often meet him without me.

What are you doing, Doctor?

I'm trying to understand something.

Is it really still a reason?

Good night, Houvi.

How do you intend to defend yourself, Herman?

- You want to know something? - I mean it.

Are we... friends, Doctor?

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

But you're asking me

as a friend?

Yes.

Tomorrow, when I get the note,

I'll read the statement.

I will say

that I take full responsibility for my actions.

Therefore, I will not

take responsibility for the actions of others

of which I was unaware

and for which I was not an accomplice.

Which I did,

it 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 eyes of the world will be riveted on this hall.

Here we are.

It's all there.

The statement Göring is to read tomorrow.

Thank you.

Watch out!

Let's go.

Here they are!

My God!

All rise!

Judges.

The privilege of opening the first trial in history

for crimes against world peace

imposes a heavy responsibility on us.

The evils we seek to condemn and punish

are so premeditated,

and devastating that civilization has become.

cannot tolerate ignoring them,

because if they're repeated, we won't survive.

In the dock, a score of men with no moral compass.

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

terrorism and violence,

and the arrogance and cruelty of power.

Civilization cannot afford compromises,

ambiguity or hesitation

with the men in whom these forces still reside.

Wars are no longer local.

All modern wars end up going global.

And none of the great nations can remain on the sidelines.

But the ultimate step,

to avoid periodic wars

in the violated system of international law,

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

Let me be clear,

although this law mainly applies to German aggressors,

it must condemn the aggression of any other nation,

including those who sit in judgment.

We can't eliminate inner tyranny,

violence and aggression,

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

that when we oblige all men

to answer to the law.

Hermann Göring.

Defendants must plead guilty or not guilty to the charges brought against them.

They take turns approaching the microphone in the dock.

I'm Hermann Wilhelm Göring.

I stand before the court today

and the whole world,

and I swear to tell only the truth.

The court decided

that the accused have no right to testify.

They will be able to address the court before the verdict is delivered.

As Reichsmarschall of Germany,

You're not a Reichsmarschall here.

You are the prisoner Hermann Göring.

Are you pleading guilty or not guilty?

U.S.A 0389707

Emi!

Eda!

Emi!

What happened? What's happened? Where are they?

Where are they? Where are they?

They took them away! - Who did?

The Americans!

Emi!

Emi! Eda!

Emi! Emi Göring!

Yes ?

I need a favor.

I hope you're joking.

Thanks, 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?

Did Eda call you again?

Yes.

She's very talented.

He likes you.

Do you have his letters?

No.

Unfortunately, no letter.

Really?

Some other time.

And this is my new doctor.

We were talking about my family.

Of course I was. 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 the hell was that?

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

You crushed it in there.

Huh?

What's wrong with you? What's wrong with you?

Hey, stop! - Hey, stop!

My God, you're mental health specialists!

For God's sake!

Dr. Gilbert, would you like me to hold Dr. Kelley?

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

Film.

All rise!

Your Honor,

the prosecution wishes to present this video recording as evidence.

This film briefly explains

what the words "concentration camp" mean.

NAZI CONCENTRATION CAMPS

These were Germany's largest concentration camps and prisons.

and occupied Europe during the Nazi regime.

OHRDRUF CONCENTRATION CAMP

The Fourth Armored Division of General Patton's Third Army

liberated the camp in early April.

They see a pyre where bodies covered in lime are piled one on top of the 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,

brutally murdered by SS soldiers and amnestied German criminals

who worked as camp guards.

Prisoners deemed unfit for work were held at Nordhausen

in underground V-bomb production

and in other German factories and labor camps.

Among the corpses are people too weak to move.

The Mts medical battalions worked day and night for two days,

dressing wounds and administering medicines.

But for advanced cases of famine and tuberculosis,

there was often no remedy.

These survivors were evacuated to Allied hospitals for treatment.

I'm First Lieutenant Jack H. Taylor,

U.S. Navy officer from Hollywood, California.

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

I was taken prisoner on December 1.

I was taken to the Mauthausen concentration camp.

an extermination camp -

where we were starved, beaten

and killed.

Fortunately, it wasn't my turn yet.

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

Five or six.

By gas, by gunfire, by blows.

That is, by hitting them with sticks.

By exposure to the elements.

This meant standing naked in the snow in the middle of winter,

for 48 hours and cold water poured over them.

By starvation.

With dogs,

by pushing them off a 30-metre cliff.

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

BUCHENWALD CONCENTRATION CAMP

Prisoners' nationalities and numbers are tattooed on their bellies.

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 system

Inside are the furnaces that have given the crematorium its name.

a maximum elimination capacity of 400 bodies per 10-hour working day.

Dachau, near Munich,

one of the oldest Nazi camps.

Here's what the liberators found inside the building.

In neat rows hung the prisoners' clothes,

suffocated to death in the lethal gas chambers.

They had been led to believe that they had to undress,

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

BERGEN-BELSEN CONCENTRATION CAMP

Sanitary conditions were so terrible

that heavy equipment had to be brought in to speed up the clean-up.

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 that you didn't know?

Anyone can simulate cruelty.

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

What would you like me to say?

Maybe, 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?

At the touch 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 yourself on another country's territory?

There is a difference between the fact that we bombed war factories

and that civilians died as collateral damage,

and the fact that you've built 1,200 human slaughterhouses,

to exterminate an entire race!

And you know it!

What do you think war is?

Not what I saw today.

What do you think the Russians do with German POWs?

You're a free man, I'm a prisoner,

because you won and we lost.

But not because you're morally superior!

This trial will look like a farce in 15 years.

Great conquerors are not considered murderers.

Genghis Khan, Alexander the Great...

You're no Alexander the Great!

You're 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 miserable.

It will overshadow everything.

After spending time with me,

you'll write books, trying to relive it.

The only time of your life,

where you actually stood next to greatness.

You think you're big?

You think it's your heritage?

At least I'll have one.

You'll leave no trace in this world.

And I'm a whole chapter of history!

You are, at best, a paragraph.

They'll kill you.

You'll be hanged from the gallows,

until you pee your pants

and die.

Your wife will become a widow.

And your daughter, an orphan.

And it will be your own fault.

I know who you are.

And who is he?

It's better not to know.

Jackson will take him to court the day after tomorrow.

And it 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 any of this?

THE PRISON DOCTOR REVEALS ALL

Take a look at your private conversations with Hermann Göring

made the headlines.

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

I signed your transfer order this morning.

You'll be sent back to the United States, where you'll be relieved of your duties.

You've embarrassed me and this office for the last time.

I'm sorry, sir.

You deserve better.

Yes, I deserve it.

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 5pm.

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

Have you come to say goodbye?

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

Of course you can.

It's just a great show for the spectators.

So it doesn't matter what happens tomorrow,

If Göring has the upper hand over Jackson, so be it.

But I don't believe it.

You don't believe it either.

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

That's right.

I spent thousands of hours with him.

I've carried out hundreds of experiments.

You know, what makes him different from us?

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

It's true, so was my father.

Because this is where I was raised.

You're an American soldier.

Why did you leave?

What do you think?

You're Jewish.

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

My father was a patriot.

He fought for Germany in the First World War.

He loved this country.

But in the end, he understood that we had to leave.

How did you do it?

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 money for one ticket.

For my little sister, Margo.

She was barely 11.

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 in a tool factory.

I learned English by listening to baseball on the radio.

After Pearl Harbor,

I was the first to go to 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.

June 6, 1944,

on D-Day, I landed on Omaha beach.

Although four years earlier,

I left this 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 her family.

She's doing well.

She survived.

What about your parents?

The records show that my parents arrived at Auschwitz

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 a sort of puzzle they finally managed to solve.

Houvi, I'm so sorry.

I'll tell Streicher.

I'll tell him.

Just before I put the rope around his neck.

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

You say it doesn't matter what happens tomorrow.

It matters.

More than you know.

It means a lot to me.

For my family.

For the whole of Germany.

Göring must assume his responsibilities.

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

Doctor, please do something.

I can't do it.

I'm just a psychiatrist.

Want to know why it happened here?

Because people let it happen.

Because they didn't fight back until it was too late.

Have a safe trip home, Doctor.

Yes, sir, of course.

No.

I understand perfectly.

Thank you.

Son of a bitch.

Truman has just appointed Frederick Vinson to head the Supreme Court.

I didn't want this job.

Who would?

Bottoms up.

You're walking right into the trap.

Dr. Kelley, I understand you've been relieved of your duties.

By inviting Göring to testify, he gets everything he wants.

That's precisely why he turned himself in.

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

After what I read in the paper today,

I don't think I care what you think.

- You won't get it! Guards!

Not without help.

That's all I have on him.

Private documents, off-the-record conversations.

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

And it's all here at the CIA.

Why did you keep all this?

I intended to write a book.

To achieve something in my life.

We're doing fine.

Do you really think I can't reach it?

Honestly?

I don't know.

You know, I was about to become President of the Supreme Court.

Now I'll be lucky if I get my place back when I come back.

And I was discharged from the army six hours ago.

That's all we have left, sir.

We might as well get this war over with.

It's important to use...

He's a Reichsmarschall.

And he's never wrong.

He simply can't be wrong.

All the decisions that led us here must be right.

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 it.

Today is your day.

You're all set.

Sergeant, why is Dagas Kelis still here?

I have no idea, General.

Everyone at attention!

Judge Jackson,

Are you ready?

We call Herman Göring to the stand.

Do you have the slightest doubt that Adolf Hitler is dead?

So you understand that this makes you the only man alive

who can explain the true aims of the Nazi party

and the internal workings of its management?

I understand perfectly.

Your party, right from the start,

intended to overthrow the Weimar Republic?

That was our firm intention.

What the hell?

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

We decided it was no longer necessary.

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

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 renounced democracy, not

because they didn't want them, but because

democratic government has placed men there who are too weak.

Let's move on to war crimes.

Once in power, you estimated

that it was necessary to repress all opposition parties, right?

We decided we could no longer tolerate the opposition.

You also felt it was necessary to set up concentration camps immediately?

The camps were created as a means of fighting the communists.

and violence.

Vienna, two or three camps, something like that.

You also needed a certain group.

*Who executes orders and, if necessary, fights for you, right?

A certain group?

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

we had to have an organization that could do it.

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

than in any other country.

SA and 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 did the SS, at least not in my day.

After a certain point, I no longer had any influence on this issue.

Well, the SS was making arrests.

It was responsible for transporting people to the concentration camps.

Do you remember

when the SS began to act as the Nazi party's enforcer?

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

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

Give it a try.

Well, maybe when the police passed more into Himmler's hands,

expectations may have changed.

Of course, it is well known that some SS units

guarded the camps and later performed certain police functions.

And fulfilled 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 that the SS commander was the camp commandant,

then it would be logical to think

that they fulfilled all the functions of the camp.

Finish it.

So you wanted a strong Germany to...

...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 was not part of Germany,

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

No, not quite.

The second German-occupied territory

was Bohemia, then Moravia, then Slovakia.

Nor were they taken away from Germany by the Treaty of Versailles,

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

These parts of the Czech Republic

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

But first,

they were part of the German Reich

for centuries.

You still haven't answered my question.

I replied.

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

Can you answer "yes" or "no"?

Your time may not be as valuable as others'.

Your Honor, the Court is of the opinion that the witness must be authorized

to provide the explanations he deems correct.

I think the court knows that beyond the walls of this room..,

A huge social problem is posed by the resurgence of Nazism,

and that one of the objectives of the accused Göring

is to encourage and consolidate it

by propaganda means, using this ongoing trial.

Your Honour... This witness

and the accused on the bench

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

the possibility of being judged,

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

The decision stands, Your Honor.

Of course, I have to obey the court's decision,

but I would ask the witness to answer briefly.

Could you repeat the question?

Haven't they been removed from you?

in accordance with the Treaty of Versailles, right?

As well as the Sudetenland region.

These two territories would have become German territories

by virtue of the simple right of peoples to self-determination.

That's interesting, given that you've just testified

that the right of peoples to self-determination was the first thing you did away with.

2

Right from the start,

you considered the exclusion of Jews from German economic life

as a phase of the four-year plan

within your jurisdiction, isn't it?

Partly true... "Partly.

I'd like to briefly review

your public actions on the Jewish question.

First, did you promulgate the Nuremberg Laws?

Yes.

That was my role as Reichstag President.

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 right.

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

Later, on April 22, 1938, you announced sanctions

for the concealment of Jewish business activities on Reich territory.

Yes, for "concealment".

On April 26, 1938, you signed a decree

requiring all Jewish property in Germany and abroad to be registered.

If I signed it.

Then came the decree of November 12, 1938.

Aimed at extorting a billion Reichsmarks in ransom from the Jews.

Yes, but this...

And that all damage to Jewish property

during the riots of 1938, must be immediately repaid by the Jews themselves,

and that the insurance proceeds be transferred to the Reich.

There's a lot of detail here. Insurance benefits...

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

Himmler and Heydrich were given the task

to draw up plans for the Final Solution of the Jewish Question.

This is not true.

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 disputes over translation.

You signed this document, didn't you?

That's right.

If I'm wrong, please correct me.

Completing the task entrusted to you on January 24, 1939

and the resolution of the Jewish problem,

with the most favorable result possible,

encouraging emigration and evacuation,

With this document, you are responsible for making all the necessary preparations.

and financial resources needed to implement the project.

of the Final Solution of the Jewish Question.

He cornered it.

So far, so good?

No, your translation is not correct.

Then please provide us with your translation.

In addition to the task assigned to you.

By decree of January 24, 1939,

to resolve the Jewish question through emigration and evacuation,

taking into account existing conditions

and in the most favourable manner possible, I am entrusting you

make all the necessary preparations

organizational, material and financial.

There's also

this sentence:

"For a finished solution..."

No, "final solution".

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

"Completed and complete"?

Yes, finished and complete.

Did you want the SS commander to implement a complete solution?

Yes, but I'd like to explain something.

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,

which is why I have asked him to speed up the resolution of the Jewish emigration issue.

"Emigration? Do you agree that this letter was about emigration?

It's right there in the first line.

Preparations... for emigration.

That's just the first sentence.

The letter continues.

My desire is to...

finding a complete solution to the Jewish problem

and eliminate its financial influence

by sending or evacuating them from Germany.

That's what it says in the document you presented to me.

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

May I ask, may the witness withdraw?

I'd like to ask you a question.

Today, only the US Attorney is questioning the witness.

The United States is always happy to hear

our esteemed colleague from Great Britain.

Just a few simple questions, Your Honor.

This 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 think it was.

But in 1942, you were still Reichsmarschall of Germany,

Hitler's right-hand man, right?

Yes, I was Reichsmarschall.

And you say you were completely unaware

that three million Jews were murdered in 1942?

I was not aware of this.

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 right.

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

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

In all, around six million Jews,

as well as Soviet and Polish citizens,

people of Roma origin,

artists, scientists,

writers, journalists, photographers and filmmakers,

people who didn't die in combat,

not because of enemy fire,

but exterminated by the German state,

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

Reichsmarschall,

and you say you didn't know about it.

At least tell me this:

Knowing what we know now,

Knowing what happened to six million Jews, I have to ask:

Would you still follow Führer Adolf Hitler?

Yes,

I'd follow him.

Order! Order! Order!

Heil Hitler!

No more questions?

I think it's an excellent place

to finish today's work.

You put up a good fight.

Really good.

I stood my ground. You did.

You were right.

I couldn't influence him.

Not without help.

"Göring cannot oppose the Führer."

Invaluable information, Doctor.

What's next?

If Göring falls, they all will.

We'll be fine.

Here we are.

Are you leaving?

I still have something to do.

Doctor.

You helped them, didn't you?

Yes.

I'm off.

Are you leaving?

I'm going home.

Farewell.

And now, what are we going to do, Doctor?

Shake hands?

I know, we've been friends, Douglas...

For a while.

Take care, Hermann.

After so many years...

I wonder what you'll say about us.

Will you at least admit 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've become the most important man

of the Nazi regime.

Your guilt is unique in its magnitude.

There's no excuse in the archives.

The International Military Tribunal condemns you

to the death penalty by hanging.

Rudolf Hess,

you are found guilty on all four counts.

The executions are scheduled for midnight tonight.

To maintain discipline,

prisoners will not be informed until 11.45pm,

when they wake up in their cells

and offered the last rites.

20h00.

Eight hand-picked journalists will arrive at the prison.

2 French, 2 British, 2 Americans and 2 Russians.

The lights go out at 9:30pm.

After a final superficial examination by the doctor.

To the prisoner who asks for a sleeping pill,

we'll give a placebo with baking powder.

At 10pm, we'll lead the press representatives to the foot of the gallows,

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

Abracadabra.

The prisoners will be brought in one by one

and they'll have a chance to say a last word.

After that, they...

Excuse me.

What's the matter? Göring. General.

Crap.

No, no, no, no. No. No !

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

He's dead, sir. Cyanide.

Jesus Christ!

You piece of garbage!

Excuse me, General, but we need to make a decision.

We can cancel tonight's executions or continue.

Let's just get on with it.

General, Streicher refuses to get dressed.

Let him go. Let go of him!

Julius.

You were a friend.

Come on.

Let's do it together.

Come on.

Give me his shirt.

Ask him what his name is.

You know my name.

Any last words?

Purim, 1946!

Crap.

Bastard.

GÖRING COMMITTED SUICIDE

He tricks the gallows with poison

He got away with it.

Honestly, Dr. Kelly,

some of your book's conclusions seem completely implausible.

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

They are not unique.

Today, in every country in the world, there are people like 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'm 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 the next time it happens,

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

you're completely crazy.

We'll return to the discussion with participants after a break.

Yes...

I won't 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 created in Nuremberg

has become the basis for all 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.

He was becoming 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's already done.
