What will be shown is based on testimonies from survivors.
And those who have not experienced it.
Adolf Hitler is dead.
The Nazi high command is distraught.
Worldwide, 70 million people died.
More than in any other conflict in human history.
Last day of the war in Europe.
Hurry up ! Hurry up !
Make way! Get out of the way!
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 G�ring.
What ?
Hitler's second.
Gentlemen.
I officially surrender.
My luggage is in the car.
What does he say?
He asks us to take his luggage.
Teis�jas D�eksonas?
It depends on the serious reason you have for knocking on my door at three in the morning.
It depends on the serious reason you have for knocking on my door at three in the morning.
They captured Hermann G�ring alive.
Or ? In Austria.
What are they going to do with it?
That's the real question. Can I come in?
No. But it's raining.
I see. Are they going to shoot him?
I don't know.
Finally, they intended to shoot him.
Yes, Mr. Justice.
Churchill and Roosevelt signed a decree
the one you opposed.
I am a judge of the Supreme Court.
I am not inclined to approve of an execution without trial.
This is precisely what I want to talk about.
It's impossible.
You keep saying it. Because it's impossible.
At least give me a 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 talk about judging him
according to a legal system that does not exist,
not yet described by case law.
And if you don't follow everything I say -
these are already four reasons why you should not do it.
I'll get you a drink.
I don't want to drink.
So I'm going to get another one for myself and, just in case, one for you.
Who do you plan to judge?
German leaders?
The soldiers?
And the judges who applied the racial codes?
Obviously we'll have to sort this out.
And when you have decided who to judge, what will you accuse them of?
For conspiring to start a global war of aggression.
You want the United States to come forward with an accusation like that?
Yes.
Against Germany,
A country that has never attacked us.
Let's say it's possible, Robert.
Do you want to know how I would go about 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.
You're talking about a court.
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.
MOVE 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 packet.
Memorize it and put it back in the packet.
Now mix them.
And now ?
My card was the three of spades.
You can hardly call it a trick. - Turn over the top card.
Who are you ?
Psychiatrist.
What are you doing in Mondorf?
I would like to know that too.
Now even psychiatrists are sent on secret missions?
I'm sure I'm the first.
How did you do... with the doors?
I didn't do anything.
You are a good magician.
Doctor Kelis? 2FS7
Sergeant Howie Trieste, at your service.
I'll take you to the commander's office.
�Tigers�? Yes, sir.
Maybe we'll meet again.
PoSimts!
Who is it ?
She. 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 it because you don't know,
or you can't say it because someone told you not to say it.
I can't tell you.
Don't be angry, doctor. I'm just your translator.
Translator for whom?
You will see.
That you are a �brilliant head specialist�.
I assume you have some questions for me.
Several. So let's get started.
You are in a secret military prison.
The last senior Nazi leaders are detained here.
The governments of the United States, France,
of Great Britain and the United States of America
are now deciding whether to charge these men for their crimes.
During the trial, you will supervise
and ensure the mental health of prisoners.
Suicide will be the main concern for most prisoners.
Hitler, Goebbels and Himmler have already committed suicide.
We cannot afford further losses.
Goebbels and Himmler did it thanks to her.
A hidden cyanide capsule.
You will need to watch Goering very closely.
Goering?
Do you mean Hermann Goering?
Is Hermann Goering here?
Sergeant, is it possible
that the major suffered a violent blow to the head when he came to my office?
Not to my knowledge, sir. I'm sorry.
There's just a lot of information.
Do it as quickly as possible.
Well received, sir.
Goering surrendered while traveling with his family.
He had more than a million dollars in German currency and jewelry.
And a lot of it.
We sent it to the United States for classification.
Paracodeine.
A powerful painkiller. He likes her very much.
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 per day?
Sergeant? Forty, sir.
We can say this without risk.
That the Reichsmarshall has a drug problem.
Where is his family now?
They were released and that is none of your business.
Your only job is to evaluate Goering and the others.
That's all.
Sir, I am a good doctor, but
the entire Nazi leadership
might be a bit out of my skill set.
Believe me, Major, it wasn't my idea.
Free.
He's not very good at motivating, is he?
The commander is not really distinguished by his emotionality, sir.
- I want to meet him. Who ?
Goering. Immediately. - I'm sorry, sir,
Wouldn't you like to settle down first?
I want to know who I'll be dealing with.
Well, don't worry too much.
No way. Tell me about him!
Reichsmarshal Hermann G�ring, President of the Reichstag,
Minister of Aviation, Commander-in-Chief of the Luftwaffe,
Minister of the Economy, creator of the Gestapo, the secret police...
He was designated as Hitler's successor in 1939
and is the highest-ranking German officer in history.
Of course...
Now I'm a little worried.
No problem, everything will be fine.
Reichsmarshal.
Hello, Mr Triest.
Reichsmarshal G�ring, I am Doctor Douglas Kelley.
He says... Wonderful! A doctor!
Indeed. Can I take your pulse?
He asks for his tablet.
He wants you to bring it to him.
I understand you have had heart problems.
I have had a few small heart attacks and these tablets help.
Could you unbutton your shirt?
Breathing is rapid and shallow.
Toneversk
The tablets also help with pain, don't they?
Yes yes.
It is said that he was injured during the First World War.
He has a bullet in his right buttock.
He was injured in the groin during the Munich Putsch in 1923.
You were shot multiple times, sir.
Job risks.
If you really want to take care of your heart,
the best way is to lose weight.
I assure you, you see the best physical constitution in all of Germany.
Ask my wife.
I'm sure you're right, sir,
but the guards call you Big.
I am convinced of it,
it would be difficult for weaker people to lose that much weight.
But you have the strength and the discipline,
what others lack, right?
You see, he is different.
We will be good friends.
I am convinced of it.
I hope.
Good day.
Extremely sure of himself.
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 last three months,
where I muttered under my breath, he understood every word.
Posimis
Are you going to tell him, Kadzina?
No.
He will tell me himself. When he's ready.
-And when will it be ready? When he decides I pose no threat.
I want to meet the others. Who is next?
Doctor Robert Ley.
The head of the German Labor Front.
One of Hitler's first disciples.
He wrote a book in which he praised the F�hrer so much,
that Hitler, very embarrassed, ordered the destruction of the entire print run.
Ley, who headed the Nazi work program,
was arrested in Goering's pajamas. It called itself the �Investigation of High-ranking Nazi Prisoners.�

I'm not like the others here. Power-hungry men locked up.
I can smell a Jew, period.
Grand Admiral Karl D�nitz.
Commander of the German Navy.
The architect of the submarine attacks that crippled the British navy.
Humanity means weakness.
The new commander said,
D�nitz tolerated the killing of prisoners on the high seas.
A fanatical Nazi supporter. D�nitz arrested...

I have been detained for 76 days.
I have not yet been officially arrested or charged with a specific crime,
which constitutes a direct violation of the Geneva Convention.
Blame me or free me.
Julius Streicher. Director of Hitler's propaganda.
Director of Hitler's propaganda.
Founder of the national anti-Semitic newspaper
�Der St�rmer�.
Streicher!
Nicknamed the high priest of anti-Semitism
and the Beast of Franconia, he led the boycott of the Jews.
auynbergagelezineranka
He wants to know if you are Jewish.
But you practice a Jewish profession.
What are you fighting for, doctor?
G�ring is the key.
The leader of the nation�s �exiles.� It unites them all.
He began a strict diet and exercise regime.
He stopped taking pills completely.
As if he was preparing for something.
If someone wrote 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 a.m.? - Yes, take a coat.
All right.
We have 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 ? Do you speak German well, doctor?
No way. 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?
Make sure these guys...
...confide in you.
Of course.
How ?
Everyone wants to be listened to, it's a natural instinct.
I will be interested in them.
I'm going to make them trust me.
They will open.
It looks so simple.
What if we could analyze evil?
/What distinguishes these men from all the others?
What allowed them to commit these crimes?
They almost took over the world.
Have you heard of Jewish labor camps?
It is rumored that these were not just work camps.
I heard.
So how do we become like this?
Maybe we really have the chance to find out.
To know how Germans are different.
Different?
From us.
A man who wrote a book about it could make a lot of money.
You know, for a moment I thought you were noble.
Do you have to be noble?
Perfect.
If we could define evil psychologically,
we could ensure that something like this never happens again.
What's going on? Hermann G�ring no longer breathes.
Traukities! - Houvi!
The airways are clear. It's good, right?
- No, he's having a heart attack. - What ?
- Where is the prison doctor? - He's coming.
Okay, tell him to hurry up.
Houvi, I need an aspirin.
Good old aspirin. Quickly ! - I'm going!
Hey, hey, hey.
Your heart is still beating, which means you are alive.
And we're going to keep it that way.
You need to calm down, okay?
Breathe with me.
We inhale and exhale.
I am here. Look at me. I am here.
I won't let you die, understand?
We inhale and exhale.
So. Is this your wife?
She's there, she's there, she's there.
Breathe with me.
The doctor arrives. Aspirin.
Give me some, okay?
Thanks, Houvi.
The best remedy for the heart -
It's good old aspirin. Yes.
Trust me.
Breathe, we inhale and we exhale.
Chew, chew.
It's already better.
The pulse is slower.
Yes.
You know what? You are alive.
Alive.
What do you say about it?
THANKS.
Take him to the infirmary. Come on.
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.
Logic.
In addition, the court gives them the opportunity
to tell their story to the world.
What are we afraid to hear 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...
What if they deserve compassion?
And if all this only offers them a platform
for anti-Semitism around the world?
Do you want to be responsible for it?
You want to know if I have any problems
to kill a few Nazis without trial?
Of course I do.
But anyway, it doesn't matter.
The Russians will not agree.
What ?
The Russians accepted.
Really ?
Truman personally called Stalin.
They are considering Nikitchenko's candidacy for the post of 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 bring you greetings from General Eisenhower,
who wants you to know that he does not approve of hangings without trial.
Well, that's already progress.
He also hopes that the trial will not last too long,
so we can hang them.
Sit down.
I have read a lot about you, sir.
It is said that you will be the next president of the Supreme Court.
The president personally promised you the job.
And he was sworn to secrecy,
so maybe it's better not to tell everyone about it,
who came to the office, okay?
Well, everyone in my office says,
that you will certainly not be able to organize this trial.
And what do you think?
I like underdogs.
Hello, Julius.
I will show you a series of cards with ink stains,
and you will tell me what you see on each of them.
Maybe this will reveal something about your character,
your intelligence or creativity;
Everything you say here will remain between us.
Mr. Doctor.
Yes.
If it helps, I can speak to you in English.
Only if it makes you comfortable.
Shall we start?
A butterfly.
A witch.
A torpedo attack.
Someone spilled something.
I see 10,000 horsepower.
I see a ride of Valkyries.
A vagina.
The vagina of a Jewish woman.
Here it's blood.
Whose blood?
Or ink.
You can say a lot of things 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 in the background, which is why he needs Congress.
Neither of them will do it without the other.
So we need something more... persuasive. Come on, let's see.
Who could be more persuasive than the president?
Jesus Christ.
Exact.
Are you Catholic? Now, yes.
The Holy Father will receive you now.
You want to bring these men to justice by sacrificing their lives,
and you come to ask the blessing of the Church on this matter.
Your support would greatly help 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, Monsignor.
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 the laws of God.
I don't believe that.
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 bend our own laws?
I'm sorry,
but the Catholic Church cannot support you in this matter.
But you could support them in 1933.
Sorry?
You personally signed the concordat with Hitler.
It was completely different.
You lived in Munich, you were nuncio in the German Empire.
The Catholic Church was the first world power to recognize the F�hrer State.
You gave credibility to the Nazis.
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 justify what they did?
Sir, people will remember
of what you did in 1933.
And what you will do now,
they will tell it to their children.
Does the Catholic Church Support the Nazis
or is she against them?
Did you just blackmail the Pope?
I don't want to talk about it.
Some news arrived this evening.
There will be a trial.
A trial?
Alright.
This is how it should be.
These cards you showed me,
what did they say about me?
Honestly ? That you are very intelligent.
And I could have told you that myself.
Also that you are narcissistic,
prone to a world of expansive and aggressive fantasies,
having strong ambition and desire
to conquer the world according to your own model of thinking.
Does this surprise you?
No.
So the cards haven't taught you anything.
Ponas Triestas says you know a trick.
I'm sorry.
Yes.
Well, if it doesn't cause too much trouble...
We don't have any entertainment here.
Why not ?
Here is an average, ordinary silver dollar.
Ta-da!
Alright.
One day I'll show you a trick.
Which ?
Escape the executioner's rope.
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 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 resources?
The Nazis fought here for the last time when the city was taken.
And it will be again.
Of all the beautiful cities of this conquered land...
You want to bring them to justice...
In these bombed ruins?
You will be David Maxwell Fyfe, British Deputy Prosecutor.
First, we can control space.
Second, there is a prison nearby, which can accommodate up to 1200 inmates.
We only need space for 22 people.
Sorry, 22, sir?
That's the number of men we're charging 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 laughing stock of the world,
defeated by the same men we imprisoned.
It'll be fun.
My friends in Washington say opinion has shifted against you.
No.
It is said that after Stone leaves, you will not get the position of chief justice.
Who will Truman choose? Vinson? He's too political.
Yes, but he is there.
This all became a side effect, Robert.
And it hasn't even started yet.
It is said that you prepare all the documents yourself,
refusing help from other lawyers.
Because it has to be done correctly.
It will. But you won't be able to do it alone.
Everything will be fine once the trial starts.
You say that the trial of senior Nazi leaders,
based on untested 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 must be impeccable.
No pressure.
Another one.
Cells made of stone.
Three meters by four.
Beds attached to the wall.
Mattresses filled with straw, no springs.
Cardboard tables that won't support the weight of a man.
Chairs cannot be placed against the wall.
And every evening, at sunset, they will be out.
When you are in bed,
your head and hands should be visible above the blanket at all times.
You will have no belt, no laces.
No toilet seat; nothing,
which you can use as a weapon to take your life.
Welcome to Nuremberg.
So here is
your cell.
Does that suit you?
German construction.
How could it not be suitable?
They're going to serve us the charges soon, aren't they?
Are you looking forward to this?
I believe so.
I will 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 outsmart me,
but he will not succeed.
You have great confidence in yourself.
Doctor...
No one has ever defeated me.
There are books that list the names of everyone who has tried.
But you're sitting here.
In a cell built by the Germans.
Do you think I am more disadvantaged because I am in prison?
I remind you: I surrendered.
This is precisely where I want to be.
G�ring remains a mystery to me.
The closer we get to the accusations, the more confident he becomes.
We have to find a way to approach him.
How to do it?
We will ask him for help.
What help?
Rudolf Hess.
Is he coming here?
Rudolf Hess, deputy to the F�hrer.
Third in order after Hitler and G�ring.
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.
On 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.
Arrived on a peace mission and wishing to speak
to Douglas Douglas-Hamilton, 14th Duke of Hamilton,
whom he met at the Berlin Olympics in 1936.
After some obstacles, Hess was allowed to meet someone.
There he announced his intention to meet King George VI,
to pardon Winston Churchill,
and negotiate a peace with Great Britain,
so that the two countries 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 stated that his previous amnesia was feigned.
Then he changed his mind and said
that I wanted to discredit my old friend.
What benefit would I get from it?
And what do you want?
My wife
and my daughter.
Since I surrendered, no one has been able to find them.
I need you to find them, doctor.
And that you transmit these...
...letters.
We'll talk to Hess first,
then to your family.
PRISONER OF WAR
How's that?
This man is about to take over the whole world,
and now you want us to serve as his messengers? Doctor!
I'm closer to him than anyone has ever been,
and meeting his family will only give me even 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 arrived at the prison and saw me,
what did he do?
He greeted me.
Alright.
It's stupid.
Ah, stupid.
I knew you would help me.
Yes, because I'm stupid.
How did you find them?
Rumor had it that they were in Veldenstein.
A cigarette?
I've never seen you smoke.
I don't smoke, I stopped.
My parents couldn't stand it.
But you still have it.
A way to curry favor with officers.
I told myself I would light one again when the war was over.
Howie, the war is over.
Not for long.
French ?
Mrs G�ring?
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?� Everything is fine.
He's fine.
Were you the one playing?
It's very beautiful.
He said... a friend of your father's.
Eda...
..."How's Dad?"
Alright.
�Is he brave?�
Very courageous.
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.
Come back.
20388707 Doctor, is everything okay?
What the fuck?
What is happening?
We received a message a few hours ago.
We are making accusations.
Where were you?
Hermann G�ring?
I, Reichsmarschall Hermann G�ring.
Hermann Wilhelm G�ring,
The United States of America, the French Republic,
The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland
and the USSR present these four charges to you.
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 inhumane acts.
Here is a copy of your indictment. Do you have any questions?
Good day.
Who is next?
Streicher.
Do you have any questions?
What did he say?
That he wants a Jewish lawyer.
I will not be judged.
You will be, Doctor L�jau.
I've never killed anyone.
Guards!
Everything is fine, everything is fine.
Don't touch me.
Robert. - Don't touch me!
Hold it! Come on, hold it! - Come on !
You can't treat me like a simple criminal!
Shoot me! Shoot me!
Shoot me!
Difficult day?
The girl on the train
Magician.
How is the secret mission going?
Unforeseen obstacles appeared.
It shows.
What are you doing here?
I came with the press.
Today, Hermann G�ring and other Nazis are indicted.
This is not possible!
Get ready.
This city will soon become... "The Greatest Show on Earth".
From your wife.
Have you seen her?
Date: Nuremberg!
As horrific rumors continue to circulate about the true purpose of Nazi labor camps,
legal teams are preparing for what promises to be
the trial of the century.
Through a tunnel, the Nazis will be led to the courtroom,
which is currently under reconstruction.
The lighting will be so intense
that sunglasses will be distributed to visitors to the trial.
Hermann G�ring and his Hitler-worshipping friends
should meet our guys in a week.
Will justice triumph? Or will the fascists remain free?
This journalist strongly hopes
that the allies will not encounter any problems.
We have a problem.
Operation �Weser�bung�: Germany's 1940 invasion of Denmark and Norway.
A classic example of aggressive warfare.
The Nazis arrive in tanks and occupy a neutral country.
Except they claim the invasion was a pre-emptive strike.
A preemptive strike against whom?
The British plan to invade Norway.
It's ridiculous. Absolutely.
I completely agree.
What worries me is that you are in this room.
Well, besides being ridiculous, it's also true.
The idea was to use the country as a stopping point to hold back the Nazis.
We cannot hold the Nazis responsible for planning a war of aggression,
if you plan such aggressive wars 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. For now. - Then everything is fine.
Maybe.
But this raises a bigger problem.
We need to know what the Nazi defense strategy is.
How exactly do you propose to do this?
Doctor Kelly, you will meet a very important person this evening.
This could be an opportunity to finally be useful.
Impressive, isn't it?
Hitler built it as the largest stadium on the planet.
You are Judge Jackson.
And you are a psychiatrist.
This is 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.
Do you know them?
The Nuremberg Laws Defined Jews
like anyone with three or four Jewish grandparents.
And it doesn't matter whether you practice 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.
The �defilement of the race�.
According to these laws, Jews were not allowed to use public hospitals
and those over 14 could no longer go to school.
Libraries, parks and beaches were closed to Jews.
Jewish names on war memorials
were erased.
All this was 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 these good 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 have already done this, doctor.
We have 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 ask me to break my oath.
Why not just shoot them down 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,
that in less than two decades,
from a nation on its knees, they have become almost conquerors of the world.
We have to do things right, otherwise,
in 15 years, they will come back even stronger,
and I don't know if we can defeat them a third time.
If we just shoot these men, they will become martyrs.
And I can't allow them to do that.
There will be no statues of them.
No hymns to their glory.
I will seat Hermann G�ring on the witness stand
and force him to tell the world what he has done;
so that this never happens again.
Did you bring me here because of G�ring?
No.
I brought you here
to show you that before you start shooting bullets,
before sacrificing tens of millions of men,
it all started with words.
This war will end in a courtroom.
It will end with G�ring.
He is now the face of the Nazis.
If he falls, they will all fall.
But to do this,
I have to be ready to face it.
Will you help me?
Let's talk about Hitler.
It's strange 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 very good soldier, but loved and respected.
It made us feel German again.
How ?
Well, the war ended in Germany's defeat.
And here comes a man who says:
We can regain our past glory.
Would you not follow such a man?
It depends on what else he would like to do.
The first time I saw Hitler speak,
it was in 1922.
On the second floor above a cafe.
About 30 people.
It was a period 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 are threatened, we need weapons.
Let's arm ourselves! Down with the Treaty of Versailles!
So that night I became a National Socialist.
Because of a single 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 that could focus their emotions.
Something else to blame.
Which camps?
These were supposed to be work camps
for our political opponents, nothing more.
And you agreed with that?
Work camps? Yes.
Do you believe that the Japanese that the Americans interned after Pearl Harbor
were not forced to work? Of course it is.
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 is a terrible shame for the great German Reich.
Did you tell your lawyer that?
Douglas, we cannot oppose the F�hrer.
Even if it could help?
These aren't things people need to know, doctor.
I'm only telling you.
He could be understanding.
It's going to get you in trouble.
He says he honestly thought they were just labor camps.
Himmler ran the camps, didn't he?
He was the head of the SS.
G�ring led the Luftwaffe.
Does the head of the US 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 will do what you asked. - No !
- You apologize for him. - Gentlemen, please.
- It's not me who defends the Nazis. - Do you think I'm defending him?
I'm analyzing it, you provincial idiot.
G�ring, above all, is a narcissist.
He only cares about strengthening Germany and becoming its leader.
The Jews don't interest him.
And he doesn't care if they die.
And he doesn't care if they don't die.
Hermann G�ring only cares about Hermann G�ring.
Can such a man be
dedicated to the extermination of an entire race?
Dr. Kelley, I very much appreciate your clarification on the matter,
but I must admit that it is very difficult
to believe it.
If you want to go into this trial with preconceived ideas, fine.
But it will swallow you whole.
I would like to apologize for my previous lapse.
I feel much better.
Perfect, Doctor Ley.
How are you ? You seem preoccupied.
Everything is fine.
Don't worry,
this will all end soon.
Ley's mood improved markedly.
He said he had started preparing his defense.
I feel like he started to communicate.
Shit.
Hurry up ! Get moving!
Doctor! Faster!
My God !
He tore the edge of the towel into a rope.
He stuffed underwear in his mouth so he wouldn't scream
and then he just leaned forward.
Apparently with great determination.
Just to be sure?
He told me he felt better.
"Better" ?
You were supposed to make sure they stayed alive.
R. LEJUS
I called in another doctor.
It has been determined that a second opinion is necessary for some of your patients.
Doctor Gilbert is arriving this afternoon.
You will instruct him.
What do you think about suicide?
It is the last refuge of cowards.
Or the last act of a desperate man.
Of course, there are always exceptions.
You are in trouble.
Why do you say that?
New doctor, new tests.
With the death of L�jus, they no longer trust you.
You are wrong.
Douglas,
when we are in power,
we are always hunted.
You have to be careful.
Why should I distrust my allies?
It's not because someone is your ally,
that means she's on your side.
My father was a diplomat, didn�t I tell you that?
No.
Well.
He was posted to Africa.
It was there that 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 made my whole family move in with him.
Can you imagine?
Living in such a castle was a true childhood dream.
I ran down the halls imagining I was a knight,
I looked down from the battlements,
by imagining armies rushing to attack.
Uncle Hermann lived in the biggest
and the most beautiful room on the top floor.
At the end of the hallway was my mother's bedroom, 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 put my father downstairs.
So rich that, when he wanted,
he could go to the room at the end of the hall
and enjoy my mother.
It's not because a man is your ally
that he is on your side.
Does Hermann G�ring seem to you to have a �fertile imagination�?
I don't think that's the case, tests have shown that.
Well, that's why you need a second opinion.
Which brings us to Rudolf Hess.
I'm inclined to think his amnesia is real.
Are you talking about the part where he forgets he's a Nazi?
Listen, Doctor 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 with me.
We are both here for the same reason.
Two books on the Nazi high command...
It will have an impact on the market.
Let's write one together.
Good luck with the tests.
Daktare.
Was she surprised?
Well, pretty stunned.
Teach me this trick.
A coin behind the ear? Yes yes.
Teach me this trick. That I could 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 you say:
Hey, everyone! Here is a simple silver dollar.
Then you put it in the other hand.
You focus their attention.
But in reality, he is here.
You keep it in your right hand.
I have it. Yes.
You hold it between these two fingers.
And you squeeze it in your palm.
But you focus attention on the left hand.
You feel the piece there, its weight. Isn't it?
And if you believe it yourself, they will believe it too.
And then, simply, you go 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.
We can say "presto".
I prefer "abracadabra".
Did your father teach you this trick?
My father? No.
Saying it like it's real, but it's not imaginary.
My father was satisfied.
in his work and always happy.
He was a man without any success.
But you believe,
that you are meant for more.
You want to be known as a great man.
Yes.
And I'm your ticket.
I'm going to America like a great Nazi scientist,
and I will teach something, which
can surprise my daughter,
when this trial is over.
You don't bring me together anymore.
I didn't want to be disruptive like that.
Often you meet him without me.
What are you doing, doctor?
I'm trying to understand something.
Is this really still a reason?
Good night, Houvi.
How do you plan to defend yourself, Herman?
- Do you want to know? - I'm serious.
Are we... friends, doctor?
I think this word is a little too simple for what we are.
But you ask me
as a friend?
Yes.
Tomorrow when I get the word,
I will read the statement.
I will say
that I take full responsibility for my actions.
Therefore, I will give up
to take responsibility for the actions of others
which I was not aware of
and for which I was not complicit.
What 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 whole world will have their eyes glued to this room.
So.
It's all there.
The declaration that G�ring is to read tomorrow.
THANKS.
Attention !
Let's go.
Here they are!
My God !
Everyone stand up!
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,
malicious and devastating that civilization
cannot tolerate ignoring them,
because if they repeat themselves, we will not survive.
In the dock, around twenty men with no morals.
We will demonstrate that they are the living embodiments of racial hatred,
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 great nations can stay away.
But the final 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 mainly applied 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,
that those in power use against the rights of their own people,
that when we oblige all men
to answer to the law.
Hermann G�ring.
Defendants must plead guilty or not guilty to the charges against them.
They will take turns approaching the microphone in front of the dock.
I am Hermann Wilhelm G�ring.
I stand in court today
and the whole world,
and I swear to only tell the truth.
The court decided
that the accused do not have the right to testify.
They will be able to address the court before the verdict is pronounced.
As Reichsmarschall of Germany,
You are not a Reichsmarschall here.
You are the prisoner Hermann G�ring.
Are you pleading guilty or not guilty?
U.S.A 0389707
Emi!
Eda!
Emi!
What happened? What happened? Where are they?
What ? Where are they?
They took them away! - Who ?
The Americans!
Emi!
Emi! Eda!
Emi! Emi G�ring!
Yes ?
I need a favor.
Are you kidding me.
Thanks, I'll need it.
They arrested Emi G�ring
for alleged complicity in art thefts.
The child was entrusted to nuns. All communication is prohibited.
She is a woman and a child.
Yes.
Sir, you could make an effort.
It's not up to me to decide!
It was nothing.
By the way,
how did you know where she was hiding?
Did Eda call you again?
Yes.
She is very talented.
He likes you.
Do you have his letters?
No.
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?
Sincerity towards the patient, which you should also try from time to time.
You crushed it in there.
Eh ?
What's wrong with you? What's wrong?
Hey, stop! - Stop!
My God, you are mental health specialists!
For the love of God!
Doctor Gilbert, do you want me to hold Doctor Kelley?
No, sergeant. So 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 occupied Europe during the Nazi regime.
OHRDRUF CONCENTRATION CAMP
The Fourth 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 died there,
brutally murdered by SS soldiers and amnestied German criminals
who worked as camp guards.
Prisoners deemed unfit for work were held in Nordhausen
in the underground production of V bombs
and in other German factories and labor camps.
Among the corpses, there are people too weak to move.
Mts medical battalions worked day and night for two days,
dressing wounds and administering medications.
But for advanced cases of starvation and tuberculosis,
there was often no cure.
These survivors are evacuated to allied hospitals for treatment.
I'm First Lieutenant Jack H. Taylor,
United States naval officer from Hollywood, California.
Believe it or not, this is the first time I've ever been in a film.
I was taken prisoner on December 1st.
I was taken to the Mauthausen concentration camp -
an extermination camp -
where we were starving, beaten
and killed.
Fortunately, my turn hadn't come yet.
There were... - In how many ways did they execute people?
Five or six.
By gas, by shooting, by blows.
That is, by hitting them with sticks.
By exposure to the elements.
This means that they had to stand naked in the snow, in the middle of winter,
for 48 hours and had cold water poured over them.
By starvation.
With dogs,
by pushing them off a 30 meter cliff.
All this is true, has been seen and is now recorded.
BUCHENWALD CONCENTRATION CAMP
The 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 ovens which gave the crematorium
a maximum disposal capacity of 400 bodies per 10 hour work day.
Dachau, near Munich,
one of the oldest Nazi camps.
Here's what the liberators found inside the building.
In orderly rows hung the prisoners' clothes,
suffocated to death in the deadly gas chambers.
They were made to believe that they had to undress,
under the guise of 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 cleanup work.
It was Bergen-Belsen.
How is this possible?
Tai, I saw you.
How is this possible?
Himmler.
Himmler was not 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 fake. Is this your defense?
What would you like me to say?
Maybe, for once, the truth.
For what ?
So you can run and tell Jackson about this?
My friend,
your hypocrisy is astonishing.
My hypocrisy?
Do you think American bullets and bombs don't kill people?
With the push of a button you kill 150,000 Japanese,
and you dare to try me for war crimes?
We had every right to defend ourselves.
Defend yourself on the territory of another country?
There is 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 aim 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 with 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.
It will overshadow everything.
After spending time with me,
you'll write books, trying to relive that.
The only moment of your life,
where you truly stood next to greatness.
Do you think you're tall?
Do you think this is your heritage?
At least I'll have one.
You will leave no trace in this world.
And I am a whole chapter of history!
You are, at best, a paragraph.
They will kill you.
You will be hanged on the gallows,
until you piss yourself
and you 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 G�ring is ready for him.
He was ready for all of us.
Why didn't you tell me all this?
PRISON DOCTOR REVEALS EVERYTHING
Look at your private conversations with Hermann G�ring
made headlines.
Sir, I... Your work here is done.
I signed your transfer order this morning.
You will be returned to the United States, where you will be discharged from duty.
You have shamed me and this office for the last time.
I'm sorry, Colonel.
You deserve better.
Yes, I deserve it.
By the way, we are freeing G�ring's wife and daughter.
You were right: we can do better.
Thank you, sir.
Your train leaves at 5 p.m.
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 have a chance?
Of course.
It�s just a big spectacle for the spectators.
So no matter what happens tomorrow,
If G�ring 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 in the world.
It's true.
I spent thousands of hours with him.
I have performed 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 am German.
I grew up in Munich.
You said you grew up in Detroit and your mother spoke German.
That's right, my father too.
Because this is where I was raised.
You are an American soldier.
Why did you leave?
What do you think?
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 in World War I.
He loved this country.
But eventually he understood that we had to leave.
How did you do it?
The problem was getting travel visas.
No other country wanted to 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 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 appeared again.
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 recruitment office to join the army.
Do 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,
On the big day, I landed on Omaha beach.
Although four years ago,
I left this country in the middle of the night, scared and alone.
I came back with a fucking army.
I found Margo.
She is in Switzerland.
She is sixteen now and lives with family.
She's fine.
She survived.
And your parents?
Records indicate 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 some sort of puzzle that they finally managed to solve.
Houvi, I'm really sorry.
I'll tell Streicher.
I'll tell him.
Just before putting the rope around his neck.
I'm going to tell this piece of shit that 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.
G�ring must take responsibility.
If you think he's going to play Jackson.
Doctor, please do something.
I can't.
I'm just a psychiatrist.
Want to know why it happened here?
Because people let it happen.
Because they didn't object until it was too late.
Have a nice trip home, doctor.
Yes, sir, of course.
No.
I understand perfectly.
THANKS.
Son of a bitch.
Truman has just appointed Frederick Vinson to head the Supreme Court.
I didn't want this job.
Who would want?
Dry ass.
You're walking straight into the trap.
Dr. Kelley, it appears to me that you have been relieved of your duties.
By inviting G�ring to testify, he will get everything he wants.
This is precisely why he surrendered.
This is his last chance to redeem the Reich on the world stage.
After what I read in the paper today,
I guess 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, informal conversations.
I know more about this man than anyone in the world.
And it's all there, at the CIA.
Why did you keep all this?
I intended to write a book.
Accomplish something in my life.
Everything is fine.
Do you really think I can't reach it?
Frankly ?
I don't know.
You know, I was going to become Chief Justice.
Now I'll be lucky if I find my place when I come back.
And I was discharged from the army six hours ago.
We have nothing else left, sir.
Might as well end this war.
It is important to use...
He's a Reichsmarschall.
And he is never wrong.
He simply can't be wrong.
All the decisions that brought us here must be right.
So, even if he doesn't want to talk about the camps,
of the SS and the Final Solution,
you can force him to take responsibility for it.
Kelis is right.
Force him to confess that he signed these orders.
I'll catch it.
Today is your day.
You are ready.
Sergeant, why is Dagas Kelis still here?
I have no idea, General.
Everyone at attention!
Judge Jackson,
Are you ready?
We call Herman G�ring to the stand.
Do you have any doubt that Adolf Hitler is dead?
So you understand that this makes you the only man alive
who can explain to us the true objectives of the Nazi party
and the internal functioning of its management?
I understand it perfectly.
Your party, from the beginning,
intended to overthrow the Weimar Republic?
This was our firm intention.
What the fuck?
Once in power, you immediately abolished parliamentary government in Germany?
We decided it was no longer necessary.
Because you thought the people were not capable of self-governance?
We were elected by the people
and received a mandate for change.
The system that existed before 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 it, but because
the democratic government placed men there who were too weak.
Let's move on to war crimes.
Once in power, you felt
that it was necessary to suppress all opposition parties, right?
We decided that it was no longer possible to tolerate opposition.
You also felt it was necessary to immediately create concentration camps?
The camps were created as a way to fight against communists
and their violence.
Vienna, two or three camps, something like that.
You also needed a certain group.
*Who carries out orders and, if necessary, fights for you, right?
A certain group?
Well, for example, if you wanted certain people killed,
you had to have an organization that did it.
Yes, in Germany there was the same level of political police
than in any other country.
The SA and the SS
were organizations that carried out these orders
and took care of people physically, right?
The SA was never ordered to kill anyone.
Neither did the SS, at least not in my time.
After a certain point, I no longer had any influence on this issue.
Well, the SS was making arrests.
She was responsible for transporting people to the concentration camps.
Do you remember
When did the SS begin to act as enforcers of the Nazi party?
It would be very difficult for me to explain to a stranger
where the SS or the Gestapo could act, and where they could not.
Try.
Well, maybe when the police came more into Himmler's hands,
expectations may have changed.
Of course, it is well known that some units of the SS
guarded the camps and later performed some police functions.
And performed other functions in the camps?
What functions are you referring to?
In the camps, they fulfilled all the functions, didn't they?
If an SS unit guarded a camp,
and that the SS commander was the camp commander,
then it would be logical to think
that they performed all the functions of the camp.
Finish it.
So you wanted a strong Germany to...
...that the terms of the Treaty of Versailles are not 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 was not taken away 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.
Nor were they taken away from Germany by the Treaty of Versailles,
and they weren't part of Germany before WWI 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 first,
they were part of the German Reich
for centuries.
You still haven't answered my question.
I answered.
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 other people's.
Mr. Judge, the court considers that the witness must be authorized
to provide the explanations he deems correct.
I believe the court knows that beyond the walls of this room,
an immense social problem arises concerning the resurgence of Nazism,
and that one of the objectives of the accused G�ring
is to encourage and consolidate it
by means of propaganda, using this ongoing trial.
Mr. Justice... This witness on the stand
and the accused on the bench
behaved with arrogance and contempt towards this court, which gives him
the possibility of being judged,
while he himself has never given this possibility to any living being!
The decision still stands, Mr. Justice.
Of course, I must obey the court's decision,
but I ask the witness to please respond briefly.
Could you repeat the question?
Have they not been taken 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 to self-determination of peoples.
It's interesting, given that you just testified
that the right of people to self-determination was the first thing you suppressed.

From the beginning,
you considered the exclusion of Jews from German economic life
as a phase of the four-year plan
within your jurisdiction, right?
Partly true... "Partly".
I would like to briefly review
your public actions regarding the Jewish question.
First, did you promulgate the Nuremberg Laws?
Yes.
This was my role as President of the Reichstag.
What was the date?
September 15, 1935.
Then, on December 1, 1936, you adopted a law
stipulating that the transfer of property abroad by Germans was punishable by death?
That's correct.
It was... the Foreign Currency Restrictions Decree.
Later, on April 22, 1938, you announced sanctions
for the concealment of Jewish commercial activities on the territory of the Reich.
Yes, for "concealment".
On April 26, 1938, you signed a decree
requiring registration of all Jewish property in Germany and abroad.
If I signed it.
Then, the decree of November 12, 1938.
Aiming to extort a sum of one billion Reichsmarks from the Jews as ransom.
Yes, but that...
And that all the damage caused to Jewish property
during the riots of 1938, must be immediately reimbursed by the Jews themselves,
and that insurance compensation be transferred to the Reich.
There's a lot of detail 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 had to return to Germany.
Himmler and Heydrich were charged
to develop plans for the Final Solution of the Jewish Question.
This is false.
I know this decree very well.
Please show document number 710,
submission 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?
It's true.
If I'm wrong, please correct me.
Completing the task assigned to you on January 24, 1939
and regarding the resolution of the Jewish problem,
by obtaining the most favorable result possible,
by encouraging emigration and evacuation,
By this document you are responsible for making all preparations
organizational and financial resources necessary for implementation
of the Final Solution to the Jewish Question.
He cornered him.
So far, everything is correct?
No, your translation is not correct.
So 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,
taking into account existing conditions
and in the most favorable way possible, I charge you
to make all necessary preparations
organizational, material and financial.
There is also
this sentence:
�For a completed solution��
No, �final solution.�
��For a complete solution to the Jewish question.��
�Finished and complete�?
Yes, completed and complete.
Did you want the SS commander to implement a completed and complete 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,
This is why I charged him with accelerating the resolution of the question of Jewish emigration.
�Emigration�? Are you claiming that this letter was about emigration?
It's written in the first line.
Preparations� for emigration.
It's just the first sentence.
The letter continues.
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.
This 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 you, can the witness withdraw?
I have a question.
Today, only the US Attorney is questioning the witness.
The United States is always happy to hear
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 by 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, right?
Yes, I was Reichsmarschall.
And you say you were completely unaware
that three million Jews were murdered in 1942?
I wasn't 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 correct.
In 1944, another 800,000 Jews died in the camps.
And in 1944 you were still Reichsmarschall, right?
In total, around six million Jews,
as well as Soviet and Polish citizens,
people of Roma origin,
artists, scientists,
writers, journalists, photographers, filmmakers,
people who did not die in combat,
not because of enemy fire,
but exterminated by the German state,
a state where you held one of the highest political positions,
that of Reichsmarschall,
and you claim you were not 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 F�hrer Adolf Hitler?
Yes,
I would follow him.
Order! Order!
Hey Hitler!
Don't you have any more questions?
I think it's a great place
to finish today's work.
You fought well.
Really good.
I held on. You have succeeded.
You were right.
I couldn't influence him.
Not without help.
�G�ring cannot oppose the F�hrer. �
Invaluable information, doctor.
And now ?
If G�ring falls, they all will fall.
Everything will be fine.
So.
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.
Farewell.
And now what are we going to do, doctor?
Shake our hands?
I know, we were friends, Douglas...
For a while.
Be well, Hermann.
After so many years...
I wonder what you will say about us.
Will you at least recognize that we were men?
The verdict of the International Military Tribunal will now be read.
1946.
Hermann G�ring.
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 archives.
The International Military Tribunal sentences you
to the death penalty by hanging.
Rudolf Hess,
you are found guilty on all four counts.
Executions are scheduled for midnight this evening.
In order to maintain discipline,
the prisoners will not be informed until 11:45 p.m.,
when they wake up in their cells
and that they will be offered the last sacraments.
8:00 p.m.
Eight hand-picked journalists will arrive at the prison.
2 French, 2 British, 2 Americans and 2 Russians.
The lights go out at 9:30 p.m.
After a final superficial examination by the doctor.
To the prisoner who asks for a sleeping pill,
we will give a placebo with baking powder.
At 10 p.m., we will lead the representatives of the press to the gallows,
where I will briefly talk to them about the final preparations for this night.
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? Goering. My general.
Shit.
No, no. No. No !
No, you bastard! You can't do that!
He is dead, general. Cyanide.
Name of God!
You piece of trash!
Excuse me, General, but we have to make a decision.
We can cancel tonight's executions or continue.
Let's just continue.
General, Streicher refuses to dress.
Let it go. Let him go!
Julius.
You were a friend.
Come on.
Let's do this together.
Come on.
Give me his shirt.
Ask him what his name is.
You know my name.
Do you want to say a last word?
Purim, 1946!
Shit.
Bastard.
G�RING COMMITTED SUICIDE
He deceives the gallows with poison
He got away with it.
Honestly, Doctor Kelly,
some conclusions in your book seem completely implausible.
You 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 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 isn't one here,
I'm absolutely sure there are people in America
who would be happy to walk over the corpses of half the Americans,
if they knew it would give them control of the other half.
Doctor, please.
They stir up hatred.
This is what Hitler and G�ring did, and it is a classic example.
And if you think the next time this happens,
we will recognize them because they will wear horrible uniforms,
you are completely crazy.
We will return to the discussion with participants after a break.
Yes...
I will not hesitate to invite you to stay for the future.
Let's go.
And know this:
Badmouthing our country is probably not the best way to sell a book.
Robert Jackson returned to the Supreme Court.
The legal practice he established in Nuremberg
has become the basis of all criminal prosecutions
modern for crimes against humanity.
After the trial, Howie Triest left the army
and returned to America with his sister Margo.
He lived to be 93 years old.
Douglas Kelley's book was not a success.
He never wrote another one.
He was growing 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 G�ring.
The only indication of what a man is capable of,
has he ever done it?
