00:35:13,407 Today he came here to meet with 359 00:35:13,573 --> 00:35:16,098 his agent provocateur, Klaus. 360 00:35:44,770 --> 00:35:47,663 Information for consideration: 361 00:35:47,747 --> 00:35:49,047 GOEBBELS 362 00:35:50,222 --> 00:35:54,249 Veteran of Hitler's Party, Reich Minister of Propaganda, 363 00:35:54,779 --> 00:35:58,215 SS-Obergruppenführer, the Gauleiter of Berlin, 364 00:35:58,637 --> 00:36:01,538 the architect of the Third Reich's new moral code. 365 00:36:02,721 --> 00:36:05,315 Married, has six children. 366 00:36:06,017 --> 00:36:07,882 Completed secondary

us to total annihilation. 370 00:36:19,323 --> 00:36:22,315 "No pity should ever stir in your hearts 371 00:36:22,399 --> 00:36:25,043 "for a Slav, a Jew, or a Frenchman. 372 00:36:25,442 --> 00:36:29,202 Remember: you are the future masters of the world." 373 00:36:30,199 --> 00:36:31,257 Goebbels. 374 00:36:33,583 --> 00:36:36,108 Leader of the Berlin Nazi Party, 375 00:36:36,252 --> 00:36:39,983 Chief of Press, Propaganda, and Culture, Joseph Goebbels 376 00:36:40,456 --> 00:36:44,324 was known across the Reich as an orator and political strategist, 377 00:36:44,454 --> 00:36:47,617 and as the instigator of the exile from Germany of Thomas Mann, 378 00:36:48,024 --> 00:36:51,897 Albert Einstein, Bertold Brecht, and Anna Seghers. 379 00:36:53,722 --> 00:36:57,283 On his orders, prominent publicist von Ossietzky was killed. 380 00:36:57,532 --> 00:37:00,752 With his approval, the best German journalists, communists, 381 00:37:00,836 --> 00:37:03,031 and Social Democrats were executed. 382 00:37:03,392 --> 00:37:06,785 "The Possessed Nazi" - that was Goebbels' Party nickname. 383 00:37:08,823 --> 00:37:13,020 Though Reichsführer Himmler's officials called the Reich Minister 384 00:37:13,414 --> 00:37:15,637 by a different name in their secret reports. 385 00:37:16,030 --> 00:37:19,124 He was referred to by the nickname 386 00:37:19,507 --> 00:37:21,475 "The Babelsberg Bull." 387 00:37:21,929 --> 00:37:25,456 Gestapo agents never caught the Reich Minister 388 00:37:25,586 --> 00:37:29,893 in the boudoirs of actresses during night orgies in Babelsberg. 389 00:37:30,297 --> 00:37:32,582 But scandal broke out when it was revealed 390 00:37:32,665 --> 00:37:37,102 that Goebbels had an affair with Czech actress Lida Baarova. 391 00:37:37,910 --> 00:37:40,470 Goebbels was summoned to the Party office 392 00:37:40,873 --> 00:37:45,468 and for four hours was subjected to humiliating questioning 393 00:37:45,552 --> 00:37:48,440 about his affair with an inferior Slav woman. 394 00:37:50,782 --> 00:37:53,342 Shortly after these events, which nearly cost Goebbels 395 00:37:53,426 --> 00:37:54,893 his career, 396 00:37:55,100 --> 00:37:58,263 Stierlitz saw the Reich Minister at a book fair. 397 00:38:00,098 --> 00:38:02,123 He remembered Goebbels' hands, 398 00:38:03,168 --> 00:38:04,465 he remembered how carefully 399 00:38:04,549 --> 00:38:08,349 Goebbels held a book of selected speeches carefully. 400 00:38:10,935 --> 00:38:13,748 The same night, on Goebbels' orders, books had been burned, 401 00:38:13,831 --> 00:38:16,883 books of Marx, Engels, Hegel, Kant, 402 00:38:16,968 --> 00:38:19,235 Heine, Mann, Tolstoy, 403 00:38:19,508 --> 00:38:24,279 Rolland, Gorky, Brecht, Seghers, and many others. 404 00:38:24,922 --> 00:38:26,981 The Reich Minister continued to atone for his sins 405 00:38:27,065 --> 00:38:29,418 before the new moral code of the Third Reich. 406 00:38:30,847 --> 00:38:34,112 "I, like each of us, will prove my loyalty to the Führer 407 00:38:34,731 --> 00:38:39,100 by being ready to give every drop of my blood for him," he said. 408 00:38:39,284 --> 00:38:42,233 Hitler forgave him only on the day of the assassination attempt, 409 00:38:42,317 --> 00:38:45,553 when Goebbels, the only one of Hitler's inner circle left in Berlin, 410 00:38:45,949 --> 00:38:49,943 stood up to the rebel generals and took part in their execution. 411 00:38:50,979 --> 00:38:54,574 It was on his orders that mass arrests were made in Berlin. 412 00:38:55,904 --> 00:38:59,396 Hundreds were executed without trial or investigation in those days. 413 00:39:00,983 --> 00:39:02,780 The Führer decorated Goebbels, 414 00:39:03,365 --> 00:39:05,663 appointed him the Gauleiter of Berlin 415 00:39:06,355 --> 00:39:09,915 and began entrusting him with visits to the most vulnerable frontline areas, 416 00:39:10,737 --> 00:39:15,231 where the defence was held by Volksturm men and Hitler Youth boys. 417 00:39:16,883 --> 00:39:19,852 Finally, in January 1945, the Führer came 418 00:39:20,068 --> 00:39:22,461 to Goebbels' house for his birthday. 419 00:39:23,150 --> 00:39:25,380 That day Goebbels said to his wife: 420 00:39:25,559 --> 00:39:28,390 "With mein Führer, I'll rise from the ashes. 421 00:39:28,574 --> 00:39:30,632 "With mein Führer, I shall perish. 422 00:39:31,010 --> 00:39:32,696 There is no other choice." 423 00:39:47,181 --> 00:39:50,919 Goebbels was ruled out by Stierlitz as a potential candidate 424 00:39:51,003 --> 00:39:53,369 for negotiations with the West, 425 00:39:53,492 --> 00:39:55,861 because he had already been compromised 426 00:39:55,945 --> 00:39:58,976 and stripped of political power by Hitler. 427 00:39:59,285 --> 00:40:02,482 This was never forgotten by either his foes or comrades. 428 00:40:03,054 --> 00:40:06,251 Secondly, he had no links to the army or the secret police. 429 00:40:06,786 --> 00:40:10,812 No one would negotiate with a statesman 430 00:40:11,349 --> 00:40:13,715 who had no real power behind him. 431 00:40:14,159 --> 00:40:17,754 And finally, he was fanatically devoted to Hitler. 432 00:41:19,781 --> 00:41:20,848 London. 433 00:41:22,424 --> 00:41:24,619 London was broadcasting upbeat music. 434 00:41:25,627 --> 00:41:27,378 The Glenn Miller Orchestra 435 00:41:27,462 --> 00:41:30,521 was playing a tune from "Sun Valley Serenade." 436 00:41:31,465 --> 00:41:35,663 Himmler liked that film, and a copy had been bought in Sweden. 437 00:41:36,504 --> 00:41:39,189 Since then, the film was often shown in the basement 438 00:41:39,273 --> 00:41:41,673 of the Reich Security Office, 439 00:41:42,076 --> 00:41:44,237 especially during night bombings, 440 00:41:44,445 --> 00:41:47,107 when interrogations were impossible. 441 00:42:20,212 --> 00:42:23,181 So Göring and Goebbels were ruled out. 442 00:42:27,986 --> 00:42:29,749 Bormann or Himmler? 443 00:42:30,388 --> 00:42:32,652 Bormann or Himmler, which of the two? 444 00:43:04,054 --> 00:43:07,387 -Yes, Mr. Bolzen? -Listen, Paul... 445 00:43:09,392 --> 00:43:11,757 Today you can go to town to see your children. 446 00:43:12,187 --> 00:43:14,018 Be

you may go. 449 00:43:42,891 --> 00:43:46,657 Stierlitz was waiting for his agent. His name was Klaus. 450 00:43:47,161 --> 00:43:50,591 He'd been recruited two years earlier - and quite willingly. 451 00:43:50,884 --> 00:43:53,562 The former proofreader liked to court danger. 452 00:43:53,848 --> 00:43:55,577 He worked like an artist, 453 00:43:55,702 --> 00:43:59,468 disarming his interlocutors with sincerity and blunt opinions. 454 00:43:59,686 --> 00:44:01,449 He was allowed to say anything 455 00:44:01,628 --> 00:44:04,453 as long as he delivered prompt results. 456 00:44:27,159 --> 00:44:29,150 18 Feb 1945 10:34 p.m. 457 00:44:31,937 --> 00:44:33,666 And here I don't agree with you. 458 00:44:34,185 --> 00:44:37,759 You're so eager to convince me that man descended from the monkey, 459 00:44:37,843 --> 00:44:41,609 as if you've met that monkey and it whispered something in your ear. 460 00:44:43,411 --> 00:44:47,580 Did God whisper in your ear that He created man? 461 00:44:47,853 --> 00:44:51,371 The existence of God can't be proven, you may only believe in Him. 462 00:44:51,455 --> 00:44:54,015 -You believe in the monkey, I in God. -No. 463 00:44:54,678 --> 00:44:56,569 I don't believe in the monkey, but in man, 464 00:44:56,653 --> 00:44:59,349 who descended from the monkey.
