1
00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:13,880
Adolph Hitler invaded Poland
in September, 1939...
2
00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:16,720
...starting WWII.
3
00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:20,560
By the winter of 1942,
his armies were freezing and starving...
4
00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:24,440
...in the snows of Russia, where his
best general had died of a heart attack...
5
00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:28,240
...and America had entered the war.
6
00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:31,160
For the first time,
Hitler's dream of a German empire...
7
00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:34,960
...to last 1,000 years was in doubt.
8
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:38,800
While he hired and fired generals
and the winter grew colder...
9
00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:42,680
...15 of his officials were ordered
from their commands and ministries...
10
00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:46,520
...to meet in a quiet lakeside residence
in Wannsee, in Berlin...
11
00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:50,320
...far from the crisis at the front.
12
00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:54,200
In two hours,
these men changed the world forever.
13
00:01:56,160 --> 00:01:59,960
Only one record of what was
said and done here survives...
14
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:03,800
...from the wreckage of what was
the Thousand-Year Reich.
15
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:18,720
- How many rolls?
- Enough for four hours, sir.
16
00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:22,080
Too many. Two hours worth
should be sufficient.
17
00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:43,160
Do we have enough? How many fell?
18
00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:46,080
I am sure we have a sizable inventory, sir.
19
00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:48,000
You are sure, or you know?
20
00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:49,880
I know, sir.
21
00:02:49,920 --> 00:02:53,760
Itemize the cost. He pays.
Make it a separate report to me.
22
00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:58,560
And keep him where I don't see him.
23
00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:08,120
Smile.
24
00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:09,120
It is a fine day.
25
00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:12,960
Yes, sir.
26
00:03:13,920 --> 00:03:17,760
All right, then. Let's look smart.
27
00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:47,520
Heil Hitler.
28
00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:59,080
No silence in Latvia.
No silence like this.
29
00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:03,880
You're surprised it's better in Berlin?
30
00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:10,600
Heil Hitler.
31
00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:17,280
- We've met, Colonel.
- Indeed, we have.
32
00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:20,200
- I'm State Secretary Bühler.
- Indeed, you are.
33
00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:22,120
- Col. Schöngarth.
- Sir.
34
00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:24,960
Maj. Lange.
35
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:28,840
If there's anything any of you need,
don't hesitate to call an orderly or me.
36
00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:32,680
My appreciation to the
man who picked this spot.
37
00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:34,560
That would be Gen. Heydrich.
38
00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:37,960
Beautiful house, from a more elegant time.
39
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:41,320
Are they any messages from Cracow,
my office?
40
00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:42,240
No, sir.
41
00:04:42,280 --> 00:04:44,160
Where do we go?
42
00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:47,040
The Major has come a long way,
the man deserves a drink.
43
00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:50,920
This way. You'll find the wines, and
we're not limited to the wines, first-rate.
44
00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:52,800
That way.
45
00:04:52,840 --> 00:04:54,760
Yes, the court will dry your throat.
46
00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:57,680
Drink.
47
00:04:57,720 --> 00:05:00,480
Excellent!
48
00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:04,360
Put this book away.
49
00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:08,200
It's not built for this purpose,
not for meetings.
50
00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:11,080
These floors are not for boots.
51
00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:14,000
- It was a private home?
- Private home, yes.
52
00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:14,920
Whose?
53
00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:18,760
We believe it was owned by
a Jew. There's some dispute.
54
00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:21,640
In the SS, we travel deluxe.
55
00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:24,560
- Always.
- Well, we've earned it, surely.
56
00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:28,360
Not everyone agrees.
57
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:39,880
- Heil Hitler!
- It's running like a damn truck.
58
00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:43,760
They say they replaced the belts and
plugs, but it sounds like a cement mixer.
59
00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:46,160
Can someone here check?
I can't hear myself think in there!
60
00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:51,440
The East is well represented.
61
00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:55,280
And we're here first.
62
00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:58,120
Meet Maj. Lange, a very tired man.
63
00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:01,000
No, please, I am enjoying
these surroundings.
64
00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:04,880
- Where can I find Col. Eichmann?
- Follow me, sir.
65
00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:11,560
Eichmann?
66
00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:15,440
Excuse the interruption.
67
00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:18,280
Colonel.
68
00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:21,160
My memorandum of recommendations.
69
00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:24,040
I have here another copy,
in the circumstance Gen. Heydrich...
70
00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:26,200
...would like to be
refreshed of its contents
71
00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:27,920
for the sake of maintaining harmony...
72
00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:31,760
...between the Gestapo
and the Foreign Office.
73
00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:33,640
- That was my thought.
- Yes.
74
00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:36,560
Are there any changes
to the list of the invited...
75
00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:37,480
No.
76
00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:41,360
- So even Dr. Kritzinger will be here?
- Yes.
77
00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:43,800
Yes, he will not be happy.
78
00:06:43,840 --> 00:06:46,120
Here we are. And how are you?
79
00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:50,000
Very well, thank you.
I'll make sure that the General sees this.
80
00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:53,840
- When will he arrive?
- He should be on the ground any moment.
81
00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:47,600
May I take your coat, sir? Your hat?
82
00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:51,480
Neumann, Director,
Office of the Four-Year Plan, sir.
83
00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:53,360
Yes. How are you, Neumann?
84
00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:57,240
Always surprised and flattered,
Dr. Stuckart, that you recognize me.
85
00:07:57,280 --> 00:08:01,040
I'm always thanking you for saying so.
86
00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:03,960
Neumann, Director,
Office of the Four-Year Plan.
87
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:07,800
Dr. Stuckart.
88
00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:13,560
- Heil Hitler. Welcome, sir.
- Heil Hitler. Thank you for the welcome.
89
00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:16,440
Gen. Heydrich's not here
yet, I expect. Am I correct?
90
00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:17,360
Yes, sir.
91
00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:21,240
He loves a grand entrance.
92
00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:24,080
I have no idea what happened to him.
93
00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:26,960
Probably running a
bank somewhere by now.
94
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:29,880
I understand the purpose, but no
idea what the man might propose.
95
00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:32,800
- Or what the meeting's about? Power.
- No, consolidation of power.
96
00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:34,680
We should benefit by that.
97
00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:37,600
Kritzinger, a pleasure.
I'm pleased you're here.
98
00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:40,480
A morbid curiosity.
We have settled this question.
99
00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:41,400
So I thought.
100
00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:44,800
- What's been discussed?
- Everything, except the fighting in Moscow.
101
00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:48,400
I've heard we're counter-attacking.
Reichenau's got them out of...
102
00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:52,000
Reichenau is dead. Let us not
gossip like maids at the market.
103
00:08:52,040 --> 00:08:55,840
We are stalled for the winter.
Time to face reality.
104
00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:03,520
- Is Col. Eichmann here?
- Yes, sir.
105
00:09:03,560 --> 00:09:06,400
Tell him Klopfer has arrived.
106
00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:08,280
And the others?
107
00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:11,160
Neumann, Director,
Office of the Four-Year Plan.
108
00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:14,080
- For Göring?
- For Reichsmarshal Göring, yes, his office.
109
00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:15,000
And you, sir?
110
00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:17,880
Luther. And what is your plan?
111
00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:21,760
Where will we be in four years,
do you think? Living in the White House?
112
00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:26,520
Welcome, sir.
113
00:09:26,560 --> 00:09:28,440
- You are very well fixed up here.
- I think we are.
114
00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:31,320
I'm late because of a briefing.
We have this general...
115
00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:35,200
...who is now trying to capture Moscow,
who has never commanded one brigade.
116
00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:39,040
That is what I've been hearing,
and that is why I am late.
117
00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:40,000
- Not at all.
- Is there beer?
118
00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:41,880
Yes.
119
00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:43,800
And where is the boys' room?
120
00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:47,680
I've been briefed by the Governor-General
on what concerns, what anticipations.
121
00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:49,560
That is private.
122
00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:53,440
We will all discover what new
concepts our SS friends have in mind.
123
00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:56,280
Schöngarth!
124
00:09:56,320 --> 00:09:57,240
Not bad for French.
125
00:09:57,280 --> 00:10:01,120
Neumann, Director, Office of the Four-Year
Plan. I'm very pleased to be here.
126
00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:03,000
Whom may I be speaking to?
127
00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:04,920
It is very complex, these laws.
128
00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:08,800
A lot of time and thought have been
put to them, and some of these here...
129
00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:10,720
...you notice all the SS...
130
00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:14,080
...have little idea what is lawful
and no respect for what they do know.
131
00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:17,440
Certainly not these men. To them,
laws are like ice cream: Easily melted.
132
00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:23,240
I suspect that is why this meeting,
which is under my department...
133
00:10:23,280 --> 00:10:25,160
...is being called by the SS. Do you know?
134
00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:28,960
Only what the invitation suggested.
135
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:32,840
They always want to meet.
The SS love to meet.
136
00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:35,720
And they always want something more...
137
00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:37,600
...though they have everything.
138
00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:40,520
Has anyone heard anything remotely
optimistic about the Moscow assault?
139
00:10:40,560 --> 00:10:42,440
No good news. Sympathies all around.
140
00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:45,320
- It's cold.
- What?
141
00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:47,720
It must be cold.
142
00:10:47,760 --> 00:10:50,080
What have we got?
143
00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:53,000
I see wine, but no beer.
And what are these?
144
00:10:53,040 --> 00:10:55,840
- Cigars, sir.
- Please.
145
00:10:55,880 --> 00:10:57,800
Neumann, Director,
Office of the Four-Year Plan.
146
00:10:57,840 --> 00:10:59,680
Luther! Excuse me.
147
00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:02,600
- Sir, this is...
- Director, Four-Year Plan.
148
00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:05,480
A close associate of Reichsmarshal Göring.
149
00:11:05,520 --> 00:11:08,320
Neumann, I introduce Dr. Klopfer...
150
00:11:08,360 --> 00:11:11,240
...a close associate of the Brown Eminence.
151
00:11:11,280 --> 00:11:14,080
- Brown?
- I represent Martin Bormann...
152
00:11:14,120 --> 00:11:17,960
...the Party Chairman
of the Thousand-Year Plan.
153
00:11:31,400 --> 00:11:33,320
- Is Dr. Kritzinger here?
- Yes, he is, sir.
154
00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:37,160
That's a relief.
155
00:11:43,880 --> 00:11:46,760
- Are they under way?
- Not yet, sir.
156
00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:48,680
- Who's late?
- We are.
157
00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:52,560
- Who is not here?
- Gen. Heydrich, sir, but he's on his way.
158
00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:55,400
He will make his entrance.
159
00:11:55,440 --> 00:11:58,320
Everything is fine, everyone's comfortable:
Food, cigars, wine.
160
00:11:58,360 --> 00:12:00,200
Colonel?
161
00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:04,040
He's here, sir.
162
00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:34,800
- Heil Hitler.
- Müller.
163
00:12:34,840 --> 00:12:36,680
I love this house!
164
00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:39,600
Seeing it from the air,
you appreciate the architect.
165
00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:42,000
- Are we ready?
- Absolutely, sir.
166
00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:44,400
After the war, it will be my home.
167
00:12:44,440 --> 00:12:46,280
A marvelous home.
168
00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:48,200
There have been questions
about Moscow...
169
00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:52,040
...but I think
I've deflected them successfully.
170
00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:54,920
Understood. If we keep doing this all day,
we'll never finish.
171
00:12:54,960 --> 00:12:58,800
With no disrespect to our Führer,
it is suspended until the end of business.
172
00:12:58,840 --> 00:13:00,680
- Yes, sir.
- Very good.
173
00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:02,600
- There's wine, sir.
- You've all had what you need?
174
00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:06,480
Then let us do what we are here for,
and refreshments after?
175
00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:07,400
- There'll be a buffet.
- Good.
176
00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:10,320
Dr. Kritzinger, important that you be here.
Let us begin.
177
00:13:10,360 --> 00:13:13,160
- Our Führer, how is his mood?
- Commanding, of course.
178
00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:16,080
- His generals in Russia are a disgrace.
- This conference should've...
179
00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:17,960
In a moment.
180
00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:19,880
Gentlemen, your places are identified.
181
00:13:19,920 --> 00:13:23,760
Thank you all for coming. Please, sit down.
I'm sorry I held you up a little.
182
00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:27,560
But you had elegant wine, I'm sure.
183
00:13:27,600 --> 00:13:31,480
And no one there
to say it's too early for that.
184
00:13:31,520 --> 00:13:32,400
Are you all set up?
185
00:13:32,440 --> 00:13:34,320
- It's prepared.
- Very good.
186
00:13:34,360 --> 00:13:37,240
At the risk of sounding like
the first day at summer camp...
187
00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:40,120
...let's go around the table
and introduce ourselves...
188
00:13:40,160 --> 00:13:41,040
...for those who do not know others.
189
00:13:41,080 --> 00:13:44,880
I shall save myself for last
and start with Gen. Müller.
190
00:13:45,880 --> 00:13:47,760
Maj. Gen. Heinrich Müller, SS Gestapo.
191
00:13:47,800 --> 00:13:50,640
Klopfer, representing the Party,
that is who I speak for.
192
00:13:50,680 --> 00:13:53,560
I'm Kritzinger, Ministerial Director
of the Reich Chancellery.
193
00:13:53,600 --> 00:13:55,440
I appreciate being called, but wonder why.
194
00:13:55,480 --> 00:13:59,320
The topic, the coordination of the
Jewish question, I believe, was resolved.
195
00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:00,240
It will be.
196
00:14:00,280 --> 00:14:04,120
With the Führer stating to me
and to my superiors...
197
00:14:04,160 --> 00:14:07,920
It will be.
198
00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:10,840
Gen. Hofmann,
Race and Settlement, Main Office.
199
00:14:10,880 --> 00:14:13,720
We deal with matters
of race and settlement.
200
00:14:13,760 --> 00:14:14,640
Is it me?
201
00:14:14,680 --> 00:14:18,520
Leibbrandt, the Political Office of the
Ministry for all we hold and administer...
202
00:14:19,480 --> 00:14:21,400
...in Eastern Poland, the Baltics
and in the Soviet Union.
203
00:14:21,440 --> 00:14:24,280
I am the State Secretary
for the Ministry as a whole.
204
00:14:24,320 --> 00:14:28,120
- Give them your name.
- Meyer, Dr., sorry.
205
00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:30,000
Stuckart, Interior Ministry.
206
00:14:30,040 --> 00:14:31,960
Martin Luther,
Undersecretary of the Foreign Ministry.
207
00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:33,840
I met almost everybody.
208
00:14:33,880 --> 00:14:37,720
My name is Neumann, Director,
Office of the Four-Year Plan.
209
00:14:37,760 --> 00:14:41,120
Lange, Deputy Commander
of SS Task Forces in Latvia.
210
00:14:41,160 --> 00:14:44,440
- Among other things.
- We all have other things.
211
00:14:44,480 --> 00:14:46,320
I'm Joseph Bühler...
212
00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:49,240
...Secretary of State of the General
Government of German-occupied Poland.
213
00:14:49,280 --> 00:14:51,200
How cold is it up there?
214
00:14:51,240 --> 00:14:53,040
Better Cracow than Warsaw.
215
00:14:53,080 --> 00:14:56,920
Now that it is run by Germans,
you should be spared those Polish winters.
216
00:14:56,960 --> 00:14:57,840
Not the case.
217
00:14:57,880 --> 00:15:01,720
Schöngarth,
SS assigned to the General Government.
218
00:15:02,680 --> 00:15:05,520
Dr. Freisler, Ministry of Justice.
219
00:15:05,560 --> 00:15:09,440
Also, I hold rank in the Storm Troopers.
220
00:15:09,480 --> 00:15:10,360
So that is who I am.
221
00:15:10,400 --> 00:15:14,200
Adolf Eichmann, SS Gestapo, Office of
Jewish Affairs, and that should be...
222
00:15:16,160 --> 00:15:17,080
Yes, that's all.
223
00:15:17,120 --> 00:15:20,000
And I am Heydrich,
SS Chief of Reich Security, Main Office...
224
00:15:20,040 --> 00:15:22,880
...and Reichsprotector
of Bohemia and Moravia.
225
00:15:22,920 --> 00:15:24,760
And welcome.
226
00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:28,160
You have each been given some papers.
These are for you alone.
227
00:15:28,200 --> 00:15:31,520
No copies to be made,
not to be seen or discussed with others...
228
00:15:31,560 --> 00:15:32,440
...except superiors.
229
00:15:32,480 --> 00:15:36,320
How we deal with matters here
must be held secret from our enemies.
230
00:15:36,360 --> 00:15:39,680
We control events better
when we control opinion.
231
00:15:39,720 --> 00:15:43,040
Today, each of us becomes
a bearer of secrets.
232
00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:45,920
- And our secretary will be discreet?
- He agrees.
233
00:15:45,960 --> 00:15:47,800
He agrees? Excellent.
234
00:15:47,840 --> 00:15:50,720
Communication between us after today
will pass in both directions...
235
00:15:50,760 --> 00:15:53,600
...through Lt. Col. Eichmann,
my deputy for all Jewish matters.
236
00:15:53,640 --> 00:15:56,440
He is your focal point.
237
00:15:56,480 --> 00:16:00,320
To begin, we have a storage problem
in Germany with these Jews.
238
00:16:01,280 --> 00:16:04,120
There have been conversations
for a year about this Jew...
239
00:16:04,160 --> 00:16:07,040
...and that Jew and the complexities
of the law and this problem...
240
00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:09,880
...as you, I'm sure, know has tormented us.
241
00:16:09,920 --> 00:16:13,280
We first undertook to expel them
from all means by which our people...
242
00:16:13,320 --> 00:16:16,640
...would have to deal with them,
every sphere of life of German people.
243
00:16:16,680 --> 00:16:19,520
The laws enacted at Nuremberg,
and we should drink a toast...
244
00:16:19,560 --> 00:16:21,400
...to Dr. Stuckart for devising them.
245
00:16:21,440 --> 00:16:24,280
Coauthor, in all modesty,
I am the coauthor.
246
00:16:24,320 --> 00:16:28,160
They established the fundamental legality
for the creation of a Jew-free society...
247
00:16:29,120 --> 00:16:31,000
...a Jew-free economy for the world to see.
248
00:16:31,040 --> 00:16:33,920
And we, indeed, have eliminated the Jew
from our national life.
249
00:16:33,960 --> 00:16:37,720
Now, more than that, the Jew himself...
250
00:16:37,760 --> 00:16:41,600
...must be physically eradicated
from our living space.
251
00:16:41,640 --> 00:16:43,080
- Clarification.
- Absolutely.
252
00:16:43,120 --> 00:16:44,440
There will be a moment for that.
253
00:16:44,480 --> 00:16:48,360
But if I may, we pursued
a vigorous policy of emigration...
254
00:16:48,400 --> 00:16:51,200
...but who would take more of them?
255
00:16:51,240 --> 00:16:54,080
"Who would want them?"
Was the policy's ultimate limitation.
256
00:16:54,120 --> 00:16:57,920
Every border in Europe rejects them
or charges outrageously to accept them.
257
00:16:59,880 --> 00:17:01,760
- America.
- Even America, thank you...
258
00:17:01,800 --> 00:17:05,600
...where Jews constantly whisper
in Roosevelt's ear, still turns them away.
259
00:17:06,600 --> 00:17:10,400
Then, in acquiring Poland,
we acquired two and a half million more.
260
00:17:12,360 --> 00:17:14,240
By last July,
we were met with a new situation...
261
00:17:14,280 --> 00:17:17,160
...we would, in very short order,
be acquiring some...
262
00:17:17,200 --> 00:17:20,960
...five million Jews
as we conquered Russia.
263
00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:23,880
The dimensions of this problem
have magnified astoundingly.
264
00:17:23,920 --> 00:17:25,760
Five million.
265
00:17:25,800 --> 00:17:29,160
Exactly the problem. Our ghettos are full...
266
00:17:29,200 --> 00:17:32,520
All those ghettos, yes, with Polish names.
267
00:17:33,480 --> 00:17:36,840
Fully occupied, but hold for now,
please, if you would.
268
00:17:36,880 --> 00:17:39,960
At that time, last July,
confronting this new situation...
269
00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:43,080
...Reichsmarshal Göring
prepared a directive, you have a copy.
270
00:17:43,120 --> 00:17:45,920
The operative words,
if you'll permit me to read:
271
00:17:45,960 --> 00:17:48,800
"I hereby charge you
with making all preparations...
272
00:17:48,840 --> 00:17:51,680
"... in regard to organizational
and financial matters...
273
00:17:51,720 --> 00:17:55,560
"... for bringing about a complete solution
of the Jewish question...
274
00:17:55,600 --> 00:17:57,480
"... in the German sphere of influence
in Europe. "
275
00:17:57,520 --> 00:18:00,880
Now, for that, I read the cleansing...
276
00:18:00,920 --> 00:18:03,520
...of the entire continent of Europe.
277
00:18:03,560 --> 00:18:06,080
You see, the word "cleansing"...
278
00:18:06,120 --> 00:18:09,000
An accurate word, I think. If I may go on...
279
00:18:09,040 --> 00:18:10,880
...in the second paragraph:
280
00:18:10,920 --> 00:18:13,760
"Wherever other governmental agencies
are involved...
281
00:18:13,800 --> 00:18:17,640
"... these are to cooperate with you... "
I hope. So on, so on.
282
00:18:17,680 --> 00:18:19,520
"... as necessary for the accomplishment...
283
00:18:19,560 --> 00:18:23,400
"... of the desired solution
of the Jewish question. "
284
00:18:24,400 --> 00:18:28,240
This is our mandate, all of us.
285
00:18:28,280 --> 00:18:30,120
May I say, in fairness...
286
00:18:30,160 --> 00:18:32,040
...the Jewish question falls
within the responsibilities...
287
00:18:32,080 --> 00:18:35,920
...of my department, the Reich Chancellery,
and we received no directive...
288
00:18:35,960 --> 00:18:37,800
If you will give me a moment or two.
289
00:18:37,840 --> 00:18:41,680
- The document is in your folder?
- Yes, it is in your folder.
290
00:18:41,720 --> 00:18:42,600
I'm sure it is.
291
00:18:42,640 --> 00:18:45,520
Finally, what has happened
since that directive?
292
00:18:45,560 --> 00:18:46,440
Succinctly, now...
293
00:18:46,480 --> 00:18:49,360
...we are standing still in Russia,
the Americans have joined the war.
294
00:18:49,400 --> 00:18:53,200
Both events are a further drain
on our military, our economy...
295
00:18:53,240 --> 00:18:55,120
...our manpower, our food supply.
296
00:18:55,160 --> 00:18:58,960
We cannot store these Jews.
297
00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:01,800
Emigration is over.
298
00:19:01,840 --> 00:19:05,680
And the inevitable solution is what we,
together at this table...
299
00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:10,480
...will discuss this afternoon.
300
00:19:18,160 --> 00:19:22,000
We'll go on. You'll find a document
listing the remaining Jewish population...
301
00:19:22,040 --> 00:19:23,880
...by country in Europe...
302
00:19:23,920 --> 00:19:27,760
...and whatever the USSR or Russia
calls itself for the time it has left.
303
00:19:27,800 --> 00:19:31,120
As I mentioned,
emigration policy will stop...
304
00:19:31,160 --> 00:19:34,440
I apologize, sir. A call for Gen. Heydrich.
305
00:19:34,480 --> 00:19:38,320
- See who it is, and end the calls.
- Yes, sir.
306
00:19:39,280 --> 00:19:43,120
We will take but a moment.
307
00:19:43,160 --> 00:19:46,960
Please sit, Dr. Kritzinger.
308
00:19:49,840 --> 00:19:53,680
Make us all comfortable.
309
00:20:01,360 --> 00:20:04,200
Where is this going?
310
00:20:04,240 --> 00:20:07,120
Yes, this is Lt. Col. Eichmann.
311
00:20:07,160 --> 00:20:10,040
I understand, Major, but the General
is to be free of calls at this time.
312
00:20:10,080 --> 00:20:12,920
If you wish to explain the matter to me...
313
00:20:12,960 --> 00:20:14,800
Yes?
314
00:20:14,840 --> 00:20:17,720
Yes, I'm sure if you call his office, you...
315
00:20:17,760 --> 00:20:21,520
Yes. Heil Hitler.
316
00:20:23,480 --> 00:20:26,320
This meeting is not taking place.
317
00:20:26,360 --> 00:20:29,240
You are to take no phone calls
for anyone at this meeting.
318
00:20:29,280 --> 00:20:31,120
Anyone.
319
00:20:31,160 --> 00:20:35,000
Unless the Führer calls, and he won't.
320
00:20:35,040 --> 00:20:38,840
- Understood?
- Yes, sir.
321
00:20:39,800 --> 00:20:42,680
Here is Field Marshall Reichenau
strapped to a chair...
322
00:20:42,720 --> 00:20:45,560
...and put, convulsing, on the plane,
where he dies.
323
00:20:45,600 --> 00:20:48,480
He wanted to retreat as deeply
as Rundstedt did, but...
324
00:20:48,520 --> 00:20:51,360
...Rundstedt got his medal
and Reichenau, the hereafter.
325
00:20:51,400 --> 00:20:54,200
Maj. Schussheim was reluctant
to give me any message.
326
00:20:54,240 --> 00:20:56,480
He does not appreciate you as I do.
327
00:20:57,120 --> 00:20:58,960
Emigration.
328
00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:01,880
The policy to replace that of emigration,
and we have enough experience...
329
00:21:01,920 --> 00:21:04,720
...to do it well, is evacuation.
330
00:21:04,760 --> 00:21:07,640
Which differs from emigration
in what way? Evacuation to where?
331
00:21:07,680 --> 00:21:10,040
Let us postpone that question for a while.
332
00:21:10,080 --> 00:21:12,400
- To hell, one hopes.
- Many already have.
333
00:21:12,440 --> 00:21:15,280
- Do they even have a hell?
- They do now. We provide it.
334
00:21:15,320 --> 00:21:19,160
We have received assurances that
these Jews are held in livable conditions.
335
00:21:20,120 --> 00:21:22,520
You are postponing,
that is your prerogative.
336
00:21:22,560 --> 00:21:24,920
Will I have an opportunity
to be heard on this?
337
00:21:24,960 --> 00:21:26,840
On my word of honor.
338
00:21:26,880 --> 00:21:28,720
If I may.
339
00:21:28,760 --> 00:21:31,600
132,000 Jews left in Germany proper.
340
00:21:31,640 --> 00:21:35,480
Austria: 43,700.
Occupied Eastern Territories: 420,000.
341
00:21:36,440 --> 00:21:39,280
General Government: 2,284,000.
342
00:21:39,320 --> 00:21:43,160
Bialystok: 400,000, and Moravia: 74,200.
343
00:21:43,200 --> 00:21:47,000
- Estonia: Not a one.
- The best thing I've heard about Estonia.
344
00:21:47,040 --> 00:21:50,880
You have the list, I won't read it all.
Plenty in France, Romania, England.
345
00:21:50,920 --> 00:21:51,800
USSR: 5 million.
346
00:21:51,840 --> 00:21:55,640
In what is, or will be soon, our sphere
of control over 11 million chosen people.
347
00:21:57,600 --> 00:21:59,480
- The changing definitions?
- Yes, go ahead.
348
00:21:59,520 --> 00:22:03,360
Except that there are countries
that define Jewishness non-racially...
349
00:22:03,400 --> 00:22:06,240
...merely as a religious practice:
England, America.
350
00:22:06,280 --> 00:22:09,080
Therefore, by our racial principles...
351
00:22:09,120 --> 00:22:12,000
...there may be many additional
uncounted Israelites.
352
00:22:12,040 --> 00:22:14,880
And he speaks Jewish. He does!
353
00:22:14,920 --> 00:22:16,760
He does!
354
00:22:16,800 --> 00:22:19,640
What, then, confronts us here...
355
00:22:19,680 --> 00:22:23,520
...in open discussion, which will inform
the choices we must make...
356
00:22:23,560 --> 00:22:25,400
...is what to do...
357
00:22:25,440 --> 00:22:29,280
...to deal with this staggering number
of Jews overwhelming us.
358
00:22:31,200 --> 00:22:33,120
My suggestion is
to take all able-bodied Jews...
359
00:22:33,160 --> 00:22:35,000
...separated according
to sex, to the East...
360
00:22:35,040 --> 00:22:37,920
...to work in units,
specifically for road building.
361
00:22:37,960 --> 00:22:39,800
Yes. Can we be practical?
362
00:22:39,840 --> 00:22:43,680
You are hardly describing the promised
livable conditions for these people.
363
00:22:44,640 --> 00:22:47,520
On the face of it, your plan...
364
00:22:47,560 --> 00:22:50,400
...excuse me, does not succeed.
365
00:22:50,440 --> 00:22:54,200
It is fanciful.
366
00:22:54,240 --> 00:22:58,040
You have, in this collection here...
367
00:22:58,080 --> 00:23:00,960
...five million Russo-European Jews:
10% agriculture...
368
00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:03,840
...15% urban workers,
tradesmen: Almost 20%...
369
00:23:03,880 --> 00:23:05,720
...bureaucrats: Almost 24%...
370
00:23:05,760 --> 00:23:10,560
...doctors, writers, journalists,
actors and so on: Almost 33%.
371
00:23:10,600 --> 00:23:12,440
Building roads?
372
00:23:12,480 --> 00:23:16,320
75% of your five million have not
picked up anything heavier than a pencil.
373
00:23:17,280 --> 00:23:21,120
Yes, and most will be casualties,
eliminated by natural causes.
374
00:23:22,080 --> 00:23:25,000
We intend to be complete.
We will comb Europe from west to east...
375
00:23:25,040 --> 00:23:27,840
...starting with the protectorates,
Bohemia and Moravia.
376
00:23:27,880 --> 00:23:31,680
We will evacuate them first.
All to-be-evacuated Jews, group by group...
377
00:23:31,720 --> 00:23:34,000
...will be sent to, call
them transit ghettos,
378
00:23:34,040 --> 00:23:35,560
and then transported to the east.
379
00:23:35,600 --> 00:23:37,480
- Please...
- You want yours first! I understand.
380
00:23:37,520 --> 00:23:39,360
Let me make my case, you'll be heard.
381
00:23:39,400 --> 00:23:42,280
When, in your plan,
do you take their women away?
382
00:23:42,320 --> 00:23:45,160
How they love to make the beast.
383
00:23:45,200 --> 00:23:47,040
Control yourself.
384
00:23:47,080 --> 00:23:49,920
Jews who have beyond 65 years
will be moved into old-age ghettos...
385
00:23:49,960 --> 00:23:53,800
...possibly Theresienstadt will be chosen,
where they can expire at their own speed.
386
00:23:54,760 --> 00:23:56,680
We will sweep
all wounded Jewish veterans...
387
00:23:56,720 --> 00:23:58,560
...and those given military decorations.
388
00:23:58,600 --> 00:24:01,480
The Iron Cross, first class,
that fine distinction will be abandoned.
389
00:24:01,520 --> 00:24:04,320
They go, too, into the old-age ghettos...
390
00:24:04,360 --> 00:24:08,200
...or we will be drowning in requests
for exemptions and interventions.
391
00:24:08,240 --> 00:24:11,080
I was referring to intervention
of another kind...
392
00:24:11,120 --> 00:24:12,960
...below the waist.
393
00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:16,840
This is all very beguiling, but when you
include privileges for certain Jews...
394
00:24:17,800 --> 00:24:21,640
...the Party Chancellery
sees its interest a certain way.
395
00:24:21,680 --> 00:24:24,480
And Martin Bormann, I can speak for him...
396
00:24:24,520 --> 00:24:28,320
...has his authority
as well from the Führer.
397
00:24:28,360 --> 00:24:32,200
We do not just surrender our prerogative
to decide Jew questions.
398
00:24:37,960 --> 00:24:41,800
Everyone's point of view
will be considered.
399
00:24:42,760 --> 00:24:45,640
Did you ever see an animal
with two heads?
400
00:24:45,680 --> 00:24:47,520
They do not live.
401
00:24:47,560 --> 00:24:50,400
Want to see Bormann and Göring
fight it out?
402
00:24:50,440 --> 00:24:53,320
We are not trying to roll over anyone,
quite the opposite.
403
00:24:53,360 --> 00:24:55,200
Does anyone else want to raise
this question now?
404
00:24:55,240 --> 00:24:59,480
Because I have been asked to direct the
release of Germany and all of Europe...
405
00:24:59,480 --> 00:25:03,000
...from the Jewish stranglehold,
and I believe, together, we will.
406
00:25:03,040 --> 00:25:06,760
But the brief remains
clear: All of Europe...
407
00:25:06,800 --> 00:25:10,640
...England, from Lapland to Libya,
from Vladivostok to Belfast...
408
00:25:10,680 --> 00:25:14,000
...no Jews.
409
00:25:14,040 --> 00:25:17,320
Not one.
410
00:25:24,080 --> 00:25:26,960
I propose that the appropriate expert from
the Foreign Ministry...
411
00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:30,320
...act as channel to the SS
security police in each country.
412
00:25:30,360 --> 00:25:33,680
I'm counting on you to be my link
to the Foreign Ministry.
413
00:25:35,600 --> 00:25:39,440
I think, having explained in general
what we are challenged to do...
414
00:25:39,480 --> 00:25:42,280
...I would be grateful for comments
and questions.
415
00:25:42,320 --> 00:25:44,000
Let us have some refreshment in here.
416
00:25:44,040 --> 00:25:46,160
Pretend we are the
directors of I. G. Farben.
417
00:25:46,200 --> 00:25:50,000
- That's how they do it, yes?
- That is how we do it.
418
00:25:51,920 --> 00:25:53,840
My friend,
I have read your recommendations.
419
00:25:53,880 --> 00:25:55,720
I appreciate the effort and the thought.
420
00:25:55,760 --> 00:25:59,600
I heard some of what I wrote
in what you already said.
421
00:26:00,560 --> 00:26:04,400
I think not.
422
00:26:11,120 --> 00:26:14,960
I hear that Heydrich has
a little Jew blood in him.
423
00:26:16,880 --> 00:26:19,720
Why don't you ask him?
424
00:26:19,760 --> 00:26:22,640
- The numbers are misleading.
- Misleading?
425
00:26:22,680 --> 00:26:24,520
"Who is a Jew?" is another question.
426
00:26:24,560 --> 00:26:28,400
- They're not a heterogeneous...
- Not a heterogeneous population.
427
00:26:32,240 --> 00:26:34,160
And how is it that you can speak Hebrew?
428
00:26:34,200 --> 00:26:36,040
Or is it only Yiddish you speak?
429
00:26:36,080 --> 00:26:39,920
I lived among them, I worked among them,
and I picked up a few words.
430
00:26:39,960 --> 00:26:41,840
Jewish, Yiddish, what they were,
not enough to speak.
431
00:26:41,880 --> 00:26:43,760
So I went in search of a rabbi.
432
00:26:43,800 --> 00:26:46,440
Rabbi means "teacher," I came to find out.
433
00:26:46,480 --> 00:26:49,080
May I tell you the Lord's honest truth?
434
00:26:49,120 --> 00:26:51,440
So many of our highest ranking officers...
435
00:26:51,480 --> 00:26:54,360
...whose responsibility it is
to deal with the Israelites...
436
00:26:54,400 --> 00:26:57,200
...they make no attempt
to get inside the Jewish head.
437
00:26:57,240 --> 00:27:01,040
I went to visit this rabbi,
old man, long beard, in his one-room flat.
438
00:27:02,040 --> 00:27:05,880
And when he saw me,
his eyes grew as large as hen's eggs.
439
00:27:05,920 --> 00:27:08,720
I asked him to teach me his language,
and he agreed.
440
00:27:08,760 --> 00:27:12,600
And he said that he would,
but that he would charge me, of course.
441
00:27:12,640 --> 00:27:14,480
I applied to my commander for funds,
and I was denied.
442
00:27:14,520 --> 00:27:18,360
I've run into this opposition all my life,
so I paid my own money.
443
00:27:18,400 --> 00:27:20,240
Very little, not much.
444
00:27:20,280 --> 00:27:23,160
And he taught me some vocabulary
and letters of the alphabet.
445
00:27:23,200 --> 00:27:26,000
Looking back, I realize,
it was poor judgment on my part...
446
00:27:26,040 --> 00:27:28,920
...because I could've so easily
had the old man put into prison...
447
00:27:28,960 --> 00:27:32,760
...and demanded lessons from him
in his cell, free of charge.
448
00:27:32,800 --> 00:27:34,640
One day, he went out.
449
00:27:34,680 --> 00:27:37,560
He was rounded up and shipped off...
450
00:27:37,600 --> 00:27:40,440
...because he had gone out unadvisedly.
451
00:27:40,480 --> 00:27:42,320
And I thought:
452
00:27:42,360 --> 00:27:45,720
"That's so stupid. "
453
00:27:45,760 --> 00:27:49,040
Why are they so stupid?
454
00:27:49,080 --> 00:27:51,960
Didn't he know
that I would've protected him?
455
00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:53,920
At least until my lessons were complete.
456
00:27:53,960 --> 00:27:55,760
I want to be through by 2:30 or earlier.
457
00:27:55,800 --> 00:27:59,640
There's no reason why we can't continue.
I prefer you all at the table.
458
00:27:59,680 --> 00:28:01,520
- There will be a buffet lunch.
- Excellent.
459
00:28:01,560 --> 00:28:04,440
Settle down, we're moving along.
You have the overall idea...
460
00:28:04,480 --> 00:28:07,360
...but it's clear some areas
will evacuate swiftly...
461
00:28:07,400 --> 00:28:10,160
- What about our friends the Italians?
- The Italians.
462
00:28:10,200 --> 00:28:13,080
We must all trust the good Lord
to save us from our Italian friends.
463
00:28:13,120 --> 00:28:15,920
In the last analysis,
if they don't purge their Jews...
464
00:28:15,960 --> 00:28:19,800
...we'll go down and accomplish it
and put their priorities in order.
465
00:28:20,800 --> 00:28:23,680
In France, even where we aren't occupying,
they'll ship their Jews out.
466
00:28:23,720 --> 00:28:25,560
Here is another problem.
467
00:28:25,600 --> 00:28:29,440
The Foreign Ministry sees
difficulty in evacuating too fast...
468
00:28:29,480 --> 00:28:31,840
...in Scandinavia, as you say, Lapland.
469
00:28:31,880 --> 00:28:34,200
Unless we tie up a lot more troops there...
470
00:28:34,240 --> 00:28:37,120
...troops which we need
for the Russian campaign, Moscow...
471
00:28:37,160 --> 00:28:39,040
...the Scandinavians will not cooperate.
472
00:28:39,080 --> 00:28:40,920
What do you see for the rest of Europe?
473
00:28:40,960 --> 00:28:43,840
The Foreign Ministry sees
no difficulty with the Balkans...
474
00:28:43,880 --> 00:28:47,160
...Southeast and Western
Europe. This is very good.
475
00:28:47,720 --> 00:28:48,600
- Sir.
- Yes?
476
00:28:48,640 --> 00:28:51,520
The Race and Settlement main office
is planning on sending an expert...
477
00:28:51,560 --> 00:28:54,360
...to Hungary for general
orientation on our policies.
478
00:28:54,400 --> 00:28:58,240
I think that should take place at the
same time as you send your advisor.
479
00:28:58,280 --> 00:29:00,120
It will put some iron in the glove,
so to speak.
480
00:29:00,160 --> 00:29:04,000
The glove is iron, and there should be
no confusion as to where policy emanates.
481
00:29:06,880 --> 00:29:09,760
I should hope that established
relationships will be maintained.
482
00:29:09,800 --> 00:29:11,680
If they are productive,
but not if they are not...
483
00:29:11,720 --> 00:29:15,520
...if I may speak for the group.
484
00:29:18,400 --> 00:29:22,200
- It is not my intention...
- What is your intention?
485
00:29:22,240 --> 00:29:26,080
The work done by our department.
Our particular expert is prepared...
486
00:29:26,120 --> 00:29:27,960
We both serve the Führer,
he gave me the command.
487
00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:29,880
I suggest your advisor serve as
an assistant to my man.
488
00:29:29,920 --> 00:29:33,760
That preserves the relative powers
of our offices, does it not?
489
00:29:39,520 --> 00:29:43,320
Yes, it certainly does.
That is how it should be.
490
00:29:43,360 --> 00:29:47,200
I will leave it to you, then,
to be in touch with Col. Eichmann?
491
00:29:47,240 --> 00:29:51,000
Yes.
492
00:29:51,040 --> 00:29:53,920
Settled. Moving along.
Now, a difficult problem.
493
00:29:53,960 --> 00:29:55,800
My instinct is to be Alexandrian...
494
00:29:55,840 --> 00:29:59,680
...and solve a difficult tangle
with a sharp, clean stroke this afternoon.
495
00:29:59,720 --> 00:30:01,560
All our actions must be predicated on law.
496
00:30:01,600 --> 00:30:03,520
Everything we've done
is from the Nuremberg Laws...
497
00:30:03,560 --> 00:30:07,400
...which Dr. Stuckart brought forth
to the Reichstag in 1935.
498
00:30:07,440 --> 00:30:09,280
We now have to examine
the Blood and Honor laws...
499
00:30:09,320 --> 00:30:13,120
...in regard to the problems of mixed
marriages and persons of mixed blood.
500
00:30:14,120 --> 00:30:17,960
Not only who is a Jew,
but how, in each defined circumstance...
501
00:30:18,000 --> 00:30:21,800
...the Jew is expunged from society,
the government, the economy...
502
00:30:21,840 --> 00:30:22,720
...through ordinances.
503
00:30:22,760 --> 00:30:25,600
The tapestry, if you'll permit some pride.
504
00:30:25,640 --> 00:30:29,480
The exemptions written into the law allow
too many Jews to remain among us.
505
00:30:30,440 --> 00:30:34,280
We address that problem by examining
each category and every exemption.
506
00:30:35,240 --> 00:30:37,120
There's been communication
with the Chancellery Head...
507
00:30:37,160 --> 00:30:40,040
...Lammers, who discussed these
questions with the Führer.
508
00:30:40,080 --> 00:30:42,440
You asked why you are here.
You represent him.
509
00:30:42,480 --> 00:30:44,800
And your own opinion.
We would like that, too.
510
00:30:44,840 --> 00:30:48,680
Lammers has indeed met with the Führer
or his staff on this question...
511
00:30:48,720 --> 00:30:49,600
...and reached an understanding.
512
00:30:49,640 --> 00:30:53,480
Dr. Kritzinger, can we come
to a further understanding here?
513
00:30:54,440 --> 00:30:55,360
What can we all agree on?
514
00:30:55,400 --> 00:30:59,240
What I would like agreed here is that
mixed-blood persons of the first degree...
515
00:31:00,200 --> 00:31:04,040
...they have two Jewish grandparents,
they are half-Jews...
516
00:31:04,080 --> 00:31:06,880
...they are just Jews. They go.
Their children go.
517
00:31:06,920 --> 00:31:10,760
There are, in the law, as of now,
two exceptions. If you would...
518
00:31:10,800 --> 00:31:14,600
For first-degree mixed,
if married to Germans with children...
519
00:31:14,640 --> 00:31:15,520
...they're exempted.
520
00:31:15,560 --> 00:31:18,920
Their children, second-degree mixed,
would be treated as Germans.
521
00:31:18,960 --> 00:31:22,280
The other exception is first-degree mixed
who the Reich has chosen...
522
00:31:22,320 --> 00:31:24,160
...to honor with privilege
for whatever reason.
523
00:31:24,200 --> 00:31:27,080
We are talking here of men and women
who live as Germans.
524
00:31:27,120 --> 00:31:30,880
They do not worship
or behave as Jews, but...
525
00:31:30,920 --> 00:31:33,800
...have some quantity of blood.
- The genetic Jew.
526
00:31:33,840 --> 00:31:36,680
In those cases,
we'll examine each determination...
527
00:31:36,720 --> 00:31:38,560
...and perhaps revoke their exemption.
528
00:31:38,600 --> 00:31:41,480
- The Nuremberg Laws...
- Whoever receives exemption...
529
00:31:41,520 --> 00:31:45,320
...better have extraordinary merits,
not just a German parent, husband or wife.
530
00:31:46,320 --> 00:31:50,160
Those who are exempt from evacuation,
they too will fall in certain categories...
531
00:31:50,200 --> 00:31:51,080
Could you, General... Sorry.
532
00:31:51,120 --> 00:31:54,920
I have the real feeling I evacuated 30,000
Jews already, by shooting them at Riga.
533
00:31:57,840 --> 00:32:00,680
Is what I did evacuation?
534
00:32:00,720 --> 00:32:04,520
When they fell, were they evacuated?
535
00:32:04,560 --> 00:32:08,400
There are another 20,000, at least,
waiting for similar evacuation.
536
00:32:10,320 --> 00:32:14,160
I just think it is helpful to know
what words mean.
537
00:32:15,120 --> 00:32:18,960
With all respect.
538
00:32:20,880 --> 00:32:23,760
If I might, I think it's unnecessary
to burden the record...
539
00:32:23,800 --> 00:32:27,600
Yes. In my personal opinion,
they are evacuated.
540
00:32:27,640 --> 00:32:29,480
- Explain.
- I have just done so.
541
00:32:29,520 --> 00:32:32,400
That is contrary to what
the Chancellery has been told.
542
00:32:32,440 --> 00:32:36,240
I have directly been assured!
543
00:32:38,160 --> 00:32:42,000
Purge the Jews, yes.
But to annihilate them...
544
00:32:44,880 --> 00:32:48,720
That we have undertaken
to systematically...
545
00:32:48,760 --> 00:32:50,640
...annihilate all the Jews of Europe?
546
00:32:50,680 --> 00:32:53,480
No. That possibility...
547
00:32:53,520 --> 00:32:57,360
...has personally been denied to me
by the Führer.
548
00:33:00,240 --> 00:33:04,080
And it will continue to be.
549
00:33:35,800 --> 00:33:39,600
Yes, I understand.
550
00:33:41,560 --> 00:33:44,400
Yes.
551
00:33:44,440 --> 00:33:48,280
He will continue to deny it.
552
00:33:49,240 --> 00:33:52,080
My apologies.
553
00:33:52,120 --> 00:33:55,960
Do you accept my apologies?
554
00:33:57,880 --> 00:33:59,320
Of course.
555
00:33:59,360 --> 00:34:00,800
So very kind.
556
00:34:01,720 --> 00:34:05,080
- Close the doors, please.
- Those mixed in the first degree.
557
00:34:05,120 --> 00:34:08,440
Yes, those mixed in the first degree,
who are exempted...
558
00:34:08,480 --> 00:34:10,320
...will be sterilized.
559
00:34:10,360 --> 00:34:14,160
May I just point out,
in regard to special exemptions...
560
00:34:14,200 --> 00:34:17,080
...it's widely known,
I've heard the opinion expressed myself...
561
00:34:17,120 --> 00:34:19,920
...that there are 80 million good Germans...
562
00:34:19,960 --> 00:34:23,800
...and each one knows his "decent Jew,"
even if he regards all the rest as vermin.
563
00:34:24,760 --> 00:34:28,600
If there are decent Jews, then before they
are decent and indeed after, they are Jews.
564
00:34:29,560 --> 00:34:31,440
No. First-degree exempted
will be sterilized.
565
00:34:31,480 --> 00:34:35,320
No more children, and eventually,
no more mixed blood, once and for all.
566
00:34:35,360 --> 00:34:37,200
It is important to know what words mean.
567
00:34:37,240 --> 00:34:39,120
But it's important to remember
in 1,000 years...
568
00:34:39,160 --> 00:34:43,000
...no matter who holds the power,
history will be written in those words.
569
00:34:43,960 --> 00:34:47,800
Do you expect the men serenely
to submit to being sterilized?
570
00:34:47,840 --> 00:34:51,600
Why not?
They've already had their cocks clipped.
571
00:34:51,640 --> 00:34:54,520
It's voluntary. One can lose
one's possibility to reproduce...
572
00:34:54,560 --> 00:34:56,400
...or one can be evacuated.
573
00:34:56,440 --> 00:35:00,320
If a first-mixed is sterilized, of course,
the Nuremberg restrictions don't apply.
574
00:35:00,360 --> 00:35:04,160
- The Nuremberg Laws are very specific...
- When I am done.
575
00:35:04,200 --> 00:35:06,040
Thank you. Please.
576
00:35:06,080 --> 00:35:08,960
As to second-degree mixed,
those born to a half-Jew and German...
577
00:35:09,000 --> 00:35:11,800
...or one-quarter Jew,
three-quarters German, equals German.
578
00:35:11,840 --> 00:35:15,680
With exceptions: If both parents are
mixed-blood, the child's a Jew.
579
00:35:15,720 --> 00:35:19,520
If the child looks or sounds Jewish,
even with only one-quarter mixed...
580
00:35:19,560 --> 00:35:20,480
When that blood is dominant.
581
00:35:20,520 --> 00:35:22,360
Then he is a Jew.
582
00:35:22,400 --> 00:35:25,280
Third: A mixed-second with
a criminal or political record...
583
00:35:25,320 --> 00:35:28,160
Excuse me, sir, is this a second or a third?
584
00:35:28,200 --> 00:35:30,040
A mixed-second.
585
00:35:30,080 --> 00:35:31,960
- Third exception.
- Third exception.
586
00:35:32,000 --> 00:35:34,880
In other words, he that behaves like a Jew
will be considered as such.
587
00:35:34,920 --> 00:35:38,240
If any of these second-mixed exceptions
marry a German...
588
00:35:38,280 --> 00:35:41,560
...then they will be evacuated,
no special dispensations.
589
00:35:41,600 --> 00:35:45,440
- The marriage laws are very complex...
- Mixed marriages include German relatives.
590
00:35:45,480 --> 00:35:49,280
They have a vested interest in the couple,
also in children born to the marriage.
591
00:35:49,320 --> 00:35:51,160
So here it is.
592
00:35:51,200 --> 00:35:54,080
Marriages between mixed-firsts and
Germans, if they have had no children...
593
00:35:54,120 --> 00:35:56,920
...depending on repercussions
on the German side...
594
00:35:56,960 --> 00:35:59,840
...either the half-Jew is evacuated,
or to the old-age ghetto.
595
00:35:59,880 --> 00:36:03,640
- Theresienstadt.
- Possibly. Somewhere.
596
00:36:03,680 --> 00:36:07,520
The same holds true for the full-blood Jew
with a German wife or husband.
597
00:36:07,560 --> 00:36:10,360
If there are children,
if the rules classify them as Jews...
598
00:36:10,400 --> 00:36:14,200
...they go with the Jew parent, evacuation
or ghetto, depending on the case.
599
00:36:14,240 --> 00:36:18,080
If they're classified as German, that spares
both the child and the Jew parent.
600
00:36:18,120 --> 00:36:20,000
Jews of first-mixed
married to first-mixed are Jews.
601
00:36:20,040 --> 00:36:21,880
Children as well, treated as such.
602
00:36:21,920 --> 00:36:24,760
First-mixed married to second-mixed
and children, the same.
603
00:36:24,800 --> 00:36:28,640
Unless they're exempted by special
considerations, they are gone.
604
00:36:28,680 --> 00:36:32,480
Otherwise to the ghetto,
possibly Theresienstadt.
605
00:36:34,400 --> 00:36:38,240
In all cases,
the SS will be the determining agency.
606
00:36:44,040 --> 00:36:47,840
No question lingers in your mind
about that, does it?
607
00:36:54,600 --> 00:36:56,480
Sterilization will be a growth industry.
608
00:36:56,520 --> 00:36:59,400
Who would not choose infertility
to avoid evacuation?
609
00:36:59,440 --> 00:37:02,280
- They would never know.
- Would never know what?
610
00:37:02,320 --> 00:37:05,160
If you use a word other than "sterilize"...
611
00:37:05,200 --> 00:37:07,080
You think they would never know?
612
00:37:07,120 --> 00:37:08,520
It is simply a matter of secrecy.
613
00:37:08,560 --> 00:37:09,920
The smell of blood carries very far.
614
00:37:09,960 --> 00:37:13,800
I find the plan unworkable.
I find the plan personally insulting.
615
00:37:14,760 --> 00:37:18,120
I have given years to codifying the laws
regarding interracial marriage.
616
00:37:18,160 --> 00:37:21,480
Now I'm presented with this clumsy,
forgive me, unworkable structure.
617
00:37:24,360 --> 00:37:27,240
My work, these laws,
any legal code worthy of the name...
618
00:37:27,280 --> 00:37:30,120
...restricts the enforcers of law
as well as its subjects.
619
00:37:30,160 --> 00:37:33,960
There are some things you cannot do.
620
00:37:35,880 --> 00:37:37,760
As you see it.
621
00:37:37,800 --> 00:37:41,640
What I see is all I have to contribute here.
622
00:37:42,600 --> 00:37:46,440
Let me offer a modification,
a simple change we can all accept.
623
00:37:47,400 --> 00:37:49,280
Maybe this helps the outline.
624
00:37:49,320 --> 00:37:53,160
Sir, what you have suggested,
and not to put too fine a point on it...
625
00:37:54,120 --> 00:37:57,000
...you have said the half-mixed
will be eliminated.
626
00:37:57,040 --> 00:38:00,800
- Evacuated.
- "Evacuated. " My mistake.
627
00:38:00,840 --> 00:38:04,680
That is a wholesale departure
from the law. But my suggestion...
628
00:38:04,720 --> 00:38:06,560
Yes, which is?
629
00:38:06,600 --> 00:38:10,440
I say the half-mixed should get
the choice we talked about...
630
00:38:10,480 --> 00:38:13,280
...to be either sterilized or taken away.
631
00:38:13,320 --> 00:38:17,200
Does that not come closer to the spirit,
at least, of the Nuremberg Law?
632
00:38:17,240 --> 00:38:20,040
- Dr. Stuckart, does it?
- No.
633
00:38:20,080 --> 00:38:23,880
Sorry, no. Sterilization is promising...
634
00:38:23,920 --> 00:38:27,240
...but attempting a supersession
of what are clearly defined laws...
635
00:38:27,280 --> 00:38:30,600
...in order to impose all these
subjective evaluations, it's like...
636
00:38:31,600 --> 00:38:34,440
Forgive me,
it is like the imposing of ad hoc law.
637
00:38:34,480 --> 00:38:37,360
Depending on subjective evaluations,
as to if he looks Jewish...
638
00:38:37,400 --> 00:38:40,240
...or has a Jewish personality,
or whatever else...
639
00:38:40,280 --> 00:38:43,080
...is subject to interpretation
and variation...
640
00:38:43,120 --> 00:38:46,000
...including the assertions
of the damned Jew himself.
641
00:38:46,040 --> 00:38:48,880
What does this do?
It subverts the Nuremberg Laws...
642
00:38:48,920 --> 00:38:50,760
...and perpetuates disrespect for the law.
643
00:38:50,800 --> 00:38:52,680
I think we are basing
our proposals carefully...
644
00:38:52,720 --> 00:38:55,600
No, with all due respect and all frankness,
it's a tangle.
645
00:38:55,640 --> 00:38:57,480
And this is not pride of authorship.
646
00:38:57,520 --> 00:39:01,360
I'm simply reacting to the bureaucratic
train wreck that's to follow.
647
00:39:03,280 --> 00:39:07,120
Please, it is simply solved.
Sterilize them all.
648
00:39:10,960 --> 00:39:14,800
We could call it "medical re-socialization"
or something.
649
00:39:14,840 --> 00:39:15,720
We can find ways.
650
00:39:15,760 --> 00:39:19,560
The biological necessities
are all met. My...
651
00:39:19,600 --> 00:39:23,440
The Nuremberg Laws are respected,
a simple procedure...
652
00:39:23,480 --> 00:39:24,400
A snip here, a snip there...
653
00:39:24,440 --> 00:39:26,280
This is not a joke!
654
00:39:26,320 --> 00:39:28,200
- It is not...
- X-rays.
655
00:39:28,240 --> 00:39:32,040
- That is how you do it.
- Exactly how?
656
00:39:32,080 --> 00:39:35,880
You have this X-ray machine
built into a counter or a desk.
657
00:39:35,920 --> 00:39:39,760
Some unfortunate Jew stands at attention
in front of the desk, and...
658
00:39:40,720 --> 00:39:41,640
I am not coming to your office.
659
00:39:41,680 --> 00:39:45,520
So you either raise the desk
or lower the desk, depending on...
660
00:39:47,440 --> 00:39:48,360
A certain subterfuge...
661
00:39:48,400 --> 00:39:51,280
- I do not know if it sterilizes the female.
- A technical question.
662
00:39:51,320 --> 00:39:53,160
Not voluntary, you're saying?
663
00:39:53,200 --> 00:39:56,080
Every Jew, of whatever degree,
whoever betrothed to...
664
00:39:56,120 --> 00:39:59,480
...however mixed,
whatever service to the state.
665
00:39:59,520 --> 00:40:02,800
You're saying
we don't need to evacuate them...
666
00:40:02,840 --> 00:40:05,720
- We pinch off the race at this generation.
- The Reich's law...
667
00:40:05,760 --> 00:40:08,600
We make the law we need.
Why am I telling you this?
668
00:40:08,640 --> 00:40:11,440
How many lawyers are in this room?
Raise your hand.
669
00:40:17,240 --> 00:40:21,080
Jesus Christ. It's worse than I thought.
670
00:40:21,120 --> 00:40:24,880
The children, what then for them?
671
00:40:24,920 --> 00:40:26,840
You just line them up
in front of their desks...
672
00:40:26,880 --> 00:40:29,720
...and X-rays toast their little gonads.
673
00:40:30,840 --> 00:40:33,520
If I might, for perspective:
674
00:40:33,560 --> 00:40:37,400
We have already been using sterilization
for the mentally defective...
675
00:40:37,440 --> 00:40:39,280
...since 1939 in our T4 program.
676
00:40:39,320 --> 00:40:43,120
- T4?
- "Euthanasia" is the correct term, yes?
677
00:40:43,160 --> 00:40:46,000
Yes. Reichsführer Himmler
discussed it with the General.
678
00:40:46,040 --> 00:40:49,880
Apparently, a doctor at the biological
institute in Dresden has a simple injection.
679
00:40:50,840 --> 00:40:52,720
You can father no children.
680
00:40:52,760 --> 00:40:55,640
- Where can I get it?
- It would be useful with the ladies.
681
00:40:55,680 --> 00:40:56,560
"I am fixed, my dear. "
682
00:40:56,600 --> 00:40:59,440
Of course,
it is as yet only tested with mice and rats.
683
00:40:59,480 --> 00:41:03,320
Actually, you would not need the injection,
just the papers to say that you had had it.
684
00:41:07,160 --> 00:41:10,520
I have figures, but they're not exact.
685
00:41:10,560 --> 00:41:13,200
Between 1933 and 1936, roughly 169,000...
686
00:41:13,240 --> 00:41:15,760
...and by now, to date, possibly 300,000...
687
00:41:15,800 --> 00:41:18,680
...under the Law for the Protection
of German Blood...
688
00:41:18,720 --> 00:41:21,520
...have been sterilized by various methods.
689
00:41:21,560 --> 00:41:25,400
X- rays, injecting some corrosive chemical
directly into the womb...
690
00:41:26,360 --> 00:41:30,200
Yes, this was only for the Reich itself,
not occupied territories.
691
00:41:30,240 --> 00:41:34,000
- Yes.
- Yes.
692
00:41:34,040 --> 00:41:35,960
Are they fit for labor after these methods?
693
00:41:36,000 --> 00:41:39,800
With the X-rays, it's a problem of dosage.
Less a problem, I think, with the women.
694
00:41:42,720 --> 00:41:44,600
Less a problem with the women.
695
00:41:44,640 --> 00:41:47,520
Secretary Bühler makes
an important point.
696
00:41:47,560 --> 00:41:50,360
- Labor.
- Yes, exactly. Labor.
697
00:41:50,400 --> 00:41:52,280
I'm not implying
that our problems are the same...
698
00:41:52,320 --> 00:41:56,120
...as in the Eastern Territories,
but the need for workers...
699
00:41:56,160 --> 00:41:59,960
...as the military need men,
the need for production is only growing.
700
00:42:00,960 --> 00:42:04,800
That is why sterilization is
the preferred option.
701
00:42:06,720 --> 00:42:08,600
It leaves our captive workforce,
what remains of it...
702
00:42:08,640 --> 00:42:12,480
I do not think our people want to wait
a generation to end this problem.
703
00:42:12,520 --> 00:42:16,320
We have deferred Jews by the thousands
in armaments, construction.
704
00:42:18,240 --> 00:42:21,080
Wait, I can give you an exemplar.
705
00:42:21,120 --> 00:42:24,960
It's just a quote from a letter
from the Debruder Public Company...
706
00:42:25,000 --> 00:42:27,800
...but there are many companies...
707
00:42:27,840 --> 00:42:30,680
The sound of his voice,
and the sun goes down.
708
00:42:30,720 --> 00:42:34,560
- The specialist for I. G. Farben...
- I do not think you understand...
709
00:42:34,600 --> 00:42:37,400
Over 10,000 Jews
in the metal industry alone...
710
00:42:37,440 --> 00:42:41,280
...about 19,000 altogether in Berlin,
and that's just Berlin...
711
00:42:41,320 --> 00:42:45,120
...failing our production goals, even now,
for the war!
712
00:42:46,080 --> 00:42:48,960
He makes a point.
We are moving too fast here.
713
00:42:49,000 --> 00:42:50,840
Nothing has been thought through.
714
00:42:50,880 --> 00:42:53,760
The questions of sterilization
and deportation are separate.
715
00:42:53,800 --> 00:42:56,600
- Yes, but linked.
- Deportation, evacuation, elimination.
716
00:42:56,640 --> 00:42:59,520
Where I am, we have to move them out
now, quickly, wipe them away.
717
00:42:59,560 --> 00:43:01,400
- Yeah, not to return.
- Never to return.
718
00:43:01,440 --> 00:43:04,280
There are labor shortages
in the Reich and elsewhere we control.
719
00:43:04,320 --> 00:43:08,160
- There is no argument about that.
- Everywhere, and in our four-year plan...
720
00:43:08,200 --> 00:43:11,000
Not that fucking four-year plan again.
721
00:43:11,040 --> 00:43:13,880
But our war is against the Jews.
I do not see the logic...
722
00:43:13,920 --> 00:43:17,800
We won't sterilize them and wait until they
die, or sterilize and exterminate the race.
723
00:43:17,840 --> 00:43:20,640
That's farcical.
Dead people don't hump or get pregnant.
724
00:43:20,680 --> 00:43:24,480
Death is the most reliable form
of sterilization. Put it that way.
725
00:43:28,360 --> 00:43:32,160
So who is deferred?
726
00:43:32,200 --> 00:43:36,040
First-degree mixed married to Germans
with second-degree children are exempt.
727
00:43:36,080 --> 00:43:38,880
Individually, first-degree mixed
who have special privilege.
728
00:43:38,920 --> 00:43:41,800
- For labor, if needed...
- I can't give a rule for everything.
729
00:43:41,840 --> 00:43:44,640
Can I just say one word more?
730
00:43:44,680 --> 00:43:48,520
In the obligation
to maintain a lawful society...
731
00:43:48,560 --> 00:43:50,400
Another lecture.
732
00:43:50,440 --> 00:43:52,320
...what we would be saying to those...
733
00:43:52,360 --> 00:43:55,240
Where we depart from the law
in deporting a Jew married...
734
00:43:55,280 --> 00:43:57,120
Good! Deport them!
735
00:43:57,160 --> 00:44:00,040
- A new law will be required...
- Write it! Why don't you write it?
736
00:44:00,080 --> 00:44:03,840
Consider: The Jews are taken away.
737
00:44:03,880 --> 00:44:06,760
The German spouses will inherit
the property of the Jewish spouses...
738
00:44:06,800 --> 00:44:09,640
...go to court,
and apply for a death certificate.
739
00:44:09,680 --> 00:44:11,520
What happens to your secret killings then?
740
00:44:11,560 --> 00:44:15,400
No matter what you call them,
the secret is out, dear friends.
741
00:44:16,360 --> 00:44:20,200
Perhaps not inheritance.
Perhaps divorce, freedom to remarry.
742
00:44:20,240 --> 00:44:22,080
So a requisite divorce mechanism...
743
00:44:22,120 --> 00:44:24,000
...dealing with these marriages
to be terminated...
744
00:44:24,040 --> 00:44:27,880
...becomes the Reich's responsibility
to its German citizens.
745
00:44:27,920 --> 00:44:31,720
- Fuck.
- I am speaking.
746
00:44:32,680 --> 00:44:34,560
Except for those initiated before
the spouse is deported...
747
00:44:34,600 --> 00:44:38,440
...the courts will be so busy with divorces,
they'll be on 24-hour shifts.
748
00:44:38,480 --> 00:44:42,240
- The litigation wait will be decades.
- Or longer.
749
00:44:42,280 --> 00:44:46,120
I have no sympathy with Germans who
climbed in bed with members of the tribe.
750
00:44:46,160 --> 00:44:49,920
Nor do I.
I ask myself, "What is his concern?"
751
00:44:49,960 --> 00:44:52,800
When the ruling principle
of our government and our party...
752
00:44:52,840 --> 00:44:56,680
...is to make Germany Jew-free,
you are arguing to let these Yids stay?
753
00:44:57,680 --> 00:45:01,480
To influence, to operate freely,
with the exception that you neuter them?
754
00:45:02,480 --> 00:45:04,360
They are not free.
755
00:45:04,400 --> 00:45:07,280
The law restricts them, it isolates them.
I am merely speaking of...
756
00:45:07,320 --> 00:45:11,120
- Perhaps the judge has love for them.
- Yes, special love.
757
00:45:11,160 --> 00:45:14,920
For whom? For Jews?
758
00:45:14,960 --> 00:45:17,800
Wonderful. You don't have my credentials.
759
00:45:17,840 --> 00:45:21,680
Forgive me. From your uniform,
I can see that you're shallow...
760
00:45:21,720 --> 00:45:22,600
...ignorant, and naive about the Jews.
761
00:45:22,640 --> 00:45:26,440
Your line, what the Party rants on about...
762
00:45:26,480 --> 00:45:29,360
...is how inferior they are,
some subspecies...
763
00:45:29,400 --> 00:45:32,200
...and I keep saying how wrong that is!
764
00:45:32,240 --> 00:45:36,080
They are sublimely clever!
And they are intelligent as well.
765
00:45:38,000 --> 00:45:40,880
My indictments to them are stronger
because they are real...
766
00:45:40,920 --> 00:45:41,800
...not your uneducated ideology.
767
00:45:41,840 --> 00:45:45,680
They are arrogant, self-obsessed,
calculating and reject the Christ.
768
00:45:45,720 --> 00:45:47,560
I won't have them pollute German blood.
769
00:45:47,600 --> 00:45:49,520
- Please, Doctor.
- He doesn't understand.
770
00:45:49,560 --> 00:45:51,400
And neither do his people.
771
00:45:51,440 --> 00:45:55,280
Deal with the reality of the Jew,
and the world will applaud us.
772
00:45:56,240 --> 00:46:00,080
Treat them as imaginary phantoms,
evil, inhuman fantasies...
773
00:46:00,120 --> 00:46:03,000
...and the world will have
justified contempt for us.
774
00:46:03,040 --> 00:46:05,840
To kill them without regard for the law
martyrs them...
775
00:46:05,880 --> 00:46:07,720
...which will be their victory.
776
00:46:07,760 --> 00:46:11,600
Sterilization recognizes them
as a part of our species...
777
00:46:11,640 --> 00:46:15,440
...but prevents them from being
a part of our race.
778
00:46:16,400 --> 00:46:17,320
They'll disappear soon enough.
779
00:46:17,360 --> 00:46:20,240
And we will have acted in defense
of our race and of our species...
780
00:46:20,280 --> 00:46:22,120
...and by the law.
781
00:46:22,160 --> 00:46:25,040
He spoke of the Law
for the Protection of German Blood.
782
00:46:25,080 --> 00:46:26,920
I wrote that law.
783
00:46:26,960 --> 00:46:29,840
When you have my credentials,
then we'll discuss...
784
00:46:29,880 --> 00:46:33,680
...who loves the Jews and who hates them.
785
00:46:33,720 --> 00:46:37,520
Pigs don't know how to hate.
786
00:46:37,560 --> 00:46:40,400
I know, too,
when it comes to the half-mixed...
787
00:46:40,440 --> 00:46:44,240
...that to kill them abandons
that half of their blood which is German.
788
00:46:45,240 --> 00:46:47,120
I'll remember you.
789
00:46:47,160 --> 00:46:50,960
You should. I'm very well known.
790
00:46:52,920 --> 00:46:55,800
- We should take a moment just to...
- Absolutely.
791
00:46:55,840 --> 00:46:57,680
If I may, for a moment.
792
00:46:57,720 --> 00:47:01,560
Dr. Stuckart has raised the question of
administrative consequences of evacuation.
793
00:47:02,520 --> 00:47:05,360
He is a very brilliant scholar of the law...
794
00:47:05,400 --> 00:47:09,240
...and, I'm sure, just as totally committed
to a Jew-free Europe as any of us.
795
00:47:11,160 --> 00:47:14,520
Let us take a moment.
796
00:47:14,560 --> 00:47:17,880
Go on with the food.
797
00:47:31,320 --> 00:47:33,200
More lemon.
798
00:47:33,240 --> 00:47:37,080
If you are suggesting that you have
dominion over me, just remember this:
799
00:47:38,040 --> 00:47:41,880
Even the Party,
which I have served loyally since 1922...
800
00:47:41,920 --> 00:47:43,760
...answers to the government.
801
00:47:43,800 --> 00:47:47,640
They both answer to the Führer.
You may be a friend of Göring...
802
00:47:47,680 --> 00:47:51,040
...but if you're a betting man,
put your money on Bormann.
803
00:47:51,080 --> 00:47:54,360
Hear you've been flying
that little plane of yours.
804
00:47:54,400 --> 00:47:56,240
This morning, yes.
805
00:47:56,280 --> 00:47:59,120
I'm never comfortable off the ground.
Not me, I admit.
806
00:47:59,160 --> 00:48:02,040
Nietzsche advises the secret
to enjoying life is to live dangerously.
807
00:48:02,080 --> 00:48:04,880
He enjoyed it so much he went mad.
808
00:48:04,920 --> 00:48:07,800
Look at the world,
and tell me the pleasures of sanity.
809
00:48:07,840 --> 00:48:08,720
Excuse me, Doctor.
810
00:48:08,760 --> 00:48:12,600
Would you join me for a moment?
Thank you.
811
00:48:29,920 --> 00:48:31,800
We will accomplish this.
812
00:48:31,840 --> 00:48:35,680
I will not allow administrative
technicalities to slow it down.
813
00:48:35,720 --> 00:48:39,480
Every agency will jump to follow my order,
or arses will sting.
814
00:48:39,520 --> 00:48:43,360
And there are no shortages of meat hooks
on which to hang enemies of the state.
815
00:48:46,240 --> 00:48:49,080
This will be an SS operation.
816
00:48:49,120 --> 00:48:52,960
And as the war goes on, the SS will
more and more command the agenda...
817
00:48:53,000 --> 00:48:56,800
...and put marks against the names
of the less than cooperative.
818
00:48:56,840 --> 00:48:57,720
You have a choice to make.
819
00:48:57,760 --> 00:49:00,640
You understand that I respect the...
820
00:49:00,680 --> 00:49:02,520
Please.
821
00:49:02,560 --> 00:49:04,480
You will still have to make your choice.
822
00:49:04,520 --> 00:49:06,360
Do not let a strutting...
823
00:49:06,400 --> 00:49:10,240
...imbecilic, porcine prick
like Klopfer make it for you.
824
00:49:11,200 --> 00:49:13,080
I'd rather not see the bullies...
825
00:49:13,120 --> 00:49:16,000
...I admit we have more
than our share of them in the SS...
826
00:49:16,040 --> 00:49:19,840
...take too much of an interest in you.
827
00:49:20,800 --> 00:49:24,600
- Interest in me?
- Do you not think?
828
00:49:24,640 --> 00:49:28,000
And all I want from this meeting
is unanimity...
829
00:49:28,040 --> 00:49:31,360
...and no trouble
getting what has to be done, done.
830
00:49:32,320 --> 00:49:36,160
With you at my side, so much is possible.
831
00:49:47,680 --> 00:49:48,600
I've done this arithmetic.
832
00:49:48,640 --> 00:49:52,480
The real size of the labor force is already
a million less than the figures show.
833
00:49:52,520 --> 00:49:55,400
The economic considerations are not
the only considerations.
834
00:49:55,440 --> 00:49:58,240
I'll say they're not.
Have you done the extrapolations?
835
00:49:58,280 --> 00:50:02,080
My friend, with due respect,
may I say, "Fuck the extrapolations"?
836
00:50:05,960 --> 00:50:09,760
I hope you understand,
I want to be as useful as I can.
837
00:50:10,760 --> 00:50:14,560
- We must be in contact.
- Exactly.
838
00:50:18,440 --> 00:50:22,240
No one listens.
839
00:50:22,280 --> 00:50:26,080
From where he sits,
he does not have the ghettoes or the stink.
840
00:50:26,120 --> 00:50:29,960
And he's burglarizing administrative
control from the Governor-General.
841
00:50:30,000 --> 00:50:32,800
- Privileges of rank.
- I don't hear any urgency.
842
00:50:32,840 --> 00:50:36,680
Privileges of rank. The higher you go,
the more infallibility is bestowed.
843
00:50:36,720 --> 00:50:39,560
But I don't hear any
cut-the-bureaucracy solutions.
844
00:50:39,600 --> 00:50:41,440
Our problems.
845
00:50:41,480 --> 00:50:44,360
You're right.
He does not have our problems.
846
00:50:44,400 --> 00:50:46,240
Crap. "The privileges of rank. "
847
00:50:46,280 --> 00:50:50,120
All that matters is the SS blood group
tattooed under your arm.
848
00:50:50,160 --> 00:50:52,040
That's a secret password for you people.
849
00:50:52,080 --> 00:50:53,920
What are these suspicions?
850
00:50:53,960 --> 00:50:57,800
I will tell you this: When cholera hits
the ghettoes, and typhoid...
851
00:50:57,840 --> 00:51:01,640
...your tattoos won't protect you
from shitting your guts out...
852
00:51:01,680 --> 00:51:03,520
...until you dry up and die.
853
00:51:03,560 --> 00:51:07,360
Then tell me about infallibility.
854
00:51:07,400 --> 00:51:10,760
Those little Nuremberg country sausages,
the gritty little ones.
855
00:51:10,800 --> 00:51:14,120
- You can keep your oysters. What is that?
- Can you get them here?
856
00:51:15,080 --> 00:51:16,960
- Lange?
- Yes, sir?
857
00:51:17,000 --> 00:51:20,840
Who were those 30,000 you say you shot,
when you say you shot?
858
00:51:21,800 --> 00:51:23,680
In Riga, Latvia.
859
00:51:23,720 --> 00:51:27,560
27,800 I have some responsibility for.
860
00:51:28,520 --> 00:51:32,360
And stood by with my men and allowed
Latvian civilians to kill in mobs.
861
00:51:34,320 --> 00:51:38,120
I received memos directing the,
one would say, "evacuation" of Jews...
862
00:51:39,120 --> 00:51:42,920
...who, shot and buried in soil and corpses,
managed to crawl out, still alive.
863
00:51:45,840 --> 00:51:48,680
Not exactly war, is it?
864
00:51:48,720 --> 00:51:52,560
- And gas chambers about to come?
- What gas chambers?
865
00:51:52,600 --> 00:51:54,440
Gas chambers?
866
00:51:54,480 --> 00:51:58,320
I hear rumors, yes.
867
00:52:00,240 --> 00:52:04,040
This is more than war.
868
00:52:04,080 --> 00:52:07,920
- Must be a different word for this.
- Try "chaos. "
869
00:52:07,960 --> 00:52:11,760
Yes. The rest is argument,
the curse of my profession.
870
00:52:12,400 --> 00:52:14,600
I studied law as well.
871
00:52:14,640 --> 00:52:17,520
How do you apply that education
to what you do?
872
00:52:17,560 --> 00:52:21,360
It has made me distrustful of language.
873
00:52:22,320 --> 00:52:26,160
A gun means what it says.
874
00:52:27,120 --> 00:52:29,000
Do we need all this discussion?
875
00:52:29,040 --> 00:52:32,880
- He has his style.
- Yes. Very persuasive.
876
00:52:34,800 --> 00:52:37,680
Is there a problem, Doctor?
877
00:52:37,720 --> 00:52:40,560
He is non compos mentis.
878
00:52:54,000 --> 00:52:57,840
- It's your boss.
- On your feet.
879
00:53:01,680 --> 00:53:05,480
Beautiful lake. Is it not? I'm sorry.
880
00:53:05,520 --> 00:53:09,360
After the war, I shall live in this house
and rise to see that lake every day...
881
00:53:10,320 --> 00:53:14,160
...and dream comforting things.
882
00:53:14,200 --> 00:53:18,000
I am a dreamer, as I think you are.
883
00:53:19,000 --> 00:53:20,880
Yes, it is a dream world.
884
00:53:20,920 --> 00:53:23,800
Maj. Lange, how can I help you?
885
00:53:23,840 --> 00:53:25,680
Politics is a nasty game.
886
00:53:25,720 --> 00:53:29,520
I think soldiering requires the discipline
to do the unthinkable...
887
00:53:30,520 --> 00:53:33,360
...and politics requires the skill...
888
00:53:33,400 --> 00:53:36,760
...to get someone else
to do the unthinkable for you.
889
00:53:36,800 --> 00:53:40,120
But we need the politics,
so we put up with them.
890
00:53:41,080 --> 00:53:42,960
- At least for now.
- Yes.
891
00:53:43,000 --> 00:53:46,840
We look forward to a better day.
892
00:53:46,880 --> 00:53:48,720
A peaceful world.
893
00:53:48,760 --> 00:53:52,120
A German culture triumphant.
894
00:53:52,160 --> 00:53:55,240
That is what we work for.
895
00:53:55,280 --> 00:53:58,320
I appreciate the words, sir.
896
00:53:58,360 --> 00:54:01,720
We are servant-soldiers, are we not?
897
00:54:01,760 --> 00:54:05,080
- Yes, that is what we are.
- Indeed.
898
00:54:07,960 --> 00:54:09,880
Did you ask him?
899
00:54:09,920 --> 00:54:11,760
Ask him what?
900
00:54:11,800 --> 00:54:15,640
- Does he have a little Jewish blood?
- No, not yet.
901
00:54:16,600 --> 00:54:20,440
Inform me when he answers.
902
00:54:25,240 --> 00:54:27,120
That's what I heard.
903
00:54:27,160 --> 00:54:30,040
A grandmother or a grandfather.
904
00:54:30,080 --> 00:54:32,880
His father.
905
00:54:32,920 --> 00:54:36,760
That's the rumor, and if it is true,
how happy would he be to tell you?
906
00:54:38,680 --> 00:54:41,520
- I want a work document in two days.
- Yes.
907
00:54:41,560 --> 00:54:44,400
- No more than 30 copies.
- Yes, sir. 30 numbered.
908
00:54:44,440 --> 00:54:48,280
And those spools, the stenotype record,
have it destroyed.
909
00:54:49,240 --> 00:54:50,200
Yes, sir.
910
00:54:50,240 --> 00:54:54,040
- Let's get them back in here.
- All right.
911
00:54:56,000 --> 00:54:58,880
- Who's up there, sir?
- Dr. Klopfer.
912
00:54:58,920 --> 00:55:00,760
Kritzinger is...
913
00:55:00,800 --> 00:55:04,600
The gentleman outside walking: Find him.
914
00:55:12,320 --> 00:55:16,160
Sir?
915
00:55:17,120 --> 00:55:20,960
It has got colder.
916
00:55:25,760 --> 00:55:29,560
What a pretty little maid.
917
00:55:29,600 --> 00:55:33,440
I would like to remind all of you
that our Führer enunciates the goals.
918
00:55:33,480 --> 00:55:36,280
It is our task to turn
his vision into reality.
919
00:55:36,320 --> 00:55:39,200
We can debate the "how"
and the "when" up to a point.
920
00:55:39,240 --> 00:55:42,040
We can not debate the "if," Dr. Stuckart.
921
00:55:42,080 --> 00:55:45,920
- I am not purposely contentious.
- Nor was I trying to be insulting.
922
00:55:48,800 --> 00:55:52,640
I would like to try...
923
00:55:57,440 --> 00:56:01,280
We will now discuss method.
Who would like to speak on this?
924
00:56:02,240 --> 00:56:04,120
What is being advocated here?
925
00:56:04,160 --> 00:56:08,000
A law dissolving all marriages
between mixed and German?
926
00:56:08,040 --> 00:56:09,880
- Why not?
- Courts adjust.
927
00:56:09,920 --> 00:56:11,840
As we all do. That is not the point.
928
00:56:11,880 --> 00:56:13,720
You're too inflexible, my friend.
929
00:56:13,760 --> 00:56:17,560
You know damn well the courts will be
happy to be rid of the problem.
930
00:56:17,600 --> 00:56:21,440
I'm pointing out a problem of casting every
Jew and non-Jew into a sausage machine.
931
00:56:21,480 --> 00:56:25,280
If that's the plan, I'm asking
that some legal framework be built.
932
00:56:25,320 --> 00:56:27,200
Let's do it. If we skip
a few steps, so be it.
933
00:56:27,240 --> 00:56:29,080
"Skip a few steps!"
934
00:56:29,120 --> 00:56:32,040
When you plane down a piece of wood,
a few chips go flying.
935
00:56:32,080 --> 00:56:33,960
Jews or judges, who are the chips?
936
00:56:34,000 --> 00:56:36,800
I would like to say...
937
00:56:36,840 --> 00:56:40,640
...in this discussion,
regarding the tone, first...
938
00:56:41,640 --> 00:56:45,440
...abandon your misperception that
Dr. Stuckart has affection for the Jews.
939
00:56:45,480 --> 00:56:49,280
I'm sure he does not, and his heart is pure.
He believes in supremacy of law.
940
00:56:51,240 --> 00:56:53,120
Jews...
941
00:56:53,160 --> 00:56:56,960
...in any event,
will vanish soon enough from Germany.
942
00:56:57,960 --> 00:57:01,320
But the method, yes.
943
00:57:01,360 --> 00:57:04,640
You accept, casually...
944
00:57:04,680 --> 00:57:07,520
...the obliteration of legal distinctions...
945
00:57:07,560 --> 00:57:10,400
...and the use of extreme,
inconceivable measures...
946
00:57:10,440 --> 00:57:14,280
...that, I say again, that our Chancellery
was assured would not be used.
947
00:57:15,240 --> 00:57:18,080
That is where we have come.
948
00:57:18,120 --> 00:57:21,960
A soldier cannot decide
where he chooses to fight.
949
00:57:22,000 --> 00:57:22,880
Where are we here?
950
00:57:22,920 --> 00:57:25,800
Gen. Heydrich invited your opinions
on the methodology.
951
00:57:25,840 --> 00:57:26,720
Indeed.
952
00:57:26,760 --> 00:57:28,640
I can say this.
953
00:57:28,680 --> 00:57:32,520
You're going to have your work cut out
with the Catholic church...
954
00:57:32,560 --> 00:57:34,400
...with the Reich divorcing
all those Catholics.
955
00:57:34,440 --> 00:57:37,320
That's not going to make
our priests very comfortable...
956
00:57:37,360 --> 00:57:38,240
...or the Vatican.
957
00:57:38,280 --> 00:57:42,120
The Vatican has no love for the Jew.
Why should they interfere?
958
00:57:42,160 --> 00:57:44,040
The Lutherans would not object either.
959
00:57:44,080 --> 00:57:45,920
I agree with Dr. Stuckart.
960
00:57:45,960 --> 00:57:49,800
The problems outweigh
the short-term ideological satisfactions.
961
00:57:49,840 --> 00:57:52,680
Military necessity comes first.
Am I wrong?
962
00:57:52,720 --> 00:57:54,560
Why can this not be simpler?
963
00:57:54,600 --> 00:57:58,440
The Ministry of Justice, which I represent,
can live with it gladly.
964
00:57:59,400 --> 00:58:03,240
Maj. Lange, an opinion?
965
00:58:03,280 --> 00:58:05,120
General...
966
00:58:05,160 --> 00:58:09,040
...I accept the chain of command.
I have no other gods before it.
967
00:58:09,080 --> 00:58:12,880
The politics of it all...
968
00:58:12,920 --> 00:58:13,800
No, nothing.
969
00:58:13,840 --> 00:58:16,720
- We are more than a nation of armies.
- I hope.
970
00:58:16,760 --> 00:58:18,600
General?
971
00:58:18,640 --> 00:58:22,480
If Dr. Stuckart is saying we should turn
a few Jew-loving Germans against us...
972
00:58:22,520 --> 00:58:25,320
...I would happily throw them all
on the same transport.
973
00:58:25,360 --> 00:58:28,240
It is, however, a political decision,
not mine particularly to make.
974
00:58:28,280 --> 00:58:31,120
Can you step back from trying
to settle these details today?
975
00:58:31,160 --> 00:58:33,520
Other agencies will want to be heard.
976
00:58:33,560 --> 00:58:35,880
Now, that is wisdom from my neighbor.
977
00:58:35,920 --> 00:58:39,760
I favor sterilization, I think,
but not wholesale...
978
00:58:40,720 --> 00:58:44,520
...what Gen. Heydrich outlined earlier.
Why not?
979
00:58:44,560 --> 00:58:48,400
X- rays, injections: Why are we discussing
theoretical solutions?
980
00:58:48,440 --> 00:58:52,240
Goethe said that theories are gray,
but that real life is green.
981
00:58:52,280 --> 00:58:55,080
Stop chattering, and be realists here.
982
00:58:55,120 --> 00:58:58,000
I insist, as I have before,
that the best way is the quickest way.
983
00:58:58,040 --> 00:59:01,840
Purge them totally off our land,
ideally, off our planet.
984
00:59:04,720 --> 00:59:08,080
And for the Eastern Territories,
leave us able-bodied workers.
985
00:59:08,120 --> 00:59:11,440
If they are separated,
the men from the women, QED, no babies.
986
00:59:11,480 --> 00:59:14,320
And evacuate the others, as you outlined.
987
00:59:14,360 --> 00:59:16,200
Get it done.
988
00:59:16,240 --> 00:59:19,120
All right, we've gone around.
989
00:59:19,160 --> 00:59:21,000
I have your opinions.
990
00:59:21,040 --> 00:59:24,400
I want to move on.
Let's have the food in here.
991
00:59:24,440 --> 00:59:27,560
I wish to keep going.
We can eat while we work.
992
00:59:27,600 --> 00:59:30,600
To clarify what I agree with
and what I do not...
993
00:59:30,640 --> 00:59:33,520
...I agree with the doctor about
the complications of all the variations.
994
00:59:33,560 --> 00:59:37,360
But I favor deportation
or sausage-making, right?
995
00:59:39,280 --> 00:59:43,120
I hear talk from some of you who live here
in Germany about labor force.
996
00:59:43,160 --> 00:59:45,560
What is the reality,
at least for the Polish Jews?
997
00:59:45,600 --> 00:59:47,880
Damn few of them are fit
for labor of any kind.
998
00:59:47,920 --> 00:59:50,520
You do not find Jews with
dirt under their fingernails,
999
00:59:50,560 --> 00:59:51,760
so who is this labor force?
1000
00:59:52,760 --> 00:59:55,600
What we have are ghettoes
filled and overfilled...
1001
00:59:55,640 --> 00:59:59,480
...with the scabrous, the rotting.
We do not have the food for them.
1002
00:59:59,520 --> 01:00:02,360
The stink of their diseases
does not stop at the walls.
1003
01:00:02,400 --> 01:00:05,240
And you ship them up to us
by the thousands to deal with.
1004
01:00:05,280 --> 01:00:07,120
What are we to do?
1005
01:00:07,160 --> 01:00:10,000
We have no place to put them.
1006
01:00:10,040 --> 01:00:12,920
We have no more place to put our own.
We cannot shoot 3.5 million Jews.
1007
01:00:12,960 --> 01:00:15,760
We cannot poison them,
and we cannot use them.
1008
01:00:15,800 --> 01:00:18,680
You'll have Maj. Lange and his men
come in with their special methods.
1009
01:00:18,720 --> 01:00:22,520
- How many Rigas do we have to have?
- Build the wall higher.
1010
01:00:23,480 --> 01:00:27,280
What we are asking, before you flood us
with all of these Jews...
1011
01:00:27,320 --> 01:00:31,160
...let us first clean out ours, empty our
ghettoes into whatever you have for them.
1012
01:00:31,200 --> 01:00:34,000
Military, too.
1013
01:00:34,040 --> 01:00:36,920
Mass shootings by our groups
create morale problems...
1014
01:00:36,960 --> 01:00:38,800
...especially when the Jew is
a German Jew...
1015
01:00:38,840 --> 01:00:41,680
...who is intellectually superior
to the Russian Jew.
1016
01:00:41,720 --> 01:00:45,560
Even with local civilians cooperating,
mass slaughter leaves a bad taste.
1017
01:00:45,600 --> 01:00:47,440
I can so testify.
1018
01:00:47,480 --> 01:00:50,360
We've had to deal with the backlash
when it comes to German ones.
1019
01:00:50,400 --> 01:00:53,200
If your method of disposing
all the Jews diverts military units...
1020
01:00:53,240 --> 01:00:57,080
...and rolling stock from the Eastern Front,
then it is a stupid choice.
1021
01:00:57,120 --> 01:00:59,960
Recognizing the priority
for ridding ourselves of the Jews...
1022
01:01:00,000 --> 01:01:02,840
I'm not arguing priority,
but method and expediency.
1023
01:01:02,880 --> 01:01:05,680
I'm sorry, why can't you shoot them?
1024
01:01:05,720 --> 01:01:09,560
Didn't you hear him? It is the worst thing
for our soldiers to be doing.
1025
01:01:09,600 --> 01:01:12,440
They are women and children,
and soldiers have a sense of honor.
1026
01:01:12,480 --> 01:01:14,320
Plenty of honor in following orders.
1027
01:01:14,360 --> 01:01:17,240
- Would you like to volunteer?
- Enthusiastically.
1028
01:01:17,280 --> 01:01:19,120
- I will.
- You will not.
1029
01:01:19,160 --> 01:01:21,560
Eleven million, even half that,
executed in small batches...
1030
01:01:21,600 --> 01:01:24,720
...would be asinine,
for the reasons Dr. Meyer mentioned.
1031
01:01:24,760 --> 01:01:27,800
Inefficient use of time, troops,
equipment, bullets. No.
1032
01:01:27,840 --> 01:01:31,640
As Maj. Lange will learn,
using gas is much cheaper and less public.
1033
01:01:32,640 --> 01:01:35,480
Please.
1034
01:01:35,520 --> 01:01:38,400
The T4 euthanasia program
has used injections...
1035
01:01:38,440 --> 01:01:41,280
...but most effectively...
1036
01:01:41,320 --> 01:01:44,120
...a carbon-monoxide gas.
1037
01:01:44,160 --> 01:01:47,960
We began using it on Polish mental
patients in Brandenburg in January, 1940.
1038
01:01:48,960 --> 01:01:52,760
An area is constructed
that resembles a shower room or a bath.
1039
01:01:53,760 --> 01:01:57,560
The subjects are brought in naked,
as though for a shower...
1040
01:01:57,600 --> 01:02:01,440
...and outside, stainless-steel tanks
pump in pure carbon monoxide...
1041
01:02:01,480 --> 01:02:05,280
...which, what it does is...
1042
01:02:07,200 --> 01:02:11,040
I have figures.
1043
01:02:12,960 --> 01:02:16,800
In May, this program was extended
to Hartheim and in June at Sonnenstein.
1044
01:02:16,840 --> 01:02:20,640
In the first six months of 1940,
8,765 persons were gassed.
1045
01:02:21,600 --> 01:02:25,400
By the end of 1940, a total of 26,459.
1046
01:02:25,440 --> 01:02:28,280
By the end of August last year,
another 35,049.
1047
01:02:28,320 --> 01:02:32,160
We terminated this particular program,
however, on September 1.
1048
01:02:32,200 --> 01:02:36,000
In the end,
70,273 have been gassed by this method.
1049
01:02:36,040 --> 01:02:39,800
At this time,
we began the advanced program.
1050
01:02:39,840 --> 01:02:43,640
- The General Government knew nothing...
- Keep going.
1051
01:02:43,680 --> 01:02:47,520
Last summer, we ordered the construction
of 20 mobile gassing trucks...
1052
01:02:47,560 --> 01:02:50,440
...using their redirected exhaust
back into the chamber.
1053
01:02:50,480 --> 01:02:53,240
Three such trucks have been in use
since last month.
1054
01:02:53,280 --> 01:02:57,120
- But the Chelmno camp, now Kulmhof...
- Already constructed, under our noses.
1055
01:02:58,080 --> 01:03:00,960
In each truck,
you can get in 40 to 60 Jews at a time.
1056
01:03:01,000 --> 01:03:03,840
In fact, the more you have in,
the faster it works.
1057
01:03:03,880 --> 01:03:05,720
And the...
1058
01:03:05,760 --> 01:03:09,640
...carbon monoxide, what it does is...
1059
01:03:09,680 --> 01:03:12,480
The bodies come out pink.
1060
01:03:12,520 --> 01:03:15,400
- The gas turns them pink.
- That's a nice touch.
1061
01:03:15,440 --> 01:03:18,280
If it is already built,
what is this meeting?
1062
01:03:18,320 --> 01:03:22,080
Why bother?
1063
01:03:22,120 --> 01:03:24,960
The system has shown that it works.
1064
01:03:25,000 --> 01:03:28,800
It will work for you. It is settling in.
1065
01:03:29,800 --> 01:03:32,640
The method is now defined.
1066
01:03:32,680 --> 01:03:36,520
The Jews go in red and come out pink.
That is progress.
1067
01:03:40,360 --> 01:03:42,280
I should never mix wine with whiskey.
1068
01:03:42,320 --> 01:03:46,080
What's the matter?
1069
01:03:46,120 --> 01:03:48,000
I think I will be all right.
1070
01:03:48,040 --> 01:03:50,920
Don't make excuses
if you have to leave for a minute.
1071
01:03:50,960 --> 01:03:52,840
Sort of a headache.
1072
01:03:52,880 --> 01:03:56,680
Hurry.
1073
01:04:01,480 --> 01:04:05,320
Eat.
1074
01:04:06,280 --> 01:04:10,120
- Fucking ridiculous!
- Not at all, sir.
1075
01:04:10,160 --> 01:04:13,960
- It could not be the mixing.
- The cigar?
1076
01:04:14,000 --> 01:04:17,800
Everything all right, sir?
1077
01:04:18,760 --> 01:04:20,640
Could be the cigar.
1078
01:04:20,680 --> 01:04:24,520
I could never abide them.
And my father would chew them.
1079
01:04:24,560 --> 01:04:27,400
His mouth was always full
of evil juice and pulp!
1080
01:04:27,440 --> 01:04:31,240
It would fill up, and he would have to spit!
1081
01:04:31,280 --> 01:04:32,200
I would leave it there, sir.
1082
01:04:32,240 --> 01:04:35,040
Cigarettes...
1083
01:04:35,080 --> 01:04:37,480
...they calm me down.
1084
01:04:37,520 --> 01:04:40,640
Settle my stomach.
1085
01:04:40,680 --> 01:04:43,720
They calm me down.
1086
01:04:44,680 --> 01:04:48,520
The problem is,
there are not enough of them in the world.
1087
01:04:54,320 --> 01:04:58,120
- We should be in there, should we not?
- Yes.
1088
01:05:00,080 --> 01:05:03,880
Sir?
1089
01:05:09,680 --> 01:05:11,560
- Is this clean?
- Yes, sir.
1090
01:05:11,600 --> 01:05:14,480
- Let me have a glass of water.
- I brought some out, sir.
1091
01:05:14,520 --> 01:05:16,360
I'm not addressing you.
1092
01:05:16,400 --> 01:05:20,240
- And a bromide tablet of some kind.
- You did not like the food?
1093
01:05:22,160 --> 01:05:24,040
I did not eat.
1094
01:05:24,080 --> 01:05:27,920
- I know of no philosophy...
- Philosophy clutters your argument.
1095
01:05:29,840 --> 01:05:32,680
We have to countenance the suffocating
glut of this parasitic people...
1096
01:05:32,720 --> 01:05:36,560
...consuming our food, contaminating
our professions, controlling our currency.
1097
01:05:36,600 --> 01:05:38,440
- None of that is true.
- In your philosophy.
1098
01:05:38,480 --> 01:05:41,320
Perhaps that's what the chosen people
were chosen for.
1099
01:05:41,360 --> 01:05:45,200
No, I apologize. You take a position,
you deserve a response.
1100
01:05:46,160 --> 01:05:48,040
It is a cold winter.
1101
01:05:48,080 --> 01:05:51,440
The war, in spite of the rallies,
posters and the radio...
1102
01:05:51,480 --> 01:05:54,800
...looks like a longer, harder war.
The Jews are in the way.
1103
01:05:56,720 --> 01:06:00,560
And how can I, one rather peripheral figure
in your grand plan, be in your way?
1104
01:06:02,480 --> 01:06:06,320
You underestimate your influence.
I do not.
1105
01:06:06,360 --> 01:06:10,160
You would be a hard man to bring down.
1106
01:06:10,200 --> 01:06:14,000
But certainly not impossible.
1107
01:06:14,960 --> 01:06:17,840
Did I hear you say earlier, "Be practical"?
1108
01:06:17,880 --> 01:06:18,760
Yes.
1109
01:06:18,800 --> 01:06:21,640
Then this is the moment to be practical...
1110
01:06:21,680 --> 01:06:25,520
...until a time when Germany
can afford your philosophy, which is what?
1111
01:06:25,560 --> 01:06:29,400
"Hound them, impoverish them,
exploit them, imprison them...
1112
01:06:29,440 --> 01:06:33,240
"... just do not kill them. "
And you are God's noblest of men.
1113
01:06:33,280 --> 01:06:37,040
I find that truly remarkable.
1114
01:06:38,040 --> 01:06:41,840
Sitting at that table, I will ask for your
agreement to what has been proposed.
1115
01:06:42,840 --> 01:06:44,720
And I must answer now?
1116
01:06:44,760 --> 01:06:48,560
You will answer now,
or you will answer later.
1117
01:06:50,520 --> 01:06:51,440
I will not oppose you.
1118
01:06:51,480 --> 01:06:55,320
- I want more than that.
- Of course.
1119
01:06:55,360 --> 01:06:56,240
Good.
1120
01:06:56,280 --> 01:06:58,680
We understand each other.
1121
01:06:58,720 --> 01:07:01,040
May I tell you a story?
1122
01:07:01,080 --> 01:07:04,920
- A good one?
- A true one.
1123
01:07:04,960 --> 01:07:07,760
Tell me the story.
1124
01:07:07,800 --> 01:07:11,640
- It was told to me by a friend of mine.
- Yes?
1125
01:07:11,680 --> 01:07:12,560
He knew a man...
1126
01:07:12,600 --> 01:07:16,440
Do you realize how much thought and
effort has gone into the Four-Year Plan?
1127
01:07:16,480 --> 01:07:18,320
Plenty, I'm sure.
1128
01:07:18,360 --> 01:07:20,240
Reichsmarshal Göring is very clear.
1129
01:07:20,280 --> 01:07:23,160
The necessities of the war
mean that the Jew question has to wait.
1130
01:07:23,200 --> 01:07:25,040
There's been a new directive.
1131
01:07:25,080 --> 01:07:27,000
That says nothing about
a change in priorities.
1132
01:07:27,040 --> 01:07:27,920
- It is implied.
- Not by me.
1133
01:07:27,960 --> 01:07:29,880
Why is it your way or nothing?
I mean the SS.
1134
01:07:29,920 --> 01:07:32,760
- Now you understand.
- I do not.
1135
01:07:32,800 --> 01:07:33,680
You have stated it.
1136
01:07:33,720 --> 01:07:37,560
- When I report to the Reichsmarshal...
- There has been a new directive.
1137
01:07:38,520 --> 01:07:42,360
It has to be as the SS directs.
You can't sail a ship with two captains.
1138
01:07:42,400 --> 01:07:44,240
The Führer is the captain.
1139
01:07:44,280 --> 01:07:47,160
And for this,
he has given Heydrich the command.
1140
01:07:47,200 --> 01:07:50,080
Even Göring has given it.
1141
01:07:50,120 --> 01:07:52,880
- Resign yourself.
- Resign?
1142
01:07:52,920 --> 01:07:55,760
Yourself to how it's going to be done.
1143
01:07:55,800 --> 01:07:59,600
- A soldier cannot decide...
- Yeah, spare me.
1144
01:07:59,640 --> 01:08:02,520
A Communist, by definition,
has a defect of reason.
1145
01:08:02,560 --> 01:08:04,440
The Russian is not a Communist,
my friend.
1146
01:08:04,480 --> 01:08:07,360
The Russian does not give a damn
who runs things.
1147
01:08:07,400 --> 01:08:09,240
I have lived amongst them.
1148
01:08:09,280 --> 01:08:12,160
The Russian only cares
he has a bottle of vodka to suck...
1149
01:08:12,200 --> 01:08:14,040
...and some form of
domestic animal life to fuck.
1150
01:08:14,080 --> 01:08:17,880
Then he will happily sit in shit
his whole life. That is his politics.
1151
01:08:19,840 --> 01:08:21,760
I know those people.
1152
01:08:21,800 --> 01:08:24,160
That is the distinction.
1153
01:08:24,200 --> 01:08:26,520
I absolve the Jews of that.
1154
01:08:26,560 --> 01:08:28,440
- What did Kritzinger say?
- Told me a story.
1155
01:08:28,480 --> 01:08:31,360
- Which was?
- Later. He made his point, he feels better.
1156
01:08:31,400 --> 01:08:34,200
- Nothing to eat?
- Lf there's time later.
1157
01:08:34,240 --> 01:08:36,120
We should've had music.
There must be a piano here.
1158
01:08:36,160 --> 01:08:40,000
- A string trio would add to the experience.
- Yes, I should have. I'm sorry.
1159
01:08:40,040 --> 01:08:43,840
Food, wine, brandy, no music?
A little lovely, late Beethoven?
1160
01:08:43,880 --> 01:08:45,760
- I'm sorry.
- It would not have been practical.
1161
01:08:45,800 --> 01:08:49,560
- Yes.
- I'm teasing.
1162
01:08:49,600 --> 01:08:52,960
I take it that you do not get good food
up in Cracow.
1163
01:08:53,000 --> 01:08:56,280
If all Berlin eats like you,
no wonder we have shortages.
1164
01:08:56,320 --> 01:09:00,160
Was it Mussolini who said,
"War reveals man's nobler character"?
1165
01:09:00,200 --> 01:09:01,080
Are we ready?
1166
01:09:01,120 --> 01:09:03,520
- Feeling better?
- Thank you, yes.
1167
01:09:03,560 --> 01:09:05,920
- Something you ate?
- I'm fine.
1168
01:09:05,960 --> 01:09:07,800
The cigar.
1169
01:09:07,840 --> 01:09:09,760
- The cigar?
- Unexpected.
1170
01:09:09,800 --> 01:09:12,600
We will forego cigars.
1171
01:09:12,640 --> 01:09:15,480
That should be no great trial.
Where did we stop?
1172
01:09:15,520 --> 01:09:19,360
The last remark was by Gen. Freisler.
"The Jews go in red and come out pink.
1173
01:09:20,320 --> 01:09:22,200
- "That is progress. "
- The side-effect of CO gas.
1174
01:09:22,240 --> 01:09:26,040
There's more to say on that.
We're studying something faster...
1175
01:09:26,080 --> 01:09:29,920
...other faster and cheaper gases that
could be used. Cyanide is being tested...
1176
01:09:29,960 --> 01:09:31,880
...various forms.
- Electrocution, too?
1177
01:09:31,920 --> 01:09:33,720
There is research being done to see...
1178
01:09:33,760 --> 01:09:37,600
...whether electrocution
can even more effectively...
1179
01:09:38,560 --> 01:09:41,920
...quietly put an end,
a period to the end of the sentence.
1180
01:09:41,960 --> 01:09:45,240
Say one truckload an hour,
including putting the contents in...
1181
01:09:45,280 --> 01:09:49,120
...running the engines, removing the
contents, cleaning the inevitable soiling...
1182
01:09:50,120 --> 01:09:53,960
...on a 24-hour schedule,
1,440 a day times 20 trucks.
1183
01:09:54,000 --> 01:09:57,800
That's 28,800 a day...
1184
01:09:57,840 --> 01:10:01,600
...10,512,000 in one year.
1185
01:10:01,640 --> 01:10:04,520
But I cannot imagine you could operate
consistently at that rate.
1186
01:10:04,560 --> 01:10:06,400
Not to mention disposal.
1187
01:10:06,440 --> 01:10:08,320
Gas vans are a short-term field solution.
1188
01:10:08,360 --> 01:10:12,200
We have three camps where permanent
gas chambers will be operational.
1189
01:10:12,240 --> 01:10:13,120
I'm sorry?
1190
01:10:13,160 --> 01:10:16,520
Yes, I was about to mention Belzec,
Sobibor, and Treblinka...
1191
01:10:16,560 --> 01:10:19,880
...before Gen. Hofmann was taken ill.
- It was a fine cigar.
1192
01:10:19,920 --> 01:10:21,760
Ultimately,
the camps will be the primary locations.
1193
01:10:22,080 --> 01:10:25,640
Last summer, Reichsführer Himmler
asked me to visit a camp...
1194
01:10:25,680 --> 01:10:28,480
...up in Upper Silesia called Auschwitz...
1195
01:10:28,520 --> 01:10:31,400
...which is very well isolated
and close to significant rail access.
1196
01:10:31,440 --> 01:10:34,280
We are turning that camp into
a major center, solid structures.
1197
01:10:34,320 --> 01:10:37,680
Here's where your Jewish labor
comes into play, Herr Neumann.
1198
01:10:37,720 --> 01:10:40,960
The Jews hold the bricks,
and build the buildings themselves.
1199
01:10:41,000 --> 01:10:44,840
When the structures are complete,
we expect to be able to process 2,500...
1200
01:10:44,880 --> 01:10:47,720
...an hour, not a day.
1201
01:10:47,760 --> 01:10:51,560
An hour.
1202
01:10:54,440 --> 01:10:57,320
And those numbers look a lot better.
1203
01:10:57,360 --> 01:10:59,240
2,500 an hour?
1204
01:10:59,280 --> 01:11:00,160
2,500?
1205
01:11:00,200 --> 01:11:04,040
At 24 hours a day, that is 60,000.
1206
01:11:05,000 --> 01:11:08,800
60,000 each day.
1207
01:11:08,840 --> 01:11:11,720
That's 21.9 million Jews a year...
1208
01:11:11,760 --> 01:11:14,560
...if ever there were that many.
1209
01:11:14,600 --> 01:11:17,440
We are also constructing
the means of disposal...
1210
01:11:17,480 --> 01:11:20,360
...which will obviously depend upon
the process of combustion.
1211
01:11:20,400 --> 01:11:23,280
Yes, industrial in nature,
large, commercial gas-fed ovens...
1212
01:11:23,320 --> 01:11:27,080
...no residue to speak of.
1213
01:11:30,960 --> 01:11:34,800
60,000 Jews every day...
1214
01:11:34,840 --> 01:11:37,200
...go up in smoke.
1215
01:11:37,240 --> 01:11:39,600
We can achieve that.
1216
01:11:39,640 --> 01:11:43,400
Imagine.
1217
01:11:54,000 --> 01:11:55,880
Assembly line!
1218
01:11:55,920 --> 01:11:57,800
Yes, the clever Americans
have shown us that...
1219
01:11:57,840 --> 01:12:00,720
...but we put it to the purpose of
a triumphant German vision.
1220
01:12:00,760 --> 01:12:03,560
Triumphant German vision.
1221
01:12:03,600 --> 01:12:05,480
So this is my command to you here.
1222
01:12:05,520 --> 01:12:08,360
Link arms, your units, your ministries...
1223
01:12:08,400 --> 01:12:11,280
...apply your intelligence,
apply your energies.
1224
01:12:11,320 --> 01:12:14,120
The machinery is waiting, feed it.
1225
01:12:14,160 --> 01:12:17,960
Get them on the trains.
Keep the trains rolling.
1226
01:12:18,000 --> 01:12:20,880
And history will honor us for having
the will and the vision to advance...
1227
01:12:20,920 --> 01:12:24,720
...the human race to greater purity
in a space of time so short...
1228
01:12:24,760 --> 01:12:27,120
...Charles Darwin would be astonished.
1229
01:12:27,160 --> 01:12:29,480
I want to bring this meeting to a close.
1230
01:12:29,520 --> 01:12:32,880
One matter we postponed is
the point at which mixed becomes...
1231
01:12:32,920 --> 01:12:36,200
...wholly German or wholly Jew.
That line will be drawn quickly.
1232
01:12:36,240 --> 01:12:40,080
I am not trying to rewrite your law,
but I am invoking Führer's princip.
1233
01:12:40,120 --> 01:12:43,880
His word is above all written law.
1234
01:12:43,920 --> 01:12:45,800
Do we have any disputes left to face here...
1235
01:12:45,840 --> 01:12:49,680
...either with my authority
or with what we have agreed?
1236
01:12:51,600 --> 01:12:52,520
General?
1237
01:12:52,560 --> 01:12:54,440
Let us astonish Charles Darwin.
1238
01:12:54,480 --> 01:12:57,360
I second the motion.
It is our most important war.
1239
01:12:57,400 --> 01:13:00,200
Sir?
1240
01:13:00,240 --> 01:13:03,160
We are discussing the inevitable
and bringing it about...
1241
01:13:03,200 --> 01:13:05,040
...in the most practical way
under one command.
1242
01:13:05,080 --> 01:13:08,880
I have no dispute with that.
I understand the realities...
1243
01:13:09,880 --> 01:13:13,720
- With the understanding that...
- And indeed...
1244
01:13:13,760 --> 01:13:16,560
...count on my support.
1245
01:13:16,600 --> 01:13:20,400
With the understanding that consideration
will be given to my proposal, yes, proceed.
1246
01:13:22,360 --> 01:13:25,200
I defer to the SS.
1247
01:13:25,240 --> 01:13:27,120
If you are to do it, then force feed it.
Speed it along.
1248
01:13:27,160 --> 01:13:31,000
Our situation, such as in Warsaw,
is difficult, edging towards disastrous.
1249
01:13:31,960 --> 01:13:33,840
Thank you.
1250
01:13:33,880 --> 01:13:37,720
Yes, what can I say?
My enthusiasm is boundless.
1251
01:13:37,760 --> 01:13:40,560
- Obviously.
- Sorry?
1252
01:13:40,600 --> 01:13:43,480
I trust my enthusiasm is clear,
is apparent. Yes!
1253
01:13:43,520 --> 01:13:44,400
Neumann?
1254
01:13:44,440 --> 01:13:46,160
I'd like to know that adequate labor
1255
01:13:46,200 --> 01:13:48,280
will still be available,
especially skilled...
1256
01:13:49,240 --> 01:13:52,120
- On a case-by-case basis. Maj. Lange?
- Yes.
1257
01:13:52,160 --> 01:13:54,960
I urge that speed
that Dr. Meyer asked of you.
1258
01:13:55,000 --> 01:13:57,880
The Poles are not as disciplined
a population as we Germans.
1259
01:13:57,920 --> 01:13:59,760
I will report our will
to the Governor-General.
1260
01:13:59,800 --> 01:14:02,680
He'll understand I'm relieving him
of a burden. Colonel?
1261
01:14:02,720 --> 01:14:04,560
I thoroughly approve
and am anxious to start.
1262
01:14:04,600 --> 01:14:08,440
I look forward to working with your office,
and yours, Colonel.
1263
01:14:08,480 --> 01:14:12,280
The sooner, the better.
1264
01:14:15,160 --> 01:14:19,000
- The note-taking, General?
- I think we can now dispense with him.
1265
01:14:19,040 --> 01:14:22,840
Many of you took notes,
I'll give you the day to memorize them.
1266
01:14:22,880 --> 01:14:23,760
They are to be burned.
1267
01:14:23,800 --> 01:14:27,640
Col. Eichmann will prepare
a discrete transcript of this meeting.
1268
01:14:27,680 --> 01:14:28,560
You will each receive a copy.
1269
01:14:28,600 --> 01:14:31,480
It may be shown to superiors,
but to no one at a lower level.
1270
01:14:31,520 --> 01:14:34,360
All comments are to be sent,
in the most privileged way, to me...
1271
01:14:34,400 --> 01:14:38,200
...through Col. Eichmann.
1272
01:14:41,080 --> 01:14:43,000
Good.
1273
01:14:43,040 --> 01:14:45,440
We have accomplished something.
1274
01:14:45,480 --> 01:14:47,840
I thank all of you gentlemen.
1275
01:14:47,880 --> 01:14:49,720
Heil Hitler!
1276
01:14:49,760 --> 01:14:53,560
There is plenty of food left
for those of you, and please...
1277
01:14:54,560 --> 01:14:58,360
- Are you off, General?
- I have a few minutes. Come.
1278
01:15:10,880 --> 01:15:13,760
Leave him. His Führer lied to him.
I think he got the message.
1279
01:15:13,800 --> 01:15:17,600
General, just a word.
1280
01:15:18,560 --> 01:15:22,400
In here.
1281
01:15:29,120 --> 01:15:31,960
Stop it!
1282
01:15:32,000 --> 01:15:34,880
You. What are you doing?
You're in uniform.
1283
01:15:34,920 --> 01:15:37,760
I'm sorry, sir, it just seemed to happen.
1284
01:15:37,800 --> 01:15:38,680
Not in uniform.
1285
01:15:38,720 --> 01:15:41,560
Nothing ever just happens.
1286
01:15:41,600 --> 01:15:44,480
If you prefer,
we can send you to the Russian front.
1287
01:15:44,520 --> 01:15:48,320
Clean off these cars!
1288
01:15:54,080 --> 01:15:56,000
- Are you leaving tonight?
- Yes.
1289
01:15:56,040 --> 01:15:57,880
Not another night in Berlin?
1290
01:15:57,920 --> 01:15:59,800
You have nothing to do, sir. I have.
1291
01:15:59,840 --> 01:16:03,680
- You surprised me at the end, Dr. Stuckart.
- Not my intention.
1292
01:16:06,560 --> 01:16:08,440
Leave the paper tapes with me.
1293
01:16:08,480 --> 01:16:11,360
We'll begin transcribing tomorrow,
but leave the tapes with me now.
1294
01:16:11,400 --> 01:16:15,200
- You want all the tapes, sir?
- Yes, all of them.
1295
01:16:16,160 --> 01:16:19,520
Dr. Stuckart's car!
1296
01:16:19,560 --> 01:16:22,840
Are you unwell?
1297
01:16:22,880 --> 01:16:26,720
Good night, Dr. Stuckart.
1298
01:16:27,720 --> 01:16:31,520
My car.
1299
01:16:33,480 --> 01:16:37,280
Gen. Hofmann's car!
1300
01:16:42,120 --> 01:16:45,960
It is night in Moscow already.
1301
01:16:46,000 --> 01:16:49,760
Soon, it will be dark here.
1302
01:16:49,800 --> 01:16:53,640
Do you think we'll ever see
the dawn in our lifetime?
1303
01:16:54,600 --> 01:16:58,440
Come spring, we'll be on the move again.
Keep you spirits up, Doctor.
1304
01:16:58,480 --> 01:16:59,360
The Governor-General has...
1305
01:16:59,400 --> 01:17:03,200
...specifically been told
that we would be the first area...
1306
01:17:03,240 --> 01:17:06,120
...to have our ghettos emptied,
the Jews evacuated. The possible...
1307
01:17:06,160 --> 01:17:08,040
I know the conditions, but you are wrong.
1308
01:17:08,080 --> 01:17:10,920
The first to be cleansed is Germany.
1309
01:17:10,960 --> 01:17:12,800
Then you. Germany first.
1310
01:17:12,840 --> 01:17:16,640
- The bureaucratic...
- This is my operation, no bureaucrat...
1311
01:17:16,680 --> 01:17:19,560
...with his nose in the rule book
and hand on his cock will slow it down.
1312
01:17:19,600 --> 01:17:22,400
We'll be moving Jews in days, not weeks.
1313
01:17:22,440 --> 01:17:26,280
You can start writing up
your train schedules.
1314
01:17:27,240 --> 01:17:31,080
Schubert Quintet in C Major.
1315
01:17:32,040 --> 01:17:35,880
The adagio will tear your heart out.
1316
01:17:37,800 --> 01:17:40,200
Tell the Governor-General
to expect my call.
1317
01:17:40,240 --> 01:17:42,600
- Have we helped your problem?
- Yes, I hope so.
1318
01:17:42,640 --> 01:17:44,480
Good. You, sir?
1319
01:17:44,520 --> 01:17:47,400
- I'm sure trains will be available.
- Anything else?
1320
01:17:47,440 --> 01:17:49,280
You have been very patient.
1321
01:17:49,320 --> 01:17:53,160
Don't count on it.
Have a good ride to Cracow.
1322
01:17:53,200 --> 01:17:55,040
Thank you.
1323
01:17:55,080 --> 01:17:58,920
Well done, Colonel. Fine meeting.
1324
01:17:58,960 --> 01:18:00,840
Thank you.
1325
01:18:00,880 --> 01:18:01,800
Thank you as well.
1326
01:18:01,840 --> 01:18:05,640
I admire your gift for organization.
The meeting was very economical.
1327
01:18:08,560 --> 01:18:12,360
Now.
1328
01:18:13,360 --> 01:18:17,160
Do either of you think
we would have that final solution?
1329
01:18:17,200 --> 01:18:20,080
That in a year, there wouldn't be
a Jew left on the continent?
1330
01:18:20,120 --> 01:18:22,920
That we control? Why not?
1331
01:18:22,960 --> 01:18:25,840
- You drink, Eichmann?
- Yes, sir.
1332
01:18:25,880 --> 01:18:27,760
Were you ever drunk?
1333
01:18:27,800 --> 01:18:29,680
From time to time.
1334
01:18:29,720 --> 01:18:32,520
Well, then...
1335
01:18:32,560 --> 01:18:34,440
...take a fucking drink.
1336
01:18:34,480 --> 01:18:38,320
- I am on duty, sir.
- Then it's an order.
1337
01:18:38,360 --> 01:18:39,240
Thank you.
1338
01:18:39,280 --> 01:18:43,120
And tell us again about the pink bodies.
1339
01:18:45,040 --> 01:18:46,920
Sir, I'd rather not.
1340
01:18:46,960 --> 01:18:50,800
- The sounds, the screams.
- He will faint again.
1341
01:18:51,760 --> 01:18:55,600
I did not faint.
1342
01:18:57,520 --> 01:19:01,320
I had a physical symptom.
1343
01:19:01,360 --> 01:19:03,280
What was the story
you were going to tell me?
1344
01:19:03,320 --> 01:19:05,160
- Story?
- Kritzinger.
1345
01:19:05,200 --> 01:19:09,040
Yes, he told me a story about a man
he'd known all his life, a boyhood friend.
1346
01:19:10,000 --> 01:19:12,880
This man hated his father.
Loved his mother fiercely.
1347
01:19:12,920 --> 01:19:14,760
The mother was devoted to him...
1348
01:19:14,800 --> 01:19:17,640
...but the father beat him, demeaned him,
disinherited him.
1349
01:19:17,680 --> 01:19:21,520
Anyway, this boy grew to manhood and
was still in his 30s when the mother died...
1350
01:19:21,560 --> 01:19:25,360
...this mother who had nurtured
and protected him.
1351
01:19:26,320 --> 01:19:27,240
She died.
1352
01:19:27,280 --> 01:19:31,120
The man stood as they lowered
her casket and tried to cry...
1353
01:19:32,080 --> 01:19:34,920
...but no tears came.
1354
01:19:34,960 --> 01:19:38,800
The man's father lived to old age,
died when the son was in his 50s.
1355
01:19:39,760 --> 01:19:42,680
At the father's funeral,
much to his son's surprise...
1356
01:19:42,720 --> 01:19:46,480
...he could not control his tears.
1357
01:19:46,520 --> 01:19:50,320
He was wailing, sobbing.
He was apparently inconsolable.
1358
01:19:51,320 --> 01:19:54,160
Lost, even.
1359
01:19:54,200 --> 01:19:58,000
That was the story Kritzinger told me.
1360
01:19:59,960 --> 01:20:01,880
I don't understand.
1361
01:20:01,920 --> 01:20:03,760
No?
1362
01:20:03,800 --> 01:20:07,640
The man had been driven his whole life
by hatred of his father.
1363
01:20:07,680 --> 01:20:09,560
When the mother died, that was a loss.
1364
01:20:09,600 --> 01:20:11,440
When the father died...
1365
01:20:11,480 --> 01:20:14,360
...when the hate had lost its object...
1366
01:20:14,400 --> 01:20:17,240
...then the man's life was empty.
1367
01:20:17,280 --> 01:20:21,040
Over.
1368
01:20:21,080 --> 01:20:22,960
Interesting.
1369
01:20:23,000 --> 01:20:26,840
That was Kritzinger's warning.
1370
01:20:27,800 --> 01:20:30,680
What? That we should not hate
the Israelites?
1371
01:20:30,720 --> 01:20:33,520
No, that it should not so fill our lives...
1372
01:20:33,560 --> 01:20:37,400
...that when they are gone,
we have nothing left to live for.
1373
01:20:38,360 --> 01:20:42,200
So says the story.
1374
01:20:43,160 --> 01:20:47,000
I will not miss them.
1375
01:20:47,960 --> 01:20:50,800
Time.
1376
01:20:50,840 --> 01:20:53,720
You have to take me up
in that plane of yours sometime.
1377
01:20:53,760 --> 01:20:56,600
Yes, we should do that.
Not right after you've eaten.
1378
01:20:56,640 --> 01:21:00,440
- Friday.
- Everything will be prepared.
1379
01:21:02,360 --> 01:21:05,720
One working copy, edited by me,
for your approval.
1380
01:21:05,760 --> 01:21:09,080
30 copies, numbered.
No other records, I guarantee.
1381
01:21:18,680 --> 01:21:22,520
Good.
1382
01:21:41,760 --> 01:21:45,600
- You certainly know how to throw a party.
- Thank you.
1383
01:21:45,640 --> 01:21:49,440
Shalom.
1384
01:22:22,080 --> 01:22:25,920
Does it tear your heart out?
1385
01:22:27,840 --> 01:22:31,680
Beautiful, sir.
1386
01:22:33,600 --> 01:22:37,440
I've never understood the passion
for Schubert's sentimental Viennese shit.
1387
01:23:39,880 --> 01:23:43,720
Col. Eichmann carefully edited
the stenographic record of the conference.
1388
01:23:43,760 --> 01:23:46,600
Copies were distributed
to the participants to be read...
1389
01:23:46,640 --> 01:23:48,480
...and then destroyed.
1390
01:23:48,520 --> 01:23:51,880
Gen. Heydrich flew back
to his headquarters in Czechoslovakia...
1391
01:23:51,920 --> 01:23:55,240
...where, in a few terrible weeks,
he had earned the nickname:
1392
01:23:55,280 --> 01:23:58,080
The Butcher of Prague.
1393
01:23:58,120 --> 01:24:00,000
In the spring, two Czech patriots...
1394
01:24:00,040 --> 01:24:02,920
...trained to assassinate him
and dropped from a British bomber...
1395
01:24:02,960 --> 01:24:05,760
...succeeded in wounding him.
1396
01:24:05,800 --> 01:24:09,600
In reprisal, thousands of Czechs
were rounded up and shot.
1397
01:24:09,640 --> 01:24:13,480
Heydrich's wounds grew infected,
he fell into a coma and died.
1398
01:24:14,440 --> 01:24:17,280
Eichmann, as Heydrich's deputy
for Jewish affairs...
1399
01:24:17,320 --> 01:24:21,160
...was left to finish
what they had begun at Wannsee.
1400
01:24:21,200 --> 01:24:25,000
He considered it a matter of honor.
