Hitler 1962年作

'Company...halt!'

Hitler! Hitler!

Munich. November 9th, 1923.

Opposed by government forces

Adolf Hitler's visionary ideas of overthrowing

the Weimar Republic, and establishing himself

as dictator ended abruptly in his arrest

and conviction for treason.

During his imprisonment in Landsberg fortress

Hitler laid down the malevolent presets

which were to guide Nazi Germany.

A ruthless blueprint for political rape, genocide

and world conquest unequalled in the history of mankind.

'Unremittingly, we shall poison the relations'

'between the people and states of all countries.'

By envy and hatred, by struggle and warfare..

...and by spreading hunger, destitution and plagues

we shall bring all people to such a pass..

...that the only escape will lie in total submission

to our domination.

Shall I read it back, my Fuhrer?

No.

But, some of the language might be a bit too strong.

Abel, you still don't understand the purpose of this book.

I have no desire to give comfort to the church goers

the believers in democracy, the crooked legged Jew vermin.

To the parasitic scum who infest Germany

this will be a warning.

But a warning that they will never accept.

No.

Mein Kampf is for those who will follow me.

They will read it.

Believe it. Act upon it.

'Mein Fuhrer!'

Now, I have been listening to that drivel

for the last two days.

'You must think you are Caesar, Napoleon and Bismarck'

huh, all rolled up in one.

They must've made a mistake when they put you in here.

This is a prison. Not a mental institution.

What is your name?

Oh, so you can have me shot when you become

the lord of Germany.

It is Joseph Schonberg.

Lousy Jew!

There's not one drop of Jewish blood in me.

But you don't have to be a Jew to hold your nose

at the sewage pouring out of this imitation messiah.

The German people still believe in law and in order.

Here's a perfect example of what I just told you.

The world will not accept my warning.

Even when they hear it, they won't believe it.

They will be shouting the phrases about

decadent democracy as they are led to the slaughter.

Released from Landsberg fortress

on December 20th, 1924.

Hitler immediately plunged into the task of forging

the disbanded Nazi Party into an instrument which

would enable him to achieve his megalomaniac ambitions.

By 1928, tens of thousands, mesmerized by his

hypnotic fanaticism, had adopted Mein Kampf

as the Bible of national socialism

and Hitler as their savior.

For his disciples, Hitler selected those

who like himself, were among the uprooted and disinherited.

Crippled in mind and body, their lives could have meaning

in the unbalanced world of totalitarianism.

Among them were Herman Goering, a morphine addicted voluptuary

Ernst Rohm, a sadistic pervert

Heinrich Himmler, sinister, inhuman executioner

Joseph Goebbels, club footed vicious propagandist

Julius Streicher, whip carrying, rabid anti-Semite

swearing absolute allegiance.

Each of them had dedicated his life to Hitler

and the banner with the black swastika.

Still fearing imprisonment because of

the party's violent activities

Hitler provided himself with the means of escape

by renting a modest villa, overlooking the village

of Berchtesgaden, near the border of his native Austria.

To act as housekeeper and hostess

Hitler enlisted the services of his half sister

Angelika Raubal.

Angelika.

I often hoped we would see each other again.

And then your wonderful telegram came.

You should have seen my friends in Vienna when they found out

we were coming to live with you.

So, they were impressed, huh?

Impressed? All Austria is talking about you.

'This is Friedl, your niece.'

Hello, uncle.

I didn't mention it in my telegram.

But I really couldn't leave them alone in Vienna.

Of course not. Them?

You have been fooling with the travelling case

ever since we left Vienna.

Are you going to sit and laugh like a silly goose all day?

Pick up your clothing.

I haven't said hello to Uncle Adolph yet.

Hello, Uncle Adolph.

You know, my travelling cases don't seem to hold

as much as they used to.

Even when they are so carefully packed?

Adolph, you must not encourage her.

She will take advantage of you.

'You mentioned a house in your telegram.'

But I didn't expect anything like this.

'Girls, look at it.'

It's just beautiful.

I think you had better let Emil carry your bag.

Emil.

Oh, Uncle Adolph, please show us the house.

- Heil Hitler! - Heil Hitler!

Gentlemen..

Freidl and I were just doing the spring cleaning.

Adolph didn't tell me he was expecting you.

We didn't make an appointment.

However, it is necessary that we speak with him.

But he isn't home.

He and Geli left early this morning for a picnic.

Do you know where they might be?

They have several favorite places.

If you gentlemen will make yourselves comfortable

I will send Friedl to look for them.

I still think we should have telephoned the Fuhrer first.

No. This is too important.

Do you realize he only made six speeches in the last year?

We are fighting for our political life.

And you cannot win a campaign by communing with nature

on a mountain top.

That depends on the campaign.

I hope you're not going to put that one on the album.

Why not? It's charming.

But overexposed.

For a moment, you reminded me of someone.

A woman?

My mother.

When I was a boy, we used to picnic alongside

a little stream.

Outside Linz.

She'd raise her skirt, just as you did

'to keep it from getting wet.'

And I thought you were going to reveal the details of some

secret love affair.

You better put on your shoes and stockings.

You might catch a cold.

No, no, Uncle Alf. This feels so good.

This mountain air makes me so hungry.

I'll have to go on a diet before I return to Vienna.

Why do you want to go back to Vienna?

Well, I do miss the city.

But I thought you were happy here with me.

Oh, I am, Uncle Alf.

It's just that I miss the nightlife.

The theatres, the shops, the dancing.

And Kort Linden.

You haven't mentioned him for some time.

There's really nothing much to say.

He's in Vienna and I'm here.

He's been writing to you every week

at the Berchtesgaden post office.

Emil was told when one of your letters was given

to him by mistake.

And I practically did everything but kiss that

fat-headed postmaster, so he wouldn't say anything.

Mama would have a fit if she knew.

What about this Kort?

But you know, I'm not seeing him.

Geli, you're avoiding my question.

That sounds just like mama.

Has she been talking to you about Kort?

Mothers can be a problem sometimes.

Geli, I am you uncle. I'm responsible for you.

Surely, you have nothing to hide from me

between you and Kort.

But that's something personal.

If you won't tell me then I should have to insist

that he stop writing to you.

I don't think that Kort would give me up that easily.

Then, I will have to see that he does.

Uncle Alf, you're jealous.

My mother, always my mother.

'Uncle Adolph. Geli.'

'Uncle Adolph! Geli!'

Oh, Uncle Adolph, they are-

Is Uncle Adolf angry?

Friedl..

...do you remember the picture of Uncle Adolf's mother?

- The one mama showed us? - Yes.

Is she wearing anything around her neck?

A pendant or a necklace?

No, not a necklace.

It's a cameo and a gold chain.

'Geli, what is it?'

Nothing, help me with the things.

The Fuhrer is coming.

Heil Hitler.

Heil Hitler.

Well, I thought I had made my position quiet clear

about visitors.

I did not come here to exchange social amenities.

Your presence is needed in Munich for the coming election.

As lead of the party in the north, I insist.

- Insist? - The party will demand it.

Listen to this and don't you ever forget it.

I am the party!

'Mein Fuhrer.'

We have all worked too hard and sacrificed too much

to let the movement disintegrate.

What I am doing here is more important to the future

of the party than any political activity I might undertake.

The second volume of Mein Kampf

will be the corner stone of a new Germany

which will last for a thousand years!

But my, Fuhrer, surely you could continue with this

most important work in Munich.

No.

I shall remain here until it is completed.

- 'But my Fuhrer--' - 'My decision is final.'

Gentlemen, my mother has prepared

something to eat in the dining room.

'Geli..'

Geli, you must not be angry.

I am not angry.

I just don't understand.

Geli, I..

I have no explanation.

Give me the cameo.

I will take it to Munich and have it repaired.

No, we will go to Munich together and shop for a new one.

- When? Today? - Right after lunch.

I will hurry and get ready.

Oh, Geli. Help Friedl serve.

I can't. I have to pack.

'I go to Munich with Uncle Adolf.'

Eat gentlemen.

We must leave immediately for Munich.

- Sieg. - Heil.

- Sieg. - Heil.

- Sieg. - Heil.

Perhaps we should ask the Fuhrer's permission.

Oh, he won't mind.

They make a handsome couple, don't they?

I doubt that the Fuhrer would express his appreciation.

Who is the young man she is dancing with?

No idea. But I may as well find out.

I am sure the Fuhrer will be interested.

If my figures are correct

we are now the second largest party in Germany.

6.5 million votes, 107 seats in the Reichstag.

Strasser..

Reichstag is not an end in itself

but merely the means to an end.

We win seats in order that we may do away with the Reichstag.

That we have won today is merely another weapon in our battle.

Call it whatever you will.

I believe we won a great victory.

We should save the word victory, until we achieve our goal.

Until then we should use the word fight.

Next election will not be a race for seats in the Reichstag

but my campaign for the presidency against Hindenburg.

Lieutenant Erich Faber, of Gerling staff.

Adolf, sit down. This is disgraceful.

Strasser, if you have any misgivings about my conduct

I suggest that you keep them to yourself.

Not if you insist on submitting the party to ridicule.

'The party has nothing whatsoever'

'to do with my personal life.'

Fuhrer, you can disassociate one from the other.

Your relationship with Geli

is a subject of common gossip through Munich.

How dare you!

Our relationship has been solely that of uncle to niece.

Then you have compromised her, needlessly.

Maintaining her alone in your apartment for the last year.

We may occupy the same apartment

but we do not share the same bedroom.

If that's true, then I suggest you either marry her

or send her back to her mother.

Strasser, you have gone too far, there is no room for

a petty bourgeois moralist in the National Social Party.

I shall not tolerate any further discussion

about my relationship with Geli.

I am afraid you will still hear about it.

Whether you like it or not.

Not even you can order an ugly rumor like this

to stop from circulating.

That will be all, lieutenant.

Heil Hitler.

Get your wrap.

But the evening has just begun. I'd like to stay and dance.

The lieutenant will be occupied with other duties.

'Achtung!'

- 'Heil Hitler.' - Heil Hitler.

- 'Heil Hitler.' - Heil Hitler.

What an evening.

I wish you would win elections more often.

And if you just wouldn't get so angry about things.

How long have you known him?

'Lieutenant Faber, the man with whom you danced tonight.'

Oh, is that his name? I forgot to ask.

I just happened to think of his face

when he brought me back to the table.

You frightened that poor boy out of his wits.

Well, he should have asked for my permission.

He didn't even ask for mine.

I practically kidnapped him.

He didn't know what was happening

until he found himself dancing with me.

Anyway, I didn't think you'd notice me.

you were so busy with Herr Strasser.

Strasser..

...is determined to be the conscience of the party.

Do you know that he actually accused us

of living immorally?

Did you tell him the intimate details?

No, Geli.

Well..

Strasser needn't worry about you seducing me.

I can't even get you to help me with my buttons.

Please, Uncle. The top one is difficult.

I wonder what made him bring up the subject in the first place.

Strange...you have never even kissed me.

Haven't you opened it yet?

It is open..

...Geli.

- 'You despise me.' - No, I don't.

- 'I can see it in your eyes.' - You are wrong.

Don't lie to me.

Perhaps, it would be better for both of us

if I return to Vienna.

No, you will remain here.

But you know there can never be anything between us.

Please, let me go back to Vienna.

I can start my music lessons again.

Is that all?

And what about Kort Linden?

We haven't written to each other since I came

to Munich a year ago.

I am sure you haven't forgotten each other.

Picking up that cheap affair where you left off

will be no problem.

Whatever there was between Kort and myself was not cheap.

You filthy slut!

What-what about those weekends you spent with him in Linz?

They were wonderful.

Kort made me feel like a woman.

Something you would never be capable of doing.

Why, you never loved me.

You never loved any woman.

You couldn't. Your mother.

- Always your mother. - Damn your vile mouth!

You can't live with the knowledge of your shame.

So you have tried to bury it in distractive hatred.

Hatred for the world, for life, for yourself!

Sieg heil!

The Fuhrer has struck a blow for freedom.

But you'll never be free. Never!

You'll see her image in every woman's face

'just as you saw it in mine tonight.'

No. No, no!

These things were never meant to cloth me.

You were dressing the nightmare in your mind.

Look at me.

I dare you to look at me and tell me who you see.

'And Strasser is worried about our relationship.'

I wonder how he'd really feel if he knew

the mighty Fuhrer was less than a man.

Good morning, Emil, Himmler.

Please, won't you come in?

Good morning Geli, you look pale.

I didn't sleep well.

Unc..

The Fuhrer isn't here. He left early this morning.

I-I was just packing.

I'm going home, to Vienna.

'If you want to wait, make yourselves comfortable.'

You'll excuse me, while I pack.

There is some wine in the..

No, Emil.

Don't..

Please, let me telephone Uncle Adolf.

Let me talk to him.

Suicide?

Did she leave a note?

Yes. Yes, I'll inform the Furher.

My Fuhrer, I have bad news.

- What is it? - Geli is dead.

'Himmler and Maurice just found her body.'

'The gun is still in her hand.'

No. No.

No, it-it can't be true.

Not my Geli.

Why did she do this to me?

Geli. Oh, my Geli.

I'm sorry.

Strasser, perhaps you had better

take care of the necessary arrangements.

I think you had better leave.

I'll stay here with the Fuhrer.

Heinrich, Strasser should be there in a few minutes.

Be careful.

The Fuhrer? The Fuhrer's grief is overwhelming.

But I'm sure he will recover.

You almost had Strasser in tears.

And for a minute I thought you were going to use that gun.

What do you mean? If Strasser hadn't stop me, I would have.

She's the only woman I have ever loved.

Her death is the greatest loss I shall ever suffer.

But then, why did you order Himmler and Maurice to kill her?

You wouldn't understand.

No one would.

But Geli knew.

It was either her life or mine.

Anna, the patients gone?

Yes, doctor. But they looked quite upset.

Why can't he make appointments like any normal person?

Because my dear Anna, our patient

is not exactly a normal person.

Oedipus complex, megalomania, impotency.

Any one of these psychic disturbances could comprise

a case history in itself.

Anna, see if the side door is open.

Yes, doctor.

Is anyone else in the office, beside the doctor?

No.

And you stay out of the doctor's office.

My Fuhrer.

Heil Hitler.

Well, how does your patient look?

Frankly, quite exhausted.

I imagine your last campaign for

the presidency must have been strenuous.

Running against Hindenburg wasn't easy.

That swine Strasser..

...resigned just when I needed him most.

But you did get over 13 million votes

and 230 seats of Reichstag.

That should at least ensure your appointment as chancellor.

No, it's only a matter of days.

But I did not come here to discuss politics.

You know what is bothering me those damn nightmares!

- I can't sleep. - Yes, I know.

- What are you writing? - 'Merely the date.'

January 20th, 1933.

It's been quite sometime since I've last seen you.

The future chancellor of Germany

reduced to a case history.

It is quite confidential. I assure you.

And quite useless.

What do I think of my parents, my brother, my sister's room?

Du scheinst.

What has all this got to do with my nightmares?

As I have indicated in the past, the patient's background

is often the only clue to his traumatic disturbances.

But this has been going on for almost two years.

You have dragged things from me

that no other living being has ever known.

Would you like to remove your hat and coat?

No.

Now, you began to suffer from these nightmares

shortly after the tragic loss of your niece.

That has nothing to do with it.

Take this.

What good are they?

If these nightmares don't stop, it will be the end of me.

The end of everything.

I'm afraid there's little I can do

unless you are willing to cooperate.

How much longer am I expected to

continue with this-this nonsense?

The length of the treatment, usually depends upon

the patient's willingness to face the facts.

- 'In your case, Geli--' - I told you.

That has nothing whatsoever to do with my nightmares.

You must let me be the judge of what is pertinent.

As your physician--

And there will be no more confessions.

I refuse to tolerate your morbid curiosity any longer.

And you had better destroy that.

My secretary will contact you.

Be prepared to come to Berlin.

Finally, we have arrived. Chancellor of Germany.

- Now, we begin. - Yeah!

London, Paris, Washington.

International Jewish conspiracy.

This criticism is intolerable.

But mein Fuhrer, it is impossible

to restrict the activities of the foreign press.

But you can prevent this poison

from being distributed in Germany.

The opposition press within Germany

is publishing the same story.

Then they must be silenced!

We may not be able to suppress word and opinion but I shall not

tolerate any criticism of our policies at home.

- There have been arrests. - And acquittals.

My liberal judges and democratic courts

they too must be eliminated.

I can't move in any direction.

President Hindenburg above me, Vice Chancellor Von Papen below.

Only three seats in a cabinet of ten.

When a cabinet doesn't restrict me, the Reichstag does.

I am encircled and entrapped!

This opposition must end once and for all!

'Simple.'

Just give me three days and a free hand

with my brown-shirts.

You shall have it.

The time has come for heads to roll.

Wherever we find them.

In the courts, the press, the Reichstag

the trade unions, the churches--

Mein Fuhrer, but people are religiously inclined.

Perhaps we should refrain from activities

against the church, at this time.

One is either a German or a Christian, you can't be both.

The symbol of our religion is not the cross, but the swastika.

As for worship, let the people look to me.

I am their father.

Mein Fuhrer, your position as our true

spiritual leader is unquestionable.

But don't you think it may be a bit premature

to incur the antagonism of religious groups?

Antagonism?

Ernst, there will be no exceptions.

And the justifications for these corrective measures?

The action which you have held in reserve

for just such an occasion.

Arrangements have been complete for some time.

The only question will be when?

Tonight.

Mein Fuhrer, under the circumstances

perhaps we should cancel our dinner party.

Not at all.

It will be ideal to have the press

for after dinner cocktails.

The view from your window should be excellent.

- Heil Hitler. - Heil Hitler.

Heil Hitler.

Heil Hitler.

The clerk from the photographer is here.

with certain pictures for Herr Goebbels

Have her come in.

The pictures of the inauguration ceremony.

I need one for a special release.

- Heil Hitler. - Bring them over here.

All of these feature Hindenburg.

- I'll have them retouched. - Hmm.

'I suppose you have seen these pictures.'

Fraulein.

Which do you prefer?

This one.

Why?

Well, it's-it's masculine.

I think it will appeal to women.

At least, it does to me.

I think she is right. Use this one.

Ah there are some corrections to be made. I'll call later.

Heil Hitler.

Mein Fuhrer, your car is ready.

Uh, by the way, what was that young lady's name?

Uh, Braun. Eva Braun.

Arrange for her to be my guest at the dinner party tonight.

'Would you believe that some gentleman of the foreign press'

'are reporting only what you see on the surface.'

The deep inner rot infecting Germany today

can only be destroyed by the use

of the most stringent discipline.

Discipline? What I have personally witnessed could

only be described as the most shocking brutality.

'Let me make it clear.'

'For us, there can be but one decision! We shall fight.'

Until the last vestiges of this bourgeois republic are erased.

And a new Germany

reborn in the spirit of national socialism

is once more master of its own destiny.

Mein Fuhrer.

That was inspiring.

All of Germany should have heard you.

Is there anything wrong?

Do you usually wear your hair that way?

No I...put it up especially for this evening.

I prefer your hair the way you wore it this afternoon.

Oh, I'm sorry if I had only known that--

You can use Frau Goebbels' dressing room.

It's through that door.

Do you want me to change it...now?

I have already stated my preference.

You'd think he had nothing in his mind but that girl.

I hope the press has the same impression.

Won't Frau and Harry Guderian be here this evening?

No...business.

Little party matter which requires

Herr Guderian's attention.

What possible attraction could she have for him?

Doesn't she remind you of someone?

- Geli. - Of course.

Well, now that is better.

Much better.

You should always wear your hair this way.

Yes?

The Reichstag.

Yes-yes, I'll inform the Fuhrer.

Mein Fuhrer, the Reichstag has been set on fire.

Arson.

Open those drapes.

This is monstrous!

This is the work of an incendiary conspiracy.

Liberals, social democrats.

The Catholic Center Party, Jews.

Jews, Jews!

The iron fist of national socialism

shall descend on all of them.

The flames rising from the Reichstag shall become

a torch of retribution.

I can promise you that this fire which our enemies have ignited

'shall be extinguished with their blood!'

Terror will be broken by terror.

No!

Confine the Dachau.

Radissons 857.

Social Democrats, 912. Catholic Center Party, 3569.

Jews, 4296.

From all over Germany.

Adolf, I put the storm troopers together for you.

But I'll be damned if I let you sell them out.

I-If you believe that you must be insane.

Where did you get that idea from? Your friend Heinz?

From a confidential report of that meeting you held

with the general staff.

Read it.

Report of General Von Brauwich.

"The General Staff considers Anstreben and the S.A. hostile

"in every respect to it's intimus.

"Their restraint would be a primary consideration

in any agreement to support you as Hindenburg's successor."

And this is your answer.

"Gentlemen, if we are of one accord, I can give you

"my personal assurance that you may regard the demands

by Captain Rohm and the S.A. as utterly inconsequential."

Have you forgotten your promise

that the S.A. would take over army leadership?

Our very existence is threatened and all you're concerned about

is the army leadership.

Threatened? By what?

My S.A. has swept the streets clean.

Since the Reichstag fire all political opposition

has been completely eliminated.

Those who haven't fled the country are either dead

or in concentration camps.

Because a few thousand swine are either dead or in prison.

You think we can do what we want when we can't.

'Hindenburg still occupies the presidential palace.'

Hindenburg, that old man is practically dead.

Exactly.

But apparently, you fail to realize that his death

means the end of national socialism.

The end of everything.

Here's a copy of the last will of testament

of our beloved president.

'It will be published upon his death.'

It asks the general staff to restore the monarchy to power.

Those pigs could never fulfill that request.

The S.A. put the Nazi party in power and will keep it there.

No.

Civil war with the army is not the answer.

Negotiations with the general staff

are our only means to a bloodless solution.

The only solution acceptable to the general staff would be

the liquidation of the S.A.

Ernst, have you forgotten what I said to you

at the Nuremberg rally?

You and the S.A. are my right arm.

Then use it or the general staff will chop it off.

Ernst, you are my best friend. Trust me.

Whatever arrangements I may have to make will only be

because they are expedient.

Even if I should be wrong, I know I can always rely upon you

and the S.A. to rectify my mistake.

Believe me, if there's any mistake, the general staff

would have made it.

'I knew I could depend upon my Ernst.'

Yeah, this is going to be difficult to explain.

Next month, every ranking S.A. officer will be meeting

at the annual conclave.

They're expecting my announcement

that they've been given command of the regular army.

It is only a matter of time.

Suppose I should attend the conclave

and address them personally.

- Would you? - Of course.

Adolf, that will be a night to remember.

- Putzi, am I glad to see you? - Glad to see you too.

- Let's go upstairs. - Good.

Edmond, Edmond Heines.

There's a package here for Captain Rohm.

- I'll give it him. - Thank you.

- Heil Hitler. - Heil Hitler

Come in.

Oh, Edmond.

This package came for you.

Good.

Hmm, whatever you're using is really nice.

Oh, thank you.

Comes from Paris.

I'll get some for you.

How goes it downstairs?

It's a biggest turnout we ever had.

Good. The Fuhrer will be pleased.

- You really think he'll come? - You read his telegram.

Oh, and I've really got a big surprise for him.

Open it.

'Well, what do you think of it"

"Mein Fuhrer to our everlasting friendship, Ernst."

I didn't know you're so sentimental about friendship.

Oh, Edmond. Don't be stupid.

This visit calls for some token of appreciation.

I still don't understand your reason

for this sudden admiration.

If anyone deserves a plaque, it should be you.

Guderian is a full general.

That little club foot Goebbels is a cabinet minister.

Himmler is in charge of the S.S. and the Gestapo.

What has he ever given you?

Friendship.

'Now you should be in charge of Germany's military forces.'

Edmond, it's just a matter of time.

You heard him.

He promised me.

The Fuhrer gets nervous when he's reminded of his promises.

I think it's only because he's a little frightened.

I put him at the head of three million storm troopers

and suddenly he isn't quite sure

whether they're marching behind him or coming after him.

Come now, let us go down.

I want to talk to the chef about the Fuhrer's dinner.

Heil Hitler, the vegetarian.

Oh, Edmond, really come.

Shoot that dog.

Adolf, what is the meaning? What are you doing?

Stop him. Adolf.

- Stop them. - Traitor.

Now you'll see how I'll deal with those

who conspire against me.

And Heines shall be the first.

Stop them before it's too late.

There's no conspiracy, there never has been.

- Liar. - Wha..

You and your circle of corruption were planning

to assassinate me and seize the state.

That's not true and you know it.

- Now, countermand that order. - No.

Before this day is over

I shall have cleaned out this filthy pig sty.

Not only here, but throughout Germany.

I have no place for scum like you

and Heines in my new world order.

You sick, ominous hypocrite.

When did you acquire this sudden morality?

'After your negotiations with the generals staff?'

'Ernst!'

'Ernst!'

Ernst!

Is that the price you agreed to pay the general staff?

'You bought their support with our lives.'

But there's another reason why I must die, isn't it, Adolf?

One that goes back to your barracks in 1919.

Do you remember that filthy pig sty, Adolf, best friend?

You can't permit me to live because I'm the proof

of your own corruption.

Get him out of here!

- You.. - Get rid of him!

'Get rid of him! Get rid of him!'

'Company..'

'Halt.'

'In the name of the Fuhrer.'

'Heil Hitler.'

'Fire.'

Open up.

Troupe leader, William Smith.

Stand up, ferul.

Troupe leader, William Smith.

No, I don't wanna die. No.

No.

- No. - Let me go along with him.

No.

- No. - Take him away.

'No.'

I don't wanna die. No. No.

No.

Don't. No, I don't wanna die. No.

The Fuhrer has granted you this courtesy.

Use it.

If Hitler wants to see me dead

he will have to shoot me himself.

'In the name of the Fuhrer.'

'Heil Hitler.'

'Fire.'

In the name of the Fuhrer.

Hands up.

Fire.

'In the name of Fuhrer.'

Heil Hitler.

Fire.

Heil Hitler.

Fire.

Heil Hitler.

Fire.

Fire.

Save it for the Fuhrer.

Tell him, I returned the courtesy.

In the name of the Fuhrer.

Heil Hitler. Fire.

Mutinies must be suppressed with the iron law of decimation.

The group, headed by Chief of staff, Ernst Rohm

And Strasser, were the criminals of this conspiracy against

the security of our Government.

I myself ask to be taken into custody.

I gave the order to shoot those who were the ringleaders

of this conspiracy.

I further gave the order to burn down the raw flesh

the ulcers poisoning the well springs of Germany.

If anyone reproaches me and asked me why

I did not resort to the regular courts of justice for conviction

of these offenders, then all I've to say to them is this..

...in that hour..

...I was responsible for the fate of Germany

and thereby I became the supreme judge

of the German people.

Eva.

Mm-hmm?

Where are you going?

It's a personal invitation from the Fuhrer.

To the Berghof. Oh, Gretl.

I'm going to be with him for a whole week.

But what about your job?

Do you think anyone would dare to dismiss me

while I'm the Fuhrer's guest?

Who cares anyway?

Gretl.

Be a good sister and let me borrow your negligee?

Aren't you being a bit too hopeful?

You've been in love with him for eight months

and he hasn't shown the slightest interest in you.

That way.

Oh, he hasn't been that indifferent.

But you can't expect the most important man

in Germany to fall in love, just like that.

What has love have to do with it?

You're not the first woman who's had an invitation

to the Berghof.

But I'm goin' to be the last.

You let me know the minute he's pronounced dead.

What is it, Bormann?

Fraulein Braun has arrived.

This line will be kept open for you.

Hindenburg won't last this day.

- And the will? - Von Papen's orders.

It will be never be published.

Nothing can stop me now.

By this time tomorrow, I shall be master of Germany.

And then mankind will know, with whom it has to deal.

My Fuhrer.

May I please have my robe?

'It's lying on the foot of the bed.'

'This concludes our broadcasting for today.'

'There has been no further bulletin'

"from physicians attending the Great President Von Hindenburg"

'Reich Chancellor Hitler is still conferring'

'with his cabinet at the Berghof.'

That's not true.

Reich Chancellor Hitler is conferring with Eva Braun.

Eva Bruan.

'But Reich's Chancellor Hitler should be with his cabinets.'

I'm sure they can wait.

At least, until I comb my hair.

Perhaps...even a little longer.

I'm so happy you invited me.

The week will seem like a day.

Well, then we-we shall have to

extend the invitation.

Aren't you going to arrange your hair?

I'll have to wait..

...until it's dry.

My Fuhrer.

Is there anything wrong?

What do you mean?

- Was my kiss so distasteful? - I don't want to discuss it.

There's something about me that is frightening you.

I've nothing to fear. You understand? Nothing!

You are Eva Braun.

A photographer's clerk. A street-walker.

A filthy tramp with whom I can do anything I wish.

- My Fuhrer! - You are Eva Braun.

Say it.

- I am Eva Braun. - Again.

I am Eva Braun. I am Eva Braun.

Look at me!

I am Eva Braun.

No.

You could never be anything...but her.

My Fuhrer.

Berlin just called.

President Hindenburg died five minutes ago.

- Has Himmler left for Berlin? - Not yet.

He and the others are waiting for any last instructions

you may have.

Martin, order my car.

You will see that Fraulein Braun is driven home immediately.

Yes, my Fuhrer.

'Fraulein Braun.'

'The car will be waiting for you in half an hour.'

'Please be ready.'

What did you hope to accomplish with these cheap melodramatics?

Did you think that will change anything between us?

When you have...wanted something more than life itself

and you discover you can never possess it

'what else was there for me to do?'

But you must have been aware that my interest in you

was not based on love.

Perhaps not love.

I would have settled for less.

But what did you hope to gain from any relationship with me?

Prestige? Influence? Money?

I looked for no reward other than to serve my Fuhrer.

It is impossible for me to accept that.

Because of her?

The woman you see when you look at me?

Where does she end?

Where do I begin?

You mustn't.

Why can't you leave me in peace?

'Please.'

I can't stand it any longer.

'Adolf.'

Why must you torture me like this?

I am your son.

I'll never be anything but her.

It doesn't matter.

Believe me. It just doesn't matter.

I understand.

Do you?

Can you understand this compulsion

which fills me with disgust?

That turns me away from every woman.

I am not like other men.

Desire turns to revulsion.

Gratification, which even an animal enjoys

is denied me.

Can you understand that?

Yes...and even more than that.

But it doesn't have to be that way any longer.

It is useless.

There can be no happiness for me

as long as she exists.

But she is dead.

No matter how real she may seem to you

'she has only existed in your mind.'

'Adolf, look at me.'

'The proof that she is no longer there'

'is in your eyes.'

The death of President Von Hindenburg

on August 2nd, 1934

removed the last obstacle to complete power for Hitler.

Virtually unchallenged, Hitler consolidated the offices

of president and chancellor

establishing an absolute dictatorship.

It was the beginning of Hitler's New World Order.

A barbaric concept designed for enslaving humanity.

In a continual display of power

designed to intimidate and impress the world

Hitler's massive legions marched triumphantly

under the banner of the twisted cross.

Adhering faithfully to his precept

of total obedience.

They swore unconditionally to lay down their lives

for their Fuhrer.

To implement Hitler's dream of world conquest

factories were secretly converted

from civilian to military production.

Rearmament became Germany's most important industry.

On March 7th, 1936, convinced of his infallible destiny

to rule the world

Hitler set in motion the destructive forces

which were, ultimately, to cost the lives

of 50 million people.

Gentlemen, at this historic moment

three battalions of German troops

are marching..

...in the Marine land.

By this action I have not only broken

the shackles of the Versailles Treaty

but I have also opened the door to our future victories.

The conquest and subjugation of Europe will be our next task.

After that...the world!

'Nexus in Austria wipes out forever

'the artificial barriers'

'between the German-speaking nations.'

'As of this day, we are one people'

'one culture, under one law.'

Now that the question of the Sudetenland

has been peacefully resolved

I welcome Czechoslovakia into the German sphere.

'Germany's desire for peace has been constantly threatened'

'by Poland's armed might.'

'This intolerable danger to the German nation'

'must be ruthlessly crushed.'

There will be a final reckoning with France

the inexorable mortal enemy of the German people.

She will never be permitted to rise again as a nation.

'Violence shall serve as an example'

'to the smaller nations, that resistance is futile.'

'As for our violation of neutrality and subjugation'

'of non-combatant countries'

'who will there be left to protest'

'after we have conquered Europe?'

Slavic peoples are to be regarded as sub-human

fit only for enslavement or extermination.

Except for ineffectual pockets of resistance

in Moscow and Stalingrad, Europe is ours.

And even as Hitler gloated in triumph

these pockets of resistance

exploded in violent counter attacks

Coordinated with massive allied action

throughout the world

on a scale unprecedented in modern warfare.

The Nazi juggernaut began to crumble.

Surrender?

"Unable to resist Russian offensive any longer."

"Von Paulus."

I will not be denied total victory.

Von Paulus should have died fighting.

Set an example to his troops.

And I made him a Field Marshal.

My Fuhrer.

As we advised you prior to that operation

Von Paulus might have defeated the Russians.

But no one has ever won a victory over the Russian snow.

Marshal Rommel, snow may have been reason

for Von Paulus defeat. What was yours?

If my memory serves me right, snow is as rare as your victory

- in North Africa. - The loss of North Africa--

Reasons. Excuses. Explanations. They apply only to defeat.

No one has to explain victory. It speaks for itself.

Let me make myself clear, gentlemen.

These reverses must stop.

My Fuhrer.

It is our considered opinion that an armistice now

may permit us to retain what we already hold.

And prevent the ultimate obliteration

of Germany.

Am I to understand that you are already preparing

an excuse for defeat?

As of this day, further excuses will not be accepted.

Any officer who finds it necessary

to offer one will answer to me, personally..

...with his life.

Heil Hitler!

Members of the general staff will meet Fuhrer in my office.

All others are to return to their posts.

Gentlemen.

In the interest of the state..

...it is my opinion that the time has come for us to act.

I shall deliver my report to the Fuhrer

at the first opportunity.

Colonel Stauffenberg.

There can be no margin for error.

Our lives and the fate of Germany

will depend on it.

We are ready for you now, my Fuhrer.

Heil Hitler.

I will be ready for your report in a few minutes.

We believe the most effective method

of implementing your plan

without weakening our western defenses

would be to use the Hungarian and Romanian troops.

'I'm afraid they don't have much stomach for fighting..'

'...and their loyalty is questionable at best.'

A breakthrough would mean the loss of Poland.

Whose briefcase is this?

Uh, it belongs to me, my Fuhrer.

Well, get it out of my way.

You had better check Oberst Stauffenberg's report.

This is going to require all of my attention.

Let me have your report, Oberst.

Here.

I'm sorry, General. This is the wrong briefcase.

I have the report in my other bag in the car.

I shall be back in a minute.

- Where's Brandt? - Oberst Brandt.

What is the disposition of our troops in this area?

My Fuhrer!

Call Himmler!

Not until the last one of these dogs is destroyed!

Drop 'em!

- Heil Hitler! - Heil Hitler!

- General Guderian? - Yes.

The Fuhrer's expecting us.

'You will remove your side arms, and open your bags.'

These bags contain secret maps and documents.

We're not interested in your maps and documents.

Open those bags!

I will not submit to this indignity.

Those are the Fuhrer's orders! For everyone!

- Heil Hitler! - Heil Hitler!

Good morning, General Guderian.

- Fraulein Braun. - Gentlemen.

Gentlemen, the Fuhrer.

'Heil Hitler!'

You may as well stay here.

My distinguished staff, you're refrained from using the word

"retreat", in front of a woman.

- My Fuhrer-- - But, isn't it true?

Every time, I talk to one of you, I only hear

of some new disaster.

I warn you...I will not tolerate any further requests

for withdrawal of troops.

My Fuhrer, I'm afraid it's too late for withdrawal.

East Prussia has been cut-off from the right.

The enemy crossed the Oder river last night.

What is the present position?

100 miles from Berlin.

You! Y-you you are responsible!

You should have prevented that crossing

no matter what the cost!

I pulled back at the last moment to avoid complete annihilation.

I-I-I'm not interested in saving lives.

Your orders were to defend the position to the last man!

My Fuhrer, I'm willing to die for Germany.

But I refuse to die without purpose.

You swore an oath to me, to risk your life

at my command!

It is my decision, mine alone, whether

your life has any purpose!

General Keitl, you will issue a directive in my name

to all the armed forces.

Any soldier, or officer

who fails to defend his position or retreats one step

'is to be summarily shot!'

Martin, get my things ready. I'm leaving for Berlin.

Headquarters will be established at the Fuhrerbunker.

You'll report to me there.

My Fuhrer, we have neither the arms, nor the men

to continue this war. I suggest we seek an armistice.

Swine!

Do you wish to add high treason to an act of cowardice?

I shall never capitulate!

Nothing will change my decision to fight

until I have achieved victory!

Now, get out, all of you!

Adolf..

...let me go with you.

No, it'd be too dangerous.

But you'd need someone to take care of you.

Bormann will be with me.

Please.

I'll meet you at the car.

Eva.

This is the greatest challenge I've ever faced.

I must be free to cope with it. I will have no time for you.

Victory. All that matters is victory. I'm going with you.

You will remain here at the Berghof.

I forbid you to come to Berlin.

How many times must I tell you that there can be

no personal life for us. Marriage or otherwise

until this war is won.

Adolf...if we should lose the war, what then?

Even you.

Adolf, General Guderian indicated there's no hope

and the others agreed with him.

General Guderian is a fool. They're all fools.

Despite everything, I shall not be deprived of victory.

'Our beloved Fuhrer has sworn to remain here'

'and defend the reign that has arrived.'

'In this, our greatest ordeal'

'we must prove that we are worthy of his leadership.'

'Our Fuhrer expects no less.'

The enemy must pay with blood.

For every foot of German soil, he occupies.

General Keitel. Urgent.

Well.

My Fuhrer, Germany has been cut in two.

The Americans have crossed the Elbe river

at a point only sixty miles from Berlin.

The only forces we have intact are north of this line.

Well, what are you waiting for?

Order them to counter-attack. Must I do everything?

My Fuhrer, with the armament plants in Upper Silesia

and the river now held by the enemy

'we are no longer able to procure supplies.'

The failure to destroy those plants was an act of treason.

Nothing's to be left intact for the allies.

I want the country laid waste.

We shall leave them nothing but the scorched earth.

My Fuhrer, I beg you to reconsider.

Those resources must be spared for the German people.

The welfare of the weaklings who survive

this war is of no concern to me.

They are not fit to be called Germans.

If we should lose this war, I will take

what is left of Germany with me.

- Where's the Fuhrer? - He's not in his bedroom.

Let's try the conference room.

I will be with you gentlemen in a minute.

Fuhrer, the enemy has penetrated

the outskirts of Berlin.

Their guns zeroed in on the bunker.

I have just completed the details of a plan

which will change the entire course of war.

'The allies believe that we have lost the war.'

That we will remain un-defensive until we're destroyed.

But we will not play their game. Ha-ha-ha.

'We shall take offensive.'

With the focus of Berlin center, General Vince's army will attack

in the South and General Steiner's army

will flank the enemy on the North.

Well?

My Fuhrer, the armies of General Vince

and General Steiner no longer exist.

We should keep General Heinrich's ninth army

in reserve.

That should take care of any unforeseen contingencies.

Mein Fuhrer, Heinrich's army surrendered

to the American forces, last week.

No such thing has occurred.

I'm well aware of your desires to end this war.

Make no mistake, gentlemen.

There should be no attempts of armistice

as long as I am in command.

This counter-offensive will go forward as scheduled.

I shall expect your hourly reports.

Eva..

...I didn't think you could get through.

What's wrong with the Fuhrer?

He's been this way since yesterday.

We are unable to make him understand, the war is lost.

He ordered a counter-offensive

by armies that simply do not exist.

Berlin?

My Fuhrer, no one seems to know anything about a counterattack.

Josef, Martin. Where are the General Keitel

and General Yodl?

They all attempted to leave yesterday

supervise a counter-attack.

Why haven't I heard from them?

I shall not tolerate this gross insubordination.

Adolf...there is no counter offensive.

There never will be.

I have been betrayed by everyone. Resented by all.

I have been surrounded by conspirators.

Murderers. Cowards. Traitors.

Himmler, Goering, the general staff, the army.

Even those filthy swine.

The German people have failed me.

I hold them all responsible for our defeat.

The enemy did not win this war.

Victory was given to them.

And I could have made myself, master of the world.

Adolf.

You should have remained at the Berghof.

The radio announced your decision to remain

here until the end. My place is with you.

Do you realize what that end will be?

I've come to share it with you. As your wife.

Do you, Adolf Hitler, swear that you are of Aryan descent

'and free of any hereditary disease?'

I do.

'Do you, Eva Braun, swear that you're'

'of Aryan descent and free of any hereditary disease?'

I do.

Then, in the presence of these witnesses

and under the laws of the Third Reich..

...as of this day April 29, 1945, you are man and wife.

Heil Hitler.

Adolf...let me be first.

I don't want to see you die.

The gun is quicker.

It won't make any difference. We are to be cremated.

I won't have them making a spectacle of our bodies.

No. No, of course not.

But it doesn't matter.

I shall be proud to die as your wife. As Frau Hitler.

Frau Hitler. I rewarded your loyalty by making you my wife.

And then only because we are to die.

But marriage did not give you the privilege

of calling yourself Frau Hitler.

Only one woman ever had the right to that name.

No. No, it belongs to me. I'm paying for it with my life.

You're permitted to die at my side.

Should be sufficient reward.

You did not understand me. The world did not understand me.

Nor was it prepared to accept what I had to offer.

Those who follow me will not find it difficult.

For I have laid the groundwork. I have shown them the way.

Hitler died as he had lived.

A raging psychotic threatening the world with destruction.

His epitaph, the enormity of his crimes against humanity.

Written in the blood stained pages of history.

It will remain an ever-lasting indictment

of the most infamous barbarian the world has ever known.
