Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:05,255 --> 00:00:08,718
The Second World War's
violent, disturbing images
2
00:00:09,176 --> 00:00:12,721
have been constantly replayed
for decades.
3
00:00:12,805 --> 00:00:14,933
Sometimes it seems there is little
4
00:00:15,015 --> 00:00:18,144
we can see
that we haven't seen before.
5
00:00:19,937 --> 00:00:24,233
But buried in archives and tucked away
in private collections,
6
00:00:24,317 --> 00:00:28,070
an astonishing set
of 3D films and photographs
7
00:00:28,654 --> 00:00:32,658
with the power to erase time
and transcend space
8
00:00:33,283 --> 00:00:37,288
will now be seen for the first time
in nearly 70 years.
9
00:00:38,789 --> 00:00:43,001
Leading historians of the war
put on their 3D glasses
10
00:00:43,085 --> 00:00:47,382
and view the great conflict in a way
even they have never seen it.
11
00:00:49,925 --> 00:00:52,803
I'm looking at Hitler,
and he's looking at me.
12
00:00:52,886 --> 00:00:55,723
It's fantastic.
13
00:00:57,725 --> 00:00:59,935
I've been looking at images
of this conflict my entire life.
14
00:01:00,018 --> 00:01:03,106
Over 30 years
of seriously studying this conflict,
15
00:01:03,188 --> 00:01:07,401
and I've not seen images
from World War ll look like this.
16
00:01:08,694 --> 00:01:11,071
Unknown to most people today,
17
00:01:11,156 --> 00:01:15,368
Adolph Hitler used
the clarity and depth of 3D
18
00:01:15,827 --> 00:01:18,621
to glorify his 1,000-year Reich.
19
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:26,378
And as you will see,
in the only known footage of its kind,
20
00:01:26,463 --> 00:01:29,590
restored and shown here
for the first time,
21
00:01:29,673 --> 00:01:35,263
the Nazis used 3D
to film their soldiers in live action.
22
00:01:36,639 --> 00:01:41,935
The Allies successfully exploited 3D
in aerial reconnaissance
23
00:01:42,019 --> 00:01:44,773
to lay the groundwork for D-Day
24
00:01:44,855 --> 00:01:49,193
and ultimately,
to lay waste to Germany.
25
00:01:50,402 --> 00:01:54,783
A brave Frenchman,
still active today at age 97,
26
00:01:54,866 --> 00:01:58,119
even used 3D to document
27
00:01:58,202 --> 00:02:02,373
one of the most thrilling moments
of the 20th century,
28
00:02:02,456 --> 00:02:05,585
the liberation of Paris.
29
00:02:06,544 --> 00:02:10,297
Now, for the first time ever,
you are about to experience
30
00:02:10,381 --> 00:02:16,136
the Second World War
as it has not been seen by anyone,
31
00:02:16,220 --> 00:02:19,765
except those who actually lived it.
32
00:02:23,352 --> 00:02:25,938
World War ll in 3D.
33
00:02:32,069 --> 00:02:37,826
Adolph Hitler stands in an open car
as troops thunder past.
34
00:02:39,786 --> 00:02:45,291
The photograph seems somehow familiar,
yet somehow startlingly new.
35
00:02:47,544 --> 00:02:51,588
Every detail, from the Fuhrer's
reflections in the foreground
36
00:02:51,672 --> 00:02:55,301
to his swastika armband
and commanding posture,
37
00:02:55,385 --> 00:02:58,387
has been carefully composed
in three dimensions
38
00:02:58,470 --> 00:03:01,765
to enhance his God-like stature.
39
00:03:06,562 --> 00:03:09,357
Such images were made
at the behest of a man
40
00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:12,944
who, despite his
almost unimaginable cruelty,
41
00:03:14,111 --> 00:03:16,697
had a profound understanding
of the power
42
00:03:16,781 --> 00:03:19,867
of visual imagery to mold history.
43
00:03:22,787 --> 00:03:26,040
The Nazi ideology
that led to World War ll
44
00:03:26,123 --> 00:03:29,794
has been called
a vast eruption of evil into history.
45
00:03:33,589 --> 00:03:36,925
The author of that evil,
Adolph Hitler,
46
00:03:37,010 --> 00:03:39,596
began life as an artist,
47
00:03:39,679 --> 00:03:43,974
and used art, sculpture, symbolism,
and photography
48
00:03:44,057 --> 00:03:46,519
to mesmerize his nation.
49
00:03:46,602 --> 00:03:49,981
I remember in school
in every classroom,
50
00:03:50,064 --> 00:03:54,443
we had a picture of the Fuhrer
and the flags.
51
00:03:54,527 --> 00:03:56,653
You saw his picture everywhere.
52
00:04:00,158 --> 00:04:02,994
Even today at a Munich art museum,
53
00:04:03,493 --> 00:04:08,415
traces of Hitler's
eerie symbolism survive.
54
00:04:08,498 --> 00:04:12,002
He consistently involved himself
in the process
55
00:04:12,085 --> 00:04:17,507
of developing the artistic look
of the National Socialist Third Reich.
56
00:04:18,216 --> 00:04:20,218
I don't think there's ever been
57
00:04:20,303 --> 00:04:22,387
anybody in history
that's used mass communications
58
00:04:22,471 --> 00:04:25,892
and propaganda
as successfully as Hitler,
59
00:04:25,974 --> 00:04:29,978
and he chose and promoted
the most talented people, he thought,
60
00:04:30,063 --> 00:04:33,274
to carry out that propaganda mission.
61
00:04:35,484 --> 00:04:40,156
One of those people was
photographer Heinrich Hoffmann.
62
00:04:43,701 --> 00:04:48,747
Here in this Munich square, on the day
the First World War broke out in 1914,
63
00:04:50,165 --> 00:04:54,044
Hoffmann photographed
a cheering crowd.
64
00:04:54,128 --> 00:04:59,050
In the 1920s, after Hoffman
met Hitler and joined the Nazis,
65
00:04:59,133 --> 00:05:03,346
he discovered that a young Hitler
himself was in that photograph.
66
00:05:05,264 --> 00:05:08,184
They became fast friends.
67
00:05:08,851 --> 00:05:12,146
He actually introduced
Eva Braun to Hitler,
68
00:05:12,229 --> 00:05:15,942
so he was probably about
as close as you could get to Hitler.
69
00:05:18,402 --> 00:05:20,445
To further Hitler's propaganda goals,
70
00:05:20,530 --> 00:05:25,493
Hoffmann turned to Germany's leading
publisher of 3D photography,
71
00:05:25,575 --> 00:05:27,662
Otto Schénstein.
72
00:05:27,745 --> 00:05:29,372
He had a publishing company
73
00:05:29,454 --> 00:05:33,835
and they wanted to order books
and use his facilities.
74
00:05:35,335 --> 00:05:40,675
Schdnstein had begun innocently enough
publishing the types of 3D photos
75
00:05:40,758 --> 00:05:44,012
that had been a popular form
of entertainment for decades.
76
00:05:48,015 --> 00:05:51,601
But after the Nazis
seized power in 1933,
77
00:05:51,685 --> 00:05:55,897
Heinrich Hoffmann took over
Otto Sch6nstein's publishing company,
78
00:05:57,358 --> 00:06:01,195
and together they took the concept
of 3D photography
79
00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:03,448
to a sinister new level.
80
00:06:03,865 --> 00:06:06,199
This is a typical Raumbild book
81
00:06:06,283 --> 00:06:09,453
of the type that the
Otto Schdnstein publishing company
82
00:06:09,536 --> 00:06:11,998
finally came up with
for their product,
83
00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:15,125
and inside the very thick covers,
84
00:06:15,209 --> 00:06:19,714
you have a pocket
which has a folding 3D viewer,
85
00:06:19,797 --> 00:06:23,800
and each pocket has
25 photographic prints
86
00:06:24,594 --> 00:06:26,386
and they called it the Raumbild,
87
00:06:26,470 --> 00:06:30,808
which is a German word that translates
literally as "spatial image."
88
00:06:30,974 --> 00:06:33,935
So it's a space image book,
or a 3D book.
89
00:06:37,522 --> 00:06:41,735
Hoffmann and Schdnstein
launched their new publishing endeavor
90
00:06:41,818 --> 00:06:44,654
with the Berlin Olympics of 1936.
91
00:06:46,491 --> 00:06:51,828
Well, the 1936 Berlin Olympics
were the ideal God-given opportunity
92
00:06:51,912 --> 00:06:57,251
to showcase the new Third Reich, and
to do so in front of the entire world.
93
00:07:02,506 --> 00:07:06,426
Hitler was enraged when
African-American Jesse Owens
94
00:07:06,510 --> 00:07:09,222
emerged as the star of the games.
95
00:07:11,056 --> 00:07:13,434
In a sense, the games backfired,
96
00:07:13,518 --> 00:07:15,686
at that moment at least,
in terms of showing that
97
00:07:15,770 --> 00:07:18,897
the white superman
wasn't the best athlete in the world.
98
00:07:18,981 --> 00:07:21,359
In fact, it was a black guy
from America.
99
00:07:24,027 --> 00:07:27,572
Within months of the Olympics,
Schénstein and Hoffmann were
100
00:07:27,656 --> 00:07:32,202
issuing lavish books that glorified
the Nazi stranglehold on Germany.
101
00:07:37,666 --> 00:07:41,294
And nothing illustrated
that stranglehold more
102
00:07:41,378 --> 00:07:44,589
than the annual events
that happened here.
103
00:07:47,385 --> 00:07:51,180
On this weed-strewn field,
a parking lot today,
104
00:07:52,055 --> 00:07:56,685
vast spectacles once dazzled Germany
and chilled the world.
105
00:07:59,105 --> 00:08:02,984
The Nuremburg Rallies were
huge mass rallies
106
00:08:02,984 --> 00:08:06,237
which were organized
to celebrate the new Germany,
107
00:08:06,319 --> 00:08:09,115
the Third Reich,
and Hitler in particular.
108
00:08:09,698 --> 00:08:12,410
Mass rallies of over 400,000 people,
109
00:08:13,327 --> 00:08:19,082
fantastically elaborate,
brilliantly staged mass spectacles.
110
00:08:20,918 --> 00:08:25,630
I saw one news reel with the rally,
111
00:08:25,715 --> 00:08:28,342
with thousands of people,
the swastika flags,
112
00:08:28,426 --> 00:08:30,510
and everybody, you can see the faces.
113
00:08:31,554 --> 00:08:34,723
They loved this man.
We knew damn well
114
00:08:34,807 --> 00:08:39,061
that something's going to happen
very soon.
115
00:08:44,524 --> 00:08:48,987
Today, children play near bleachers
where top Nazi anti-Semite
116
00:08:49,070 --> 00:08:53,533
Julius Stretcher, on the right,
once sat.
117
00:08:53,659 --> 00:08:56,996
Men who murdered millions.
118
00:08:57,705 --> 00:09:01,708
The 3D imagery brings something
very powerful to this experience.
119
00:09:01,791 --> 00:09:06,130
Few people alive have seen more
imagery from the Second World War
120
00:09:06,213 --> 00:09:09,425
than research historian Martin Morgan.
121
00:09:10,467 --> 00:09:14,721
But even he has never seen
the war in 3D until now.
122
00:09:15,972 --> 00:09:18,058
Faces that are in
the background of the shot
123
00:09:18,142 --> 00:09:20,811
that I would probably
not really pay attention to in 2D,
124
00:09:21,729 --> 00:09:26,483
I lock on to them in 3D.
It's not really just faces, either.
125
00:09:26,943 --> 00:09:31,864
World War ll historians, we love
to inspect photographs for detail,
126
00:09:31,947 --> 00:09:34,866
everything from the airplane
in the background
127
00:09:34,950 --> 00:09:39,914
to the details on the uniforms.
The details, it tells you so much.
128
00:09:44,042 --> 00:09:47,838
This is clearly
the Reichsparteitagsgelénde,
129
00:09:47,921 --> 00:09:50,341
or the Nazi party rally grounds
in Nuremberg in Germany.
130
00:09:51,258 --> 00:09:53,594
And each day of the Nazi party rally
131
00:09:53,678 --> 00:09:56,264
celebrated a different aspect
of German culture,
132
00:09:56,346 --> 00:09:58,348
the worker, the soldier, the youth.
133
00:09:58,766 --> 00:10:01,309
Here we have Adolph Hitler
134
00:10:01,394 --> 00:10:04,772
receiving the salute
and about to shake hands
135
00:10:04,854 --> 00:10:07,692
with a representative
of the German labor force.
136
00:10:07,774 --> 00:10:10,777
Because if you'll notice,
he's not armed aside from his dagger.
137
00:10:10,861 --> 00:10:13,531
Even down to the level of game wardens
had a dagger.
138
00:10:13,613 --> 00:10:17,200
Everyone had a dagger,
that's who this is.
139
00:10:26,042 --> 00:10:29,004
A rebuilt city today,
140
00:10:29,380 --> 00:10:34,217
Nuremberg was once decked out
with the Nazi's triumphant insignia.
141
00:10:38,054 --> 00:10:43,643
In Nuremberg's Market Square, Sunday
strollers browse for vegetables.
142
00:10:45,396 --> 00:10:50,108
But the Nazi's 3D cameras
captured a starkly different scene.
143
00:11:02,078 --> 00:11:06,458
And if you look, the gentlemen
that are in these wheelchairs
144
00:11:06,542 --> 00:11:09,252
that look like bicycles
and wheelchairs,
145
00:11:09,336 --> 00:11:11,588
these are World War I veterans,
146
00:11:12,423 --> 00:11:15,343
and that they've been brought
to the forefront of this crowd
147
00:11:15,425 --> 00:11:18,178
for Adolph Hitler,
who was also a World War I veteran.
148
00:11:19,597 --> 00:11:23,726
In 1938,
at the height of his popularity,
149
00:11:23,809 --> 00:11:26,936
Hitler staged an extravagant
seven-day visit
150
00:11:27,021 --> 00:11:30,608
to fellow dictator Benito Mussolini
in Italy.
151
00:11:33,109 --> 00:11:37,073
With his 3D photographers in tow,
Hitler sought to link
152
00:11:37,156 --> 00:11:41,452
the glories of ancient Rome
with his own 1,000-year Reich.
153
00:11:43,411 --> 00:11:47,833
This is fascinating, this is
Hitler the artist visiting Italy.
154
00:11:47,917 --> 00:11:50,043
And when a tourist goes to Italy,
what is it that you do?
155
00:11:50,127 --> 00:11:52,629
You go and you visit the museums
156
00:11:52,713 --> 00:11:56,967
that hold all the fantastic examples
of Greek and Roman art.
157
00:11:58,134 --> 00:12:01,054
Hitler was a great admirer
of Italian art,
158
00:12:01,137 --> 00:12:05,101
and particularly the Romans
and the Roman culture.
159
00:12:05,184 --> 00:12:06,351
And it's simple things like,
160
00:12:06,435 --> 00:12:09,980
for example, the German salute
where you raise the right arm.
161
00:12:10,064 --> 00:12:12,857
That was actually taken
from the ancient Romans.
162
00:12:17,278 --> 00:12:20,990
Back home,
Hitler instructed his artists to craft
163
00:12:21,075 --> 00:12:27,414
a new German art inspired by Rome
but glorifying the Aryan ideal.
164
00:12:29,958 --> 00:12:33,838
Here, one of his favorite sculptors,
Josef Thorak,
165
00:12:33,920 --> 00:12:37,341
labors on an image
of the Nazi superman.
166
00:12:41,595 --> 00:12:45,182
Until 1938, the 3D photography
167
00:12:45,265 --> 00:12:48,102
of Heinrich Hoffmann
and Otto Schdnstein
168
00:12:48,184 --> 00:12:52,690
had glossed over the dark side
of Hitler's meteoric rise.
169
00:12:55,692 --> 00:12:58,571
But the megalomania
lurking in these photos
170
00:12:58,653 --> 00:13:01,449
would soon erupt across Europe,
171
00:13:01,531 --> 00:13:05,744
and Nazi 3D photography
would go along for the ride.
172
00:13:11,708 --> 00:13:15,295
By 1938,
Adolph Hitler's 3D photographers
173
00:13:17,630 --> 00:13:21,718
were celebrating the almost
unimaginable success of their Fuhrer.
174
00:13:23,971 --> 00:13:26,306
He was riding a wave of popularity
175
00:13:26,389 --> 00:13:29,893
that could be likened
to no one else in German history.
176
00:13:30,686 --> 00:13:32,771
Adolph Hitler had presided over
177
00:13:32,854 --> 00:13:36,733
the rearmament
and remilitarization of Germany.
178
00:13:36,816 --> 00:13:39,236
He had reoccupied the Rhineland.
179
00:13:41,530 --> 00:13:45,451
Otto Schdnstein
and Heinrich Hoffmann's 3D propaganda
180
00:13:45,533 --> 00:13:48,996
had celebrated
each of the Fuhrer's triumphs.
181
00:13:50,873 --> 00:13:54,626
But nothing cemented Hitler's hold
on Germans more than
182
00:13:54,709 --> 00:13:59,923
the audacious seizure of neighboring
Austria, known as the Anschluss.
183
00:14:01,634 --> 00:14:04,719
Everyone thinks that Hitler was
German. Hitler actually was Austrian.
184
00:14:06,763 --> 00:14:09,183
It was obviously very
important for Hitler
185
00:14:09,265 --> 00:14:13,395
that those Austrian Germans
belong to the Third Reich.
186
00:14:14,355 --> 00:14:17,190
Austria had belonged
to the Austro-Hungarian Empire,
187
00:14:17,274 --> 00:14:19,318
and after the First World War
it was dismembered
188
00:14:19,400 --> 00:14:23,155
and really lost its power
and its glory.
189
00:14:23,238 --> 00:14:27,076
Many Austrians yearned
for that great past,
190
00:14:27,158 --> 00:14:29,703
and Hitler offered that
in terms of the future.
191
00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:34,917
In 1938, Austrians cheered
192
00:14:34,999 --> 00:14:38,628
as Hitler marched unopposed
into his native land.
193
00:14:40,922 --> 00:14:44,343
Things like the Nazi salute,
greeting people with "Heil"
194
00:14:44,425 --> 00:14:46,427
and signing letters
with "Heil Hitler,"
195
00:14:46,512 --> 00:14:48,972
it's interesting to see
how quickly these things
196
00:14:49,055 --> 00:14:51,266
then were taken over in Austria.
197
00:14:53,226 --> 00:14:58,189
Today, Salzburg, Austria
is a quiet cultural center,
198
00:14:58,274 --> 00:15:01,317
home of a famous Mozart festival.
199
00:15:03,987 --> 00:15:06,906
But in this square in 1938,
200
00:15:06,990 --> 00:15:11,579
thousands erupted with delirious joy
at Hitler's arrival.
201
00:15:13,746 --> 00:15:17,041
Squares were quickly renamed
for the conquering hero,
202
00:15:18,918 --> 00:15:23,048
as Hitler and his henchmen
launched a triumphant tour.
203
00:15:26,885 --> 00:15:29,095
At historic cemeteries like this,
204
00:15:29,930 --> 00:15:34,685
joyous Austrians heaped flowers on
the graves of the Fuhrer's ancestors.
205
00:15:38,689 --> 00:15:41,024
But not all Austrians cheered.
206
00:15:42,318 --> 00:15:46,279
The homes of Jews and leftists
were ransacked.
207
00:15:47,114 --> 00:15:51,994
They met an extremely unhappy
experience in the Anschluss in 1938,
208
00:15:52,077 --> 00:15:54,663
and many of them were
the first inmates
209
00:15:54,746 --> 00:15:56,789
at the concentration camp
at Mauthausen.
210
00:15:59,584 --> 00:16:05,049
Mauthausen, which lies just 12 miles
from Hitler's boyhood home of Linz,
211
00:16:05,131 --> 00:16:07,425
was legendary for its cruelty.
212
00:16:09,052 --> 00:16:11,930
It was where people were
not gassed in the millions
213
00:16:12,013 --> 00:16:14,475
but where they were worked to death
more often,
214
00:16:14,557 --> 00:16:18,771
and there was a famous quarry
where mostly Jewish inmates
215
00:16:18,853 --> 00:16:22,941
would have to carry rocks up what
were called The Stairs of Death.
216
00:16:25,401 --> 00:16:30,157
In an orgy of sadism, prisoners
who could not carry the stones
217
00:16:30,239 --> 00:16:33,159
were hurled to their death
from these steps
218
00:16:34,744 --> 00:16:38,916
and from this cliff known as
The Parachute Jump.
219
00:16:41,959 --> 00:16:44,003
Hellish sights like Mauthausen
220
00:16:44,088 --> 00:16:46,547
were omitted from Schdnstein
and Hoffmann's
221
00:16:46,632 --> 00:16:50,426
sanitized 3D celebration
of the Anschluss.
222
00:16:52,011 --> 00:16:57,685
But they managed to find room for
a sinister photo of an ancient lie.
223
00:16:59,436 --> 00:17:05,149
The notorious Jews' Stone of Rinn
depicted the supposed ritual murder
224
00:17:05,234 --> 00:17:09,654
of an Austrian boy by Jews
in the Middle Ages.
225
00:17:09,738 --> 00:17:13,117
It became a sight of pilgrimage
for the conquering Nazis.
226
00:17:15,493 --> 00:17:19,540
German soldiers and officers
would go to visit the village of Rinn
227
00:17:19,623 --> 00:17:23,918
and go and look at the Judenstein,
the rock upon which
228
00:17:24,001 --> 00:17:26,838
this 3-year-old child
was supposed to have been killed.
229
00:17:33,595 --> 00:17:38,767
By now, Germany had created the
most formidable military on Earth.
230
00:17:41,185 --> 00:17:45,148
Nazi propaganda was eager
to impress this fact on everyone,
231
00:17:45,690 --> 00:17:49,445
and 3D was a powerful way to do it.
232
00:17:50,653 --> 00:17:53,115
As of 1938, the German army was
233
00:17:53,197 --> 00:17:56,826
one of the most well-equipped
and modern armies of the entire world.
234
00:17:58,662 --> 00:18:03,416
Within roughly four years,
an army of just over 100,000 men
235
00:18:03,500 --> 00:18:06,586
rose to a standing army
of several hundred thousand.
236
00:18:12,091 --> 00:18:16,513
A series of 3D images showed off
Germany's military hardware.
237
00:18:20,684 --> 00:18:24,062
This is a Dornier Do-18 float plane.
238
00:18:25,104 --> 00:18:27,232
It's an amazing aircraft.
239
00:18:27,316 --> 00:18:29,568
It could be catapult-launched
off of a ship,
240
00:18:29,692 --> 00:18:31,736
and then it could be
recovered by winch
241
00:18:31,820 --> 00:18:34,031
and placed back on that catapult.
242
00:18:36,992 --> 00:18:39,744
This is such a great photograph
for anybody
243
00:18:39,827 --> 00:18:42,121
that's interested in the technology
associated with World War ll,
244
00:18:42,206 --> 00:18:45,708
because what you're seeing are
Panzerkampfvvagen ll.
245
00:18:45,793 --> 00:18:48,754
This is an earlier version
of the Mark ll Panzer.
246
00:18:48,836 --> 00:18:51,130
You can see
it looks like white crosses.
247
00:18:51,214 --> 00:18:54,801
The Germans marked their armored
vehicles with the Balkenkreuz,
248
00:18:54,885 --> 00:18:58,138
and this is an earlier version of it
than what you're used to seeing.
249
00:18:58,222 --> 00:19:00,224
These tanks would appear puny
250
00:19:00,306 --> 00:19:02,392
in comparison to tanks
from later in the war.
251
00:19:08,232 --> 00:19:10,775
With this vast arsenal in hand
252
00:19:10,859 --> 00:19:15,905
and having marched into Austria and
Czechoslovakia without firing a shot,
253
00:19:15,988 --> 00:19:19,450
Hitler was about to launch
his fateful invasion of Poland.
254
00:19:21,536 --> 00:19:25,331
It would lead to initial success
in a new kind of war
255
00:19:26,208 --> 00:19:30,170
and give Schdnstein and Hoffmann
remarkable opportunities
256
00:19:30,253 --> 00:19:34,675
to show the power of 3D
as it had never been shown before.
257
00:19:41,807 --> 00:19:47,604
In September 1939,
as Hitler invaded Poland
258
00:19:47,688 --> 00:19:51,107
and Europe descended into
the Second World War,
259
00:19:53,277 --> 00:19:58,197
Otto Schdnstein and Heinrich Hoffmann
faced a unique challenge,
260
00:19:58,281 --> 00:20:03,662
documenting the Nazis' rapid onslaught
with cumbersome 3D cameras.
261
00:20:03,744 --> 00:20:05,037
It's a little trickier.
262
00:20:05,121 --> 00:20:09,084
On the roll film, you're getting
six stereos on one roll,
263
00:20:09,167 --> 00:20:11,210
so you're changing film a lot
if you're gonna be using it,
264
00:20:11,294 --> 00:20:13,630
because you only got
six stereo pairs on a roll.
265
00:20:15,382 --> 00:20:17,593
They overcame these drawbacks
by training
266
00:20:17,676 --> 00:20:21,637
the Wehrmacht propaganda troops
to shoot in 3D.
267
00:20:25,266 --> 00:20:29,478
The result is a visceral record
of the rape of a nation.
268
00:20:32,773 --> 00:20:35,193
You can clearly tell
that this is 1939 Poland.
269
00:20:35,276 --> 00:20:39,238
This is not summer '40 in the
low countries. This is Poland in '39.
270
00:20:39,530 --> 00:20:43,492
And what I'm triggering off of
is these are German army.
271
00:20:43,577 --> 00:20:47,873
They're wearing what we typically call
the jack boots, the high leather boot.
272
00:20:48,165 --> 00:20:50,792
That's an item of footwear
that was issued in the German army,
273
00:20:50,876 --> 00:20:53,920
more in the early part of the war
than in the late part.
274
00:20:54,796 --> 00:20:56,924
And you can see
they've all been allowed
275
00:20:57,007 --> 00:21:00,177
to remove their helmets
and put on their soft cap.
276
00:21:02,262 --> 00:21:04,388
The 3D photographers documented
277
00:21:04,473 --> 00:21:09,770
the tragic destruction
of the Polish air force and navy
278
00:21:11,939 --> 00:21:16,734
and the ruin of Poland's cities
and infrastructure.
279
00:21:18,277 --> 00:21:20,030
It was a case of total war.
280
00:21:20,155 --> 00:21:23,491
No one in history had ever seen
such merciless attacks on civilians,
281
00:21:25,826 --> 00:21:30,123
such concentrated bombings,
such use of terror.
282
00:21:32,834 --> 00:21:37,797
The Polish military was no match for
the world's most mechanized army.
283
00:21:40,466 --> 00:21:45,680
We were powerless
against Hitler's mechanized forces,
284
00:21:46,515 --> 00:21:51,353
and Poland had great casualties,
especially half of the country was
285
00:21:51,436 --> 00:21:55,439
finally overrun by the Russians
who invaded from the east.
286
00:21:55,773 --> 00:21:58,317
So, Poland didn't have any chance.
287
00:22:04,449 --> 00:22:08,744
Hundreds of thousands of prisoners
were marched off to oblivion.
288
00:22:11,706 --> 00:22:14,667
This photo is clearly 1939.
289
00:22:14,751 --> 00:22:17,129
You can tell
by the German officer's tunic,
290
00:22:17,211 --> 00:22:19,923
and he is interrogating
Polish prisoners.
291
00:22:20,798 --> 00:22:24,969
I would imagine that those prisoners
on the left side of the photograph
292
00:22:25,052 --> 00:22:29,474
were a little bit concerned about
what the future had in store for them.
293
00:22:32,728 --> 00:22:35,396
It was a sad moment. People cried,
294
00:22:35,479 --> 00:22:38,774
and we saw them going
to the prison camps.
295
00:22:38,859 --> 00:22:41,820
It was a really horrible thing.
296
00:22:44,280 --> 00:22:47,199
On a wall that still held
a mobilization poster
297
00:22:47,284 --> 00:22:51,496
for the Polish army,
civilians now peered
298
00:22:51,580 --> 00:22:55,041
at ominous pronouncements
from their new masters.
299
00:22:57,293 --> 00:23:01,965
This is the first time Polish
resistance veteran Andre Ulankiewics
300
00:23:02,049 --> 00:23:06,010
has seen 3D photos
of a moment burned into his memory.
301
00:23:08,304 --> 00:23:11,391
You could not have a radio,
you could not have weapons.
302
00:23:11,475 --> 00:23:17,146
You could not buy illegal food.
Everything was punishable by death.
303
00:23:18,147 --> 00:23:23,235
You give refuge for a Jew,
you were killed right on the spot.
304
00:23:23,319 --> 00:23:26,322
Not you,
the entire family was wiped out.
305
00:23:28,366 --> 00:23:31,578
Hitler staged a triumphal parade
in Warsaw,
306
00:23:32,996 --> 00:23:38,667
ecstatic in part because he now held
captive three million Polish Jews.
307
00:23:42,339 --> 00:23:46,092
Schdnstein and Hoffmann
captioned this photo,
308
00:23:46,175 --> 00:23:49,179
"Lice-infected Jewish beds
being burned,"
309
00:23:50,387 --> 00:23:52,973
a caption fraught
with ominous meaning.
310
00:23:54,142 --> 00:23:59,772
In Nazi ideology, the Jew was often
compared to some sort of pest.
311
00:24:02,526 --> 00:24:07,530
Another caption sneered,
"Jews doing unfamiliar work."
312
00:24:09,449 --> 00:24:12,535
That statement obviously
plays with the prejudice
313
00:24:12,619 --> 00:24:15,454
that Jews were
not used to manual labor
314
00:24:15,539 --> 00:24:19,041
and that all they did was
rip off the population.
315
00:24:20,752 --> 00:24:23,587
Almost as soon as
the Germans moved into Poland
316
00:24:23,672 --> 00:24:26,967
and occupied the country,
they began to round up Jews.
317
00:24:27,049 --> 00:24:29,135
90% of the Jews in Poland
318
00:24:29,219 --> 00:24:31,595
would end up being killed
during the Holocaust.
319
00:24:35,599 --> 00:24:41,314
Then, on May 10th, 1940,
German armies and their 3D cameras
320
00:24:41,772 --> 00:24:46,694
swept across the borders of neutral
Belgium, Holland, and Luxembourg.
321
00:24:49,905 --> 00:24:53,742
It's problematic terrain because it's
criss-crossed by rivers and canals.
322
00:24:54,578 --> 00:24:56,830
It can be extremely difficult
for the movement
323
00:24:56,913 --> 00:24:59,457
of a modern, mechanized army.
324
00:25:01,168 --> 00:25:03,502
However, the German military
was ready for it.
325
00:25:03,586 --> 00:25:05,630
The leading descriptive word
326
00:25:05,714 --> 00:25:09,049
that characterizes
the 1940 campaign, fluidity.
327
00:25:09,133 --> 00:25:11,595
They did that by bringing in
engineering units,
328
00:25:11,677 --> 00:25:14,472
by bringing in units
that were capable of fording rivers
329
00:25:14,555 --> 00:25:16,515
and building bridges on the fly,
330
00:25:16,599 --> 00:25:19,185
and it allowed the Germans
to move swiftly.
331
00:25:21,812 --> 00:25:25,649
Never had a European army
moved so fast
332
00:25:25,733 --> 00:25:28,111
and so quickly
and with such devastating effect.
333
00:25:29,696 --> 00:25:32,699
After failing to stem
the Nazi onslaught,
334
00:25:32,781 --> 00:25:36,702
the British pushed back
to the French town of Dunkirk,
335
00:25:36,785 --> 00:25:40,123
which was devastated by German fire.
336
00:25:40,748 --> 00:25:44,711
But despite being surrounded,
the Allies were miraculously
337
00:25:44,794 --> 00:25:48,256
ferried back to England
on anything that could float.
338
00:25:49,089 --> 00:25:51,342
Three hundred and fifty thousand men
339
00:25:51,425 --> 00:25:55,012
were pulled off at Dunkirk,
but they left
340
00:25:55,096 --> 00:25:58,224
all their armament and their machinery
and their tanks behind.
341
00:26:00,142 --> 00:26:04,940
This photograph is definitely
showing Germans
342
00:26:05,022 --> 00:26:07,776
on the beach at Dunkirk in France.
343
00:26:08,485 --> 00:26:11,904
Look at that.
I have to say, as an Englishman,
344
00:26:11,987 --> 00:26:15,199
I love the Union Jack
up to the right here, fluttering.
345
00:26:16,952 --> 00:26:20,247
That's fantastic.
It's a great picture.
346
00:26:22,665 --> 00:26:27,003
Now, the road to Paris was wide open.
347
00:26:28,587 --> 00:26:31,258
Paris was declared an open city
by the French government,
348
00:26:31,341 --> 00:26:34,635
because they didn't want to see
the destruction of the capital.
349
00:26:35,094 --> 00:26:38,889
So the Germans actually
marched into Paris
350
00:26:38,973 --> 00:26:41,850
without any real resistance
by the French forces.
351
00:26:44,062 --> 00:26:46,606
Today, Paris's Arc de Triomphe
352
00:26:46,689 --> 00:26:49,818
and Place de la Concorde
hum with traffic.
353
00:26:54,698 --> 00:26:57,617
But on June 14th, 1940,
354
00:27:01,830 --> 00:27:05,582
the only sounds were
the echoes of German jack boots.
355
00:27:21,265 --> 00:27:23,727
In nine blood-drenched months,
356
00:27:24,226 --> 00:27:28,105
the Nazis had subjugated
the greater part of Europe
357
00:27:28,731 --> 00:27:31,901
and documented their rampage in 3D.
358
00:27:36,740 --> 00:27:41,118
But their interest in 3D would soon
reach beyond still photographs.
359
00:27:42,077 --> 00:27:44,330
Newly discovered
motion picture footage
360
00:27:44,413 --> 00:27:46,541
not seen since World War ll
361
00:27:46,623 --> 00:27:52,755
reveals Nazi soldiers in live action
3D for the very first time.
362
00:28:04,141 --> 00:28:07,478
In 1941, as Germany attacked
the Soviet Union
363
00:28:07,562 --> 00:28:11,524
and ramped up its war machine,
the Luftwaffe responded
364
00:28:14,527 --> 00:28:17,279
with perhaps the most
remarkable 3D imagery
365
00:28:17,364 --> 00:28:20,449
that has survived
the fall of the Third Reich.
366
00:28:29,459 --> 00:28:32,795
This film,
never before seen by the public,
367
00:28:32,878 --> 00:28:36,007
and newly restored for this program,
368
00:28:36,090 --> 00:28:40,470
is the only known 3D footage
showing German soldiers in action.
369
00:28:42,806 --> 00:28:46,643
A hundred thousand meters
of such 3D footage was shot.
370
00:28:48,102 --> 00:28:50,647
For safekeeping, it was moved
371
00:28:50,729 --> 00:28:54,484
to a Dresden church
in the war's waning days.
372
00:28:55,527 --> 00:29:01,198
When Dresden was firebombed in 1945,
most of it was destroyed.
373
00:29:04,244 --> 00:29:07,955
But this unique footage
somehow survived.
374
00:29:09,331 --> 00:29:13,627
Filmed outside a German city,
it shows how to aim and fire
375
00:29:13,711 --> 00:29:19,341
Germany's most effective flak gun,
the dreaded 88 millimeter,
376
00:29:21,343 --> 00:29:26,181
which also doubled as one of its top
all-purpose artillery weapons.
377
00:29:39,362 --> 00:29:43,324
This is the legendary
and infamous 88 millimeter gun.
378
00:29:43,408 --> 00:29:47,162
This is a weapon that could project
a 30-pound projectile
379
00:29:47,245 --> 00:29:51,541
to an altitude of 20,000 feet
against bombers flying in formation.
380
00:29:51,875 --> 00:29:55,878
An extremely lethal, and a very, very
dangerous anti-aircraft weapon.
381
00:29:57,880 --> 00:30:01,800
A well-trained crew could fire
15 to 20 rounds per minute
382
00:30:05,388 --> 00:30:07,390
with devastating results.
383
00:30:16,191 --> 00:30:18,776
Here, a Luftwaffe
artillery lieutenant,
384
00:30:18,860 --> 00:30:23,572
clearly identifiable by his
silver wreath and seagull collar tabs,
385
00:30:23,740 --> 00:30:26,701
demonstrates how to aim
and fire the 88
386
00:30:28,244 --> 00:30:32,664
against the relentless
Allied air fleets decimating Germany.
387
00:30:35,584 --> 00:30:40,924
Height and distance are calculated.
Orders are repeated down the line.
388
00:30:48,389 --> 00:30:52,559
When the 88 fires a shell, it explodes
389
00:30:52,644 --> 00:30:57,356
into a lethal cloud of flak
in the path of the target aircraft.
390
00:31:02,695 --> 00:31:06,490
This device is actually
a stereoscopic range finder.
391
00:31:07,449 --> 00:31:10,369
These soldiers being filmed in 3D
392
00:31:10,452 --> 00:31:15,040
were using 3D technology themselves
to track their targets.
393
00:31:17,085 --> 00:31:19,836
Flak crews themselves
took heavy casualties.
394
00:31:21,755 --> 00:31:24,383
So a film like this was likely part
395
00:31:24,466 --> 00:31:27,970
of the Luftwaffe's desperate race
to train replacements.
396
00:31:32,016 --> 00:31:36,980
The film also shows a soldier
learning to aim and fire a Mauser,
397
00:31:37,062 --> 00:31:39,982
the most important rifle
in the German arsenal.
398
00:31:45,363 --> 00:31:49,033
Always efficient,
Germans even produced a film
399
00:31:49,116 --> 00:31:52,327
showing precisely how
to project this footage
400
00:31:52,411 --> 00:31:55,748
and view it with
the Nazi's 3D glasses.
401
00:31:59,293 --> 00:32:02,589
The Nazis had used 3D
mainly for propaganda.
402
00:32:03,673 --> 00:32:07,050
Now, with the Allies
struggling to take the offensive,
403
00:32:07,135 --> 00:32:11,888
the British and Americans
would use 3D to fight back.
404
00:32:13,932 --> 00:32:18,896
The key lay in its ability to
revolutionize aerial reconnaissance.
405
00:32:19,856 --> 00:32:21,940
Three-dimensional
photo reconnaissance images
406
00:32:22,024 --> 00:32:24,861
provide the ability to reveal
structures on the ground,
407
00:32:24,943 --> 00:32:28,530
how big they were, how tall they were,
and then more importantly,
408
00:32:28,615 --> 00:32:31,034
they were able to reveal topography.
409
00:32:31,116 --> 00:32:35,287
How high a ridge was,
or how deep a ravine cut.
410
00:32:37,790 --> 00:32:41,961
Aerial 3D was used
to its most devastating effect
411
00:32:42,045 --> 00:32:45,214
on the effort to bring the war home
to the German people.
412
00:32:48,176 --> 00:32:50,470
For three or four years, the Allies
413
00:32:50,553 --> 00:32:54,098
could not land troops
in occupied Europe.
414
00:32:54,181 --> 00:32:58,561
They had to use war from the air,
what was called strategic bombing.
415
00:33:03,940 --> 00:33:06,234
So aerial reconnaissance
and photography
416
00:33:06,318 --> 00:33:10,906
was absolutely paramount
to the defeat of the Third Reich.
417
00:33:13,326 --> 00:33:18,914
German cities began to be incinerated
in the fiercest maelstrom in history.
418
00:33:22,626 --> 00:33:24,795
In June of 1944,
419
00:33:24,878 --> 00:33:28,841
the Allies prepared to storm
these beaches in Normandy,
420
00:33:28,925 --> 00:33:34,514
and 3D came into play again,
this time in support
421
00:33:34,596 --> 00:33:38,767
of the largest amphibious assault
mankind has ever attempted.
422
00:33:39,894 --> 00:33:42,605
We were photographing those beaches
a year before we landed on them.
423
00:33:46,234 --> 00:33:51,905
As the sun peeked through
the gray dawn of June 6th, 1944,
424
00:33:51,989 --> 00:33:56,034
Germans stared in disbelief
from these bunkers
425
00:33:56,702 --> 00:34:00,038
as a quarter of a million men
in over 5,000 ships
426
00:34:00,123 --> 00:34:02,500
blanketed the English Channel.
427
00:34:05,086 --> 00:34:10,174
The Allies faced an inferno,
especially here at Omaha Beach.
428
00:34:12,342 --> 00:34:16,055
Casualties were extremely high.
The Germans were capable of laying
429
00:34:16,139 --> 00:34:18,725
withering fire
on the beaches themselves.
430
00:34:24,771 --> 00:34:26,732
After the war,
431
00:34:26,816 --> 00:34:31,820
the American company, View-Master,
released a set of 3D images
432
00:34:31,903 --> 00:34:35,824
showing the toll
Normandy paid for liberation.
433
00:34:39,035 --> 00:34:43,124
3D photography had given
the Allies an important edge
434
00:34:43,206 --> 00:34:48,004
in the bombing campaign over Germany
and the victory on D-Day.
435
00:34:51,131 --> 00:34:54,510
Now, as the war
raced to its conclusion,
436
00:34:57,929 --> 00:35:01,017
3D would record, in color,
437
00:35:01,100 --> 00:35:05,229
one of the most exhilarating moments
of the 20th century
438
00:35:05,521 --> 00:35:09,608
and ultimately preserve
a haunting 3D record
439
00:35:09,691 --> 00:35:12,194
of the tragic consequences of war.
440
00:35:17,283 --> 00:35:19,869
As Germany collapsed around him,
441
00:35:19,952 --> 00:35:24,457
Nazi 3D publisher Otto Schdnstein
stopped publishing
442
00:35:24,539 --> 00:35:28,502
and started racing to save
his archive from the bombs.
443
00:35:32,714 --> 00:35:34,884
But as the Allies sped across France,
444
00:35:35,885 --> 00:35:40,263
one dapper young Frenchman was
in the right place at the right time
445
00:35:40,348 --> 00:35:44,184
to create a remarkable record
of the liberation of Paris,
446
00:35:45,561 --> 00:35:50,233
the only 3D photos in color
known to have survived the war.
447
00:35:54,861 --> 00:35:58,740
Today, in an airy house
in the Parisian suburb of Boissy,
448
00:36:00,116 --> 00:36:04,163
97-year-old orchid grower
Marcel Lecoufle
449
00:36:04,247 --> 00:36:07,541
photographs one of his
prize specimens in 3D.
450
00:36:08,459 --> 00:36:11,921
He's been taking such pictures
for over 80 years.
451
00:36:16,217 --> 00:36:19,846
I started photographing orchids
in 1928.
452
00:36:24,350 --> 00:36:27,353
My family's been involved
in cultivating orchids
453
00:36:27,435 --> 00:36:30,189
for five generations.
454
00:36:32,357 --> 00:36:34,985
The German occupation
had made his hobby
455
00:36:35,069 --> 00:36:38,238
not only difficult
but potentially dangerous.
456
00:36:41,200 --> 00:36:45,036
The Germans totally prohibited
any photographs,
457
00:36:45,121 --> 00:36:48,082
but the other problem was
finding the film.
458
00:36:48,165 --> 00:36:52,378
There were some stores that had it,
but it was difficult to find.
459
00:36:55,463 --> 00:36:59,634
Still, on his daily bike rides
to the Paris flower market,
460
00:36:59,718 --> 00:37:03,263
Lecoufle couldn't resist defying
the Nazi ban.
461
00:37:04,974 --> 00:37:08,561
His photos portray
a deceptively lovely Paris
462
00:37:08,644 --> 00:37:11,396
that hasn't changed much today,
463
00:37:11,480 --> 00:37:14,691
but was groaning
under a brutal occupation.
464
00:37:17,486 --> 00:37:23,825
Then, in August 1944, American bombs
and even some planes
465
00:37:23,910 --> 00:37:27,579
began crashing around
Lecoufle's suburban doorstep.
466
00:37:31,499 --> 00:37:35,211
We heard that the Americans were
landing at Normandy on the radio,
467
00:37:35,296 --> 00:37:38,131
on radios that were
jammed by the Germans
468
00:37:38,215 --> 00:37:41,510
who didn't want us to find out
what might be happening.
469
00:37:42,969 --> 00:37:47,433
With the Germans fleeing
and the Allies approaching,
470
00:37:47,515 --> 00:37:51,144
destruction rained from the skies
around Boissy.
471
00:37:54,022 --> 00:37:58,444
The photograph of the big fire
was taken after a bombing attack,
472
00:37:58,526 --> 00:38:02,573
and that was gasoline burning,
so the smoke was horrendous.
473
00:38:06,243 --> 00:38:11,539
Then Boissy erupted with joy
as the Yanks poured in.
474
00:38:21,633 --> 00:38:25,220
Locals were curious to see
black American soldiers
475
00:38:25,303 --> 00:38:27,472
billeted in the woods nearby.
476
00:38:33,395 --> 00:38:36,272
I have taken this photo
in the bois de la Grange
477
00:38:36,356 --> 00:38:39,651
three kilometers from here.
478
00:38:39,735 --> 00:38:42,321
One morning,
these Americans were washing up
479
00:38:42,405 --> 00:38:45,699
and I just so happened
to take that photo.
480
00:38:49,369 --> 00:38:51,663
But while Boissy rejoiced,
481
00:38:52,247 --> 00:38:57,586
Paris was roiled in a desperate
insurrection just a few miles away.
482
00:39:00,171 --> 00:39:05,094
The barricades were up
and French partisans struggled
483
00:39:05,177 --> 00:39:09,556
to defend their headquarters here,
the police prefecture.
484
00:39:11,392 --> 00:39:15,229
Then, on August 24th, Paris went wild
485
00:39:15,312 --> 00:39:19,357
as French and American troops
roared into the city,
486
00:39:19,442 --> 00:39:21,860
and the Germans threw down their arms.
487
00:39:24,821 --> 00:39:27,241
Sam Dimas recalls what has been called
488
00:39:27,324 --> 00:39:30,368
"the greatest party
of the 20th century."
489
00:39:32,747 --> 00:39:35,041
When we paraded down
the Champs-Elysées,
490
00:39:35,124 --> 00:39:39,461
you don't go through the opening of
the Arc de Triomphe, you go around it.
491
00:39:39,544 --> 00:39:42,130
So we had to double time
to go around it.
492
00:39:43,423 --> 00:39:46,384
The French girls were
all over their liberators.
493
00:39:46,469 --> 00:39:49,220
I think we had four or five guys
that went AWOL.
494
00:39:51,222 --> 00:39:53,976
Determined not to miss the party,
495
00:39:54,059 --> 00:39:59,397
Lecoufle grabbed his 3D camera,
jumped on his bike and raced to Paris.
496
00:40:04,527 --> 00:40:06,655
There was general elation,
497
00:40:06,739 --> 00:40:09,658
and the Americans arrived
over by the police station,
498
00:40:09,783 --> 00:40:13,036
and someone said
there was a tank approaching.
499
00:40:14,205 --> 00:40:18,792
So the Americans put on their helmets,
but the people didn't want to leave.
500
00:40:18,875 --> 00:40:22,296
They stayed there, and luckily,
the tank turned around.
501
00:40:32,431 --> 00:40:36,392
But amid the joy,
Lecoufle also photographed
502
00:40:36,476 --> 00:40:39,230
the deadly cost of liberation.
503
00:40:42,357 --> 00:40:44,819
You have an American truck
at the entrance
504
00:40:44,901 --> 00:40:47,738
to the Luxembourg Gardens,
and you can see on the wall
505
00:40:47,821 --> 00:40:50,365
all the bullet holes
which are white dots.
506
00:40:58,374 --> 00:41:01,167
Marcel Lecoufle shot the last known
507
00:41:01,251 --> 00:41:04,338
3D photographs taken
during the war itself.
508
00:41:06,507 --> 00:41:10,552
But they're not the final story of 3D
in World War ll.
509
00:41:12,595 --> 00:41:16,224
Nine months later,
with Germany defeated
510
00:41:16,308 --> 00:41:19,477
and Nazi photo chief
Heinrich Hoffmann in prison,
511
00:41:19,562 --> 00:41:23,566
a nearly bankrupt Otto Schdnstein
found a new subject
512
00:41:23,648 --> 00:41:28,112
for his 3D cameras,
the ruins of his country.
513
00:41:31,615 --> 00:41:35,076
Returning to historic sites
he had shot before the war,
514
00:41:37,079 --> 00:41:39,748
Schdnstein recorded
the devastating results
515
00:41:39,832 --> 00:41:43,419
of Germany's blind obedience
to Adolph Hitler.
516
00:41:45,420 --> 00:41:50,091
Today, Germans have rebuilt
many of their cultural treasures,
517
00:41:52,094 --> 00:41:54,388
like Munich's Residenz Theater,
518
00:42:05,273 --> 00:42:07,776
its Renaissance Antiquarium,
519
00:42:19,830 --> 00:42:22,458
and Nuremberg's Heiden Tower.
520
00:42:26,045 --> 00:42:29,756
But the scars these pictures
represent for Europe
521
00:42:29,840 --> 00:42:33,761
and for civilization
are not so easily healed.
522
00:42:35,011 --> 00:42:37,973
I spend my life attempting
to understand that conflict,
523
00:42:38,057 --> 00:42:41,059
why it was necessary for humankind
to go down the road
524
00:42:41,142 --> 00:42:44,103
of being involved in a conflict
that ultimately cost,
525
00:42:44,188 --> 00:42:47,649
although people argue about it,
I believe it's over 100 million lives.
526
00:42:50,568 --> 00:42:54,530
Otto Schénstein died
a broken man in 1958,
527
00:42:56,366 --> 00:43:00,079
leaving behind an eerie,
disturbing 3D record
528
00:43:00,162 --> 00:43:03,248
of the darkest days of modern times.
529
00:43:09,379 --> 00:43:13,383
Monsieur Lecoufle
still photographs in 3D
530
00:43:13,467 --> 00:43:18,722
and anticipates great days ahead
for his hobby of 83 years.
531
00:43:23,685 --> 00:43:27,689
Television would be perfect
if it were in three dimensions.
532
00:43:27,773 --> 00:43:31,151
The proof of that is when
photography first arrived,
533
00:43:31,234 --> 00:43:35,906
3D was already around,
and now it's making a comeback.
534
00:43:42,830 --> 00:43:45,540
That comeback now gives
a new dimension
535
00:43:45,623 --> 00:43:51,087
to the villainy of the Nazis,
the heroism of their opponents,
536
00:43:51,713 --> 00:43:56,342
and the crucial ways that 3D itself
helped to build up
537
00:43:56,427 --> 00:44:01,264
and then tear down
the 1,000-year Reich.
