1
00:00:01,090 --> 00:00:03,500
Adolf Hitler is the very personification
2
00:00:03,500 --> 00:00:05,029
of evil
3
00:00:05,029 --> 00:00:08,210
Hitler is the most genocide Lee evil
4
00:00:08,210 --> 00:00:10,550
dictator that there ever was he is
5
00:00:10,550 --> 00:00:12,380
responsible for the deaths of six
6
00:00:12,380 --> 00:00:15,650
million Jews hundreds of thousands of
7
00:00:15,650 --> 00:00:19,399
Slavs gypsies homosexuals and people
8
00:00:19,399 --> 00:00:21,250
with mental and physical disabilities
9
00:00:21,250 --> 00:00:24,590
the screams the horror of men women and
10
00:00:24,590 --> 00:00:26,390
children piled on top of one another
11
00:00:26,390 --> 00:00:30,079
horror scenes worse than Dante's Inferno
12
00:00:30,079 --> 00:00:32,870
will be enacted this is the story of a
13
00:00:32,870 --> 00:00:36,020
man so diabolical he convinces a nation
14
00:00:36,020 --> 00:00:39,050
of sophisticated civilized people to be
15
00:00:39,050 --> 00:00:41,170
complicit in his sickening crimes
16
00:00:41,170 --> 00:00:44,450
planned organized industrial scale
17
00:00:44,450 --> 00:00:46,520
destruction of a whole people that is
18
00:00:46,520 --> 00:00:48,350
new that is something horrific aleinu
19
00:00:48,350 --> 00:00:52,250
and how a man born like any other can
20
00:00:52,250 --> 00:00:54,050
turn into the most malevolent dictator
21
00:00:54,050 --> 00:00:58,450
the world has ever seen
22
00:01:23,619 --> 00:01:26,540
as soon as the soviets break through the
23
00:01:26,540 --> 00:01:30,380
German front in early 1945 the outcome
24
00:01:30,380 --> 00:01:33,369
of World War two is true
25
00:01:33,369 --> 00:01:36,219
the Nazi Fuhrer Adolf Hitler knows
26
00:01:36,219 --> 00:01:40,210
defeat is inevitable even so on January
27
00:01:40,210 --> 00:01:43,179
the 30th the 12th anniversary of his
28
00:01:43,179 --> 00:01:45,549
assumption to power he makes one last
29
00:01:45,549 --> 00:01:51,759
public address I expect every German to
30
00:01:51,759 --> 00:01:54,399
do his duty to the last and that he be
31
00:01:54,399 --> 00:01:56,799
willing to take upon himself every
32
00:01:56,799 --> 00:02:01,719
sacrifice he will be asked to make for
33
00:02:01,719 --> 00:02:02,409
10 minutes
34
00:02:02,409 --> 00:02:04,509
Hitler warns his people that after the
35
00:02:04,509 --> 00:02:07,299
war the European nations would not be
36
00:02:07,299 --> 00:02:10,000
able to withstand Bolshevism and calls
37
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:12,120
on them to rise up against the Soviets
38
00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:14,739
even if it means all of Germany will
39
00:02:14,739 --> 00:02:18,910
come crumbling down it was a Samson who
40
00:02:18,910 --> 00:02:20,950
wanted to pull down the pillars of the
41
00:02:20,950 --> 00:02:24,910
temple upon him for the Fuhrer he and
42
00:02:24,910 --> 00:02:27,760
the German state are one what he wants
43
00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:32,970
it wants and if he dies it must die too
44
00:02:32,970 --> 00:02:35,950
so Hitler orders his men to carry out
45
00:02:35,950 --> 00:02:39,430
the Nero decree the destruction of his
46
00:02:39,430 --> 00:02:41,319
country's infrastructure as a punishment
47
00:02:41,319 --> 00:02:44,829
for its defeat yet the lingering
48
00:02:44,829 --> 00:02:47,380
question to this day is not that this
49
00:02:47,380 --> 00:02:50,739
madman is losing the war but how someone
50
00:02:50,739 --> 00:02:53,260
who holds such deranged views came to
51
00:02:53,260 --> 00:02:56,459
power in the first place
52
00:03:01,050 --> 00:03:04,810
in the spring of 1889 in a small
53
00:03:04,810 --> 00:03:07,390
apartment in Bern now on the in Austria
54
00:03:07,390 --> 00:03:11,200
a town near the German border adult
55
00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:15,220
Hitler is born the fourth of what will
56
00:03:15,220 --> 00:03:17,350
be six children for this devout Roman
57
00:03:17,350 --> 00:03:20,080
Catholic family young Adolf is quickly
58
00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:22,090
acquainted with death as he witnesses
59
00:03:22,090 --> 00:03:24,670
three brothers and a sister died in
60
00:03:24,670 --> 00:03:27,120
infancy
61
00:03:27,830 --> 00:03:34,430
then there's his father Alois he was
62
00:03:34,430 --> 00:03:36,380
someone who would come back home having
63
00:03:36,380 --> 00:03:39,620
had a drink and would be violent would
64
00:03:39,620 --> 00:03:44,990
be abusive he didn't spare the rod he
65
00:03:44,990 --> 00:03:47,780
thrashed Hitler teaching him from very
66
00:03:47,780 --> 00:03:50,390
early on that Mike was right and that
67
00:03:50,390 --> 00:03:54,320
strength and brutality were allied to
68
00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:58,220
domination some beatings are so bad that
69
00:03:58,220 --> 00:04:00,830
his mother Clara throws herself across
70
00:04:00,830 --> 00:04:04,600
her son to take the blows herself
71
00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:07,459
according to her doctor Edouard Bloch
72
00:04:07,459 --> 00:04:10,220
she was above all absorbed in the care
73
00:04:10,220 --> 00:04:11,209
of her children
74
00:04:11,209 --> 00:04:13,880
and although Adolf was not a mother's
75
00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:16,339
boy in the usual sense I have never
76
00:04:16,339 --> 00:04:20,559
witnessed a closer attachment
77
00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:22,089
[Music]
78
00:04:22,089 --> 00:04:27,550
in 1900 Hitler moves to Lintz and enters
79
00:04:27,550 --> 00:04:29,350
high school where he is introduced to a
80
00:04:29,350 --> 00:04:31,960
doctrine that will influence him his
81
00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:35,590
entire life it will give him a sense of
82
00:04:35,590 --> 00:04:38,980
purpose he never had he had a history
83
00:04:38,980 --> 00:04:41,680
teacher called Leopold pooch who was
84
00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:43,330
fired up with the idea of German
85
00:04:43,330 --> 00:04:46,240
nationalism Austria is part of a vast
86
00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:49,960
empire with ancient roots Germany is
87
00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:51,970
then a newly created country dating from
88
00:04:51,970 --> 00:04:55,360
just 1866 both peoples speak the same
89
00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:58,000
language and a radical idea is dawning
90
00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:04,660
that the two should become one it was
91
00:05:04,660 --> 00:05:07,180
melding together extreme nationalism and
92
00:05:07,180 --> 00:05:10,510
patriotism to make a person believe in
93
00:05:10,510 --> 00:05:13,210
their country passionately and be part
94
00:05:13,210 --> 00:05:16,590
of their racial community
95
00:05:16,590 --> 00:05:19,530
[Music]
96
00:05:19,530 --> 00:05:22,060
Hitler took that idea that the Germans
97
00:05:22,060 --> 00:05:24,970
should be united together in this kind
98
00:05:24,970 --> 00:05:36,040
of pan German greater German ray in 1907
99
00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:39,190
at just 16 years old Hitler leaves
100
00:05:39,190 --> 00:05:41,290
school for the Austrian capital Vienna
101
00:05:41,290 --> 00:05:45,850
one of Europe's greatest cities the
102
00:05:45,850 --> 00:05:48,370
young Hitler is armed with a thick set
103
00:05:48,370 --> 00:05:50,860
of drawings determined to train at the
104
00:05:50,860 --> 00:05:54,010
prestigious Academy of Arts
105
00:05:54,010 --> 00:05:58,660
over 100 candidates apply 28 are to be
106
00:05:58,660 --> 00:06:00,870
chosen
107
00:06:02,410 --> 00:06:05,870
he submits drawings these were examined
108
00:06:05,870 --> 00:06:07,550
in the notes that they left examiner's
109
00:06:07,550 --> 00:06:10,880
they say reasonable drawings heads very
110
00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:14,480
poorly done no great talent we do not
111
00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:17,720
recommend admission rejection is
112
00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:20,600
followed by a deep personal loss when
113
00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:23,990
his mother Clara dies of cancer
114
00:06:23,990 --> 00:06:27,850
then comes a final blow
115
00:06:28,529 --> 00:06:32,549
he is rejected by the Academy again the
116
00:06:32,549 --> 00:06:34,229
second rejection is the more disturbing
117
00:06:34,229 --> 00:06:36,029
world because this was absolute now he
118
00:06:36,029 --> 00:06:41,009
had no chance returning Hitler plunges
119
00:06:41,009 --> 00:06:44,849
into a deep depression he makes no
120
00:06:44,849 --> 00:06:47,519
attempt to find a job and joins the
121
00:06:47,519 --> 00:06:52,469
multitude of men out of work finally he
122
00:06:52,469 --> 00:06:54,089
ends up in a homeless hostel an
123
00:06:54,089 --> 00:06:56,699
experience that will brutalize him
124
00:06:56,699 --> 00:07:01,889
forever I owe it to that period that I
125
00:07:01,889 --> 00:07:05,009
grew hard and I'm still capable of being
126
00:07:05,009 --> 00:07:07,579
hard
127
00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:14,220
to survive he sells pictures of Viennese
128
00:07:14,220 --> 00:07:17,250
buildings and he also becomes a close
129
00:07:17,250 --> 00:07:21,389
observer of politics he is repelled but
130
00:07:21,389 --> 00:07:23,700
fascinated by the growing socialist
131
00:07:23,700 --> 00:07:27,330
movement he really thought unless the
132
00:07:27,330 --> 00:07:30,419
rice can find an antidote to this we're
133
00:07:30,419 --> 00:07:33,450
gonna have a communist world he's
134
00:07:33,450 --> 00:07:36,300
especially intrigued by one of their
135
00:07:36,300 --> 00:07:38,480
tactics
136
00:07:38,870 --> 00:07:41,090
[Applause]
137
00:07:41,090 --> 00:07:43,680
what did influence him was the way that
138
00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:46,020
the Socialists used violence on the
139
00:07:46,020 --> 00:07:48,180
streets to make sure that they got their
140
00:07:48,180 --> 00:07:51,169
point across I achieved an equal
141
00:07:51,169 --> 00:07:53,430
understanding of the importance of
142
00:07:53,430 --> 00:07:55,710
physical terror to what the individual
143
00:07:55,710 --> 00:08:04,140
and the masses other observations start
144
00:08:04,140 --> 00:08:07,919
stirring in Hitler's head Vienna in 1910
145
00:08:07,919 --> 00:08:12,169
has a huge Jewish population
146
00:08:12,440 --> 00:08:16,010
there are more than 175,000 Jews living
147
00:08:16,010 --> 00:08:19,190
in the city and Hitler starts to loathe
148
00:08:19,190 --> 00:08:24,080
them wherever I went I now saw Jews and
149
00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:27,140
the more I saw the more sharply they set
150
00:08:27,140 --> 00:08:29,720
themselves apart in my eyes from the
151
00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:30,920
rest of humanity
152
00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:33,219
I had ceased to be a weak-kneed
153
00:08:33,219 --> 00:08:36,700
cosmopolitan and became an anti-semite
154
00:08:36,700 --> 00:08:40,520
at a mere 21 years of age the main
155
00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:42,740
building blocks of the Nazis evil
156
00:08:42,740 --> 00:08:45,650
ideology are coming together intense
157
00:08:45,650 --> 00:08:49,190
personal hardness extreme nationalism a
158
00:08:49,190 --> 00:08:51,860
belief in the use of violence and terror
159
00:08:51,860 --> 00:08:56,780
and a loathing of Jews Vienna was and
160
00:08:56,780 --> 00:08:59,090
remained for me the hardest though most
161
00:08:59,090 --> 00:09:02,540
thorough school of my life in it I
162
00:09:02,540 --> 00:09:05,210
obtained the foundations for a political
163
00:09:05,210 --> 00:09:08,870
view which never left me then in August
164
00:09:08,870 --> 00:09:11,840
1914 comes an event that will affect
165
00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:14,300
Hitler and all german-speaking peoples
166
00:09:14,300 --> 00:09:24,830
in a most horrific way world war 1 at 25
167
00:09:24,830 --> 00:09:27,260
he apparently joins the cheering crowds
168
00:09:27,260 --> 00:09:30,710
on the first day of the war there's a
169
00:09:30,710 --> 00:09:32,060
famous photo of him
170
00:09:32,060 --> 00:09:33,920
in the midst of a crowd in the audience
171
00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:35,960
Platts grinning broadly at the
172
00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:38,170
announcement that war had broken out
173
00:09:38,170 --> 00:09:41,090
smiling because he really thinks that
174
00:09:41,090 --> 00:09:43,970
Germany can make its bid for European
175
00:09:43,970 --> 00:09:46,250
power and he wants to be part of it and
176
00:09:46,250 --> 00:09:49,130
on that very day he signs up to fight
177
00:09:49,130 --> 00:09:51,480
for the German army
178
00:09:51,480 --> 00:09:53,970
the young German nationalist Adolphe
179
00:09:53,970 --> 00:09:56,340
Hitler joins a Bavarian Infantry
180
00:09:56,340 --> 00:10:00,570
Regiment as a messenger his job is to
181
00:10:00,570 --> 00:10:02,820
take vital information up to the front
182
00:10:02,820 --> 00:10:08,340
line of carrying messages was not a safe
183
00:10:08,340 --> 00:10:11,580
option the regiment suffered very very
184
00:10:11,580 --> 00:10:14,730
high casualties indeed and Hitler had
185
00:10:14,730 --> 00:10:16,320
found out that he wasn't a coward that
186
00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:18,030
he could stand the fact that bullets
187
00:10:18,030 --> 00:10:21,660

188
00:10:21,660 --> 00:10:24,150
first year Hitler is awarded the coveted
189
00:10:24,150 --> 00:10:28,020
Iron Cross for bravery he also shows his
190
00:10:28,020 --> 00:10:31,010
characteristic refusal to compromise
191
00:10:31,010 --> 00:10:33,690

how dare they said fraternize in a war

these are the enemy you can't shake the
196
00:10:46,370 --> 00:10:48,080
hands of the enemy who were going to
197
00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:51,080
kill no this war was a fight to the
198
00:10:51,080 --> 00:10:54,100
finish and he wanted Germany to win it
199
00:10:54,100 --> 00:10:59,680
but in 1918 his luck runs out
200
00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:04,090
at the Battle of Ypres he's blinded by a
201
00:11:04,090 --> 00:11:07,120
British poisoned gas attack particularly
202
00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:08,950
virulent sort of gas called mustard gas
203
00:11:08,950 --> 00:11:11,020
which attacks the the the lungs the
204
00:11:11,020 --> 00:11:14,140
eyelids the soft tissues the wounded
205
00:11:14,140 --> 00:11:16,090
Hitler is transported to a military
206
00:11:16,090 --> 00:11:18,370
hospital in northern Germany for
207
00:11:18,370 --> 00:11:25,450
treatment usually when a soldier is
208
00:11:25,450 --> 00:11:27,730
particularly affected by that attack he
209
00:11:27,730 --> 00:11:30,280
is blinded but the blindness goes away
210
00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:33,810
in a few hours of days but strangely
211
00:11:33,810 --> 00:11:37,660
Hitler's eyesight doesn't return his
212
00:11:37,660 --> 00:11:40,720
doctors can't understand it one story
213
00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:42,940
goes they ask a leading German
214
00:11:42,940 --> 00:11:46,450
psychologist Edmund Forster to take a
215
00:11:46,450 --> 00:11:48,090
look at him
216
00:11:48,090 --> 00:11:50,790
Forster concludes that his blindness is
217
00:11:50,790 --> 00:11:58,210
hysterical not physical he prescribes
218
00:11:58,210 --> 00:12:00,880
that the only way to cure Hitler is to
219
00:12:00,880 --> 00:12:05,200
boost his ego Forster hypnotizes Hitler
220
00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:07,839
and tells him that he is blind but as
221
00:12:07,839 --> 00:12:10,210
God has made him an exceptional person
222
00:12:10,210 --> 00:12:13,480
he can regain his eyesight again through
223
00:12:13,480 --> 00:12:16,120
sheer willpower Hitler would have
224
00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:18,430
learned that despite his humble rank and
225
00:12:18,430 --> 00:12:20,500
his humble background he was a special
226
00:12:20,500 --> 00:12:23,050
being and the idea that he had been
227
00:12:23,050 --> 00:12:26,200
singled out by destiny for a special
228
00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:29,500
role in history Forster allegedly tells
229
00:12:29,500 --> 00:12:31,839
Hitler that he is the person who can
230
00:12:31,839 --> 00:12:35,530
make Germany great again it's a message
231
00:12:35,530 --> 00:12:38,860
that Hitler takes to heart he is not
232
00:12:38,860 --> 00:12:41,130
like
233
00:12:42,180 --> 00:12:44,529
forrester then holds a lit candle in
234
00:12:44,529 --> 00:12:47,079
front of hitler's eyes and says that if
235
00:12:47,079 --> 00:12:50,199
he can see the flame he's cured the mind
236
00:12:50,199 --> 00:12:54,710
game works Hitler's vision returns
237
00:12:54,710 --> 00:12:57,710

238
00:12:57,710 --> 00:12:59,340

Adolf Hitler is some devastating news

he says the trembling posture came in
243
00:13:17,060 --> 00:13:19,700
and said Germany had surrendered the war
244
00:13:19,700 --> 00:13:23,810

Hitler makes a promise to himself when I
251
00:13:42,830 --> 00:13:46,040
was confined to bed the idea came to me
252
00:13:46,040 --> 00:13:48,980
that I would liberate Germany that I
253
00:13:48,980 --> 00:13:51,320
would make it great I knew immediately
254
00:13:51,320 --> 00:13:59,089
that it would be realized by 1919 the
255
00:13:59,089 --> 00:14:01,190
30-year old Hitler returns to a Munich

00:14:06,590 --> 00:14:08,750
surrendered because it had been betrayed
260
00:14:08,750 --> 00:14:11,690
by left-wing politicians many of whom
261
00:14:11,690 --> 00:14:14,360
were Jews who plotted to ensure
262
00:14:14,360 --> 00:14:17,300
Germany's defeat he viewed that
263
00:14:17,300 --> 00:14:19,970
Armistice in 1918 as a stab in the back
264
00:14:19,970 --> 00:14:21,260
for the German military and had been
265
00:14:21,260 --> 00:14:24,020
done in his mind by the politicians of

do have rousing meetings in beer halls

he loves their coolest bashing and

rhetoric and their hatred of the Jews
277
00:14:55,309 --> 00:14:57,599

00:14:57,599 --> 00:15:00,509
Hitler's passion as a speech maker and

00:15:50,870 --> 00:15:53,030
very much with Hitler's own philosophy

of force and violence at this stage

00:15:57,860 --> 00:16:00,050
Hitler's aim is to seize power by force

autobiography and political manifesto it
340
00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:42,880

Hitler talks about how Germany is a

00:18:46,690 --> 00:18:51,520
racially superior nation it's an idea
344
00:18:51,520 --> 00:18:53,830
that comes from a bastardized version of
345

to a race whose blood is stronger than
349
00:19:03,130 --> 00:19:07,170
that of all other peoples the Aryans
350
00:19:07,170 --> 00:19:11,020
proof of the Aryan superiority would be

their ability to dominate other peoples
352
00:19:13,920 --> 00:19:17,470
he very much identified the Aryan idea

characteristics such as blond hair blue
356
00:19:25,870 --> 00:19:27,520

00:20:14,410 --> 00:20:17,380
finance so banking and the loan system
374
00:20:17,380 --> 00:20:20,380
was tied up with Jews very easy
375
00:20:20,380 --> 00:20:22,900
therefore a bankrupt nation bankrupt in
376
00:20:22,900 --> 00:20:25,480
money and in ideas to turn on the Jews
377
00:20:25,480 --> 00:20:27,760
as the obvious explanation the
378
00:20:27,760 --> 00:20:30,310
personification of the devil as the
379
00:20:30,310 --> 00:20:33,130
symbol of all evil assumes the living
380
00:20:33,130 --> 00:20:36,490
shape of the Jew he denounces the Jews
381
00:20:36,490 --> 00:20:39,100
as the agents of Germany's downfall as
382
00:20:39,100 --> 00:20:42,820
an inherently corrupt enemy within who
383
00:20:42,820 --> 00:20:47,070
must be destroyed must be eliminated
384
00:20:48,480 --> 00:20:52,000
anti-semitism is nothing new in Germany
385
00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:55,870
or Austria but Hitler takes extremism to
386
00:20:55,870 --> 00:20:59,440
extremes even in the early 20s he is
387
00:20:59,440 --> 00:21:02,020
explicitly writing about his desire to
388
00:21:02,020 --> 00:21:05,660
wipe the Jews off the face of the earth
389
00:21:05,660 --> 00:21:08,760
he talks about Jews being held under
390
00:21:08,760 --> 00:21:11,310
poison gas so this is a very very
391
00:21:11,310 --> 00:21:13,830
chilling precursor of the actuality
392
00:21:13,830 --> 00:21:16,530
which came to pass 20 years later with
393
00:21:16,530 --> 00:21:21,300
the actual Holocaust Hitler argues that
394
00:21:21,300 --> 00:21:24,450
the Aryans racial superiority should
395
00:21:24,450 --> 00:21:28,830
drive his foreign policy first they
396
00:21:28,830 --> 00:21:30,210
should be allowed to take back all
397
00:21:30,210 --> 00:21:32,520
territory that was taken from Germany at
398
00:21:32,520 --> 00:21:35,580
the end of World War 1 and rebuild the
399
00:21:35,580 --> 00:21:37,740
army to become the most powerful in
400
00:21:37,740 --> 00:21:42,840
Europe then he goes further one of the
401
00:21:42,840 --> 00:21:45,510
most sinister ideas advanced in mine
402
00:21:45,510 --> 00:21:46,050
Kumpf
403
00:21:46,050 --> 00:21:48,270
was the idea of Lebensraum the German
404
00:21:48,270 --> 00:21:51,420
word for living space in Hitler's view
405
00:21:51,420 --> 00:21:53,460
the Germans have a right to seize land
406
00:21:53,460 --> 00:21:56,640
from the richly weaker peoples this
407
00:21:56,640 --> 00:21:59,700
means the Slavs in particular the
408
00:21:59,700 --> 00:22:02,790
Russians where was space to be found in
409
00:22:02,790 --> 00:22:05,190
the east the million square miles
410
00:22:05,190 --> 00:22:07,440
stretching across into Russia
411
00:22:07,440 --> 00:22:11,120
that's where Germany must expand
412
00:22:16,560 --> 00:22:19,290
by the time Hitler leaves prison he adds
413
00:22:19,290 --> 00:22:22,080
one other extraordinary idea to his set
414
00:22:22,080 --> 00:22:24,840
of beliefs he is not just an exceptional
415
00:22:24,840 --> 00:22:31,290
person he has become the Messiah at a
416
00:22:31,290 --> 00:22:34,920
celebration in 1926 he announces to his
417
00:22:34,920 --> 00:22:36,630
friends that he will complete the work
418
00:22:36,630 --> 00:22:39,120
that Christ had begun but had been
419
00:22:39,120 --> 00:22:42,440
unable to finish
420
00:22:42,750 --> 00:22:45,300
he even claims that he is visited by an
421
00:22:45,300 --> 00:22:47,970
almighty power who tells him that he has
422
00:22:47,970 --> 00:22:50,310
been chosen as Germany's Savior
423
00:22:50,310 --> 00:22:53,820
one day this belief will be shared by
424
00:22:53,820 --> 00:22:57,690
others there are churchmen right through
425
00:22:57,690 --> 00:23:00,600
to the collapse of Germany in 4445 who
426
00:23:00,600 --> 00:23:01,230
said that
427
00:23:01,230 --> 00:23:03,740
Hitler was the nearest thing to the
428
00:23:03,740 --> 00:23:06,030
redevelopment of the Christian principle
429
00:23:06,030 --> 00:23:09,200
in in action
430
00:23:12,060 --> 00:23:15,110
the idea that he is the chosen one now
431
00:23:15,110 --> 00:23:17,730
permeates Hitler's political campaigning
432
00:23:17,730 --> 00:23:20,430
as he attempts to take the Nazis from a
433
00:23:20,430 --> 00:23:23,730
party of violence to one that can win an
434
00:23:23,730 --> 00:23:27,870
election plane carrying him would circle
435
00:23:27,870 --> 00:23:29,760
over the stadium which he would speak
436
00:23:29,760 --> 00:23:31,200
and then he would come down like a
437
00:23:31,200 --> 00:23:33,120
messiah to send him from that the
438
00:23:33,120 --> 00:23:37,020
heavens he would then wait until the
439
00:23:37,020 --> 00:23:39,180
crowd was so silent that you could hear
440
00:23:39,180 --> 00:23:41,510
a pin drop
441
00:23:49,160 --> 00:23:51,900
before he launched gradually into
442
00:23:51,900 --> 00:23:54,480
iteration gradually building up to an
443
00:23:54,480 --> 00:24:03,780
enormous climax and this was enormous ly
444
00:24:03,780 --> 00:24:05,760
effective in winning the support of the
445
00:24:05,760 --> 00:24:11,930
masses slowly it starts to work
446
00:24:11,930 --> 00:24:13,850
the Nazis become one of the biggest
447
00:24:13,850 --> 00:24:21,980
political parties in power then in 1929
448
00:24:21,980 --> 00:24:24,560
comes the event that will catapult
449
00:24:24,560 --> 00:24:28,520
Hitler into power The Wall Street Crash
450
00:24:28,520 --> 00:24:33,140
and the Great Depression Germany has hit
451
00:24:33,140 --> 00:24:35,210
worse than any other country when
452
00:24:35,210 --> 00:24:37,400
American banks withdraw their loans
453
00:24:37,400 --> 00:24:40,220
within a couple of years six million
454
00:24:40,220 --> 00:24:42,830
Germans were out of work and really on
455
00:24:42,830 --> 00:24:46,190
the bread line people start longing for
456
00:24:46,190 --> 00:24:48,620
a strong leader to see them out of this
457
00:24:48,620 --> 00:24:52,120
crisis so the Nazis surge in the polls
458
00:24:52,120 --> 00:24:56,180
in 1933 the Nazis become the largest
459
00:24:56,180 --> 00:24:58,730
party in Parliament leading to the once
460
00:24:58,730 --> 00:25:01,160
imprisoned political agitator Adolf
461
00:25:01,160 --> 00:25:03,470
Hitler being offered the role of
462
00:25:03,470 --> 00:25:07,700
Chancellor of Germany for a man with a
463
00:25:07,700 --> 00:25:10,580
god complex it's a position he uses to
464
00:25:10,580 --> 00:25:14,720
decide who will live and who will die
465
00:25:14,720 --> 00:25:16,420
[Applause]
466
00:25:16,420 --> 00:25:22,240
[Music]
467
00:25:22,300 --> 00:25:26,440
he got here by Democratic means but now
468
00:25:26,440 --> 00:25:28,450
that democracy has served its purpose
469
00:25:28,450 --> 00:25:32,410
it's time to put an end to it he
470
00:25:32,410 --> 00:25:33,970
persuades Parliament to grant him
471
00:25:33,970 --> 00:25:36,700
emergency powers and suspends the
472
00:25:36,700 --> 00:25:40,420
Constitution the German people have no
473
00:25:40,420 --> 00:25:44,700
idea of what horrors they're in for
474
00:25:49,330 --> 00:25:52,820
first he begins his creation of a German
475
00:25:52,820 --> 00:25:56,960
master race what Hitler wanted was a
476
00:25:56,960 --> 00:25:59,780
racially pure master race and of course
477
00:25:59,780 --> 00:26:02,210
this involves selective breeding it
478
00:26:02,210 --> 00:26:07,340
evolved the fittest in society it was
479
00:26:07,340 --> 00:26:12,490
the tallest the fastest the fittest
480
00:26:12,490 --> 00:26:16,420
in 1933 Hitler issues the law to prevent
481
00:26:16,420 --> 00:26:20,200
hereditarily diseased offspring it's a
482
00:26:20,200 --> 00:26:22,330
racial hygiene program to sterilize
483
00:26:22,330 --> 00:26:25,870
parents and potential parents deemed to
484
00:26:25,870 --> 00:26:30,300
be undesirables from having children
485
00:26:30,600 --> 00:26:33,010
400,000 people are sterilized between
486
00:26:33,010 --> 00:26:36,310
1933 and 1945 and these are ordinary
487
00:26:36,310 --> 00:26:38,500
German citizens because they don't fit
488
00:26:38,500 --> 00:26:41,110
the master race principle
489
00:26:41,110 --> 00:26:44,619
[Music]
490
00:26:46,050 --> 00:26:49,090
he then proclaims the Nazi Party is the
491
00:26:49,090 --> 00:26:51,190
only political party permitted in
492
00:26:51,190 --> 00:26:59,520
Germany and unleashes his stormtroopers
493
00:27:00,090 --> 00:27:02,590
4000 Communist politicians and their
494
00:27:02,590 --> 00:27:05,590
supporters are beaten up imprisoned or
495
00:27:05,590 --> 00:27:08,440
murdered an action that destroys them as
496
00:27:08,440 --> 00:27:11,580
a political force
497
00:27:16,590 --> 00:27:19,690
now Hitler plots to eliminate all other
498
00:27:19,690 --> 00:27:23,290
political enemies even those on his own
499
00:27:23,290 --> 00:27:27,280
side amongst them is the head of his

but Rome is making too many independent

00:27:39,160 --> 00:27:42,310
noises for his Fuhrer the pivotal
505
00:27:42,310 --> 00:27:44,440
moments in the creation of Hitler's
506
00:27:44,440 --> 00:27:46,630
dictatorship is the night of the Long
507
00:27:46,630 --> 00:27:50,560

together they make their way to Rome's

a man as evilly deranged as Hitler it

00:28:53,720 --> 00:28:57,380
was but in reality over the last 24
528
00:28:57,380 --> 00:29:01,790

a code worded phone call sets in motion
532
00:29:17,330 --> 00:29:19,010
what will become one of the most
533
00:29:19,010 --> 00:29:22,160
notorious events in Nazi history

power to decide who lives and who dies
546
00:30:10,680 --> 00:30:13,740
having wiped out all opposition he can
547
00:30:13,740 --> 00:30:15,630
now move on to the next phase of his
548
00:30:15,630 --> 00:30:18,650
revolution that he plotted in mine camp

a network of extermination camps is
744
00:41:15,620 --> 00:41:20,440
built in Poland names like Bell zetz
745
00:41:20,440 --> 00:41:27,200
Saba ball Treblinka maida neck and a
746
00:41:27,200 --> 00:41:27,890
schvitz
747
00:41:27,890 --> 00:41:30,290
represent the culmination of his racial
748
00:41:30,290 --> 00:41:32,490
evil theories
749
00:41:32,490 --> 00:41:34,150
[Music]
750
00:41:34,150 --> 00:41:37,430
Jews from all over Europe a roundup and
751
00:41:37,430 --> 00:41:46,100
taken to these camps on arrival there of
752
00:41:46,100 --> 00:41:47,690
course some would have died but were
753
00:41:47,690 --> 00:41:50,180
perished of hunger and thirst on the
754
00:41:50,180 --> 00:41:52,220
journey the cattle traps will be
755
00:41:52,220 --> 00:41:55,070
unlocked and the Jews would find
756
00:41:55,070 --> 00:41:56,960
themselves tumbling out onto the
757
00:41:56,960 --> 00:41:59,960
platform where they would be met by SS
758
00:41:59,960 --> 00:42:03,650
guards with whips and Holdings famished
759
00:42:03,650 --> 00:42:06,550
dogs on leashes they would be roughly
760
00:42:06,550 --> 00:42:09,770
separated into into groups families
761
00:42:09,770 --> 00:42:11,660
would be brutally torn apart then and
762
00:42:11,660 --> 00:42:14,840
there some pathetic attempts were made
763
00:42:14,840 --> 00:42:16,730
to disguise the horror of what was
764
00:42:16,730 --> 00:42:21,860
happening the gas chambers themselves
765
00:42:21,860 --> 00:42:24,920
were said to be delousing shower units
766
00:42:24,920 --> 00:42:27,110
so the Jews would take off their clothes
767
00:42:27,110 --> 00:42:29,240
and would be driven naked into the gas
768
00:42:29,240 --> 00:42:33,050
chambers the doors of the gas chambers
769
00:42:33,050 --> 00:42:37,130
would then be sealed the gas were turned
770
00:42:37,130 --> 00:42:39,890
on and horror scenes worsened Dante's
771
00:42:39,890 --> 00:42:42,880
Inferno would be enacted
772
00:42:42,880 --> 00:42:45,800
screams the horror of men women and
773
00:42:45,800 --> 00:42:50,260
children piled on top of one another a
774
00:42:50,260 --> 00:42:53,660
truly horrifying almost unimaginable
775
00:42:53,660 --> 00:42:58,790
scene planned organized industrial scale
776
00:42:58,790 --> 00:43:00,890
destruction of the whole people that is
777
00:43:00,890 --> 00:43:04,660
doing that is something i rific to you
778
00:43:04,849 --> 00:43:08,479
I think Hitler is uniquely the most
779
00:43:08,479 --> 00:43:11,089
genocide Lee evil dictator there ever
780
00:43:11,089 --> 00:43:14,329
was and fundamentally he was gonna kill
781
00:43:14,329 --> 00:43:16,789
as many people who were outside of his
782
00:43:16,789 --> 00:43:18,829
master race principle as he possibly
783
00:43:18,829 --> 00:43:23,210
could over the years the killing machine
784
00:43:23,210 --> 00:43:28,130
is refined from arrival to death of the
785
00:43:28,130 --> 00:43:30,859
Jewish prisoners now to less than an
786
00:43:30,859 --> 00:43:34,309
hour these death chambers were easily
787
00:43:34,309 --> 00:43:37,789
capable of killing 12,000 to 15,000
788
00:43:37,789 --> 00:43:43,309
victims every day it culminates in the
789
00:43:43,309 --> 00:43:50,150
hell that is Auschwitz a schvitz beer
790
00:43:50,150 --> 00:43:53,059
canal most famous camp with that of that
791
00:43:53,059 --> 00:43:56,049
period down in southern Poland there are
792
00:43:56,049 --> 00:43:59,660
six death camps set up all within
793
00:43:59,660 --> 00:44:02,749
occupied Poland which are expressly
794
00:44:02,749 --> 00:44:05,930
designed for the mass killing of human
795
00:44:05,930 --> 00:44:13,069
beings it's just purely death they're
796
00:44:13,069 --> 00:44:15,289
not camps in which people work or the
797
00:44:15,289 --> 00:44:18,920
slave labor used these are just pure and
798
00:44:18,920 --> 00:44:26,150
simple death camps murder on such an
799
00:44:26,150 --> 00:44:28,640
industrial scale creates one particular
800
00:44:28,640 --> 00:44:33,800
problem Hitler needs mass participation
801
00:44:33,800 --> 00:44:38,770
it involved office workers train drivers
802
00:44:38,770 --> 00:44:41,540
transportation of people workers who
803
00:44:41,540 --> 00:44:44,780
worked in the camps Nazi bureaucrats who
804
00:44:44,780 --> 00:44:48,080
had wives back in Germany nobody could
805
00:44:48,080 --> 00:44:49,700
be unaware about what was going on in
806
00:44:49,700 --> 00:44:51,080
the Holocaust because of course it
807
00:44:51,080 --> 00:44:56,210
involved everyone to make the Holocaust
808
00:44:56,210 --> 00:44:57,800
socially acceptable
809
00:44:57,800 --> 00:45:00,380
Hitler's solution is to blame the Jews
810
00:45:00,380 --> 00:45:03,590
for their own destruction if the
811
00:45:03,590 --> 00:45:05,990
international Jewish financier should
812
00:45:05,990 --> 00:45:08,360
succeed in plunging the nation's once
813
00:45:08,360 --> 00:45:11,120
more into a world war then the result
814
00:45:11,120 --> 00:45:13,850
will not be the victory of Jewry but the
815
00:45:13,850 --> 00:45:16,100
annihilation of the Jewish race in
816
00:45:16,100 --> 00:45:18,470
Europe in that statement
817
00:45:18,470 --> 00:45:20,870
Hitler attempts to absolve the German
818
00:45:20,870 --> 00:45:23,180
people of any guilt
819
00:45:23,180 --> 00:45:25,850
the Jews are made responsible for their
820
00:45:25,850 --> 00:45:28,000
own misery
821
00:45:28,000 --> 00:45:32,230
by the end of 1944 six million Jews are
822
00:45:32,230 --> 00:45:36,220
murdered on his approval Hitler believes
823
00:45:36,220 --> 00:45:39,100
he's finally achieving his dream but
824
00:45:39,100 --> 00:45:42,910
ultimately he will be proved wrong those
825
00:45:42,910 --> 00:45:46,570
inferior people he soda tests are now
826
00:45:46,570 --> 00:45:48,270
closing in on him
827
00:45:48,270 --> 00:45:52,250
[Music]
828
00:45:54,339 --> 00:45:59,650
in 1945 Germany is being pummeled the
829
00:45:59,650 --> 00:46:02,019
Red Army are pushing towards Berlin and
830
00:46:02,019 --> 00:46:06,969
the fury it's an ultimate irony that the
831
00:46:06,969 --> 00:46:09,279
regime which was destined to last a
832
00:46:09,279 --> 00:46:11,410
thousand years in fact only lasted 12
833
00:46:11,410 --> 00:46:14,880
and was in the end reduced to a
834
00:46:14,880 --> 00:46:17,499
underground bunker beneath the shattered
835
00:46:17,499 --> 00:46:20,109
ruins of Hitler's Chancellery in the
836
00:46:20,109 --> 00:46:24,069
middle of Berlin it's a sort of
837
00:46:24,069 --> 00:46:28,660
grotesque bizarre picture of a demented
838
00:46:28,660 --> 00:46:30,339
dictator in the last days of his life
839
00:46:30,339 --> 00:46:33,839
ruling what was by then a phantom right
840
00:46:33,839 --> 00:46:37,859
in the end he wanted total destruction
841
00:46:37,859 --> 00:46:40,689
his view was in the ruthless struggle
842
00:46:40,689 --> 00:46:43,749
for life Germany had failed him and
843
00:46:43,749 --> 00:46:46,749
therefore Germany deserved to die when
844
00:46:46,749 --> 00:46:51,579
he died for the Nazi Messiah
845
00:46:51,579 --> 00:46:54,869
Adolf Hitler his victories are long gone
846
00:46:54,869 --> 00:46:57,819
leaving him reduced to a doddery old man
847
00:46:57,819 --> 00:47:01,809
high on a cocktail of drugs Hitler is in
848
00:47:01,809 --> 00:47:04,900
this bunker like a cornered rat and at
849
00:47:04,900 --> 00:47:07,689
his last meal with his secretaries he is
850
00:47:07,689 --> 00:47:10,390
talking not about the fate of the German
851
00:47:10,390 --> 00:47:12,910
Reich not about the extermination the
852
00:47:12,910 --> 00:47:15,219
Jews he's actually the subjects of his
853
00:47:15,219 --> 00:47:17,170
conversation is the ideal breeding of
854
00:47:17,170 --> 00:47:19,679
dogs and the fact that in his view
855
00:47:19,679 --> 00:47:23,019
lipstick is manufactured in France from
856
00:47:23,019 --> 00:47:25,029
excrement this straight from the walls
857
00:47:25,029 --> 00:47:28,589
of the Paris sewers
858
00:47:28,640 --> 00:47:32,150
one by one his loyal crew knees abandon
859
00:47:32,150 --> 00:47:35,930
him one of the few people left is his
860
00:47:35,930 --> 00:47:39,620
mistress Eva Braun who he refuses to
861
00:47:39,620 --> 00:47:42,650
marry until the day before they commit
862
00:47:42,650 --> 00:47:45,800
suicide before his remaining advisors
863
00:47:45,800 --> 00:47:48,440
the bride and groom swear they are both
864
00:47:48,440 --> 00:47:52,700
of pure Aryan descent shortly after 3:00
865
00:47:52,700 --> 00:47:56,410
p.m. on the last day of April 1945
866
00:47:56,410 --> 00:47:59,570
Hitler and his wife Eva withdraw to his
867
00:47:59,570 --> 00:48:02,980
private apartment in the bunker
868
00:48:02,980 --> 00:48:08,260
he hands her a cyanide capsule the
869
00:48:08,260 --> 00:48:11,320
decision is made they will end their
870
00:48:11,320 --> 00:48:16,619
lives together Eva takes the poison and
871
00:48:16,619 --> 00:48:19,960
Hitler shoots himself with his Walther
872
00:48:19,960 --> 00:48:22,530
PPK
873
00:48:28,210 --> 00:48:30,710
so ends the life of the most evil
874
00:48:30,710 --> 00:48:36,470
dictator the world has ever seen just
875
00:48:36,470 --> 00:48:40,539
over a week later on May the 8th 1945
876
00:48:40,539 --> 00:48:45,680
Germany surrenders Hitler's war is the
877
00:48:45,680 --> 00:48:49,339
bloodiest in the history of the world
878
00:48:49,339 --> 00:48:51,259
and with the discovery of his death
879
00:48:51,259 --> 00:48:54,469
camps everyone learns the true evil of
880
00:48:54,469 --> 00:48:57,430
his regime
881
00:48:57,760 --> 00:49:00,040
Hitler was something uniquely different
882
00:49:00,040 --> 00:49:02,440
in history he was a man who brought
883
00:49:02,440 --> 00:49:05,710
ethnic cleansing and murder into the
884
00:49:05,710 --> 00:49:10,570
policy of a war the greatest testimony
885
00:49:10,570 --> 00:49:13,840
of how very wrong he was is modern
886
00:49:13,840 --> 00:49:19,080
Germany today it is stable democratic
887
00:49:19,080 --> 00:49:22,570
multicultural and tolerant everything
888
00:49:22,570 --> 00:49:26,580
that Hitler would have hated
