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 were whizzing all around

in 373 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

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

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 889 00:49:42,190 --> 00:00:00,000 you 97073
