Goebbels and the Fuhrer (2024)

[bunniefuu]

From the beginning.

Please.

"The Fhrer welcomes at its headquarters

Youth Leader Axmann

with a delegation of 20 Hitler Youths,

who have excelled

in their defense of the homeland

and have been awarded with the Iron Cross.

With these 20 boys, the German youth

symbolically appeared before the Fhrer.

These loyal helpers of our soldiers

and the Volkssturm stand,

brave and fearless, in highest commitment.

-The boys tell about their--"

-Stop!

Naumann, the Fhrer doesn't tremble.

The people will never see this footage.

We only have this.

The Fhrer is a shadow of his former self.

-Terrible, but true.

-I decide what's true.

And what's true

is what's good for the German people.

Do you finally get it?

Then show what the boys report

to the Fhrer.

They couldn't.

He had to withdraw immediately.

Take other footage, Naumann!

Take the boy we gave the Iron Cross to.

- The Fhrer doesn't look well.

- Catastrophic.

Nothing left.

Only old ones. And the boys?

They go to their certain death?

What difference does it make?

That's a hero's death.

It's time, Magda.

Get the children.

Helga noticed.

She asks where we will go

if we lose the w*r.

There's no other way.

We have the pictures of the boy.

We can show them to you.

Go ahead.

When Russian got closer to Lauban,

I volunteered myself

to report to Lauban's combat commander.

"If Germany is still alive today,

if Europe, and with it, the Western world,

with its culture and civilization,

has not yet completely sunk

into the vortex of the dark abyss

you have him alone to thank for this.

Because he will be

the man of this century."

I'll tell people this on your birthday.

Very good, Doctor.

The Russians will be here soon.

Everyone is urging me to leave Berlin.

But I'm staying.

If I succeed here, then five minutes

to 12:00, I will bring about the decision.

The enemy coalition will be breaking.

It's just a question of whether

we're already six feet under by then.

A devastating mood.

Criticism against the Party is everywhere,

including the Fhrer.

The Russians will be dealt

a harsh defeat here in Berlin.

If it doesn't end well

and he dies with honor,

then Europe will become Bolshevik.

But he will be a legendary figure

in five years at the latest.

He would be sanctified

by this last great effort.

It's all about the decision now.

Let's face it with pride.

The people want role models.

In 100 years,

a beautiful color film will be shown

about those terrible days

that we are going through here.

Don't you want

to play a part in this film?

Then hang in there!

So that the audience doesn't start booing

when you appear on the screen.

- Hail Hitler!

- Hail Hitler!

My diaries and pictures

will shape the image of our time.

But no one will ever know

how I got the people behind the Fhrer.

I strictly forbid showing techniques

that influence the masses.

This would be disillusionment

of national affairs.

Do you know the name of the English,

or the American propaganda minister,

or even Stalin's?

No.

But Joseph Goebbels?

Everyone knows him.

My wife, my children and I

We will set an example for posterity

of what it means to be faithful

until death and beyond.

I created the Fhrer myth.

With my last big enactment,

we will be a part of it.

Germany has become one again,

one people, inseparably connected.

In this hour, the German people in Austria

have elevated and confessed

their being German.

A rejoicing that the world may yet

The Fhrer enters Vienna

like a triumphant.

Indescribable.

And now the victory is complete.

It's a historic hour, Hanke.

We now need pictures that show

how the Fhrer is welcomed

with huge applause in Vienna.

Yes, Doctor. Whatever it takes.

The flyers have been distributed,

130 million in all.

Our materials were in Vienna on time.

On the special trains with our followers,

we didn't have to help much.

The people are thrilled.

And our people teach the Jews manners.

Brushing the streets with toothbrushes.

Rubbing, they call it.

That's a real Viennese slur.

Himmler reports 20,000 arrests

and 100 deaths.

Serves the Jews right.

But we don't say anything

about it in the news.

We're as truthful as it's useful.

Propaganda is an art like painting.

It's not the image

that comes closest to reality

that has the greatest value.

No, it's the one

that triggers the greatest emotions.

We create the images that will last.

As the Fhrer and Chancellor

of the German nation and Reich,

I hereby declare before German history

the entry of my homeland

into the German Reich.

Sit down!

Gentlemen,

tomorrow the Fhrer will be given

a welcome in the capital of the Reich

that will surpass

anything that has gone before.

The propaganda troops will have to return

to Berlin from Vienna immediately.

We need new festive and banner materials.

Businesses close, schools take a day off,

everyone must take to the streets.

The police will lead the people

to their assigned sections.

We'll make sure

that there are no troublemakers.

Well done, Helldorf!

The SA has also promised 25,000 men,

ensuring order and decorating streets.

We'll work through the night

to make sure everything's ready tomorrow.

My instruction for the press:

"Triumphant entry of the Fhrer

into the capital

of the Great German Reich."

This will be communicated today

via newspapers and loudspeakers.

"People of Berlin,

no one must be absent

from the streets when the Fhrer arrives."

Berliners, close the shops and businesses!

No apartment, no building,

no business without banners and flags.

We want to greet and cheer the Fhrer

in all of our deep gratitude.

We all, of course.

Long live Adolf Hitler!

Long live our people and the Reich!

Look at that!

We've become true masters

of mass domination.

I've arrested possible troublemakers.

And we'll give the Jews a thrashing.

We'll do it all in the follow-up.

And properly.

Let's go. Go, go, go!

I told you to pay attention to my signal.

-I explained it to you in detail.

-Hail Hitler, Doctor.

See, we leave nothing to chance.

Very well. You've learned.

We need some time. But we'll get it done.

Upon arrival,

we let out a threefold "Hail victory!"

And then the anthem.

It has to look spontaneous.

Then we wait and let the people sing,

"We won't go home

until the Fhrer speaks."

We will show a jubilant city

with songs from the heart

of the German people.

You can't play marching music

all the time, even if the party wants so.

We'll demonstrate

that our grandparents' waltz

is not the end of the story,

and everything else is evil.

-Listen, this music is touching my heart.

-Not just right now.

In propaganda, we are allowed

to be generous in an erotic sense.

In return, we strike

against political jokes.

My esteemed artists.

To the Fhrer, the greatest of artists.

To our Fhrer.

We're counting on you.

Dear Paula Wessely.

You will vote in favor

of the annexation of your homeland.

You are all role models, even in private.

A Jewish woman as a wife

is no longer an easy thing to do.

My dear Gottschalk,

great challenges are ahead of us.

-Here's to German art!

-And to our propaganda minister.

-Bravo.

-Thank you all.

A good government cannot exist

without propaganda, and vice versa.

I'm telling you, gentlemen,

we are all propagandists.

In every moment

in which we try to conquer a woman.

We're stupid when we boast

and smart when we flatter.

Like a propagandist, we have an intention,

but it must be so virtuously concealed

that this intention fulfils you

without you realizing it.

Isn't that right, ladies?

You'll have to forgive me.

That's what we're here for.

I'll be driving here

with the Fhrer tomorrow.

All of Berlin is working

according to my plans.

There's nothing

I can do about it, Liduschka.

You trigger the most beautiful feeling

I've ever experienced.

Let's be reasonable, Joseph.

You have a wife and sweet children.

It'll hurt you. It'll hurt me, too.

Don't think Magda

will put up with that, right?

But I can't be reasonable.

A beautiful woman

is like a sailing ship on the vast sea.

All the winds fall on her

and take her somewhere.

And when a storm comes, it ends in a huge,

inescapable hurricane.

Angel

the Fhrer makes us so happy.

I had the children wake up for you.

Helga, Hilde, Helmut,

say good evening to Daddy.

-Good evening, dear Daddy.

-Good evening, dear children.

You are about to witness

a great hour in history.

Your uncle Fhrer's homeland

is back in the Reich.

Tomorrow, you'll attend his event.

- Any news?

- Yes. He's overjoyed.

My call has worked wonders in Berlin.

You heard me in the radio,

the city is unrecognizable.

On his return from Vienna,

the Fhrer was welcomed

by Berliners with never-ending cheers.

AIRPORT TEMPELHOF 2KM

Millions line the road from

Tempelhof Airport to the Reich Chancellery

in order to thank the creator

of Greater Germany for his historic deed.

The Fhrer will go down in history

as the greatest German.

You can hear the enthusiasm everywhere.

Everything is going according to my plan.

Every detail,

every minute is determined by me.

Children, come.

Thank you, thank you.

But you have grown up.

My Fhrer, we thank you.

This is the most moving hour of my life.

My dear Magda, I am pleased.

GERMAN-AUSTRIANS THANK THE FHRER

My sorcerer has worked his magic again.

Are these nightingales?

Now, in April?

With you on a night like this,

how am I supposed to remember

which season it is, or even which month?

I not only had this song composed for you

I want a movie about our love.

I'm sure you've heard a lot about me.

But I swear to you,

I've never loved a woman

as much as I love you.

We can't do that.

What if the Fhrer finds out about us?

He's got his own little secret

at the Berghof.

Frulein Braun is always with him.

But no one is supposed to know.

Tell me more about him.

I admire him.

He has a superhuman inner strength

and a deep faith in his mission.

He is more devout than I am.

He's like a father to me.

But you can't trust his surroundings.

Gentlemen, welcome.

To my right, I would ask

my general field marshal.

The Fhrer speaks very highly

of Gring, an old fighter.

He was wounded in the field

and has been taking morphine ever since.

- Back in splendid uniform today.

- My Fhrer.

He is a pug and likes baroque clothes.

Gentlemen, when everyone

is wearing their stars and medals,

the Fhrer stands out

by simply not doing so.

We actors appreciate Gring

because he supports Grndgens

as artistic director.

-He gives us artists freedom.

-Liduschka.

This entire Grndgens scene

is completely g*y.

-Hm.

-I don't understand Gring.

That makes my fingers tingle.

Opposite me, I would like to call

the Reichsfhrer of the SS.

-My loyal Heinrich.

-My Fhrer.

For me, Himmler is rather eerie with

his secret service and the SS fortress.

He's spreading Germanic nonsense.

And how are your excavations going?

Who are you digging up next?

My research shows

the superiority of the Aryan race.

It's in the best interest

of our movement, Doctor.

I just hope your latest findings

just don't prove

that we were still throwing stone darts

sitting around an open fire,

when Rome was already

at a high level of civilization.

Himmler is a Munich philistine.

Very stubborn.

Just like Rosenberg,

trying to be the Reich's philosopher.

Heinrich Himmler,

our Reichsleiter Rosenberg.

If it were up to him,

I'd have to have men in uniform

marching through my films all the time.

In the end, only Widukind, Henry the Lion

and Rosenberg remain of our history.

Much more dangerous is Ribbentrop.

My foreign minister, to the right.

A typical low-key, would-be aristocrat.

He confuses politics with champagne trade,

where it's always

about ripping someone off.

A megalomaniac loser.

The Fhrer overestimates him.

The others are completely harmless.

Speer is an artist,

like the Fhrer himself.

He commissioned him

with the redesign of Berlin.

Bormann is becoming more

and more of a gray eminence.

- A real n*zi.

- My dear Speer, right here.

And you, my dear Bormann, next to him,

so you can discuss

your building activities right away.

As you know,

Bormann is drilling the Obersalzberg.

Facing him, our national press chief.

Dietrich is a little dwarf.

And a bit of a troublemaker.

Your press release on the annexation

was very witty.

Thank you. My best ideas

come in the bathtub.

Then take more baths,

Dr. Dietrich.

And in the seat next to me,

our Doctor Goebbels.

He knows what he has in me.

He trusts me with his most intimate plans.

The Czech Republic

comes first,

rigorously and at the next opportunity.

Then

the Baltic.

And a piece of Alsace Lorraine.

France shall sink deeper into its crisis.

Those are generous and constructive ideas.

You know, the people in my family

don't live to be old.

That's why I'd rather fight a w*r

when I'm 50 than 60 years old.

What do you mean?

-People are not in favor of w*r.

-We must solve our problems with violence.

Every generation must experience a w*r.

There he is. Where is the mouse?

Where's the mouse?

Where is it? Well, where is it?

Don't film me with your two dogs.

-It looks ridiculous.

-They are much sweeter than your giant.

You didn't hear that, yes, look.

Mrs. Goebbels has arrived.

Yes. Let the lady in and serve the food.

Where's my Stasi? You're so hilarious.

My dear Magda.

Olympus opens when I see you.

You're a charmer.

I look really worn out.

But you look good in that new suit.

-Yes?

-I'm glad you listened to me.

How are you?

- I'm fine.

- How is our young comrade?

I hope you took my advice

and quit smoking.

-I'm doing my best.

-You still smoke?

Because of people like you,

I'm going to have skulls printed

on cigarette packs

or ban smoking.

Smoking is just as harmful

as the animal carcasses you enjoy,

and that I can't talk you out of.

But I have to admit

none of this affects your beauty.

You mustn't forbid all the joie de vivre.

People owe their rescue

to the fact I left these poisons behind.

Or else I would have perished

from all this worry.

Yes, the danger of w*r.

It's all Joseph talks about

when he has time for us.

A man

is a sl*ve to his duty.

Joseph says the people are not ready.

w*r will come

and it will come quickly.

I'm getting old.

I need glasses to read.

And I'm the only one

capable of fighting this w*r.

You know exactly what's best for Germany.

But we have so much to lose.

Only a woman can talk like that.

You know how I think.

I'm the first soldier of the Reich

and I will win

or I won't live to see the end.

The premiere of the Olympia movie

will be a celebration of peace.

Leni Riefenstahl created an excellent film

in the service of our cause.

Thank you.

Mrs. Riefenstahl?

Leni Riefenstahl,

the Fhrer is watching your film today.

-What does that mean for you?

-It's a great honor.

The creator of Great Germany

is its most artistic person

She always knows exactly what to say.

Look, our wonderful artists.

Without us, they'd be nothing.

Here comes Gottschalk.

He is a German Clark Gable

and falls for the sexual sophistication

of this Jewish b*tch.

- Thank you, Mrs. Riefenstahl.

- I'll do something about this.

An epochal work enters the public eye.

The film testifies to the resurrected

power of the new Germany

as a grand framework

for the Olympic Games.

Its spirit and its attitude

illuminates the love of freedom

of the German people and their Fhrer

in the hearts of all people.

Riefenstahl cost a lot of money.

She's a wife, not a man.

But she's a clever thing.

Meters and meters

and Germany's first runner, Emmy Albus,

overtakes the runners from Holland

and Hannah Brandt

puts Germany in the lead.

First change. Pass the baton!

Germany loses the baton!

First America.

Second England.

Third Canada.

Ooh.

How is little Hertha?

Does she have to cry so much

because Daddy has no time?

He has to bring

Sudeten Germans into the Reich.

Hm? Little Hertha.

My angel.

I have a surprise for you.

Everything you see

is ours now.

Our neighbor, the Jew Goldschmidt,

had to give it away at a bargain.

You should have seen the look on his face

when he heard who the buyer was.

I know everything.

You're cheating on me with that Czech.

First all those women,

and now you're making a mockery of me.

Raging against Slavs,

and then you sleep with that Czech wh*re?

You're not betraying me and the people.

What kind of person are you?

It's not what you think, Magda.

Miss Baarov and I, we love each other.

What are you saying?

I won't put up with this.

I'm seeing the Fhrer.

Magda.

I want to make you an offer.

I don't want a divorce.

You're the mother of my children

and the woman by my side.

But after all these years,

I have to have a girlfriend.

I want

to give you this ring

as a token of our agreement.

You'll always be my old lady.

But Lida is part of the family now.

As my second wife.

With the escalating conflict

with the Czech Republic,

people fall into a psychosis.

People are panicking.

- That's because of your propaganda.

- It has served its purpose.

Now everyone knows what a pathetic state

the Czech Republic is

and that Sudetenland is part of the Reich.

We achieve all goals

with agitation and threats.

Chamberlain may give us Sudetenland,

but we have to demand

the entire Czech Republic.

The English and the French

are not ready for w*r.

Ribbentrop is right.

The most radical solution is the best.

Our deployment is complete.

The mobilization will be done in a flash.

I will crush the entire Czech Republic.

I'm just afraid that at the last moment,

some stupid emotional acrobat

will get in the way with a mediation.

-Troops are marching past.

-Hmm.

That's your responsibility.

You should have organized the cheering.

They're not fulfilling their duties.

It's an impudence to the Fhrer.

That's the mood among the people.

There's a fear of w*r.

We probably have the option

to take the Sudetendeutsch

territory peacefully

and continue to arm ourselves.

This is the great victory

that the Fhrer can now achieve.

Adolf Hitler called

Mussolini, Daladier, and Chamberlain

to Munich for a final talk

that would bring freedom

to the Sudeten Germans.

Prime Minister Chamberlain

was thanked by many Munich residents,

who took him to the airfield.

French Prime Minister Daladier

was celebrated on his departure, too.

Everything breathes a sigh of relief.

Peace is on everyone's lips.

The Fhrer has achieved great merit.

Everyone cheers for peace.

Europe celebrates you, my Fhrer.

I don't care.

It doesn't matter if people hate me.

If only they fear me,

we could have crushed

the whole Czech Republic.

I'm furious.

We got the Sudetenland without w*r.

We could have had much more.

London and Paris

would never have intervened.

And now our people are cheering

to Chamberlain and Daladier for peace.

Those weaklings!

My resolve is unwavering.

I will destroy the Czech people.

I want this dead, amorphous state gone,

and then I'm going to storm Poland.

Next time, I'll act so fast the old hags

won't be able to talk me down.

- I won't tolerate such a mess.

- Are the people behind us?

The common people never want w*r,

but it's easy to get them to join in.

Tell them they're under attack.

-This method works everywhere.

-That's what we do.

But we've been talking

about peace for years.

Not that easy to change the tone.

It's your duty to make sure

the people follow their Fhrer,

even into w*r.

Instead of stirring up

the people's w*r spirit,

our propaganda minister

chases after women.

I've always been distant

with the type of Goebbels,

- but I held back--

- I know.

He's ruthless with his women.

But he's a good propagandist.

He will get the people ready for w*r.

If he can find the time

with all his busywork.

We'll lose our credibility because of him.

We used to disdain Jewish directors

for their sexuality.

Dr. Goebbels does the same.

Everyone speaks ill of him,

from Gauleiter to washerwoman.

Our revolution has an abscess

that attacks the healthy blood.

Sexual compulsion of a superior

towards female employees means prison.

The doctor has committed

dozens of such offenses.

Here are the statements of the women.

He is a heavy moral burden

for National Socialism.

Nightingales?

Now, in April? Your Royal Highness

With you here on a night like this,

how can I remember

the season or even the month?

Your Royal Highness

Promise me?

- My

- Me too, a Prince.

Should I say "Princess"?

What do you want?

He has promised Baarov a marriage.

I have two letters here.

She writes,

"Is it still okay if I wait for you?"

And he replies, "Yes,"

underlined three times with his green pen.

You're taking advantage of women.

Let the ambassador wait

until you finish your escapades.

You're allowing that the people

are not ready for w*r.

Magda came to see me. She was crying.

You're cheating on your wife

with a Czech woman, of all people.

Magda was exaggerating.

She is on the edge

due to all the childbirths.

Helldorf can attest to that.

Let him in.

Hail Hitler!

What do you say, Helldorf?

My Fhrer,

the minister is the victim

of a rival scheme.

Don't bother.

I can't afford a scandal anyway.

After the Minister of w*r married a wh*re

and the Commander-in-Chief is a g*y man.

-You handled that brilliantly--

-Stop, Helldorf!

The Goebbels

are the Reich's poster family.

You know perfectly well the effect

a divorce would have on the people,

especially now.

This thing with the little Czech

-it's nothing that can't be solved.

-My Fhrer, I love Miss Baarov.

-I'm going to marry her.

-Christ, sacrament! I'm planning a w*r!

And my propaganda minister is in love.

I know I can no longer

be minister under these circumstances,

I ask you to relieve me of my duties.

Be reasonable.

I would feel betrayed.

You know what happens to traitors.

Our people are facing

their biggest confrontation.

We will create an empire

the world has never seen.

You could attain eternal glory

as a prophet of the Fhrer.

Give me your word of honor,

you won't see her again.

I will always be loyal to you

but this is a private matter.

When you make history,

you can't have private matters.

Show the people you're a happy family

and give me your word of honor.

-My Fhrer--

-I need you for my mission.

Your word of honor.

Krause.

Call Magda.

Dear Magda

I'm pleased to inform you

that your husband has agreed.

Miss Baarov will never make another film,

and he will never see her again.

And I insist on a divorce.

- I can't grant that wish.

- This is a court that decides.

Above the court is the Fhrer.

A divorce could trigger

a government crisis.

You'll stay married.

We'll arrange a grace period.

After that, we'll see.

I've already prepared the contract.

What are we, individuals,

compared to the fate of the people?

And the children?

When you have

beautiful children like yours,

you can't be separated.

The best part is that,

during the grace period,

you will live completely ascetically.

You, Doctor, like a monk.

And you, Magda, live like a nun.

I've been doing this for a long time.

I suggest we take a photo.

My conversation with the Fhrer

shakes me to the core.

Life is so hard and so cruel.

I have a very sad phone call to make.

Can only sleep with strong medicine.

And now my new life begins

- This wh*re has nothing to do here.

- a hard, cruel, duty-bound life.

Get out!

- The youth is now at an end.

- Get out, you wh*re!

Get out, you wh*re!

It's the worst time of my life.

I've sunk to the bottom,

and my opponents are on top.

On my birthday,

the Fhrer sent me

nothing but a frosty telegram.

No dog wants to live like this.

Perhaps you'll be happy to hear

that the anger

against the Jews is growing.

They're blaming them

for the antiwar sentiment.

At least some good news.

We have to launch

a full-scale rampage now.

That would heat up the mood

and please the Fhrer.

And then the propaganda

could be converted to w*r.

In Paris, a 17-year-old Jew

shot diplomat Ernst vom Rath.

Why didn't you say so straight away?

Let's talk straight now!

I'll report this to the press right away.

This assassination must have

the worst consequences for the Jews.

I'm very glad

you have come to your senses.

No one must know that I am in favor

of today's action in exactly this way.

The Jews need

to feel the wrath of the people.

We already organized demonstrations.

The messenger will bring

news of Rath's death.

Then we'll start.

My Fhrer

We've just received the sad news

that our legation council

Ernst vom Rath is dead.

Shot by a Jew.

This cowardly m*rder

will cost the Jews dearly!

In the future, they will think twice

before simply sh**ting down

German diplomats.

The party will not appear externally

as the author of this.

Among us are members

of the shock squad "Adolf Hitler."

They went ahead

during the fighting period.

They know what to do.

The hour has struck for the Jews!

- Hail SS-Men!

- Hail Hitler!

Doctor is out of his mind.

I would have preferred

he had just 200 Jews beaten to death,

rather than destroy such values.

Who pays for this?

Let the Jews pay

for the damage themselves.

The insurers pay nothing.

We'll disown Jewish businesses.

Make the preparations.

I will impose a penalty on the Jews

of one billion reichsmarks

for their heinous crimes.

Those b*stards won't dare to k*ll again.

I don't want to be a Jew in Germany.

That's right. Thank you.

I suggest we stop

this before it gets out of hand.

We won't say anything about it

in the news. In the press, very little.

Good thing it is firmly in our hands.

I will now inform the representatives

that we are going to sound pacifist.

Hail Hitler!

Circumstances

forced me

for decades to talk about peace.

It was the only way I could, step by step,

achieve freedom for the German people.

Such peace propaganda

also has its questionable side.

As the perception had been established,

we wanted to preserve peace at all costs.

But this misconception

must now be rectified.

So I have begun to make it

clear to the German people

that there are things

that must be enforced by violence.

This line of propaganda

must be continued and reinforced.

"To the mother of the nation,

the image of the German woman.

Immersed in devotion I stand.

In your blue eyes, your rich soul I see."

Yes?

The doctor is here.

It's been agreed

I must give a visitation permit.

I know everything.

Helldorf told me.

Hanke, of all people, is the most

treacherous traitor I've ever been around.

It's sad to have your faith

in humanity taken away.

He treats me good, unlike you.

I'm the one who got you

out of your Jewish clique.

You were with the top Zionist,

and I swept it all under the rug.

And you got your doctorate from the Jew,

joined the Socialists,

and applied as a correspondent

in American newspapers.

You're the most depraved opportunist.

Here's an order from the Fhrer.

Hanke is to be transferred

to the Wehrmacht.

Here's a list of people

who can't enter the house anymore.

Also an order from the Fhrer.

Your beloved stepfather,

the Jew Friedlnder,

made his living as a waiter.

He was taken to Buchenwald and died.

He was always kind to me.

Haven't seen him since the rise to power.

I'm on the Fhrer's side.

Magda, please, come to your senses.

We have no choice but to get along.

The propaganda will incite against Poland.

If no miracle happens,

we'll soon be at w*r.

The Fhrer needs us.

I know. We promised the Fhrer.

It's our duty.

Gentlemen, I've asked you here

in civilian clothing

to protect the absolute

secrecy of this meeting.

It was clear that sooner or later,

it would have to come

to a military conflict with Poland.

Our economic situation is such

that we will last for a few more years.

We have to act.

Our opponents are little worms.

The West has placed

its hopes on the enmity

between Russia and Germany.

But now, my foreign minister

is going to Moscow.

Gentlemen, I will sign

a non-aggression pact

with the Soviet Union.

Then Poland will be where I want it to be.

I have given the order that the objective

of w*r is not to reach certain lines,

but to physically destroy the enemy.

I will have anyone tortured

who speaks one word of criticism.

I have prepared my Totenkopf units

to mercilessly send any man,

woman, and child of Polish descent

to their deaths.

It's the only way to gain the habitat

that we need.

My Fhrer, what a brilliant move.

You surprised even me.

The non-aggression pact with Stalin

will be a world sensation.

Thank you, Doctor.

I will divide Eastern Europe with Stalin.

About time Ribbentrop called.

-Have a seat.

-Thank you.

I've instructed the press

that the issue of Bolshevism

is not so important now.

We get them attuned to the pact.

For years we have gone all out

in the anti-Bolshevik propaganda.

Now we're in trouble

and are eating flies like the devil.

-Keep the people.

-I will.

But the question is,

how will the West react?

I don't think London

wants a w*r right now.

Paris is chickening out.

I've always played

across the board in life.

The Foreign Minister, from Moscow.

Yes.

"Non-aggression pact for ten years,"

he says.

In these hours, we are writing history.

Since 5.45 a.m.,

we have been firing back.

And from now on,

we will retaliate with a b*mb for a b*mb.

Gentlemen, sit down!

We are at w*r.

News policy in w*r.

That is a means of w*r.

It is being used to wage w*r,

not to give out information.

Eavesdropping on enemy stations

will be punished.

Passing on enemy information

is punishable by death.

The death sentences

will be announced in the press.

We put on an infernal concert,

always plotting, always agitating.

Good.

What is there to report?

Polish propaganda claims

that we've carried out liquidations.

Poland has established

a proper factory of lies.

That won't do them any good.

There have been attacks

on Germans as well.

There were even deaths in Bromberg.

That's good.

Build that up.

Increase the number of victims tenfold

and repeat it over and over again.

The simpler and more primitive,

the more effective.

Invent catchphrases.

"Blood Sunday of Bromberg."

That's got a ring to it.

This is where the murderers

are brought out of their hiding places.

They committed savage acts

of bloodshed against defenseless Germans

in the Blood Night of Bromberg.

They will be met

with martial law immediately.

We hammer it as long as it takes

until everyone knows

that Poles commit atrocities.

It's only when the intelligence says,

"We can't hear it anymore"

that the lumberjack

in Bad Aibling notices and says,

"Oh? I've never heard anything like that."

It's like the Catholic church,

no one would say to the priest,

"Father, you preached the same thing

just last Sunday."

No. Day in, day out,

year after year, the same thing.

No priest would think

of starting liturgy from the back,

just to offer something new.

To The Fhrer.

My foreign minister, to my right.

The doctor across from me.

Please be seated.

I've issued amnesty for all those

who broke the law out of desperation

over the horrors committed by Poland.

Poles are more animals than people.

That's why our units

are taking radically liquidating

the Polish leadership and the Jews.

Our propaganda about Polish atrocities

has laid the groundwork for this.

If your propaganda is

as good as you say it is,

the question must be allowed

why, despite the great victory

over Poland,

is there still no real enthusiasm for w*r?

People cheer for victory,

but they fear the w*r's expansion.

All the more reason

for the propaganda to reach the people.

But what does the doctor say?

Entertainment is important, too.

Propaganda must be close to the people,

doctrines do not help at all.

Or do you honestly believe

that after the battle,

soldiers go for your

20th-century myth?

But we can't go on like this.

The newsreel runs

in 3000 theaters per week,

but in a mindless manner.

Because there's no propagandist at work.

We only get boring material.

That's because of the military drill.

It inhibits any form of creativity.

I mean, we have great artists

in German filmmaking.

Not everyone can withstand

the pressure of w*r.

You mean Leni Riefenstahl?

She was there when Jews were shot.

It took a toll on her.

But, of course,

she remains our poster child

as the most famous director in the world.

She was at my victory parade in Warsaw,

and now she's making new films.

Doctor, great things are happening

for the mobilization of the people,

but the German film does not take notice.

That's your responsibility.

-But we do have good national films.

-Patriotic in general!

But not national socialist ones!

Our film hasn't dared to touch

the Bolshevik Jewish people yet.

The Fhrer is harsh in his criticism.

I don't think it's entirely justified,

but he has every right to do so,

because he's a genius.

Take 29/10.

And then you say, "Happy birthday, Daddy."

Happy birthday, Daddy.

What's Rhmann doing with the kids?

It's a surprise

that my sweetie can't know about.

Okay.

My wonderful children.

If the Jews win the w*r,

there will be no future for them.

We won't let it go that far, will we?

Sit down, please.

Hippler

is going to make

a documentary about Judaism.

And you, Harlan, will turn the whole thing

into a motion picture with your Jud S.

Let's penetrate the hearts of millions

with love, eroticism, suspense.

How do you like the script?

It's unappetizing.

I must decline it for artistic reasons.

Just write a new one.

Hire the best actors.

Your wife must be in it, too.

- My wife is pregnant.

- I pay the nurse.

We all do our duty.

I have five children,

and when the w*r started,

I trained to be a Red Cross nurse.

My son Harald

from my first marriage is a Quandt.

He's volunteered to join the paratroopers.

I have already asked actors.

They're hesitant.

My husband will give instructions

not to use the word

"anti-Semitic" in reviews.

And he'll announce that the actors

in the Jewish roles are not Jewish.

- Don't worry.

- That's not their point.

They're worried

about ruining their careers

in Hollywood with the Jewish films.

Harlan,

-I've always promoted you.

-Yes.

We're giving our artists

liberties that we don't take.

You were allowed

to marry a young Swedish girl.

It's always nice to become famous

with National Socialism

and to be paid a lot of money.

But if National Socialism wants something

from its artists, they all say no.

Gottschalk, for example

simply refuses to divorce his Jew wife.

You can't do that.

You have to understand.

National Socialism is

at w*r with its enemies.

You and I are both soldiers.

We know very well

what happens to a soldier

who dares to disobey an order.

Who may I welcome

to the Reich Chancellery today?

-It's a pleasure.

-Hail Hitler, Frulein Braun.

It's a pleasure to see you.

I'm so excited.

The Fhrer wants me here for his big day.

He's so proud that we defeated France.

It wasn't easy to get me in here secretly.

You're competing

with our newsreel.

Today, you can film anything you want.

The enthusiasm is genuine.

Bright faces everywhere.

Huge quantities of fresh flowers

have to be strewn

on the streets at short notice.

All of Berlin's gardeners are committed.

In the front rows, I've placed

only young, slim, good-looking people,

from the HJ and the BDM.

Oh! Just this minute, the Fhrer arrives.

Oh! I can't miss this.

Today, Frulein Braun looks

terribly insignificant, again.

Please, Magda. The Fhrer will be

here soon and go up to the balcony.

Eva! Magda!

I'm so happy that you are here

in my happiest hour.

Everyone's cheering for you.

Very good. And now the anti-Semitic films.

Here we see the Jews moving into a city.

Harlan has made an anti-Semitic film

as we could only wish for.

Hundreds of Jews move into the city.

-The population is in turmoil.

-Like locusts, they are over our land

At the Venice Film Festival,

Jud S was a sensational success.

The press is thrilled.

Here.

The Italian film critic

Michelangelo Antonioni writes,

"If this is propaganda,

we welcome propaganda."

Hidden in the movie,

our message is even more effective.

Very good.

But now show me The Eternal Jew.

You know how important

this movie is to me.

Good.

Hippler! Play your movie.

Yes, Reichsminister.

The Eternal Jew?

And action.

"Where rats appear,

they bring destruction into the country.

They are cunning, cowardly,

and usually appear in great numbers.

Not unlike the Jews among men."

Here we have Eastern Jews

cross-faded into assimilated Jews.

Some of them, we had to sort out,

because they didn't look Jewish enough.

"These physiognomies

disprove the liberalist theory

of equality in all man.

Beard, cap and caftan

mark the East Jew for all.

When he takes them off,

only sharp-eyed people

can recognize his racial heritage."

Slaughtering?

Where are the animal slaughters?

It's important.

Those poor animals need protection.

-Obviously.

-My Fhrer. Again, we had to help.

We allowed the traditional Jewish

slaughtering for the filming,

and depicted the Jews

in all their depravity.

I'd like to put a text in front of it,

that recommends more sensitive people

not to watch the sequence.

Let's see the pictures.

I've written a text about it.

Thank you, my Fhrer.

SENSITIVE PERSONS ARE ADVISED

TO NOT LOOK AT THE FOLLOWING

"Jewish law books

have no sense of considerations

that stem from the Germanic respect

and love for animals.

These images reveal the character

of a race that hides its blunt rawness--"

under the cloak of devout religion.

The Fhrer has come to visit.

He congratulates on the little Heide.

What a nice surprise.

Welcome, Doctor.

You're a lucky man.

She is the spitting image of her mother.

A real child of reconciliation.

Your visit to little Heide

is an honor, my Fhrer.

So.

Come, Doctor,

I have something important to tell you.

I've decided to attack Russia.

But if we do,

we'll be caught in a two-front w*r.

We always tried to avoid that.

But it has to be.

Stalin wants to stay out of it

until Europe is bled dry,

and then bolshevize the continent.

A w*r with him is inevitable.

Then we'll have our backs against England.

Habitat in the East

and extermination of the Jews,

that was always my goal.

It will be an incredible feat of strength

for our propaganda.

Yes.

I understand.

But a pact with Stalin

has always been a break with my views.

Now I'm free of this anguish of my soul.

We've always fought the red pigs.

Now we'll destroy them.

We'll prepare an attack in secret.

The people must not find out.

We will tell the soldiers

they are maneuvers.

Only at the moment of the attack,

you will read my proclamation

on the radio.

Bolshevism will collapse.

The operation takes no longer than

four months.

I've already come up with an idea

for a fanfare

about our victories.

Liszt's "Les Prludes."

Add a few more bars

of Horst Wessel's song.

Comrades, Red Front and Reaction

shot in revenge

for our comrades

who were m*rder*d by Communists.

The Reich's Ministry

of Public Information and Propaganda.

Reichsminister Dr. Goebbels

reads the Fhrer's proclamation.

It reveals for the first time

in front of the whole world

the conspiracy of London and Moscow

against Germany.

"German people,

at this very moment,

a formation takes place"

The new fanfare is heard.

I will read the Fhrer's proclamation

on all channels to the German people.

What a great and wonderful time

for an empire to be born.

I feel so free.

Then I go to Schwanenwerder.

The sun is already

big and beautiful in the sky.

The birds are chirping

in the garden outside.

I fall into bed and sleep for two hours,

a deep and healthy sleep.

Hail Hitler, Doctor!

- Bormann!

- Welcome to the Wolfsschanze.

-Thank you, Bormann!

-The Fhrer awaits you.

Good to be seeing him.

He complained

that we chose the most swampy area.

He wants the Air Force

to go mosquito hunting.

- He's in a good mood.

- Very good.

The w*r in the East is as good as won.

There will be nothing left of Bolshevism.

Great, my Fhrer.

However, you caused

quite a shock with this attack.

Your own people were as surprised

as the Russian himself.

Such a 180-degree turn is only possible

due to our tight grip on the press.

And even the smallest bit

of freedom of the press

is the deadliest threat to the state.

In a democracy,

the people elect the head of state,

and advertising can bring

any buffoon to power.

With us, one man decides. The Fhrer.

Present it like this,

"We beat Stalin to it at the last second."

I will wipe out cities

like Moscow and Saint Petersburg.

I think we should not be

too optimistic at the beginning.

A setback could change the mood.

Don't worry. The enemy is in disarray

and will be destroyed.

Turn on the great

anti-bolshevism campaign,

"The Slavic race is inferior."

Only by force, Stalin succeeded

in forming a state

out of this Slavic rabbit race.

The Jews helped him do it.

We must destroy them.

Therefore, bring back

the anti-Semitic campaign again.

I have prepared everything.

Press, radio and film.

The Eternal Jew is

for the hard-boiled party members,

and Jud S cuts through the heart

of the masses and activates their hate.

Himmler has him

presented to the entire SS,

especially before executions.

Drowned. That Jew k*lled her.

Beat them to death!

-The Jew has to go.

-That Jew has got to go.

- They can hang!

- Yes!

I am innocent.

I'm just a poor fool.

Let me have my life. I want to live.

Life is what I want--

Eradicating this plague

is to perform a historic deed

for the whole of humanity.

I'm colossally humane.

It was important for me to see for myself.

Being in charge of life and death,

you need to know what dying looks like.

I'm proud of my men for mastering this,

that they fire hundreds of times,

and reload and reshoot,

even if the Jews scream terribly

and beg for mercy.

The Jews must strip down,

climb into the trenches, onto the corpses,

and lie on top of their predecessors.

"The sardine method" is what we call it.

Children in their mothers' arms

saves ammunition.

-They'll be crushed by the corpses.

-Mm-hmm.

We fire until the g*ns run hot.

Only then, we change.

Blood and brain matter

get sprayed on my men's clothes.

Some get sick.

They no longer hit properly.

Once in a while, one of them climbs up

the pile of bodies

-sh**ting people's heads until they pop.

-Mm.

Shooters can drink

all the liquor they want.

The loudspeaker truck is blasting music.

It's heroic what my men are doing.

You have to do it quickly.

It's like a rotten tooth.

The pain is only over once it is out.

I have always predicted

that once I am in power,

the extermination of the Jews

is my most important task.

I have the Jews brought to the East,

and I order all Jews to be exterminated.

This is an honorable yet difficult task.

We sh**t thousands every day.

By the end of the year,

we can barely make half a million.

We are looking for new ways.

We used gas in the mental asylums.

This could be the future.

Do whatever it takes.

Even innocent creatures of nature

like deer and rabbits sometimes

have to be k*lled to prevent damage.

The Jews are a criminal race.

Liable for two million deaths

in the Great w*r.

Now hundreds of thousands again.

Nobody tell me I can't do that.

For months, we were unable

to give you the military details.

Now, I can let the cat out of the bag.

In the face of the recent successes,

there is no doubt

that the entire Soviet front

has been destroyed.

This means that the British dream

of a two-front w*r is over.

The Soviet Union is militarily defeated

with this last mighty blow.

The enemy in the East

is defeated and destroyed.

Hail Hitler, Doctor.

Dietrich is an imbecile

without sense and reason.

It's the biggest propaganda mistake

of the w*r.

Tough battles are being fought

on the front,

it's clear what the soldiers think

of such gossip.

We're stuck in the mud, Doctor.

Literally stuck in the mud.

Yes.

People have already noticed

that there are setbacks.

All the more devastating

is Dietrich's statement.

Propaganda must always

be related to reality.

The mood has plummeted.

The w*r will last longer than planned,

put it that way.

Global Judaism is waging w*r against us.

The w*r is getting harder.

And it's the Jews' fault.

It's a struggle to be or not to be.

Yes.

I'll share this

with the international press.

It will look like our enemies

are going to w*r for the Jews, then.

This will create discord.

And then I will share it

with the German people.

We will also introduce a Jewish badge.

You have no place here!

If someone wears the Jewish star

One of the Jews.

he is labelled an enemy of the people.

Zack! And you too!

Anyone who socializes

with him is one of him

and must be treated as a Jew.

It is a shame.

Dear Daddy, you're back.

Now you can see us again.

And you've already guessed.

We're here to congratulate you.

We got all dressed up all the way,

because it's your birthday today.

My dear children,

you have made me very happy.

Such a beautiful film. Thank you so much.

Thank you, really.

Gottschalk k*lled himself.

With his wife and child.

Those b*stards.

k*lling children!

What a bunch of scum.

-The people must not be informed.

-They get wind of a lot of things.

There will be film people

at the funeral, too.

The Jewish star also arouses pity.

-It makes the transports stand out more.

-The German educated class is sh*t.

Suddenly, they are rediscovering

their sense of humanity for the Jews.

You can't exorcise their mediocrity.

All the Jews have to do

is send an old lady

with a Jewish star across Kurfrstendamm

and the average German forgets

what the Jews did to us.

I get help requests all the time.

An old friend from school

asked for help her with her daughter.

They're Jewish.

And? What did you reply?

She didn't use her first name Sarah.

I reported her.

Pictures like these from the Warsaw ghetto

must never be seen by the public.

We ask a lot of the people,

and that's why we give them

more entertainment in radio and film.

Good mood is essential for w*r.

That's why we're going to increase

the percentage

of entertainment films to 80%.

But in the newsreel,

that's where it gets down to business.

For this, we need

spectacular combat footage.

That's why we're also going

to step up my propaganda units.

In the past, reporters used

to sit behind the fighting troops.

But my reporter, he is a soldier!

He delivers footage

straight from the front.

We need creativity.

Hippler, present the examples.

Gladly, Mr. Propaganda Minister.

Roll the film!

You're looking at burning oil towers.

But in reality,

these towers are just models.

Gentlemen, it's so hot

on the front line in Africa

that you can even fry

a sunny-side-up egg on a tank.

And here you can see that

you have to adjust things occasionally.

This is tanks crossing a river.

Well, and this is

how the shots were done.

Very good.

Make use of all the options.

Especially now,

with our soldiers fighting in Stalingrad.

Think about Christmas.

That warms up people's hearts.

That's when we will connect

the soldiers from all fronts

with the homeland in a ring broadcast.

- With their wives. Their mothers.

- Attention, calling

Stalingrad, hello?

Stalingrad here. The front on the Volga

We're bringing them all together,

all over the Reich,

that is bigger than ever before.

Here's an airfield in southern France.

We are pushing the limits of technology.

This means 5000 kilometers of cable.

One hundred million radio listeners

in a live broadcast?

-That is risky.

-Then be inventive.

Doesn't matter whether the soldier

is really speaking from Stalingrad.

He could be in Kharkov or in the studio.

And record it in advance.

It's the effect that counts!

We ask you, comrades,

to sing with us the beautiful old

German Christmas carol, "Silent Night."

Let's all sing it together.

This request

from our comrades

in the south on the Black Sea

is being followed,

all stations are now joining in!

Now they are already singing

at the Arctic Ocean and in Finland.

And now they're singing

in the frontline of Brezkev.

And now we are adding

all the other stations.

Leningrad! Stalingrad!

And now joining us

France joins the program Catania.

SENTENCED TO DEATH

IN THE NAME OF THE GERMAN PEOPLE

And Africa.

And now everyone sings along.

Sing together with us all

the old German Christmas carol

It is terrible.

Our allies, the Hungarians,

Romanians and Italians, have failed.

Two hundred thousand soldiers

are trapped in Stalingrad.

I have prohibited an escape.

Time to tell the people the truth.

The Luftwaffe leadership

has not kept their promise.

Yes, because Gring has once again

bitten off more than he can chew.

Yes?

It's a call from Stalingrad.

Yes.

The Russian army has severely

breached our defense lines.

Our troops are no longer

capable of fighting.

We must tell the truth.

Not until Stalingrad is lost for good.

Then I'll turn it into a hero's song.

We'll only play mourning music

on the radio now.

We'll have three memorial days.

.The newspapers will all

come out with a mourning edge.

Stalingrad must mark

the turning point of our w*r effort.

What we need now is total w*r.

Labor service for all women.

Cessation of all non-essential industries.

All civilian life must

be prepared for w*r.

This way, I can bring you

up to two million new soldiers.

I know what you're thinking, Doctor,

and I agree with you.

I'll assign Lammers, Keitel and Bormann.

But, my Fhrer--

I don't want to burden you

with the administration of this task,

but you will be

accompanying the committee.

He passed me over.

I won't put up with that.

Stalingrad is my chance

to become the second man in the Reich.

I'm going to turn this disaster

into a great wake-up call for w*r.

We'll start right away.

Turn off that mourning music!

Send in the secretaries.

All right, ladies.

Good afternoon.

- Here.

- Good afternoon. Yes. Sit down, please.

The Sports Palace

must look as sober

as a Protestant church.

On the walls,

only the banners of our movement

and a banner, "Total w*r, shortest w*r."

We'll turn this into a referendum.

The most representative people

of our nation must be present.

Only the most reliable people, write down.

"In front of me sit

rows of German wounded--"

from the Eastern Front. In between them,

I count 50 bearers of the Oak Leaf

and the Knight's Cross.

Behind them, a block

of men and women of armaments workers.

Soldiers from the fighting Wehrmacht.

- Doctors.

- Scientists.

Artists.

My speech must be heard everywhere,

in the Sports Palace, of course,

but also in the radio,

in the newspapers and in the newsreels.

The entire press is prepared.

All papers have your speech

on page one, as instructed.

I will begin with a eulogy

for the fallen of Stalingrad.

I will speak from the bottom of my heart

and with holy sincerity.

We must make it clear to the people

that the West will perish

if we do not take drastic measures now.

As a cl*max

I will ask the people ten questions.

Ten. Like the commandments in the Bible.

What if people don't burst

into an enthusiastic yes?

By then, I will have spoken

for over an hour.

I could let them climb trees.

Helga, Hilde, you may join me

tomorrow at the Sports Palace.

Your father's speech

will go down in history.

I'll ask you all tomorrow.

Are you prepared to stand

behind the Wehrmacht

and the Fhrer as the phalanx--

of the homeland

and to continue this battle--

with fierce determination--

undeterred by all the vicissitudes--

of fate until victory is--

in our hands?

Yes!

I will drive the audience crazy.

I will pull out all the stops.

Let my voice spill over.

I will play the emotional scale

once up and down again.

Write down. "I ask you--"

Are you determined to follow the Fhrer

in the fight for victory

through thick and thin,

even under the heaviest personal burdens?

- The answer resounds

- Yes!

- And then they all shout?

- Fhrer command and we'll follow.

-Much louder!

-Fhrer command and we'll follow!

Fhrer command and we'll follow!

It's best to record it beforehand

and play it for backup.

"The most radical

The most radical today is radical,

and the most total today is total enough

to achieve victory!"

Naumann. Just a little idea.

Listen and see

if you notice anything.

"We will confront the Jewish threat,

if necessary,

with complete and radical eradication

with elimination."

This could be effective.

Yes. The slip of the tongue

is only for the Sports Palace, of course.

-We will leave it out in the newspapers.

-Yes.

if necessary with

complete and radical era-- elimination.

And then

I will ask the all-important question.

I ask you, do you want total w*r?

Do you want total w*r?

Yes!

Do you want it, if necessary,

more total and radical

than we can even imagine today?

And that is why from now on

the watchword is,

"Now, people rise up

and let the storm break loose!"

Now, people rise up

and let the storm break loose!

Thank you. Thank you.

-Thank you.

-Bravo!

Bravo.

This speech will go down in history

as the most important speech of the w*r.

Did you notice how people reacted

to the smallest nuances?

The most politically educated audience

you can find.

Had I told them to jump out

of the third floor of Columbus' house,

they would have done it.

Hannibal, Caesar and Napoleon in heaven.

Hannibal says,

"If I had had Stukas in Italy"

And Caesar says,

"If I had had tanks in Germania"

Says Napoleon, "And if I had had Goebbels

you wouldn't know to this day

that I lost the Battle of Waterloo!"

A message from the Fhrer.

He calls the speech

a first-class propagandistic masterpiece.

Let's hear it for our doctor.

-Cheers!

-Thank you so much.

My doctor, by my side.

Congratulations.

Your speech was the biggest hit.

Thank you so much.

Did you see?

There are fantastic comments everywhere.

But the reports all over

the Reich contain criticisms as well.

What do they say in industrial areas?

"Dear, Tommy, fly on.

We're just miners here.

Fly on to Berlin,

they're the ones that yelled yes."

Complainers do complain.

The question is,

why did the Luftwaffe allow

the bombers to reach Berlin at all?

The enemy's superiority is too great.

We all underestimated it.

That's why we need

radical means for total w*r.

We don't have enough armor material.

The three-member board

is working on solutions.

Sand in the gears everywhere.

Your favorite luxury restaurant,

Mr. Reichsmarschall is still open,

even though angry Berliners

have smashed the windows.

I wonder who's behind this.

I resent that. Do you know

what people are saying?

When will the w*r be over?

When Gring fits Goebbels' pants.

I've fired my maid.

Frontline duty.

What do I need to hear from Helldorf?

That you're lining the party's prominence

with luxury goods that don't have brands.

Let's see Helldorf start with himself.

The w*r has turned

and we can't bring ourselves

to ban horse racing

or close gambling banks.

We can't be so rigorous.

For instance, a beer brewing ban could

cause psychological setbacks in Bavaria.

I know you don't understand

the Bavarian mentality.

We mustn't make women our enemy either.

You have to give them their beauty care.

You don't usually close yourself off

from female charms.

In England, many more women

work for the w*r than here--

Gentlemen. We're already fighting

an all-out, total w*r.

A race w*r with the aim

of exterminating the Jews.

Foreign newspapers are reporting

more and more of atrocities.

-How is the propaganda reacting to this?

-Not at all.

We cannot really say that we didn't k*ll

2.5 million Jews, but only 2.3 million.

We've done so much wrong

that we have to win.

I will talk about this with

SS troop leaders and district leaders.

I am talking about the generals.

Those who know

they have burnt all bridges behind them

fight much more unreservedly than those

who still have a place to retreat to.

Then nobody can later say

they didn't know anything.

Gentlemen

I would like to mention

a very difficult subject before you.

It shall be discussed between us,

and yet we will never ever

talk about it in public.

I mean the evacuation of the Jews,

the extermination of the Jewish people.

The extinction of the Jewish people.

I'm sure most of you know what it means

when there are 100 bodies, when there are

500 bodies, or even 1000 bodies.

To have endured this.

And, to have remained decent,

apart from exceptional human weaknesses,

has hardened us.

This is a glorious page of our history

that has never been written

and will never be written.

By removing the Jew,

I eliminated the danger of the formation

of a revolutionary nucleus in Germany.

Couldn't this have been

solved more humanely?

Officers, we are in a fight to the death.

If our opponents won this fight

the German people would be exterminated.

The question came to us,

what about the women and children?

I've decided to come up

with a very clear solution here, too.

Because I didn't think

I was entitled to exterminate the men,

that is, to let them k*ll,

and letting their avengers grow up,

in the form of children who take revenge

upon our sons and grandchildren.

The hard decision had to be made

to let these people

disappear from the Earth.

I've put this together for the Fhrer.

But he doesn't want

to watch movies any more.

The British bombed Berlin.

Thousands are dead.

Any news from Schwanenwerder?

The children are there!

They hit the city center

not the outskirts.

I'll have the children taken away.

Take the consequences.

The generals fail

and Gring still lives

in his fantasy world.

I can't and won't do that.

In times of crisis, the Reichsmarschall

is cold and brutal like no one else.

Don't take the air raids so dramatically.

Most cities are poorly laid out and musty.

We'll get space for something new.

I'll have 800,000 Berliners evacuated.

But I beg you, my Fhrer,

speak to the people.

I'll speak after the victory.

It's five minutes to midnight.

We need a peace treaty.

The British and the Americans

are on the verge of invasion.

Drive the enemy forces back into the sea.

Our engineers are working very hard

on the miracle weapon.

Listen.

It's not about personal ambition.

But I am capable

of recruiting one million soldiers--

When things get more serious,

I resort to abnormal means. Not before!

You don't need a General Keitel.

What you need is a General Gneisenau.

In 1813, at Kolberg, he stood up

to the French in a desperate situation.

I will use this material

to make the greatest film ever made.

Very good.

That's your forte, Doctor. Propaganda!

Harlan is the right director

for this story.

Soon 20 million will have seen Jud S.

I have empowered Harlan to seek help

from the Wehrmacht, state and party.

For this propaganda w*r,

we will need

thousands of soldiers as extras.

As long as you leave me

a few more for the real w*r.

In the beginning,

we propagandists worked for the army,

and now the army is working for us.

I already have the big speeches

for the movie in my head.

Let's hear it.

"No love is more sacred

than the love of one's country."

No joy is sweeter than the joy of freedom.

"You know what we will face

if we don't win this battle with honor."

Whatever sacrifices

are demanded of the individual--

they do not outweigh

the sacred values for which we fight--

and must win.

You won't want to be

worse than your fathers.

Dare to be like them.

You have their example,

now set an example too!

Doctor, everything is destroyed.

The government district,

the memorial church, the zoo.

Thousands of deaths.

We have to put the party

at the center of all of our actions.

Good afternoon. Good afternoon.

Good afternoon. Good afternoon.

We'll do everything we can

to help you as soon as possible.

- First, you need to eat and drink.

- Thank you.

If the destroyed living space

causes concern,

we will say that the Fhrer will build

six million new houses after the w*r.

When you hear that the Party

is avoiding the frontline

we spread the word

that 95% of all HJ leaders

and 68% of all SA men

are serving in the Wehrmacht.

Minister, if I may ask,

do you think this will be enough?

The party is criticized openly.

People say it can't go on like this.

I'm going to form an organization

that will oppose defeatists

with brute force.

Operation B.

In Berlin, I will have

3000 activists deployed.

In teams of three,

they confront anyone

who says anything against the leadership.

How dare you?

Minister, I have an important message

from the Fhrer's headquarters.

- How is he?

- He has minor burns and bruises.

He is glad that you quickly made clear

that he survived the attack.

Hail Hitler.

I was flung away.

Everything was on fire.

I tried to get out of there.

Keitel came towards me.

He threw himself into my arms crying

and shouted, "My Fhrer, you're alive!"

Korten is dead. So is Brandt.

Schmundt is dying.

They were the most loyal.

Did you hear the news?

- Helldorf was in on it, too.

- What?

That scoundrel.

I've paid his debts at least five times.

I'll have them all k*lled. All of them!

But I survived.

Destiny has confirmed my mission.

You work under the hand of God.

Fate has chosen you

to bring our cause to a happy end.

You're right, Doctor.

Something needs to change fundamentally.

I've decided to honor your wishes.

I will make you Plenipotentiary

of the Reich for an all-out w*r effort.

Now I have dictatorial power.

I'm the first man after the Fhrer.

No one will dare plot against me anymore.

I affirm National Socialism.

Just as I understood it at the beginning.

I can no longer condone

what is happening today.

In the absence of a way out,

everything adheres

to the one single, fanatical will.

Unfortunately, personified by Goebbels.

It's disgusting to watch.

Where this treacherous dwarf--

"makes an appearance,

people flock together

and feel impressed

by a handshake or an autograph."

Even the culprit Stauffenberg

is not as condemnable as Helldorf.

We gave him all the advantages.

I've come up with something

very special for Helldorf.

He has to attend three executions

before he gets his turn.

Show me the film.

I want to see everything.

Yes?

The Fhrer is here.

My Fhrer.

It is an honor that you have accepted

the invitation.

You look beautiful, Magda.

I'm sorry. These are the best I could get.

Your husband closed the flower shops.

Ah!

We're happy that you're here,

Uncle Fhrer.

My family. Mm.

The girls are real ladies.

Very elegant, like their mother.

Helmut.

You're already a real young man,

aren't you?

He recently wrote an essay about the w*r.

Helmut, would you please

read it to the Fhrer?

"The Jews forced the w*r on us.

Because the German people

have too little space,

we need more habitat in the East."

You copied that from Dad.

No, Daddy copied it from me.

He's a marvelous boy.

What else do you know about w*r?

The German people

have never won a w*r on two fronts.

But they will never give up.

Never.

My Fhrer.

It is a sign of weakness

trying to contact Stalin now, Doctor.

The enemy knows how weak we are.

If the people are so weak,

they deserve to fall.

Let them be destroyed.

I will destroy the foundation it needs

for its most primitive survival.

We now have

to scrape together what's there,

even if it's women.

There are so many women who want to sh**t.

If we take them to the second line,

the men won't run away.

I don't know the concept of surrender.

I'm a man who's worked

his way up from nothing.

I have been

living away from the world

for over four and a half years.

I haven't been to the theater,

in a concert or a film.

I live only for the fight.

And it can only be won

with my iron willpower.

We're with you, no matter what.

I will give the German people

a great victory.

And I will speak on the radio.

Finally!

For far too long, I had to do

without my biggest weapon.

My Fhrer, I congratulate you on this.

The one who settles up with life

usually wins.

We do not let go.

Better to be buried under rubble

than to surrender.

Better to be buried

under rubble than to surrender.

We won't let go.

They'll have to cut off our hands

or beat us to death.

One by one.

We won't let go.

It's better to be buried

under rubble than to surrender.

You are here today,

on the 12th anniversary

of the takeover of power,

witnessing the world premiere

of a cinematic masterpiece.

You, the homeland

and the soldiers at the front

in the trapped fortress of La Rochelle.

It's been two years since I commissioned

Professor Harlan to make this major film

and to create an artistic homage

to the unshakable steadfastness

of this people.

The greatest is always born out of pain.

If a man takes all the pain

upon himself then

he is great.

Now, people, stand up!

-And--

-a storm breaks loose!

I will have shot anyone

who does not provide resistance.

There is nothing but bad news.

Kolberg could not be kept.

Nobody can find out.

That would have consequences

for the Kolberg film.

One more thing.

It seems the fortress La Rochelle

is handed over without a fight.

Fuel the abomination propaganda!

Russians r*pe women, k*ll children.

I have set up a resistance organization

for the enemy-occupied territories.

A werewolf.

-But there isn't hardly any resistance.

-Then we'll pretend there is.

You should have seen

how everyone wanted to leave as quickly

as possible on the Fhrer's birthday.

Congratulations.

But I have again reminded the people

of the historical importance

of the Fhrer.

If Germany is still alive today,

if Europe, and with it, the Western world,

with its culture and civilization,

has not yet completely sunk

into the dark maelstrom of the dark abyss

you have him alone to thank for this.

Because he will be

the man of this century.

Is there any hope?

The magic b*llet?

It is no good.

The Fhrer overestimates our powers.

It seems as if he is already

living in the clouds.

But how often has he descended to us

like a deus ex machina?

And what if not this time?

Then we will die.

All of us.

We will go down in history with him.

Glad you're here, Doctor.

All is lost.

My generals have betrayed me.

I have conquered all of Europe.

And now the Russians are in Berlin.

I will not fight.

Too great a danger I might fall

into Russians hands alive

and they'll commit crimes against my body.

It will be easy

to leave this agonizing existence.

One short moment, and I will be free.

We won't give up.

-I'll send for Magda and the children.

-You know I don't think that's right.

But it's admirable.

We will fight until the end.

Here is the first edition of our new paper

for the defenders of Greater Berlin.

We still do propaganda from the bunker.

If only everyone

was cut from your cloth, Doctor.

The w*r is lost.

The future belongs

to the stronger people of the East.

To the German people

I don't shed a tear.

The Fhrer didn't force himself.

You chose him.

And now God be with you.

How about you, gentlemen?

Why did you work for me?

Now your pretty little neck will be cut.

Kids, have you packed?

Uncle Fhrer is waiting.

- Everyone just one toy.

- Defenders of Berlin!

The eyes of your wives, your mothers

and your children are on you.

I will of course remain in Berlin

with my employees,

my wife and children are also here

and will stay here.

I will defend the imperial capital

with all means at my disposal.

The Mongol storm will and must be broken

at the walls of our city.

You have to take the view

of Frederick the Great.

He imagined himself on a distant star.

From above, events on our planet

seem insignificant.

Frederick the Great had no children.

Neither does the Fhrer.

Look around, Magda.

Our world is falling apart.

The Russians are in Berlin

and have discovered

our death camps in the East.

The Americans are in Buchenwald.

You know what I think.

We have done so much.

-We can't disappear.

-Joseph, it's all been discussed.

I am sure of it. I will do it.

I'm proud of you.

This is London calling.

Here is a newsflash.

The German radio has just announced

that Hitler is dead.

I'll repeat that.

The German radio has just announced

that Hitler is dead.

I survived.

I can speak for those

who cannot speak.

I speak not only for the six million Jews

but for all the people

who were k*lled back then.

People have to respect people.

We're all the same.

We all come to this world the same.

That's why it is not understandable

that so many people

were prepared to k*ll other people,

instead of recognizing them

as human beings.

Be human!

That's the most important thing.
