1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:10,320
After the propaganda triumph at his trial,
Hitler set out to write the Bible of National

2
00:00:10,320 --> 00:00:11,640
Socialism.

3
00:00:11,640 --> 00:00:16,719
He dictated much of the text here in his cell
to his faithful follower, Rudolf Hess.

4
00:00:16,719 --> 00:00:20,960
On Saturday evenings, the other prisoners sat
around as Hitler read out the completed

5
00:00:20,960 --> 00:00:23,120
chapters to them.

6
00:00:23,120 --> 00:00:27,679
The book as a whole dwells on the great
obsessions which had come to dominate...

7
00:00:27,679 --> 00:00:28,679
thought.

8
00:00:28,679 --> 00:00:34,359
The Jews, racism, living space for the German
people, the evils of communism and...

9
00:00:34,359 --> 00:00:35,719
democracy.

10
00:00:35,719 --> 00:00:41,200
But it also includes Hitler's views on a
variety of other topics ranging from boxing

11
00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:53,240
to syphilis.

12
00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:59,840
The amazing appeal Hitler was later to
exercise, but on his mastery of the spoken...

13
00:00:59,840 --> 00:01:05,840
After prison, the leader, or Fuhrer as he now
called himself, had a new political strategy.

14
00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:10,560
Instead of planning another coup, he aimed to
win power at the polls.

15
00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:19,640
What was to win him millions of votes was
instead his vision of a great national...

16
00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:23,400
Hitler's election opportunity came with the
onset of the Depression.

17
00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:27,159
In a few years, one in three of the labor
force was out of work.

18
00:01:27,159 --> 00:01:31,519
Ilse Wendel was a church social worker during
the Depression among the unemployed in the

19
00:01:31,519 --> 00:01:32,519
Berlin slums.

20
00:01:32,519 --> 00:01:38,280
The despair was so terrible, as I can't
describe it.

21
00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:43,079
You had everywhere beggars, wherever you went
in Berlin, you had beggars.

22
00:01:43,079 --> 00:01:46,500
The democratic political parties offered no
solution.

23
00:01:46,500 --> 00:01:50,340
To millions of Germans, the only hope was
Adolf Hitler.

24
00:01:50,340 --> 00:01:54,060
Have you been to the marketplace?

25
00:01:54,060 --> 00:01:58,620
Do you know how much it costs for a loaf of
bread these days?

26
00:01:58,620 --> 00:02:01,620
Five hundred thousand marks.

27
00:02:01,620 --> 00:02:02,620
Five hundred thousand marks.

28
00:02:02,620 --> 00:02:09,659
The wheelbarrows aren't big enough to carry
the money in.

29
00:02:09,659 --> 00:02:13,580
He's afraid I'll stir things up.

30
00:02:13,580 --> 00:02:14,580
You can tell Commissar Carr.

31
00:02:14,660 --> 00:02:18,740
This is not a time for silence.

32
00:02:18,740 --> 00:02:25,660
I support Hitler because he, after having
seen all that depravity, all that poverty

33
00:02:25,660 --> 00:02:31,939
here, was the only one who could do social
justice to the people here.

34
00:02:31,939 --> 00:02:35,960
He had that ability.

35
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:46,680
The ability derived from his readiness to
throw himself totally open, to appear as

36
00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:57,040
it were bare and naked before his audience,
to tear open his heart and display, to throw

37
00:02:57,040 --> 00:03:03,960
on a few extra generators and suddenly become
absolutely charged with energy.

38
00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:22,960
I have rejected the idea of the people to
step up and to spread the will.

39
00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:27,680
It wasn't as though he was using words, it's
as though the emotions came direct without

40
00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:28,680
words on this.

41
00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:31,680
There was a rawness about it, a clobber.

42
00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:39,680
Like ourselves alone lies the fate of the
German people.

43
00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:44,680
Six and a half million votes, 107 seats for
his party in the Reich.

44
00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:46,680
Get me Hitler.

45
00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:54,680
One vote, one vote, one vote, one vote, one

vote, one vote, one vote, one vote, one vote,

106
00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:54,679
Among the worshippers in the Hitler Youth was
Alphonse Haig, now a writer on the Nazi...

107
00:09:02,679 --> 00:09:06,679
The decisive turning point in my life
occurred at the age of ten.

108
00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:13,679
From that moment on, I would remain beholden
to Adolf Hitler, long until after our defeat.

109
00:09:13,679 --> 00:09:18,679
I was one of 82,000 members of the Hitler
Youth lined up in the Zeppelin's Field.

110
00:09:18,679 --> 00:09:20,679
I stood in the first row.

111
00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:27,679
And when Hitler began to speak, we were just
tingling with nervousness, finally to see ...

112
00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:30,679
Then he appeared on the podium.

113
00:09:30,679 --> 00:09:35,679
I was afraid to look at my neighbor because I
didn't want him to see the tears in my eyes.

114
00:09:35,679 --> 00:09:37,679
My knees were shaking.

115
00:09:37,679 --> 00:09:40,679
And Hitler beamed down on us.

116
00:09:40,679 --> 00:09:44,679
He calmed us down by lifting his hands, both
hands, several times.

117
00:09:44,679 --> 00:09:49,679
When he began to speak, it was in a very
conversational tone.

118
00:09:49,679 --> 00:09:52,679
Man to boy, father to son.

119
00:10:10,679 --> 00:10:15,679
And he said, how fortunate we were to live in
this new age.

120
00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:21,679
And he said, from now on, you no longer have
to fear any class distinction.

121
00:10:21,679 --> 00:10:23,679
You're all one.

122
00:10:23,679 --> 00:10:27,679
But the essence and the emphasis occurred in
the final sentences.

123
00:10:27,679 --> 00:10:32,679
He leaned over the podium, and I know he
looked straight into my eyes.

124
00:10:32,679 --> 00:10:39,679
And he said, you, my boys, the young of
Germany.

125
00:10:40,679 --> 00:10:47,679
Live in a fortunate time, because you are the
standard bearers of the movement.

126
00:10:47,679 --> 00:10:53,679
You will inherit what we have so far created.

127
00:10:53,679 --> 00:11:01,679
And from that moment on, without any doubt, I
was bound to Adolf Hitler, long until afte...

128
00:11:01,679 --> 00:11:10,679
Germany is in front of us, marching against
us, and behind us, Germany is coming.

129
00:11:10,679 --> 00:11:33,679
The mid-1930s were the halcyon years of
Hitler's Germany.

130
00:11:33,679 --> 00:11:38,679
Germany was at peace, her prosperity
restored, her national pride recovered.

131
00:11:38,679 --> 00:11:44,679
To those prepared to ignore or justify the
police state, it seemed a beautiful Germany.

132
00:11:44,679 --> 00:11:50,679
A host of distinguished foreign visitors,
many with impeccable democratic credentials,

133
00:11:50,679 --> 00:11:54,679
came to call on the Führer at his mountain
retreat, the Berghof.

134
00:11:54,679 --> 00:11:59,679
Among them was the former British Prime
Minister, David Lloyd George.

135
00:11:59,679 --> 00:12:04,679
With LG was his secretary, Albert Sylvester.

136
00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:12,679
Hitler ran down the flight of stairs to
welcome LG as he got out of his car,

137
00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:19,679
shook hands with him most warmly, and
conducted us into the inside of the Berghof.

138
00:12:19,679 --> 00:12:27,679
This massive room, the only light of which
came from a massive window, which was...

139
00:12:27,679 --> 00:12:30,679
I've never seen such a window.

140
00:12:30,679 --> 00:12:34,679
The Führer said, you have done great things
for Germany.

141
00:12:34,679 --> 00:12:41,679
You have restored her honor, and you have
gained for her equal rights.
