Rise Attiring in Pursuit of Truth proudly present the official iPod Signature Series

2
00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:12,040
Pursuity Wave. Let's take a look.

3
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:51,140
Oh yeah. You know that's right. Grab your coffee. Stretch those hamstrings. Disbump your neighbor. It's going down.

4
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:14,000
This is Sir Patrick Mack and I approve this message.

5
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:36,800
Hiya. Here's ten newspapers where these Jews are pushing this six million figure between the years of 1915 and 1938.

6
00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:49,800
The first newspaper is The Sun of New York. New York, June the 6th, 1915.

7
00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:56,800
That is The Sun. It's the first page of the fifth section that I want.

8
00:01:56,800 --> 00:02:00,800
There we go.

9
00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:11,800
The Sun is a bit ripped. Along there it's all come off a bit.

10
00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:15,800
The fifth section is the first page.

11
00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:22,800
And the article is called Horrors worse than Kishinev charged against Russia today.

12
00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:30,800
Now there's the big article. It takes up most of the page.

13
00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:37,800
So go in. Yeah. Go.

14
00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:46,800
Since the destruction of the Temple in Jerusalem, the Jewish people have had no darker page in their history than that which the Russian government is writing today.

15
00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:56,800
Six million Jews, one half of the Jewish people throughout the world, are being persecuted, hounded, humiliated, tortured, starved.

16
00:02:56,800 --> 00:03:00,800
As I go along here, support here as well.

17
00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:03,800
Dear brethren, have mercy on the six million Jews in Russia.

18
00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:07,800
And take a look at all the Jews, old men, women and children, are being driven mercilessly from town to town.

19
00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:09,800
There it is people.

20
00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:11,800
Six million Jews.

21
00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:19,800
One half of the Jewish people throughout the world are being persecuted, hounded, humiliated, tortured and starved.

22
00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:25,800
As I go along here, support here as well.

23
00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:29,800
Dear brethren, have mercy on the six million Jews in Russia.

24
00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:32,800
And take our part.

25
00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:34,800
Here's again.

26
00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:37,800
Six million Jews in Russia.

27
00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:39,800
Six million.

28
00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:42,800
This is in an article entitled,

29
00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:47,800
Horrors worse than Kishinev charged against Russia today.

30
00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:56,800
That's in the sun of New York, Sunday, June the 6th, 1915.

31
00:03:56,800 --> 00:04:01,800
This is 18 years before Hitler ever set for the government.

32
00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:02,800
18 years.

33
00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:03,800
Yeah.

34
00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:08,800
He was holding in his hand the book of Adolf Hitler in Machshimo.

35
00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:11,800
Mankind translated to Hebrew.

36
00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:15,800
And he started to read from the book why Hitler hated Jews.

37
00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:17,800
You're not going to believe it.

38
00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:21,800
This is the next newspaper.

39
00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:23,800
This is New York Times again.

40
00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:25,800
It's from 1918.

41
00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:26,800
There it is.

42
00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:27,800
The New York Times.

43
00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:32,800
October the 18th, 1918.

44
00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:54,800
Anyone seeking the victor's version of World War II need only watch any Hollywood movie, turn on the TV to any World War II documentary, or visit any publication.

45
00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:56,800
Or visit any public library.

46
00:04:56,800 --> 00:05:01,800
Ladies and gentlemen, you are about to hear a very frightening speech.

47
00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:08,800
This speech is an explanation of the plans now being laid to throw the United States into a third world war.

48
00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:10,800
There it is.

49
00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:15,800
Six million souls will need help to resume normal life when war is ended.

50
00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:19,800
Six million souls.

51
00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:22,800
Termination lost by conquest.

52
00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:26,800
All our organically grown institutions.

53
00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:34,800
The mass meeting he has that 127,000 Jews have been killed and six million are in peril.

54
00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:39,800
This is not a Jewish meeting.

55
00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:48,800
This is the conscience of America making itself ill.

56
00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:55,800
It was international Zionism that wanted to destroy Germany and Hitler.

57
00:05:55,800 --> 00:06:12,800
And what I tell you now concerns not only you, but your children and the survival of this country and Christianity.

58
00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:17,800
And what they were called in Germany is not very material, but they were communists because in 1917, the communists took over the United States.

59
00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:18,800
Germany for a few days.

60
00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:19,800
Rosa Luxemburg and Karl Liebknecht.

61
00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:20,800
And they were communists.

62
00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:21,800
The communists took over Germany for a few days.

63
00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:22,800
Rosa Luxemburg and Karl Liebknecht.

64
00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:27,800
And a group of Jews in Germany took over the government for three days.

65
00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:28,800
And we were communists.

66
00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:31,800
And a group of Jews in Germany took over Germany for three days.

67
00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:32,800
And they were communists.

68
00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:34,800
And they were communists because in 1917, the communists took over Germany for a few days.

69
00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:41,800
Rosa Luxemburg and Karl Liebknecht and a group of Jews in Germany took over the government for three days.

70
00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:48,540
communists took over Germany for a few days. Rosa Luxemburg and Karl Liebknecht and a group

71
00:06:48,540 --> 00:06:56,940
of Jews in Germany took over the government for three days. In fact, when the Kaiser ended

72
00:06:56,940 --> 00:07:03,040
the war, he fled to Holland because he thought the communists were going to take over Germany

73
00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:07,760
as they did Russia, and that he was going to meet the same fate that the Tsar did in

74
00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:15,440
Russia. So, he left and went to Holland for safety, for security.

75
00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:29,520
At that time, when the communist threat in Germany was quashed, it was quiet, the Jews were working

76
00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:38,960
still, trying to get back into their former status, and the Germans fought them in every

77
00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:47,200
way they could, without hurting a hair on anyone's head. The same as one group, the prohibitionists,

78
00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:55,280
fought the people who were interested in liquor, and they didn't fight one another with pistols, they did it every way they could.

79
00:07:55,280 --> 00:08:07,040
Well, that's the way they were fighting the Jews in Germany. And at that time, mind you, there were 80 to 90 million Germans, and there were only 460,000 Jews.

80
00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:25,040
Less than one half or 1% of the population of Germany were Jews. And yet, they controlled all the press, they controlled most of the economy, because they had come in and with cheap money, you know the way the mark was devalued, they bought up practically everything.

81
00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:46,040
Well, in 1933, when Germany refused to surrender, mind you, to the World Conference of Jews in Amsterdam, they broke up, and Mr. Undermeyer came back to the United States, who was the head of the American delegation, and the president of the whole conference.

82
00:08:46,040 --> 00:08:54,040
And he went from the steamer to ABC, and made a radio broadcast throughout the United States, in which he said,

83
00:08:54,040 --> 00:09:09,040
The Jews of the world now declare a holy war against Germany. We are now engaged in a sacred conflict against the Germans. And we are going to starve them into surrender.

84
00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:28,040
We are going to use a worldwide boycott against them that will destroy them because they are dependent upon their export business. And it is a fact that two-thirds of Germany's food supply had to be imported.

85
00:09:28,040 --> 00:09:44,040
And it could only be imported with the proceeds of what they exported, their labor. So, if Germany could not export, two-thirds of Germany's population would have to starve. There just was not enough food for more than one-third of a population.

86
00:09:44,040 --> 00:10:01,040
Now, in this declaration, which I have here, it was printed on a whole page in the New York Times on August 7, 1933, Mr. Samuel Undermeyer boldly stated that this economic boycott is our means of self-defense.

87
00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:18,040
President Roosevelt has advocated its use in the NRA, which some of you may remember, where everybody was to be boycotted unless they followed the rules laid down by the New Deal, which, of course, was declared unconstitutional by the Supreme Court at that time.

88
00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:35,040
Nevertheless, the Jews of the world declared a boycott against Germany, and it was so effective that you couldn't find one thing in any store anywhere in the world with the words made in Germany on it.

89
00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:53,680
January 30, 1933. Adolf Hitler is appointed Chancellor of Germany. The former Austrian soldier and statesman is now a major figure in a coalition government.

90
00:10:54,620 --> 00:11:00,680
Hitler was appointed by Paul von Hindenburg, the second-elect president of the German Weimar Republic.

91
00:11:00,680 --> 00:11:12,060
After having dissolved the Reichstag twice in 1932, Hindenburg was ultimately the one to secure the National Socialist Party's power, even though he was personally opposed to Hitler.

92
00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:22,420
Hindenburg was not only a Lutheran Protestant, but a direct descendant of Martin Luther and his wife, Katharina von Bora, through their daughter, Margaret Luther.

93
00:11:22,420 --> 00:11:34,720
Like Hitler, Hindenburg was a military man and statesman, having served in the Austro-Prussian Seven Weeks War of 1866 and the Franco-German War of 1870.

94
00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:45,720
And retiring in 1911, he was called back to service in 1914 as the superior of expert strategist Major General Erich Ludendorff.

95
00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:55,700
Their success earned Hindenburg even more public acclaim, and he was promoted to the rank of field marshal and eventually command all land forces.

96
00:11:56,420 --> 00:12:05,960
Hindenburg had known the struggle of later dealing with left-wing radical uprisings throughout Germany, but still had his share of criticism for the Republican view.

97
00:12:06,640 --> 00:12:11,620
He retired again in 1919, viewed largely as a nonpartisan.

98
00:12:11,620 --> 00:12:15,600
But in 1925 came the death of Friedrich Ebert.

99
00:12:16,240 --> 00:12:20,100
Paul von Hindenburg became the second president of the Weimar Republic.

100
00:12:20,940 --> 00:12:26,600
He ran again in 1932, seen as the only candidate who could defeat Adolf Hitler.

101
00:12:27,240 --> 00:12:37,440
Centrist Catholics and Social Democrats kept Hindenburg in office, but Hitler's movement was not to be denied and would prove useful, even if unpleasant, as allies.

102
00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:48,640
Two governments were emerging, the first led by Franz von Papin, a wealthy Westphalian Catholic scion and diplomat who helped dissolve the Weimar government.

103
00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:55,940
Papin was a soldier in World War I and military attache in Washington, D.C. to the German ambassador.

104
00:12:55,940 --> 00:13:06,920
As a diplomat to the U.S. and Mexico, Papin assisted the Mexican government in procuring arms for the Victoriano Huerta administration, which collapsed soon after.

105
00:13:07,560 --> 00:13:11,740
He had done the same in Germany, purchasing weapons during the First World War.

106
00:13:12,260 --> 00:13:24,820
On the 22nd of August, 1914, a series of bombings against Allied-supporting New York City businesses were carried out, led by Detective Paul Koenig, who was hired by Papin.

107
00:13:24,820 --> 00:13:39,120
With massive donations coming from Berlin, Franz opened a front company and preclusively purchased hydraulic presses to prevent artillery shell production and also produced fake passports for Germans to leave for home.

108
00:13:39,860 --> 00:13:53,620
The second party, led by Kurt von Schleicher, last chancellor of the Weimar Republic, who pushed for a more authoritative regime, Schleicher was a former army officer, an opponent of Hitler and Heinrich Brüning.

109
00:13:53,620 --> 00:14:02,820
The foreign minister and man responsible for dissolving the Reichstag, neither party would be able to win the support of the National Socialists.

110
00:14:03,340 --> 00:14:10,920
Hitler demanded to be chancellor of any government in which he and his party were involved, but Hindenburg would not concede.

111
00:14:10,920 --> 00:14:20,580
However, in November of 1932, Papin and Hitler agreed on a government, with Hitler as chancellor, Papin as vice-chancellor.

112
00:14:21,200 --> 00:14:26,920
With Schleicher's efforts for parliamentary support losing steam, Hindenburg called for his resignation.

113
00:14:27,680 --> 00:14:33,700
On January 30, 1933, Hindenburg appointed Adolf Hitler as chancellor.

114
00:14:33,700 --> 00:14:41,040
His cabinet only consisting of two National Socialists, Wilhelm Frick and Hermann Göring.

115
00:14:41,780 --> 00:14:49,940
The modern-day belief is that Adolf Hitler began immediately suppressing rights of Jews in Germany, but no sanctioned campaigns occurred.

116
00:14:50,660 --> 00:14:57,280
The violence that did occur was already ongoing and were principally because of the Jewish involvement in World War I.

117
00:14:57,280 --> 00:15:01,560
At this time, Hitler was not the undisputed ruler of Germany.

118
00:15:02,180 --> 00:15:09,000
He was not yet in control of the military and would not be until a consolidation of power that occurred later.

119
00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:22,920
February 14, 1933, the Central Association of German Citizens of Jewish Faith released a statement voicing their concern for Hitler and offering support for Hindenburg.

120
00:15:22,920 --> 00:15:28,800
Nevertheless, we are convinced that no one will dare to violate our constitutional rights.

121
00:15:29,900 --> 00:15:44,320
Central Vereen Deutscher Staatsbürger, Judischen Glaubens, or Central Association of German Citizens of Jewish Faith, began in 1893, founded to promote Jewish social equality and protect from anti-Semitism.

122
00:15:44,880 --> 00:15:51,540
Much of their energy was spent attempting to dispel the ages-old idea that they were part of an international Jewish syndicate.

123
00:15:51,540 --> 00:16:01,280
Two weeks after the statement, the Krefeld chapter held an event titled The Future of the German Jews, featuring Julius Brodnitz and Arthur Sandalovsky.

124
00:16:01,840 --> 00:16:08,300
Multiple incidents were reported in the surrounding days of the event, such as windows being smashed and even gunfire.

125
00:16:08,920 --> 00:16:14,020
The February 23rd issue of Senchalverein Zeitung reported of the event.

126
00:16:14,520 --> 00:16:16,860
Brodnitz and Sandalovsky stressed,

127
00:16:16,860 --> 00:16:37,600
Brodnitz died a few years later, in 1936, as a result of a concussion, suffered in an automobile accident.

128
00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:55,740
He had three sons, one being Otto Brodnitz, who was employed by investment banker Louis Frank Rothschild, a graduate of Columbia University and partner of Leonard A. Hochstatter from Kunin Loeb, the firm that funded much of the First World War.

129
00:16:56,560 --> 00:17:00,760
Rothschild was married to Cora Guggenheim of the famed Guggenheim family.

130
00:17:00,760 --> 00:17:07,700
But even the Senchalverein did not believe that the new government was inciting anti-Jewish uprisings, stating,

131
00:17:08,460 --> 00:17:15,340
We do not believe our German fellow citizens will let themselves be carried away into committing excesses against the Jews.

132
00:17:16,020 --> 00:17:18,380
But this was not enough for the Jewish community.

133
00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:20,860
They wanted war.

134
00:17:20,860 --> 00:17:36,280
We do not believe our culture, this wave of destruction of our whole cultural life,

135
00:17:37,020 --> 00:17:40,040
the destruction of our literature,

136
00:17:41,040 --> 00:17:44,920
the destruction of our theaters, the cinema,

137
00:17:44,920 --> 00:17:46,820
the ingenuity, the whole art of世界.

138
00:17:47,040 --> 00:17:48,620
Z fanning will now be carried away,

139
00:17:48,720 --> 00:17:49,860
there is no one abdrain.

140
00:17:49,860 --> 00:17:50,040
Millions of our German cities need no more.

141
00:17:54,340 --> 00:17:56,340
They say they are no more.

142
00:17:56,820 --> 00:17:58,340
This, what we got is not by,

143
00:17:58,340 --> 00:17:59,300
that this way that is not by our people

144
00:17:59,300 --> 00:18:00,220
creed of our land,

145
00:18:00,600 --> 00:18:01,000
but by hence,

146
00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:01,980
by 2050 we can point out

147
00:18:01,980 --> 00:18:03,100
and rapidly beIA,

00:18:03,660 --> 00:18:06,440
which has no more with German people despite

149
00:18:06,440 --> 00:18:06,720
if not by our people.

150
00:18:06,720 --> 00:18:08,720
that our hearts came,

151
00:18:08,720 --> 00:18:10,720
the...

00:18:18,720 --> 00:18:20,720
...

153
00:18:20,720 --> 00:18:22,720
...

00:18:22,720 --> 00:18:24,720
...

155
00:18:24,720 --> 00:18:26,720
...

156
00:18:26,720 --> 00:18:28,720
...

157
00:18:28,720 --> 00:18:30,720

...

167
00:18:54,720 --> 00:19:01,720
of the great men and of the people, that will be removed from the heart and from the head

168
00:19:01,720 --> 00:19:11,720
of this small German youth and thus a big issue in the German history.

169
00:19:11,720 --> 00:19:19,720
Nothing that was once great was, nothing that helped this state and this people

170
00:19:19,720 --> 00:19:22,800
to be

171
00:19:22,800 --> 00:19:28,600
strong made, are assured by these

172
00:19:28,600 --> 00:19:32,560
burned and oppressed attacks.

173
00:19:32,560 --> 00:19:40,160
everything CS of 2 in July started from the symbols of the life Beshtun

174
00:19:40,160 --> 00:19:44,800
to the large beds of our history ...

175
00:19:44,800 --> 00:19:47,440
March 4, 1933.

176
00:19:47,440 --> 00:19:53,360
United States inaugurates Franklin Delano Roosevelt as the 32nd president. His speech

177
00:19:53,360 --> 00:19:59,440
was heard by tens of millions of anxious Americans desperate for hope at the height of the Great

178
00:19:59,440 --> 00:20:06,540
Depression. March 12th, the American Jewish Congress announced a protest at New York City's

179
00:20:06,540 --> 00:20:13,800
Madison Square Garden, scheduled for the 27th. A call for an American boycott of all German goods

180
00:20:13,800 --> 00:20:21,180
raged throughout New York and other major cities. March 23rd, 20,000 rally at New York City Hall

181
00:20:21,180 --> 00:20:26,460
and shipping stations for North German Lloyd and Hamburg America. Dr. Stephen S. Wise,

182
00:20:26,460 --> 00:20:30,620
Rabbi of the Free Synagogue and the National Leader of Liberal Thought, speaks in behalf of

183
00:20:30,620 --> 00:20:41,960
the Jews of the United States. This is not a Jewish meeting. This is the conscience of America

184
00:20:41,960 --> 00:20:51,620
making itself... The next day on the 24th, London's Daily Express releases the famed headline,

185
00:20:52,040 --> 00:21:00,660
Judea declares war on Germany. Jews of all the world unite. Boycott of German goods. The whole of Israel

186
00:21:00,660 --> 00:21:06,820
throughout the world is uniting to declare an economic and financial war on Germany. The

187
00:21:06,820 --> 00:21:13,360
appearance of the swastika is the symbol of the new Germany has revived the old war symbol of Judas

188
00:21:13,360 --> 00:21:21,400
to new life. 14 million Jews scattered over the entire world are tight to each other, as if one

189
00:21:21,400 --> 00:21:27,860
man, in order to declare war against the German persecutors of their fellow believers. The Jewish

190
00:21:27,860 --> 00:21:34,580
wholesaler will quit his house. The banker, his stock exchange. The merchant, his business. And the beggar,

191
00:21:34,580 --> 00:21:40,340
his humble hut, his humble hut in order to join the holy war against Hitler's people. From the Jewish

192
00:21:40,340 --> 00:21:47,700
publication, Not a Wretch. The war against Germany will be waged by all Jewish communities, conferences,

193
00:21:48,180 --> 00:21:56,340
congresses, by every individual Jew. Thereby, the war against Germany will ideologically enliven and

194
00:21:56,340 --> 00:22:04,020
promote our interests, which require that Germany be wholly destroyed. The danger for us Jews lies in the

195
00:22:04,020 --> 00:22:11,300
whole German people in Germany as a whole, as well as individually. It must be rendered harmless for

196
00:22:11,300 --> 00:22:20,020
all time. In this war, we Jews have to participate, and this with all the strength and might we have at our disposal.

197
00:22:20,020 --> 00:22:28,500
March 26th, the Zionist Association of Germany releases a telegram calling the Jewish accusations

198
00:22:28,500 --> 00:22:36,100
against National Socialist Germany sensational and mendacious. For many Zionists, the National Socialist

199
00:22:36,100 --> 00:22:43,300
regime was exactly what they needed to encourage mass immigration to Palestine. Journalist Klaus

200
00:22:43,300 --> 00:22:51,860
Paul Kane authored in The Secret Contacts, Zionism and Nazi Germany, 1933-1941, published in the Journal of

201
00:22:51,860 --> 00:22:58,260
Palestine that the financial success of National Socialism would play a pivotal role in the establishment

202
00:22:58,260 --> 00:23:05,060
of a Jewish state, and that this little-known fact would shed a new light onto the real relationship

203
00:23:05,060 --> 00:23:11,860
between Nazi Germany and the Jews. German Foreign Minister Konstantin von Nora maintained the position

204
00:23:11,860 --> 00:23:18,740
that Germany was the aggressor. As concerns Jews, I can only say that their propagandists abroad

205
00:23:18,740 --> 00:23:24,820
are rendering their co-religionists in Germany no service by giving the German public, through their

206
00:23:24,820 --> 00:23:31,940
distorted and untruthful news about persecution and torture of Jews, the impression that they actually

207
00:23:31,940 --> 00:23:39,700
halt at nothing, not even at lies and calumny, to fight the present German government. But even U.S.

208
00:23:39,700 --> 00:23:45,700
Secretary of State and man responsible for the establishment of the United Nations, Cordell Hall,

209
00:23:45,700 --> 00:23:49,940
said in a telegram to Rabbi Stephen Wise of the American Jewish Congress,

210
00:23:50,660 --> 00:23:56,340
Whereas there was for a short time considerable physical mistreatment of Jews, this phase may be

211
00:23:56,340 --> 00:24:01,780
considered virtually terminated. A stabilization appears to have been reached in the field of

212
00:24:01,780 --> 00:24:07,540
personal mistreatment. I feel hopeful that the situation which has caused such widespread concern

213
00:24:07,540 --> 00:24:13,940
throughout this country will soon revert to normal. Despite the conflicting opinions and cautions,

214
00:24:13,940 --> 00:24:23,140
the Jews wanted nothing short of war. March 27th, massive protests in New York City, Boston, Chicago,

215
00:24:23,140 --> 00:24:30,260
Philadelphia, Baltimore, Cleveland, and cities across the country, calling for action against a new

216
00:24:30,260 --> 00:24:37,220
Germany. All of this occurred before Hitler ever called for a boycott on Jewish goods. Hitler's response

217
00:24:37,220 --> 00:24:42,900
would come in a speech on March 28th, four days after the Jews declared war on Germany.

218
00:24:42,900 --> 00:24:48,100
Now that the domestic enemies of the nation have been eliminated by the bulk itself,

219
00:24:48,100 --> 00:24:53,940
what we have long been waiting for will not come to pass. The communist and Marxist criminals and

220
00:24:53,940 --> 00:24:59,780
their Jewish intellectual instigators who, having made off with their capital stocks across the border

221
00:24:59,780 --> 00:25:06,260
in the nick of time, are now unfolding an unscrupulous treasonous campaign of agitation against the German

222
00:25:06,260 --> 00:25:13,220
Volk as a whole from there. Lies and slander of positively hair-raising perversity are being launched about

223
00:25:13,220 --> 00:25:19,540
Germany. Horror stories of dismembered Jewish corpses, gouged out eyes, and hacked off hands,

224
00:25:19,540 --> 00:25:24,500
are circulating for the purpose of defaming the German Volk in the world for the second time,

225
00:25:24,500 --> 00:25:31,540
just as they had succeeded in doing once before in 1914. Many historians will point out that this

226
00:25:31,540 --> 00:25:37,300
boycott order was the firing shot from Hitler and the National Socialists, leading to the beginning of

227
00:25:37,300 --> 00:25:44,100
the war. But few will recognize that this order was in response to the declaration of war on Germany

228
00:25:44,100 --> 00:25:50,580
just days before. It is this fact that prevents many people worldwide from understanding the real

229
00:25:50,580 --> 00:25:57,940
series of events that would lead to the devastation soon to follow. The boycott and response harshly

230
00:25:57,940 --> 00:26:04,900
affected global trade, and according to author Edwin Black, cut German exports by 10 percent and that

231
00:26:04,900 --> 00:26:10,980
some countries were seizing German assets. Months later, in Amsterdam, the World Jewish Economic

232
00:26:10,980 --> 00:26:17,460
Federation organized and employed worldwide boycotts and political strategies, serving as president,

233
00:26:17,460 --> 00:26:25,220
New York attorney Samuel Untermeyer. Germany, been converted from a nation of culture into a veritable hell

234
00:26:25,220 --> 00:26:32,260
of cruel and savage beasts. We owe it not only to our persecuted brethren, but to the entire world,

235
00:26:32,260 --> 00:26:38,020
to now strike in self-defense, a blow that will free humanity from a repetition of this incredible

236
00:26:38,020 --> 00:26:44,740
outrage. Now or never must all the nations of the earth make common cause against the slaughter,

237
00:26:44,740 --> 00:26:52,900
starvation, and annihilation, fiendish torture, cruelty, and persecution that are being inflicted day by day

238
00:26:52,900 --> 00:27:00,260
upon these men, women, and children. When the tale is told, the world will confront a picture so fearful

239
00:27:00,260 --> 00:27:07,860
in its barbarous cruelty that the hell of war and the alleged Belgian atrocities pale into insignificance

240
00:27:07,860 --> 00:27:16,020
as compared to this devilishly, deliberately, cold-bloodedly planned, and already partially executed

241
00:27:16,020 --> 00:27:24,580
campaign for the extermination of a proud, gentle, loyal, law-abiding people. The Jews are the aristocrats of

242
00:27:24,580 --> 00:27:30,980
their world. From time immemorial, they have been persecuted and have seen their persecutors come and

243
00:27:30,980 --> 00:27:38,500
go. They alone have survived. And so will history repeat itself. But that furnishes no reason why we

244
00:27:38,500 --> 00:27:46,100
should permit this reversion of a once great nation to the dark ages or fail to rescue these 600,000 human

245
00:27:46,100 --> 00:27:52,340
souls from the tortures of hell. What we are proposing, and have already gone far toward doing,

246
00:27:52,340 --> 00:27:59,220
is to prosecute a purely defensive economic boycott that will undermine the Hitler regime and bring the

247
00:27:59,220 --> 00:28:06,740
German people to their senses by destroying their export trade on which their very existence depends.

248
00:28:06,740 --> 00:28:13,940
We propose to and are organizing world opinion to express itself in the only way Germany can be made to understand.

249
00:28:13,940 --> 00:28:21,460
The Hitler regime originated and are fiendishly prosecuting their boycott to exterminate the Jews

250
00:28:21,460 --> 00:28:28,340
by placarding Jewish shops, warning Germans against dealing with them, by imprisoning Jewish shopkeepers,

251
00:28:28,340 --> 00:28:34,260
and parading them through the streets by the hundreds under guard of Nazi troops for the sole crime of being

252
00:28:34,260 --> 00:28:41,060
Jews, by ejecting them from the learned professions in which many of them had attained eminence, by excluding

253
00:28:41,060 --> 00:28:46,740
their children from the schools, their men from the labor unions, closing against them every avenue of

254
00:28:46,740 --> 00:28:52,820
livelihood, locking them in vile concentration camps, and starving and torturing them, without cause,

255
00:28:52,820 --> 00:29:00,100
and resorting to every other conceivable form of torture, inhuman beyond conception, until suicide has

256
00:29:00,100 --> 00:29:07,060
become their only means of escape, and all solely because they are, or their remote ancestors were,

257
00:29:07,060 --> 00:29:11,140
Jews, and all with the avowed object of exterminating them.

258
00:29:13,540 --> 00:29:18,580
What the world did not know at the time was that the international Zionists and the national

259
00:29:18,580 --> 00:29:28,580
socialists would be quietly cooperating in an agreement to send Jews to Palestine.

260
00:29:28,580 --> 00:29:37,060
Live on Channel 5, this is the 10 O'Clock News with Deborah Norville.

261
00:29:37,060 --> 00:29:43,460
Coming out revealing secret negotiation between the Nazis and the Zionists in 1933, which allowed

262
00:29:43,460 --> 00:29:48,660
German Jews and their assets to go to Palestine. Rich Samuels joins us tonight with the story of the

263
00:29:48,660 --> 00:29:52,980
controversy behind the book, and the author's struggle to write it. Rich?

264
00:29:52,980 --> 00:29:57,620
Deborah, with the rise of Adolf Hitler to power in the spring of 1933, the Jews of the world were

265
00:29:57,620 --> 00:30:03,220
faced with a dilemma. They could raise a cry of protest, a cry few would heed, or they could make

266
00:30:03,220 --> 00:30:08,580
a deal with Hitler, a deal that would bring a step closer their dream of an independent Jewish state.

267
00:30:08,580 --> 00:30:14,340
The choice they made was difficult and agonizing. This new book describes that choice. The book is called

268
00:30:14,340 --> 00:30:20,900
The Transfer Agreement. About the Holocaust. Edwin Black, to fill the void left by the silence of his

269
00:30:20,900 --> 00:30:26,340
parents, has written this book. A dense, detailed chronicle of the early months of 1933.

270
00:30:29,860 --> 00:30:36,020
January 30th, 1933. Hitler becomes Germany's interim chancellor. The Third Reich has begun.

271
00:30:36,020 --> 00:30:46,340
But in this country, on March 4th, attention is diverted by the inauguration of Franklin Delano

272
00:30:46,340 --> 00:30:53,220
Roosevelt. More power to you, President Roosevelt. The entire country's behind you, drilled with hope

273
00:30:53,220 --> 00:30:59,300
and patriotism. But ominous headlines tell what's already happening to the Jews of Germany.

274
00:31:00,020 --> 00:31:03,460
The protest of American Jews was heard almost immediately.

275
00:31:03,460 --> 00:31:06,180
It was based on only the sparsest of press reports.

276
00:31:06,180 --> 00:31:11,300
Thousands who waited hours behind police lines rushed forward as the doors of Madison Square Garden

277
00:31:11,300 --> 00:31:16,900
are open. Jews and Gentiles joined in the race for seats, and 22,000 of them get in.

278
00:31:16,900 --> 00:31:23,380
I was a young kid then, you see, as a teenager. And I belonged to a Zionist youth group.

279
00:31:24,580 --> 00:31:27,300
And we were all summoned to go to that rally.

280
00:31:27,300 --> 00:31:39,700
Well, it was a very agitated crowd. Many Yiddish-speaking, a few English-speaking. And

281
00:31:41,620 --> 00:31:50,180
Rabbi Wise mounted an appeal to the Jewish people to do something to save Jewish honor.

282
00:31:50,180 --> 00:31:56,420
The conscience of Nazi Germany made itself felt five days later. Five days later.

283
00:31:58,100 --> 00:32:03,860
At the time of Hitler's rise, Zionists were but a small minority of Germany's Jews.

284
00:32:03,860 --> 00:32:10,500
Jews made up only 0.76% of the population, or roughly half a million. One of the most prominent

285
00:32:10,500 --> 00:32:16,340
Jewish voices at the time was that of the non-Zionist Central Union of German Citizens of the Jewish

286
00:32:16,340 --> 00:32:23,460
faith. This organization produced a resolution in April of 1921 and concluded it with the words,

287
00:32:23,460 --> 00:32:29,380
If the work for settlement in Palestine were nothing more than a task of aid and assistance,

288
00:32:29,380 --> 00:32:34,740
then from the point of view of the Sencha Al-Varim, nothing would be said against the promotion of this

289
00:32:34,740 --> 00:32:41,780
work. However, the settlement in Palestine is in the first place an object of national Jewish policy,

290
00:32:41,780 --> 00:32:48,900
and hence its promotion and support should be rejected. In a 1930 edition of Sedeutsche Monatschefte,

291
00:32:48,900 --> 00:32:50,740
Gerhard Hodheim wrote,

292
00:32:50,740 --> 00:32:57,780
The Zionist program encompasses the conception of a homogenous, indivisible Jewry on a national basis.

293
00:32:57,780 --> 00:33:05,140
The criterion for Jewry is hence not a confession of religion, but the all-embracing sense of belonging

294
00:33:05,140 --> 00:33:11,460
to a racial community that is bound together by ties of blood and history and which is determined to

295
00:33:11,460 --> 00:33:17,220
keep its national individuality. Head of the National Socialist Office of Foreign Affairs,

296
00:33:17,220 --> 00:33:23,300
Alfred Rosenberg, agreed. Zionism must be vigorously supported so that a certain

297
00:33:23,300 --> 00:33:29,300
number of German Jews is transported annually to Palestine, or at least made to leave the country.

298
00:33:30,020 --> 00:33:35,300
Many liberal Jews felt that the Zionists were also stabbing them in the back by stirring up more

299
00:33:35,300 --> 00:33:42,180
anti-Semitism. But the Zionists saw this as an opportune moment. Hitler's influence was only growing,

300
00:33:42,180 --> 00:33:47,700
and the idea of stripping Jews of their citizenship, as well as removing them from all public office,

301
00:33:47,700 --> 00:33:51,220
was a reality that would be the push they needed towards Palestine.

302
00:33:51,780 --> 00:33:57,380
German-American and Vice Chairman of the World Jewish Congress, Rabbi Dr. Joachim Prince,

303
00:33:57,380 --> 00:34:02,340
called Hitler's rise to power the beginning of the Jews' return to this Judaism.

304
00:34:02,340 --> 00:34:07,460
No hiding place hides us any longer. Instead of assimilation, we wish for the recognition of

305
00:34:07,460 --> 00:34:12,500
the Jewish nation and the Jewish race. Years later, while protesting for civil rights for

306
00:34:12,500 --> 00:34:17,220
blacks in the United States, Prince spoke directly before Martin Luther King's famous

307
00:34:17,220 --> 00:34:22,660
I Have a Dream speech. By the beginning of April, Jewish stores began to be ransacked,

308
00:34:22,660 --> 00:34:28,820
and Germany's universities removed over 2,000 Jewish scientists. Not a word said by the Zionist

309
00:34:28,820 --> 00:34:35,140
Congress, which would meet later that summer. April 18, the German Student Union announces

310
00:34:35,140 --> 00:34:41,940
nationwide action against the un-German spirit. On the same day, the Student Union released their

311
00:34:41,940 --> 00:34:49,780
12 theses, symbolic of Martin Luther's 95 theses and burning of the Papal Bull. These 12 theses

312
00:34:49,780 --> 00:34:55,300
called for the establishment of a national German language and the elimination of Jewish influence in

313
00:34:55,300 --> 00:35:01,700
the universities. May 6, the German Student Union raids the library of Magnus Hirschfeld's

314
00:35:01,700 --> 00:35:08,740
Institute of Sexual Research, covered in episode 4. Books, journals, and films about homosexuality,

315
00:35:08,740 --> 00:35:15,380
transsexuality, and various records of abortions, sex reassignment surgeries, and other perversions

316
00:35:15,380 --> 00:35:22,100
were destroyed. A few days later on May 10, more than 25,000 books were burned in the square of

317
00:35:22,100 --> 00:35:28,740
the state opera Bebelplatz, named for famed German socialist August Bebel, a gentile sympathetic to

318
00:35:28,740 --> 00:35:35,220
the Jewish, gay, and minority cause. Bebel was a follower of Marxist Wilhelm Liebknecht, father of Karl

319
00:35:35,220 --> 00:35:41,780
Liebknecht, founder of the German Communist Party and Spartacusbund, along with Marxist Rosa Luxemburg.

320
00:35:41,780 --> 00:35:55,220
We have not only the dangerous, we have also the dangerous problems. We have not been scared of the world-Judentum

321
00:35:55,220 --> 00:36:05,780
the grip of the southern West-Westernest in Germany. We have the Jews out of the public life.

322
00:36:05,780 --> 00:36:17,780
We have not been scared of the world-Judentum. We have not been scared of the German nation to represent.

323
00:36:17,780 --> 00:36:21,780
We have not been scared of the German nation to represent.

324
00:36:21,780 --> 00:36:22,780
.

325
00:36:22,780 --> 00:36:25,500
Let us look at the Gadget appearance, where we look here..

326
00:36:25,500 --> 00:36:33,780
Did you look for Jews over Jews! Jews behind Hosewell, Michelle as their

327
00:36:33,780 --> 00:36:37,700
reibticles! And Jews behind Churchill as their

328
00:36:37,700 --> 00:36:42,660
Alaph, Jews as the rage and anger in the entire English-American newspaper!

329
00:36:42,660 --> 00:36:49,660
Juden in the dark circles of the Kreml are the real defenders of the Bolshevism.

330
00:36:50,660 --> 00:36:55,660
The international Jew is the gift of the enemy coalition,

331
00:36:55,660 --> 00:37:02,660
the worst of his world-famous relationships between Moscow, London and Washington.

332
00:37:03,660 --> 00:37:07,660
We stand here to the most dangerous enemy of the world.

333
00:37:07,660 --> 00:37:13,660
From him the war goes out, he leads him from the background,

334
00:37:14,660 --> 00:37:17,660
but he is not unadventful.

335
00:37:18,660 --> 00:37:23,660
We have fought against this terrorist Jewish world in the inner of our country

336
00:37:24,660 --> 00:37:27,660
14 years under the unrighteous circumstances.

337
00:37:28,660 --> 00:37:32,660
As we have brought him into the inner to fall,

338
00:37:32,660 --> 00:37:36,660
so we will have his power, which is afraid of outside.

339
00:37:37,660 --> 00:37:38,660
To die!

340
00:37:39,660 --> 00:37:42,660
Just a year before, in May of 1932,

341
00:37:43,660 --> 00:37:49,660
the establishment of anti-fascistist action became the news circulation of the anti-fascists, or Antifa,

342
00:37:50,660 --> 00:37:54,660
a communist-minded militant organization that had risen up out of the Weimar era,

343
00:37:54,660 --> 00:37:57,660
an offshoot of the Communist Party, or KPD.

344
00:37:58,660 --> 00:38:04,660
Led by Ernst Talman, the KPD were Stalinists, or Soviet loyalists, controlled by Comintern.

345
00:38:05,660 --> 00:38:09,660
After Talman's official John Wittorf was found to be stealing funds from the KPD,

346
00:38:10,660 --> 00:38:16,660
Talman attempted a cover-up, but was later removed, only to have Stalin himself intervene and reinstate him.

347
00:38:17,660 --> 00:38:21,660
That same year, Talman was the party's presidential candidate, receiving less than half the votes of Hitler.

348
00:38:21,660 --> 00:38:28,660
Talman called for the KPD and the Social Democratic Party to organize a strike to remove Hitler.

349
00:38:29,660 --> 00:38:32,660
After an unsuccessful attempt, he then called for violent overthrow.

350
00:38:33,660 --> 00:38:39,660
This, amongst a host of other things, led to the next year's worth of fighting between German National Socialists and Antifa.

351
00:38:40,660 --> 00:38:43,660
Talman was arrested in March of 1933 and imprisoned.

352
00:38:44,660 --> 00:38:46,660
He later declared that he had been severely whipped.

353
00:38:46,660 --> 00:38:52,660
He spent 11 years in solitary confinement and was executed in Buchenwald in August of 1944.

354
00:38:53,660 --> 00:38:58,660
Others arrested were members of the Rotter Front Kampfverbund, or Alliance of Red Front Fighters,

355
00:38:59,660 --> 00:39:01,660
and other communist militant groups coming out of Weimar.

356
00:39:02,660 --> 00:39:05,660
These groups often engaged in violence with police and political rivals.

357
00:39:06,660 --> 00:39:09,660
These would be some of the first arrested and incarcerated by the Germans,

358
00:39:09,660 --> 00:39:16,660
whose anger was directly aimed at these communists that they believed had cost them the previous war, and millions of lives.

359
00:39:17,660 --> 00:39:24,660
Those who avoided capture escaped and joined foreign communist militant groups like Centuria, Talman, or the International Brigades,

360
00:39:25,660 --> 00:39:29,660
who were involved with Comintern to influence the Spanish Republic during the Spanish Civil War.

361
00:39:29,660 --> 00:39:33,660
Their fight with the Nazis were soon to officially begin again.

362
00:39:34,660 --> 00:39:39,660
While many of these splinter groups fought, or at least claimed to fight fascism, the Zionists did not.

363
00:39:39,660 --> 00:39:46,660
On the 1st of March 1933, the SA occupied Central Vorrain and shut it down.

364
00:39:47,660 --> 00:39:51,660
The National Socialists would also ban groups like the new Zionist organizations,

365
00:39:52,660 --> 00:39:56,660
such as the Reichs League of Jewish Veterans and the Union of National German Jews,

366
00:39:57,660 --> 00:40:05,660
both nationalist groups, a curious move that allowed for the Zionist position to flourish in what was otherwise a non-Zionist Jewish community.

367
00:40:05,660 --> 00:40:13,660
The Reich deputation of German Jews convened in the fall of 1933, involving most major German Jewish groups.

368
00:40:14,660 --> 00:40:23,660
At its head, Dr. Rabbi Leo Beck, a reformist Jew, respected by conservatives, liberals, Orthodox Zionists, and non-Zionists,

369
00:40:24,660 --> 00:40:28,660
which worked as an advantage to the Zionists, who now could reach the nation of Jewry.

370
00:40:29,660 --> 00:40:31,660
This union took place with little to no interference from the state.

371
00:40:31,660 --> 00:40:35,660
In fact, the National Socialist Party allowed all kinds of political activity.

372
00:40:36,660 --> 00:40:40,660
A statement from the Bavarian political police in July of 1935 noted,

373
00:40:40,660 --> 00:40:46,660
The Zionist organizations have for some time been collecting donations from their members and sympathizers,

374
00:40:47,660 --> 00:40:53,660
with the intention of promoting immigration, the buying of land in Palestine, and the gaining of support for settlement in Palestine.

375
00:40:54,660 --> 00:40:58,660
These collections do not require government permission, as they are held in closed Jewish circles.

376
00:40:59,660 --> 00:41:03,660
Moreover, on the part of the state police, there is no objection against these arranged meetings,

377
00:41:03,660 --> 00:41:08,660
since they deal with such funds as are meant to promote the practical solution of the Jewish problem.

378
00:41:09,660 --> 00:41:16,660
Most of this Zionist propaganda, in particular the Judi Shrunshaal, operated under the eye of the Ministry of Propaganda,

379
00:41:17,660 --> 00:41:20,660
while Social Democratic and Communist publications were banned.

380
00:41:20,660 --> 00:41:29,660
Jerusalem correspondent for the Alamein Zeitung, Winfried Martini, commented that of all the papers,

381
00:41:30,660 --> 00:41:34,660
it was the Jewish press which held freedoms that the non-Jewish publications did not,

382
00:41:35,660 --> 00:41:39,660
adding that the Jewish periodical, Judi Shrunshaal, the largest Jewish periodical in Germany,

383
00:41:39,660 --> 00:41:45,660
often featured pieces that were highly critical of the Nazis, without fear of being banned,

384
00:41:46,660 --> 00:41:48,660
leading to an upward growth of the paper during this time.

385
00:41:49,660 --> 00:41:54,660
According to Martini, this led to a steady conversion to Zionism, even by way of criticizing fascism.

386
00:41:55,660 --> 00:41:59,660
The Judi Shrunshaal was co-edited by Hungarian-Jewish journalist Robert Welch,

387
00:42:00,660 --> 00:42:03,660
long-time correspondent for Haaretz, friend of Albert Einstein,

388
00:42:03,660 --> 00:42:08,660
and whose cousin Felix Welch was a close friend of Arthur Franz Kafka.

389
00:42:09,660 --> 00:42:13,660
Their stance on the Jewish boycott, although not in direct support of the Jews,

390
00:42:14,660 --> 00:42:15,660
appeared to affirm their Zionist positions.

391
00:42:16,660 --> 00:42:22,660
The fatal error of many Jews, that one can represent Jewish interests under another cloak, is removed.

392
00:42:23,660 --> 00:42:28,660
In fact, Zionist publications were permitted to operate well into the late 1930s,

393
00:42:28,660 --> 00:42:32,660
like Judisch Verlag and Schöken Verlag in Berlin.

394
00:42:33,660 --> 00:42:39,660
A few years before, in 1929, an association of second-generation farmers in the Mashavot of Palestine

395
00:42:40,660 --> 00:42:45,660
was forming a movement to promote their economic, social, security, and cultural interests.

396
00:42:46,660 --> 00:42:49,660
Their funding provided by the B'nai Binyamin Cooperative Bank,

397
00:42:50,660 --> 00:42:53,660
which had opened only a few years before that, in 1924,

398
00:42:53,660 --> 00:42:56,660
and released a publication of their own in the same year.

399
00:42:57,660 --> 00:42:59,660
This movement became known as the B'nai Binyamin Movement.

400
00:43:00,660 --> 00:43:04,660
Romanian author and activist Alexander Aronshon became their president.

401
00:43:05,660 --> 00:43:11,660
His brother and sister, Aaron and Sarah, were founders of the Jewish espionage network known as NILI,

402
00:43:12,660 --> 00:43:18,660
which aided the United Kingdom against the Ottoman Empire in Palestine from 1915 to 1917.

403
00:43:18,660 --> 00:43:26,660
NEILI stands for Netza Yisrael Law Yeshaka, or The Eternal One of Israel Will Not Lie.

404
00:43:27,660 --> 00:43:28,660
They were arrested and tortured.

405
00:43:29,660 --> 00:43:30,660
Sarah committed suicide days after.

406
00:43:31,660 --> 00:43:35,660
B'nai Binyamin was a name of tribute to Jewish lawyer, activist,

407
00:43:35,660 --> 00:43:38,660
father of modern political Zionism, and banker.

408
00:43:38,660 --> 00:43:40,660
Benjamin Ze'ev, or Theodor Herzl.

409
00:43:41,660 --> 00:43:45,660
Hebron Abraham Edmund Benjamin, or Edmund James de Rothschild,

410
00:43:46,660 --> 00:43:49,660
later financed the first site at Rishon Le Zion.

411
00:43:50,660 --> 00:43:54,660
He also established the Palestine Jewish Colonization Association, or PICA.

412
00:43:55,660 --> 00:43:59,660
Funding and support for B'nai Binyamin came from the USA as well.

413
00:43:59,660 --> 00:44:04,660
Nathan Strauss, of Abraham and Strauss and R.H. Macy and Company, was a prominent member,

414
00:44:05,660 --> 00:44:08,660
and is the namesake for the Israeli city of Netanya.

415
00:44:09,660 --> 00:44:12,660
The Strauss family had earned their fortune from crockery and glassware,

416
00:44:13,660 --> 00:44:15,660
and owned slaves until they defeated the Confederacy.

417
00:44:16,660 --> 00:44:19,660
Nathan donated much of his life to Zionism and health issues in Palestine,

418
00:44:20,660 --> 00:44:22,660
and had served as President of the Board of Health,

419
00:44:23,660 --> 00:44:26,660
and Commissioner of the Department of Health, and Parks Commissioner in New York City.

420
00:44:26,660 --> 00:44:32,660
Backed by B'nai Binyamin, a Jewish citrus company based in Netanya, called Hanotea,

421
00:44:33,660 --> 00:44:35,660
negotiated agreements with the Reich's economic ministry.

422
00:44:36,660 --> 00:44:39,660
Jewish bank accounts frozen by the Reich would be unblocked,

423
00:44:40,660 --> 00:44:45,660
on the condition that funds would be used by Hanotea to purchase German agricultural goods,

424
00:44:46,660 --> 00:44:49,660
which were struggling worldwide due to the international Jewish boycott.

425
00:44:50,660 --> 00:44:53,660
The goods and the account owners would be transferred to Palestine,

426
00:44:53,660 --> 00:44:57,660
where groups like B'nai Binyamin and Strauss had funded settlements.

427
00:44:58,660 --> 00:45:02,660
Across the Reich, Hitler's troops shut down Jewish-owned businesses for 24 hours.

428
00:45:03,660 --> 00:45:08,660
Within days, American Jews marched, calling for the boycott of all German exports.

429
00:45:09,660 --> 00:45:12,660
Jews throughout Europe echoed that call, so did Jews everywhere.

430
00:45:12,660 --> 00:45:17,660
But a group of Zionists at the same time was quietly negotiating an agreement with the Nazis,

431
00:45:18,660 --> 00:45:22,660
to allow the immigration of German Jews and the transfer of their assets to Palestine.

432
00:45:23,660 --> 00:45:27,660
That deal, reported in August 1933, was the transfer agreement.

433
00:45:28,660 --> 00:45:32,660
Palestine, sparsely settled by Jews at the time, was radically changed as a result.

434
00:45:32,660 --> 00:45:43,660
I lived in Palestine from 1933 to 1936, and we saw every week transports of German Jews coming to settle in Palestine.

435
00:45:44,660 --> 00:45:56,660
Many new professions were introduced by them into the country, and they played a leading role in making Palestine then a more advanced and progressive country.

436
00:45:56,660 --> 00:46:16,660
Israel is really what it is because of the foundation laid by the Eastern European group, and then the lift toward an educated and well-organized government that came with the immigration of the German Jewish group.

437
00:46:16,660 --> 00:46:24,660
Signed on August 25, 1933, the Havar Agreement acted much like the Hanotea Agreement.

438
00:46:25,660 --> 00:46:31,660
The Anglo-Palestine Bank, under the direction of the Jewish Agency, facilitated the immigration of German Jews to Palestine.

439
00:46:32,660 --> 00:46:39,660
In giving up their goods to Germany before departure, the assets would be sent forward to Palestine as German exports.

440
00:46:39,660 --> 00:46:48,660
Head of the Jewish Agency and main proponent of the Havar Agreement, Chaim Arlosarov, from the northern Ukrainian obelist of Romney.

441
00:46:49,660 --> 00:46:56,660
Arlosarov was a socialist, an editor of D-Arbit, or The Labour, and author of the treaties, Jewish People's Socialism.

442
00:46:57,660 --> 00:47:06,660
He believed in ancient biblical agricultural tradition, such as the Sabbath year and the year of Jubilee, and his treaties led to a resurgence of the Hebrew language.

443
00:47:06,660 --> 00:47:14,660
He and close friend, Jewish scientist Chaim Weisman, worked with the British Mandatory Government in creating a Jewish national home.

444
00:47:15,660 --> 00:47:22,660
April 8, 1933, Arlosarov organizes a meeting between Jewish Zionists and Arab leaders of Transjordan,

445
00:47:23,660 --> 00:47:28,660
angering more radical Arabs who had criticized Jordan's leader, Emir Abdullah I.

446
00:47:28,660 --> 00:47:37,660
Abdullah's father had been part of the McMahon-Hussein correspondence, covered in episode 4, which later led to the Arab revolt against the Ottomans.

447
00:47:38,660 --> 00:47:47,660
Abdullah was friendly to Wiseman, Ben-Gurion, and Zionism, and was often seen as a key figure in resolving disputes amongst Arab leaders.

448
00:47:47,660 --> 00:47:55,660
He preferred the idea of a Jewish state to the nationalist Arab Zion Amin al-Husseini, a direct descendant of Muhammad.

449
00:47:56,660 --> 00:48:03,660
He was appointed the top Sunni cleric position of Grand Mufti in 1921 by British High Commissioner of Jerusalem, Herbert Samuel,

450
00:48:03,660 --> 00:48:12,660
a position he used to promote Islam and Arab nationalism over Zionism, a position given to him by a Jew.

451
00:48:13,660 --> 00:48:20,660
Jews were also opposed to this meeting, in particular, the religious Zionist Mizrahi, who demanded that Arlosarov resign.

452
00:48:20,660 --> 00:48:29,660
When the Germans responded with their Jewish boycott in April of 1933, many Jews were unable to leave without a special exit visa.

453
00:48:29,660 --> 00:48:38,660
Arlosarov worked with High Commissioner and Zionist sympathizer, Arthur Wakko, to gain access to supplementary exit visas.

454
00:48:39,660 --> 00:48:44,660
The Havar agreement is rarely discussed in universities because it depicts a very different relationship history,

455
00:48:45,660 --> 00:48:53,660
one of economic cooperation between anti-fascist forces and the Reich during the time of a worldwide boycott of the very same Reich.

456
00:48:53,660 --> 00:49:01,660
However, many Jewish groups refused to participate, either because many Jewish firms happened to be the business agents of German enterprises,

457
00:49:02,660 --> 00:49:09,660
or because some Jewish organizations, namely those in the United States, took up the position that it was unpatriotic,

458
00:49:10,660 --> 00:49:14,660
to organize a boycott against a country with whom one's country maintained normal trade relations.

459
00:49:14,660 --> 00:49:22,660
This may have been true, but the fact remains, it was the Zionists who were the first to break their own boycott.

460
00:49:23,660 --> 00:49:30,660
And had this fact been known worldwide, it most certainly would have painted the German regime in a much different light.

461
00:49:31,660 --> 00:49:40,660
As Director General of the Anglo-Palestine Bank, Dutch Zionist Eliezer Siegfried Hufien prepared the monetary system and issued currency.

462
00:49:40,660 --> 00:49:47,660
The Havar agreement is often referred to as the Hufien agreement, and many of these agreements worked much like the Hanotea.

463
00:49:48,660 --> 00:49:51,660
From Klaus Paul came the secret contacts.

464
00:49:52,660 --> 00:49:58,660
The Hanotea bought the German goods that it required, paying for them from the German bank accounts of Jewish emigrants.

465
00:49:59,660 --> 00:50:04,660
The emigrants then left Germany and received the equivalent value of the payments in real estate.

466
00:50:04,660 --> 00:50:09,660
In the words of lawyer and Prussian advisor, Dr. Kurt Balkaduri.

467
00:50:10,660 --> 00:50:16,660
The Havar agreement was concluded in the form of a letter addressed to Herr Hufien by the Reich Ministry of the Economy.

468
00:50:17,660 --> 00:50:22,660
The negotiations were carried out in a smooth way as the Nazis were at the time still Zionist inclined.

469
00:50:22,660 --> 00:50:31,660
This agreement resulted in the formation of two companies, Havara Company in Tel Aviv and Paltrow in Berlin.

470
00:50:32,660 --> 00:50:38,660
The Jewish emigrant would pay a sum of roughly £1,000 sterling into a German Havara account,

471
00:50:38,660 --> 00:50:44,660
either at Wasserman Bank in Berlin, founded by Bavarian Jewish merchant scion Oscar Wasserman,

472
00:50:45,660 --> 00:50:50,660
also a founder and president of Keren Hayesad or the Palestine Foundation Fund,

473
00:50:51,660 --> 00:50:54,660
the major finance arm of the World Zionist Organization.

474
00:50:55,660 --> 00:50:59,660
Wasserman was a Federal Reserve member, along with partner from Kuhn & Loben Company, Felix Warburg,

475
00:51:00,660 --> 00:51:02,660
whose bank handled the Jewish emigrant funds as well.

476
00:51:02,660 --> 00:51:09,660
Ultimately, the transfer of over 60,000 Jews and well over $100 million in wealth

477
00:51:10,660 --> 00:51:13,660
made their way to the British mandate of Palestine,

478
00:51:14,660 --> 00:51:19,660
a fact rarely taught in schools and a controversial topic even amongst prominent Jews at the time,

479
00:51:20,660 --> 00:51:25,660
such as Abba Hillel Silver, an American Jewish Congress president, Rabbi Stephen Wise,

480
00:51:26,660 --> 00:51:31,660
who was leading much of the anti-German boycott movement and rattling the sabers of war.

481
00:51:32,660 --> 00:51:35,660
Hitler demanded one concession for the transfer agreement,

482
00:51:36,660 --> 00:51:41,660
that the call for a boycott of the Reich raised by Jews here and elsewhere be rejected by the Zionists.

483
00:51:42,660 --> 00:51:43,660
The Zionists made that concession.

484
00:51:46,660 --> 00:51:48,660
And so, while Nazis were marching in Germany,

485
00:51:51,660 --> 00:51:55,660
and while Jews were marching here, diplomacy was running a more important story.

486
00:51:55,660 --> 00:52:02,660
In the Mediterranean, where the dream of a nation-state for Jewish people came a step closer to reality.

487
00:52:03,660 --> 00:52:05,660
The story in this book some will find hard to accept.

488
00:52:05,660 --> 00:52:11,660
On June 16, 1933, the leader of the Jewish agency,

489
00:52:12,660 --> 00:52:13,660
Kayyem Arlesorov, was killed,

490
00:52:14,660 --> 00:52:17,660
two days after returning from negotiations with Germany,

491
00:52:18,660 --> 00:52:20,660
irritating relations with Zionists even further.

492
00:52:21,660 --> 00:52:23,660
A Russian-Jewish revisionist and supporter of

493
00:52:23,660 --> 00:52:28,660
Ze'ev Jabotinsky's Revisionist Opposition Party was charged with the plotting of the murder.

494
00:52:28,660 --> 00:52:30,660
Two others were charged with the actual murder,

495
00:52:31,660 --> 00:52:33,660
which is a subject of multiple theories.

496
00:52:34,660 --> 00:52:37,660
Abraham Stavsky and Ze'evi Rosenblatt Stavsky were convicted,

497
00:52:38,660 --> 00:52:42,660
but after outspoken support from Chief Rabbi of Palestine, Rav Cook,

498
00:52:43,660 --> 00:52:44,660
his conviction was overturned.

499
00:52:45,660 --> 00:52:47,660
Cook's influence also reached America,

500
00:52:47,660 --> 00:52:53,660
when he traveled there in 1924 with Rabbi Moshe Mordecai Epstein of the Slavodka Yeshiva,

501
00:52:54,660 --> 00:52:56,660
one of the highest schools of study for Talmud.

502
00:52:57,660 --> 00:52:58,660
After Stavsky's conviction,

503
00:52:59,660 --> 00:53:02,660
he went on to work with the Zionist paramilitary organization Irgun,

504
00:53:03,660 --> 00:53:07,660
and was later killed during an exchange with IDF forces in the Atalena Affair,

505
00:53:08,660 --> 00:53:11,660
fifteen years and five days after Arlesorov's murder,

506
00:53:12,660 --> 00:53:15,660
and only fifty yards from Arlesorov's murder location.

507
00:53:15,660 --> 00:53:20,660
Police commissioner and former head of the Arms Procurement Department for Mossad al-Aliabet,

508
00:53:21,660 --> 00:53:24,660
Yakura Arazi, otherwise known as Joseph Tannenbaum,

509
00:53:25,660 --> 00:53:26,660
was the investigating officer,

510
00:53:27,660 --> 00:53:32,660
a man with years of experience himself smuggling arms for the Haganah into Palestine from Europe,

511
00:53:33,660 --> 00:53:38,660
and who would later be investigated for his involvement in the 1946 ambush of Al-Aliabet vessels,

512
00:53:39,660 --> 00:53:40,660
known as the La Spitze Affair.

513
00:53:41,660 --> 00:53:43,660
Arazi contended that Stavsky did not kill Arlesorov,

514
00:53:43,660 --> 00:53:46,660
despite the clear identification of him.

515
00:53:47,660 --> 00:53:49,660
Instead, Arazi declared that Arabs had done it.

516
00:53:50,660 --> 00:53:53,660
Jabotinsky demanded a search for the said Arabs,

517
00:53:54,660 --> 00:53:57,660
only to be accused of German collaboration by David Ben-Gurion,

518
00:53:58,660 --> 00:53:59,660
who later founded the State of Israel.

519
00:53:59,660 --> 00:54:06,660
Zionists created their own shipping and passenger lines by purchasing the Hochstein and naming it the Tel Aviv,

520
00:54:07,660 --> 00:54:09,660
and later establishing the American-Palestine line.

521
00:54:10,660 --> 00:54:12,660
The line's president, Jacob S. Strahl,

522
00:54:13,660 --> 00:54:16,660
municipal judge and first chairman of the American Jewish Congress,

523
00:54:17,660 --> 00:54:21,660
and the man responsible for introducing Karen Hayasag to the United States.

524
00:54:21,660 --> 00:54:27,660
The Tel Aviv bore Hebrew letters on the stern and flew the swastika at the mast.

525
00:54:27,660 --> 00:54:28,660
One passenger wrote,

526
00:54:29,660 --> 00:54:32,660
The captain of the ship leading was a registered member of the Nazi party.

527
00:54:32,660 --> 00:54:36,660
The Haavara agreement worked against the boycott,

528
00:54:36,660 --> 00:54:41,660
and allowed the German economy a market at a time when they had been experiencing economic ruin.

529
00:54:42,660 --> 00:54:45,660
In Palestine, there was essentially no German boycott,

530
00:54:46,660 --> 00:54:48,660
while the rest of the world, especially world Jewry,

531
00:54:49,660 --> 00:54:51,660
had fought so hard to stifle German exports.

532
00:54:51,660 --> 00:54:54,660
This led to an expanded audience to Zionism,

533
00:54:54,660 --> 00:54:57,660
and assured that founding immigrants would be more well-off,

534
00:54:58,660 --> 00:55:01,660
as only the elite could afford the 1,000 sterling.

535
00:55:02,660 --> 00:55:04,660
In Palestine, a massive economic boom occurred,

536
00:55:05,660 --> 00:55:08,660
while working-class German Jews would be left to their own devices.

537
00:55:09,660 --> 00:55:11,660
Dr. Carl Landon, Dr. Arnold Barth,

538
00:55:12,660 --> 00:55:14,660
Herbert Forder, and more poured into Palestine,

539
00:55:15,660 --> 00:55:17,660
bringing big industry, oil prospecting,

540
00:55:17,660 --> 00:55:20,660
cement, electricity, the Noemi Bank,

541
00:55:20,660 --> 00:55:22,660
all on approval from the Reich.

542
00:55:23,660 --> 00:55:27,660
A prospect that many in the National Socialist regime would regret.

543
00:55:28,660 --> 00:55:31,660
The main advantages of the Haavara agreement are the following.

544
00:55:32,660 --> 00:55:34,660
The influence of the Haavara group in Palestine

545
00:55:34,660 --> 00:55:37,660
has led to the unusual but hoped-for contingency,

546
00:55:38,660 --> 00:55:40,660
wherein, of all places, Palestine is the country

547
00:55:41,660 --> 00:55:44,660
in which German goods are not boycotted by the Jewish side.

548
00:55:44,660 --> 00:55:48,660
There is no doubt that the Haavara procedure

549
00:55:48,660 --> 00:55:50,660
has made the greatest contribution

550
00:55:51,660 --> 00:55:53,660
to the tremendously rapid building of Palestine.

551
00:55:54,660 --> 00:55:58,660
However, these concerns were not shared by the SS or Gestapo,

552
00:55:59,660 --> 00:56:00,660
nor did they appear to be by Hitler.

553
00:56:01,660 --> 00:56:02,660
An initiative should be undertaken

554
00:56:03,660 --> 00:56:06,660
for the overdue cancellation of the Haavara agreement.

555
00:56:07,660 --> 00:56:10,660
Hitler stated that the Haavara agreement would continue.

556
00:56:11,660 --> 00:56:12,660
His stance would remain,

557
00:56:12,660 --> 00:56:15,660
despite the objection of numerous party officials.

558
00:56:15,660 --> 00:56:18,660
According to Swiss-Jewish journalist John Kimch,

559
00:56:19,660 --> 00:56:21,660
Hitler, with unambiguous determination,

560
00:56:22,660 --> 00:56:25,660
ordered the promotion of mass immigration to Palestine.

561
00:56:26,660 --> 00:56:29,660
Jewish emigration should be further promoted by all available means.

562
00:56:30,660 --> 00:56:32,660
There can thus be no question about the Fuhrer's opinion

563
00:56:33,660 --> 00:56:36,660
that such emigration should be above all channeled towards Palestine.

564
00:56:36,660 --> 00:56:41,660
Winfried Martini wrote that the reports were rather clearly favorable to the Jewish side.

565
00:56:42,660 --> 00:56:45,660
Hitler thus remained the guarantor of the Haavara transfer,

566
00:56:46,660 --> 00:56:49,660
which was only halted at the outbreak of the Second World War.

567
00:56:49,660 --> 00:56:58,660
Like many Zionists, Dr. Kurt Tückler, a German-Jewish judge and member of the Zionist Federation,

568
00:56:59,660 --> 00:57:00,660
saw opportunity in the emigration process.

569
00:57:01,660 --> 00:57:04,660
He enlisted the help of Leopold von Mildenstein,

570
00:57:05,660 --> 00:57:09,660
a writer and SS officer in charge of the Jewish desk and security service,

571
00:57:10,660 --> 00:57:11,660
known for his flair for journalism.

572
00:57:11,660 --> 00:57:14,660
The two traveled to Israel with their wives,

573
00:57:14,660 --> 00:57:18,660
in an effort to create a travel story that would influence others to move there.

574
00:57:18,660 --> 00:57:21,660
He described the agriculture, the draining of the swamps,

575
00:57:22,660 --> 00:57:23,660
and the Zionist way of life.

576
00:57:24,660 --> 00:57:27,660
Joseph Goebbels was pleased with Mildenstein's narrative

577
00:57:28,660 --> 00:57:32,660
and even published 12 articles from him in Der Angriff, or The Attack.

578
00:57:33,660 --> 00:57:38,660
As part of this project, a series of small brass coins featuring the seal of Solomon

579
00:57:38,660 --> 00:57:39,660
and the caption,

580
00:57:41,660 --> 00:57:45,660
The other side features a swastika, with the newspaper's name Angriff.

581
00:57:46,660 --> 00:57:51,660
The coins were used as a promotion, a free gift, to anyone who purchased a subscription.

582
00:57:52,660 --> 00:57:56,660
A Nazi travels to Palestine received little to no public scrutiny.

583
00:57:57,660 --> 00:57:58,660
According to Martini, Mildenstein was

584
00:57:59,660 --> 00:58:01,660
directly advised by the Zionist officials.

585
00:58:02,660 --> 00:58:05,660
Mildenstein's appointment was likely no accident either,

586
00:58:05,660 --> 00:58:09,660
as his department was what later became the internal secret service.

587
00:58:10,660 --> 00:58:17,660
As his publication Das Wort Shekar, which regularly condemned Jews, Catholicism, and Freemasonry, printed,

588
00:58:18,660 --> 00:58:24,660
The time may not be far distant when Palestine once again receives the sons whom it lost a thousand years ago.

589
00:58:25,660 --> 00:58:28,660
Our wishes, along with the goodwill of the state, accompany them.

590
00:58:28,660 --> 00:58:34,660
This quote shows even further that the pro-Zionist stance was not unique to von Mildenstein,

591
00:58:35,660 --> 00:58:38,660
but largely funded and endorsed by the Reich.

592
00:58:39,660 --> 00:58:43,660
Beyond Mildenstein, Zionist leaders continue to advise German intelligence,

593
00:58:44,660 --> 00:58:47,660
with little information more than that known to the public.

594
00:58:47,660 --> 00:58:54,660
One of the few documents is a memorandum from Professor Franz Six, dated June 17, 1937.

595
00:58:55,660 --> 00:58:58,660
It is simply marked, Secret Matter for the Command.

596
00:58:59,660 --> 00:59:03,660
It contained information on a visit from Zionist emissary, Fievel Polks,

597
00:59:04,660 --> 00:59:07,660
after his travels to Berlin in early 1937.

598
00:59:07,660 --> 00:59:13,660
Like von Mildenstein, Six was a member of the Nazi Party, and a member of the SD,

599
00:59:14,660 --> 00:59:17,660
the intelligence agency of the SS and Nazi Party.

600
00:59:18,660 --> 00:59:22,660
He was expected to be the next commander, and would have been in charge of the famed Black Book,

601
00:59:23,660 --> 00:59:27,660
or special search list Great Britain obtained, full of names to be arrested,

602
00:59:27,660 --> 00:59:33,660
including politicians and celebrities like Winston Churchill, Sigmund Freud, Bertrand Russell,

603
00:59:34,660 --> 00:59:37,660
and bankers like Bernard Baruch, a New York agent for the Rothschilds.

604
00:59:38,660 --> 00:59:43,660
A separate list included groups such as Freemasons, Jehovah's Witnesses, and the Boy Scouts.

605
00:59:44,660 --> 00:59:48,660
He was sentenced to 20 years at Nuremberg, but released a few years later.

606
00:59:49,660 --> 00:59:52,660
Not one Zionist appeared eager to expose him.

607
00:59:52,660 --> 00:59:57,660
He went on to work for the Geland Organization, which later became the Internal Secret Service.

608
00:59:58,660 --> 01:00:02,660
Later retired, and worked as an ad executive for Porsche.

609
01:00:03,660 --> 01:00:07,660
On February 4, 1936, a man named David Frankfurter

610
01:00:08,660 --> 01:00:13,660
assassinated a prominent member of the Nazi Party, Wilhelm Gustloff, in Switzerland.

611
01:00:14,660 --> 01:00:17,660
Frankfurter turned himself in, and stated that he acted alone,

612
01:00:18,660 --> 01:00:21,660
to the disbelief of the Nazis, who assumed he was working with a larger group.

613
01:00:22,660 --> 01:00:26,660
They enlisted the help of an agent, of Haganah, Five of Polks,

614
01:00:27,660 --> 01:00:30,660
who promised to help lead to the organization responsible for the murder of Gustloff.

615
01:00:31,660 --> 01:00:39,660
This aid became a working relationship, which led to Polks eventually bringing SS-Untersturmfuhrer Adolf Eichmann to Palestine.

616
01:00:40,660 --> 01:00:45,660
Polks had been recommended to the Reich by Dr. Franz Reichardt of the German New Bureau.

617
01:00:46,660 --> 01:00:49,660
The interview was conducted by Eichmann and recorded by Six.

618
01:00:49,660 --> 01:00:56,660
Polks stated that he was willing to assist Germany, as long as it did not conflict with his Zionist views.

619
01:00:57,660 --> 01:01:04,660
He stated that he knew who was behind Gustloff's murder, and that he could help the Germans in obtaining oil from the Middle East.

620
01:01:04,660 --> 01:01:12,660
The Nazi Jewish department wanted information on murder threats and plans from a group known as the Alliance Israelite Universelle,

621
01:01:13,660 --> 01:01:19,660
a largely Freemasonic group formed after the fall of the Second French Empire by Freemason Adolf Cremieux.

622
01:01:20,660 --> 01:01:23,660
Polks would receive regular payments of 1,000 Reichmarks.

623
01:01:23,660 --> 01:01:30,660
Nazi intelligence seemed more interested in preventing assassination than preventing movements towards Palestine.

624
01:01:31,660 --> 01:01:40,660
Polks met again with the SS, this time in Haifa, with SS-Sturmbannführer Herbert Hagen under the guise of being journalists, but were expelled to Cairo.

625
01:01:41,660 --> 01:01:46,660
Eichmann was captured by Israelis in Argentina in 1960 and stood trial.

626
01:01:46,660 --> 01:01:49,660
He was executed in 1962.

627
01:01:49,660 --> 01:01:56,660
Polks' archives, which were held at Jerusalem's Yad Vashem Holocaust Center, have not been released because of fear of embarrassment,

628
01:01:57,660 --> 01:02:03,660
according to Trotskyist writer Lenny Brenner, who tried to access them as stated in his book, 51 Documents.

629
01:02:03,660 --> 01:02:10,660
Hagen succeeded Mildenstein as director of the Juden Referat, and he claimed in his papers that Polks held

630
01:02:11,660 --> 01:02:15,660
leadership of the whole self-defense apparatus of the Palestinian Jews.

631
01:02:16,660 --> 01:02:26,660
As for Officer Leopold von Mildenstein, a 1956 CIA report from Cairo confirmed that he had been working for the Egyptian government of Gamal Abdel Nasser,

632
01:02:26,660 --> 01:02:33,660
the one to nationalize the Suez Canal, sparking the Israeli invasion known as the Suez Crisis.

633
01:02:34,660 --> 01:02:41,660
Mildenstein was working on a radio show called Voice of the Arabs and had become one of the biggest broadcasters in the Middle East.

634
01:02:42,660 --> 01:02:49,660
By June of 1960, when Eichmann was captured by Mossad, Mildenstein revealed that he had also been working with the CIA

635
01:02:49,660 --> 01:02:55,660
and claimed immunity from prosecutions. The CIA would neither confirm nor deny.

636
01:02:56,660 --> 01:03:04,660
In 2011, Israeli director Arnon Goldfinger, along with a grandson of Dr. Kurt Tückler, created a documentary entitled The Flat.

637
01:03:05,660 --> 01:03:13,660
Goldfinger says that Mildenstein joined the Ministry of Propaganda under Joseph Goebbels and even worked for Coca-Cola in West Germany.

638
01:03:13,660 --> 01:03:20,660
There was concern in the Reich that a Jewish homeland in Palestine would create for Germany a new enemy,

639
01:03:21,660 --> 01:03:24,660
one that would have a deep influence on developments in the Near East.

640
01:03:25,660 --> 01:03:31,660
Other agencies warned that a Jewish state would work to bring special minority protection to every Jew in every country,

641
01:03:32,660 --> 01:03:36,660
therefore giving legal protection to the exploitation activity of world Jewry.

642
01:03:36,660 --> 01:03:45,660
Hitler's foreign minister, Joachim von Ribbentrop, called it dangerous, adding that it would bring an international increase in power to world Jewry.

643
01:03:46,660 --> 01:03:49,660
Despite personally reviewing these warnings, Hitler proceeded.

644
01:03:50,660 --> 01:03:55,660
To Hitler, the idea of ridding Germany of its Jews far outweighed the risk.

645
01:03:56,660 --> 01:04:02,660
By 1937, the British government imposed more restrictions on Jewish immigration to Palestine.

646
01:04:02,660 --> 01:04:10,660
The SS responded by working with Zionist agency Mossad LaEliabet to smuggle Jews illegally into Palestine.

647
01:04:11,660 --> 01:04:15,660
The HaAvara agreement brought in untold millions into Palestine from Germany,

648
01:04:16,660 --> 01:04:19,660
but what it also achieved was a discerning mass migration.

649
01:04:20,660 --> 01:04:23,660
Only the wealthiest and most intelligent were able to migrate.

650
01:04:24,660 --> 01:04:31,660
Hitler reviewed the policy in 1937, again in 1938, each time maintaining the agreement.

651
01:04:32,660 --> 01:04:39,660
The Reich even contributed by organizing their own transfer company, the International Trade of Investment Agency, or Intria.

652
01:04:40,660 --> 01:04:44,660
But even this was managed from London by director Siegfried Moses.

653
01:04:45,660 --> 01:04:51,660
Dozens of companies, like HaAvara, tens of thousands of Jews, millions in wealth.

654
01:04:52,660 --> 01:04:53,660
Jewish historian Edwin Black.

655
01:04:53,660 --> 01:05:01,660
Many of these people, especially in the late 1930s, were allowed to transfer actual replicas of their homes and factories.

656
01:05:02,660 --> 01:05:05,660
Indeed, rough replicas of their very existence.

657
01:05:06,660 --> 01:05:13,660
By means of a transfer agreement, Hitler's Third Reich did more than any other government to support the Jewish transfer to Palestine.

658
01:05:13,660 --> 01:05:20,660
The Zionist revisionist writers and scholars often claimed that Eichmann was there to conspire with Arab rebels,

659
01:05:21,660 --> 01:05:24,660
and even meet with Grand Mufti Muhammad Amin al-Husseini.

660
01:05:25,660 --> 01:05:33,660
But this story came from Zionist Simon Weisenthal, writer and eventual member of the American Office of Strategic Services, or OSS.

661
01:05:33,660 --> 01:05:39,660
Weisenthal made the additional claim that Eichmann had a network of Palestinian agents.

662
01:05:40,660 --> 01:05:44,660
This version would show up in later years, like in Gerald Reitlinger's The Final Solution.

663
01:05:45,660 --> 01:05:52,660
Perhaps it was this crucial but conflicting narrative that led the Israelis to try Eichmann away from the public eye.

664
01:05:52,660 --> 01:06:04,660
The reports of Eichmann and Hagen's travels contain renderings of the conversations had with Polks, and not the Grand Mufti, on October 10th and 11th at Cairo's Café Gropi.

665
01:06:05,660 --> 01:06:14,660
Here, Polks explained that a Zionist state must be established by all means, adding that it should be in line with England's partial promises.

666
01:06:14,660 --> 01:06:18,660
Then the borders may be pushed further outwards, according to one's wishes.

667
01:06:19,660 --> 01:06:22,660
Polks went on to applaud Germany's anti-Semitic sentiment.

668
01:06:23,660 --> 01:06:28,660
Nationalist Jewish circles expressed their great joy over the radical German policy towards the Jews,

669
01:06:29,660 --> 01:06:32,660
as this policy would increase the Jewish population in Palestine,

670
01:06:33,660 --> 01:06:37,660
so that one can reckon with a Jewish minority in Palestine over the Arabs in the foreseeable future.

671
01:06:37,660 --> 01:06:45,660
According to Eichmann's report, the strategy was to arouse hostility amongst the fascists against the Arab nationalists,

672
01:06:46,660 --> 01:06:49,660
as the Pan-Islamic World Congress was set to occur in Berlin.

673
01:06:50,660 --> 01:06:55,660
The second point was to note that the main opponents of the fascists were the German communists,

674
01:06:56,660 --> 01:07:01,660
who had been broadcasting illegal communist propaganda from a lorry travelling along the German-Luxembourg border.

675
01:07:01,660 --> 01:07:09,660
After months of cooperation, Mossad had taken up operations in the House of the Reich Union, with the regime's permission.

676
01:07:10,660 --> 01:07:15,660
Pina Ginsberg and Moshe Auerbach were two agents that met with the Gestapo

677
01:07:16,660 --> 01:07:22,660
and arranged for the expansion of illegal immigration to Palestine, against the will of the British mandate.

678
01:07:22,660 --> 01:07:28,660
By the summer of 1938, Eichmann had the collaboration of Mossad and Bar Gilead,

679
01:07:29,660 --> 01:07:33,660
setting up training camps for immigrants to prepare for their work in Palestine.

680
01:07:34,660 --> 01:07:38,660
These Jews from Palestine spoke a language not totally different from that of Eichmann.

681
01:07:39,660 --> 01:07:42,660
They had been sent to Europe by the communal settlements in Palestine,

682
01:07:43,660 --> 01:07:44,660
and they were not interested in rescue operations.

683
01:07:45,660 --> 01:07:46,660
That was not their job.

684
01:07:46,660 --> 01:07:54,660
They wanted to select suitable material, and their chief enemies were not those who made life impossible for Jews in the old countries,

685
01:07:55,660 --> 01:07:58,660
Germany and Austria, but those who barred access to the new homeland.

686
01:07:59,660 --> 01:08:02,660
That enemy was definitely Britain, not Germany.

687
01:08:03,660 --> 01:08:07,660
They were probably among the first Jews to talk openly about mutual interests.

688
01:08:08,660 --> 01:08:14,660
While the Labour Party Zionists like Weizmann, Wise and Ben-Gurion secretly kept their contacts with fascists,

689
01:08:14,660 --> 01:08:21,660
the revisionist groups of Irgun and Leomi openly lauded them, all lining up to work with Hitler,

690
01:08:22,660 --> 01:08:25,660
while publicly denouncing their opponents of the very same thing.

691
01:08:26,660 --> 01:08:31,660
Italian dictator Benito Mussolini supported the revisionists and allowed them to train his navy.

692
01:08:32,660 --> 01:08:37,660
At one point, Jabotinsky suggested the mandate go to Italy because Mussolini would have been far more aggressive.

693
01:08:37,660 --> 01:08:43,660
Perhaps the most decisive piece of evidence for collaboration between the Third Reich and the Zionists

694
01:08:44,660 --> 01:08:52,660
is a memorandum from January 11, 1941, which reads as a proposal from the Irgun, offering Germany support as an ally.

695
01:08:53,660 --> 01:08:56,660
This extended into the military, involving Jewish manpower.

696
01:08:57,660 --> 01:09:03,660
Two years later, Irgun forces would be attacking British installations, weakening the anti-Hitler alliance.

697
01:09:03,660 --> 01:09:10,660
In June of 1938, 32 capitalist countries convened in the Swiss town of Evian to address the Jewish question.

698
01:09:11,660 --> 01:09:15,660
This was initiated by U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt.

699
01:09:16,660 --> 01:09:20,660
Israeli politician Golda Meir was allowed to attend, but was not permitted to speak.

700
01:09:21,660 --> 01:09:28,660
In the end, all countries decided not to take in any Jewish refugees apart from the Dominican Republic.

701
01:09:28,660 --> 01:09:39,660
It would seem logical that at a time when international Jewry was calling for worldwide boycotts and even war over the Germans' supposed mistreatment of the Jews,

702
01:09:40,660 --> 01:09:43,660
that the Zionist committee would pressure these nations to take them in,

703
01:09:44,660 --> 01:09:48,660
or that these 32 nations would see the impending danger for which this conference was called.

704
01:09:48,660 --> 01:09:56,660
Instead, the Zionist leaders tabled a motion for the admission of 1.2 million Jews to Palestine at the beginning of the conference.

705
01:09:57,660 --> 01:10:01,660
These leaders were only interested in the selective Jews, and if the danger were truly real,

706
01:10:02,660 --> 01:10:07,660
then the same Zionists are responsible for the failure to rescue a much greater number of Jews.

707
01:10:08,660 --> 01:10:11,660
They looked on the whole thing with indifferent hostility from the very beginning.

708
01:10:11,660 --> 01:10:18,660
The truth of the matter was that what was being attempted in Evian in no way conformed with the idea of Zionism.

709
01:10:19,660 --> 01:10:25,660
If Adolf Hitler were truly hell-bent on Jewish genocide, this was the ideal time to save them.

710
01:10:26,660 --> 01:10:28,660
Nearly 1.2 million of them.

711
01:10:29,660 --> 01:10:31,660
Thirty-two nations had this opportunity.

712
01:10:32,660 --> 01:10:33,660
Thirty-two declined.

713
01:10:34,660 --> 01:10:54,660
German cities will be subjected to an ordeal, the life of which has never been experienced.

714
01:10:55,660 --> 01:11:01,660
In my country, continuity, severity, or magnitude.

715
01:11:01,660 --> 01:11:10,660
To achieve its end, there are no lengths of violence to which we will not go.

716
01:11:11,660 --> 01:11:16,660
Most films, books, and articles, as well as academic lectures and material,

717
01:11:17,660 --> 01:11:23,660
offer the perspective that the beginning of the Second World War started with Adolf Hitler's invasion of Poland,

718
01:11:24,660 --> 01:11:29,660
an act of aggression, unprovoked, the beginning of Hitler's worldwide conquest.

719
01:11:29,660 --> 01:11:32,660
Historian Richard J. Evans wrote,

720
01:11:32,660 --> 01:11:38,660
In 1934, when Hitler had concluded a ten-year non-aggression pact with the Poles,

721
01:11:38,660 --> 01:11:44,660
it had seemed possible that Poland might become a satellite state in a future European order dominated by Germany.

722
01:11:45,660 --> 01:11:51,660
But by 1939, it had become a serious obstacle to the eastward expansion of the Third Reich.

723
01:11:51,660 --> 01:11:58,660
It, therefore, had to be wiped from the map and ruthlessly exploited to finance preparations for the coming war in the West.

724
01:11:58,660 --> 01:12:07,660
But if these same historians were willing to offer the perspective of the rest of the world, would this tale be told differently?

725
01:12:07,660 --> 01:12:15,660
March 30, 1939.

726
01:12:15,660 --> 01:12:22,660
Polish army officer and foreign minister, Josef Beck, who had been struggling to keep peace with not only Germany,

727
01:12:22,660 --> 01:12:30,660
but Lithuania and Czechoslovakia, was granted assurance from the British government that they would assist Poland as an ally in wartime

728
01:12:30,660 --> 01:12:33,660
if Poland felt a threat to their own independence.

729
01:12:33,660 --> 01:12:37,660
In the words of British Secretary Lord Halifax Neville Chamberlain,

730
01:12:37,660 --> 01:12:44,660
I now have to inform the House that in the event of any action which clearly threatened Polish independence

731
01:12:44,660 --> 01:12:49,660
and which the Polish government accordingly considered it vital to resist with their national forces,

732
01:12:49,660 --> 01:12:56,660
His Majesty's government would feel themselves bound at once to lend the Polish government all support in their power.

733
01:12:56,660 --> 01:13:00,660
They have given the Polish government an assurance to that effect.

734
01:13:00,660 --> 01:13:06,660
This assurance resulted in widespread violence against the German minorities in Poland

735
01:13:06,660 --> 01:13:15,660
and agitated the already contested Danzig and Corridor region from Hans Schadewald's Polish acts of atrocity against the German minority in Poland.

736
01:13:15,660 --> 01:13:23,660
The guarantee of assistance given Poland by the British government was the agent which lent impetus to Britain's policy of encirclement.

737
01:13:23,660 --> 01:13:34,660
It was designed to exploit the problem of Danzig and the corridor to begin a war desired and long prepared by England for the annihilation of greater Germany.

738
01:13:34,660 --> 01:13:41,660
In Warsaw, moderation was no longer considered necessary and the opinion held was that matters could be safely brought to a head.

739
01:13:41,660 --> 01:13:47,660
England was backing this diabolical game, having guaranteed the integrity of the Polish state.

740
01:13:47,660 --> 01:13:54,660
The British assurance of assistance meant that Poland was to be the battering ram of Germany's enemies.

741
01:13:54,660 --> 01:14:02,660
Henceforth, Poland neglected no form of provocation of Germany and, in its blindness, dreamt of victorious battle at Berlin's gates,

742
01:14:02,660 --> 01:14:12,660
had it not been for the encouragement of the English war clique, which was stiffening Poland's attitude towards the Reich and whose promises led Warsaw to feel safe.

743
01:14:12,660 --> 01:14:19,660
The Polish government would hardly have let matters develop to the point where Polish soldiers and civilians would eventually interpret the slogan

744
01:14:19,660 --> 01:14:27,660
to extirpate all German influence as an incitement to the murder and bestial mutilation of human beings.

745
01:14:27,660 --> 01:14:32,660
In 1939, there were more than one million ethnic Germans living in Poland.

746
01:14:32,660 --> 01:14:40,660
By August of that year, Polish authorities began a campaign of mass arrests, confiscating businesses and welfare institutions.

747
01:14:40,660 --> 01:14:46,660
Many of these Germans had already lost everything, including land, after the punishing Treaty of Versailles,

748
01:14:46,660 --> 01:14:52,660
which devastated Germany and, in this case, reduced their forces to a mere 100,000 soldiers.

749
01:14:52,660 --> 01:14:56,660
The Germans who were arrested were forced to march further inland.

750
01:14:56,660 --> 01:15:02,660
Due to the agreement with the British, the Polish would treat these Germans as hostages who were to be punished with impunity.

751
01:15:02,660 --> 01:15:04,660
Donald Day from the Chicago Tribune

752
01:15:04,660 --> 01:15:12,660
I traveled up to the Polish corridor where the German authorities permitted me to interview the German refugees from many Polish cities and towns.

753
01:15:12,660 --> 01:15:18,660
The story was the same. Mass arrests and long marches along roads towards the interior of Poland.

754
01:15:18,660 --> 01:15:23,660
The railroads were crowded with troop movements. Those who fell by the wayside were shot.

755
01:15:23,660 --> 01:15:26,660
The Polish authorities seemed to have gone mad.

756
01:15:26,660 --> 01:15:35,660
I have been questioning people all my life, and I think I know how to make deductions for the exaggerated stories told by people who have passed through harrowing personal experiences.

757
01:15:35,660 --> 01:15:39,660
But even with generous allowance, the situation was plenty bad.

758
01:15:39,660 --> 01:15:42,660
To me, the war seemed only a question of ours.

759
01:15:42,660 --> 01:15:49,660
More than 80,000 Germans forced to leave Poland, a home which had been theirs to begin with.

760
01:15:49,660 --> 01:16:00,660
British Ambassador Neville Henderson warned that war would be an inevitable conclusion if these atrocities didn't cease and if negotiations were unsuccessful.

761
01:16:00,660 --> 01:16:07,660
He also warned Halifax that a full-scale occupation of Danzig would be unwise and against Polish policy.

762
01:16:07,660 --> 01:16:14,660
What he did not know was that the policy of Halifax would require the destruction of Germany.

763
01:16:14,660 --> 01:16:19,660
Mr. Churchill had to explain to him what he wanted to do in the war.

764
01:16:19,660 --> 01:16:24,660
He began with the war in the space of the war, in which he seems to be very strong,

765
01:16:24,660 --> 01:16:27,660
in which he seems to be particularly strong,

766
01:16:27,660 --> 01:16:30,660
namely the air force against the civil society.

767
01:16:30,660 --> 01:16:33,660
However, under the motto of the war,

768
01:16:33,660 --> 01:16:36,660
he was called the war in the war.

769
01:16:36,660 --> 01:16:46,940
good I certainly love to all of these

770
01:16:46,940 --> 01:16:49,660
I told him trillionaires a few times

771
01:16:49,660 --> 01:16:50,660
of four years after the war.

772
01:16:50,660 --> 01:16:54,660
that this is the only answer is or will remain.

773
01:16:54,660 --> 01:16:59,660
We will now learn that this, our first answer,

774
01:16:59,660 --> 01:17:03,660
will be nameless suffering and suffering over people.

775
01:17:03,660 --> 01:17:05,660
Of course not the Herr Churchill,

776
01:17:05,660 --> 01:17:07,660
because he will then sit in Canada,

777
01:17:07,660 --> 01:17:10,660
where he will have the ability to bring the children

778
01:17:10,660 --> 01:17:13,660
before the greatest interest of people.

779
01:17:13,660 --> 01:17:16,660
But there will be millions of other people

780
01:17:16,660 --> 01:17:18,660
in great suffering.

781
01:17:18,660 --> 01:17:20,660
And Herr Churchill,

782
01:17:20,660 --> 01:17:22,660
you should believe in this time,

783
01:17:22,660 --> 01:17:24,660
if I speak as a prophet,

784
01:17:24,660 --> 01:17:25,660
as follows,

785
01:17:25,660 --> 01:17:28,660
that there will be a great world war.

786
01:17:28,660 --> 01:17:30,660
A world war,

787
01:17:30,660 --> 01:17:32,660
which will never be able to harm,

788
01:17:32,660 --> 01:17:35,660
but I am only aware of this,

789
01:17:35,660 --> 01:17:37,660
that the progress of this fight

790
01:17:37,660 --> 01:17:39,660
will only be in the same way

791
01:17:39,660 --> 01:17:41,660
of the one and the two fights end.

792
01:17:41,660 --> 01:17:43,660
Mr. Churchill will believe,

793
01:17:43,660 --> 01:17:45,660
I know it will be England.

794
01:17:45,660 --> 01:18:01,660
Many of these reports of violence against the Germans

795
01:18:01,660 --> 01:18:03,660
were considered simple propaganda.

796
01:18:03,660 --> 01:18:05,660
But Hitler was in a unique situation.

797
01:18:05,660 --> 01:18:07,660
If he did not act,

798
01:18:07,660 --> 01:18:10,660
the German citizens of Danzig would suffer.

799
01:18:10,660 --> 01:18:11,660
And if he did,

800
01:18:11,660 --> 01:18:14,660
it could start war with the French and the British.

801
01:18:14,660 --> 01:18:17,660
American historian Harry Elmer Barnes.

802
01:18:17,660 --> 01:18:21,660
It has now been irrefutably established on a documentary basis

803
01:18:21,660 --> 01:18:25,660
that Hitler was no more responsible for war in 1939

804
01:18:25,660 --> 01:18:28,660
than the Kaiser was in 1914,

805
01:18:28,660 --> 01:18:30,660
if indeed as responsible.

806
01:18:30,660 --> 01:18:34,660
Hitler's responsibility in 1939 was far less than that

807
01:18:34,660 --> 01:18:37,660
of Beck in Poland, Halifax in England,

808
01:18:37,660 --> 01:18:39,660
or even Daletier in France.

809
01:18:39,660 --> 01:18:41,660
Dutch historian, Louis de Jong,

810
01:18:41,660 --> 01:18:43,660
wrote about windows being smashed in homes,

811
01:18:43,660 --> 01:18:46,660
shops, embassies, and schools.

812
01:18:46,660 --> 01:18:48,660
Polish newspaper, Ilisteroni,

813
01:18:48,660 --> 01:18:52,660
even announced that Poland was instigating action against Germany.

814
01:18:52,660 --> 01:18:53,660
Another Polish publication,

815
01:18:53,660 --> 01:18:55,660
Kurie Polski,

816
01:18:55,660 --> 01:18:57,660
called for the destruction of Germany,

817
01:18:57,660 --> 01:18:59,660
even while negotiations were ongoing.

818
01:18:59,660 --> 01:19:01,660
These negotiations,

819
01:19:01,660 --> 01:19:03,660
led by Polish ambassador,

820
01:19:03,660 --> 01:19:04,660
Jarzy Potaki,

821
01:19:04,660 --> 01:19:08,660
were deteriorating as he failed to persuade Beck.

822
01:19:08,660 --> 01:19:11,660
Poland prefers Danzig to peace.

823
01:19:11,660 --> 01:19:14,660
Even British Royal Navy Captain Russell Grenfell

824
01:19:14,660 --> 01:19:18,660
was wary of Britain's unconditional support for Poland.

825
01:19:18,660 --> 01:19:21,660
This would have worked out very awkwardly for Britain

826
01:19:21,660 --> 01:19:24,660
in the days when she was the challenging power,

827
01:19:24,660 --> 01:19:27,660
as for example against Spain in the 16th century,

828
01:19:27,660 --> 01:19:30,660
Holland in the 17th,

829
01:19:30,660 --> 01:19:33,660
and Spain and France in the 18th.

830
01:19:33,660 --> 01:19:35,660
He further wrote that the guarantee

831
01:19:35,660 --> 01:19:38,660
publicly dares a rival to ignore the guarantee

832
01:19:38,660 --> 01:19:40,660
and take away the consequences,

833
01:19:40,660 --> 01:19:42,660
after which it is hardly possible for that rival

834
01:19:42,660 --> 01:19:44,660
to endeavor to seek a peaceful solution

835
01:19:44,660 --> 01:19:47,660
of its dispute with the guaranteed country

836
01:19:47,660 --> 01:19:50,660
without appearing to be submitting to blackmail.

837
01:19:50,660 --> 01:19:52,660
Pictured is the written discharge

838
01:19:52,660 --> 01:19:55,660
of German Eugene Hoffman of Bromberg,

839
01:19:55,660 --> 01:19:58,660
who was imprisoned by Jewish-Polish commander Isidore Berger.

840
01:19:58,660 --> 01:20:00,660
This same discharge was received

841
01:20:00,660 --> 01:20:02,660
by all German minority prisoners

842
01:20:02,660 --> 01:20:05,660
to be released at the same time as Hoffman.

843
01:20:05,660 --> 01:20:07,660
However, on September 4,

844
01:20:07,660 --> 01:20:09,660
all except Hoffman were murdered,

845
01:20:09,660 --> 01:20:12,660
39 Germans killed and mutilated.

846
01:20:12,660 --> 01:20:14,660
Poland wants war with Germany,

847
01:20:14,660 --> 01:20:16,660
and Germany will not be able to avoid it,

848
01:20:16,660 --> 01:20:18,660
even if it wishes to do so.

849
01:20:18,660 --> 01:20:23,660
September 1, 1939.

850
01:20:23,660 --> 01:20:25,660
German forces intervened

851
01:20:25,660 --> 01:20:27,660
for a desperate German minority,

852
01:20:27,660 --> 01:20:29,660
crossing the border at Bromberg,

853
01:20:29,660 --> 01:20:32,660
which had been annexed to Poland after 1918.

854
01:20:32,660 --> 01:20:34,660
On September 3,

855
01:20:34,660 --> 01:20:37,660
England and France declared war on Germany.

856
01:20:37,660 --> 01:20:39,660
The Polish would be invaded two weeks later

857
01:20:39,660 --> 01:20:41,660
by forces from the USSR,

858
01:20:41,660 --> 01:20:44,660
yet no declaration was declared by either country

859
01:20:44,660 --> 01:20:46,660
or any of their allies.

860
01:20:46,660 --> 01:20:49,660
Poland, England and France wanted Germany,

861
01:20:49,660 --> 01:20:51,660
and now they had them.

862
01:20:51,660 --> 01:20:54,660
What followed was a complete genocidal slaughter

863
01:20:54,660 --> 01:20:56,660
on the German citizens of Bromberg.

864
01:20:56,660 --> 01:20:58,660
The Bromberg Bloody Sunday.

865
01:20:58,660 --> 01:21:00,660
Historians are quick to point out

866
01:21:00,660 --> 01:21:02,660
that this was a German act of aggression,

867
01:21:02,660 --> 01:21:05,660
German sniper fire on retreating soldiers,

868
01:21:05,660 --> 01:21:10,660
but historical context shows that Poland was doing anything but retreating,

869
01:21:10,660 --> 01:21:12,660
and the Germans were in no position to provoke.

870
01:21:12,660 --> 01:21:14,660
In and near Bromberg,

871
01:21:14,660 --> 01:21:19,660
thousands of Germans were hunted and killed by gangs of Poles.

872
01:21:19,660 --> 01:21:23,660
Even Polish priests were not only encouraging the extermination,

873
01:21:23,660 --> 01:21:25,660
but issuing weapons.

874
01:21:25,660 --> 01:21:28,660
Torture and mutilation across the city.

875
01:21:28,660 --> 01:21:30,660
Bodies lay about everywhere.

876
01:21:30,660 --> 01:21:32,660
Many of them still bound or shackled.

877
01:21:32,660 --> 01:21:36,660
Over 5,000 murdered, according to the official number.

878
01:21:36,660 --> 01:21:38,660
But some historians contend this figure.

879
01:21:38,660 --> 01:21:41,660
At the Protestant new cemetery in Bromberg alone,

880
01:21:41,660 --> 01:21:44,660
lay more than 900 Germans killed.

881
01:21:44,660 --> 01:21:49,660
The Central Graves Registry Office of Pozen estimates 15,000,

882
01:21:49,660 --> 01:21:52,660
same as Social Democratic publisher Otto Heike.

883
01:21:52,660 --> 01:21:55,660
All of this took place before the war,

884
01:21:55,660 --> 01:21:56,660
which was to come.

885
01:21:56,660 --> 01:21:58,660
A series of heinous atrocities.

886
01:21:58,660 --> 01:22:02,660
The Poles have lost the last feeling of moderation and proportion.

887
01:22:02,660 --> 01:22:05,660
Every foreigner who looks at the new maps in Poland,

888
01:22:05,660 --> 01:22:07,660
on which a large part of Germany,

889
01:22:07,660 --> 01:22:09,660
as far as the proximity of Berlin,

890
01:22:09,660 --> 01:22:12,660
as well as Bohemia, Moravia, and Slovakia,

891
01:22:12,660 --> 01:22:14,660
and a gigantic part of Russia,

892
01:22:14,660 --> 01:22:18,660
are already annexed in the quite fertile imagination of Poles,

893
01:22:18,660 --> 01:22:22,660
must think that Poland has become a gigantic lunatic asylum.

894
01:22:22,660 --> 01:22:24,660
The further you go into Poland,

895
01:22:24,660 --> 01:22:27,660
the more you find pillage and murder.

896
01:22:27,660 --> 01:22:33,660
This nation of peasants inclines to drink, quarrel, abuse, and murder.

897
01:22:33,660 --> 01:22:37,660
It would be hard to find so many murderers in any other nation.

898
01:22:37,660 --> 01:22:40,660
The minorities in Poland are to disappear,

899
01:22:40,660 --> 01:22:44,660
and it is Polish policy that they shall not disappear only on paper.

900
01:22:44,660 --> 01:22:47,660
This policy is being pushed forward ruthlessly

901
01:22:47,660 --> 01:22:50,660
and without the slightest regard for public opinion abroad,

902
01:22:50,660 --> 01:22:54,660
for international treaties, and for the League of Nations.

903
01:22:54,660 --> 01:22:57,660
The Ukraine, under Polish rule, is an inferno.

904
01:22:57,660 --> 01:23:00,660
White Russia is an even more hellish inferno.

905
01:23:00,660 --> 01:23:04,660
The purpose of Polish policy is the disappearance of the national minorities,

906
01:23:04,660 --> 01:23:06,660
both on paper and in reality.

907
01:23:06,660 --> 01:23:10,660
A wave of terror is sweeping Poland at this very moment.

908
01:23:10,660 --> 01:23:12,660
The press can hardly breathe a word because it is gagged.

909
01:23:12,660 --> 01:23:16,660
A police regime with all its horrors and its wild measures of oppression

910
01:23:16,660 --> 01:23:18,660
strangles the country.

911
01:23:18,660 --> 01:23:22,660
The prisons of the Republic today hold more than 3,000 political criminals

912
01:23:22,660 --> 01:23:24,660
who are maltreated by their jailers,

913
01:23:24,660 --> 01:23:27,660
humiliated and beaten up with belts and sticks.

914
01:23:27,660 --> 01:23:30,660
The lives they have to stand is such that in many prisons,

915
01:23:30,660 --> 01:23:34,660
the inmates prefer death to the slow torture inflicted upon them.

916
01:23:34,660 --> 01:23:37,660
The first victims of the war were Volksdeutsche,

917
01:23:37,660 --> 01:23:39,660
ethnic German civilians,

918
01:23:39,660 --> 01:23:41,660
residents in and citizens of Poland.

919
01:23:41,660 --> 01:23:43,660
Using lists prepared years earlier,

920
01:23:43,660 --> 01:23:46,660
in part by lower administrative offices,

921
01:23:46,660 --> 01:23:51,660
Poland immediately deported 15,000 Germans to eastern Poland.

922
01:23:51,660 --> 01:23:54,660
Fear and rage at the quick German victories led to hysteria.

923
01:23:54,660 --> 01:24:00,660
German spies were seen everywhere, suspected of forming a fifth column.

924
01:24:00,660 --> 01:24:05,660
More than 5,000 German civilians were murdered in the first days of the war.

925
01:24:05,660 --> 01:24:08,660
They were hostages and scapegoats at the same time.

926
01:24:08,660 --> 01:24:12,660
Gruesome scenes were played out in Bromberg on September 3rd,

927
01:24:12,660 --> 01:24:15,660
as well as in several other places throughout the province of Posen,

928
01:24:15,660 --> 01:24:19,660
in Pomerlen, wherever German minorities resided.

929
01:24:19,660 --> 01:24:22,660
In an effort to reach a peaceful solution,

930
01:24:22,660 --> 01:24:25,660
Hitler was prepared to rescind parts of Poland

931
01:24:25,660 --> 01:24:28,660
and restore sovereignty in Czechoslovakia.

932
01:24:28,660 --> 01:24:31,660
But his attempt was thwarted by Josef Stalin,

933
01:24:31,660 --> 01:24:33,660
by way of Vyacheslav Molotov,

934
01:24:33,660 --> 01:24:35,660
who had received information about the peace deal

935
01:24:35,660 --> 01:24:39,660
from German Minister of Foreign Affairs Joachim von Ribbentrop.

936
01:24:39,660 --> 01:24:40,660
They refused,

937
01:24:40,660 --> 01:24:44,660
and Hitler would abandon the idea of Polish statehood.

938
01:24:44,660 --> 01:24:46,660
They are equal to 64 toopic Germans,

939
01:24:46,660 --> 01:24:47,660
and hoards to operate ק frostbarn pate.

940
01:24:47,660 --> 01:24:49,660
They were the mostость of initially recognized nepricity.

941
01:24:49,660 --> 01:24:50,660
But he was a być,

942
01:24:50,660 --> 01:24:52,660
they had several helpless politics that hebben

943
01:24:52,660 --> 01:24:54,660
been oppressed by a half of the nearby month against Ivory,

944
01:24:54,660 --> 01:24:55,660
and Germany.

945
01:24:55,660 --> 01:24:58,660
Ye, that they have among the last few years

946
01:24:58,660 --> 01:24:59,700
of away when I met many other members who were seen

947
01:24:59,700 --> 01:25:00,660
from this Polish state theater,

948
01:25:00,660 --> 01:25:02,660
the dulu Deutschen state gathered by the Molotovants,

949
01:25:02,660 --> 01:25:04,660
and some secretares inmania humans had attacked,

950
01:25:04,660 --> 01:25:05,660
and some perpet Nestаков directly whatsoever,

951
01:25:05,660 --> 01:25:06,660
we should have Himми,

952
01:25:06,660 --> 01:25:07,660
we should have been aggressive,

953
01:25:07,660 --> 01:25:08,660
that maybe our people live here

954
01:25:08,660 --> 01:25:09,700
in the last few decades

955
01:25:09,700 --> 01:25:11,660
any of them soon as well as they have been condemned.

956
01:25:11,660 --> 01:25:12,660
Portugal In theします

957
01:25:12,660 --> 01:25:14,480
Jhz, Jhz, Jhz, Jhz!

958
01:25:14,480 --> 01:25:18,900
Das sind Dinge, die ich als Soldat des Weltkrieges ...

959
01:25:19,500 --> 01:25:23,320
... der ich nur im Westen gekämpft habe ...

960
01:25:23,320 --> 01:25:25,720
… nie kennenzulernen ...

961
01:25:26,300 --> 01:25:27,700
... Gelegenheit hatte.

962
01:25:30,180 --> 01:25:33,240
Tausende von niedergemetzelten Volksdeutschen, ...

963
01:25:33,720 --> 01:25:36,280
... physisch abgeschlachteten Frauen, ...

964
01:25:36,700 --> 01:25:38,240
... Mädchen und Kinder.

965
01:25:38,240 --> 01:25:46,300
Unzählige deutsche Soldaten und Offiziere, die als Verwundeten in die Hände dieses Gegners gefallen sind.

966
01:25:46,960 --> 01:25:50,940
Sie wurden massakriert, Augen ausgestochen, bestialisch verstümmelt.

967
01:25:53,700 --> 01:25:59,560
Und das Schlimmste, diese polnische Regierung hat das in ihrem eigenen Rundfunk ganz offen zugegeben.

968
01:25:59,560 --> 01:26:10,940
Es gab wirklich Momente, da man sich sagen musste, soll man unter diesen Umständen sich selbst nur irgendeine Beschränkung auflegen.

969
01:26:12,540 --> 01:26:22,020
Es ist mir nicht bekannt geworden, dass irgendeiner unserer demokratischen Staatsmänner es der Müll wertgefunden hat, gegen diese Barbareien zu protestieren.

970
01:26:22,020 --> 01:26:34,840
Zehntausende werden verschleppt, misshandelt, in der grausamsten Weise getötet, sadistische Bestien lassen ihre bewersenen Instinkte aus

971
01:26:34,840 --> 01:26:42,340
und diese demokratische, fromme Welt zieht zu, ohne mit einer Wimper zu zucken.

972
01:26:42,340 --> 01:26:52,140
Es war sehr schwer, sich hier in der Gewalt zu behalten.

973
01:26:53,280 --> 01:26:58,440
Ich möchte aber hier gleich betonen, man soll sich auch hier wieder nicht in den demokratischen Staaten einbilden,

974
01:26:58,740 --> 01:27:00,480
dass das ewig so sein muss.

975
01:27:02,280 --> 01:27:05,540
Wenn man nichts anderes haben will, dann kann man nichts noch anders haben.

976
01:27:05,540 --> 01:27:24,620
Even Neville Henderson, who had worked for peace at this time,

977
01:27:24,940 --> 01:27:27,540
would later claim that Hitler had initiated the violence,

978
01:27:27,940 --> 01:27:33,300
even though he had previously warned of the very atrocities that Hitler had been forced to stop.

979
01:27:33,300 --> 01:27:36,420
A narrative that continues to this day.

980
01:27:36,800 --> 01:27:39,600
A narrative that does tell of an event that same day,

981
01:27:39,960 --> 01:27:44,920
when passenger liner SS Athenia, heading for Canada from England, was sunk.

982
01:27:45,560 --> 01:27:55,220
On board, 500 Jewish, 469 Canadian, 311 American, 72 British, and 315 crew members.

983
01:27:55,540 --> 01:27:58,240
As the Athenia made their way off the Irish coast,

984
01:27:58,600 --> 01:28:01,040
they were spotted by the German submarine U-30.

985
01:28:01,040 --> 01:28:02,760
They were later fired upon.

986
01:28:03,300 --> 01:28:06,100
According to U-boat commander Fritz Julius Lemp,

987
01:28:06,320 --> 01:28:10,700
the boat had strayed from shipping lanes and was darkened, prompting the attack.

988
01:28:11,080 --> 01:28:15,420
Many were rescued, but 98 passengers and 19 crew members were killed

989
01:28:15,420 --> 01:28:18,580
by an explosion resulting from the fired torpedo.

990
01:28:19,240 --> 01:28:25,400
Three Royal Navy destroyers, HMS Elektra, HMS Escort, and HMS Fame,

991
01:28:25,700 --> 01:28:28,260
were the first on the scene to rescue passengers.

992
01:28:28,260 --> 01:28:30,560
The British blamed the Germans.

993
01:28:31,020 --> 01:28:34,800
Joseph Goebbels claimed that a bomb may have been planted by Churchill.

994
01:28:35,420 --> 01:28:37,880
With Britain and France now at war with Germany,

995
01:28:38,340 --> 01:28:41,680
it would have seemed unwise to needlessly attack a passenger liner,

996
01:28:42,060 --> 01:28:44,160
with three Royal Navy destroyers nearby.

997
01:28:44,840 --> 01:28:47,840
And although the media reported Goebbels' claim as ludicrous,

998
01:28:48,200 --> 01:28:50,480
the idea was actually a bit more plausible.

999
01:28:51,000 --> 01:28:53,440
Hitler was doing his best to avoid confrontation,

1000
01:28:53,440 --> 01:28:57,100
and had ordered U-boat commanders to abide by the prize regulations,

1001
01:28:57,460 --> 01:29:01,580
which forbade an attack like this, but did demand that these ships be searched.

1002
01:29:01,980 --> 01:29:07,360
If found to be containing war aid, the ships could be sunk and the crews could escape safely.

1003
01:29:07,840 --> 01:29:09,400
A much likelier scenario.

1004
01:29:10,140 --> 01:29:14,940
It would not be until the Nuremberg trials that a statement read by Admiral Karl Donitz

1005
01:29:14,940 --> 01:29:19,260
would claim that the attack was in error and that the Germans attempted to cover it up.

1006
01:29:19,260 --> 01:29:22,560
The U.S. had taken the public stance of neutrality,

1007
01:29:23,000 --> 01:29:25,640
while Germany maintained that the attack was sabotage,

1008
01:29:26,080 --> 01:29:28,800
meant to provoke America into joining the war effort,

1009
01:29:29,140 --> 01:29:31,100
seeing as 30 Americans had been killed.

1010
01:29:31,520 --> 01:29:34,560
The U.S. State Department requested that surviving passengers

1011
01:29:34,560 --> 01:29:37,700
submit affidavits detailing their experiences.

1012
01:29:38,280 --> 01:29:39,800
Most claimed that they saw nothing.

1013
01:29:40,280 --> 01:29:42,520
A few claimed that U-boats fired upon them.

1014
01:29:42,900 --> 01:29:45,460
But one passenger had a different perspective.

1015
01:29:45,460 --> 01:29:48,560
Gustav Andersson, from Evanston, Illinois,

1016
01:29:49,040 --> 01:29:54,300
a travel bureau operator who had traveled on the Athenia enough to know much of the crew by name.

1017
01:29:54,740 --> 01:29:59,860
His affidavit asserted that the liner was carrying defense materials and weapons to Canada

1018
01:29:59,860 --> 01:30:03,060
and was scheduled to be outfitted as a raider vessel.

1019
01:30:03,520 --> 01:30:06,720
Andersson swore under oath and was questioned by Congress,

1020
01:30:07,140 --> 01:30:09,880
stating that he had spoken with Athenia Chief Officer,

1021
01:30:10,140 --> 01:30:10,900
Barnett Copeland,

1022
01:30:10,900 --> 01:30:15,980
who had given him the information that the ship was to be used as an armed merchant cruiser.

1023
01:30:16,640 --> 01:30:19,240
Andersson said that the ship's decks had been reinforced

1024
01:30:19,240 --> 01:30:21,880
and that this was common knowledge amongst passengers,

1025
01:30:22,440 --> 01:30:24,140
a majority of them Jews.

1026
01:30:24,760 --> 01:30:28,000
Andersson went on to say that the Athenia was sunk by gunfire

1027
01:30:28,000 --> 01:30:31,440
from the British destroyers just before sunrise.

1028
01:30:32,100 --> 01:30:34,740
If the liner had indeed been carrying munitions,

1029
01:30:35,060 --> 01:30:37,960
it most certainly would have been a legitimate target for the Germans,

1030
01:30:37,960 --> 01:30:40,940
and even more importantly, avoided a war.

1031
01:30:41,420 --> 01:30:43,760
Chief Officer Copeland denied these claims.

1032
01:30:44,300 --> 01:30:48,640
Others would too, but not until after Andersson's story had reached the press.

1033
01:30:49,000 --> 01:30:52,260
The New York Times would be one of the first to offer a counter-narrative,

1034
01:30:52,620 --> 01:30:56,940
and a number of other affidavits appeared, now countering Andersson's recollection.

1035
01:30:57,320 --> 01:30:59,520
But public skepticism had reached overseas,

1036
01:31:00,000 --> 01:31:03,520
and only a month later, roughly 40% of Americans polled

1037
01:31:03,520 --> 01:31:06,680
were not convinced that Germany had committed the attack.

1038
01:31:06,680 --> 01:31:10,900
In the Army and Navy Journal, former President Herbert Hoover wrote,

1039
01:31:11,340 --> 01:31:12,940
The whole thing looks suspicious to me.

1040
01:31:13,360 --> 01:31:16,360
I cannot believe even the clumsy Germans would do such a thing.

1041
01:31:16,940 --> 01:31:19,720
Andersson went on to give numerous lectures of his account,

1042
01:31:20,180 --> 01:31:24,180
and the British spent a considerable amount of effort to dispel this very account.

1043
01:31:24,880 --> 01:31:28,620
This led many Americans to question why the British would go to such lengths

1044
01:31:28,620 --> 01:31:31,020
to silence or counter Andersson,

1045
01:31:31,300 --> 01:31:32,940
if the story were simply not true.

1046
01:31:32,940 --> 01:31:37,660
But American media would pursue story after story to the contrary.

1047
01:31:38,400 --> 01:31:43,120
As one of the rescue vessels, City of Flint, made their way to Halifax, Nova Scotia.

1048
01:31:43,600 --> 01:31:45,520
The ship's captain, Joseph Gaynard,

1049
01:31:45,940 --> 01:31:50,680
blocked Andersson's effort to make contact with the New York newspaper to give his account.

1050
01:31:51,140 --> 01:31:53,760
His version was largely told as sensational,

1051
01:31:53,760 --> 01:31:59,240
and later it was claimed that he had worked as a spy for Idaho Republican Senator William Bora,

1052
01:31:59,640 --> 01:32:01,580
a descendant of Catherine von Bora,

1053
01:32:01,920 --> 01:32:06,440
a man who rejected the Treaty of Versailles and the U.S. entry into the League of Nations.

1054
01:32:07,720 --> 01:32:13,180
Winston Churchill became the first Lord of the Admiralty on September 3rd, 1939,

1055
01:32:13,740 --> 01:32:17,560
the very same day as the mysterious sinking of the Athenia.

1056
01:32:17,560 --> 01:32:24,400
This was one of the basic problems that Churchill had in the war years,

1057
01:32:24,520 --> 01:32:27,320
persuading the Americans to come in and fight his war for him.

1058
01:32:27,660 --> 01:32:30,180
Because by 1940, it had become Churchill's war.

1059
01:32:30,520 --> 01:32:32,240
It was no longer concerned with Poland.

1060
01:32:32,560 --> 01:32:34,680
Poland was forgotten as soon as Poland was defeated.

1061
01:32:35,340 --> 01:32:39,220
The war by 1940 had become a matter of self-prolongation.

1062
01:32:39,220 --> 01:32:43,020
It had become important for Churchill's own political reign that the war continue.

1063
01:32:43,020 --> 01:32:47,900
In March of 1938, the Austrian banking baron,

1064
01:32:48,380 --> 01:32:52,780
Louis Nathaniel de Rothschild, was arrested at the airport in Aspern.

1065
01:32:53,100 --> 01:32:57,880
It was reported that he would be held until he made good of the losses of the Kreditanstalt,

1066
01:32:58,080 --> 01:32:59,800
which was the largest bank in Austria.

1067
01:33:00,400 --> 01:33:02,860
That is, until it failed in 1931.

1068
01:33:03,360 --> 01:33:04,600
Rothschild had been the president.

1069
01:33:04,980 --> 01:33:09,060
He was held on a $10 million ransom at the Hotel Metropole in Vienna.

1070
01:33:09,060 --> 01:33:12,740
Later, he was released after a payment of $21 million,

1071
01:33:13,380 --> 01:33:16,840
the largest ransom payment for any individual in history.

1072
01:33:17,480 --> 01:33:23,000
On the 6th of July, 1938, Winston Churchill expressed his anger at the arrest

1073
01:33:23,000 --> 01:33:27,080
and even lamented that Jewish ladies were being forced to clean the streets.

1074
01:33:27,420 --> 01:33:29,460
But his feelings about Germany were clear.

1075
01:33:30,020 --> 01:33:33,500
Germany's most unforgivable crime before the Second World War

1076
01:33:33,500 --> 01:33:38,140
was her attempt to extricate her economic power from the world's trading system

1077
01:33:38,140 --> 01:33:40,720
and to create her own exchange mechanism,

1078
01:33:41,120 --> 01:33:44,060
which would deny finance its opportunity to profit.

1079
01:33:44,940 --> 01:33:47,980
It was not a secret that Churchill wanted to agitate Germany

1080
01:33:47,980 --> 01:33:52,720
and had planned not only a Second, but a Third World War for years.

1081
01:33:53,280 --> 01:33:56,040
Much of this was stated in a collection of his own essays

1082
01:33:56,040 --> 01:34:00,880
entitled Step by Step, written from 1936 to 1939.

1083
01:34:01,820 --> 01:34:04,080
They suggest a hatred of European Renaissance

1084
01:34:04,080 --> 01:34:08,740
and a strong desire for an English, American, and Soviet alliance.

1085
01:34:09,260 --> 01:34:11,040
Churchill and his big banking associates

1086
01:34:11,040 --> 01:34:13,540
were more interested in their Far East investments,

1087
01:34:14,040 --> 01:34:16,740
which largely consisted of the opium and drug trade.

1088
01:34:17,300 --> 01:34:21,260
And he even mockingly stated that the influx of opium and missionaries

1089
01:34:21,260 --> 01:34:23,920
have done nothing but good for China.

1090
01:34:24,400 --> 01:34:26,340
Churchill was highly critical of the Jews,

1091
01:34:26,780 --> 01:34:29,540
but at the same time appeared to have a fondness for them.

1092
01:34:29,540 --> 01:34:33,780
Some close friends, such as Major General Sir Edward Louis Spears.

1093
01:34:34,220 --> 01:34:35,620
Even Winston had a fault.

1094
01:34:36,100 --> 01:34:37,720
He was too fond of the Jews.

1095
01:34:38,280 --> 01:34:41,220
Although Churchill had plenty of criticism for the Jewish people,

1096
01:34:41,660 --> 01:34:45,760
he seemed more interested in helping Jewish financiers get their war,

1097
01:34:46,120 --> 01:34:49,560
while at the same time destroying the resurging German economy

1098
01:34:49,560 --> 01:34:53,100
that was occurring under Hitler and the National Socialist regime.

1099
01:34:53,620 --> 01:34:56,200
He was keenly aware of who was responsible.

1100
01:34:56,200 --> 01:34:59,220
The same phenomenon has been presented in Germany,

1101
01:34:59,540 --> 01:35:02,100
so far as this madness has been allowed to prey upon

1102
01:35:02,100 --> 01:35:04,420
the temporary prostration of the German people.

1103
01:35:04,960 --> 01:35:08,020
Although in all these countries there are many non-Jews

1104
01:35:08,020 --> 01:35:11,180
every whit as bad as the worst of the Jewish revolutionaries,

1105
01:35:11,560 --> 01:35:15,400
the part played by the latter in proportion to their numbers is astonishing.

1106
01:35:16,060 --> 01:35:19,680
But Churchill's supposed love-hate relationship with the Jews

1107
01:35:19,680 --> 01:35:22,920
was a much more prolific one than meets the eye.

1108
01:35:26,200 --> 01:35:31,020
After all, my friends, only a few hours away by air,

1109
01:35:32,160 --> 01:35:34,680
there dwells a nation of nearly 70 millions

1110
01:35:34,680 --> 01:35:40,540
of the most educated, industrious, scientific, disciplined people in the world

1111
01:35:40,540 --> 01:35:43,620
who are being taught from childhood

1112
01:35:43,620 --> 01:35:46,620
to think of war as a glorious exercise

1113
01:35:46,620 --> 01:35:50,740
and death in battle as the noblest fate for man.

1114
01:35:51,800 --> 01:35:55,140
There is a nation which has abandoned all its liberties

1115
01:35:55,140 --> 01:35:58,340
in order to augment its collective strength.

1116
01:35:59,320 --> 01:36:03,640
There is a nation which with all its strength and virtue

1117
01:36:03,640 --> 01:36:07,080
is in the grip of a group of ruthless men

1118
01:36:07,080 --> 01:36:11,240
preaching a gospel of intolerance and racial pride

1119
01:36:11,240 --> 01:36:15,680
unrestrained by law, by parliament, or by public opinion.

1120
01:36:16,620 --> 01:36:18,920
In that country, all pacifist speeches,

1121
01:36:19,720 --> 01:36:23,380
all morbid war books, are forbidden or suppressed

1122
01:36:23,380 --> 01:36:26,140
and their authors rigorously imprisoned.

1123
01:36:26,140 --> 01:36:31,540
From their new table of commandments they have omitted

1124
01:36:31,540 --> 01:36:34,400
Thou shalt not kill

1125
01:36:34,400 --> 01:36:39,080
It is but 20 years since these neighbours of ours

1126
01:36:39,080 --> 01:36:41,380
fought almost the whole world

1127
01:36:41,380 --> 01:36:43,360
and almost defeated them

1128
01:36:43,360 --> 01:36:47,600
Now they are rearming with the utmost speed

1129
01:36:47,600 --> 01:36:53,520
And ready to their hands is this new lamentable weapon of the air

1130
01:36:53,520 --> 01:36:56,840
Against which our navy is no defence

1131
01:36:56,840 --> 01:37:00,260
And before which women and children

1132
01:37:00,260 --> 01:37:01,960
The weak and frail

1133
01:37:01,960 --> 01:37:04,040
The pacifist and the jingo

1134
01:37:04,040 --> 01:37:06,100
The warrior and the civilian

1135
01:37:06,100 --> 01:37:07,940
The front-line trenches

1136
01:37:07,940 --> 01:37:09,480
And the cottage home

1137
01:37:09,480 --> 01:37:14,040
All lie in equal and impartial peril

1138
01:37:14,040 --> 01:37:17,280
Nay, worse still

1139
01:37:17,280 --> 01:37:20,200
For with the new weapon had come a new method

1140
01:37:20,200 --> 01:37:22,580
Or rather had come back

1141
01:37:22,580 --> 01:37:26,100
The most brutish methods of ancient barbarism

1142
01:37:26,100 --> 01:37:28,300
Namely, the possibility

1143
01:37:28,300 --> 01:37:31,280
Of compelling the submission of races

1144
01:37:31,280 --> 01:37:35,860
By terrorising and torturing their civil population

1145
01:37:35,860 --> 01:37:38,400
And worst of all

1146
01:37:38,400 --> 01:37:41,120
The more civilised the country is

1147
01:37:41,120 --> 01:37:44,120
The larger and more splendid its city

1148
01:37:44,120 --> 01:37:46,420
The more intricate the structure

1149
01:37:46,420 --> 01:37:48,680
Of its social and economic life

1150
01:37:48,680 --> 01:37:50,780
The more is it vulnerable

1151
01:37:50,780 --> 01:37:53,300
The more is it at the mercy of those

1152
01:37:53,300 --> 01:37:54,840
Who may make it their prey

1153
01:37:54,840 --> 01:37:57,580
Now these are facts

1154
01:37:57,580 --> 01:38:01,420
Hard, grim, indisputable facts

1155
01:38:01,420 --> 01:38:04,080
And in face of these facts

1156
01:38:04,080 --> 01:38:05,200
I ask again

1157
01:38:05,200 --> 01:38:07,580
What are we to do?

1158
01:38:11,120 --> 01:38:13,400
The first political plan

1159
01:38:13,400 --> 01:38:15,480
For a Jewish homeland in Palestine

1160
01:38:15,480 --> 01:38:18,420
Was written by Colonel Charles Henry Churchill

1161
01:38:18,420 --> 01:38:20,280
In 1841

1162
01:38:20,280 --> 01:38:23,660
Fifty years before the father of Zionism

1163
01:38:23,660 --> 01:38:24,840
Theodore Herzl

1164
01:38:24,840 --> 01:38:26,080
Winston's father

1165
01:38:26,080 --> 01:38:27,500
Lord Randolph Churchill

1166
01:38:27,500 --> 01:38:28,760
Was often mocked

1167
01:38:28,760 --> 01:38:30,820
For his large Jewish circle of friends

1168
01:38:30,820 --> 01:38:32,300
Many of whom were part of

1169
01:38:32,300 --> 01:38:34,020
The Rothschild's banking dynasty

1170
01:38:34,020 --> 01:38:35,560
Jewish merchant banker

1171
01:38:35,560 --> 01:38:36,420
Ernest Cassell

1172
01:38:36,420 --> 01:38:38,380
Had managed Winston's finances

1173
01:38:38,380 --> 01:38:39,200
For his life

1174
01:38:39,200 --> 01:38:40,680
Free of charge

1175
01:38:40,680 --> 01:38:41,720
His mother

1176
01:38:41,720 --> 01:38:42,520
Jenny Jerome

1177
01:38:42,520 --> 01:38:43,680
Or Jacobson

1178
01:38:43,680 --> 01:38:45,520
Was from a wealthy Jewish family

1179
01:38:45,520 --> 01:38:46,580
Her father

1180
01:38:46,580 --> 01:38:47,780
Leonard Jerome

1181
01:38:47,780 --> 01:38:49,520
Change from Jacobson

1182
01:38:49,520 --> 01:38:51,380
Was a large Jewish shareholder

1183
01:38:51,380 --> 01:38:52,500
Of the New York Times

1184
01:38:52,500 --> 01:38:53,540
And at the time

1185
01:38:53,540 --> 01:38:55,580
Was known as the King of Wall Street

1186
01:38:55,580 --> 01:38:56,960
And a close friend

1187
01:38:56,960 --> 01:38:58,680
Of the prolific Vanderbilt family

1188
01:38:58,680 --> 01:39:00,660
Jenny was part Iroquois

1189
01:39:00,660 --> 01:39:02,000
And one of the first women

1190
01:39:02,000 --> 01:39:03,060
In elite society

1191
01:39:03,060 --> 01:39:04,320
To be tattooed

1192
01:39:04,320 --> 01:39:05,600
She had a snake

1193
01:39:05,600 --> 01:39:07,420
Coiled around her left wrist

1194
01:39:07,420 --> 01:39:08,940
Churchill benefited

1195
01:39:08,940 --> 01:39:09,920
From the generosity

1196
01:39:09,920 --> 01:39:11,060
Of rich Jews

1197
01:39:11,060 --> 01:39:12,680
Such as Sir Ernest Cassell

1198
01:39:12,680 --> 01:39:13,780
And even joked

1199
01:39:13,780 --> 01:39:15,320
About Sir Philip Sassoon

1200
01:39:15,320 --> 01:39:17,000
Being the restaurant car

1201
01:39:17,000 --> 01:39:18,240
Attached to his train

1202
01:39:18,240 --> 01:39:19,640
His sponging

1203
01:39:19,640 --> 01:39:21,480
Induced grotesque fantasies

1204
01:39:21,480 --> 01:39:22,680
That he was in the pay

1205
01:39:22,680 --> 01:39:24,060
Of international Jewry

1206
01:39:24,060 --> 01:39:25,860
In 1924

1207
01:39:25,860 --> 01:39:27,000
Churchill filed

1208
01:39:27,000 --> 01:39:27,860
A libel suit

1209
01:39:27,860 --> 01:39:29,280
Against Lord Alfred

1210
01:39:29,280 --> 01:39:30,780
Orbosi Douglas

1211
01:39:30,780 --> 01:39:31,700
Lecturer

1212
01:39:31,700 --> 01:39:32,500
Poet

1213
01:39:32,500 --> 01:39:33,800
Son of the Marquess

1214
01:39:33,800 --> 01:39:34,540
Of Queensbury

1215
01:39:34,540 --> 01:39:35,380
And lover

1216
01:39:35,380 --> 01:39:37,660
Of poet Oscar Wilde

1217
01:39:37,660 --> 01:39:38,520
Douglas claimed

1218
01:39:38,520 --> 01:39:39,140
That Churchill

1219
01:39:39,140 --> 01:39:40,340
Had falsified a report

1220
01:39:40,340 --> 01:39:41,400
On the naval battle

1221
01:39:41,400 --> 01:39:41,920
Of Jutland

1222
01:39:41,920 --> 01:39:43,180
In World War I

1223
01:39:43,180 --> 01:39:44,720
When the Royal Navy

1224
01:39:44,720 --> 01:39:46,360
Drove back German fleets

1225
01:39:46,360 --> 01:39:48,600
Churchill allegedly reported

1226
01:39:48,600 --> 01:39:49,800
That it was the British

1227
01:39:49,800 --> 01:39:50,940
Who had been defeated

1228
01:39:50,940 --> 01:39:53,020
So that British securities prices

1229
01:39:53,020 --> 01:39:53,720
Would drop

1230
01:39:53,720 --> 01:39:55,580
Allowing a select group

1231
01:39:55,580 --> 01:39:57,040
Of Jewish financiers

1232
01:39:57,040 --> 01:39:57,900
To buy them up

1233
01:39:57,900 --> 01:39:58,880
At cheap prices

1234
01:39:58,880 --> 01:40:00,380
And allowing Cassell

1235
01:40:00,380 --> 01:40:01,300
To make up

1236
01:40:01,300 --> 01:40:02,960
A $40 million profit

1237
01:40:02,960 --> 01:40:04,620
Both were cleared

1238
01:40:04,620 --> 01:40:06,100
Many suspected

1239
01:40:06,100 --> 01:40:06,660
That Winston

1240
01:40:06,660 --> 01:40:07,620
Was being controlled

1241
01:40:07,620 --> 01:40:09,160
By Lord Victor Rothschild

1242
01:40:09,160 --> 01:40:10,900
By way of Victor's friend

1243
01:40:10,900 --> 01:40:12,160
And Soviet spy

1244
01:40:12,160 --> 01:40:13,180
Guy Burgess

1245
01:40:13,180 --> 01:40:14,720
The reportedly gay

1246
01:40:14,720 --> 01:40:15,180
Churchill

1247
01:40:15,180 --> 01:40:16,440
Was quite fond

1248
01:40:16,440 --> 01:40:17,060
Of Burgess

1249
01:40:17,060 --> 01:40:18,060
Who frequented

1250
01:40:18,060 --> 01:40:18,920
Churchill's home

1251
01:40:18,920 --> 01:40:19,560
At Chartwell

1252
01:40:19,560 --> 01:40:21,000
Many suspected

1253
01:40:21,000 --> 01:40:21,960
That this was how

1254
01:40:21,960 --> 01:40:23,540
Winston was being influenced

1255
01:40:23,540 --> 01:40:24,960
As Burgess was earning

1256
01:40:24,960 --> 01:40:26,260
Nearly five times

1257
01:40:26,260 --> 01:40:27,400
What his contemporaries

1258
01:40:27,400 --> 01:40:27,780
Made

1259
01:40:27,780 --> 01:40:29,400
Burgess was recruited

1260
01:40:29,400 --> 01:40:30,540
As a Soviet agent

1261
01:40:30,540 --> 01:40:32,120
In 1934

1262
01:40:32,120 --> 01:40:33,680
And by the next year

1263
01:40:33,680 --> 01:40:35,660
The Anglo-German Fellowship

1264
01:40:35,660 --> 01:40:36,240
Was formed

1265
01:40:36,240 --> 01:40:37,240
By Burgess

1266
01:40:37,240 --> 01:40:38,420
And Colonel John

1267
01:40:38,420 --> 01:40:39,380
Robert McNamara

1268
01:40:39,380 --> 01:40:40,660
British historian

1269
01:40:40,660 --> 01:40:41,620
John Costello

1270
01:40:41,620 --> 01:40:42,800
Tells of an instance

1271
01:40:42,800 --> 01:40:43,660
When Burgess

1272
01:40:43,660 --> 01:40:44,560
McNamara

1273
01:40:44,560 --> 01:40:45,900
A war office official

1274
01:40:45,900 --> 01:40:46,560
By the name of

1275
01:40:46,560 --> 01:40:47,300
Tom Wiley

1276
01:40:47,300 --> 01:40:48,740
And J.H. Sharp

1277
01:40:48,740 --> 01:40:50,060
The Church of England's

1278
01:40:50,060 --> 01:40:50,700
Archdeacon

1279
01:40:50,700 --> 01:40:51,640
For Southern Europe

1280
01:40:51,640 --> 01:40:53,100
Took a group of boys

1281
01:40:53,100 --> 01:40:54,380
To a Hitler youth camp

1282
01:40:54,380 --> 01:40:55,860
Where the boys allegedly

1283
01:40:55,860 --> 01:40:57,940
Satisfied their sexual passion

1284
01:40:57,940 --> 01:40:59,400
The trip was sponsored

1285
01:40:59,400 --> 01:41:01,320
By the Foreign Relations Council

1286
01:41:01,320 --> 01:41:02,800
Of the Church of England

1287
01:41:02,800 --> 01:41:04,600
By 1936

1288
01:41:04,600 --> 01:41:06,120
Burgess landed a job

1289
01:41:06,120 --> 01:41:07,620
Producing for the BBC

1290
01:41:07,620 --> 01:41:09,560
In October of 1938

1291
01:41:09,560 --> 01:41:11,200
He met Winston Churchill

1292
01:41:11,200 --> 01:41:12,760
And later that year

1293
01:41:12,760 --> 01:41:14,680
Joined British MI6

1294
01:41:14,680 --> 01:41:16,180
Guy was also a lover

1295
01:41:16,180 --> 01:41:17,480
Of Sir Anthony Blunt

1296
01:41:17,480 --> 01:41:18,820
An art historian

1297
01:41:18,820 --> 01:41:20,100
And Soviet spy

1298
01:41:20,100 --> 01:41:21,600
Who later confessed

1299
01:41:21,600 --> 01:41:23,280
To recruiting young students

1300
01:41:23,280 --> 01:41:24,780
At Cambridge University

1301
01:41:24,780 --> 01:41:26,800
Blunt used homosexuality

1302
01:41:26,800 --> 01:41:28,340
As a way of blackmailing

1303
01:41:28,340 --> 01:41:29,040
Older boys

1304
01:41:29,040 --> 01:41:30,660
And later men

1305
01:41:30,660 --> 01:41:32,000
Anthony knew

1306
01:41:32,000 --> 01:41:33,080
That much of Britain

1307
01:41:33,080 --> 01:41:34,900
Was run by former prefects

1308
01:41:34,900 --> 01:41:36,200
Vulnerable to

1309
01:41:36,200 --> 01:41:37,640
Blackmail

1310
01:41:37,640 --> 01:41:39,100
He contends that

1311
01:41:39,100 --> 01:41:40,540
Blunt ran a pedophile ring

1312
01:41:40,540 --> 01:41:41,540
Which included

1313
01:41:41,540 --> 01:41:42,940
Much of the country's elite

1314
01:41:42,940 --> 01:41:44,080
Like Churchill

1315
01:41:44,080 --> 01:41:45,240
Blunt was close

1316
01:41:45,240 --> 01:41:46,380
With the banking families

1317
01:41:46,380 --> 01:41:47,880
Like the Rothschilds

1318
01:41:47,880 --> 01:41:48,880
And Warburgs

1319
01:41:48,880 --> 01:41:50,300
And shared young boys

1320
01:41:50,300 --> 01:41:51,900
With the head of MI6

1321
01:41:51,900 --> 01:41:53,480
Maurice Oldfield

1322
01:41:53,480 --> 01:41:55,020
He goes on to write

1323
01:41:55,020 --> 01:41:56,680
That much of the royal family

1324
01:41:56,680 --> 01:41:58,100
Were not only homosexual

1325
01:41:58,100 --> 01:41:59,500
But had an affinity

1326
01:41:59,500 --> 01:42:00,520
For young boys

1327
01:42:00,520 --> 01:42:01,660
This included

1328
01:42:01,660 --> 01:42:02,920
Edward Prince of Wales

1329
01:42:02,920 --> 01:42:04,180
His brother George

1330
01:42:04,180 --> 01:42:05,100
Duke of Kent

1331
01:42:05,100 --> 01:42:06,600
The brother to the Queen

1332
01:42:06,600 --> 01:42:08,360
David Bowes Lyon

1333
01:42:08,360 --> 01:42:10,160
And Lord Louis Mountbatten

1334
01:42:10,160 --> 01:42:11,660
Uncle of Prince Philip

1335
01:42:11,660 --> 01:42:12,860
And later husband

1336
01:42:12,860 --> 01:42:13,900
Of the granddaughter

1337
01:42:13,900 --> 01:42:14,880
Of Jewish banker

1338
01:42:14,880 --> 01:42:16,400
Ernest Cassell

1339
01:42:16,400 --> 01:42:18,160
In fact he makes the point

1340
01:42:18,160 --> 01:42:19,440
That much of the royal family

1341
01:42:19,440 --> 01:42:21,060
Is indeed Jewish

1342
01:42:21,060 --> 01:42:22,440
Everywhere you looked

1343
01:42:22,440 --> 01:42:24,140
You could see the Jewish influence

1344
01:42:24,140 --> 01:42:25,340
In Churchill's life

1345
01:42:25,340 --> 01:42:26,660
Bernard Baruch

1346
01:42:26,660 --> 01:42:28,160
David Ben-Gurion

1347
01:42:28,160 --> 01:42:29,480
Kyum Weissman

1348
01:42:29,480 --> 01:42:31,380
Rufus Isaacs

1349
01:42:31,380 --> 01:42:32,840
And even Charlie Chaplin

1350
01:42:32,840 --> 01:42:34,440
In 1935

1351
01:42:34,440 --> 01:42:35,400
Winston Churchill

1352
01:42:35,400 --> 01:42:36,720
Contacted Britain's

1353
01:42:36,720 --> 01:42:37,840
First film mogul

1354
01:42:37,840 --> 01:42:39,260
Alexander Korda

1355
01:42:39,260 --> 01:42:40,380
About a script

1356
01:42:40,380 --> 01:42:40,920
He had written

1357
01:42:40,920 --> 01:42:41,560
Entitled

1358
01:42:41,560 --> 01:42:43,080
The Reign of George V

1359
01:42:43,080 --> 01:42:44,380
And secured a contract

1360
01:42:44,380 --> 01:42:45,680
As an assistant producer

1361
01:42:45,680 --> 01:42:47,100
And historical advisor

1362
01:42:47,100 --> 01:42:47,760
For the film

1363
01:42:47,760 --> 01:42:48,720
A film that would

1364
01:42:48,720 --> 01:42:49,600
Later be shelved

1365
01:42:49,600 --> 01:42:50,380
But Korda

1366
01:42:50,380 --> 01:42:51,200
Would prove useful

1367
01:42:51,200 --> 01:42:52,480
As his rising status

1368
01:42:52,480 --> 01:42:53,540
Allowed him to connect

1369
01:42:53,540 --> 01:42:54,180
With Hollywood

1370
01:42:54,180 --> 01:42:55,180
Where he released

1371
01:42:55,180 --> 01:42:56,260
A successful trilogy

1372
01:42:56,260 --> 01:42:56,920
Of films

1373
01:42:56,920 --> 01:42:58,200
Sanders of the River

1374
01:42:58,200 --> 01:42:59,540
In 1936

1375
01:42:59,540 --> 01:43:00,420
The Drum

1376
01:43:00,420 --> 01:43:01,460
In 1938

1377
01:43:01,460 --> 01:43:02,980
And The Four Feathers

1378
01:43:02,980 --> 01:43:04,220
In 1939

1379
01:43:04,220 --> 01:43:06,480
These English westerns

1380
01:43:06,480 --> 01:43:07,820
Did well at the box office

1381
01:43:07,820 --> 01:43:09,380
Resulting in Hollywood's

1382
01:43:09,380 --> 01:43:10,880
1939 response

1383
01:43:10,880 --> 01:43:11,740
Gunga Din

1384
01:43:11,740 --> 01:43:13,520
Famed aviator

1385
01:43:13,520 --> 01:43:14,400
And leader of the

1386
01:43:14,400 --> 01:43:15,580
America First movement

1387
01:43:15,580 --> 01:43:17,080
Charles Lindbergh

1388
01:43:17,080 --> 01:43:17,840
Was outraged

1389
01:43:17,840 --> 01:43:19,140
At the propaganda films

1390
01:43:19,140 --> 01:43:20,580
Arguing that America

1391
01:43:20,580 --> 01:43:21,660
Was being enticed

1392
01:43:21,660 --> 01:43:23,500
Into an unnecessary war

1393
01:43:23,500 --> 01:43:25,980
The three most important groups

1394
01:43:25,980 --> 01:43:26,780
Who have been pressing

1395
01:43:26,780 --> 01:43:28,160
This country towards war

1396
01:43:28,160 --> 01:43:29,080
Are the British

1397
01:43:29,080 --> 01:43:29,980
The Jewish

1398
01:43:29,980 --> 01:43:31,940
And the Roosevelt administration

1399
01:43:31,940 --> 01:43:33,800
Lindbergh was plenty aware

1400
01:43:33,800 --> 01:43:34,500
That the cinemas

1401
01:43:34,500 --> 01:43:35,920
Were a propaganda machine

1402
01:43:35,920 --> 01:43:37,280
Saying that cinemas

1403
01:43:37,280 --> 01:43:38,580
Soon became filled

1404
01:43:38,580 --> 01:43:39,920
With plays portraying

1405
01:43:39,920 --> 01:43:41,200
The glory of war

1406
01:43:41,200 --> 01:43:42,660
American author

1407
01:43:42,660 --> 01:43:43,600
Gore Vidal

1408
01:43:43,600 --> 01:43:45,340
The English kept up

1409
01:43:45,340 --> 01:43:46,560
A propaganda barrage

1410
01:43:46,560 --> 01:43:47,640
That was to permeate

1411
01:43:47,640 --> 01:43:48,920
Our entire culture

1412
01:43:48,920 --> 01:43:50,100
On our screens

1413
01:43:50,100 --> 01:43:50,940
It seemed as if

1414
01:43:50,940 --> 01:43:52,320
The only country on earth

1415
01:43:52,320 --> 01:43:53,100
Was England

1416
01:43:53,100 --> 01:43:54,420
British intelligence

1417
01:43:54,420 --> 01:43:55,700
Had no great faith

1418
01:43:55,700 --> 01:43:56,340
In the American

1419
01:43:56,340 --> 01:43:57,560
Educational system

1420
01:43:57,560 --> 01:43:59,420
In May of 1940

1421
01:43:59,420 --> 01:44:00,620
Corda was summoned

1422
01:44:00,620 --> 01:44:01,200
To meet with

1423
01:44:01,200 --> 01:44:01,920
Duff Cooper

1424
01:44:01,920 --> 01:44:02,940
Churchill's

1425
01:44:02,940 --> 01:44:04,040
Minister of Information

1426
01:44:04,040 --> 01:44:05,600
Corda was called

1427
01:44:05,600 --> 01:44:06,300
To the US

1428
01:44:06,300 --> 01:44:07,340
To create an American

1429
01:44:07,340 --> 01:44:08,420
Propaganda film

1430
01:44:08,420 --> 01:44:10,020
Hollywood at the time

1431
01:44:10,020 --> 01:44:10,560
Was becoming

1432
01:44:10,560 --> 01:44:11,580
Not just a sanctuary

1433
01:44:11,580 --> 01:44:12,860
For Jewish filmmakers

1434
01:44:12,860 --> 01:44:14,180
But a hotbed

1435
01:44:14,180 --> 01:44:15,360
Creating a film

1436
01:44:15,360 --> 01:44:15,920
In Hollywood

1437
01:44:15,920 --> 01:44:17,080
Would create less

1438
01:44:17,080 --> 01:44:18,180
Suspicion for agents

1439
01:44:18,180 --> 01:44:19,440
And propagandists

1440
01:44:19,440 --> 01:44:20,540
That film

1441
01:44:20,540 --> 01:44:22,200
Was That Hamilton Woman

1442
01:44:22,200 --> 01:44:23,480
Released in March

1443
01:44:23,480 --> 01:44:24,620
Of 1941

1444
01:44:24,620 --> 01:44:26,340
Featuring Laurence Olivier

1445
01:44:26,340 --> 01:44:27,660
And Vivian Leigh

1446
01:44:27,660 --> 01:44:28,500
Who was now

1447
01:44:28,500 --> 01:44:29,280
One of the world's

1448
01:44:29,280 --> 01:44:30,080
Biggest stars

1449
01:44:30,080 --> 01:44:31,060
After appearing

1450
01:44:31,060 --> 01:44:32,020
In the Oscar winning

1451
01:44:32,020 --> 01:44:33,060
Gone with the Wind

1452
01:44:33,060 --> 01:44:34,480
The film is set

1453
01:44:34,480 --> 01:44:36,040
During the Napoleonic Wars

1454
01:44:36,040 --> 01:44:37,280
The famous line

1455
01:44:37,280 --> 01:44:37,860
From Olivier

1456
01:44:37,860 --> 01:44:39,500
You cannot make peace

1457
01:44:39,500 --> 01:44:40,180
With dictators

1458
01:44:40,180 --> 01:44:41,840
You have to destroy them

1459
01:44:41,840 --> 01:44:42,940
Wipe them out

1460
01:44:42,940 --> 01:44:44,440
Was a clear analogy

1461
01:44:44,440 --> 01:44:45,420
To Adolf Hitler

1462
01:44:45,420 --> 01:44:46,540
This film

1463
01:44:46,540 --> 01:44:47,280
Along with another

1464
01:44:47,280 --> 01:44:48,160
One of Churchill's

1465
01:44:48,160 --> 01:44:48,860
Jewish friends

1466
01:44:48,860 --> 01:44:49,940
Charlie Chaplin's

1467
01:44:49,940 --> 01:44:51,120
The Great Dictator

1468
01:44:51,120 --> 01:44:52,160
United Artists

1469
01:44:52,160 --> 01:44:53,260
Foreign Correspondent

1470
01:44:53,260 --> 01:44:54,540
And MGM's

1471
01:44:54,540 --> 01:44:55,640
The Mortal Storm

1472
01:44:55,640 --> 01:44:56,760
Were films that were

1473
01:44:56,760 --> 01:44:57,840
Used as propaganda

1474
01:44:57,840 --> 01:44:59,400
And received boycotts

1475
01:44:59,400 --> 01:45:00,380
From America First

1476
01:45:00,380 --> 01:45:01,400
As productions

1477
01:45:01,400 --> 01:45:02,340
That seemed to be

1478
01:45:02,340 --> 01:45:03,260
Preparing Americans

1479
01:45:03,260 --> 01:45:04,040
For war

1480
01:45:04,040 --> 01:45:05,680
Churchill kept a bust

1481
01:45:05,680 --> 01:45:06,700
Of the movie's character

1482
01:45:06,700 --> 01:45:08,380
Admiral Horatio Nelson

1483
01:45:08,380 --> 01:45:09,260
On his desk

1484
01:45:09,260 --> 01:45:10,560
And named his cat

1485
01:45:10,560 --> 01:45:11,380
The same thing

1486
01:45:11,380 --> 01:45:13,780
In September of 1941

1487
01:45:13,780 --> 01:45:15,480
Two months before

1488
01:45:15,480 --> 01:45:16,140
Pearl Harbor

1489
01:45:16,140 --> 01:45:17,420
The U.S. Senate

1490
01:45:17,420 --> 01:45:18,600
Conducted an investigation

1491
01:45:18,600 --> 01:45:19,760
Into propaganda

1492
01:45:19,760 --> 01:45:21,000
In motion pictures

1493
01:45:21,000 --> 01:45:22,220
Exhibit 1

1494
01:45:22,220 --> 01:45:23,960
Alexander Korda

1495
01:45:23,960 --> 01:45:28,960
But the real drama

1496
01:45:28,960 --> 01:45:29,860
Was unfolding

1497
01:45:29,860 --> 01:45:31,100
With Churchill himself

1498
01:45:31,100 --> 01:45:32,920
Much of the world's media

1499
01:45:32,920 --> 01:45:33,680
Was portraying

1500
01:45:33,680 --> 01:45:34,720
Hitler as the dragon

1501
01:45:34,720 --> 01:45:35,800
And Churchill

1502
01:45:35,800 --> 01:45:37,160
As King George

1503
01:45:37,160 --> 01:45:38,840
The story of Korda

1504
01:45:38,840 --> 01:45:40,260
Is worth its own film

1505
01:45:40,260 --> 01:45:41,780
He was later accused

1506
01:45:41,780 --> 01:45:43,160
Of working for MI6

1507
01:45:43,160 --> 01:45:44,680
With payments being shown

1508
01:45:44,680 --> 01:45:45,560
To British agents

1509
01:45:45,560 --> 01:45:46,300
In the U.S.

1510
01:45:46,860 --> 01:45:47,580
Claude Danzy

1511
01:45:47,580 --> 01:45:49,440
Deputy chief of MI6

1512
01:45:49,440 --> 01:45:50,500
Sat on the board

1513
01:45:50,500 --> 01:45:51,420
Of London's films

1514
01:45:51,420 --> 01:45:52,380
After the war

1515
01:45:52,380 --> 01:45:53,920
Winston Churchill

1516
01:45:53,920 --> 01:45:54,840
Knighted him

1517
01:45:54,840 --> 01:45:55,360
In 1942

1518
01:45:55,360 --> 01:45:56,160
In 1942

1519
01:45:56,160 --> 01:45:57,940
Today the BAFTA

1520
01:45:57,940 --> 01:45:59,280
Or British Film Award

1521
01:45:59,280 --> 01:46:00,500
Is given in honor

1522
01:46:00,500 --> 01:46:01,320
To Korda

1523
01:46:01,320 --> 01:46:02,960
Another protégé

1524
01:46:02,960 --> 01:46:04,740
Of MI6's Claude Danzy

1525
01:46:04,740 --> 01:46:06,020
Was Ian Fleming

1526
01:46:06,020 --> 01:46:07,380
Or Codename Z

1527
01:46:07,380 --> 01:46:08,740
Who wrote a series

1528
01:46:08,740 --> 01:46:09,340
Of novels

1529
01:46:09,340 --> 01:46:10,760
That fascinated Korda

1530
01:46:10,760 --> 01:46:13,060
Especially 1954's

1531
01:46:13,060 --> 01:46:14,120
Live and Let Die

1532
01:46:14,120 --> 01:46:15,380
Featuring the now

1533
01:46:15,380 --> 01:46:16,520
Iconic character

1534
01:46:16,520 --> 01:46:17,620
James Bond

1535
01:46:17,620 --> 01:46:19,140
Had Korda not died

1536
01:46:19,140 --> 01:46:20,220
In 1956

1537
01:46:20,220 --> 01:46:21,920
It may have been him

1538
01:46:21,920 --> 01:46:23,300
Who had directed the film

1539
01:46:23,300 --> 01:46:35,760
But a şimdi

1540
01:46:35,760 --> 01:46:36,680
We'll get sued

1541
01:46:36,680 --> 01:46:37,820
And it may have been

1542
01:46:37,820 --> 01:46:39,180
Like we are

1543
01:46:39,180 --> 01:46:40,780
Deadly

1544
01:46:40,780 --> 01:46:41,800
And it may have been

1545
01:46:41,800 --> 01:46:42,780
Adventures in British

1546
01:46:42,780 --> 01:46:42,800
After the war

1547
01:46:42,800 --> 01:46:43,580
