inside the house, who possibly cared
children as needed.

There is everything to benefit in any case
of gentrification at Auschwitz.

My grandfather writes
in his memoirs: “It was heaven.

” Like all SS leaders, Hoess is constantly motivated by Himmler, whose arguments have not been
registered only once For internal use.

Most of you know
what is 100 corpses, 500 or 1000 corpses.

Have stood in these circumstances, And remained worthy, Except for a few cases
of human failure, It has toughened us up! It’s a page of glory in our history
which was never written, And never will be again! As early as 1941, Himmler ordered Hoess, Let Auschwitz pass
on an industrial scale, To receive more and more convoys.

red brick buildings
of the old barracks are no longer sufficient.

3km from this first site, Then begins the construction
from Birkenau, A gigantic concentration camp, But also a killing center, Where upon their arrival, The deportees are sent
directly into the gas chambers.

Hoess also uses prisoners
to supply manpower, A whole industrial complex.

A large chemical plant is set up.

At the cutting edge of technology
of the time, In particular, it manufactures
rubber for tires.

The set at Auschwitz, that is,
the camps, the city, the factories, It’s a permanent construction site
and incessant, From 40 to almost 1945,
the end of the war.

Auschwitz continues to diversify.

After this huge factory, Hoess develops a big project
agricultural with Himmler.

He shares that with Heinrich Himmler, Who made, from 1918,
agronomy studies.

And so they have a common passion.

Hoess, supervise the implementation
of these greenhouses, To do research
on new plants.

From 1943, the Birkenau camp
becomes huge.

The new agricultural center is established
in a small hamlet, Rajsko.

During the war, Auschwitz became a
model city for the Nazis.

The population is multiplied by 4.

Within the camp, alongside Rudolf Hoess, Another great Nazi criminal also benefits
convoys arriving at Auschwitz.

Sons of wealthy industrialists,
Dr Josef Mengele, Conducts medical experiments.

Mengele leads there
official research, In an official setting,
the concentration camp.

He led it like
at the butcher shop.

In the medical services of the camps
and medical academies, Nazi doctors proceed
to horrific mutilations.

Especially on bodies
Jewish and Gypsy deportees.

Doctors who were given
all power over individuals, Who are no longer relegated
as human beings, But to the rank of human materials, On which we will proceed to all
the research that is deemed necessary, To advance medicine
in such and such a radius.

The experiments of Doctor Mengele, They require children.

In this column of little survivors,
filmed here in 1945, In the front row, 2 little sisters
twins hold hands.

Hungarian Jewry,
their names are Miriam and Eva, 11 years old at the time.

We were little children, old little girls
2 to 16 years old, hungry.

We had no rights But the fierce determination
to live another day.

When she lands on
the quay of Auschwitz-Birkenau, In 1944, with the 5 members
from his family.

Eva must, as soon as she gets off the train, To undergo the selection operated by the SS, Who receive the convoys
and work for Mengele.

A Nazi was running and shouting in German: “Twins, twins!” He noticed that we were
dressed alike, Miriam and I.

He asked my mother
if we were twins.

And my mother replied:
“Is it good for her?” The Nazi says: “yes”.

Immediately, another Nazi pushed my mother
in one direction and us in the other.

She was crying and we were crying.

stripped of their belongings, 4 family members
are sent to the gas chamber.

If Eva and her sister survive, It is to be used by
the experiments of Doctor Mengele.

Every day they are driven
to the medical service of the camp he runs.

It took me a little
blood in the left arm, And it made me at least
5 injections per day in the right arm.

What was in those injections, We didn’t know that at the time.

And unfortunately I don’t know
still not today.

These injections make
Eva seriously ill.

And causes a very high fever.

The next day, Doctor Mengele
came with 4 other doctors.

He didn’t examine me, he just
looked at my temperature chart, And he said with a laugh,
sarcastically: “Too bad she’s so young
and she only has 2 weeks to live.

” His experiences of Mengele
on the twins, acts of torture, play a strategic role
for the Nazis.

At the very heart of Nazi ideology, There is this idea
that Aryan blood is rare, And everything must be done
to promote reproduction, And allow growth
of the Aryan population.

And so we have to try
to find a method, Who allows births
twins, triplets,.

.

.

They were trying to mate with each other
twins of reproductive age.

To see if the girl got pregnant.

What if she was going to have
twins in turn.

They wanted to increase
the Aryan race.

Eva and her sister survive.

Forever serious attacks
physical impairment.

1,100,000 people
perish at Auschwitz.

But from the end of 1941, Hitler and his accomplices
experience their first setbacks.

Goering, considers that waging the war in
same time in western and eastern Europe, is madness.

But again,
he does not confront Hitler.

Goering, at first, Was very skeptical about
concerns an offensive towards the East.

And there, he realizes very quickly that,
apparently Hitler has made up his mind.

And that is the rule for Goering.

If he made a decision,
it is up to him to obey orders.

But Goering was right.

Against the U.

S.

S.

R.

The German army had not taken
the extent of the freezing winter.

The troops are running out.

In front of Stalingrad,
the losses are enormous.

At that time, the young Dieter, Gone from the Hitler Youth
on the Russian front, Where he fights in the division
Hermann Goring.

The young soldier is only 17 years old.

What I learned from adults
who were there It was that Goering had
a different opinion from Hitler.

He didn’t want war.

And in a conversation with Hitler,
Goring said: “We don’t want to play
in a game of chance”.

Hitler replied: “I haven’t always played
only to games of chance!” Engaged in multiple battles, The Germans are missing
of the necessary armament.

But Hitler does not want to hear anything.

He searches in his close guard, A capable accomplice
to promise him a miracle.

Goering, who once led the industry
of armaments, is a candidate.

Hitler, he prefers
a more motivated employee.

He chooses his architect,
Albert Speer.

Hitler told him: “You must become
Minister of Armaments”.

Speer said he had no
no training in this area.

Hitler insisted, saying:
“You will do it”.

So he accepted this mission.

Without Speer, the war would not have
not last that long.

Reich Minister for Armaments
and war production, Visiting a large
arms company, He thanked the workers
for investments, In the incredible increase
from production.

Hitler asked him to double
production rates.

But from the start, for Speer,
the problem seems complicated.

The men are sent to the front, Women have replaced them
in arms factories.

Propaganda even encouraged them, To give up their previous jobs.

This worker was until recently,
seamstress in a fashion salon.

This one,
saleswoman in a jewelry store.

This one,
saleswoman in a perfumery.

But it’s still not enough To achieve the goals
exorbitant amounts dictated by Hitler.

In addition, Speer is responsible for supervising
the development of secret weapons, Who must reverse
the course of the war.

In particular the V1 and V2 missiles, Which have been tested for more than 5 years.

The first missiles
ballistics of history, would be able
to hit England.

against all odds,
Speer pulled off the miracle.

While the country is under bombardment
during the year 1943, Like here in Hamburg, He manages to double
the production of armaments.

Cannons and tanks
are assembled on the chain, In huge factories, where the workers work
more than 70 hours per week.

But his miracle
also has a hidden side.

Due to Allied bombings, Town centers were destroyed.

And some industrial sites as well.

That’s when the idea came up,
to set up production underground.

In central Germany, In a region of forests
150 kilometers from Hanover, A sprawling project will be
buried under this hill.

The Nazis imagine a network
galleries of more than 12km, Which crosses from side to side
the whole mountain of Mittelbau-Dora.

You enter through this vast entrance,
7 meters high.

The old mine looks like a
endless succession of tunnels.

This maze has 45 bays.

It’s the biggest
world underground factory, where workers assemble
the famous V2 missiles.

But it is also the heart of the system
organized by Albert Speer.

Thousands of deportees came
concentration camps, They are locked up there night and day, To work like slaves.

Of the 60,000 prisoners in the tunnel,
20,000 will die there, Including more than 2000 French.

Albert Speer, will always say to know nothing
of these barbaric living conditions, Who make his miracle possible.

Hitler considers him
like an organizational genius.

He decorates it.

Speer’s ambition,
irritates his rivals.

Speer succeeded in instrumentalizing
the camp system, For the arms industry.

We know that apart from Hitler,
Himmler particularly feared a rival.

It was Speer.

‘Cause it always happened
to win over Hitler.

Speer’s miracle is not enough.

The news coming
from the Russian front, Are more and more catastrophic
for the Germans.

200,000 soldiers
are taken prisoner.

Goering, wear now
physically the weight of defeat.

His drug use
skyrocketing.

Puffy, glassy-eyed,
it weighs more than 120 kg.

He feels useless.

It’s a personal crisis.

And this crisis, he tries to calm down
taking medication, Morphine or something.

It is at this moment, That we make fun of him more and more.

And it is also, not only
the German public, But it is also Hitler who becomes
increasingly critical.

Yet on the eastern front, When Marshal Goering inspects the
Panzerdivision, named after him, All soldiers still have to
pretend to believe in victory.

Among the fighters of this unit, Lies young Dieter.

We knew between us
that the war was lost, But we could just think it,
we could not say it openly.

If someone said:
“The war is lost and all is over.

” He would have been shot.

To curb this demotivation, Hitler needs a capable collaborator
to enlist the Germans behind him.

It’s time for the most
fanatical about his accomplices, To come back into the light.

Berlin Sports Palace,
February 18, 1943, Goebbels orchestrates
a communications operation.

He gathered a crowd
convinced Nazis.

But also injured
coming from the front.

He carefully chose
its 14,000 spectators.

The English claim
that the German people, Opposes total war measures
of our government.

The people wouldn’t want
total war according to the English, But surrender! I ask you :
“Do you want total war?” It creates an atmosphere
hysteria in Germany.

Do you want this war
so total and so radical, Than we can imagine? I ask you :
“Are you determined.

To follow the führer to hell,
in order to achieve victory, By accepting even the trials
toughest personalities?” That evening, Goebbels, in a trance, Will accomplish what he deems
like performance, The most successful of his career.

Germany must sacrifice
until the last one.

Germany will never capitulate.

Goebbels is smart enough, To realize
that the situation is difficult, Can be desperate.

If victory is possible, It will be thanks to the energy,
to the will and the sense of sacrifice.

If defeat is inevitable,
the Nazis will disappear, With such a racket, Such a crash, such an apocalypse, That at least they will be immortalized
by their sacrifice.

His eternal rival, Goering
is finally disgraced.

He comes back to the fore.

Goebbels then deploys
extraordinary energy.

He visits the victims
bombed cities.

Listen to complaints awards medals, And runs the soup kitchens.

He will return fully to the fore, Like some sort of vice Hitler,
of second Hitler, For the benefit of disaster.

Goebbels also expands
the age of mobilization, For all Germans.

The men are now
enrolled up to age 60.

And the age of the youngest
is lowered to just 16.

As the allies approach,
I decided to get involved.

New recruits go to the front
in their everyday clothes, With the weapons they have at hand.

Goebbels named the operation, People’s storm.

But in Berlin in ruins, where the locals
are reduced to eat, Digging through the trash, One more news
will shake the morale of the Nazis.

In Normandy, the Allies
just landed.

Day by day, the collapse
of the Reich is looming.

Little Margit, lives hidden in Berlin.

To flee the Nazis, his father, a Jew,
went into exile in China.

And from his hiding place in July 1944, The little girl regains hope,
hearing news on the radio.

My God ! But on July 20, 1944,
it was the attempt on Hitler.

And you know what I have
heard first on the radio? It was Hitler’s voice saying: “Providence saved me!”
And she had saved him.

In this room entirely
devastated from her headquarters, Hitler miraculously survived
to a bomb attack.

Around him, we counted 4 dead
and 9 seriously injured, whom he visits in the hospital.

The attack was organized
by senior officers, Who wanted to negotiate with the Allies,
Germany’s surrender.

This plot against Hitler triggers
thousands of arrests, Of torture and murder.

Speer, Himmler, Goring, Goebbels, Now know all that
they risk if they betray him.

But they will do
very different choices.

His accomplices are all
supposed to follow their führer, Even in the sacrifice of their life.

They are now trapped by Hitler, Who has lost his lucidity.

In March 1945, he was walking in slow motion.

On these propaganda images, He sits in front of a map
and faced with paralyzed generals, Who dare not talk about defeat.

He dominates them.

He shuts them down, he rebuffs them,
he yells at them.

But in the spring of 1945, He moves little flags
and pawns that no longer exist.

This April 20, 1945, the day
of Hitler’s 56th birthday, This is the last time
that they are filmed together.

Goering and Himmler parade, apparently all smiles.

But that’s just an illusion.

A few hours later,
they hastily abandon Hitler.

Goering learns that Hitler is taking
the decision not to leave Berlin.

Goering leaves for
southern Germany and fled.

Because at that time, To stay in Berlin is to die.

Soviet soldiers
crush the city under the bombs.

In a bunker under
the monumental chancellery, Of the three main accomplices, Only Goebbels remains holed up with Hitler.

If it leads to suicide,
to death, to defeat, It’s not serious.

Because Doctor Goebbels,
chief propagandist, Will have worked on setting
in the scene of this death, In such a way that,
for centuries and centuries, The myth of this death,
of this sacrifice, Of its disappearance, will resound.

As the empire crumbles, Joseph Goebbels, the fanatic, Address to the Germans, April 21,
a final radio message.

The moment of truth is approaching I stay in Berlin
accompanied by all my cabinet.

My wife and my children too,
are here and will stay in Berlin.

While the city
is in the hands of the Soviets, On April 30, 1945 at 3 p.

m.

,
Hitler commits suicide.

According to his last wishes, He designates Joseph Goebbels
as his official successor.

But Goebbels is not Chancellor
only a few hours.

When the Soviets arrive
in the gardens of the Chancellery, They discover the charred bodies
by Joseph and Magda Goebbels, With the corpses of their 6 children, that they poisoned
before committing suicide.

With Magda Goebbels, his wife, They agree to say
that there is no future, there is no world
possible without Nazism, So they murder their children.

They turn off the next generation, It’s finish ! All over Germany,
the Allies discover the same scene.

Thousands of Anonymous Nazis
don’t want to surrender.

And commit suicide as a family.

Unlike Goebbels,
Himmler and Goring, They are ready to negotiate.

Himmler and Goering remain
policies all the way, Moreover, these are people who
leave all options open, Who calculate and who want to survive.

Hermann Goering took refuge
in his residence.

At the border of Germany
and Austria.

Before his death, Hitler sacked him.

The Führer had appointed him
as his successor, So on April 23, 1945, Goering told him
sent this telegram classified confidential, Where he had offered to replace him.

If negotiations
are necessary, I’ll be in a better place
than you in Berlin.

There he asks Hitler, If you are no longer able
to make decisions, It’s now mine
to take up your duties.

Hitler considered this telegram
as a serious betrayal.

And that is why Goering
is dismissed from all his functions.

Finally, in May 1945,
Goering surrenders to the Americans.

His wife and daughter
are kept in safe custody.

Goering is still convinced, That he will be able to negotiate
surrender with honours.

He is a marshal
the highest military rank, But we tell him that he is going
be treated like a criminal.

He understands from one minute to the next, That he has no chance
to negotiate anything.

Because it is
an unconditional surrender, That the Allies asked
For years.

Hitler was also betrayed
by his faithful, Heinrich Himmler.

The leader of the SS is on the run.

Since February 1945, To save his head, Himmler entered
secretly in contact with the Allies, To negotiate surrender.

He even allowed
its white Red Cross buses, Saved over 13,000 prisoners
that he had the camps liberated.

Himmler played a double game
At the end of the war, When he conducted negotiations
behind Hitler’s back with the Allies.

We notice his disconnection
reality.

He really believed that the Allies were
willing to accept it from a position of strength.

When he realizes that he is not credible, Himmler hides among simple
captured German soldiers.

He wants to drown in the mass,
disguised under a false identity.

He is finally recognized
near Hamburg, And the moment it is searched
in this house by an English doctor.

Himmler bites into a cyanide capsule, The poison he kept
hidden in the mouth.

He dies immediately.

killer of the century
will never be accountable.

He wanted to escape
to its responsibilities.

Not just running away, But also by committing suicide, To not appear
before a judge.

On the same day, in Flensburg,
in northern Germany, The last responsible
Nazis are arrested.

Among them are Hitler’s protege,
Albert Speer.

The architect and Minister of Armaments.

In the summer of 1945, Among the accomplices of the guard
closer to Hitler, Only Goering and Speer
are still alive.

On the bottom of the scale,
Hoess also survived.

They will answer for their crimes
in front of the judges.

They still think
make it out alive.

In Nuremberg, on November 20, 1945, The trial of the century begins.

These American magistrates,
English, Russian and French, Must judge the 24 greatest
Nazi criminals still alive.

All risk the death penalty.

And for the first time in history, They will have to answer
of a new crime, The crime against humanity.

Accused number one is Hermann Goering, Slimmed down, cured of his addiction
