May 1st, 1945.
Führerbunker, Berlin.
Magda
Goebbels walks through the bunker hallway holding a tray filled with chocolates and cyanide
capsules.
She stops at the door of a small room.
Inside, her six children sleep in white night
gowns.
Most mothers would die to protect their children, but Magda Goebbels was different.
She
looks down at the tray, her hands trembling.
For Adolf Hitler, she would kill her own six children.
She will force their mouths open and crush poison between their teeth.
How does a mother turn
into a monster? To understand the end, we have to go back to the beginning because Magda Goebbels
wasn’t always a Nazi monster.
In fact, the man she loved the most was a Jew.
Her beloved stepfather,
the man who raised her was Richard Freedlander, a Jewish man.
She adored him.
She even took his last
name.
As a teenager, Magda fell deeply in love with another Jewish man, Haim Arlosoroff, a young
Zionist leader.
Magda didn’t hate him.
She was infatuated with him.
She even wore a necklace with
a Jewish star that he gave her.
Imagine that.
The future mother of the Third Reich wearing a Jewish
symbol.
The two even planned to move to Palestine together, but the relationship collapsed.
They
broke up and their lives split apart.
But Magda was ambitious, ruthlessly ambitious.
At 20, while
traveling to school by train, Magda met Gunther Quandt, a wealthy widower twice her age and one of
the richest industrialists in Germany.
He fell in love instantly and proposed, but on one condition.
Magda had to drop her Jewish surname.
She agreed and they were married in January 1921.
Their son
Harold was born later that year.
To Magda, this marriage opened the door to unlimited wealth and
social power.
But life as a privileged young wife and mother quickly bored her.
Gunther was always
busy expanding his business empire.
While Magda raised not only Harold but five other children
from his family circle, she wanted excitement and she found it.
She started an affair.
She
got caught.
And then she turned the tables.
She blackmailed him demanding a massive divorce
settlement and a luxury apartment in Berlin.
And she won.
In 1929, as the Great Depression hit
Germany, Magda secured a huge alimony package that kept her living in absolute luxury, untouched by
the economic collapse.
She was young, independent, rich, and dangerously bored.
In 1930, Magda
attended a Nazi party meeting.
That night, she met Joseph Goebbels, a rising political star with
dangerous charisma and very little physical charm.
He was short, walked with a limp, and
was insecure about his appearance.
But Magda didn’t care about looks.
She cared about
power.
She didn’t fall in love with Goebbels.
She calculated him.
He wasn’t a romantic choice.
He was a status upgrade.
Magda was a gold digger, and Goebbels was her next upgrade.
They became
lovers, and by December 1931, they were married.
Adolf Hitler himself stood as best man at their
wedding.
Hitler adored Magda and visited their home constantly.
And Magda didn’t see Hitler as a
politician.
She saw him as a living god.
Goebbels was just the latter.
Hitler was the destination
because her true loyalty never belonged to her husband.
It belonged to Hitler with a devotion
that was no longer admiration but obsession.
By marrying Goebbels, Magda became the unofficial
first lady of the Third Reich.
She was the perfect Aryan mother.
She had six children with Goebbels,
all their names starting with H to honor Hitler.
The public saw a perfect family.
But behind closed
doors, it was a nightmare.
Goebbels was a serial cheater.
He was obsessed with actresses.
His most
famous affair, Lida Baarova, a Czech film star, nearly destroyed the marriage.
Magda begged Hitler
for a divorce, but Hitler refused.
He needed the illusion of the perfect Nazi family, and he
ordered Joseph to end the affair immediately.
But the darkness wasn’t only on Joseph’s side.
Magda herself had an affair with Carl Hanker, a close associate inside the propaganda ministry.
Anyways, when the Nazis took power in 1933, they began persecuting Jews.
And Magda had a
problem.
Her ex-lover Haim Arlosoroff was now a key political figure in Palestine.
He came to
Berlin to negotiate a deal to save German Jews.
It is believed he tried to contact Magda, his
ex-girlfriend, hoping she would help.
But Magda knew that if her husband found out about her
Jewish ex-lover, her life as the first lady was over.
She allegedly sent Arlosoroff a warning.
Leave Germany immediately.
Your life is in danger.
He left, but he wasn’t safe.
2 days after
returning to Tel Aviv, Arlosoroff was walking on the beach.
Two men approached him and shot him
dead.
Many believe Joseph Goebbels sent Nazi agents all the way to Palestine to silence the man
who knew too much about his wife’s past.
And what about her Jewish stepfather, Richard Freedelander,
the man who raised her? In 1938, he was arrested and sent to Buchenwald concentration camp.
He was
forced into hard labor in a stone quarry.
He died a year later.
There is zero evidence that Magda,
the most powerful woman in Germany, lifted a finger to save him.
[Music] Berlin is collapsing.
The Red Army is only streets away.
Magda and Joseph Goebbels move into Hitler’s bunker with
their six children.
Everyone else is trying to escape, but Magda refuses every offer, even from
Hitler himself.
She tells her friends, “The world without the Führer is not worth living in.
” On
April 30th, Hitler and Eva Brown met their final end together in the bunker, and Magda knows what
comes next.
On the night of the 1st of May 1945, Magda dresses her children in white night gowns
and leads them into a small room, assuring them everything would be fine.
She calls in SS Dentist
Helmut Kunz ordering him to inject the children with morphine to make them sleep.
One by one, the
children fall asleep.
But this was not the end.
When Kunz refused to go further, Magda turned to
Hitler’s personal surgeon, Ludwig Stumpfagger.
Together, they finished the task.
It is said
that the youngest didn’t even stir, but Helga, the eldest, perhaps she sensed something.
Forensic
reports suggest she might have resisted, but in that bunker, there was no escape.
Within seconds,
the Goebbels’s bloodline was extinguished, not by an enemy soldier, but by the one person supposed
to protect them.
Magda stood silently, no tears, only a cold devotion to a dead dictator.
Leaving their children behind in the dark, Magda and Joseph walk up the stairs to the
garden above the bunker, the ruins of the Reich Chancellery.
They know exactly what they’re about
to do.
Magda sits beside Joseph.
There is no fear, no hesitation, only silence.
Joseph pulls
out a pistol.
A single shot for Magda and another for himself.
Moments later, SS officers
pour gasoline over their bodies and set them on fire.
Seven days later, the war in Europe ends.
But the story of Magda Goebbels remains one of the darkest portraits of devotion and absolute
moral collapse.
