00:00Germany 1941 in just a few weeks Hitler has defeated France his occupation now
00:14spans half of Europe he is at the peak of his glory
00:18a woman from Berlin miss Dagmar Dassel sends a letter to Adolf Hitler she writes mind fear the
00:36noblest most brilliant of all men prayed for and divinely sent the savior of peace the first
00:44soldier the most brilliant of generals the greatest strategist of all times the most
00:51outstanding statesman Hitler has the German people on his side but the German people do
00:59not yet know that he will unleash the apocalypse
01:03from one speech to the next Hitler has openly expressed his hatred of the Slavs and his desire
01:32to destroy the Soviet Union as communist Russia was known at the time Hitler wants to conquer the
01:39East to give the Germans what he refers to as Lebensraum living space for this living space
01:48he looks towards the vast Soviet territory it is a nation of 200 million human beings presented in
01:55communist propaganda as happy in their cold causes or collective farms when in fact they are terrorized
02:02by a bloodthirsty dictator Stalin neither virus she loved at the people's commissary for defense
02:11nor Stalin nor Malatav in foreign affairs considers himself ready to confront Hitler to stall for time
02:19in August 1939 the communist leaders had signed a non-aggression treaty with Hitler who wanted to
02:25avoid a second front in the East but Stalin believes Hitler will attack him one day he says Hitler thinks
02:33he's outsmarted me but actually it's I will trick him Stalin does not want an enemy in the East in Siberia
02:43he wants a non-aggression pact with Japan Hitler's ally in what is known as the Berlin-Rome-Tokyo axis
02:50in Moscow April 13th 1941 the Japanese Minister of Foreign Affairs Yosuke Matsuoka comes to sign this
03:00pact with the Soviet Union Tokyo doesn't want to be at war with the Russians Japan is preparing our attack
03:11against the Americans Matsuoka has orders to be friendly to Stalin in an extraordinary show of
03:21familiarity they stand arm-in-arm when Matsuoka leaves Stalin literally puts on a show for Hitler on the
03:36platform of the train station on April 20th 1941 the Fuhrer celebrates his 52nd birthday
03:52Bormann Speer and Shob and Goering display opportunistic optimism some doubt Germany's ability to defeat Russia
04:11but Hitler tells them I'll hear no more about it the most reluctant voices are military men like Marshal
04:19Brauschwitz commander-in-chief of the army or Admiral Raeder head of the naval command many recall Napoleon who
04:26lost his Empire in the Russian snow Hitler will need all his soldiers even those in France who are relishing in
04:37their victory in the spring of 1941 Hitler assembles his great army three million German soldiers and
04:53700,000 men from countries allied with the Reich including Romania and Hungary Slovakia and Croatia
05:00200,000 Finns will resume their fight against Russia 60,000 Italians and even 45,000 Spaniards a disappointing
05:13number for Hitler who had tried to convince Franco to get more involved in the war at least Mussolini
05:22remains an ally who has just suffered serious defeats in Albania and Greece
05:32Hitler had to come to his rescue wasting time men and equipment to save Mussolini Hitler occupies Greece
05:42then Yugoslavia but in doing so he also secures the oil he so badly needs produced by his ally Romania
05:50for Hitler England is no longer a threat the country is weakened and starved by the submarine war and he
05:59can no longer continue to ally himself with his worst enemy Stalin he schedules the offensive against the
06:08Soviet Union for June 22nd and gives it a code name operation Barbarossa after a great German Emperor
06:17Hitler declares when Barbarossa commences the world will hold its breath
06:24Hitler imposes on his high command Keitel and Yodel a dispersion of troops
06:35to the north towards Leningrad to secure the Baltic
06:41in the center near Moscow to bring down the communist regime to the south towards Kiev and
06:48even further south around Baku and its oil
06:54Hitler so desperately needs this oil for his motorized army
06:58he has neither doubt nor fear Hitler lines up cannons and tanks
07:08his propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels writes in his diary so far as personnel and equipment are concerned
07:19Russia cannot compare with our force the enemy will be driven back in one smooth movement
07:25the Fuhrer estimates the operation will take four months I reckon on Fuhrer we face victories unequaled in human history
07:34Hitler's pilots who are all 20 years old and members of the Hitler Youth know nothing but Nazi dogma
07:42they fly the Luftwaffe's 3,000 aircraft and despite the losses in the Battle of Britain their faith in the Fuhrer remains intact
07:51all the soldiers have faith in Hitler they have all sworn allegiance to him
08:09I swear by God that I will render unconditional obedience to the Fuhrer of the German Reich and people Adolf Hitler
08:16An Alsace-Moselle annexed to the Reich after the French defeat of 1940 the local men are incorporated into the German forces against their will
08:23the local men are incorporated into the German forces against their will
08:27they will be nicknamed the Malgrinu meaning despite ourselves
08:33they risk being thrown into the Nazi Villa Stutthof the terrible Nazi concentration camp that has just been set up outside Strasbourg
08:432,000 of them are forcibly integrated into the SS
08:50Heinrich Himmler the head of this criminal organization makes them take an oath to Hitler
08:56The children of Alsace-Moselle join the Hitler Youth
09:11The children of Alsace-Moselle join the Hitler Youth
09:15Women are also mobilized many are volunteers
09:18Hitler is always eager to meet women he charms them with his voice warm and smooth when he's not shouting
09:27One of these Alsace-Moselle Malgrinu filmed by his parents is Andre Müller 19 years old from Mulsheim
09:42A medical student who is assigned as a nurse to an infantry division heading east
09:48What awaits him on the other side?
10:05Russian soldiers there are three million of them
10:09The Germans call them
10:12The Germans call them
10:13Untermensch
10:14Inferior people
10:16Everything is dismissed and underestimated by the German intelligence service
10:25The Red Army has been massively armed at the cost of great sacrifice
10:38However, Stalin has disorganized it
10:45Consumed with paranoia, he has just killed 600,000 people in the great terror
10:50He had the high command marshals and regiments colonels assassinated
10:56And sent thousands of officers to the Gulag, the Soviet concentration camps
11:01Even in June, Stalin continues to receive countless warnings from his spies
11:08On the eve of the German attack, a Wehrmacht soldier deserts to warn the Russians
11:14Stalin says, shoot him
11:17On Sunday, June 22, 1941, at 3am, without a declaration of war, the Barbarossa Plan goes into action
11:36Hitler chooses to attack on a Sunday, a day of lesser vigilance
11:43The German vanguards overrun the Russian defenses
11:50The Wehrmacht's armored panzer divisions move deep into Soviet territory
11:57One of the soldiers writes
12:09To the left and right of us along the road we follow
12:12There are Russian corpses and burned-out tanks pierced by shells
12:16The charred bodies of the crew are still inside
12:27Luftwaffe planes wipe out most of the Soviet fleet
12:32Nearly 4,000 planes are destroyed on the ground or shot down in flight
12:37The Germans control the skies since the first day of the attack
12:47The Stuka dive bombers and their terrible warning sirens spread terror and devastation
12:52As they had done in France a year earlier
12:55The Soviet soldiers are panic-stricken
13:06Among them is Vasily Grossman, a great Russian writer
13:10For him, June 22, 1941 is a sign of things to come
13:15He writes
13:16These initial battles were waged with a cruelty that would mark the entire confrontation between these two evil empires
13:24Hitler, meanwhile, follows Barbarossa's stunning progress from the Reich's new chancellery
13:42Which cost a colossal sum of money
13:45Hitler wanted his architect, Albert Speer, and his favorite sculptor, Arno Brecker
13:50Hitler wanted his architect, Albert Speer, and his favorite sculptor, Arno Brecker
13:54To design this vainglorious building with allegories of the Nazi party and the army
14:00After going through endless corridors and monumental doors, the heads of state must walk 150 yards across slippery marble to reach the Fuhrer's immense office
14:19A year ago, to this day, on June 22, 1940, the French armistice had been Hitler's greatest victory to date
14:32At that moment, the British Prime Minister Winston Churchill speaks on BBC Radio
14:48He says
14:50Hitler is a monster of wickedness
14:53Insatiable in his lust for blood and plunder
15:00Not content with having all Europe under his heel
15:06Or else terrorized into various forms of abject submission
15:11He must now carry his work of butchery and desolation among the vast multitudes of Russia
15:41On June 22, 1941, the Germans break through the weak Russian resistance and advance along the enormous front
15:50The largest of all time, from the White Sea to the Black Sea
15:56It is Sunday in Moscow, the capital is quiet, the Kremlin is empty, where is Stalin?
16:04In this regime, everything is hidden, especially the panic of the Soviet government
16:13Stalin is hidden away in his dacha, his secret country house
16:18At first, he is devastated, unable to react
16:23The great Stalin is afraid of being indicted and executed
16:27As the German army advances, Stalin's effigies are destroyed by the Balts and Ukrainians
16:35Who welcome the Germans as liberators from Stalin's terror
16:39Here they are, running out in front of the tanks, holding flowers
16:44Zina Gurskaya is seven years old
16:48She recounts
16:49I saw my first German up close
16:52He was tall, with blue eyes
16:54He took my breath away
16:56So handsome
16:58And he kills
16:59Nina Yurochevich, a young Ukrainian girl, writes
17:09They ride in trucks, covered with birch branches, just like what we do for weddings
17:15They look like normal people
17:17According to rumor, they're setting fires
17:18Yet they simply ride by, laughing
17:19The Ukrainian girl writes,
17:21they ride in trucks covered with birch branches,
17:24just like what we do for weddings.
17:27They look like normal people.
17:29According to rumor, they're setting fires.
17:33Yet they simply ride by, laughing.
17:42An officer of the Gross Deutschland Infantry Regiment,
17:45which had massacred the Senegalese infantrymen in France,
17:48writes,
17:50we could sense their fear.
17:54But most of them applauded us.
17:57They shouted to us that we were liberating them.
18:01Two days after the attack on June 24th,
18:07Hitler takes his famous personal train,
18:10where he has his meeting room, a bedroom, bathroom,
18:14and incredible means of communication for his aides to come.
18:19A section of elite soldiers and anti-aircraft weapons ensure his protection.
18:29He constantly tries to justify his criminal acts.
18:32He says, we have no obligation to the Russians.
18:35There's only one duty to Germanize the country by the immigration of Germans,
18:37and to look upon the natives as redskins.
18:41Hitler will move to his new headquarters.
18:42The Wolf Slayer.
18:43Hitler will move to his new headquarters.
18:44The Wolf Slayer.
18:45The Wolf Slayer.
18:46As close as possible to the Russian front.
18:47The Wolf Slayer.
18:48As close as possible to the Russian front.
18:49The Wolf Slayer.
18:50The Wolf Slayer.
18:51The Wolf Slayer.
18:52The Wolf Slayer.
18:53The Wolf Slayer.
18:54The Wolf Slayer.
18:55The Wolf Slayer.
18:56The Wolf Slayer.
18:57The Wolf Slayer.
18:58The Wolf Slayer.
18:59The Wolf Slayer.
19:00The Wolf Slayer.
19:01The Wolf Slayer.
19:02The Wolf Slayer.
19:03The Wolf Slayer.
19:04The Wolf Slayer.
19:05The Wolf Slayer.
19:06The Wolf Slayer.
19:07The Wolf Slayer.
19:08The Wolf Slayer.
19:09The Wolf Slayer.
19:10The Wolf Slayer.
19:11The Wolf Slayer.
19:12The Wolf Slayer.
19:13The Wolf Slayer.
19:14The Wolf Slayer.
19:15The Wolf Slayer.
19:16The Wolf Slayer.
19:17The Wolf Slayer.
19:18The Wolf Slayer.
19:19Hitler chooses codenames using the word wolf,
19:24reminiscent of a pseudonym in Nazism's early days.
19:28Mr. Wolf.
19:31Eva Brown is far away with his wolf dog.
19:49A train station is constructed at the wolf's lair.
19:53It is connected to a track surrounded by fake trees and a minefield.
20:00A dozen block houses with steel doors house the high command.
20:05Hitler's quarters are relatively spartan.
20:10But he can still have his tea and cakes at 4 p.m.
20:15Hitler, a staunch vegetarian, never drinks alcohol.
20:19But the ministers, marshals, and guests appreciate the champagne offered by Ribbentrop,
20:25minister of foreign affairs, and a former representative of a champagne house.
20:33Hitler hates this place.
20:35Although perfectly camouflaged, it is built on marshland to absorb bomb impact,
20:40which makes it damp and unhealthy.
20:42Hitler, who suffered in the trenches during the First World War, cannot stand it.
20:47But news of Barbarossa gets better with each passing hour.
20:56He appoints a minister for the territories already occupied in the East.
21:03Alfred Rosenberg is a theorist firmly opposed to Bolshevism.
21:07Hitler wants the land, not the people.
21:14He says,
21:16This is a war of extermination.
21:20He repeats to his generals,
21:22Forget the concept of comradeship among soldiers.
21:26A communist is not a comrade,
21:28neither before nor after the battle.
21:30Hitler gives orders to capture and kill the political commissars,
21:39spreading Stalin's word throughout the Soviet units.
21:49And immediately, the hunt for the Jews begins.
21:52If they are circumcised, they are hung.
22:05Along with the yellow star,
22:07this intimate sign of Jewishness is perversely exposed.
22:11Thus, the immense massacre that begins on June 22, 1941,
22:30is not carried out solely by specialized units,
22:33the Einsatzgruppen.
22:35The soldiers of the German army also participate.
22:37Italian author Malaparte,
22:43a war correspondent at the time,
22:46seeks to understand this in his book, Kaput.
22:49The German has no fear of the strong man,
22:53who faces him with courage.
22:55The German fears the defenseless,
22:58the weak, and the sick.
23:00That which drives a German to cruelty,
23:03to deeds most coldly,
23:05methodically, and scientifically cruel,
23:07is fear.
23:09Fear of the oppressed,
23:11the elderly,
23:12the women,
23:12and the Jews.
23:26The Wehrmacht's brutality quickly turns against the Germans,
23:30and mobilizes the Russians.
23:32This popular upsurge brings the Soviet people closer to its regime,
23:47whose will, until now,
23:50was only imposed through terror.
23:52A peasant girl from the Smolensk region,
23:59Elena Kovaleskaya, 18,
24:01immediately enlists.
24:03She explains,
24:04I felt instant hatred,
24:07immediately,
24:08terrible hatred.
24:10How dare they tread on our land?
24:12Who are they?
24:13Where did they come from?
24:14I had only hatred in my heart.
24:17The fervor was raging inside me.
24:20I left.
24:21Mother stayed home alone,
24:23with a cow.
24:23Everyone chants the sacred war.
24:33They're inspired by the heroic resistance of Brest-Litovsk,
24:37the besieged fortress on the road to Moscow.
24:39Here,
24:42Hitler's soldiers must confront NKVD troops,
24:45police officers,
24:46and tough guys,
24:47all entrenched in the citadel.
24:51They hold out for days,
24:53slowing down Operation Barbarossa.
24:55In Moscow,
25:07Stalin returns to the Kremlin.
25:12How can he turn this situation around?
25:18First,
25:18he wants to reassure the whole world,
25:21taking advantage of the presence in Moscow
25:23of famous American photographer,
25:25Margaret Burke White.
25:26He summons her to the Kremlin.
25:29These historical pictures will not be published.
25:33At the time,
25:34America considers Stalin to be one of the dictators of Europe.
25:37It isn't until 1943,
25:39once he has become an indispensable,
25:41therefore respectable ally,
25:43that Life magazine honors him on its cover.
25:53But in 1943,
25:55Margaret Burke White,
25:57filmed by the Soviet news cameras,
25:59seems impressed,
26:01yet cautious.
26:03My most remarkable day,
26:05since I have been here,
26:06was the day that I went to the Kremlin
26:08to photograph Stalin.
26:10And I saw before me
26:11a very unpretentious looking man,
26:14rather short,
26:15and with a face so serious that I almost thought
26:18it was carved out of granite
26:20until he smiled.
26:21And then I was surprised
26:23by the amount of charm and humor in his smile.
26:29But Stalin is still Stalin.
26:32His repression gets worse.
26:33He has military tribunals.
26:39All those who have backed down are shot en masse,
26:42despite their desperate explanations.
26:44Stalin has officers executed,
26:51including the commander,
26:52General Pavlov,
26:53accused of cowardice.
26:55The families are deported to concentration camps.
27:03Stalin gives the scorched earth order,
27:13like the Tsar against Napoleon.
27:15The Wehrmacht,
27:23like the Grande Armee,
27:24will find nothing on its path.
27:26Neither livestock,
27:28nor food,
27:29nor shelter.
27:30Hitler's soldiers,
27:46enraged,
27:47set fire to what little remains.
27:56The German advance continues,
27:59with worrying signs.
28:02The unbearable heat of this continental climate.
28:06The dust from the roads,
28:07which are more like paths,
28:09unsuitable for large motorized units.
28:11fuel transport is a nightmare.
28:17The men must be moved across immense distances,
28:24along with all the necessities.
28:26Spare parts,
28:42ammunition,
28:43food,
28:43and above all,
28:44drinking water.
28:46Hitler's generals want to make it quickly to Moscow,
28:49blowing through the defenses of Minsk and Smolensk,
28:54and encircling the trapped Soviet armies.
28:57Combats from July 9th to the 18th of 1941 are increasingly violent.
29:10August van Kagenek,
29:28a young lieutenant leading the attack in an armed reconnaissance vehicle,
29:32is in trouble.
29:33He says,
29:35the Russians fight well,
29:38but in disarray.
29:39Their tanks are inferior to our panzers.
29:42Our air force discourages them.
29:44Occasionally,
29:45their planes venture out to attack us,
29:47but they're quickly shot down.
29:49thousands of Soviets surrender in the ruins of Smolensk.
30:01And how many Russian soldiers have deserted?
30:12The commander-in-chief of the German Army Group Center,
30:16Field Marshal von Bock,
30:18writes,
30:18My automobile drives by an endless line of these wretches,
30:22crushed by fatigue and hunger.
30:26The sight of tens of thousands of Russian prisoners from Smolensk
30:31leaves me with a horrific impression.
30:33Some collapse from battle wounds.
30:44Hitler lets his prisoners starve to death,
30:46millions of them.
30:48He said he would,
30:49and he did.
30:50But this war crime will also fuel Soviet resistance.
30:56The Red Army demonstrates its astonishing ability to rebuild.
31:03Stalin has decided to sacrifice the Russians to save Russia and his hide.
31:18Groups of partisans with the peasants and workers harass and sabotage the Germans behind the lines.
31:24They're equally merciless towards the traitors whom they hang shouting down with fascist snakes.
31:45Lieutenant Von Kaganek writes,
32:03We knew that we were fighting a battle to the death with very little hope of escape.
32:12Hitler will now confront his generals who disagree with him.
32:18He wants to stop the offensive on Moscow to encircle the Russians in front of Kiev.
32:39Field Marshal von Bach and the renowned General Guderian try again to convince Hitler not to disperse his forces.
32:53Guderian later writes,
32:58This was Hitler's greatest mistake.
33:01Guderian, in his command 4x4, marked with his initial G,
33:10like his entire army, takes off towards Kiev with his panzers.
33:14His nickname is Schnelle Heinz, Fast Heinz.
33:20His supplies are slow to follow, especially drinking water.
33:25His soldiers, who drink anything, are sick with dysentery.
33:30The entire Wehrmacht has dysentery.
33:36Even Hitler is plagued by violent attacks of diarrhea.
33:43Hitler has insomnia and painful migraines and high blood pressure.
33:49His doctor claims it's psychosomatic.
33:52Could the weight of the war be too much for Mr. Wolf?
34:01At the Wolf's lair, the Duce's special train rolls in.
34:06The Fuhrer always seems happy to see his ally.
34:09The news deserves a smile,
34:11but Hitler presents his condolences to Mussolini,
34:14who has just lost his son, a bomber pilot killed in an accident.
34:19To cheer him up,
34:24Hitler organizes a sightseeing trip to the ruins of the Brest-Litovsk fortress,
34:30part of which is still off-limits.
34:32Clearly happy, Hitler shows off the seized equipment.
34:50The unfortunate Italians have already been sacrificed in the sands of the Libyan desert.
34:56The Italian soldiers hate the Germans who look down on them.
35:03They are now prisoners of the British who send them far away from fascist Italy to Canada.
35:09Hitler had sent the tanks of the Africa Corps,
35:19led by Aaron Rommel, the Nazi general and a propaganda idol to Libya,
35:25to launch an offensive toward Egypt and the Suez Canal
35:29during the Russian advance towards the Caucasus in a great pincer strategy.
35:37Hitler triumphs on the Eastern Front.
35:40He shows Mussolini that against the advice of his generals,
35:43by temporarily abandoning Moscow and diverting Guderian's troops,
35:47he captured four Russian armies in the greatest encirclement in history.
35:51Guderian now has 400,000 Russian prisoners on his hands.
36:09They're already famished.
36:11General Guderian attacks the last Russian defenses around Kiev.
36:27Capturing the Ukrainian capital delays the Germans' main objective,
36:31the road to Moscow, by a month.
36:41On September 19th, 1941, Guderian enters Kiev,
36:55and the German propaganda shows the entire world the extent of Hitler's new victory.
37:00German newsreels highlight the Ukrainian people's resentment against Stalin
37:12and the active support for Nazism from some.
37:23Yet most of the population is appalled,
37:25as witnessed by Vasily Grossman in his war diaries.
37:29He writes,
37:30They cry.
37:31As soon as they start to speak,
37:33they cry.
37:34And you want to cry in spite of yourself.
37:37What a tragedy.
37:43On September 29th,
37:4430,000 Jews are directed to a ravine
37:47which separates two districts of Kiev
37:49called Babiyar,
37:50the Old Women's Ravine.
37:52Thousands of them with their children are stripped of their clothes,
38:01which will be sold.
38:03German Lieutenant Hortz Pils witnesses the massacre of these innocent people.
38:08He writes,
38:10I saw how the children's little heads exploded.
38:16The Jews, who were to be executed afterwards, were also forced to see this.
38:22We heard terrible moans, prayers, and wails.
38:26The children screamed and cried the loudest.
38:33How could men do this?
38:35Tens and tens of thousands were killed in just a few days in Babiyar,
38:40Lubny, Minsk,
38:42and a hundred other places of torture.
38:44One and a half million men, women, elderly, and children
38:51are killed in this Holocaust by bullets
38:54until the Nazi leaders decide that it's going too slowly
38:58and using too much ammunition.
39:00The extermination camps, gas chambers, crematoriums,
39:05and six million victims will soon follow.
39:09Private Hermann Gieschen, a photographer with Infantry Division 105,
39:18writes to his wife.
39:19The Jews are being completely eradicated.
39:23Dear Hannah, don't think about it too much.
39:26It must be done.
39:32How could Hitler instill such hatred and violence in his troops?
39:38St. Petersburg, the name of the Tsar's former capital,
39:46was changed to Leningrad after Lenin, communism's guide.
39:52The city had retained the charm of the old Russia
39:55until the arrival of the Germans.
39:58Stalin has mobilized its terrorized population,
40:19caught between his ruthless police and the German scourge.
40:22day and night, women and children, young and old,
40:30frantically dig miles of anti-tank ditches around the city.
40:35But the Russians are unable to stop the Germans,
40:54who soon reached the city's gates.
40:57just as in a distant past,
41:01when the Teutonic Knights had arrived in the east,
41:04and the savior of the Slavs was named Alexander Nevsky.
41:13Centuries later, in 1941,
41:15it's the brilliant Russian general Georgi Zhukov
41:18who succeeds in containing the German advance.
41:23But Zhukov can't prevent the Germans
41:25from closing in on Leningrad.
41:29These wives of Russian soldiers do not yet know
41:32that they're about to live through an ordeal,
41:34which will be hidden for three years
41:36so as not to demoralize the Soviet people.
41:40Rare images that were shown throughout the country
41:43give the impression of a normal life.
41:47But the famine,
41:48which pushes hundreds of these unfortunate people
41:50to cannibalism,
41:51and the terrible cold of winters without heating,
41:54will result in a million victims.
42:00Three months after the start of Operation Barbarossa,
42:03Western Russia is occupied by the Germans.
42:06Stalin has ordered the emergency evacuation
42:12of 1,500 factories,
42:14a massive undertaking involving thousands of wagons
42:18and the relocation of workers.
42:23But since all men are at the front,
42:25the workers are primarily women.
42:28Tatiana Makrova recounts,
42:31we were immediately sent to factories
42:34that did not yet have a roof.
42:36We worked 10 hours a day,
42:38without a single break,
42:40and with only 300 grams of bread.
42:42Tatiana must produce 10 times,
42:45100 times more ammunition
42:47for what the Russians now call
42:49the Great Patriotic War.
42:51In Moscow,
42:56anti-aircraft balloons appear in the sky,
43:03along with the barricades of despair.
43:09In the Kremlin,
43:10doubt settles in.
43:15Stalin then raises the idea of a negotiated peace,
43:18like in 1918.
43:24Hitler hesitates.
43:30The soldiers of the Wehrmacht are exhausted.
43:35Will Hitler stop?
43:39No.
43:40Hitler treads on.
43:42On October 3rd, 1941,
43:45he proclaims,
43:46today,
43:47I can say that this enemy is already broken
43:50and will never rise again.
43:55The anthem rings out.
43:57Germany!
43:58Germany above all!
44:03Just how far will Hitler take Germany?
