- [Narrator] Lorentz On Film continues with the documentary film, Nuremberg.

In the name of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, General Rudenko presents counts three and four, charging that all the defendants committed war crimes in Germany and in all those countries occupied by Germany.

[speaking German] - [Translator 1] The Nazi conspirators committed crimes against enemy armies, against prisoners of war, against the civilians of occupied land.

They believed in the barbaric doctrine of total war, and considered themselves freed from the restraints of international law or the established customs of war.

Their ruthless policies were ordered in directives like this one from General Reinecke of the Wehrmacht High Command.

"The Bolshevist soldier has lost all claim to treatment as an honorable opponent.

Active or passive resistance must be broken immediately by force of arms.

Prisoners of war attempting to escape are to be fired on without previous challenge.

No warning shots must be fired."

More proof of this savage Nazi policy comes from the affidavit of Kurt Lindow, former Gestapo officer: - [Narrator 1] "There existed in the prisoner of war camps on the Eastern Front small screening teams headed by lower ranking members of the Gestapo.

It was the duty of these teams to segregate the prisoners of war who were candidates for execution according to the audits that had been given, and to report them to the office of the Gestapo."

- [Translator 1] And a letter from Defendant Rosenberg to Defendant Keitel in 1942 stated clearly: - [Narrator 1] "A large part of the Soviet prisoners of war have starved or died because of the hazards of the weather.

In many cases, prisoners of war could no longer keep up in the march because of hunger and exhaustion.

In numerous camps, no shelter for the prisoners was provided at all.

Even tools were not made available to dig holes or caves."

- [Translator 1] Yet when some objected that this treatment violated the Geneva Convention, Defendant Keitel answered with this memorandum: - [Narrator 1] "We are concerned with the destruction of an ideology, therefore I approve and back the measures."

- [Translator 1] This is proved by the testimony of General Lahousen, who worked under Admiral Canaris in the op there.

General Lahousen attended conferences where crimes against whole populations were plotted in advance by the Nazi conspirators.

Will you please explain exactly what took place at this conference in the Fuhrer's train?

[speaking German] - [Narrator 1] First of all, Canaris had a short talk with von Ribbentrop, particularly as regards the Polish region.

Secondly, Canaris spoke vehemently against the measures that he, Canaris, had found out about to wit the project that shooting and extermination measures that were being directed against the Polish intelligentsia, nobility and clergy as well as all elements that could be regarded as embodiment of the National Resistance Movement.

[car engine whirs] Canaris said at the time, more or less verbatim, that the world will at some time make the armed forces under whose eye at these events have occurred also responsible for these events.

[fire crackling] Defendant Frank, Nazi Governor of Poland, was another of the conspirators guilty of directing mass murder.

In his diary, he speaks of: - [Narrator 1] "Taking advantage of the focus of attention on the Western front by carrying out wholesale liquidation of thousands of Poles."

- [Translator 1] These atrocities were not restricted to the East.

Here is the proof in the village of Oradour sur Glane, France.

[somber orchestral music] Here is the proof in the town of Bande, Belgium.

[somber orchestral music] Here is the proof in the San Callisto caves, Italy, where 350 hostages were carefully listed... [ominous orchestral music] ... and systematically murdered.

[ominous orchestral music continues] And here is Lidice in Czechoslovakia.

In blind retaliation for the assassination of SS man Heydrich, the Nazis murdered all Lidice's men and sent their women and children into slavery in Germany.

[fire crackling] But this was not enough.

Boys of the Arbeitsdienst were moved into the ruins of Lidice and ordered to level the village to the ground.

[orchestral music] [explosions] Lidice was to be the Nazis' example to all occupied people.

But more terrible still were the concentration camps which, from the beginning, had been the conspirators' chief weapon against opposition of every kind.

German anti-Nazis were the first victims.

What with the war, their numbers swelled to include citizens of all the nations of Europe.

Their fate is described by witness Rudolf Hess.

- [Translator 2] "I commanded Auschwitz until the 1st of December, 1943, and estimate that at least two and a half million victims were executed and exterminated there by gassing and burning.

At least another half million succumb to starvation and disease, making a total dead of about 3 million.

Included among the executed and burned were approximately 20,000 Russian prisoners of war who were delivered at Auschwitz in Wehrmacht transports.

The remainder of the total number included about 100,000 German Jews and great numbers of citizens from Holland, France, Belgium, Poland, Hungary, Czechoslovakia, Greece, and other countries.

[ominous orchestral music] Medical experiments too were standard procedure at many concentration camps.

These included lowering the body temperature to 28 degrees centigrade, high altitude tests and pressure chambers, experiments with poisoned bullets and contagious diseases, and even sterilization experiments.

This was genocide, the premeditated destruction of entire people.

Genocide, the direct result of the Nazis' claim that they had the right to destroy the party's opposition.

Tomorrow, the world, dead or alive.

In the name of the French Republic, Monsieur de Menthon closes counts three and four, the final charges of the indictment.

[speaking French] - [Translator 1] All the defendants committed crimes against humanity including the murder and persecution of all people opposed to the Nazi party and the enslavement, exploitation, and deportation of civilian population.

The slave labor policy was the responsibility of Defendant Sauckel who admitted in 1944: - [Translator 2] "Out of the 5 million workers who arrived in Germany, not even 200,000 came voluntarily."

- [Translator 1] Forced labor often meant brutal and degrading treatment, for Sauckel himself suggested: - [Translator 2] "All the men must be fed, sheltered, and treated in such a way as to exploit them to the highest possible extent at the lowest possible expenditure."

- [Translator 1] And Defendant Bormann added: - [Translator 2] "The Slavs had to work for us and so far as we do not need them, they may die."

- [Translator 1] Slavery was only one aspect of Nazi exploitation.

Defendant Göring, in a talk with German Occupation Authorities in 1942, discussed another: plunder.

- [Translator 2] "God knows we are not sent out to work for the welfare of the people in your charge but to get the utmost out of them, so that the German people can live.

This everlasting concern about foreign people must cease now, once and forever.

I have here before me reports and what you're expected to deliver.

It makes no difference to me in this case if you say that your people will starve."

- [Translator 1] But Nazi crimes against humanity were not limited to foreign peoples.

Defendant Frick, as Minister of Interior, directed a program aimed at aged, insane, or incurable Germans, the so-called useless eaters.

Thousands were committed to special institutions, few ever returned.

[somber orchestral music] Evidence proves they were murdered because they were useless to the plans of the Nazi conspirators.

But perhaps the greatest crime against humanity, the Nazis committed against the Jews.

A campaign of hate and murder that goes to the heart of the Nazi movement.

[shouting German] [soldiers shouting German] [speaking German] - [Translator 2] "German citizens are only those of German or related blood willing to serve the German Reich and people.

Marriages between Jews and citizens of German or related blood are prohibited."

[congregation shouts in German] [inaudible] - [Translator 1] Dear General Stroop, in charge of the Warsaw Ghetto in 1943 had learned his Nazi lessons well.

In a secret report, he said: - [Translator 3] "The Reichsführer-SS ordered on the 23rd of April, 1943, the cleaning out of the ghetto with utter ruthlessness.

[explosion] I therefore decided to destroy and burn down the entire ghetto.

Jews frequently left their hideouts but occasionally remained in the burning buildings and jumped out at the windows only when the heat became unbearable.

[orchestral music] Life in the sewers was not pleasant after the first week.

Tear gas bombs were thrown into the manholes, the Jews were driven out and captured.

Countless numbers of Jews were liquidated in sewers and bunkers through blasting.

The longer resistance continued, the tougher became the members of the Wachen-SS, police and Wehrmacht would always discharge their duties in an exemplary manner.

- [Translator 1] Little by little, the Nazis were reaching what they called the Final Solution, the total extermination of the Jews of Europe.

Hess described the process well: - [Translator 3] "We had two SS doctors on duty at Auschwitz to examine the incoming transports of prisoners.

The prisoners would be marched past one of the doctors who would make spot decisions as they walked by.

Those who were fit for work were sent into the camp.

Others were sent immediately to the extermination plant.

Children of tender years were invariably exterminated since by reasons of their youth, they were unable to work.

We endeavor to fool them into thinking they were to go through a delousing process."

- [Announcer] The defense begins.

They called 61 witnesses and introduced 38,000 affidavits on the defendants' behalf.

They submit 136,000 more affidavits on behalf of the SS, 10,000 on behalf of the SA, 7,000 on behalf of the SD, 3,000 on behalf of the General Staff and OKW, 2,000 on behalf of the Gestapo.

These attorneys were personally selected by the defendants.

Many are well-known German lawyers and each now rises to plead acquittal for his clients.

Some make blanket denials of all guilt.

[speaking German] - [Translator 1] Some of the defendants had, without doubt, a great influence in those spheres which did not interest Hitler.

They had no part whatsoever in the great decisions concerning war and peace, armistice and peace offers, et cetera.

- [Announcer] Other attorneys lead their clients through a carefully prepared defense.

Here, Streicher is examined.

[speaking German] - [Translator 1] I will now continue.

It has also been stated by the prosecution that Himmler and Kaltenbrunner would have had no one to carry out the orders to kill if you hadn't made that propaganda and if you hadn't conducted the education of the German people in that sense.

[speaking German] I don't believe that those who had been given the order by the Führer to carry out the killings or to pass in order to kill that those people would have been made to do this by my periodical.

Hitler's book, Mein Kampf, existed and the contents of that book were the authority, the cause.

- [Announcer] Next comes Kaltenbrunner.

[speaking German] - [Translator 2] You are accused of establishing Mauthausen, of inspecting and visiting this camp regularly.

The witness Höriger testified having seen you in this camp and further testified having seen you at the inspection of gas chambers and while these gas chambers were in operation.

[speaking German] The testimony is wrong.

Every concentration camp in the Reich, of which I know anything, was established by Himmler through Paul.

- [Announcer] Later, the prosecution is allowed to cross examine the defendant.

Rosenberg is questioned.

- [Translator 1] Did your ministry force people to leave their homes to go to Germany, to work for the German state?

[speaking German] - [Translator 3] It is true that force was used and it is not denied that some terrible encroachment occurred.

- [Announcer] Now, Raeder takes the stand.

- [Translator 1] On the 23rd of May, in the Reich's chancellery, Hitler said that he would give you an indoctrination on the political situation and he said, "we are left with a decision to attack Poland at the first opportunity."

Did you still think that he had no aggressive intentions?

[speaking German] - [Translator 3] I believed that for a long time.

Justice-General Jodl said after Hitler had solved the Czech problem purely politically, it was to be hoped he would also be able to solve the Polish question without bloodshed.

I believed that until the last moment, until the 22nd of August.

- [Announcer] Keitel is cross-examined.

- [Translator 1] Yesterday, your counsel showed you this order dated 16th September, 1941.

It said that it is necessary to take immediate cruel measures and that human life in the East is absolutely worthless.

You remember the basic idea of the order, that human life costs absolutely nothing?

Please answer the question.

You signed this order with this statement?

[Keitel agrees in German] - [Announcer] Next, Jodl.

- [Translator 1] Do you remember any other reason for such great mortality among the Soviet prisoners of war?

[speaking German] - [Translator 2] I didn't know the reason for this mass murder but they seemed to be completely wrong, that I do know.

- [Announcer] Now, von Ribbentrop.

- [Translator 1] Are you telling the tribunal on your own that you knew nothing about the effect of military pressure on Austria?

[speaking German] - [Translator 2] I wish to stress again that I knew nothing about military measures and that if I had known something, I wouldn't see any reason not to say so.

But it is a fact that during the days before and after the Hitler-Schuschnigg meeting, I was so busy taking over the Foreign Office that I could give only slight attention to the Austrian problem.

- [Announcer] Then Göring is cross-examined.

- [Translator 1] At the end of the meeting, you used the following words, didn't you?

"German jewelry must as a penalty forfeit 1 billion Marks, then the pigs won't commit anymore crimes."

[Göring agrees in German] Do you still say that neither Hitler nor you knew of the policy to exterminate the Jews?

[speaking German] - [Translator 2] I already have said that not even approximately did I know to what degree this thing took place.

- [Translator 1] You did not know to what degree but you knew there was a policy that aimed at the liquidation of the Jews?

[speaking German] - [Translator 2] No, not liquidation of the Jews, I only knew that certain perpetrations had taken place.

- [Announcer] Speer takes the stand.

- [Translator 1] You were present on April 23rd, 1945, when Hitler received the telegram from Göring suggesting that he take over power.

What did Hitler say on that occasion?

[speaking German] - [Translator 3] Hitler was most excited about the contents of the telegram and he expects them to have them in a very clear manner about Göring.

He said that he knew for some time that Göring had failed, that he was corrupt, that he was a drug addict.

It was typical of Hitler's attitude towards the entire problem however, that he followed the statement up by saying that he can, nevertheless, negotiate the capitulation.

He stated in an offhand manner, "it doesn't really matter who does it".

This disregard for the German nation was expressed in the way he said this.

- [Announcer] After months of examination and cross-examination, several defendants make final statements to the tribunal.

Frank is first.

[speaking German] - [Translator 2] I, myself, speaking from the very depths of my sentiments and from the experience of five months of this trial want to say this.

Now that I have gained the last insight into all that which has been committed in the way of dreadful atrocities, I see the terrible guilt within me.

- [Announcer] Funk declares: [speaking German] - [Translator 2] When these measures of terror and violence against Jews were put up to me, I suffered a nervous breakdown because at the moment it came to my mind with full clearness that from here on, the catastrophe took its course all the way up to the terrible and atrocious things about which we have heard, and about which I knew only in part at the time of my imprisonment.

I felt ashamed and guilty at that moment and I feel the same way today but it's too late.

- [Announcer] Now, Schirach speaks: [speaking German] - [Translator 2] It is my guilt that I educated German youth for a man who committed murders millionfold.

[Announcer] Schacht is next.

[speaking German] - [Translator 2] Everything he'd promised to the German people and thereby to himself, he did not afterwards keep.

He promised equal rights for all citizens and without regard to their capabilities, his adherence put privileges before all other citizens.

He promised to fight against political lies and together with his minister, Goebbels, and by himself he never did anything but disseminate political lies and political frauds.

He released criminals and put them into service.

He did everything in a way of not keeping his promises.

He deceived the world, Germany and me.

- [Announcer] Speer once more.

- [Translator 1] The tremendous danger contained in this totalitarian system only became really clear the moment we were approaching the end.

Everything that has happened during this trial, everything you have seen in the way of orders which were carried out without any hesitation that after all turned out to be mistaken.

That is why this trial must contribute to the prevention of such distorted wars in the future and to the establishment of principles for human cooperation.

- [Announcer] And Keitel again.

[speaking German] - [Translator 1] I erred.

I was not able to prevent what should have been prevented, that is my guilt.

I can only wish that out of a clear recognition of the causes of the disastrous methods and the terrible consequences of this war that will arise for the German people a new hope for a better future and the community of nations.

- [Announcer] Now, Frank.

[speaking German] - [Translator 2] We call on the German people, whose representatives we were, to abandon this wave which is doomed to failure and the will and justice of God and which is doomed for everyone who may try to follow it anywhere in the world.

- [Announcer] The last defendant to speak is Fritzsche.

[speaking German] - [Translator 2] You of the prosecution did not expect anything good from Hitler and you are amazed about the extent of what really happened but then try to understand the indignation of those who did expect something good from Hitler and were betrayed.

I am one of these betrayed.

- [Announcer] Finally, both defense and prosecution sum up their arguments for the tribunal.

- [Translator 2] An aggressor can be branded only by the world's conscience.

That supreme organ of humanity must have not only real but also moral authority.

Its impartial judgment must be looked upon with general confidence.

It must stand above the contesting parties.

- [Announcer] In the name of the United States of America, Justice Jackson delivers his summation.

- [Translator 1] According to the testimony of each defendant, these men saw no evil, spoke none, and none was uttered in their presence.

If we combine only the stories from the front bench, this is the ridiculous composite picture of Hitler's government that emerges: it was composed of a number two man who never suspected the Jewish extermination program, although he signed over a score of anti-Semitic decrees; a number three man who was merely an innocent middleman, transmitting Hitler's orders without even reading them like a postman or delivery boy; the Foreign Minister who knew little of foreign affairs and nothing of foreign policy; a Field Marshal who issued orders to the armed forces but had no idea of the results they would have in practice; the Security Chief who was of the impression that the policing functions of his Gestapo and SD were somewhat on the lines of directing traffic; a party philosopher who had no idea of the violence which his philosophy was inciting in the 20th century; a Governor General of Poland who reigned but did not rule; a Gauleiter of Franconia whose occupation was to pour forth filthy writings about the Jews but who had no idea that anybody would read them; a Minister of the Interior who knew not even what went on in his own office, much less the interior of his own department and nothing at all about the interior of Germany; a Reichsbank president, who was totally ignorant of what went in and out of the vault of his bank.

To say of these men that they are not guilty, it would be as true to say there has been no war, there are no slain, there has been no crime.

- [Announcer] In the name of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, Sir Hartley Shawcross delivers his summation.

- [Translator 1] This trial must form a milestone in the history of civilization, not only marking that right shall in the end triumph over evil but also that ordinary people of the world, and I make no distinction here between friend and foe, are now determined that the individual must transcend the state.

The state and the law are made for man, that through them he may achieve a fuller life, a higher purpose and a greater dignity.

- [Announcer] In the name of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republic, General Rudenko delivers his summation.

- [Translator 1] And when we ask, have the charges against the defendants been proved before the court?

Have the defendants been convicted of their guilt?

There is only one answer, their crimes have been proved.

Neither the statements of the defendant nor the arguments of the defense were able to refute our grave accusation.

It has been impossible to cast doubt on events which actually took place.

The truth cannot be challenged.

That is the real meaning of this trial.

That is the lasting result of our long and strenuous effort.

- [Announcer] In the name of the French Republic, Monsieur de Ribes delivers his summation.

- [Translator 1] When this international trial is closed and the principal war criminals sentenced, we shall go back to our own country.

The fate of these men now lies entirely with your conscience.

This is beyond our competence.

Our task is finished.

Now it is for you in the silence of your deliberation to listen to innocent blood crying for justice.

- [Announcer] Lord Justice Lawrence, Great Britain, Mr. Francis Biddle, United States, Monsieur de Vabres, France, and Major General Nikitchenko, USSR, and their alternates prepare the verdict.

It will be based on the opinion of the majority.

[regal orchestral music] On October 1st, 1946, the verdict is delivered by Lord Justice Lawrence, president of the tribunal.

- [Translator 1] Of the organizations, the SS, SD, Gestapo and leadership core are found guilty.

The high command, SA and Reich Cabinet, not guilty.

As for the individual, Wilhelm Herrmann Göring, guilty of conspiracy, crimes against peace, war crimes, and crimes against humanity, death by hanging.

Rudolf Hess, guilty of conspiracy and crimes against peace, life imprisonment.

Joachim von Ribbentrop, guilty of conspiracy, crimes against peace, war crimes, and crimes against humanity, death by hanging.

Ernst Kaltenbrunner, guilty of war crimes and crimes against humanity, death by hanging.

Alfred Rosenberg, guilty of conspiracy, crimes against peace, war crimes, and crimes against humanity, death by hanging.

Arthur Seyss-Inquart, guilty of crimes against peace, war crimes and crimes against humanity, death by hanging.

Hans Fritzsche, not guilty on this indictment, released.

Martin Bormann, tried in absentia, guilty of war crimes and crimes against humanity, death by hanging.

- [Announcer] The trial is over.

[somber orchestral music] Seven begin their prison sentences.

Göring chooses to die by his own hand.

The other ten wait for the gallows.

[somber orchestral music crescendos] In Nuremberg, the people of the world found out what happened and why but Nuremberg is more than an answer to a question.

As Justice Jackson said, "this trial is part of the great effort to make the peace more secure.

It constitutes juridical action of a kind to ensure that those who sought a war will pay for it personally.

Nuremberg stands as a warning to all those who plan and wage aggressive war."

[climactic orchestra music] - I feel sure that anybody, anybody that we would call a civilized human being must be tremendously shaken by seeing that film.

And we all have to feel it and react to it and make up our own minds about it.

Just nothing one can say about it.

- [Leo] Well, I have seen it far too many times and of course we haven't seen here what is a cumulative of just death upon death and body upon body and 500,000 feet of it.

Yet the more I see it, still it doesn't sink in, you know, the back of your head, that here was a country half Protestant, half Catholic, a country with great legend of freedom and freedom of spirit and how it got into this degradation, although we've seen how, it can't get it inside you.

I think if you'd allow me, probably the closest statement is in this book of Odd Nansen's.

Nansen's a Norwegian architect who was put in a concentration camp for no reason that anybody could see except God of his father who was a famous explorer and was responsible for the Nansen passport after the First World War which allowed all the displaced people the leg of nature's passport.

And as far as Nansen knows himself, the only reason he was tortured was just because he was his father's son.

It just seemed to be quite a far stretch for the Nazi.

But if you would allow me, I'd like to read his opening and closing paragraphs because he was subjected to this horror.

His first paragraph, "But worst of all is the thought of the millions of dry eyes staring hopelessly into the future.

Eyes that have no more tears, eyes to which no joy, no sorrow gives warmth or luster anymore.

Dead, cold, unfeeling eyes stiffened by gazing on the incomprehensible brutality of fellow men."

He closes his book with the paragraph that I subscribe to.

"The worst crime you can commit today against yourself and society is to forget what happened and sink back into indifference.

What happened was worse than you have any idea of and it was the indifference of mankind that let it take place."

- Amen.

I also think this makes a point that's applicable not only to this Nuremberg film but to all of your films in another way.

Besides all the other things they are, Leo, now I think historical documents of a sort which are absolutely irreplaceable and which will help us not to forget important things.

Mr. Lorentz, I want to thank you for everybody who has had or will have an opportunity to see and enjoy these programs.

First of all, for your films and I don't think I need to tell you how we value and appreciate them but also for your time and for all the things you've had to tell us.

The fascinating anecdotes about people and events surrounding the making of the films and the very interesting descriptions about how a documentary film is actually put together.

I think perhaps the most important element that's come out of these programs is an idea, the idea of documentary filmmaking as a public service, which in your work and what you've told us, you exemplify as much as anybody.

We are very grateful to you.

- Well, Mr. Rockwell, I thank you.

As you know, I'd rather be behind one of those cameras than in front but this has been a most enjoyable time because your people are good and it's a decent enterprise you're engaged in and it's been most enjoyable to work with you all and I thank you.

- We started this series at the beginning of Franklin Roosevelt's presidency, a time of national crisis when problems of unemployment, city slums and agricultural maladjustments had shocked the country to its core.

Up to that time, the magical medium of motion picture was confined to Hollywood and it took the films of Leo Lorentz to demonstrate how government could use this new form of information to bring critical national problems before the public, with excellence and honesty, and with a reality and forcefulness which no other medium was able to command.

Today, we are faced with questions which are equally critical but of a different order.

Although some of our domestic problems persist in new forms, what cries out to be communicated are the problems which relate to international affairs, how we live with the atom, a new technology, how we live with people and once remote parts of the world whose destiny is now intrinsically bound up with ours.

These questions are far removed from the possibility of firsthand knowledge for most of us.

More and more, they're left exclusively to experts in science, in warfare, in economics or administration.

We have come to the point where decisions affecting the whole nation or many nations are being made by a few people on the basis of information with which they alone are familiar.

Only government itself is in a position to provide and interpret much of this information.

If the government does not inform and arouse the awareness of the citizens on matters of general importance, it will weaken the process of informed public discussion on which the strength and vitality of democracy itself depends.

Any program which might be undertaken to meet this need will require the highest order of excellence and effectiveness.

We hope we have shown in these programs that the informational film and television can be an important instrument in the service of public policy.

[regal trumpet music] In the last of four programs on the work of Leo Lorentz, you have seen his film, Nuremberg, completed in 1946 and recently released for its first American showing.

Joining Mr. Lorentz for these discussions has been Charles Rockwell, filmmaker.
