May it please the tribunal?
1:58:16
Yesterday the tribunal
witnessed some films.
1:58:21
They were...
1:58:24
shocking films...
1:58:27
devastating films.
1:58:30
As a German...
1:58:35
I feel ashamed that such things
could have taken place in my country.
1:58:42
There can never be a justification for them.
1:58:46
Not in generations...
1:58:50
not in centuries.
1:58:59
But I do think it was wrong...
1:59:04
indecent...
1:59:07
and terribly unfair of the prosecution...
1:59:11
to show such films in this case...
1:59:15
in this court...
1:59:17
at this time...
1:59:18
against these defendants!
1:59:21
And I cannot protest too strongly...
1:59:25
against such tactics.
1:59:33
What is the prosecution trying to prove?
1:59:37
Is it trying to prove
that the German people as a whole...
1:59:40
were responsible for these events?
1:59:43
Or that they were even aware of them?
1:59:45
Because if he is...
1:59:49
he's not stating facts...
1:59:53
and he knows he's not.
1:59:58
The secrecy of the operations,
the geographical location of the camps...
