What do you think of Ernst Janning?
:03:07
I really am not at liberty to discuss the case
outside of the courtroom.

:03:11
Yes, of course.
:03:18
I knew Ernst Janning a little.
:03:20
We used to attend the same concerts.
:03:23
I remember there was a reception given
for Wagner's daughter-in-law.

:03:26
Hitler was there.
:03:28
Ernst Janning was there with his wife.
:03:31
She was very beautiful...
:03:33
very small, very delicate.
:03:36
She's dead now.
:03:38
Hitler was quite taken with her.
:03:41
He made advances towards her
during the reception.

:03:44
He used to do things like that
in a burst of emotion.

:03:47
I will never forget
the way Ernst Janning cut him down.

:03:51
I don't think anybody ever did it
to him quite that way.

:03:54
He said, "Chancellor...
:03:56
"I do not object so much
that you are so ill-mannered.

:04:00
"I do not object to that so much.
:04:04
"I object that you are such a bourgeois. "
:04:07
Hitler whitened, stared at Janning,
and walked out.

:04:15
- Is the coffee really all right?
- Fine, thank you.

:04:22
Men like Janning...
:04:24
my husband and I...
:04:26
we hated Hitler. I want you to know that.
:04:29
And he hated us.
:04:31
He hated my husband
because he was a real war hero...

:04:34
and the little corporal couldn't tolerate that.
:04:38
And he hated him
because he married into nobility...

:04:41
which was my family.
:04:43
Hitler was in awe of the nobility,
but he hated it.

:04:48
That's why it's so ironic, what happened.
:04:56
You know what happened to my husband,
don't you?

:04:58
Yes.
