:37:03
I feel ashamed that such things
could have taken place in my country.
:37:10
There can never be a justification for them.
:37:14
Not in generations...
:37:18
not in centuries.
:37:27
But I do think it was wrong...
:37:32
indecent...
:37:35
and terribly unfair of the prosecution...
:37:39
to show such films in this case...
:37:43
in this court...
:37:45
at this time...
:37:46
against these defendants!
:37:49
And I cannot protest too strongly...
:37:53
against such tactics.
:38:01
What is the prosecution trying to prove?
:38:05
Is it trying to prove
that the German people as a whole...
:38:08
were responsible for these events?
:38:11
Or that they were even aware of them?
:38:13
Because if he is...
:38:17
he's not stating facts...
:38:21
and he knows he's not.
:38:26
The secrecy of the operations,
the geographical location of the camps...
:38:31
the breakdown of communications
in the last days of the war...
:38:35
when the exterminations
rose into the millions...
:38:37
show only too clearly
that he is not telling the truth!
:38:42
The truth is...
:38:44
that these brutalities were brought about
by the few extremists.
:38:48
The criminals.
:38:52
Very few Germans knew what was going on.
:38:55
Very few.
:38:58
None of us knew what was happening...
