"We succeeded beyond our wildest dreams. "
1:04:04
Why did we succeed, Your Honor?
1:04:09
What about the rest of the world?
1:04:14
Did it not know the intentions
of the Third Reich?
1:04:18
Did it not hear the words
of Hitler's broadcasts all over the world?
1:04:22
Did it not read his intentions
in Mein Kampf...
1:04:25
published in every corner of the world?
1:04:29
Where is the responsibility
of the Soviet Union...
1:04:32
who signed in 1939 the pact with Hitler...
1:04:36
enabled him to make war?
1:04:39
Are we now to find Russia guilty?
1:04:43
Where is the responsibility of the Vatican...
1:04:46
who signed in 1933 the concordat
with Hitler...
1:04:50
giving him his first tremendous prestige?
1:04:54
Are we now to find the Vatican guilty?
1:04:58
Where is the responsibility
of the world leader Winston Churchill...
1:05:02
who said in an open letter
to the London Times in 1938:
1:05:10
"Were England to suffer a national disaster,
I should pray to God...
1:05:13
"to send a man of the strength of mind
and will of an Adolf Hitler. "
1:05:17
Are we now
to find Winston Churchill guilty?
1:05:21
Where is the responsibility
of those American industrialists...
1:05:24
who helped Hitler to rebuild his armaments,
and profited by that rebuilding?
1:05:30
Are we now to find
the American industrialists guilty?
1:05:33
No, Your Honor.
1:05:37
Germany alone is not guilty.
1:05:39
The whole world is as responsible for Hitler
as Germany.
1:05:42
It is an easy thing
to condemn one man in the dock.
1:05:45
It's easy to condemn the German people...
1:05:47
to speak of the basic flaw
in the German character...
1:05:49
that allowed Hitler to rise to power,
but also...
1:05:52
comfortably ignore
the basic flaw of character...
1:05:55
that made the Russians sign pacts with him,
Winston Churchill praise him...
1:05:58
American industrialists profit by him.
