:45:01
Hitler: What a thrill
to play the Führer--

:45:03
for 12 years,
:45:05
the supreme Father figure.
:45:10
On to surpass
even Lord Grimm.

:45:16
They made me
''Man of the Year.''

:45:19
They made you what?
:45:20
Time Magazine,
they made me ''Man of the Year.''

:45:23
l was on the cover
for six issues.

:45:26
l conquered Poland, Norway,
Denmark, France.

:45:29
Americans love a winner.
:45:33
Of course, it doesn't
mean a thing.

:45:35
They made Roosevelt
:45:37
''Man of the Year''
three times!

:45:39
And he was a cripple.
:45:52
Goebbels:
Look at Himmler.

:45:53
Hitler: You're not exactly
Clark Gable yourself,

:45:56
my little doctor.
:45:58
Himmler looks like a weasel.
:46:00
Goebbels:
Making our enemies look bad

:46:02
was often easier
than making us--

:46:05
Hitler:
The perfect Aryan Superman.

:46:08
A weak stomach
in the presence of violence.

:46:10
Woo!
Heinrich Himmler.

:46:15
Didn't anyone notice?
:46:17
He was ruthless,
:46:19
but not careless.
:46:21
And Hitler-loyal.
:46:23
Who better to run the SS?
:46:25
Art must be plausible.
:46:27
lf you wrote a script
about Aryan superiority

:46:30
and cast Himmler,
people would laugh,

:46:32
walk out of the theatre.
:46:34
On the political stage,
:46:37
you can do anything.
:46:42
Let's put up another reel.
:46:44
lmages to blur facts.
:46:49
Hitler: ln World War l,
l was a messenger.

:46:51
l never killed anyone.
:46:53
l am a vegetarian.
:46:55
l never eat dead animals.
:46:57
l loathe big game hunters--
:46:59
a gruesome bloodbath.
