1:00:01
The stink of their diseases
does not stop at the walls.
1:00:03
And you ship them up to us
by the thousands to deal with.
1:00:06
What are we to do?
1:00:08
We have no place to put them.
1:00:11
We have no more place to put our own.
We cannot shoot 3.5 million Jews.
1:00:14
We cannot poison them,
and we cannot use them.
1:00:17
You'll have Maj. Lange and his men
come in with their special methods.
1:00:20
- How many Rigas do we have to have?
- Build the wall higher.
1:00:25
What we are asking, before you flood us
with all of these Jews...
1:00:28
...let us first clean out ours, empty our
ghettoes into whatever you have for them.
1:00:32
Military, too.
1:00:35
Mass shootings by our groups
create morale problems...
1:00:38
...especially when the Jew is
a German Jew...
1:00:40
...who is intellectually superior
to the Russian Jew.
1:00:43
Even with local civilians cooperating,
mass slaughter leaves a bad taste.
1:00:47
I can so testify.
1:00:49
We've had to deal with the backlash
when it comes to German ones.
1:00:52
If your method of disposing
all the Jews diverts military units...
1:00:54
...and rolling stock from the Eastern Front,
then it is a stupid choice.
1:00:58
Recognizing the priority
for ridding ourselves of the Jews...
1:01:01
I'm not arguing priority,
but method and expediency.
1:01:04
I'm sorry, why can't you shoot them?
1:01:07
Didn't you hear him? It is the worst thing
for our soldiers to be doing.
1:01:11
They are women and children,
and soldiers have a sense of honor.
1:01:14
Plenty of honor in following orders.
1:01:15
- Would you like to volunteer?
- Enthusiastically.
1:01:18
- I will.
- You will not.
1:01:20
Eleven million, even half that,
executed in small batches...
1:01:23
...would be asinine,
for the reasons Dr. Meyer mentioned.
1:01:26
Inefficient use of time, troops,
equipment, bullets. No.
1:01:29
As Maj. Lange will learn,
using gas is much cheaper and less public.
1:01:34
Please.
1:01:37
The T4 euthanasia program
has used injections...
1:01:40
...but most effectively...
1:01:42
...a carbon-monoxide gas.
1:01:45
We began using it on Polish mental
patients in Brandenburg in January, 1940.
1:01:50
An area is constructed
that resembles a shower room or a bath.
1:01:55
The subjects are brought in naked,
as though for a shower...
1:01:59
...and outside, stainless-steel tanks
pump in pure carbon monoxide...
