- Hans, are you there? - Yes, why?
Stop getting wet! Let's go get warm!
We move on, to the building of imperial security.
We need to be at this point before the airstrike.
Well, why are we sitting? Forward!
Forward! Forward! Forward!
Faster! Faster! Faster! Come on! Come on! Come on!
Forward! Forward! Forward!
Titov! Where?
Come after me!
Come on! Come on! Forward! Forward!
Come on! To the shelter!
Quiet, quiet!
Here. Come on.
Calm down.
Yura! Titov!
Hello Kolka!
Remember, mum said when there's no one to share with,
sit down and write a letter to the closest person.
Even if you don't know if it will.
I am in Berlin.
A long column of captured Fritz is walking past.
Let's get moving!
The war is over, but the soul is empty.
There is no strength to rejoice, and it is not clear how to live on.
I suddenly realised that I really want to write to you.
You are the only one I have left.
Kolka, remember: no matter what, I will definitely find you.
I don't know how, I don't know where, but I'll find it.
No, no, no, I can help you!
I'm looking for a job.
You are now the power. I appeal to power.
You must give paper.
Let's go.
Hello, I'm listening.
Here, print it.
- Two copies? - Two.
- Volgin, the major is calling. - Now.
You will have paper.
Did you call, Comrade Major?
Do you have a brother?
That's right, he disappeared in the 42nd without a trace.
It came to your field mail, forwarded here.
I think about you all the time. I don't know when I'll see you...
I really miss you, Tanya and Igorka!
Kolka. Kolka!
Well, he said that one.
All letters to mother, not to me. How many of them.
Nothing, the main thing, he writes. The main thing is alive.
So... Nuremberg. Is this the American zone?
American. Everyone is gathering there now to secure the tribunal.
The entire Nazi elite in the Nuremberg prison.
There will be a grand tribunal, an international one.
We insisted on it!
So, if he is in Nuremberg, then only on the affairs of the tribunal.
There now people are required for operational work.
There and I have an order to send. Who will I send?
I don't have extra people.
Allow me, Comrade Major!
- What? - To Nuremberg.
Why did it happen?
Well, you say: people are needed there!
I have languages, operational experience! I'll fit in there!
- Which Nuremberg? You will fit in here!
Comrade Major! Well brother! The only one! 4 years no see!
Right now, I'll take my best employee and let him go!
Evgenich!
NUREMBERG
Comrade Captain, Private Taraburkin.
I'm behind you. Allow me.
Hold on to me.
- Sorry! - Sorry!
Comrade Captain!
Have a seat.
Herr Knud?
Are you lawyer Werner Knud?
I was not told that we would be met.
Our task is to provide the best conditions for work in the tribunal.
Helmut Lange.
Very nice.
- Your wife? - This is Brigitte. Nanny Elsie.
I'm fascinated. And this, then, is young Elsie Knud?
Do not be afraid. Excuse me?
I promise. You will have a great time in Nuremberg! Come on!
your doll? Hold on!
Elsie!
Who you are? What you need?
Let's talk.
Again the saboteurs are operating.
Completely brazen.
This is all the Nazi underground.
Oh! And the Americans are right there.
And so it is every day.
Welcome to Nuremberg!
This officer will live here. Verstehen?
Have you come to judge us?
Nemchura.
So. Comrade Colonel will be waiting for you in his office tomorrow.
It's calm there!
Well, what does he need? Zaitsev?
Comrade Colonel, I only speak German...
Allow me, Comrade Colonel! He says it's outrageous.
This is the American zone, and we are visiting.
Says the Russians shouldn't control the Americans.
And you tell him this.
First, I am not discussing the order of the command.
Secondly, we are observers legally
and we are not checking the Americans, but how security measures are carried out.
And thirdly,
we are here in Germany, everyone is visiting - both Russians and Americans.
That's better.
Comrade Colonel, allow me to report:
Captain Volgin has arrived at your disposal.
At ease. So you asked us? Translator?
- Yes, sir. - Languages?
German. English. Russian a little.
Joker?
I was promised a combat officer!
Three years advanced. Military intelligence.
Heard-heard. One of the best in the division.
Okay, let's see.
Set up, intelligence, and wait for orders.
Comrade Colonel, allow me to address a personal question.
Looking for a man... Brother.
Private Nikolai Volgin. He is here in Nuremberg.
Zaitsev, do you know this?
Not at all.
Where can you manage?
Here's the thing, captain. We have an important state business here.
Out in prison - the highest ranks of Nazi Germany,
an international tribunal for war crimes against humanity is coming, the
UN is already on the verge of collapse.
Sabotage is at every turn, the Nazi underground has intensified, and we
still cannot agree with the allies...
Comrade Colonel, Lei hung himself in the prison!
Here is the beginning of the tribunal.
Sir! Sir! I checked three minutes ago.
Everything was fine with him! He just sat on the toilet.
I, I don't know!
- What is this? - Sir!
I ask - where is it from?
Show!
Who carried it?
I don't know!
Who would have thought that the Reichsleiter of Germany
capable of committing suicide over an ordinary letter.
Neurotic. But well done, you turned out to be a good postman.
I did everything you wanted.
This is just the beginning. We have much more serious plans.
We must disrupt the process. We must stop this farce!
At any cost. Germany is still strong.
It is not important to release the prisoners or remove them.
The main thing is to disrupt the process.
You don't have those options.
You do not know our capabilities. Soon everyone will know what we are capable of.
Where is my daughter?
This is for you from her.
How did you manage to hide her from the Gestapo?
She is German.
And her mother is Jewish, who was sent to Auschwitz.
Do you know how the Jews are treated in the Reich?
So it's in your best interest to work with us and help get to Göring.
He is a key figure.
Give me Elsie!
Seek access to Göring. That's an order.
Remember: one careless word and you will never see
not your daughter, not her charming nanny.
Look for access to Göring!
The whole world is watching the events taking place in a small German town.
The trial of the century opens in Nuremberg.
How will the hearings take place? What will be the verdict?
There were fears that the tribunal would not be allowed to take place.
And if it does take place, the Nazi
criminals, for lack of sufficient evidence
can escape punishment and be released.
- Wow pandemonium! - Yes. There is no time for a person.
Are you talking about brother? Don't be mad at the colonel.
He is a good man. And you are happy - you have a brother.
Listen, maybe you should go around the city?
Maybe you know what.
Volgin! What are you?
Kolka!
Sorry, got it.
- You go there. - I'm invited!
I have a special invitation!
Here only for officials and military.
He says this passage is for civilians.
Right! Order first.
Herr Schwentke, I'm from the city administration.
Captain Volgin.
Finally, we've been waiting for this day! And your German is excellent!
Oh! Look! American artist.
She has a concert today in the square in honour of the opening of the tribunal.
Maybe you should look for your brother there, huh?
Comrade radio listeners, I continue my reportage from the German city of Nuremberg.
Jury Hall No. 600 of the City Palace of Justice.
Gentlemen, please take your seats!
Göring!
The main Nazi criminals occupy the dock.
Hermann Göring - the second man in the Nazi Reich,
President of the Reichstag, Reich Minister of Aviation,
Prime Minister of Prussia.
Until April 1945, he was Hitler's main successor.
Göring is followed by Hess, the former Deputy Führer for the NSDAP.
Former Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Third Reich Ribbentrop.
Former Chief of Staff of the High Command of the Wehrmacht,
Field Marshal Keitel.
Former editor-in-chief of the anti-Semitic newspaper Der Stürmer Streicher.
Former governor-general of occupied Poland Frank.
Colonel General Jodl...
Alfred! Alfred! I'm here! Alfred!
Ma'am, you have to get out. Let's go over here.
It is my husband! He is not to blame for anything!
Follow with us.
They'll justify it...
I ask everyone to stand up!
And here are the judges - representatives of the four victorious powers.
The chairman of the tribunal is the British judge Lord Lawrence.
Representatives from the Soviet Union:
Iona Timofeevich Nikitchenko and Alexander Fedorovich Volchkov.
I ask the accused to report whether they consider themselves guilty or not guilty
of the charges brought against them.
Hermann Wilhelm Göring.
Before answering the question of the High Court,
Do I plead guilty...
I inform the court that the defendants are not allowed to make statements.
You must say whether you plead guilty or not guilty.
I do not plead guilty in the
sense that I am charged.
Joachim von Ribbentrop, do you plead guilty or not guilty?
I don't plead guilty!
I don't plead guilty.
Not guilty.
I don't plead guilty.
I hope that today I will have at least as many spectators at the concert.
American litter!
Go to your Johns!
Out of sight!
Get out!
Sorry.
You scared me!
Sorry. I didn't want.
Don't be afraid, I'm mine.
My name is Igor.
Lena.
- You didn't like the concert? I can't watch them bully her.
Yes, it's not pleasant. And I was looking for a person there.
He is my brother. Nikolai Volgin - maybe you heard?
I don't know much here.
It's a pity... And how did you end up here? Are you from the delegation?
No.
Where?
She worked at a factory.
On the Germans?
You did not understand. I was stolen.
There were many of ours: stolen, prisoners!
Well, whoever wanted to, he fought.
And all the stolen, prisoners are traitors.
Judge Lord!
I am speaking here as a representative of the Union of Soviet
Socialist Republics, which took the
brunt of the blows of the fascist invaders
and made a huge contribution to the
defeat of Nazi Germany and its satellites.
I accuse the defendants of preparing and carrying out a treacherous
attack on the peoples of my country
and all freedom-loving peoples.
I accuse the defendants of having unleashed a world war,
in violation of the fundamental principles of international law,
turned the war into an instrument of mass extermination
of civilians, into an instrument of robbery, violence and robbery.
When several criminals agree to commit murder,
each of them plays its own role:
one develops a plan of murder,
another waits in the car, the third directly shoots the victim,
but whatever the roles of these accomplices, they are all murderers,
and any court in any country will reject attempts to claim that
they are not murderers, since they themselves did not shoot the victim.
The more complex and dangerous the intended crime,
the more complex and thinner the threads connecting individual accomplices.
- Come on! - See you.
Hello!
Igor!
Igor, wait!
Listen!
I can help you find your brother.
Igor!
Here in Russian!
Write.
Maybe he will respond. Lots of people are found missing here.
And I'll ask again.
Not all traitors here, as you think.
If so, why don't you come back?
Three hundred marks! Three hundred marks!
- Skip it! - The work of a famous artist!
Where did you get it from? Where did you get this portrait?
Igor, you scare her!
Don't be afraid. Look, it's him! Where did you get this picture?
She is mine. I bought. At the sale... At the camp.
What camp?
Here, near Nuremberg. There were Russian prisoners there.
What prisoners?
Stop the thief! Stop the thief!
Thanks for your help, Captain!
Where is the picture?
I didn't understand:
Kolka that was in captivity?
How did everything go?
We agreed to meet again.
I need information from this Russian.
Present.
Is it possible for a child?
Please open.
Volgin, Volgin! To Migachev, Urgently!
Translate!
Yes, it's illegible here. Further: "... ordered immediate
attracting 400-500 thousand Ukrainian women
for household use.
Signature - Sauckel.
"... I order to destroy all combat-ready men during the retreat, having previously
used them as manpower for military needs."
Adolf Hitler.
That's it, you understand.
According to our information, the Nazis hide secret archives in the mountains:
lists of Abwehr agents, dossiers on
Soviet citizens who ended up in Nuremberg.
And in the process, you see, the situation is unpredictable.
Togo and look, the defendants will also be acquitted.
New evidence would be most welcome.
Do you understand that these are important documents?
Yes sir.
It would be nice to have them.
But we are in the American zone, we
have no right to act without agreement...
So we are quiet. Allow me, Comrade Colonel!
Set aside!
Our captain is reconnaissance
knows how to be quiet.
Can you?
I can.
So...
You take the soldiers, they will help you load the boxes into the lorry, and my driver,
he is reliable.
Now look, this is the card.
- May I do it? - Carefully!
- May I do it? - Come on!
Eat!
Zaitsev, why are you up?
Follow!
I see that Comrade Colonel respects you greatly.
He would never have transplanted me into a lorry, but he did it for you.
Hush, hush, hush, hush!
It won't be quieter. Let's get stuck.
Brake, brake, brake!
Quick out of the car! Fast!
Taraburkin! For the car!
Oh oh!
Get down!
What's this? Why were you sent there? Can you trust something or not?
What's with the hand?
Nonsense. Scratch.
Rest?
Two wounded. Fritz put all.
"Make a fool pray to God..." Did you talk about the operation with someone?
OK.
In that wing of the palace they are making a film for the process. Take it to them, it might work.
The court adjourns until tomorrow morning.
Igor!
What a blessing that I found you!
And what happened?
Most importantly, you are silent. I myself.
Herr Brandhov!
Herr Brandhov! If you don't let me in, I'll bring it.
I know where you worked.
I didn't work anywhere! Go away!
Herr Brandhov, we will not harm you.
Let's just talk.
I was not a member of the Nazi Party.
I didn't even go to watch them march.
But did you work at the camp?
I was a driver and just drove officers.
So you saw a lot of people there?
I didn't see anything
came and went.
Then the Americans began to bomb the city.
My wife is dead. And I lost my arm.
That's all.
This person looks like me!
I didn't see any prisoners.
Thank you.
And the Russian was not offended there. Fed. They even let me paint...
Who was allowed?
There was a Russian artist there.
What did he look like?
Skinny.
Herr Hammer brought him paints, even made a workshop.
He treated him well.
The artist worked for the Germans?
Yes. And then he ran away.
How did he escape? Escaped from the camp?
It seems to have run away, but I don’t know any more.
Who is Hammer?
SS man. Camp Inspector.
He was in charge. A very good person!
I took him sometimes.
Herr Hammer? What about the name?
How to find it?
He is not from here. Loved pictures, music.
About the artist baked. And he ran away.
Can you describe this Hammer?
Tall, slim. Real Aryan.
Sure?
I prepared everything. What else to expect? We must act.
With such protection?
Forty-four in this camp
there were much more guards, but some escaped anyway.
This is your artist.
I have to get approval from the chief.
It will be late.
And yet the Americans are barbarians! Destroy this beauty!
Ordinary daub.
You're wrong. This artist is a great talent.
If the fresco had been completely preserved, people from all over the world would come here.
To hell with the artist!
I got a job at a service camp for the Americans and all for nothing?
Are you going to take prison or not?
OK. Take action!
Take them to the woods, to our secret base.
And I select a dozen of the most reliable, for emergencies.
Eat!
Come on, cartographer.
- What's happened? - Escape!
Three hundred people fled! Three hundred!
An entire army is on the loose!
The guards are still dead.
And now we are here as if in a state of siege -
did you see how they cordoned off the Palace? And here you are again with your brother!
And what, should I quit everything now and look for some Hammer?
Volgin!
Volgin, wait!
Don't pay attention, he's just freaking out.
- Everyone's crazy. But why the hell knows what to carry?
What, you don't know? Well, you give, intelligence!
They went on the offensive at the tribunal and now they blame us for everything.
Mr. lawyer, closer to the heart of the matter.
This is the point.
My clients insist that in 1941 the Soviet Union
concentrated huge forces on its western
borders in order to attack Germany...
The German leadership,
including my clients,
was forced to deliver a pre-emptive strike and stop Soviet aggression.
One minute, Your Honour!
I ask the court to accept written evidence
Commander-in-Chief of the 6th Nazi Army, former Field Marshal Paulus,
which on the 31st of January 1943, near Stalingrad
surrendered to the soldiers of the Red Army.
Written testimony written by field marshal
personally and voluntarily.
It says...
I object!
The court must not accept written evidence if the witness is alive.
If you really want to convince us
then provide us with this mythical Paulus personally,
Mr. Chief Prosecutor Rudenko.
Captain Volgin! The Soviets are having a hard time...
Yes, and we who are left, too, right?
It is difficult to prove one's innocence, if at all possible.
What are you doing here in this cold?
I found three Hummers, but they turned out to be ordinary citizens...
And who is it? Interesting face.
This is some kind of rank from the city administration.
He promised to make inquiries about the Hammer.
Give me your hand, otherwise you are numb...
Igor Volgin! Mother embroidered.
I...
What?
I thought: suddenly, you will need to go to the bulletin board again.
What have you done to us?
They staged a trial over us, and you yourself are turning us into a herd!
We were different!
My son was not guilty of anything, and you killed him.
in his accursed Stalingrad!
I have not been to Stalingrad. What was your son doing there?
He defended his homeland.
In my country?
Yes, if I ran into him at the front,
I would shoot without talking!
Damn you!
Marvellous!
They also hate us for what they themselves have done, huh!
And who writes to you?
It's not for me. These are mothers. Brother...
He wrote letters to her, but she was no longer among the living.
She died of starvation in Leningrad. And Tanya, sister.
And my father died near Kharkov. He was a military doctor.
But I don’t remember mine, my aunt raised me.
This is a brother?
Brother. Kolka.
You look like.
Yes, we were often confused in childhood. Although we have always been very different,
I play football with the boys, and he draws.
You are just a different person, a military man.
I'm not a military man, I'm a translator.
I learned to help people understand each other, not to fight...
But it had to...
Did he draw all of this? - Yes.
That's very beautiful. He is talented.
Lena, I think I'm starting to get jealous of your own brother.
Wow, translator... I can't imagine you without a military uniform.
Probably, in this coat and hat you will be completely unrecognisable.
Here you go. If I don't want to be recognised, I'll put on a coat and a hat.
And you have a funny heart on your back.
There was a hole there.
And you have cold hands... Take mittens. This is a gift.
I didn't have to come.
Your mistress will swear even more.
She is not my mistress. I called you here myself.
Guten Morgen. And Russish is golden at home?
- Didn't interfere? - Not at all.
Warm up with tea?
I'm downstairs, Comrade Colonel.
Well, Captain, well settled down...
Hear the command! We need to bring a witness to the trial.
- Comrade Colonel... - Don't interrupt!
Archival witness.
Protect like the apple of your eye. To keep hair from falling off your head.
- Comrade Colonel, I'm not alone... - Of course, not alone!
I'll give you a soldier.
Meet me at the airport and take a detour. Here.
And deliver Field Marshal Paulus to the Palace of Justice.
Field Marshal Paulus? Commander of the sixth German army?
Exactly! For the entire world community, he is dead.
Hitler even held a show funeral with an empty coffin after Paulus
allegedly died near Stalingrad.
Now he is an important trump card for us.
The Germans insist that the threat of war came from the Soviet Union and that
they were simply pre-empting the strike.
They speculate on it.
If Paulus confirms the testimony given by him in Moscow and refutes this, this will
be a turning point in the whole process,
it will be a historic moment.
Your task is to deliver him to the Palace of Justice by the beginning
of the meeting alive and unharmed.
Do you realise how important this mission is, Captain?
Do not let me down. Any questions?
Comrade Colonel, I...
Tea another time. Good mittens...
Well, okay... Half an hour to get ready.
Is this your boss?
Yes like that...
You were right: not the best time...
Let this stay between us, okay?
- Kettle. - What?
Kettle.
Hey!
Crap!
I told you: without my permission - nowhere!
You don't understand, it can be dangerous.
What else is this?
Present.
Whose?
Russian.
You wanted him to trust me.
Helmut.
Don't date that Russian again.
Let's do without it!
As you say. What's happening?
Getting ready. Today is a very important operation.
Everything is assembled, the rest is already in place.
How much can you eat? Where is this bag from?
Get ready!
Be a man!
Let it get used! Will you come with us?
Let's go!
Didn't take? And they didn't take me.
Well, to hell with him, with this Paulus.
How is it at home? Fine?
Back it!
Well, hello Moscow!
I'll pass it on.
There is no passage! There is no passage! I said no way!
Click! Click! Click! Click!
Get down!
Click! Click! Come on! Come on!
Don't stop!
Crap! Crap!
Mr. Presiding, at the last meeting of the tribunal
defence officials protested
and refused to take note of the written statement of the
witness for the prosecution
Field Marshal Paulus.
Mr. lawyer insisted on the personal presence of the witness.
In this regard, at the insistence of the defence, I
want to bring Field Marshal of the former German army Friedrich Paulus into the interrogation room.
Mr President, the
defence waives its claim.
I think the questioning of the witness Paulus is not needed, and
we can move on to the next agenda.
The court considers it necessary to hear the testimony of the witness for the prosecution, Paulus.
Sir, stop!
I'm sorry.
My name is Friedrich Paulus.
Repeat after me the words of the oath.
Before the face of God Almighty, I swear to tell the truth,
only the truth, nothing but the truth.
I swear!
Mister witness, what do you know
about preparing an armed attack on the Soviet Union?
On the 3rd of September 1940, I began working at the General Staff
main command of the ground forces.
Among other cases, I found an operational development of an attack on the USSR.
Operation goals:
firstly, the destruction of Russian troops in Western Russia
and suppression of the possibility of retreat deep into Russia
secondly, reaching a line that would make effective
raids by Russian air forces on the territory of the German Empire.
The ultimate goal was to reach the Volga-Arkhangelsk line
and the conquest of the main regions of Soviet Russia,
including the capital of Moscow.
Which of the defendants took an active part in unleashing an
aggressive war against the Soviet Union?
Among the defendants, I would like to name the following most
important advisers to Hitler:
Keitel,
Jodl,
Göring - as chief marshal
and Commander-in-Chief of the German Air Force
and Arms Commissioner.
Traitor!
Order!
My husband is a simple soldier, he followed orders.
You can't judge a soldier for honestly following orders.
The SS men who escaped from the camp pose a serious threat.
The city administration will recommend postponing the process.
Volgin!
My employee. Used it for a distraction operation:
it was he who carried Adjutant Paulus.
What kind? Where is the adjutant?
Died. Field Marshal Paulus... I'm sorry, the field marshal's adjutant died.
We were ambushed.
Where is the ambush?
Who is hiding behind the doors all the time, huh?
I'll find out.
Igor!
Thank God you are alive!
What should have happened to me?
I ask what must have happened to me since last night?
- Let go! I'm in pain!
I knew you couldn't be trusted! After all, he did know!
- Volgin! Where are you going? - And where is Migachev?
Went to the hall.
Hey Russian!
Heard the latest news? Churchill is an old fool!
Do your papers not write about it?
He gave a speech in Fulton that the main threat was not the Nazis.
Who?
- You! Soviet! And not much you've done
and you didn't suffer too much in the war.
And our colonel supports him, apparently.
Now God himself ordered to have an affair with you - to spite everyone!
In the Ukrainian SSR on the island of Khortitsa, after the departure
of the German units driven out by the Red Army, the corpses of captured Red Army soldiers were found.
The hands of the prisoners were cut off
gouged out eyes
bellies ripped open.
Bodies of battalion commander Bobrov were found near the village of Repki in Ukraine.
political instructor Pyatigorsky and two fighters.
Hands and feet were nailed to stakes,
and five-pointed stars are carved on the bodies with knives.
The faces of the dead were slashed and burned.
In the area of ​​​​the city of Borisov, the Nazis captured
70 seriously wounded Red Army soldiers were poisoned with arsenic.
- Comrade Colonel... - Tomorrow.
Comrade Colonel, this is important!
Well let's go.
I see you have been sitting in the tribunal all day since the first meeting.
- Do nothing? - Comrade Colonel.
I know how information about Paulus got to the Germans. It's because of me.
Continue!
I met a girl...
She was with me when you came to me. And she heard everything.
It's my fault, I should have told you.
- Who is she? - Our, former.
- Surname. - I don't know my last name. The name is Lena.
- Signs. - Growth about one hundred and seventy.
Slim. Brown hair. I don't know where he lives...
Comrade Colonel. I am ready to take any punishment.
Why should I trust you?
Maybe there is such a Lena. Or maybe she isn't.
Maybe you work underground?
No way! Yes, whatever, I...
- Here! - What is this?
Report.
- What's the report? - On your name.
That's it, arrest me.
Arrest... Got it...
Does anyone else know about your Lena?
Not at all.
So, no one else about all this. I'll figure it out myself.
And one more thing - stay away from this Lena for a cannon shot.
I'm sorry... Are you looking for someone?
A mechanic from Remeslennaya Street was hiding a man, a Russian.
I found it in a downpour on the road and hid it here.
He was ill, but did not let go of the brush.
And one day he disappeared.
He asked to send letters and drawings to his brother.
When the Americans came, I put everything in an envelope and sent it.
One person was obsessed with finding him.
What kind of person?
Esses.
Your brother painted a fresco somewhere, and it was destroyed.
And this man...
I wanted to restore it no matter what.
I'd like to find him, maybe he knows something.
- Is that a Hammer? - Yes. Hammer! Exactly!
There are several Hummers in Nuremberg, but none fit the description.
But it's not a real name!
He broke people's fingers with a hammer, for which he was nicknamed Hammer.
Hammer!
I made soap from the corpses of men and women.
Of the two brews in which I took part, more than twenty-five
kilogrammes of finished soap came out.
For this, 70-80 kilogrammes of human fat were collected.
about forty corpses.
Hey! Move over!
This is from the testimony of the preparator of the anatomical
institute in the city of Danzig.
And this is human skin.
Oh!
From it the Nazis made gloves, handbags, wallets,
bookbindings, lampshades.
I want to provide the court with one more piece of evidence.
This is what stood on the desktop of the commandant of the Auschwitz concentration camp
as a souvenir.
The dried head of one of the prisoners.
This is my wife! It's Judit!
Herr Knud, come to your senses! Calm down!
This is my wife!
Only the offensive of the Red Army put an
end to this monstrous crime of the Nazis!
- It's not your wife! - That's her!
Order!
- Igor! - Leave.
Listen. I have important information!
Tell the authorities that a traitor has appeared in the Soviet delegation.
My superiors will not listen to you.
Igor, you have to tell the colonel...
I already told him everything. Get out of here!
This is my boss too!
Colonel Migachev and my superiors, Igor...
They took me straight from the institute.
They stuffed me into a car and then into freight cars like cattle.
One girl ran away.
She was caught and tied by her feet to the carriage.
Head banged against the wall.
I still dream about that knock.
From there they were sent to the factory.
We were brought from many places: from France, Poland, many Soviet...
You breathe dust, your eyes water, your nose bleeds.
And at night they often woke up for roll call.
As soon as you fall asleep, and then a scream, wind, rain...
Since then, my hands have always been cold.
He took me to him.
I found a rope in the closet.
Helmuth beat me up and told me never to do that again.
And when the war ended, it turned out that I still had to prove
that I didn’t come here myself.
And then the colonel came. Our.
"Do you want to go home? Then serve your country."
- Migachev. - Yes.
The colonel needed information...
I found out something, passed it on to the colonel.
But I can't do it, Igor!
And now the colonel has ceased to trust me.
He decided that I told Helmut about Paulus.
And Helmuth got another informant - I don't know who.
I need to know where to look for you.
I can't tell, I promised the Colonel not to tell.
But to me, you can...
I cannot. I promised. Nobody has to know.
Does the colonel know?
No, but he doesn't care, he's not looking for Helmut, but the main one.
Igor! Helmut hides the girl.
This is a German girl, very small.
The name is Elsie. And a woman with her. Not a mother, probably a nanny.
The girl calls her Brigitte.
Igor, Helmut somehow uses them to get on the prisoners...
Surely he knew about all these atrocities,
but he understood the purpose and understood that this would help
to achieve its implementation.
Hitler was a genius.
I spoke to my friends abroad
that they should give aid to the Brüning government,
otherwise they will have to deal with Hitler.
Have you noticed that most of the accusers are Jews?
And this one is American.
He can call himself Jackson all he wants,
but in fact he is I-kob-dream.
I didn't take part in the fighting.
In 1944 my first wife died and I married Louise.
By the way, I suspect that Hitler had non-standard sexual inclinations.
No no no!
I won't say anything! Get out! Out!
I will go down in history as a man who did a lot for the Germans.
I held myself to high morals and lofty goals.
And this court is political, not criminal.
Foreigners cannot force me to be
responsible for actions in my own country.
Against the backdrop of cooling in relations between the allies of the
anti-Hitler coalition, the defendants began to behave more confidently.
Everyone is waiting for the interrogation of the second person in the Nazi Reich.
Perhaps Hermann Göring will be
able to publicly refute all the charges.
The situation in the process is becoming more and more unpredictable.
Igor!
- Finally! - My dear!
I didn't know where to look for you...
I'm terribly, I miss you terribly!
Helmut won't let me out of the house. He became not himself.
He's cooking something, I can't figure out what.
If he starts killing, the case will not be limited to one victim.
He wants to do something with the girl.
I can't get her out - there's a guard there.
Tell, tell the colonel, she needs to be rescued.
What? What? What? Stop!
If I don't come back, he might kill Elsie.
And Brigitte can't interfere, please!
What if he kills you?
Tell the colonel! Tell!
I won't let you go anywhere! I must know where to look for you!
Lena...
Be careful.
And more... I found out...
What happened, Hammer? Hammer!
Helmut is the Hammer.
Are you crazy? Exit everyone.
So, come on, sit down.
Why were you sent here?
You wanted an international scandal?
Comrade Colonel, let's cover them - and that's the end of the matter. There is an address.
Who will you cover? Small fry?
We need leaders!
Together with the traitor who wound up with us.
The one you told me about.
- And what about our man? - What kind of person?
Brown hair. Height meter seventy...
That's what, intelligence, you talk less with your tongue, otherwise the stars will fall from shoulder straps.
Comrade Colonel, what should she do? She risks everything!
To do a task. And you - shut up!
And do not forget that she also made bombs at a military factory,
which they then threw at us.
Carried tricks with the SS.
And it’s not a fact that it’s not she who is now leaking information.
Don't you dare go there! That's an order!
You will be self-willed - I will personally send you to the tribunal.
We cannot allow the Reichsmarschall of
Germany to be hung up on a rope like a rat.
This poison should be with Göring.
In case events develop in an undesirable way.
You can request a meeting of the accused with relatives.
Convince the warden of the prison to allow Göring to meet his wife.
I won't do anything else!
Tell your boss, whoever he is, that I won't do anything!
He's already lost. You've all already lost!
You are not! Give me back my daughter!
All right, Herr Knud! I will make you act.
You should distinguish between two categories:
those who committed a serious crime against the new state,
Naturally, they were brought to justice.
However, the rest, from whom such actions could be expected,
placed in preventive detention.
This is at the beginning. Then everything changed significantly.
If someone was placed in preventive detention
for reasons of public necessity,
it could not be reviewed or stopped by the court. Later...
Let's drop it!
If you just answer my question, we will save a lot of time.
I gave a clear answer, but I would like to provide an explanation.
How long can you stare at this card?
I'm studying the catacomb exit system.
Damn cartographer!
Mr. Jackson, the tribunal considers that the witness has the right to give
necessary explanations.
The German people learned about the declaration of war with Russia
only when the war started.
They didn't ask him anything.
We considered fighting the Soviet Union
as an extremely brutal fight.
But I must emphasise that
Himmler did not issue any order
regarding the extermination of 30 million Slavs.
Himmler simply made a speech that
30 million Slavs should be exterminated.
You stated in court that the Hitlerite
government had led Germany to dawn.
Are you still sure that this is so?
Before the war, yes.
The catastrophe came only after the lost war.
I am a German nationalist and I believe in the high ideals of Germany.
When did you realise that the war was lost?
Relatively late.
I thought and hoped that the war would end in a draw.
The faster humanity develops,
the more important it is to be the first to strike.
Herr Knud! Wait! You took my document!
Sorry! Here.
Thank you, thank you!
Herr Knud!
My God!
What did they do to you?
Brigitte! Brigitte...
Hey! Stand! Back!
Wait! Is this your daughter's nanny? Is your daughter's name Elsie?
You confused me with someone else.
We can still save her.
She is being kept somewhere on the outskirts, on Schattenstrasse.
I don't have a daughter. Leave me!
You Russians are capable of only one thing - to destroy everything!
Schattenstrasse?
"Victory"
Volgin!
Comrade Colonel, Captain Volgin has arrived on your orders...
Did you learn how to knock?
Guilty. Didn't know you knew English.
Who gave you permission to disobey the order? I said don't go there!
There was still no one there.
The Americans again protested that we were acting without their knowledge.
And it is not we who act, but you.
The German lawyer complains that you are persecuting him.
Lena and the girl are gone.
Volgin, don't you understand why we're here?
No, I understand everything.
Here is the fate of the world, and there is only one person.
Actually, only two.
Are you alone or what did the war reshape your life?
Yes, here behind every piece of paper - human destiny! For each!
Therefore, we need the tribunal to take place.
So that people do not lose their loved ones.
They didn’t look for children, wives, sisters, brothers around the world...
Until a verdict is passed and the perpetrators are not punished, the
end to the war has not yet been put.
And it is necessary that such a verdict be passed,
which is not subject to revision.
And then time will pass - and they will still say that it was the revenge of the winners.
Facts were rigged, crimes were inflated.
We need to complete this process.
And not only for the sake of the victims, for the sake of the future, for the sake of our children.
So that they do not have to prove later that it was they who attacked
us, and not we attacked them.
I want to save everyone, everyone, and your Lena too,
but if the fate of millions is on the scales?
How would you do?
Did you find out anything about your brother?
I don't know where to look for them, Comrade Colonel.
Your pass!
Thank you! Let's go!
- Can I help you? - Yes, if it's possible.
She twisted her leg.
- Maybe a doctor? - No, don't worry.
Come here, Frau Göring, please.
You are very kind. Thank you
You look good.
You've lost some weight.
Daddy, when are you coming back?
Soon, my girl, soon.
Everything is formed.
Certainly. I love you.
Hug dad.
I love you daddy!
Time!
Enough!
Yes, I feel sorry for your poor nanny too,
but her death is on your conscience.
Tell me: aren't you ashamed?
What?
Aren't you ashamed of what you're doing?
Didn't you feel ashamed after
what was revealed at the tribunal?
Yes you are right.
These defendants are scoundrels.
They used our love for the motherland.
They must be brought to justice! But before our German court!
No foreigner has the right to judge Germany.
No foreigner has the right to judge me!
Where is my daughter?
Take up arms and defend your Motherland!
Give Elsie back or I'll kill you!
Usually in such cases I used a hammer.
We sum up the results of the trial
against major war criminals.
For the first time in history, criminals against humanity bear
responsibility before the international criminal court.
For the first time, peoples judge those who covered the vast expanses with blood,
destroyed millions of innocent people, destroyed cultural
property and plunged the world into an abyss of unprecedented disasters.
To them, who occupied the highest posts in Nazi Germany,
there was no need to shoot with your own hands,
hang, strangle, freeze living people.
This was done by their subordinates who did menial work,
and the defendants had only to give orders.
In the face of judgement, they fell silent.
But now they reproach Hitler not for provoking war,
not for the murder of peoples and the robbery of states.
The only thing they can't forgive him for is defeat.
Together with Hitler, they were ready to enslave all of humanity.
But history judged otherwise.
The verdict of the international military tribunal.
8th of August 1945.
Government of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland,
Government of the United States of America,
Provisional Government of the French Republic
and the Government of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics,
concluded an agreement to establish this
tribunal for the trial of war criminals,
whose crimes do not have a
specific geographical location.
Soldiers of Germany!
We finally gathered strength to take the
Nuremberg prison and free the prisoners.
The day after tomorrow we have a great mission ahead of us. We will win!
And Germany will live forever!
Sieg heil!
Sieg heil! Sieg heil! Sieg heil!
What the heck? You can be seen!
Hammer, I just found out: the execution is tonight.
As today?
Yes today. They sped up everything. No time.
Now or never.
Finally! Offers.
Helena.
- What with her? She is alive? - Yes.
- Where is she? - In the woods. She is being held captive.
And the girl?
There too. Helena told me to tell you that Helmuth would attack the prison.
He won't enter the city. - He's already in town.
- Pass. - He is with me
Faster!
You are right here. You are there too.
- Zaitsev! Where is Migachev? - What happened?
Comrade Colonel, an urgent report!
Good God!
Many cruel and inhuman things have happened in the world because of the act
our rulers, we have no right to turn a blind eye to this.
Forward! Come on!
Therefore, the perpetrators will be justly punished.
Lord, save us from self-deception, lies
and misunderstanding of what happened.
Give humility and repentance to those who are here in front of me
and are now approaching death.
Soften their hearts, deliver them from bitterness, hatred and madness.
I entrust them to you, Lord, because
you are just and wise at all times. Amen.
You are surrounded! Give up!
Fire!
Where is he? Where is he?
Out!
Hammer, hands up!
Stop!
Hammer, give up!
Hammer! Let him go!
Leave him alone!
Zaitsev...
Zaitsev!
Come on?
Crap! Helmut, what have you done!
For such an operation, I would have been kicked out of the Abwehr school with a bang!
Stop! Come to camp!
There may be Americans.
We need to take Helena.
Don't you understand yet? That's her. It's all because of her.
She betrayed you!
Rave.
- Well, are there many more? - Yes, it's full.
What a stubborn one you are! I told you: all exits from the city are closed.
Order of the American command. What else?
Comrade Colonel, he knows how to get there.
Understand, Captain. I feel sorry for her too, your Lena...
I would like to help! I can't.
None of us will be released. I'm sorry.
And if with someone from the Americans, they can release.
Stop! Stop! Stop! Stop!
- Tired of living? - Help me get out of the city!
- Ask your girlfriend. - Help me!
Here to the left.
Left.
Turn off the lights.
Hear a noise - a shot from a rocket launcher up and leave.
For what?
Maybe it'll distract you for a second.
Helena!
Helena! What have you done?
You betrayed me!
Give it to me!
Traitor!
Help!
Lena.
Help!
Lena!
Igor... Igor!
Hush, hush, Elsie.
Hammer! I need a girl and Lena.
Accused Joachim von Ribbentrop, International Military Tribunal
sentences you to death by hanging.
God, be merciful to my soul.
Zaitsev! What are you against your own, against the country?
And you do not confuse the country and the government.
At least you have a brother, but I have no one left at all
in 1937 the whole family was taken away.
This power of yours has taken everyone away from me.
Accused Hans Frank, international military tribunal
sentences you to death by hanging.
Helmut, I beg you! Enough! Stop!
- Shoot her! - Eat!
Accused Alfred Jodl, an international military tribunal
sentences you to death by hanging.
Ted! Oh my God!
Udo, help!
Defendant Julius Streicher.
One day the Bolsheviks will hang you too! Heil Hitler! Heil Hitler!
Defendant Ernst Kaltenbrunner.
Germany remains!
Helmut, I beg you! Everything is over! Stop!
The accused Wilhelm Keitel.
The accused Artur Seitz Inquart.
Hammer, let them go.
You wanted it? Look!
Hammer,
I give up.
I give up,
let them out
do with me what you want
just let them out.
Igor! Igor!
Try hard first.
Like me.
Lena!
Doctors! Doctors!
Lena!
Reichsmarshals are not hung. They leave on their own.
Lena!
I'm here!
Get up! Get up! Behind me!
All is well, all is well.
Hammer, Hammer! The war is over, that's enough!
Do you remember the Russian artist? You were looking for him. This is my brother.
Where is he?
Your brother?
I wonder who you remind me of...
Russian artist, huh?
Helmut, where is he?
He is here. Near...
What? Where?
Please stop the car.
I can't... I'll go on foot, and you go, right?
We'll catch up with you.
Thank you.
Thanks guys.
You heard him say that Kolka is somewhere nearby.
I'll still find it.
We'll find!
